tue Hounces either hemmed with a coarse
stitching OF the most marked color in the
gown or put on with a beading, through
which ribbon of that color is run.
Very cunning baby dresses are made with
puts at the top Of the sleeves. The mate
rial selected l. very fine, and the sleeve pufPs
are TIE only trimmings, II we except very
narrow edging at collar and cuffs. Again
the prevailing modes are seen in baby
dresses, for the collars of these are made as
nearly Medici as the shortneSs of aby's
neck will permit. They are high in the
back, and slope toward the front, and are
edged with tiny lace.
Beautiful baby closks and dres es fo-
children of OF years are found read -
made In the stores. China silk is a.favorite
material. and the make up is similar 10 that
seen upon the garments Of those older
grown. The little long coats cunnIngly
fastened with four buttons in front are
found, and the lace vests are rather long,
plain skirts. Again, the baby dresses are
made with short waists and full puffed
sleeves, the skirt being gathered on to make
a pilgrims skirt.
Evening gowns are not at the moment to
be seen In numbers, says the Sltn for TIE
season calls for no more dressmakIng and
for summer dances the days have not vet
come. A costume, which, in some particu-
lars, was as original as any seen within a
twelvemonth, was, however, sent home to a
young married woman a few days ago.
Cream colored silk cloth and wild rose crere
were the stuffs that entered into its compo-
sitlon, and an effect Of quaint and peculiar
dignity was given by the long, draped
oVerdress, which was caught up in front
and fastened at some distance below the
bend Of the waist by a clasp chased silver.
Straps of the cream -coiored fabric came
over the shoulders and lifted the rose-tinted
draperies. In the back the bodice described
folded fchu, confined at the waist by a
narrow cream-colored corseleG laced down
the middle The under dress was of cream
colored cloth, hemmed at the bottom with
embroidery of pearls and turquoise and
silver, which on the corselet bodice
was repeated with less elaboration. The
garments that are called NANTES d
mantelettes need more careful protec ton
from all exigencies of weather than do
dresses. Those that are shown in black net
wilt before a touch of damp as tlower', not
more fragile, fade in the sun. Many are
making their summer appearance IN shapes
that are altogether new, and most are brll~
liantly decorated, especially upon the back,
with jet and oolored glass embroideries.
Pale green ribbon is introduced upon one
novel example in long loops at the throat
and upon the shoulders, those being matched
by rosettes of the same color upon the
black jet bonnet with transparent crown.
Ten dollars apiece for osculatOry saluta-
tons seems rather steep, says Clara Belle in
the Enquirer, but such is the charge made,
or proposed to be made, in bill of par
ticulars which an indignant father stands
ready to present in case certain prominent

ices rendered. The facts are interesting.
and point a moral if they don't adOrn q
tale. This physician, like all prominent
New York practitioners, has a suit
OF rooms on the parlor floor,
one or more for reception rooms,
ane one-usually at the rear of the
house-for operating and consulting pur
poses,
When once this door is closed the patti emit
frequently young and pretty, is cut of
from her mother or friend in the reception
room. The physician may or may not con-
fine himself strictly to business. The
young girl is absolutely in hi
power, for she would not hes
itate an instant to swallow any liquid he
might pour out for her. A number of
scandals have occurred from time to time
in one case the physician was obliged tC
leave the city. But the case which ha:
lately come to light has nothing tragic abou
it; on the contrary, it is rather amusing.
The old doctor is lover of the sex, aud

A curious little scene took place the Other

certain phases of the American character
which are probably not to be found in any
other nationality.
