New YORK, July 1.-The Herdii's VAL
paraiso correspondent says: News has
reached me of the bombardment OF the city
Of Porto Allegro in the Brazilian State OF
Rio Grande do Sui. The gun0oat Marajo
sailed up the lake and opened fire on the
city. The Castillo forces quartered In the
city were not unprepared for the attack
and with the opening hostilities began pre-
parations for the repulse OF the attacked
party.
Theland forces under command OF Gener-
al Velasques opened fire from the shore
batteries. At the same time the gunboats
Enrique, Diaz and Camosin began firing
from the lake. The combined attack, which
was well sustained from the shore and
lake, proved too strong for the Maraio.
She raised under full Roadway, pursued by
the Diaz and Camosin. Owing 70 the supe-
rior batteries and speed OF the pursuing
vessel, it is believed the Marajo will DC
captured before she reaches the ocean.
News also reaches me OF desperate bat
tie at Viamao, which is situated twelve
miles east of Port Allegro, on the lake oil
the same name as the town.
natter three hours heavy fighting. the
Castilho's were defeated. The Federal
troops escaped with little loss, but forty.
eight of the Castilho's troops were killed
in battle Among the killed Is Queros,

A gown of pale maize bengaline is
trimmed with combination OF cream
lace, tulle and ribbon. The tulle is OF
deep orange. 1t forms the sleeves,
borders the neck, heads the skirt flounce,
and is laid under the lace. The ribbons
are of two-faced satin, black and maize.
Many women desire an evening dress
that is not cut low. For them a model
is OF striped silk and galloon. The waist
in front is the convenient surpllce that
can be opened high or low. and the
sleeves are banded at the elbow, and
finished with fall of lace. =
Three bands of galloon pass round the
waist and may be carried up the back
TO meet the pointed opening, il there is
one, ending under bow, or may pass
straight round.
The skirt border is very rich, consist
ing OF two bands of the galloon with
lace insertion between, and lace Dor
der above, edge upwards. The silk has
a cream ground with heliotrope stripes
dotted with cream. The galloon is OF
the same colors mingled with gold.
Plain heliotrope is laid under the lace
on the skirt. This lace should be q
heavy guipure.
Crepe de chine waists Of pale pink to
wear with striped silk skirts make a
convenient variety in the wardrobe.
They are shirred very full at top and
bottom and are worn with very wide
belts or sashes. The sleeves are big
puffs and the neck may be cut as one
pleases. ADA BACHE-CoNE.

general hard watering-pla wear, in
Guiding trunk packing and flirting or
damp piazzas, as gauzy faoricks does
not.
Stripes are among the designs most
liked. Their popularity has been hui
morously accounted for by curious
man, who suggests that as America
wakes older the people become more In
dolent, and the women therefore are
growing fat.
Grounds are pale tinted or cream, and
the stripes, varying in width from an
inch to less, are sometimes of satin, and
often are outlined with black. A fancy
much in vogue is to have the grounds
between stripes covered with pompa-
dour flowers in colors. Another idea is
to have the stripe covered with broche
dots of the ground hue. Broche Sprigs
in self-color are on very many OF the
silks, striped and unstripped.
By broche l mean figures thrown up
in the welt by the jaquard weave. Very
much surah is used that has the surface
covered with dots in this way. Silks
strewn over with broche dots have been
popular with one or two of the Paris
modists for some months.
Another idea worth mention is irregu-
lar groups of many-colored printed dots
scattered over the surface like constel-
lationS
The coors most in use for evening
dress are old rose, heliotrope, gooelln
blue, many tints OF greenish gray pale
green, pale yellow and cream white. A
great deal of white used.
The fabrickS are India silks, so called,
Lousine, Surah and lightweight summer
bengaiine. The beautiful crepe de chine
also is in all evening tints. An ex-
quisite variety of the latter is strewn
with tiny broche figures in deep colors
or black that have all the effect of hand
embroidery.
A new effect in the market is called
nacri. 1t is woven OF white or black
and a color in bias notified effect after
the manner of Bradford wool stutfS.
This pattern, it is said, was originally
designed in India, and is now made in
large quantities in England, for eXDor-
tation TO India, where it is worn by both
men and women.
Changeable silks, in taffetta and surah,
are much used. OF these the most beau
tiful is the shadow silk, which l have
before described.
1t is a rich quality Of changeable surah
with the several colors coming to the
surface in indistinct blurred masses, as
il an impressionisic flower painter had
laid in here his ground paintings. 1t
holds the imagination, and is the per-
lection of the changesble silk idea.

Plain silk is far preferable for them.
The fittest use for changeable silks IS In
Innings. It's delicacy makes 1t here pc
culiarly appropriate, and the outside
forms it's boundary.
Nature understands its use better
than we-she puts it on the inside only
OF the shell. These structures do not
apply appreciably to very rich change
able silks that show their colors in
broad masses.
The fashion is to have bell skirt
training IL inches, short round waist
and sash, the neck cut round or square,
and huge puffs for the sleeves. The
trimming is lace and ribbon. Velvet OF
deeper color than the silk is much
used for parts of the dress, and adds
great richness and character.
The lace is the course guipure, or
mixed net and guipure, called point
d'Irlande, or else imitation point ap-
plique. In Paris the sleeves are much
made OF velvet, which adds to the char
acter of the costume, but velvet sleeves
have not as yet appeared here. Metallic
colored galloons sometimes strewn with
imitation gems, also nailheads of jet, are
on some French evening gowns.
Skirt borders have grown to the depth
of - or Is inches, and are principally
of lace. The combination of velvet and
lace with pompadour silk is shown in
our drawing. The lace here is OF plain
net with heavy giupure border, and is
placed border upward. Velvet ribbon
edges the skirt and the sleeves are OF
velvet. The dress has cream ground
with stripes of green edged with black,
and flowers In shades Of red. The lace
is cream and the velvet is deep rose.

Little Femlniti.s.

Mrs. Osborne's baby girl, who wa:
born several weeks ago at the residence
of Captain OSborne's father, is soon tc
be taken to Wales, where the Captain
has rented house in one of the most
beautiful portions Of Tivy Side. He has
left the army by the way, and will
devote his life TO his unfortunate wife
aud baby daughter. In addition to her
husbands society and the bracing air OF
Tivy Side, Mrs. Osborne will be sus-
tanned by the presence of her sister,
Mrs. Captain Czech.
If Bernhardt refuses 10 come among
as next year, and If Patti declines to
make another farewell tour, we may
console ourselves with the reflection
that we shall have at least one great
foreign star in the person of Mrs. Ber-
nard-Beere, Sarsh's famous rival on the
English stage. Mrs. Bernard-Beere is
not only a great actress, but she is also
a great British matrOn, even as Mrs.
Kendall is, and she will probably meet
with as much favor in society as the IA
nous English couple who recently left
US. At present the lady is in Australia,
and the enthusiastic citizens Of Mel
bourne have decorated the town in her
honor.
1t Is pleasant to note that Mabel
Emily, the only daughter of Annie
Besant, looks like her mother. Mabel
was recently married to Mr.. Ernest
Scott, who is about to settle in Aus
tralia with his young wife. 1t may not
be generally known that this marriage
was a fine illustration Of Mrs. Besant's
well-known antipathy to religious
forms. The ceremony was performed
by one OF the Government officials at
the Marylebone Registry Office, without
the assistance Of a minister Of any de-
nomination.
After a great deal of modest denial,
confessed that she is about to marry
again. The bridegroom TO be is a
wealthy Englishmsn, and the marriage
will take place, it is said, early in the
autumn.

As the summer days grow warmer the
children's dresses are more and more
tlowery. A dainty dress for a girl Of
eight is Of blue swiss, scattered over
with pale pink rosebuds. The skirt is
trimmed with a delicate vine stitching
in pink silk. The yoke is formed OF a
shocking Of alternate rows Of pink and
blue silk. The dainty sash OF blue is
tied gracefully at one side. A soft hat
of blue null trimmed with rosebuds is
worn With this dress. For the after

dren are wearing fetching little coats Of

buttons, the capes being of different

in its construction are gold, silver and

caught MS breath IN QUICK anticipation
This was the critical moment. Furious
beyond all control the two wild creatures
sprang upon each other and In the same
instant For scant half second there
was poised In the air yellow blur,
wrapped about with great glistening
coils like the trunk of small tree, and
then snake and tiger rolled in the dust
together.
1t was grand battle, and right nobly
was it fought. The serpent's coils were
Tightening about the tiger with strain
ed, convulsive movements OF the shin
ing skin, but the tigers long teeth and
sharp claws were buried deep In the
serpent's back and body. In that terri
BILE embrace there could be no result
other than death.
Tighter grew the great coils; the
tigers bones were cracking one by
one. Deeper sank the long teeth; the
serpent's life blood was forming little
pools in the dust.
Convulsively the fighters rolled in the
path, but weaker and weaker grew
their struggles. The end was coming.
Perhaps foreseeing it, the tiger made
one frantic, desperate effort to free
himself from The deadly embrace, but
the blood-steraked coils only frightened
| the more. Then the tiger again sank
his teeth and claws into the serpent's
neck and body. He would DIE as he had
lived, thing OF mistaken courage. The
serpent, in spasm Of pain aud dying
rage, tried once for all to crush bis enc
my into shapeless mass, but H<s flesh

About changeable silk somewhat is
needed to be said. Il is not used with
intelligence. It's aesthetic character and
effect on the person are not considered,
and the result is unnumbered gowns
