profit to every one.

Tailor Made Novelties.

Plain skirts and Newmarket bodices are
characteristics Of some of the newest tailor
dresses. In the cut of these bodices there
is variety. Some OF them button at the
back, and yet show necktie and waist
coat. Some have double lappels. others
fasten with three buttons at the waist.
Drill wsistcoats continue to be worn. A
new make of cheviot tweed, with a rough
surface, but cool and Light, has the long
bodice cut with deep tabs, aud ornamented
with shaded bone buttons. The plain
skirt, cut without a wrinkle in front and
at the sides, has narrow hem, while tho
necessary amount Of fulness hangs in small
plaits at the back, peeping out from two
overlapping fat plaits.
Fancy brocaGe silk vestings are being
adapted to many of the summer tweed
costumes. A costume intended for wear
at the races and other day entertainments
is composed of a fine cloth, which is stone
shade, with very original design of pur-
pie orchids in purple velvet, outlined with
braid in a paler shade, shot with gold. The
design is carried round the skirt. where
tk6orchids rise up from the hem, and on
the cuffs and up the front OF the bodice.
The bodice front is quite plain, fastening
up the middle, the orchid design keins
skillfnlly divided, and then completely
joined when the hooks are fastened. The
basque is cut just over the hips, and edged
with gold and purple braid.

The South Dakota Hot Springs are

stories r told of the cures effected
by the frequent and liberal use of the
waters of the springs, and the fame
thereof is spreading throughout the
country, attracting the attention of
that class of invalids who ore blessed
with abundant wealth and intolerable
aches. The locality and its surround
ings are said to possess remarkable
scenic charms-the climate is unex-

world affords that can contribute to
physical comfort, is provided at reas-
enable cost. These are inducements to
pay the place a visit; but tho grand.

Hot Springs,

j. G. McManima, of Pierre, has been
making a tour of the Black Hills and
in his monthly magazine "The North.
western Progress" has this to say of
u tl%ourishing city:-"The next stop
was at this great health and pleasure
resort, (Hot Springs.) nestledi in among
the hills. The +. L. 6 NJ. V. railroad
is now and has been for months oper.
ting a branch road from Buffalo Gap
to Hot Springs, and the B. & NJ. will
have one in operation in a few days.
(The b. & NJ. has been running into
Hot Springs since July ~
The reputation of Hot Springs is not
local, but extends throughout the land,
and as the beauties of the location and
the health-giving properties of the
water become better known, people
will flock there by the thousands. The
curative properties of the medical
springs here are fully equal to those
of Hot Springs, Arkansas, as has been
~attested time and again. while the al
titude makes the atmospheric condi-
tions especially favorable for ,nvalids.
But it is not to the invalid alone that
this place is attractive, for the lover of
nature will find this one of the NEST
entlcing spots in the country. Bub-
bling springs, purllng brooks, spark
ling cascades in places almost arising
to the dignity of cataracts, lofty noun
tains, deep gorges, shady hooks, in fact
all the accessories of an ideal o
tain resort supplemented bv a prairie
table-land at one point to add variety
to the view. A word picture could
not do justice to the place, for it is a
succession Of agreeable surprises from
first to last. Though yet in its infan-
tcy, hundreds come to battle in the
health-givlng waters, to breathe the ex-
~hilerating atmosphere. and to feast the
eye on the prodigalities of nature.
There are many fine drives and walks,
the hotels arc first-class, and the SUR
roundings such as to enable the tour
list to spend weeks in constant enjoy
ment. While nature has done so much
for this place, the hand Of man has
not been staid. for natural parks have
been improved, drives have been con-
structed, elegant buildings have been
erected, bath houses have been built
and a city has been made. The Sol
diers' Home, a state institution, is To-
Gated here in a magnificent structure.
as is also the Black Hills College.
There is also located here in a beauti-
full nook, the BLACK Hills C~hautauoua
grounds, where al assembly is held
each year.
