These vest fronts and falls of lace and
Grape are pretty in themselves and love-
" on a woman over a somber OF faded
dress. The top one is of null shirred to
fasten at the belt and pulled around the
neck on a foundation of lace. A half
yard Of black lace of any kind that is
twelve to fifteen inches deep makes the
fall.
Those on the right and left need little
description. They are made Of silk null
or crepe de chine, as preferred, and bor-
dered with lace. A bow Of ribbon
makes them little more dressy. Other
vests can be made entirely Of Grape,
null, or thin China silk. The collar laid
in bias plaits or gathered in puifs, and a
jabot. knife plated. or bias and gath
cred full, can be sewn along the center
of the front. Bows Of ribbon to fasten
at the throat, with q jabot Of lace, are
also pretty and are frequently seen.
The corset waist is a great favorite
with young persons, and a novel and
very dainty manner Of making one is to
have the foundation of some rich colored
or iridescent silk, and sew outside Of
this a complete covering Of point de gene
lace, and a frill of the same around the
bottom is an addition. Shoulder straps
are made Of silk or of velvet.
The two sleeves show manners in
which one can make an old style sleeve
fashionable with very little trouble
Lace is even prettier and more graceful
than the dress material, no matter what
it is. The sleeve with the narrow feath-
er trimming gives a Russian effect by
being open on the upper arm.
The hats and bonnets are prettier than
ever, it seems to me, and there is scarce
" one into which lace does not enter as
a component part. Lace has a soften
ing effect that nothing else has. and
when it is double twisted, as now, with
the loveliest flowers that grow and the
prettiest straw that was ever braided it
becomes a thing Of beauty. though a
JOY only until the next season.
One pretty hat for a young lady is in
the toreador style, with an upright row
Of gold and black lace, with n bow Of
golden brown ribbon sustaining a couple
Of stiff tulips. Others have one single
American Beauty rose, with long, stiff
stem, and no buds and little foliage.
Chrysanthemums or orchids are seen on
others-large single flowers.
Evening journal., 1892-08-04

Another dainty hat becoming to any
one is of bent straw, with full ruffie Of
point de Zene lace, and apple green
bows uphold bunch of lilacs. A pam
cake lace straw is lined with black lace
which extends beyond the edge of the
straw. In front is a butterfly bow of
black lace and at the back bow of lace
and bunch of blue gentians Stream
ers Of black ribbon.
Another pancake was black lace over
straw, with bow lying fiat upon the
edge Of the ribbon and with an up.
right bow Of black ribbon, lace and
golden wheat ears. These hats are all
for the most dressy occasions for young
ladies. The bow that is illustrated
shows how one can be made. Such a
bow set on the side of hat or on the
back is sufficient trimming.

THE clTYs MONEY.
Councilmen Hear Bank Presidents Dis
cuss the Benson Proposition.


cuss the Benson Proposition.
The Committee Of the Whole of City
Council met last evening to consider the
plan for depositing city money The
plan was formally submitted to Coun-
ell last Thursday. President Benson was
absent last evening and the committee
did not act. Councilman Thomas. of the
Fifth ward, presided lie invited the
bank pen to expound their ideas TO the
members present.
Central National Bank, said that the
proposition met with his approval. He
thought It more just and equitable TO
the depository banks. Last year the
Central bank received $23 $50. on
August 10. OF this sum $4,000 was
drawn ON October and $4,000 on
November 10. This only left $3.50 He
claimed that the customers Of all other
banks suffered because the funds were
tied up in the active banks. In order TO
relieve the strain caused by the collection
of the large amount represented by the
assessment it should be distributed i'm
mediately to the people through the var
ious banks He favored making each OF
the national banks an active bank In turn.
as the continued business with one bank
gives undue prestige to the bank aud
proves TO be hurtful to the other banks
In answer to a question asked as TO
how much money had been drawn from
the banks to pay taxes, he said that his
cashier had told him that the deposits
were $40. 700 short In conclusion the
president Of the Central Bank said that
that institution would, as an active
bank, pay per cent on the deposit.
President Edward Belts, Of the First
! National Bank, informed the Council
men, that the deposits had run down
/ $40, 600 on account of the payment OF
taxes He said it would willingly become
an active bank and pay per cent, on the
deposit. The committee then adjourned.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The glory Of
summer in fashion has departed AL
ready the summer gowns begin to look
as if the heat had affected them. and
now is the time that the wise maid and
matron should bring forth the airy
trihes that look SO fresh and pretty that
they distract the attention from the
gown to themselves, and the masculine
eye delights to look upon the delicate
and dainty things and wonder how it is
that it was given to womankind to looh
so cool in such sweltering weather.

Calendars are more certain TO fly at this
season than snow itself. The cropis always
large, but the individuals generally lack
utility. One of the very best we ever see
comes from N. w. Aver & Son, newspaper
advertising agents, Philadelphia. 1t is the
red ear of tie crop. 1t looks aud talks bust
ness. Its size is generous, its figures very
plain, while it is printed 50 handsomely as
to make one willing to keep company with
it the entire year. Like the other pros
auctions Of the firm, this bears their famous
phrase: Keeping everlastingly at it
brings success text which they both
preach and exemplify. The calendar is
sent by them, postpaid, for 25 cents, and
what is again unusual in such cases, it is SO
packed as to pass through the mails I'M

mark, who has been president of the Bank
Of Quitman since its organization two years
ago, has handed in his resignation to the
board of directors. This step on his part
was entirely unexpected and took the
directors completely by surprise. His resig-
nation is to take effect Feb. l, or not later
than Feb. 8, when new directors and oficers
are TO be chosen. Mr.. Denmark is to move
to Valdosta, where he will practice his pro-
fession, the law. His sole reason for sever
ing his connection with the bank and
leaving Quitman, is that he Is offered in
ducements at Valdosta that will be to his
personal benefit. He leaves the Bank of
Quitmau in splendid condition, more
fiourishing and prosperous than at any time
in its history. Quitman will part with Mr..
Denmark with deep regret. AS man. as
a lawyer and as the head of the largest
financial institution in the city, he has won
and held the esteem and confidence Of all
The news OF his leaving Quitman was un-
known until published in the Free Press
this afternoon, and it called forth express
sions of universal regret.
John HERS Of the Quitman police force
has resigned pending On investigation of
charges Of gross neglect OF duty. B. G..

decided to increase the force and elected
