who was not ashamed to carry a baby.
"At the counter for infants outfits they
stopped, and this 'tyrant who had forgotten
his bair' was fitted with French cap, while
lndustriously selected a christening dress
for my godchild. Then the fat baby began
TO rub his sleepy eyes, and the little woman
said, with an as 'urance at which l, with my
knowledge OF young men, maryeled:
"'Jake him home now, Jack, please; HIS
getting sleepy. III come as soon as | have
finished my shopping
Exit Jack, carrying the baby"
A flannel petticoat is no longer a matter
OF simplicity. After having it trimmed
with lace AID ribbons it has been decided
that it is most effective when finished with
Nandyke, embroidered in silk, while the
skirt portion is covered from the lower
edge 20 the waist with white silk stars en-
broidered by hand. A travelling petticoat
is made of red and white striped alpaca,
finished with scant ruffles of red satin rib
bon about an eighth OF yard wide. There
are three OF these, and, as the ruffle Is
on the straight, the cord finish forms the
edging and does away with hem.
By waiting until the first rush OF the
season Is over, says the New York World,
one may often secure a very good bargain
in hats and bonnets. In the milliners'
windows the capotes, toques and fancy hats,
which were marked at from $40 to $50
early in the season, are now sold for from
| SO to S15
Untrimmed hats are even cheaper in pro-
portion, for those which are not sold already
are stacked in the showcases to be given
away for almost any price which the buyer
chooses to pay. BY judiciously selecting
hat of the correct shape, and one that is
| nearest like the fashionable prevailing
1OHa fhnF. Fr.fv,,
at the flower, feather or ribbon counters,
and taking all the purchases back to the
| milliner's to be trimmed. one can get very
| good hat at very reasonable price.
For example, suppose one goes into the
store and finds that a hat ready trimmed
| cost 81. BY inquiring further on il be-
| comes plain that the same hat minus the
| trimmings can be bought for 81 25; that
the lace, velvet and flowers can all be pur-
chased for "a, and that the cost of trims
ming is s. 25 This makes the cost of the
| hat thus obtained Sc so with the very same
result that would have been secured had the
woman spent 81 for the hat which she first
saw. From this lesson may be obtained
| for very many women who suppose that
| they must either buy a hat ready trimmed
OF trim one for themselves, the idea of
buying all the materials and then taking
them to milliner to be put together never
| having occurred TO them.
Sweet faced girls are particularly in
their element this summer, for the hats
| seem designed especially for them, and !,
moreover, these same hats are so very try
| ing to all the woman who are not sweet
| faced, that the pretty girls have the
monopoly of admiration.
The novel low-crowned sailor hat is going
to be the favorite for outing expeditions

flannel suit, with a big rolling Jack Tar
collar ana broad four-in-hand necktie, and
topped by one of these broad, low crowned
sailor hats. Mrs. Jack Tar or Miss Gill Tar

wishes to take with with him upon his
| catching or sailing expedition.
The deadly bonbonniere l call it such,
says Clara Belle in New York letter in the
| Cincinnati Enquirer for 1t merits the title
this pretty little silver box, with its
| quaint carvings or tracings, which the fash
| ionable woman draws from her pocket be-
tween acts, and from which she daintily
picks an apparently harmless bit OF candy.
| This pretty plaything, l say, is becoming
an object of dread to the married man and
| the watchful mother. 1t has long been an
| open secret that the bonbonnieres often con-
tain brandy drops; but who dared think
that antipyrine choral, arsenic, and even
| morphine, would ever make their way into
| It? Yet they have done so. The harmless
1
| ups" which the fashionable woman is thus
enabled to carry about with her TO the mat
inee, the race course, the ball match aud
the theater party.
At Morris Park yesterday afternoon an
elegantly dressed woman was seized with
| Mysteries, and was carried from the grand
stand to the parlors of the club house by her
husband, kindly aided by a male friend who
| happened to be OF the party. AS the little
| procession made its way along the passage
a very pretty silver bonbonniere dropped
from the lady's hand and rolled over toward
| a group of sympathetic lockers on, one Of
whom picked it up with the intention of re-
turning it after the races were over. With
genuine feminine curiosity he examined the
contents of the bonbonniere The secret
was out the cause Of the supposed Mysteries
was known, for, behold the harmless
| brown-coated chocolates were filed with
one of the most powerful intoxicants
| known. The lady had taken an overdose in
her anxiety TO secure an instantaneous eff
feet, and thus be enabled to get rid of her
megrims and bet her money intelligently.
| O, Temporal! o, TlOreS! You will ex-
claim, but | will not listen to one word
against my sex. Women are what men
make them. When nature made man she
filled him with wickedness, pressed down
and running over and it was the overflow
that fell to woman's share. l read the other
day that some miserable cynic has lately
said that a woman is a remnant in natures
haberdashery, and has consequently beer

gain COUNTER" was indignant, and cried
out: "I'l venture to say that that wretch
never had a sweetheart or wifei Or, il hs
had a sweetheart, she was some one elsei
wife; or, if he had a wife she was some
one else's sweetheart"
The summer girls parasol, saws the New
York sun, is meant incidentally to KEEP
off the sun, but more essentially it is to cast
becoming light on her face, to give pretty
background to her head, and to protect hel
young man from curious observation. 1t i!
also intended for the summer girls young
man to run around after, and for him *
carry, either shut or open, and for him *
dig holes in the sand with when it is shut
and when she is not digging holes with il
herself 1t is for him to steal the ribbon of
and to lose that he may buy her another
and to write his name on the stick. OF
course summer girl has more than one
young man, so she has great many
names cut or written on the
handle of her parasol, and
she has lot of extra bows for it, Some
tir1es the summer girl let's her young man
give his. cane for a handle to put on her
parasol. She preten Is that he insisted. and
other girls are mad about it; and the young
man wonders why he was such fool, and
how she ever wheedled him into it. Their
the summer girl can have the handle taken
off when she gets home, and can have il
