weeks of street sweeping to make the dress
as nasty as it would otherwise have been
on the first trip down town.

aphancus or solid, substantial or chosen
for its wearing qualities?
The fashions are really so varied that
you can not well go wrong in your choice
of dress if you bear always in mind three
or four things. First, you must be fat in
the back-not sign of hustle or crino-
line; you must have a shopping bag
dangling at your side; you must have a
skirt that drags and you must be all alike
in tint. Your whole costume must cor
respond in some way.
Suppose you have dress of one of those
lovely soft new spring blues, striped in
white. You must, with this, wear pair
of white gloves, stitched in blue, and on
your head must be little wreath of flow-
ers with blue velvet strings. or, should you
choose to be natty, pancake sailor hat.
If you have chosen a brown India silk
with lovely pink and white thistles upon it,
remember that you must wear tan gloves,
shaded almost into brown, and that pink
bonnet with brown velvet loops upon it.
or brown tips standing upright upon some
aggressive point in the hat, will be stylish
and becoming.
Speaking of feather tips, one is reminded
to take note of the exceedingly novel way
in which they are now fixed upon a hat.
Instead of being snugly nestled in nest
of velvet loops, bows and ends, they are
put all by themselves. standing boldly up
right as upon soldiers hat. Right in
front of the pancake sailor, like spire
upon a church steeple, stands little
bunch of black, red, blue, pink or whatso-
ever color feathers the wearer may have
selected. There seems to be no excuse for
their being there, and no special reason
why they should remain, for they do not
appear TO be very securely fastened, and,
unless one is educated fully up TO the style,
truth TO tell they are not ornamental
But they are sturdy, upright, bold and ag-
gressive little upstairs so to speak. that
seem to say that for once in their lives they
are given fair show.

ence. What are you going to wear, my
pretty maid, this summer of grace, when
the fashions smile on so many varied Gre
atoms?
Shall you choose a tight-ftting bodice,
setting close as your skin, until it reaches
the waist line, and then ending in fluffy
fiounce, or shall your bodice be tight and
extend over the hips until you seem to be
all waist? Shall you shoose a Louis XIV
coat with ruffied waistcoat, or Louis XIV
with smooth one? Either is in height
of style, you know.
Or will your taste lead you to waist
with two rows of full old-fashioned ruff
fling OF the same material, running from
the neck TO the waist line, both in the
front and in the back? Or shall it be q
surplice waist gathered at the shoulders
and crossed in nun-like simplicity over
your breast-you willy little siren-if you
are thin and would add cubit to your
breadth? Or shall you have shirt front,
dicky and avest a la man and cutaway
jacket?
Shall you have pancake hat as big as a
platter, or little bit of poke that, upon
investigation, proves to be only wreath
of flowers with q couple of velvet strings
fastened to the back of it? If
you are wise woman you will
choose the latter, for you will bear
in mind that the former independent,
aggressive style of headgear is ad-
mired by men as being chic, smart and
nifty-not 10 say "fy"-but the latter is
loved by them as something altogether
approachable, womanly and sweet, and
the only thing that woman ever ought
to wear upon her head, anyway.
And then about your parasol. Isit to be
for show or for use, for shade or for sun?
Is it to be plain or fussy? Is it to be di-

bottom of the skirt to hold it out in
grand balloon fashion. The shock OF
the discovery and the fear that
another season might compel her to go
swinging around in one of these hoop-sklrt
structures so affected the woman that it
drove her home with nervous headache:
Upon relating her experience to a friend
she was told that the discovery was not a
new one, that hoop-skirts were being. Of
fered for sale at all of the stores and that
the dressmakers were now beginning to
put reeds around the bottom of the skirts.
Thus it is that fashion first reveals itself
TO common mortals in glimpses, leaving 1t
for time, with its healing balm, to soften
the harshness of changes that at first
glance seem uncomfortable, but to which
one becomes habituated after days and
days and days.
As reward for having penetrated dark
est Africa, Mr.. Stanley has had sash
named after him, and it has received the
stamp of popular approval. 1t is.worn with
tennis suits in place OF the tennis belt. 1t
is worn with cambrics and muslin and
challie dresses. 1t is worn with cheviots
and silks. 1t is worn with everything. In
every store you go, whetherit be on Eighth
avenue or upon Broadway, very near the
door, upon a long counter you will find
box after box of these Stanley sashes.
They are made of surah, and are, when
hooked around the waist, about half yard
long-that is, the ends hang down half q
yard at the side, for the Stanley sash is al
ways hooked on one side and always hangs
perfectly straight without loop or tie. 1t
is made of the full width of surah and is so
fashioned over crinoline that it forms
girdie at front and back, and is narrow on
either hip. The ends are fringei. As it
has been said, these are worn in every
style and variety of make and material.
An odd example of this was seen a few
days ago at a fashionable Sixth avenue
dressmaker's. Upon the dummy or MA
ria," in one corner of the fitting room,
awaiting the customer who was coming to
try it on, was beautiful suit of very light
grey lady's cloth. The waist was a round
one, and the skirt as scanty as the size for
whom it was made would permit. and
there, upon this really elegant dress,
uniting the waist and skirt, was a navy
blue Stanley sash, hooked at the side and
falling down straight and plain to the
length of about half yard, Just as thou
sands of other sashes hang every day upon
palmer suits.
Those who do not wear the Stanley sash
wear the victor belt, which is just the
same as the Stanley, except that it is girdle
shaped only in front, being narrow in the
back and having no dangling ends.
1t is truly, with all these belt demarka-
tons and waist discriminators, a wear for
slender women, and stout people who cam
not call attention to their waists by tying
sasheS around them, would do well to un-
dergo some course of treatment for the re-
duction of superfiuous avoirdupois, for in
dications point to the fact that sashes and
belts and girdles will be more popular than
ever all next fall and winter

ON STRAIGHT LINES.

The council last night looped of an
other slice of the territory that would
have become q part of the city, under
any OF the heretofore proposed extern
sion of the city's limits. This partially
ssraightens out the proposed line on the
north, but there is much more that
ought yet to be done.
II is quite amusing to hear one CAPT.
talist argue that to take in 90 large an
area of farm lands" will increase the
taxes on the moro valuable property III
the center of tho city, and then to
watch the schemes and maneuvers of
some other capitalist who desires to
gerrymander the new line around, but
just this side of their property he owns
now outside the old limits. If Grand
Rapids Is spread out and increase in
population during the next decade, as
IL has in the past two, "A extension to
four miles wide and five miles
long is none too much. Whatever
Is done should be well done. What
ever IS done should be done with an
eye to the future as we'll as the present.
Ii the miniature Mckinley distric,
that the adoptd extension now presents
is allowed to stand, every person who
Is responsible for it will regret their
past before the year 1900. Let the lines
of the new boundaries be straight on
every side.
