A handsome evening dress Of cream crepon
with sash Of satin ribbon is sketched in the
last illustration. The bodice is made low
necked and fastens over the skirt 1t has a
basque one and one-half inches deep on the
hips, two to two and half inches at the back
and about three inches in ffont. 1t is easy,
however, to alter these dimensions according to
the figure and either to lengthen or diminish
the length of the back and front points 1t
fastens in front, the hooks and eyes being
hidden by the folds. One width should be al
lowed for the back and one for the 'front.'
This would be sufficient for person Of me-
dunn size, but if the stuff be very narrow
the width must be augmented. The bottom of
the bodice is covered by a ribbon forming a
sash The sleeve lining is narrower than the
material and has two seams The bottom of
the sleeve may be drawn near the arm with q
piece of elastic run through the hem. The
material is cut in one piece and is longer than
the lining, so that it falls over at the bottom
and it should be draped with few stitches. A
broad piece of elastic holds the bodice tightly
on the shoulder, the sleeve being fixed on the
other side of the elastic. which it entirely
covers The skirt is trimmed with little
gathered founce, the material for which is used
double, forming pretty heading.

on and on till the hideous exaggeration is upon
u.s. Then we are slaves to the fashion and
every one forgets the start of the thing and
groans under what seems an unreasonable
tyranny. The exaggeration of the crispness is,
OF course, the awful hoop skirt and the yards
and yards Of stuff in skirts. Let us cling to the
empire, or. perhaps, it is better to say, let the
empire cling to US. or course short waists are
no guarantee against hoops, for, in fact, hoops
are bound to come. They came as a reaction
the last time fashion took to clinging gowns for
a time. So, if your mother has given you any
old dresses pause in your mad career and don't
cut up the wide skirts. Keep them few months
longer and You can wear them just as they are
At the sight of the first models you will have to
admit a charm Of graciousness in the fashion
and suggestion of band-boxiness that is very
ailuring after our close-clinging, damp-looking
notions of late.
A shabby silk petticoat can be made really
swell again by running its ruffles with narrow
ribbon in rainbow combinations Not only
viii the rows Of ribbon give fresh color. but
they will lend crispuess to the skirt and to the
dress over it.

From Life
Mr. G. Dragmore Pyke. formerly Mr.. George
ID. Pyke, gave a dinner the other night at
Ciarets to twenty guests. The flowers we're
expensive. The ladies' gowns we're beautiful
and the conversation was exceptionally point
less and uninteresting. Whatever Mr. Pyke
undertakes he carries through with q great deal
OF style. Mr.. Pyke's grandfather, Silas Pike,
also had an artistic eye. The window Of his
little fruit store on Canal street some forty
years ago was always attractively arranged.
Mrs Harry Dsivydson's little dance for her
daughter Gushie on Friday evening at the

a very bright occasion.

these reports about Gross being for Nc
Greasy against Stone were false, and the

see it. The Messenger can rant and tear

You can safely put the Gross vote in
Meade county at 400 or 500, and it is my
opinion that it will go over that. Rich
ardson cannot poll over 500 to save his
life. This will place his majority from
800 to 400 in the county, and these fig
