NEW PATTERNS IN SHOT SILKS.

The prettiest OF the new shot silks are
scattered over with chine flowers and tiny
garlands. These make ideal garden par
ty toilets. Crepe de chine also is figured
with exquistely tinted flowers as effective
as hand-planted clusters. Delicious
China silks are dotted with petit pois
spots in color, and dresses made of these
silks are trimmed with old point Alen-
con or draped with panniers and founces
of lace the color of the gay dot in the
silk. The lace also forms the deep Stu
art collar and transparent sleeves. An
elegant toilet worn at ball in the
mountains recently was made of cream
crepe de chine dotted with lilac, with
flounces of lilac silk lace festooned at
the foot of the sheath skirt, with all the
fullness plated in the middle of the back
and slightly trained to lie number of
inches on the floor. The almost seam
less bodice hooked invisibly on the left
side and was cut slightly open in the
throat and finished with turned-down
cape frill of lace that completely covered
the shoulders. A ruffle of the same lace
fell over the arms to the elbow, meeting
Suede gloves of pale cream color stitched
with lilac silk.

Milk in a Paper Bag.

A merry-hearted lad, who is often sent
on errands of household needs and neces-
sites, discovers new method of "bring-
ing home groceries and sich." "Here
are two pounds of chops, good scant
weight" said the grocer to the young
man of the family who had brought in
an order from his wife; ssnow for your
milk-where's your CAM The young
man OF the family protested that he
hadn't read the order, and had not been
equipped with can. ssNever mind, "
said the grocer; "here, hold on to it,"
and he dexterously slipped one paper
bag inside of another and tilliped the
corners into place. The two quarts of
milk were poured into the inner bag.
"The grease in the milk prevents its go
ing through the paper, as water would"
explained the grocer. "Ihad hard work
to get people to believe that they could
carry milk in bag at first, and let it go
at my own risk. I've sent it so half
mile by slow transit; still, I'd advise
you not to stop to tell long stories on the
way home. "-American Dairyman.

MAIDS IN LIVERY.

Almost as great movement is in pro-
gress in England, in the slow and con-
servative fashion of most movements over
,here, as is the dress reform crusade
which is gathering force for its concerted
effort on this side the Atlantic. 1t is the
abolition of elaborate livery for men SER
wants, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. For
generations the funky in padded calves,
powdered wig and silk small clothes has
been the correct adjunct to all well regu-
lated households of the upper class, and
his number in each household has been
in proportion to the Importance and
wealth of the family. And not only is
the gay livery going-the men them
selves are being put aside in favor of
women. Many good families have entire
ly given up employing men servants, and
have parlor and waiting maids in their
stead. These wear distinctive livery,
one lady putting her women in plain
gowns of gray, with red aprons, and
courier bags worn at the side; red caps
made like the white ones were also worn.
Another woman preserves the dark green
of her mems liveries for the maids, with
red caps and aprons. These are donned
after IL o'clock, when the heavier work
of the day, cleaning, etc., should be
over. For morning wear, black dresses
with white apron and caps are used

Bismarck's Gallantry.

In spite of his old age, Prince Bis
marck has lost none Of his gallantry. To
q young lady who lately asked to be al
lowed to kiss his hand, he replied, "Oh,
no! That is not good enough for SO
charming damsel!" Whersupon His
Excellency, without further ado, gave
the young lady kiss. The Prince is
very active in business matters when at
home on his estate. In his brick-kilns
at Friedrichsruho he is producing a new
kind of brick and tile. In place of his
saw mills, which were burned down not
long ago, he has erected new ones, which
are busily engaged in executing some
large orders for wood pavement. The
Princes income from his mills and other
industrial works is reported to be up
ward of $50, 600 year.-Neao York

AUTUMN soNo.

Fair Autumn stands by the maple-tree,
(Ahl but the Winter followsD
And drops the bright leaves down to me,
Or blows them away on the north-wind
free,
Across the meadow across the lea,
Over the hills and hollows.
The squirrel runs TO the chestnut tall,
(Hoi but the frost's cold fngersD
And ratt!ing down the ripe nuts fall.
But never squirrel shall have them all,
While the lads and lassies merrily call
Through fields where the aster fingers.
The witch-hazel waves her fringe of gold,
(Hark! to the winds a-sighingD
The hunters moon shines over the void,
The days grow short and the nights grow
cold,
And the weary year is getting old,
While the withered leaves are flying.

WOMEN WHO CAN WEAR BLUE.

The question of the becomingness of
blue is one that is continually arising.
Napoleon blue, grayish tint, is only
adapted to brunettes, and the peculiar
shade of blue which is sometimes called
sapphire, sometimes called robins egg,
sometimes electric blue, is also best suited
to ladies with dark hair and clear dark
compilations. These shades are very apt
to make blonde look colorless. A pure
blonde with clear eyes can always wear
baby blue in the evening, but if she
wishes the whiteness of her skin and the
blueness of her eyes and the yellow of
her hair to be brought out most effec-
lively she will choose rose color. All
the dark shades of blue are suited to
her, and she will be wisest if she chooses
them in preference to all other shades of
the color.-Latlies' Home Journal.

TO REVIVE THE cH1aNoN.

The chignon, that abomination which
it was believed had gone out once and
for ever, is to reassert its baleful sway if
the gossip of the fashionable hair-dressing
circles is to be believed. The ladies
have begun to talk of it, too, and before
long some of the advance guards of
Fashion-with capital F-may be seen
with the bunch stuck on at the back of
her head. thereby spelling its shape.
Bhe only scrap of comfort to be derived

Brobdingnagian proportions, but twill
be modified to suit individual heads. -

THE SEASONS BODICE.

The seasons bodice bids fair to be a
thing of variety and splendor, says a
fashion writer. Foremost in the ranks
Of novelty is the English corselet waist.
1t is aimed to make this conceit, the
corselet portion buttons or hooks over
loose blouse, as quaint and rich-looking
as possible. The endeavor succeeds so
well in some instances that it would seem
as though the corseet was copied from
some old portrait painted in the
medieval times. The idea is aptly illus
trated in freshly imported tea gown.
The corselet buckles, with rich, an
tique silver clasp over blouse of pale,
sea-foam green chiffon, and is itself made
of hunters green velvet, wrought Curl
ously with silver threads and encrusted
with cut stones, simulated emeralds,
pearls, and just sufficient rubies to lend
brilliant color. A favorite way of max
ing indoor bodices is to cut the material
on the cross and to fit it snugly to the
figure without single dart. The low
cut neck is ruffled generously with wide
lace that narrows and curves its graceful
way into the waist line. And what
lace season 1t is, all grades and patterns
are used in lavish profusion. A new
French lace called Lyons, showing rich
silk embroidery raised on stout net, is
winning admiration, and will be used
extensively on handsome cool weather
gowns. Jetted lace is the trimming, par
excellence, for black faille and lace toll
cts, and the winter bathrooms will be re-
splendent with laces, black and White,
powdered with glistening stuffs and
studded with tiny jewels. Quite novel,
and as expensive as it is new, is rich
cream white guipure, sprinkIed with cut
jet. This makes peculiarly striking
trimming for tea or reception dresses.
Fortunate owners of rich black Brussels
point are using it with great effect en-
white and pale-soned silk gowns. A mis-
take easily made and one that is lnvari-
ably frowned upon by the connoisseur,
is the misuse of lace, This usually oc-
ours by reason of too much generosity.
An over-abundance of lace on costume
cheapens it dly.-Detroit Free Press.

SUPERINTENDENT OF A COAL MINE.
Since the death of her husband, several
years ago, Mrs. Francis Woodring has
held the Office of superintendent OF coal
mine at Ashland, Penn. She employs
180 men and is liked by all of them. At
an carly hour in the morning she appears
at the head of the shaft, and she remains
there until the men have all gone to work.
She keeps a close supervision over the
propping of the mine and the air supply,
and is actively benevolent to the wives
and families of the miners. Not single
accident has occurred in the mine since
she has assumed charge of it Chicago

Queer Phrases.

Every nation has its own familiar
phrases, which sound very queer to
foreigner. We have great many that
seem very natural to us, because we have
known them since childhood, and other
countries similarly have expressions that
we would think funny, but which are
not in the least to them. The French,
for instance, say, "One of these four
mornings" when we would say, "One
of these days" Where we say, "One
can't do thousand things at once" the
French say, ''One can't accomplish
thirty-six things in BREATH" In China
a clustering coward is said TO be as
''harmless as paper tiger. ."-NeU Yora

FASHION NOTES.

Paniers will be seen more frequently.
The newest color in Paris is CHINA
mon.
The corselet bodice will be worn very
generally.
Old fashioned brilliantine collarettes
are in favor again.
There are many jet and chenille COM
bination frames on view.
Waists will be shorter, but not def
nitely short for some time.
Hats trimmed only with ribbon de-
mand generous quantity.
Among the novelties are jet bonnets,
chenille and ostrich frames.
Fancy stiff wings and birds are exten-
sively brought out by the importers.
Sleeves will remain full at the top and
will be drawn IN tight from the elbow.
Tho Louis coat will go out, and then
the short jacket resume its uninterrupted
popularity.
Hats will continue fiat, but will re-
strain their ambition within less expen-
sive brlms.
The widening of the skirt at the bottom
does not mean hoopskirts. At least not
yet awhile.
The hustle will be worn again and
very generally, but will be, for the pres
ent, of very modest size.
Those old olive green tints are not so
passe but that we may find them sprin-
killed. among the designs of the newest tea
gowns.
Ruches of green leaves are being intro
duced, and with them new kind of boa
called the moss boa, which is manufac-
tured of ribbon ends fringed.
Satin Innings of rich color are the
latest thing for travelling ulsters. The
three quarter length Eton ulster is lnade
with largo buttons and wide collar.
Broadcloth is being used for all varie-
ties of wraps. It is one of the special
ties of the season. Jackets are made of
it and faced with chiffon and laces and
sometimes there are surah sleeves.
Everybody is wearing it.
White wool gowns are popular and
promise to remain with us until the late
autumn. A favorite material for these
gowns is Bedford cord trimmed with
guipure lace. With these white gowns
is worn white hat, shoes, gloves and
parasol.
A fairy-like fabric which is favorite
material for garden party dresses is Brus.

SONS that look as if done by hand.
These dresses are mounted on silk and
are much trimmed With delicate rib
bons and lace.
Very graceful house dresses are made
| in princesse fashion and finished with
passementerie or silver chatelaine, or
glrdle, that encircles the hips and assists
in holding the slight but artistic folds
that break the too-straight effect of the
princesse gown proper.
Persian net, wide-meshed material,
which hangs exquisitely, is much used
for afternoon gowns. These gowns are
much worn In princess shape, and on a
very slight person grecque draperies are
added. Broad bands of velvet are used
for the bottom of these gowns.
The cheviot plaid keeps its place IN
metropolitan favor; the most elegant
designs are shown in popIin and silk.
Many plain materials are trimmed round
with bands of cheviot plaid. For women
Of MEDIUM height the plaid is very efec-
tive and gives tall appearance.

Now, in GUNNER is the storage time for
health, and girls need to be looked after
kindly to make the most Of their vaca-
tons for strength and beauty. Strange
we never think of strength as factor of
beauty, when it is the main one. Force
of the heart sends the blood freely
through all the fine capillaries of the
skin, so that waste and repair are carried
briskly on, with the result of clear,
brilliant complexion. A skin in good
working order throws off the hundred
frets and ails of duller systems, and its
reaction frees it from freckle, blotch and
pimple. The strong digestion uses what
is sent it to good purpose, and does
not make obstruction of its cereals or go
acrid over new potatoes and brown
gravy.
A girl with rich complexion will be
able to ride, walk, dance or work far bet
ter than pasty faced creature who has
hardly vitality enough to carry on her
internal economy. The beauty may not
be used to work, but the ability is there
to be developed, and all the better for
the preservation of her looks if she trains
it to use. Strength and nerve are the
foundations Of beauty. Shirley Dars.
