FASHION NOTES.

Chrysanthemums are the fashionable
flower.
No fur nowadays is too costly or too
Insignificant to be neglected.
Leather is much used for combining
with the material of costumes.
Cowslip yellow satin makes very
beautiful evening toilet, as under electric
or gaslight it turns to pale, charming,
shining gold.
A pretty and stylish dress trimming is
made of narrow, fancy braids applied in
straight rows, in Vandyke points or in
waved lines.
A novelty in trimmings is a messy
chenille garniture that is quite as pretty
and becoming as feather trimming and
not nearly so costly.
For combination gowns and entire
dress the rough surfaced bourette woods
and those with the silky pile of the
fleece of the Thibet goat rival the IA
miliar serges, tweeds and cheviots.
Very pale gray gloves are worn with
entire white costumes. The effect is q
little odd, inasmuch as the hands look a
shade darker than does the upper part of
the arm, and constantly nave what might
be called dusty look.
The fashion for bow knots in wall
decorations has spread. 1t has reached
the trimmings for ladies' costumes, and
has now begun to bloom forth in jewel
ry. Bow knot pins, buckles, clasps,
combs, handles and in all kinds of knick-
knacks are to be seen in the jewellers
windows.
By recently expressed law of the Or
acle, the shoes which, as every one knows,
must match evening and home dresses
are made of patent leather dyed by some
new process to the desired tint. The
variety of coloring is great, aud is rem
dered more diverse still by combination
of two or even more colors in the same
shoe.
Many gowns Of heavy cloth are still
lightened by emitting the foundation
skirt, and are worn over separate petit
coat, sometimes of fine mohair, but u.s.
ually of Taffeta silk. Collars both high
and low are worn, and the haring model
is popular that extends low on the
chest, with plastron of some rich tex
tile inside, and also an inner collar.
Bright red cloth of the new taureau
shade is used in gay gowns for very
young women. The newest fancy is to
make a shirred bodice of sleek black
plush with large sleeves and bell skirt
of the brilliant. red cloth. The black
bodice, fastened invisibly on the left
side, has many rows of shirring in round
yoke shape below the collar, and four
or five rows around the waist. 4 frill
falling below the shirrs Of the waist is
only four or five inches deep when
doubled.

POPULARITY OF BLACK.

1t is an interesting and anomalous fact
that as black becomes more disliked and
discarded for mourning wear the love of
it for ordinary dress, particularly among
young people, becomes more pronounced.
A few years ago any one wearing black
at wedding would have been regarded
as bird of ill omen, but the present
Lady Dudley, at her wedding, in daring
disregard of old-time superstitions, sur
rounded herself with bridesmaids wear
ing nodding funeral plumes on their big
black Tuscan straw hats aud drove away
in travelling gown of gray, whose
"points, if one may be allowed the
term, were black. Since every one must
wear the sombre color let fair women
hereby know that they will look younger
and fairer in dead, lustreless materials
like wool or velvet, while brunettes re-
quire the sheen of satin or gloss of silk
to wear black to advantage.
Every one must remember, too, that
cheap black is an abomination in the
eyes of men and a vexation to the soul
of women. 1t will not wear and does not
pay. Another thought in this connec-
ton. The black hat is to be supplemented
with cream veil of sprigged lace, which
will be distractingly becoming to bru-
nette beauty. Swagger girls are going
without candy now for the sake of hav-
ing the genuine point d'Alencon yelling,
but only connoisseur could distinguish
tho diffaropoa hatween the real thinr
and the Brussels net imitation. So firm
a hold have these wells taken on the other
side that woman inquirlng in small
Brussels shop for black veil was told
loftily "that black veil was now so
demode that Madame must try else where
if she would procure one. Mao York

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
10 FARM AND GARDEN.
LEAVES IN FORESTS.

To 60 into forests and remove the
fallen leaves for bedding for stock, or to
rot down for manure, is often advised,
but it is the surest way to make the trees
unthrifty if not to destroy them. Where
the trees are close enough to keep the
wind from blowing Though them fallen
leaves cover the ground pretty evenly.
The roots of trees thus annually mulched
come near the surface, but the covering
of leaves protects them from freezing
The leaves are Of themselves worth so
little to rot down as manure that it does
not pay to gather them except when bed
ding is scarce.--Boston Cu1tjgator.

A MATTER OF MUD.

Aftcra heavy rain when carriage roads
are covered with two or three inches
Cmorc or Less of partly liquid mud, a
buggy may be driven for miles with such
care IS to receive very little of it except
what adaeres to the rims OF the Wheels
Or a mud pool extending the whole
breath OF the road may have to 1e passed
and would spoil the new varnish of the
vehicle unless the driver has learned BY
trial how fast he must drive for the
occasion. We have seen careful driving
over 4 certain road with scarcely any de-
!acement, and again needless driving
over the same line with formidable
damage. If the horse is driven on a
walk or about three miles an hour the
mud will adhere to the rim of the wheels
and be carried up by them as they revolve.
Its weight will cause it to drop on the
Spokes and hub, and these in a short
time will be covered with it in one aI-
herring mass. But drive little faster,
on a slow or moderate trot, four and a
half or five miles an hour, and then the
mud which is carried up on the rim Of
the wheels WillnOt drop, for the increased
circular motion now given to them will
impart enough centrifugal force to hold
mud to the wheel. The rim is the only
part that will be muddy. The spokes and
hub will be clear The writer has sue
cessfully pract;ced this course more than
fifty years. But if the horse is driven
six or seven miles an hour this increased
velocity will send the mud off and all parts
CT the vehicle will receive a copious
pIastering. At aspeed OF eight or nine
miles it will be shot as high as the top of
the cover and the driver will be liable
to receive It liberal share. - Country

Ducks are growing in popularity

REMARKABLE WAY TO CATCH HUSBAND

Last winter the Sunday Times, of
Memphis, Tenn, offered prize of $40
to the young woman who should write
the best letter or essay on "The Model
Husband" Miss Lillian B. Perry, of
Covington, thirty miles north of that
city, won the prize.
The letter was copied in the Indianap.
oils Tribune, where Fremont Reed, a
banker and rich business man of that
city, saw it. He much admired the
beautiful sentiment. Going to New York
he came across the letter reprinted in one
of the metropolitan journals. Reaching
Chicago on his return he read the prize
letter in Chicago paper. BY this time
he felt sure that his fate was interviewer
with that of the fair unknown essayist.
Mr.. Reed wrote to her asking to be
allowed to correspond. She answered
no letters of this kind, having received
many. Mr.. Reed was persistent and
wrote second letter and inclosed en-
dorsements, and Miss Perry then con-
sented to correspond with her unknown
admirer. Later Mr.. Reed visited her.
A second visit ended in promise to be
his wife. The other day he arrived in
Memphis, and in the afternoon they were
married at the brides home. Mr.. Reed
is thirty five years old, and handsome.
The bride Is typical Southern beauty,
the daughter of a once wealthy family
impoverished by the war, and is young
woman of rare accomplishments. -Neao

bility and gentry. A story is told Of
a verbal encounter between Maple
and that noble Outcast, the Marquis
Of Ailcsbury, which occurred on last
Derby Day. Maple fooled a four-in
hand out to Epson with a party Of
ladies and gentlemen, and, in the
crowd of vehicles at the hill, he
brought up behind the Marquis, who,
in his usual shabby coat and bad hat,
was driving lean horse attached to
a very peculiar-lOoking vehicle, re-
sembling small omnibus, in which
were seated the Warehouses, known
on the music-hall stage as Dolly
Tester, and several of her offspring.
