gowns illustrated is made Of white silk
gauze on a foundation o, white glace
silk. This silk is especially favored this
season for the delicious crisp rustling
sound il has, and it is used for lining TO
everything possible.
So, then, this game is made over the
silk foundation and around the bottom
has anarrow rutlle Of gauZe embroidered
IN soft green silk, and there are bands
OF the same laid fiat between the pGffS.
The sleeves are laid in puffs and nat
bands 70 the elbow and the top in one
large puff. 1t is simply gathered to
belt very full in the back of the skirt.
The waist is Spencer and has V shap-
ed plastron of the embroidered gauze.
THERE'S a wide folded belt Of green
surah aud crossed bretelles Of ribbon in
the same shade, which is pale apple
green. This makes an exquisite party
dress for blonde.
II made In India muslin or chiffon IL
would be nearly as pretty, and change
Of the color Of the ribbon and embroid-
cry would adapt it TO any complexion.
The embroidery could be left of.
The young daughter Of Mrs. Elliott
Shepard, Edith Shepard, wore at her
coming out this week a gown of white
chiffon and silver embroidery which
was chaste aud beautiful. The general
style Of the dress was almost exactly
like that in this picture.
Another dainty dancing gown for
young girl is illustrated here below,
and is truly artistic. The foundation
is of glace silk, over which Is skirt Of
crepe hsse, and over this is gown
made of exceedingly fine and delieately
patterned chantilly lace, the black hg-
ures of which seem to grow shadowy on
the soft crepe lisse beneath. The
sleeves are made of the same, as is also
the bodice, and the pointed Berthe is
also overlaid on the crepe lisse. There
is a wide folded belt, with few dark
cOrnfowers. 1t is very full at the back.
Good white lace Of very delicate pattern
would be effective over red tulle or
some other color.
There are tulle gowns In every color
deep red, pale blue, apple green, gold,
pink and white, as well as mauve. Tulle
is the lightest and prettiest OF all dane
ing gowns, but it is scarcely possible to
get more than one evenings wear out OF
such a gown, and il is quite dear too.

About the unhappiest man In Boston
Wednesday was a car thief. s. D. Went
worth, a banker Of Rochester, N. H., left a
sachel on seat in a car in which he was a
passenger while he went into the station
eating room TO his breakfast. The saohel
contained s12,0 900 In negotiable securities.
The banker had barely taken a mouthful
when he thought of the sachel. He rushed
into the car, but the sachel was gone. He
was greatly excited. He looked in every
reasonable place for it. de was on his way
TO the police station, and as he cleared the
door Of the railway station he saw a man
behind the big oak door wrapping some~
thing In a newspaper. Suspicion made the
banker sharp, and he at once dragged the
man from his hiding place and discovered
that it was his sachel. The thief thought
he had captured only few soiled articles of
clothing. II he had known the value Of the
sAchels contents he would not have been 80
easily caught.

Whistled speech.

When the Marquis de Lafayette and several
general officers quilted the French army, then
In insurrection, after the famous 10th Of Au-
says the Youths Companion. Then they were
transferred to the custody Of Austria, and for a
long time were confined in the castle of OlInutz
They were kept in solitary confinement, but
were within hearing of each other when stand
ing at the windows OF their chambers.
To improve this advantage they thought of
the following plan: There are, or were at that
time in Paris, certain tunes called airs Of the
"PonJ Neuf"-pop ular balla1s that were sung
on street corners and in other public places.
The words belonging to these airs were so well
known that to strike up few OF the notes was
to recall to memory the words that accom-
panied them
The captives at Olmutz gradually composed
for themselves a vocal vocabulary by whistling
these notes at their windows; and this vocabu-
larry, after short time, became so complete
that two or three notes from each tune formed
an alphabet, and gave the men a means Of in
tercourse
In this way they communicated to one an
other news concerning their families, the prog
ress Of the war, and many other things; and
when. by rare good fortune, one of them lad
procured a gazette, he whistled its entire con-
tents TO his partners in suffering and confine-
ment.
The commander of the fortress was CON
stantly informed OF these uneccountable con
certs. He listened he set spies; but as tn g
whole was a language of convention, the most
practiced musician would have failed to detect
the meaning Of the notes.
Whistling was prohibited, but in vain, and at
length the Austrian, tired of conjecture, inter
posed no further to prevent what he could not
comprehend.

The state board of health of Georgia was
abolished by the legislature because it was
"a useless institution" Ask one Of the
legislators who voted for the abolition If he
is still OF the same opinion, and the chances
are that he will say no. In the present
emergency the cities of the state have their
municipal health boards to guard them,
while the country must look out for itself
as best it can. Should cholera break out in
small town or village there would be no
one in authority to direct the isolation OF the
