Made in the private houses, some Of them are
garnishHd with sheer book muslin needle
work. One made by Leyyastre, Of black and
white check. has front set in OF needlework
some four or five inches wide. The needle
work is made with a stitched box plait and
cluster of fine tucks and narrow Yalenciennes
each side. The velvet is turned under each
side or cut out and the muslin lies over a
blue lining. Turquoise studs are down the
front. Over the velvet neck band is turned
down a collar OF the needlewOrk, and the
sleeve has the top fullness plated il at the
elbow, and thence down the back IS set in a
strip of needleWork over blue 10 the wrist. A
showy blouse for an afternoon at home is Of
Nile green velvet, with pompadour flowers,
with white lace front over rose.
These blouses are easily made By the ANA
teurs. The back fits in plaits 10 the lining
and the front, also in plaits, Is bOufant. The
neckband and belt are generally OF velvet,
wrinkled and drawn round to hook behind
with little gathered flanGes. II may be useful
TO say thar these have the best effect made in
this way: Finish the blouse with plain band
seWe1 on: then cut bias piece Of velvet six
inches wide and long enough to 60 around
the neck, which finish by hemminS on the
side and gathering at each end with the
fangos. II is not lined. Catch the middle OF
one side to the lower edge Of the stationary
band, and when the bouse is put on it is
turned up and hooked round. Thus it always
looks fresh. The belt is done in the same
way and without lining. but 4 whalebone may
be caught in down the front.
skirt OF black velvet is useful and in good
taste for nearly all occasions. II need have
no bodice as silk bloUses are so much worn.

PARIS, Nov. 15.-The "best gown" is trying
to shape itself now on the feminine retina

to Aunt James family dinner, to the next
card party, or OF an evening when drops in
ones favored young man, and how to add to
it fxings to make it look new whom the
occasion is new-to make it like several other
American institutions, combine numerous
possibilities in one. 1t is a question of the
hour. The French woman has her demi-
dress and the English one her visiting gown,
and back OF them on the peg they have in
yariably decoIlete supplementary known as
dress. SO have some Americans, but to how
many others is the deeollete unknown and
full dress no other than the high-necked best
gown.
1t is a comprehensive ques ion there-a

There is choice between plain velvet croco-

Then followed a terrible scene, while we
looked ON like people in nightmare
THE two men seemed suddenly TO turn
into raging demons. but from the very first l

like a trooper, down in his chair as if he had
been a child

yelled; defend yourself, for kin or not we are

There were pair OF swords crossed on
the wall, slender murderous duelling swords
and tearing them down he flung one to his
uncle, and in a moment they were fighting
like mad, parrying thrusting, and feinting,
with deyterity sickening TO see.
For the squire, you must understand, was
an experienced swordsman; he had pinked
his man in mis- time; but fired by love and
hate. and always good fencer. Jack was
match for him. One moment it was he who
was doing the parrying. The next it was the
squire. And presently. as if in a dream,
could see my uncle and Prince, the negro
butler, standing on chairs and putting out the
| candles that were fastened 10 the antlers of
the deer heads against the walls, in the hope
that this would stop them.
But it did nothing of the sort; it only
made them all the more determined TO XIII
each other and directly in the pitch dark,
after moments groping-groping that sent
an icy chill in the roots OF my hair their
swords clashed. and we knew that the duel
was not yet over.

1T was Thanksgiving night-a festival
not in favor in the South in those days-and
we were going to the Mansion house to a
family dinner. The wedding was only three
days off now, and the squire had taken a
fancy to keep it in honor of his coming happi-
ness.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The nomination of
Lieut.. Gov. J. Poujade for the Judge
ship of the Fourth Judicial District, is
in my opinion most fitting selection.
Having been intimately associated
with him officially, during the past four
years and knowing, what you so far
away cannot know with what intelli-
gence, energy and promptness he has
discharged all the duties of his Office,
I take pleasure in testifying to his
high character as a public officer. I
have no doubt that should the good
people of Eastern Nevada elect him to
the position for which he is named he
will bring to the discharge of its duties
the same conscientious devotion to
duty that has characterized his career
as Lieutenant Governor.
One of his associates.
