The modes for making up the new cotton
stuifs are quite as lovely and artistic as the
fabrics themselves, SAYS the New York Re-
corder. They are dainty and summery and
chic. The grapes and lawns and dimities
and muslins are the prettiest things that the

are recsived and appear In exquisite designs
and textures.
The newest things are the cotton crepons
that come in innumerable styles and
weights and are exceedingly graceful and
artistic to make up. There is such be-

and fetching that it is most puzzling task
TO choose among them.
A pretty frock Of crepon that ] saw the
other day was very fine in texture, and of
pure white, with hair lines of baby blue an
eighth of an inch apart running through it,
1t was fashioned with a full skirt aud short

bretelles Of ribbon over the shoulders, meet

cascades OF lace being set on and hanging
full over the bust between the front bre-
telles. Very large sleeves were confined by
wrists trimmed with ribbon, and having
frills OF lace for finish. The collar was a
mere band Of ribbon. giving very neat
and demure appearance TO the throat.

agreeable women it is fairly impossible to
institute lines Of comparison. How women

respect-grown 80 much more delightful,

Certainly not for each other" answered
the first speaker. II remember a dozen
years ago, when 1t was high and rare praise
to say OF one OF our sex She is az agreeable
to women as she is TO men, All the little
destinations of manner and scintillations of
wit and wisdom used to be saved for the
mixed companies, and g. womens gather

A travelling man, says the Michigan
TrddeSnldn, who was also the head of a
prosperous firm promised his newly welded
wife that he would give her dollar every
time he kissed her, and in that way she
could save plenty Of money. Things went
on in this way for several years, and, as he
made plenty of money, he faithfully kept
his promise. Finally reverses came, and the

his wife and told her all. She, however, did
not seem to feel worried, and he was some

wife became alarmed, and she asked
