ly in the sanctity of her own apartment.
The tea gown proper is, in its way, as
elegant as dinner gown, rich in mate
rial, costly in decoration, carefully fitted,
and exquisitely combined as to colors;
1t is supposed to be worn at the twilight
hour in the fragrance Of the steaming
cup that cheers when parlors are bright
with lady visitors, when men drop in in
formally and are at their brightest and
best, when the lights glow family
through roseate shades over dainty SER
vice and delicate china, and fair woman
Is fairest and most irresistible. Stiff,

even than those seen last year, and
while loose in front are fitted smoothly
in the back and at the side in Princess
fashion. One gown in golden bronze
bengaline, with generous train, has a
front OF lemon surrah, wrought with
gold, and bordered with bronze velvet
ribbon. 1t hangs very straight and
smooth in front, and has train of con-
siderable length. Full bengaline sleeves
! are pulled to the elbow, and fall over
deep gold cuffs, and high collar faced
with lemon color rolls back from gold
neckband. Another gown, in an un-
common and beautiful shade of green,
has a loose front of cream China silk,
embroidered at the bottom and laced
down with Swiss girdle of black vel
vet. Point de Venise sleeves and deep
collar finish the dress, which is very
stylish and pretty in every way. You
can't go wrong If you duplicate it.
Still more elaborate and less sugges'

WINTER MILLINERY.
Great Variety Displayed in the Latest
Fashions.

Fashions.
The cosmopolitan character of the
new winter bonnets and hats is quite a
study. Seldom If ever has greater
choice been afforded. In other times
one or two models prevailed, and owners
of faces either round, square, oblong,
short slender or rotund had each and
all to accommodate these few shapes to
their requirements; with what results
it would be difficult to imagine, had
there not been very long and decided
demonstration period, in which the dis
advantages of such conservatism in mil
linery became apparent Hats and bon
nets are now made in every conceivable
shape and STYLE and whatever best suits
the face and features can be adopted
with the very satisfactory knowledge
that it is as strictly fashionable as an
other woman's head-gear, though the
model chosen be but a simple cloth
toque, felt sailor hat fitting the head
comfortably and faulty, and almost de-
void of trimming; and the other have an
immense halo-brim, and be laden with
plumes and ornaments. The Henri
Deux hat with soft full crown is no more
popular than the English walking hat
with it's close arched brim; and the
picture" hat, in all its Partisan glory,
is displayed side by side with the
Quaker-like gray felt model with ample
brim and plain severe band, and soft
neutral nlumos A nd so on through the
wondrous array.-N. Y. Evening Post

The late Laurence Oilphant was ac-
customed to remark that of all the
sins that burdoned his conscience and
weighed ON his most eccentric mind the
most grievous in his own eyes was that
of having "invented" M. de Blowitz.
The latter was drifting about in Paris
after the Franco-German war, when he
happened to catch the eye Of Mr.. Oil
plant, at that time French correspond
emit of the London Times, and who was
forever on the lookout for queer char
acters. Although 1t was-and for the
matter of that, still is-beyond the
power of M. de Blowitz to either write
or even speak English, yet he succeeded
in getting himself appointed first as
assistant and then as successor to Mr..
Oliphant.
or Semitic birth, the Asiatic strain
in his blood is manifested by truly
Oriental talent for the most delicate
and supremacy artistic embroidery-of
facts, even when the ground work is OF
the thinnest and flimsiest texture. II
is this art in peculiar combination with
an almost unparalleled degree of cosmo-
politanism that has raised him to the
pinnacle of the profession of newspaper
correspondents. His knowledge of men
and things is unrivaled, and as his con-
science and principles are of the most
delightfully."- elastic nature. it is but
seldom that he is hampered thereby in
imparting to the world both what he
knows and what he invents Both,
however, are so artistically blended
that it is impossible to discover where
one ends and the other begins. IN. Y.

Of the civilized persons who have lived
in the world have gone down to their
graves under the impression that they
had utterly and entirely mistaken their
vocations.
just as the man who, after selecting q
seat in car with forethought and de-
liberation, finds that after all, he has
made mistake and that the seat oppos-
tie is the one he should have chosen, so
men discover that their talents run in any
other groove rather than the one
they have selected or into which tho
force of circumstances has driven them.
The soldier feels that his name would

that if only he had escaped the petty
drudgery Of the legal profession he
would have achieved grand success

Who Whistles Like a Man.
One of a party recently returned from
tour in the Olympic Noun ains gives
the following account of some strange
animals discovered thore:
One night we camped near Sentinel
Rock, about mile from the divide.
This rock stands boldly out alone, like
massive fortress, guarding the en-.
trance to the valley Of the Dungeness
Suddenly the mountain sides seemed
to be alive with men whistling to one
another, when-and one would turn
sharp around only to hear another and
a shriller whew on the other side; and
soon we saw lots Of animals, about the
size OF fox, with long, bushy tails, run
ming about from rock to rock, sometimes
lying down, but more often sitting bolt
up, erect, like ferret does. We shot a
couple OF small ones that night and
afterwards shot several more larger ones.
Campbell called them whistling dogs,
and declared they were good to eat; but
the smell was enough for us. Their odor
is peculiar, but not fragrant. They have
two long teeth in front like a beaver
and feet almost shaped like squirrels
feet. l believe their right name is
mountain beaver. VIII erever we went
afterward to the mountains as long as
there was grass we saw these whistling
dogs, as we got to call them. like to
see them; they seemed to make the
place cheerful and lively, and were very
amusing to watch. In winter they have
long burrows under the snow, and their
coats get dark gray; in summer they
are yellow. Their skins should make
good fur, and think would pay for be-
ing trapped in winter months.-What-
