A Model Hotel.

A correspondent writing from Hot
Springs, Ark, says: The magniicence
of the hotels at once attestS the healthy
moral and social tone of the resident
people and the thousands who annually
visit here from every quarter of the
StateS-North and South, East and
West. For architectural beauty and
comfort of guests the Park Hotel, just
completed and opened to the public, 500
rooms, is the peer of the best hostelry
in the land, go where you will. Its in
terror arrangements are such as to COM
mand the highest admiration from an
appreciative sojourner in the City of
VapoTs for the promotion of health and
pleasure. The furnishings of this house
are simply gorgeous. also having one of
the finest and most complete bath
houses attached. The park of stately
forest trees, including the native pine;
the beautiful lawns and artistic gardens,
graveled walks fringed with ferns, rose
buds and a combination of lovely flow
ers of many varieties, all lend charm
of exquisite excellence of Southern ro-
nance, amid mountain scenery and
sparkling, crystal-running brooks, to the

FashionabIe Precious STONES.

Two varieties of precious stones have
grown rapidly more precious within
the last few months. One is the divine.
a green chrysoite, much i'll vogue for
the formation of lizard, scorpion and
bug brooches in general. Though the
value of each stone is comparatively
small, it is double what it was a year
ago, and, as it is often as beautiful in
color as an emerald, is bound to still in
crease. The turquoise, on the other
hand. was not cheap year ago, and is
getting to set an enormous price upon
itself. Mrs. Langtry's famous fetish
would probably fetch thousand dollars
more in the American market to-day
than it would have done had she offered
it for sale the day she became angry and
sailed for the paradoXical country that
she thinks is without peer and yet is
full of peers. The most ordinary little
turquoise that you would pop into the
head of 4 silver snake ring costs the

while as for fiawleSS one the size of
a good fat grain of rice, it can value
itself at any amount from $50 to 500, ac-
cOrding to the shade of blue.

The muff and hat are finished off with
tufts of ostrich feathers. This is quite
new. Short boas to be worn with these

bonnets and muffS, and very pretty is.
The fan-shaped fluted bonnets, edged
with feather trimming, have an osprey

Kate Greenaway Gowns.

Kate Greenaway gowns, with short
waist and long skirt, have just begun to
find favor with Parsians, but here are
relegated to tiny girls of two or three
years. and are never made so long as to
be clumsy and trip the little creatures as
they run or step upward. They are made
of India silks, challies or lawns, gath
cred to round waist that is scarcely
more than straight yoke meeting under
the armholeS, and have large pulled
sleeves. the trimming frill of the ma
terial or of lace falling from the high
neck and the elbows. Other English
dresses are smockS of four breadths of
china siIk-pale lemon color, pink or
white-lined throughout with cheese
cloth, widely shocked at the neck and
wrists. and with corner pieces of en-
broidery done on the turned-over collar.
There are also shocked dresses for
school wear may made of two breadths
of dark cashmere in one piece from the
throat down, shocked at neck and
wrists, and held at the waist by wide
belt of folds fastened by rosette.

est heads. Shot with silver that caught
the light and fairly daZZled the eye at
times, it was one of the most beautiful
of the many beautiful gowns seen at
that dance.
1t was made with a full, long court
train lined with white satin, over which
fell from the waist long RienZi bows IN
deep amethyst velvet. Bunches of
Parma violets were massed down the
front, caught with knots of velvet.
They looked so much like natural flow
erS that one could almost fancy faint
odor of dying violets was waited on the
warm air as Mrs. Beekman came near.
Straight bands of the violet ribbon
came from under the bodice to the edge
of the skirt.
The long, pointed corsage was edged
with silver cord and fitted exQuisitely.
1t was cut very low in the center, both
in the back and in the front, and high
on the shoulders. From the under-arm
seams came a soft, full piece of the
satin, drawn in graceful folds in the
center OF the waist, fastened there by
knot of the stuff, forming a low ely
trimming for the neck. Diamond orna-
ments gliStened here and there in 1t.
From the left shoulder hung a bunch of
violetS that passed under the arm.
The short, high-puffed sleeves were
of amethyst velvet to match the bows,
and were punched up high on top. A
few violets, caught down by diamond
| ornaments, nestled in her brown hair.
With it she wore pearl satin slippers,
with tiny ro5etteS of gauze streakedwith
silver. and long suede gloves of the
same color. with delicate tracery of
silver on their backs.
Mrs. GOelet appeared a few nights ago
at the opera in wonderfully beautiful
gown.
1t was of crepe de chine and chiffon
of that warm shade of pinkest velvet
seen in one of Corot'S sunsets and soft
est gray, the color of pale sky at
dawn. Violet crepe, embroidered in
the same color, formed the front of the
skirt. while pale crepe that hung in
clinging folds, composed the sides and
back. Bands of ribbon of dull mousse
green came from the right sides of the
train and fastened in three bows In
front.
The bodice was very short on the
hips, and came to a long point in the
front and in the back. 1t was cut eX-
tremely high on the shoulders from
which fell a little drapery of gray

A soft trimming of gray edged it all
around. forming the neck garniture,

A Fox Terriers Trick.

A little fox terrier belonging to Mrs.
Catharine Dearborn, of st. Patrick
street, Quebec, stole a lady's satchel
containing several checks for large
amounts and S12 in cash. The lady
in question had the misfortune
to; fall on the sidewalk on Grand
alley,and in doing so dropped her hand
satchel on to the ground. Before she
had time to pick it up again the thiev-
ing canine had got possession of it, and
in quicker time than it takes to tell it
had disappeared around a corner.
A pursuit was attempted, bnt to no
avail. The small animal and his
booty had gone out of sight. Nothing
more was heard of the stolen article
until Sergeant Kell was called into Mrs.
Dearborn's residence and handed the
satchel by that lady, who said her little
dog had brought it to her. 1t was re-
stored to the rightful owner. who gave
reward for its recovery to the dogs
master.

To Keep Flowers Fresh.

For keeping flowers in water finely
powdered charcoal, i'm which the stalks
can be stuck az the bottom OF the
vase, preserves them surprisingly and
renders the water free from any OBJ
noxious qualities.
When cut flowers have faded, either
by being worn a whole evening in ones
dress, oras bouquet, by cutting half
an inch from the end of the stem in
the morning and putting the freshly
trimmed end instantly into quite
boiling water, the petals may be seen
to become quite smooth and to resume
their beauty often in few minutes.
Colored flowers carnations. azalcas,
roses and geraniumsl may be treated
in this way. White flowers turn vel
low. The thickcst-textured flowers
amend the most, although azaleas re-
vive wonderfully.
We have seen flowers that have lain
the whole night on the table after hav-
ing been worn for hours which no
breakfast next morning were perfectly
renovated by means of a cupful OF hot
water.-Young Ladies' Fashion Bazaar.
