The first season that Mrs. Langtry,
the Jersey Lily, spent in London,
found her the possessor of one even
ing gown, and that very simple
black. Immediately after her picture
appeared she became the rage, and
duchesses themselves did not hesitate
to stand on chairs to get a glimpse of
her as she passed.
Everywhere she wore the black
gown. One night ii was turned in SO
that her beautiful throat showed; an
other night it was drawn up close TO
her neck, and a bunch of whito lilies
against it brought out its blackness
and her fairness. IL was memded, il
was pressed, but at reception or ball
all that season the beautiful woman
wore the black gown. Later on,
when evening dresses wero very or
binary things to her, she said most
positively:
"Never tell me that a woman can't
dress well who has single frock. |

FASHION NOTES.

Emerald tinted writing paper is the
latest fad in society.
The newest fancy in blouses is TO
have them accordion plated
Parasols with rose colored lining
are most fiattering to the complexion.
The corset skirts are almost too COM
mon now to be worn by fashionable
women.
Physical reality and genuincness of
the women of the period is to be
doubted.
White gauze, satin striped, run
with tinscl thread, makes lovely
evening dress.
Tie newest close skirt is known as
the "cornet skirt" and is the most at
tractiye yet designed.
Finger rings are worn more than
ever. The fad seems to be to crowd
as many on one finger as is possible.
Fancy lace straw hats are very pop-
ular, and often the crowns arc re-
moved aud clusters of flowers substi-
tuted.
Whoever penned the item that
bangles are going out Of fashion could
not have gained the impression from
observation.
Velvet sleeves TO dresses of some
other material are obsolete. The cup
stairs" girls killed the fashion before
summer came.
TO enhance tho now coveted
"bronze" complexion, Flora Nc
Flimsy is seen most frequently wear
ing brown veil.
Eton, hussar and toreadors in black,
beige, gray or white are fashionably
worn with gowns and blouses of any
other color or material. They arc al
ways prcttily lined.
A new fabric for embroidery, which
will be fashionable in tho autumn, is
soft cloth with leather finish. 1t

Black and white check goods are
used for street and travelling gowns.
Many of these suits, aud, indeed, suits
of all the street woods, arc made with

Gambling In Japan.

An extraordinary triul, known as
the Judicial gambling case, has just
come TO an aborive conclusion at
Toxic. What lent unusual interest TO
the case was the fact that the defend
ants accused of illegal gambling were
10 minor personages, but the Prcsi-
dent and the six Judges of the SUI
prcme Court. The alleged offence
with which they were charged COIL
sisted in playing cards in u tea house
With some of The dancing girls of the
capital for partners. Owing to the
high position of the accused and the
fondncss of tho Japanese for euphem-
isms, the case was known in polite
circles as the Glover play NATTER"
because the game of cards in which
the Judges are supposed to have been
indulging was the japanese game of
"hana-awase," or "fower- matching,"
so called because the cards bear re-
presentations of various kinds Of
flowers, which have to he brought into
couples by tie players.
Owing to the grave scandal occa-
stoned by such charges being pre-
ferred against the very administrators
and interpreters of the law, strenuous
eilvrts were made TO hush the matter
up, but the accused judges, especially
Judge kpjima ken, the President Of
the Supreme Court, declared their re-
solve to have the whole matter thor
ouglly sifted. The most eminent
counsel on The Japanese Bar were re-
tanned, and special tribunal, called
an Admonition Tribunal, was opened
In tho Administrative Court for tho
purpose of conducting the nvcstiga-
lion. Tho inquiry, which was con-
Quoted with closed doors, has resulted
in the Court pronouucing the defend
ants TO be beyond the reach of prose-
culion.
As an instance of the extraordinary
excitement calscd by tho whole affair,
it may bo mentioned that the recent
resignation by Viscoant Tanaka, of
the Ministry of Justice, was rumored
TO be in consequence of the ex-Minis-
ter considering the occurrence of such
a seandalous incident during his
tenure of The portfolio of Justice too
disgraccfu to be consistent with his
remaining in Office.

NOVEL KNlrrINo-RAn.

Nothing makes better kmitling-bag
than one of the straw sleeve pro eclors
worn by butchers. They may be first
embroidered either with bit Of dog
gcrcl or any other simple design, and
then slipped over long, loose bag Of
colorcd silk and sewn firmly in place.
A round piece of pnsteboard about the
size of silver dollar is covered with
the silk and tackled to the bottom of
the bag TO prevent the needles from
passing through the silk. and the top
is drawn together with ribbon which
has a safety pin affixed to the bow 10
attach it TO the waist when in use.
This makes a particularly good bag
