The fifth sketch pictures an utterly de-
lightful general utility coat. 1t is pretty
made up in any material, but II to be worn
on the mountains or at the seashors some
rich bright color is preferable. The model
was made of fawn-colored cloth, trimmed
with gold braid and lined with crimson silk.
In making these pretty wraps inferior
silk, either for the outside or lining, should
be avoided. Notwithstanding the tempta tons
which are being SO literally offered in the
way OF bargains in silk" A garment
which is so conspicuous a portion of the
dress should always present frst-class ma
terial and workmanship. There Is a decided
tendency toward all sash effects; whether
they be placed at the back, front or side
they are equally stylish. The bow Is also a
prominent accessory in all the stylish toi-
lets. For generously proportioned women,
who cannot wear waists that define their
size. there are very pretty and stylish coats
of serge. hopsacking and cloth, with skirts
to match. These coats do not have the out
lining hip seam, but show continuous
breadths fitted to the waist then widening
out into what Is known as the bell back.
The fronts fall straight and open. with long
shawl revers, to which a collarette Is usu-
ally added. The skirt Is gored. but not too
closely about the hips. and Is trimmed only
at the foot. The vest may be close fitting
and double breasted. but the preference for
summer gowns is for a full vest Of silk.
Quite as much attention is given to the
decoration Of the backs of dresses as to
any other portion, the following illustra-
ton giving very good idea Of one Of the
most popular fancies.

On This Occasion. mt Least, the In
surnnce Agent Was Welcomed.
From the Detroit Free Press.
An insurance agent. albeit a useful and
at times attractive person. is not always
a welcome visitor. To some people. indeed.
he is a decided bore. One Of this class owns
handsome residence. and even the
thought of an agent provokes his ire. One
evening recently he was enjoying his otium-
cum-dig. when a man walked in on him
very uncermoniously. The visitor was a
total stranger to him, and before he had
time to throw an inkstand at him or to
ask him to sit down he began quite calmly
and in a most businesslike tone to talk.
Have you any insurance on this house 20
said he.
Well. MIR. Otium-cum dig. was afire in q
minute.
What do You mean, SIR" he stermed.
by breaking into my house, sir, in this
Misunderstanding into my house with your
Internal insurance business? 1t is no con-
Germ of yours, sir. whether this house Is in.
sured or not. Get out, or I'll throw you
out"
The visitor was as calm as a May morn.

your house. and observed that 1t was on
fre in the rear. and 1t occurred to me that
II you had no insurance on it, perhaps YOU
did not wish 1t to burn down.
That's what the visitor said, but Mr..
oium- dig. didn't hear 1t all; he had
gone to the fire, and the visitor smiled and
followed him.

krow of anything finer than to look at that
girl, or to dance with her"
Then why don't you go up ana talk to
herr? his companion asked.
Sweet as q Wild Bird.
"Ah, there's the rub" he answered; "she
can't talk connectedly, you know. II was
a younger man, would like nothing no
much as to play tag with her, or blind
mans buff, or something of that kind, but
when it comes to sitting down beside her
and conversing for half hour or SO, why,
she can't do it. Yet, # isn't lack of intel
ligence that produces this state Of affairs
for think she Is cleverer than most young
women Of her age. 1t is simply because she
has SO much animal spirits that she flies
from topic to topic and won't keep her mind
or body in one place for longer than a few
minutes at a time. 1 have no doubt that.
after she is married. she will develop into a
sensible, well-informed woman, but at pres
ent she Is like wild canary bird and won't
sing unless she can fly from tree to tree at
her own sweet will. Perhaps she would lis
ten to a man, If he made love to her, in
fact, am quite sure she would, but as am
not prepared to do that. why. am content
to look at her, pass a few jokes with her,
dance with her and pass on"
or course pretty girl Of that kind has
not got the time for serious or prolonged
conversation. That will come In time, and
will follow the days when she is enjoying
her youth. At present she Is thinking too
much of pleasure. is having, perhaps, two
or three little love affairs and looking out
for two or three more. Until she gets mar
ried she will not have time to think Of
anything else. She will be formed after
her marriage. and woe unto her husband
IL he forms her badly. II ne Is a bad hus-
band, she may make beautiful martyr
of herself. but she may, on the other hand,
mete out such punishment to him as will
cause him TO grind his teeth in anguish
all the days of his life. 1t is a terrible re-
sponsibility that a man takes upon him.
for almost everything depends on him.
If one could marry one of these beauties
after she had matured IL would not be so
dangerous, but unfortunately, they are
quite certain to marry when they are quite
young.

From the New York Recorder.

From the New York Recorder
1t has been stated that a young lady went
one day to an oculst with a trouble in her
eyes which threatened frightful results.
She was already in a state where reading
was out Of the question. and other enter.
tainment was fast becoming a torment.
The ocu1ist looked at her with his profess
sional wisdom, asked her various questions,
and then suddenly amazed her by asking
her to put out her foot. The foot. In Its kid
boot, with a wicked little high heel, was
thrust forth. The doctor eyed 1t a momen,
with stolid face go home" he said,
land take off those heels Keep them OH

and we'll see how the eyes are"
In month the eyes were we'll and the
young lady learned by her experience and
little wise talk how near she had come
to having no eyes at all 1t serves to show
thzk there is the possibility that with that
instrument of torture constantly at work In

timately connected with all the other deli.

that IL they were bound to sit under a DEM

Mr.. Crisp In the chair than any Of his col

What the Man Who Came to the store
at Midnight Wanted.


From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
THE trouble with u.s." said the druggist
thoughtfully, lis that we don't keep open
late enough. There is lots of late business
at a drug store, and a man will patronize
that store In the daytime that ne is obliged
to patronize at night. 1t would pay us to
keep open later and not rely SO much on the
night bell"
The partner was little doubtful and call
&c attention to the extra expense for gas
and a clerk. but he finally gave in. the main
argument being that the late sales would
certainly pay the extra expense and that
the number of patrons secured would result
In profit.
Both stayed up the first night, one en-
thusiastic and the other skcptical One ex-
planned that, of course. they couldn't expect
customer to drop in the first thing. and
the other remarked that he would be sur
prised II they sold enough In three nights
to pay for the gas burned by one jet in half
an hour.
passed the store. and the partner shrugged
his shoulders and said ''See?" every time a
nan went by.
1t was pretty nearly time to close up when
a boy came in and bought a ten-cent pack
age Of cigarettes. The druggist would have
enjoyed throwing the boy out as he heard
his partner laugh, but he refrained. 1t was
nearly midnight and the extra two hours
they had remained open had resulted in q
profit of a cent or cent and a half.
Then a man came hurrying along the
street. He saw the light in the window and
made a bee line for the store.
Here he comes" exclaimed the druggist
joyfully. Some one sick. sure. / tell you
We ought to keep open for humanity's rake
II not for profit
George! was afraid 1 wouldn't find you
open," exclaimed the man as he entered.
I'VE intend to remain open till II or 1890
after this" explained the druggist as he
went around behind the counter.
ITS a good thing, good thing" said the
man approvingly. "Ole can never tell when
he may need something from drug store.
Give me three two-cent stamps please.
Not word was said as they closed and
locked the doors. The druggist did not feel
like saying anything. and the partner
thought il dangerous. And the next night
they closed between and 10, as they had
formerly done.

viceable as well as stylish.
A great deal of brown is to be worn this
season in various shades. but principally
the light tobacco color, biege, chestnut and
a reddish brown. Black Is usually intro
duced in the trimming in some way, and
a gown need by no means be confined to
two colors. Dark green's are also fashion
able. For walking gowns, tweed, cloth
fancy woolens and hop sack serge are liked
plain faced cloths being considered the

The Value of Etiquette.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Too much cannot be said in favor Of
social laws. They make life smoother, and
they surround all womankind with a circle
of homage that is respected. The woman
who recognizes this Is the one who makes
friends -ather than enemies, for her world
Is large one, and she understands that in
different places different rules obtain, and
that to he liked she must invariably do in
Rome as the Romans do. The young girl
invited to receive with an older woman-
that young girl who is simply visitor in
the city where her friend lives-is asked by
a considerable hostess kindly, but with in
terest, as to the gown she Is going to as
sumo. II she has made up her mind that
she will wear pale blue silk cut low in
the neck and having short sleeves she is
told by her hostess that although the gown
is pretty it is not just what Is worn in the
city, and it is suggested that she wear an
equally becoming but somewhat simpler
one. Later on she realizes what kind
ness has been done her, and how she would
have been the only one in the group who
was over-dresscd. The woman not much
used to going out. and who doesn't realize
that ten, or. at the most, fifteen minutes
is sufficient time to devote to one house. Is
never made conscious of this fact by a
well-bred hostess. but she learns 1t by dis
covering that the people who came long
after she did have left, and that she Is
making a mistake in prolonging her visit.
Punctuality which Is the politeness of
kings, makes you arrive at a house where
you are to dine at the time for which din

not reach the parlor before your hostess
is down. nor do you keep her waiting
