BLACK THE THING NOW.

When in doubt, get black, is good
rule for color; when uncertain as to
trimming don't have any, and serge
is a good material TO fall back on il
the dress under consideration is to
be for any but an evening or house
gown. Following these three rules
you will have black serge gown
made with a haring skirt, frock
coat with fared skirts, the skirts
lined with black satin and big black
pearl or serge covered buttons for
the double breasted fastening. At
the little opening at the throat II
linen collar and tiny front will show
and black necktie. This costume
will do for most any place and will
never fail TO be stylish and good
form. A dress of sable colored cloth
is sketched here. Its trimming is
chestnut velvet and il has vest of
crepon or surah. There are small
epaulettes of the velvet, and trim
ming of feather flowers having beaded
centers and tendrils is used over the
bodice.
A stunning gown is made of brown
broad-cloth, the skirt quite plain and
following the accepted model, close
at hips and spreading about the feet.
The bodice is cut very short on the
hips and to very short point front
and back, and is of ruby velvet. 1t
fastens under the arm, but this is
not apparent TO the observer. You
may think the skirt of brown looks
like a cross match, but it is not so.
The lower edge is slashed into almost
fringe and this fringe lies over IA
wide band Of the ruby velvet. The
velvet hardly shows until you walk,
then the rich color glints through
the brown. Besides this, the whole
gown is lined with ruby moire. And
the crackle Of it will console any
woman, no matter how often she
reads that scrunchy Innings are gone
out of fashion. = New York Adver-
tiser.

FAIRY-LIKE FRILLS.

Among the frills for SUMMER wear
are Marie Antoinette fichus. They
can be made at home in soft wash
muslin and edged with lace, and lend
an elegant and dressy appearance TO
even the plainest gown. Made from
colored muslins, they are becoming
to many faces that cannot stand
white even when in such a dainty
form as this. II you have the
patience to put fine stitches into the
hens Of the ruffles the appearance is
much improved. The real Marie An
toinette fichu that the hapless Aus
trian wore was simply knotted low on
the bust line, but fashion and taste
find many ways of disposing of the
long ends, and carry them TO the
side, or even make them long enough
to bring around TO the back and tie
like q sash.
A single fichu cut after the fashion
Of this double one is also pretty, and
where a woman pays attention TO her
pretty frippery to throw around her
throat, several Of these single ones
give more variety and quite as much
pleasure as one large double white
one. Machine stitching on this fichu
is apt to draw, but when carefully
done on the wrong side it is a great
saving Of time.-[New York Journal.

THE GIRL OF TO-DAY.

The modern girl is none the less
beautiful for all her ability. Her
mouth is stronger than the dimple-
circled rosebud of her grandmother ;
her chin sets frmer than that Of the
girl of two generations since; her
eyes are bewitching and sweet with
the knowledge that is made pure in
them, and her voice-the loveliest
thing in woman-is deeper and comes
from larger heart than the heart Of
the child-woman of long ago.
The old-time knight fought in the
jousts for his lady love, and, having
won her, killed her with neglect the
modern girl is sure she can command
devotion in a man before she con-
sents to be won. The modern girl is
better than any other girl in the
world, or else progress is a delusion.
She is the best product of what the
world thinks the best century in all
history. Kansas City Star.

How an Axe is M ads.

On entering the main workshop the
seen is the formation OF the axe-head
without the blade. The glowing fiat
iron bars are withdrawn from the fur
mace and are taken to n powerful and
somewhat complicated machine,
which performs upon them four dis
tinct operations, shaping the metal
TO form the upper and lower parts OF
the axe, then the eye, and finally
doubling the piece over SO that the
whole can be welded together. Next
the iron is put in IA powerful natural
gas furnace and heated TO white
heat. Taken out it goes under II tilt
hammer and is welded i'm second.
This done, one blow from the drop"
and the poll Of the axe is completed
and firmly welded. Two crews OF men
are doing this class of work, and each
crew can make ] 800 axes per day.
When the axe leaves the drop there
is some superiluous metal still adher-
ing TO the edges and forming what Is
technically known as "fin." To
heated in furnace and then taken in
hand by a sawyer, who trims the ends
and edges. The operator has Il glass
in front OF him TO protect his eyes
from the sparks which fly off by hun
dreds as the hot metal is pressed
against the rapidly revolving saw.
The iron part Of the axe is now COM
plete. The steel for the blade, after
being heated, is cut by machinery
and shaped. 1t Is then ready for the
welding departme A groove is cut
into the edge OF the iron, the steel OF
the blade inserted, and the whole
firmly welded by machine hammers.
Next comes the operation OF temper
ing. The steel portion Of the axe is
heating by being inserted in pots OF
molten lead, the blade only being inn
mersed 1t is then cooled by dipping
i'm water and goes TO the hands Of the
inspector. An axe is subject 60 rigid
tests before it is pronounced perfect.
The steel must be Of the required
temper, the weight OF all axes OF the
same size must be uniform, all must
be ground alike, and in various other
ways conform TO an established stand.
The inspector who tests the quality
OF steel does so by hammering the
blade and striking the edge to ascer-
tain whether IL be too brittle or not.
An axe that breaks during the tests
is thrown aside TO be made over.
Before She material Of the axe is in
the proper shape it has been heated
five times, including the tempering
process, and the Sne, when completed,
has passed through the hands OF
about forty workmen, each Of whom
has done something toward perfecting
it. After passing inspection the axes
go to the grinding department, and
from that to the polishers, who finish
them upon emery wheels.-LPhiladel-

THE CUSTOM OF WEARING BLACK.

THE CUSTOM OF WEARING BLACK.
English women" remarks Lady
Wilde in her Social Studies, 'seem
to have a fatal predisposition toward
black and having reached the middle
term, the mezZo cammino of life,
generally retire into black alpaca for
the remainder of their days. They
ought to remember that variety of
dress and the refreshing brightness
Of color is charming at all ages and
fills the house and home with flush
of gladness and JOY which almost re-
places the flush of youth" This
inveighing against black is part Of
the new gospel of clothes as set forth
by the Delsartists. IF you want to
show every month of your age with
interest, says one of them, persist
in wearing dull, unrelieved black"

FASHION NOTES.

Antelope skin is the latest novelty
for tailor-made waistcoats.
Dotted goods have gone out entire
ly; also dark grounds with white or
colored stripes.
Plaids are TO be fad, but like
most fads to be taken up only by the
few whom they become.
The new tennis flannels have tiny
silk lines on the surface, and include
pretty checks and plain colors.
Silk gingham will push close in
favoritism to all-silks, for it is
durable, washes well and comes In
every color.
For very dressy waists accordion
pleated chiffon and mousseline de
sole combined with steel trimmings
are to be used.
Heavy satins in all colors, especi-
ally black, will be extensively used
for matrons. These will be trimmed
in lace or narrow silk braid.

Toques are greater favorites with
the Parisiennes than ever, but they
also are larger and sit down more
closely on the head. The prettiest
are entirely covered with flowers.
Heliotrope and lilac will be the de-
cided colors. This is not pleasant
news for brunettes, but they can
nave the satisfaction of knowing that
mandarin yellow and black are next
in favor.
Taffetas is favorite material, the
sitter the better. China silk, in
broad and narrow stripes, will hold
its own. White and black India silks
that wash will make an effective COM
bination.
Something new is the plain black
Hindoo cloth, which takes the place
of plain black lawn. Hindoo cloth
much resembles black lawn, is of
perfectly fast color and has very
soft finish.

There ia another

hind the voluminous folds which

tablished indifference TO creature

she would first make up her mind
and then take out her embroidery
