Last week it leaked out from the archives of
the Pension Bureau that Deputy Commissioner
Bell, who has made numerous public state.
ments severely condemning the disability pen
sion Of Judge Long and others, was himself in
the same boat with the pensioners who are now
hauled up for his scrutiny. Up TO the 3lst of
May last he drew disability pension of $l2
month for loss of teeth, Indigestion, and
heart disease" alleged to be the result of his
military service. The decision of Assistant
Secretary Reynolds, which placed the able
bodied veterans beyond the pale Of the pension
able, was rendered on the 9th of May. Four
days later, on the 31st, Mr.. Bell addressed
letter to the Commissioner, in which he re-
signed his pension, declaring that he had con.
sdered himself entitled to il under former de-
eisions, but thought under the Reynolds ruling
that he was no longer entitled to draw the
amount Deputy Commissioner Bell, being
asked if the statement about his having drawn
a disability pension fer himself was true, re.
plied g supposed that thing would come out
sooner or later; yes, it's true"

hats and bonnets in the present re-
,ivals, women cling to small headgear,

are only band of velvet with some
sort of garniture; others are of gilt or
beaded tissues or spangled nets of
various colors. Whatever the material,
these small bonnets are given charac-
ter BY a little outstanding plume of
flowers, a spike of grasses or an
aigrette. BY the way, the aigrette is
even more than ever popular this sea-
son. Light Venetian guipure laces
are also especially popular as gar

Notes of the Modes.

As to sleeves, immense width across
the shoulders is seen on every hand.
The effect is not raised but sloping, as
the mode was sixty years ago.
A new sheer fabric is the mbourd
organdy, which is embroidered in
arabesque design in long tambour
stitches done in white or n color on a
pale tinted ground.
What is known as the marquis" is
a three-cornered hat of straw or jetted
Neapolitan caught up at both sides of
the n ont with a velvet choux and on
the left trimmed with high loops and
full. aigrette.
At the present moment the favored
fabrics for summer frocks are
batiste, dimity and lawn the Batiste
for those that are somewhat elabor-
ate and the lawn and dimity ior sim
pie morning gowns at home.
A pretty fancy for summer suits are
those of linen duck, in white, butter
color and ecru, either plain or figured
in tiny dots. They are made up with
full. round skirt and with an Eton
silk blouse waist.
A beautiful little bonnet from caro-
line Rebeaux is of pale yellow straw,
the brim edged with black velvet over
laid with lacelike gimp of fine gold
ieweled with emei aid beads. A clus-
ter of pink azaleas and seeded grasses
with one or two standing loops of
velvet, form the trimming.
Among the attractive cotton dress
goods this season are the percaliner
and the French ard Scotch zephys
ginghams that are woven so wide that
they can be made t.to seamless skirts
with selvages &C the top and hem.
Some of these aga almost as sheer as
silk and the Color blendings are really
exquisite.

days of the greatest decadence in the
wearing OF lace, when the precious
lengths OF gossamer thread were foJAed
away IN blue paper in many woman's
treasure ooX, there was a certain caste
OF literary gentlewomen that made of

always feature of their full dress.
julia Ward Howe wears bit of old
point pleated in the neck of her plain
black gown, and another woman re-
former carries to the meetings when
she presides priceless fan with
mother-of-pearl sticks and cover of

OF the old school, reduced in circum-
stances, adds an indisputable touch OF
gentility 20 her plain, homemade
gowns with scarf of point or frills of
hne old BRUSSELS lace, which, with her
quantity set old fashioned diamonds,
small but brilliant, somehow makes
the most modish French gowns look
crude and commonplace beside her
palmer attire.
Now another old new fashion, sur
vival of the days Of elegant ease and
moderation, is that of sealing letters
with wax stamped with ones seal or
crest. Any woman can scribble off the
modern note and fasten the gummei
envelope with much care, but there ia
something individual in the seal. II
calls for deliberation, is opposed to
vulgar haste, and savors of graceful
leisure and elegance. The new sticks
of wax are large like the old ones; the
seal is large and round, and requires
deftness in manipulation, which dis
tinguishes the note elegant from the
grocer'S bill or the business letter. The
taper in its silver stick is pretty ad-
dition, too, to the writing table.-Now

Some charming tea gowns have been
set forth this week, made of rich and
dainty summer textiles, some with

full to carry about, as they take up but
