Novelties in Neck Wear,

The following new arrangements for
completing the summer toilet are de-
scribed by Harper's Bazaar: \ white net
ruche for the neck is newer than those Of
black lace. 1t is made of large meshed
net such as fish net, edged with the mar
rowest purliug The fuliness is laid in box
pla.ts in the middle of inch wide ribbon;
the frills are each three inches wide above
ana below the ribbon, the upper frill droop-
ing over and caught now and then to that
below. The ribbon extends in long ends
in front to tie in a bow.
a collar of long stemmed Parma violets
is another novelty for wearing with after
noon costumes. There is first a deep fall
of black lace passing around the neck, and
in a jabot TO he waist in front; the violets
are mounted on the lace to flare outward
aboIt the neck, and are thickly clustered
down the jabot.
\ fold of thin French Grape, wrought
with jet or two folds of Brussels net dotted
with fine beads, gives the black finish to
the neck and sleeves of dark gowns. A
trimming of lace like that used elsew here
on the gown is preferred by many, as frills
falling on the hand and an erect frill atthe
neck. Chiffon mousseline folds also edge
dress collars, while other collars are formed
entirely of folds OF chiffon. The soft,
dropping frills of chiffon are so becoming
that they remain in favor notwithstanding
the fancy for tea tinted and coffee colored
laces beaded with Jet.
Parisians are wearing plaitings and col
lars of the sheerest linen cambria, with
embroidery, drawn work or lace as trim
ming. Linen collars, which have been so
long out of favor, are again worn here with
tailor gowns, The collar is the English
band of linen with points broken over at
the throatsor else wider collar that flares
slightly and is turned down narrowly all
along the edge. A chemisette neatly tucked
or in a wide box plat like a shirt front is
added to such collars, and a four-in-hand
scarf of foulard or of crepe de chine is
worn. Linen cuffs are wide and are made
to meet and fasten with linked buttons OF
gold or chased silver

Arranging Lace Flounces.

A pretty and uncommon way of arrang
ing lace fiounces, now being affected by
some of the leading dressmakers, is to use
one founce, If it is about four yards long, by
festooning 1t twice across the front of the
skirt first half way down and secondly
near the edge of the skirt, turning over the
top o. the lace in two or three inch hem,
rum NJ ribbon in it, and gathering it ~
on the basque at the back of the bodice or
slightly TO one side. Each flounce (or
rather the half of the one fiounce, for it is
not cut, but turned back has its separats
drawstring. so that four ends are caught
up together at the back. The lace is
draped in one festoon. 1t is possible to
arrange three festoons across the front,
and is sometimes done. If there are short
lengths, or an old fashioned berthe, it is
carried around the top of the low bodice,
and forms short, full sleeves.

TIN PLATE PRICES.
AMERICAN SHEET IRON DEARER
THAN TIN PLATE.

Hard Facts for the Mckinley Infant"
The Great Redu-tion in Tin Plate
Prices in Twenty Years-vain Ameri-
can Boasts-Our Costly Experiment.
In 1874 the price of tin plates was
7.65 cents per pound, the price having
been on steady rise for the previous ten
years. This advance in price was due to
an increasing demand for tin plates at
the same time that the supply of pig tin
was not materially increased. The grow
ing demand for tin caused the price of
pig tin to rise in London from S435 ton
in 1864, to $795 in 1872. In 1872, how
ever, Australia began to produce tin in
large quantities, and in a few years was
producing about one-third of the worlds
consumption, the result being that tin
declined in London to S262 per ton in
1878.
From 1874, therefore, the price of tin
plates began to decline. Having touched
high water mark at 7.65 cents. the price
fell the next year to 7.27, then III 1876
at single bound TO s. 16, in 1877 to 4.46,
1878 to 4.07, in 1879 to 3.7S, 1880 a
slight advance to AT, after which a
steady decline, reaching during the five
years 1SS6-90 the average of 2.99 cents
per pound. These figures give the i'm
port prices.
At the same time that prices were de-
Ginning the production in Wales was
growing enormously. In 1874 England
exported 2,459, 200 hNndredweight of tin
plates. In 1890 her exports reached
1914, 500 hundredweight.
The decline in prices just noted was
due not so much to the increased pro-
duction as to inventions and improved
processes. The rapid advocates of set
ting up tin plate industry in the United
States at public expense are continually
assuring us that the methods of tin plate
manufacture in vogue in Wales have
undergone no improvement-that they
are ANTICIPATED. On the other hand, so
eminent an authority as David \. Wells
says, The lowering Of prices in Wales
has been due to the improvements in the
manufacture of iron and the extensive
substitution of steel plates for charcoal
and puddled iron plates" More direct
improvements have been made in the
processes of manufacturing and timing.
So great are the improvements made
that a modern tin plate mill, says Mr.
Wells, will turn out every twenty-four
hours more than double the product of
old fashioned mills. without any in
crease of expenditure for motive power
or labor.
Before saddlipg an enormous tax of
$4,000, 900 year upon the people of the
United States our prospective tin plate
makers ought to have sat down and
counted the cost of manufacturing TIN
plate. If they had they would have
found that our manufacturers of sheet
iron have not Yet succeeded in putting
their product upon the market az so low
a price as the Welsh makers of tin plate
sell that article. The following table
gives a comparison of the average yearly
prices of sheet iron, sheet steel, galva-
nized steel and timed plates for the past
ten years:

The above table shows the average
prices of common sheet iron at Chicago,
best bloom sheet steel and bloom sheet
steel galvanized at Philadelphia, and the
average import prices of timed plates for
each year since 1881. The lowest price at
which the sheet manufacturers have been
able to sell their steel sheets of No. %
wire gauge is 4.23 cents per pound, and of
galvanized steel sheets of the same gauge
5.3S cents per pound. Steel sheets for
Timing must be rolled to No, 80 wire
gauge, and the additional cost for this,
together with the cost for cutting. pick
ling and timing, will make total cost
for timed plates of not less than 575
cents per pound. This shows clearly
that all statements of the sheet manu-
facturers that they can make timed
plates as cheaply as the plates can be
bought from abroad are without foun-
dation in fact.
In the table just given it will be fur
Their seen that the price of galvanized
sheet steel has averaged at least twice
as high as tin plates. This galvanized
sheet steel, which is chosen for the pres
ent comparison as being an article SINH
lar to tin plate, is coated by an electrical
process with zinc. Now zinc costs only
about one-third as much as tin. and this
difference must be taken account of in
comparing galvanized steel and tin plate
Then the question assumes this strong
form, If our makers of galvanized steel
sheets, using zinc at one-third the price
of tin and coating their sheets by
cheap electrical process, cannot make
their product and sell it at a price aver
aging less than 2.sS cents pound higher
than the import price of tin plate during
the past five years, how are they going to
make tin plates now under duty of 90
cents per pound and sell them below the
present foreign price?
AT present it seems certain that the
consumers of the United States will have
TO pay their $15, 900, 600 year tax on tin
plate without seeing any important tin
plate industry spring up in this country.

MRS. JOHN GRAY

Is the wife of the energetic, hard working
rector of the Church of the Advent. She is
charming lady, thoroughly in sympathy
with her husbands aims and work, aiding
him in whole-souled effective manner, es-
pecially among the more purely social
duties, which play so important part in the
success of any church organization. 1t will
be remembered that on more than one oc-
casion the Church of the Advent inaugur-
ated and successfully carried out affairs on
large scale at the Mechanics Pavilion.
The most remarkable of these were the
paper carnyals, in which the participants
were attired in costumes made of paper,
that is, the adornment of the garments were
of paper, the original cloth frame work of
court costume, peasants garb and cOur-
tiers suit being entirely hidden from view
by the fanciful arrangement of the paper
superstructure. To organize and arrange
such an entertainment required herculean
endeavors on the part of few ladies, who
succeeded in calling to their aid host of
willing hearts and hands. Among tn ose
who thus labored for the cause of relig ion
and charity, the rector's wife must be ac-
corded high place. for not only did she ex-
ert her influence to get the entertainment
under way, but she worked hard during the
whole time, acting rs a participant, engag-
ing in the grand march tableaux during the
season.
