What Stylish Women VIII Wear Duril
the Coming Season.

] What Stylish Women VIII Wear During
/ the Coming Season.
Light eolors are still in great favor.
AID black Is gaining prominence in con.
srast
Gray is to be well worn this winter In
combination with soft yellow and gold
braid
The newest and most unique idea of q
dressing gown is monks robe with a
knotted rope girdle.
Mechlin lace is used for trimming
costly lingerie, to which its fine delicate
mesh is well adapted.
All women wear tightly clinging
gowns and bodices that mould the fig
ure. Few women look we'll in them.
New lace-trimmed handkerchiefs have
qaarter-inch hens and are edged with
inch-wide Valenciennes lace.
Cotton and muslin balayeuses are to
be replaced by silk or a thick colored
zephyr embroidered in white.
Turquoise and jet is the latest fash
ionable combination. Bodices and the
fronts Of skirts are frequently embroi-
dered with them.
Among the most popular wedding
presents are vinaigrettes, with large,
dull gold tops, bearing the brides mon
ogram set in diamonds and rubies.
Wooden muslins are taking the place
of the organdies. Some resemble Not
tingham lace, others are striped or
plaided. All are stylish and durable.
The new mako of shirt is more lady
like than the stiff mannish front and is
arranged all over with small inch-wide
.1oi4 I ,;.AI !,
belt
Corselets are made in Swiss belt
fashion, with slight points below the
waist and much longer points rising on
the chest in front and between the
shoulders in the back.
Cairo embroideries are novel and
beautiful, and promise to be largely
used on winter dresses, on vests, cuffs,
pockets, and senorita jackets. The
gold and silver boleros already in use
are most effective. The workers as
we'll as the wares are to be imported to
England.
1t is prophesied by the seers that
long gold chains are coming in again.
The new ones are set with pearls by
way of variety, and a certain great
Duchess has set the seal of popularity
upon them by appearing in one, which
many of the fashionable women in Lon
don are hurriedly copying.
Soft twill silk pettiooats In deep red,
scarlet, or old pink, OF any preferred
color, are made with FIVE bias ruffles
pinked out on each edge and gathered
full. These petticOats are very light in
weight, and have superseded lace
trimmed China silk skirts for both
house and street wear.
New pocket handkerchiefs are en-
broidered in flowers Ia their natural
colors, and each of the owners initials
are wrought in differCnt colors Very
Frenchy indeed are those of sheer white
linen, edged with deep real lace in
black and with black lace butterflies or
bees appliqued on the linen.-N. Y, Sun.

Echoes FrOmAe Fire.

The burnt distrlok1s&s such a fire
hole. with Jtba-nsurance rate running
from three to six per cent, and many
of the best companies refusing at any
price, that some of the occupants
were caught without any insurance,
and suffered a total loss. To these the
HERALD extends its sympathies. But
viewed from a general and public
standpoint the fire is, or can be made,
a blessing. The Brown block was
too old aud little; besides it was built
without any fire walls, and was reg
ular fire trap; the wonder is it stood so
long. The negro tenement houses to
the rear, were pest houses for immOr-
ality aud a menace to adjoining prop
erty. In the burnt district there were
five saloons; this was about five too
many, and the hope. is that better
business will take their places.

Some talk of asking the County

HERALD inclines to the opinion that

which the county already owns, is a
better site for new Court House.

On last Friday evening at the hospi-
table residence of T. A. White the
young men of this community gave one
which they have become so proverbial.
1t is useless to say that it was pleasant
or that it was enjoyable, for 1t would
be contrary to the course of natural
events to find the young of Bigbyville
contributing to anything OF that kind
and not making it pleasant. Our young
men, surrounded as they were by some
of the most fascinating and beautiful
young ladies of this and other commu-

THE Nashville Herald, of last Mon
day contains the following good ad-
vice: ave will give this pointer to
the country newspapers. Don't let
up in the fight for the passage Of q
good road law, law simple in con-
struction and easy of comprehension
and enforcement. The country mem
bers have the power to pass such a
law, and will do it if their constitu-
ents insist upon it. The country
papers are the best opponents of the
wishes Of these constituents.

NASHVlLLB'O PRIDE.

Mr. EDITOR:-Have you been t.
Nashville lately? If you have, you
have no doubt seen the Great New
Store. Truly the march Of progress
is wonderful.
Who would have thought few
years ago that there would be estab-
Iished in the South such a CONNER
cial house as that Of the CoNNEBL-
HALL-MCLESTER Co, of Nashville?
To lady going to Nashville, this
concern is blessing indeed.
She can get off the cars at the Union
Depot, take . hack or stree car aud
go at once to the door Of this great
store, where coy reception-room
with dressing-roOm and toilet-room
are at her service. Her baggage and
bundles may be checked, and she can
then go wherever she may choose
gbout the house or the city, without
being encountered with luggage. II
the weather is bad, and IA lady goes
to the city only to shop, she need not
leave the great store ut all.
Every sort of goods in the greatest
variety is kept in the house, aud at
one price, everything being marked
in plan figures; and there she can

a ROYAL FEAST.

There are entertainments and enter
tainments, but that which it was our
privilege to attend Christmas Eve sur
passes anything we ever enjoyed, Mr..
Geo. l.. Tn Omas has for years enter
tanned the Choristers of st. Peter
Church on the eve before Christmas,
after the usual carol singing around
own. Owing to the inclemency OF the
weather this year, but few houses were
visited. On returning to Mr.. Thomas
residence some of us were lost in admi-
ration of the many rare and beautiful
objects to be seen in the parlOr, which
was like visit to Wonderland. Soon
we were INVITED to the dining-room,
and we were forced TO linger on the
threshold as the dazzling scene within
burst Ion our vision. The immense
round table ten feet in diameter had a
centre piece of a miniature lake DOrdereQ
by the rarest OF ttowersi upon IT'S pIaclu
surface swans were lazily Heating as if
in full enjoyment. of the scene. The ap-
pointments of the table battle desorlp-
ton and the menu could not be ad-
equately described by words. En-
sconced in beds of flowers and on and
over the festal board, hundreds OF va
ried cOlored lights shed their soft glow
around. In the centre of another table
a Veritable fountain played and spark
led in the rays of light. The highest
art of NaShVille'S most famous caterer
had been called into requisitiOn for the
z
riage bell. Mr., Thomas and his estim-
able yife left nothing undone which
could minister to the enjoyment OF their
guests. After the feast of good things,
music was enjoyed, and with fair wO-
men beaming upon US, delightful music
filling our enchanted ears, and the per-
fume of flowers floating in the air, 1t is
no wonder that some of us lost our
hearts completely. Miss Emma Davis
