OF INTEREST TO LADIES.

WHITE wooden carriage gowns. tiounc-
ed with real old irish point, and chic
| little Jackets of the cloth lined with
| heavy white silk have p1quant effect
A NOVEL model has the skirt Of green
camel's hair, with jet trimmings, while
camePs hair sleeves are placed in coat
| bodice of changeable green and mauve
| ribbed velvet.
For the house there are Greek gowns,
Roman gowns, Japanese, Spanish and
| Louis Qulnze gowns, fashioned of the
finest silks, cashmeres, crepes and veil
ing, with d bewildering futter of rib
| bons and lace.
CURIOUS caps for boys will be the
| fashion this autumn. They are OF suede
| In the dark tan and red shades, with a
band of black patent leather. Some
| take the shape of Cowes caps, while
others are like modified Tam O'Shan-
| ters.
AMONG the blues, what is known as a
real smoke blue is again in vogue; 1t is
somewhat darker than gendarme and
not as cold-looking as steel blue.
| Speaking of blue, the old Standby,
navy, is now combined with heliotrope.
and II very fashionable English woman
| wears heliotrope silk shirt, with a
skirt and coat Of navy blue broadcloth.
NEVER did fashion give it's votaries a
better opportunity to utilize remnants
of various dress fabrics for the making
of not only simple costumes, but those
| of the richest description. One gown
| is very frequently made up of rich
| combination of velvet sleeves and COL
lar, silk and wool skirt, crepe de chine
vest front and silk passeme nter;e jack
| ct.
SNUFF-rAKlNG has actually been re-
vived in MERRY England" SO it is safe
to predict, notwithstanding the great
good sense Of our people, that snuff
| long. The Meriden Company has some
charming little boves, which would
make excellent tablieres, lined with
gold and ornamented with monogram. 8
in blue enamel. They are also lovely
| for "ball putfs," that is to say, to keep
my lady's rice powder in, in company
| with q small puff; when she is at the
| theater she can look in the tiny oval
| mirror which is in the handle of her
| fan, and, at the back Of the box, give a
turtive dab and then return to her
seat, fully conscious that she is all right.
PERSIAN embroideries are the correct
thing now; so, if John wishes to get
you q present, of course, that is, If he
wisely and sensibly wants to get some
thing for your little home, tell him to
even pretty mat, with those intricate
designs, wonderful colors and careful
stitches woven together on 1t.
BED draperies should not be left up
| for an indefinite period without being
| well shaken, especially now that clean
| illness and vigilance in household mat
| ters may be the price OF health, if not
| of lite. Dust-laden curtains around
| ones bed are positively dangerous. In
| sleep the lungs are cons family being
| filled with the air Immediately sur
rounding the sleeper, and one can we'll
imagine the effect the million particles
of dust would have on the strongest
lungs in the world.
ONE MILLION dollars is the price of the
| five chains of pearls forming the collar
of the Baroness Gustave de Rothschlld,
and that of the Baroness Adolphe de
Rothschild is about as valuable. Both
ladies are great admirers IF jewels. The
most curious among famous pearls is
that which, three centuries ago, the
French traveller, Tavernier, sold to the
Persian monarch for $675, 900. 1t is still
| in the possession of the present Shah.
THE private apartments of Queen
| Victoria are hung with series Of paint
ings representing incidents IN her DO
nestle life since the time Of her mar
rage. The latest addition to the series
is a picture by Mr.. Reid, f. S. A., OF the
christening of the youngest child OF
| Princess Beatrice, an event that TOOK
place last year.
| Miss ELIZABETH MORE, of Edgeworth,
Pa. has recently built with her own
hands neat little cottage, laying the
foundation, doing all the carpenter
work, and even plasterlng the rooms J.
| During some of the work she found IL
necessary to don male attire. and she
was aided in the hardest part OF me me
work by young girl friend. MISS
More is q pretty girl, and is very proud
of having once been a protegee OF Jane
| GREY Swisshelm, from whom she PROB
ably learned some of her energy.
| IT is curious that when SO many wom-
| en- are asking what they can do to earn
money so few think of becoming
amateur gardeners. Violets, plnks,
chrvsanthemums, and many other
flowers are not difficult to raise, ana
when carefully packed and sent 10 q
( florist bring good prices. It's SAID tnat
a woman in the South makes good IN
come furnishing real orange blossoms
to famous florist, while i've or SIX
others dress themselves on the uoIlais
nroduced from the vIolets that grow
with so little care in the well-prepared
violet pit. ,., ~,
Mrs. EMMA P. EWING, the lecturer on
cooking. declares that while improve

attention is given to the parlor ana q
