From the politicians standpoint Mr..
Cleveland seems to have made rather
happy selection of postmaster for New
York city. Charles W. Dayton is a Tam
many man and was an active member of
the snap convention which chose Hill dele
gates, and that is enough to make him sol
id with the Hill crowd and to give force TO
the claim that the President did not dare
repudiate his obligation to Tammany. But
when Mr.. Cleveland was nominated, Mr.
Dayton became very loyal Cleveland man,
doing much to keep Tammany in line and
rendering very valuable service during the
campaign. Consequently, the anti-snap-
pers are as happy as it is possible for them
to be under the circumstances and the po-
litcal pool is not troubled.

to prove that during the past two years
DIR. Briggs and not the general assembly
had defended the true Christian faith /;
that it was not DR.. Briggs who was hereti-

President Cleveland gave out Monday
evening public announcement of his inten-
tion to call an extra session Of Congress
between the 1st and 9TH OF September
The uncertain and threatening fnan cial Sit
uation furnishes the reason for this decis-
ion. at is WE'LL" Mr.. Cleveland is quoted
as saying, ''for the people to take up the
subject for themselves and arrive at their
own conclusions as to the merits of finan-
cial policy which obliges us TO purchase
idle silver bullion with gold ;aken from
our reserve. One does not need the eye OF
a financier to see that this gold thus sub
tracted from the governments stock is
eagerly seized by other nations for the pur-
pose of strengthening their credit at our
expense. Already the timidity of capital
is painfully apparent, and none OF us can
fail to see that fear and apprehension in
monetary circles will ultimately bring suf-
fering to every humble home in our land.

The excitement about wearing hoop
skirts was premature. By which
mean to say that steels have not at this
writing been sanctioned by the Paris
dressmaker or worn by women dressed
from Paris.
Dressmakers here are interlining the
skirts with stiff cloth woven of horse
hair. This cloth resembles moreen, but
is sitter. Also it is expensive, a not I'M
interesting item. It runs nearly or quite
to the top in the back and half way up in
front, and it makes the skirt stand out in
flute like rolls at the bottom, like a half
opened umbrella or the scalloped edge Of
cake dish.
Having taken great pains to produce
this hair cloth nothing worse is antici-
pated in Paris for the present.
But even this is fall from the ideal.
The ideal was rather good by the way
A dancer with skirt forty yards wide
round the bottom inspired it.
The horse hair solved the problem.

land will wear the stiffening later, al
though she very properly refused to leao
the innovation. So also will the Princess
of Wales, who returned to the Birm-
ingham dressmakers all the gowns they
had prepared for her Riviera trip, to have
the horse hair taken out. The princess i:
very keen after fashion, and if there is ar
approved angle in Paris she is sure tt
have it, though she does not want the
name of patronizing an extreme.
THE NEW CUTS.
There are many ways OF cutting the
new skirt, but they all have the same enc
in yieW-a small top and wide bottom
with very round effect, on the model o
the umbrella.
AS now being made at Paris, this skirt
when doubled and laid fiat has the line
of back and front at right angles, and TIT
edge describes quarter circle, or rathe
a quarter ellipse, since the back is some
what longer than the front. The angl
at the middle of this quadrant is hol
lowed out for the waist.

great width of the gown above and be-

She has a skirt growing enormously
wide at bottom that takes the form of a
triangle; and round bodice that, in
cluding the sleeves, grows exaggeratedly
wide as it ascends, gives another triangle
She looks something like an hour glass;
in fact she has modified 1880 appearance
But in the ''triangle'' which encloses
the bodice and sleeves the greatest width
is not at the top of the shoulders, as il
was recently, but has dropped TO the level
of the bust. Note this, for it is change

nearly up to the tips of the ears, like the
folded wings of a tired cherub.
After this it bulged out on the turn of
the shoulder like a balloon giving width
in the line of the collar bone that was very
unpretty on woman, because it was
enthusiastically masculine.
Now the balloons have all but disap-
peared, for though there is fulness across
the shoulders it is not the great fuiness.
Where heretofore all the lines were up
wards, now they all droop and fall
downWards and outwards, and the sleeve
finds its greatest width near the elbow,
or as l have said, somewhere in line

BLACK PARAsoLs.

The shops are filled with innumerable
designs in black parasols for which there
is q steady demand. One of black boiling
cloth, with black covered ribs and ebony
handle, is profusely spangled in con-
stellation pattern along the ribs, and
costs S35.
One of the very newest for half mourn
ing is of white crepe with an eightinch
band OF heavy open work lace in black,
( set on fiat around the edge, aud finished
on both sides with a narrow band of black
passementerie. Z putting OF lace over
crepe finishes the top, and the cost is $12.
Those for deep mourning are still made
of gros grain, faced with bands OF crinkled
crepe, although the inserted bands of

pirate and considerably newer.

AS soon as the sun begins to gather

like butterflies. The manufacturers have
been busy ever since Christmas, and
There is an endless variety; nevertheless

distinctly novel features, detects no very
radical changes.
There is a slight hattening on the top
perhaps, aud preponderence of trans
parent effects. The ivory tips are novel
addition. Most of the ribs are now
covered to match the outside. Also some
original ideas are introduced in the form
of fat ribbon and passementerie tassels,
and bows or hemmed silk.
