tions. OF course just now the fancy
for black and white combinations is SO
great that these colors are the first
choice, and an effective gown of this
kind is of black mousseline de sole,
with thin bands of white or black in
sertion over a petticoat of white
satin. A broad Anne of Austria
collar finishes the neck. The same
model is equally pretty made up over
magenta or green satin. The beauti-
full thing about such a gown is this,
that it can be made up at home, as the

New York Fashion Letter !


Some intrepid interviewer has caught
the fair goddess of Fashion in com
municative mood and coaxed from her
the answer to the oft-repeated, but
hitherto unsatisied query, "How is
Fashion created?' And the substance
oi the answer, couched in more digni-

diction. 1t obeys certain and various
currents, sustaining the influence of

stance. So we have the 'Walkyrie

This traffic, y foreign medical journal
says. is the cause Of the introduction
of many diseases in Europe. The hair
is cut from persons after death IN
China. and although it is disinfected,

lowing bnlletin:
Advices since our last issue do not
show that an improvement has occurred.
The universal Cry is decay" Fruit is
reaching all markets showing from five
to fifty per cent. decay. So long as this
continues, low prices generally will pre-
vail. The trade is active, and the de-
mand satisfactory, but buyers are suspi-
cious, and consequently very cautious,
all because of the evident fact that the
keeping qualities of the fruit is poor.
