The Colors That Are Popular.

The Colors That Are Popular.
Colors in favor this year are all shades of
pale green that verge on gray. Yellow
green looks hot and must be sparingly used
in hot weather. Chocolate brown and green
is favorite and good combination. Gray
is much worn, but it needs another color in
combination to give it character. Blush
gray is detestable and makes sallow per-
son sallower. Greenish gray is best. 1t
should be trimmed with either dark gray,
brown or black. Pink mingled with cold
gray is mistake very commonly made;
nothing could be more crude. Pink and
black are liked together this year, and pale
yellow is popular.
A Japanese silk evening gown for a
woman of plump proportions is shown in
our illustration. 1t is pale yellow, figured
with deep orange. The trimming is lace
and orange ribbon. A lute-string ribbon of
black, laid all the length of the orange rib
bon, and tied in with the bows, carries a
thread of BLACK through the borders, and
adds greatly to the character. The fan of
yellow and orange should have blotch of

The young scion of the house of Astor,
who will one day, If he lives, come into
possession of the aggregating millions Of

the death of his grandfather he takes his
airings in a little. baby carriage, whose
trimmings are all in white, wears close
white cap and an embroidered white cloak
with double capes. This is in contrast with

Tho Foresta OF Paris

A census of the trees of the city of Paris
reveals the fact that within the limits of the
French capital there are growing upward
of 120, 600 trees and about 100000 shrubs
Of the trees, about 20, 900 are in the parks,
ard the others are planted along the streets.
If these trees were planted all together, in
the fashion in which trees grow in the
forest, and at an average of 20 feet apart,
they would make wood more than 1000
acres in extent

The Annoyances of a Curtain

One of the small annoyances of house.
keeper is the ease with which curtain loops
slip out of the proper position. After they
are adjusted at the most desirable spot
they refuse with provoking per-
sistence to stay there. 1t is a
suggestion to sew them fast to the
curtain just at the top. For the moment
this arrangement of muslin curtains is we'll
liked, and is especially effective when the
curtains are next to the pane. The same
drsping is used in large doorways when the
portieres frame the opening rather than per-
form the use of door.

The silence of Senator Hill is
doing the Democratic party in
New York a good deal of harm,
because it is we'll understood
among the leaders that single
effort on his part would bring all
the factions in that State together
and put life and courage into the
party. Senator Hill, however ap-
pears to be utterly indifferent as
TO the result Of the campaign, and
this fact has caused a number of
Democrats to believe that he is
secretly working to defeat Cleve-
land, fearing that if the latter is
elected to the presidency that he
will lose his political pull in the
Empire State. 1t is also known
that Senator Hill had a confer
ence with Labor Commissioner
Peck before and after that official
issued his remarkable report re-
garding the blessings the McKin.
ley bill had showed upon the
workingmen and with the Repu.
blicans are now using as a CAM
paign document. The members
of the Democratic national cam
paign committee, realize that the
political situation in New York is
not encouraging, but, nevertheless
they believe that the State can be
carried for Cleveland by hard and
constant work. Senators German
and Brice it is stated have located
in New York for the campaign
and will be at the service of the
national committee, because all
the leaders of the Democratic par
ty are aware of the fact that ii

Rounding Up The Political
Forces.

president Harrison has at last
written his long delayed letter of
acceptance and ex-senator Tho
mas c. Plat has found his way
back to the fold, borne in on the
happy thought, or afterthought
that he "loves the Republican
party more than he does Mr.. Har-
rison." These two events, though
both were expected, have brought
a small share of comfort to the
Republican leaders. But there
are some other matters which de-
tract from the hilarity of the occa-
sion by leaving more to be wished
for.
Mr.. Cleveland's letter of accep.
lance has been delayed, and Sena-
tor Hill! has not declared himself.
1t does not very clearly appear
what they expect the Senator to
say, or why he should say any
thintf at all. He is expected to
vote the straight Democratic tick
ct and his friends will know who
to compliment him by following
his example. 1t should be borne
in mind that victory is possible to
any party only through the instru-
mentality Of votes, which consti-
tuJc .ho great motor 0ower in all
political contests
OF the more doubtful Southern
States, Alabama was especially
selected for detection to the De-
mocracy by running wild after the
Populists in the disguise of De.
mocrats. Even the negroes de-
tected the sham and voted in large
numbers for the party that alone
had the power to guarantee pro-
lection to them. The negroes of
Arkansas have followed on tue
same side and by their votes asis-
sted in the election of VIM. Fish
back by majority of from $4,000
to 10000 over the alliance between
the Republicans and the populists.
This is said to be the first time
in the history Of Arkansas when
such large colored vote passed
over to the Democrats. The
causes that effected this was SINH
lar to those that secured the CO.
lored vote for Gov. Jones of Ala
bama, and will in all probability
secure the reelection of Gov.
Hogg in Texas.
There is practically little or no
political division on the color line
in these three States, and the
hopes Of Che Third party Of being
able to disrupt the Democracy
and elect their ticket vanishes be-
fore the logic of actual facts. And
we perceive that as one concern
after another of the Republicans
is allayed, others of more moment
spring up to take their place.
Mr.. Cleveland's letter of accept
ance will appear in good time.
David B. Hill will remain a De-
mocrat as true as ever; the South
will be as steadfast, and the color
question bids fair to be properly
settled by those who have the
deepest practical interest in it
