the pattern of the umbrella skirt, which
Is at the moment the most fashionable
skirt worn. 1t is supposed to be partic-
ularlY we'll suited to the striped gauzes
and tissues. There are eight seams in
the width, one just in front and one
just behind. The material is biased
and very narrow at the top; 1t w!dens
at the edge of the skirt, while the bias
waves at the lower part, so that the
skirt requires very considerable guam
tity OF material. Such skirt is worn
without an underskirt, but as a rule
will have light silk lining. About the
hem is placed little shirred aounce,
with a double plated row on top.
The new bodice Is very hard to cut
and fit properly. 1t has only one seam
in the back and the two side pieces are
cut in bias so as to cling to the waist
snugly.

New York, July 16.-I like to go
about this summer because people look
30 interesting. That is very different
thing, as you know, from saying they
look beautiful. In fact, they don't look
beautiful, because hip fOunces and mud
RULES are not commonly becoming; but
the flower brocades and the shot silks
and the blOssom-covered hats and the
paniers and the parasols are certainly
interesting.

day? didn't bet and really behaved

horses I looked at the women, AID they

or ribbons with high aigrettes and tuftS

as any tint In the brilliant pageant.

P. Reed, of that paper, have sold their
interest at the rate Of 100000 for the

In the paper, as the real estate was

The purchase Of the interests are said
to be in the interest of Mrs. n. P. Reed
and one or two gentlemen outside Of the
family, John Dunlap, Esq, father OF
Mrs n. 2. Reed, making the purchase.
The estate of n. p. Reed will hold al
most nine-tenths of the stock Of the
organized company, and within week
the paper will be under the management t
of the persons who have made the pur-
chase.
Tho consideration, which amounts
close to $780, 900, has been paid in cash,
and the two gentlemen who have sold
will at once sever their connection with
the paper. One or the OUTSIDE purcnaS-
ers is said to be Collector Warmcastle,
but as that gentleman is out Of the city,
1t was impossible to verify that portion
of the above statement. 1t Is well

A Heinous Proceeding.

That must have been near relative OF
senator Call, of whom Col. W, of the
engineer corps, told me the other day. The
colonel had been sent down to a certain
Florida stream, the Improvement of which
was contemplated in one of the river and
harbor bills, with instructions to gauge its
water. While engaged with his men in this
operation, an old fellow came along with a
cart drawn by single OK, on which was a
small quantity of wood. Hating his team
as he came near he said:
wv hat ON 'arth are them men dom thar?''
Wen, replied the colonel, "they are try
ing TO lind out how many bucketfuls of water
run down this creek in twenty-four hoursn
The man gazed at the party in mute won,
der and asked:
Mister are that faotp
Yes, said the colonel, that is lust what
they are doing"
AFTER an earnest contemplation the man
shook his head and in grave tones replied:
wen mister, it do appear to me that that
G,iar thing are unconstitutional. - New
