Where the Fashions Come From.

Fashion is called sickle jade
and yet nearly every style is designed
with some special object in view. Oft
en- the manufacturer has created some
new material which he intends to place
before the merchant; TO make the
best impression possible he has sam
Piles of the new material placed with
some Of the best modistes whose
special designers will study the
goods, its color and texture,
and its combinations with other colors
and materials. While experimenting
with the material they create some
new style to attract attention; these
designs are reproduced in colored
plates and sent to all prominent deal
ers to give them an idea Of the value
of the new material. If these styles
are liked they become the fashion
Sometimes 4 dress made for some
leading artist, who has to dress as we'll
as act the character in the play, is
often SO beautiful or unique as to
cause sensation, and it immediately
becomes all the rage.
Most large establishments in Paris
have special artists who furnish them
each month with certain number of
new styles suitable for the season and
the new materials. From these the
best are selected and the garment
made up accordingly
The reason La Mode de Paris,
Paris Album Of Fashion and La
COusurisre give the earliest styles and
those that are reliable is because they
are at the very fountain head Of Fash
ion and know just what is going to be
popular. When you get fashion
journal get one upon which you can
depend for correct ideas of style and
material, for remember that if you
wish to show correct and good taste
yourself you will need to study those
styles which are artistic and reliable
If you wish to keep up with the styles
we advise you to subscribe for La
Mode de Paris, $3.50 per year, or
Paris Album of Fashion, $3.50 per
year. These are the most artistic
fashion journals published. La Cou-
turiere is fine home journal for S3.-
90 per year and La Mode is only ST.
50 per year.
You can generally get single copies
from your newsdealer, but do not al

al for one of thee. You can get

BILLS.

A mosquitoes bills is an elaborate
contrivance, and consists of two sharp
claws and lance enclosed in sheath,
which is also employed as a pump.
The saws are bony, but flexible, and
the teeth are near the end which is
pointed. The lance is perhaps the
most perfect instrument known in the
world OF minute things. 1t is first
thrust into the flesh and the opening
is enlarged by the saws, which play be-,
side it until the sheath can be inserted.
The saving is what causes the irrita-
tation when a mosquito is biting.
There are other bills that cause irri-
tation. Sometimes it is the milliner
or dressmaker, or the doctor or the
butcher. The only kind of bill that
does not seem to cause any irritation
Is the printers bill. Nobody ever
seems to pay any attention to it.
