Fashion Notes for Holiday TOilettes

Elegant tailor made garments or those
for the promenade are of plain cloth.
They are often beautifully braided or
trimmed with soutache of another shade.
A novel way of using fur is in perpendic-
ular bands on the seams, starting from a
fur head at about the height of the knee
Odd combinations are encouraged, and
black and white, though not new, still
continue in high favor. The mingling of
lace, embroidery and fur form the rich
fashions of the present moment. The
Elton Jacket, the Figaro and Zouave seem
likely to remain fashionable for some time
to come. A feature Of this seasons fash
ions is the richness of the materials used
in gowns. The new dahlia tint, myrtle
and brown are much seen in woolen
goods combined with moire silk. These
items of interest give only faint idea OF
the many instructive points contained in
the Mcdowell Illustrated Magazines from
which they have been selected. These
journals are the standard authorities in
either Paris, London OF America on every
thing pertuining to fashion. Besides
their useful information they give valu-
able lessons to dressmakers and offer un-
usual inducements in the form of Patterns
and Coupons. LA Mode de Paris" and
album of Fashion" cost only $3.50 a
year each, or 35 cents copy 1.-The
French Dressmaker,' an exceedingly
practical magazine, is $500 per annum.
La Mode,' a family journal, which is
intended to enter into every home, cost
only S1.50 year, or 10 cents copy. If
you are unable to procure any of these
magazines at your newsdealer, do not ac-
cept any substitute from him, but apply
by mail to Messrs. A. Mcdowell & Co.,

According to the Burlington Clip
per this is the way thay manage the
festive liquors testimonials in the
Queen city:
The latest martyr of this kind is
"Spike" MaGrath. Spike took a
Daley offense and went to Rutland.
About the time his sentence expired
some of his friends conceived the idea
of giving him testimonial in the
shape of dollars and cents. For this
purpose dance was inaugurated and
brought off in the Hooks parlors over
Wheeler's clothing store, last week.
A police officer stood at the door and
collected so cents each from ahQut-50
couples. Between the drinks end dur
ing the dancing this officer assumed
the Hooks trumpet and used it with
the agility but not the grace of a
Damrosch, for stimulating the move
ments of the terpsichorean crowd.
An unguarded beat broke the globes

brief period, but the youth was not
detected until he had thrice repeated
the dark scene. The girls left the
ballroom before the programme was
exhausted, whereupon the peace Off
Ger and two companions went out af-
ter the ball was over, and spent the
entire Spike testimonial funds of
about $50.

Griffith Humphrey, a wood-chop-
per, early Monday morning found
the body of dead man lying, half
covered with snow, on the west bank
of the Poultney river on the farm of
Frank French in Hampton, N. Y.
Upon investigation it proved to be
that of Hugh Francis of Poultney a
quarryman, unmarried and about so
years of age, who had been in the en-
ployment of the Eureka Slate COM
pany. When discovered he had on
his person a gold watch and chain
and pocketbook containing 5000
in money and certificate of deposit
on the North Granville bank TO the
amount of S140. The first selectman
of Hampton, S. Downes, was noti-
fed and he moved the body to the
town hall in Hampton, where the
coroner's inquest will be held tomor-
row. The cause of his death is un-
known.
The last he was seen alive was a
week ago last Thursday night at
Melvin's store at Hampton, and he
was then half intoxicated. 1t is
thought that after he left Melvin's
store, late that night, he started a.
cross the lots for the saloons situated
on the road which leads to Granville,
half or three-quarters of mile dis
tant, and on the way sat down and
went to sleep and was frozen to
death. He was Subject to heart dis
ease and may have died of that dis
ease.

A Queer Profession.

"There are only three men in Chicago in that fellows line of business. '' re- marked the chatty Wabash avenue bar Der as he turned to strap the razor. "Oh, he trades in barbers' crank mo- tions, superstitions and whims," the operator continued. ''He goes from one shop to another with that little hand bag and trades razors, straps, brushes, hones-anything in the tonsorial line. How does he make living at it? Easy enough! Yoa don't know barbers very well. guess. We'll, some of them buy Q razor for, say, $2, and after he's used 1t awhile makes up his mind that he doesn't like it. So he sells it to this man sor S1. This man leaves it on trial with some other barber and gets $4 worth of old razors in exchange, and then he sells one of those old razors to the original purchaser of the $2 razor. He does the same with straps and homes and brushes. Of course he makes money, dresses we'll, smokes good cigars and works only when he feels like it. There's money in it for the three fellows ill the business, but the snap will be overdone as soon as the scheme is better known. Capital necessary to begin? Cheek and acquaintance are all that is necessary. When the razor broker gets a cranky customer who slaves himself and doesn't care what his outfit costs, pro- vided it suits him-why, then he does what any one else would do. He makes the crank pay for his crankiness. '-Chi- cago Tribune.

Labouchere IS nornlng 1T not resource ful. He has now hit upon a scheme for ridding social clubs of bores. The ex- perience of all clubmen is that in every club there are men whom the majority of the members would eject if they could-men who do not openly infringe the rules or bring themselves under the notice of the committee, but who con- trive in numberless ways to make them selves nuisance to the club generally.
 Accordingly Labouchere proposes that all members come up CT reelection at the expiration of certain periods of time say, every two or three years. AS this rule would be applied to everybody. there would be nothing invidious about 1t, and it would drive out the bores. The suggestion Is commended to the consideration of club managers in other attitudes than London. --Doston Herald.
