FASHION NOTES.

Ladies' visiting cards are large and
almost square.
White stationery is out of date
with fin de steele women.
Little bonnets of Tuscan straw
finished with an edge of jetted lace
are very choice.
Pretty summer dresses are made of
cream-tinted Indian muslins, en-
broidered in delicate colors.
Pink beiges. cornfower, blue, and
red, with violet tinge which softens
its tone, are very fashionable colors.
Entire costumes are made of ac-
Gordon plated silk null. But this
material is mainly used for berthas,
capes, sleeves, &c.
The national game of Scotland
Golf--will soon be popular in America
as it already is in England. 1t is
fascinating and healthful.
Probably the most widely patro-
nized style of hair dressing at the
present moment is the Psyche knot,
in some one of it's varieties.
Black lace insertions are in great
use this season in inch and two inch
widths, laid fatty on the dress fabric,
| and not inserted as formerly.
The fern-covered hat is imported
in fancy straws of various colors.
1t is finished with full rosettes of
velvet at the four corners, where the
brim is caught up.

FUR STYLES FOR NEXT WINTER.

1t is safe to state that the butter
lily collar effect is passe. Capes will
be in demand, but in considerably
shorter lengths than last season.
One large manufactures has pur-
chased several hundred seal pup
skins with the ayowed purpose of
making, them into twenty to twenty
four inch shoulder capes. Jackets
will be morein favor this year than
last, and will experience little, if any,
change. A slight shortening of the
skirts will probably be the only alter
alton. Muffs bid fair to be good

There is a Japanese cleaning cream
which is said to be invaluable fol-

silks and ribbons, removing spots
from carpets, washing mirrors and
renovating paint. The Ingredients
are a quarter of pound of white

of spirits OF ammonia, and one ounce

glycerine. Dissolve the soap in hot
water, then add four quarts of cold
water and the other Ingredients

tifully shaded galloon in diagonal
cords, and heavy silk lace worked
with jet or iridescent beads forms
another attractive trimming
Tyrolese is the name of hat with
an indented crown, which is to SUI
persede the sailor. 1t is trimmed
with broad black ribbon band and
stiff bow and two quilts at one side.
A dainty house slipper is made Of
heavy black satin, which is cut away
over the instep and replaced by an
insertion of jet openwork, extending
to within half an inch of the pointed
toe.
Two flexible steels are sometimes
put in the edge of dress skirts to
give them the desired flare, and a
plated founce of stiff muslin is
added at the waist to throw the full
ness out.
A novel way to freshen white
silk gown is to cover it with a tunic
of colored transparent gauze. 1t can
be made in one piece, finished around
the neck with a full bertha, and
drawn in at the waist with belt.
The new bonnets are mere little
head-dresses, though milliners say
they are a trifle larger than the
bonnets worn last season. They are
made of the fancy straws in pink
and turquoise blue, as well as other
colors.
Covert suitings have quiet hues
and as now shown offer the same
variety in brown, fawn, drab, gray
and tan, as is found in the cheviots,
tweeds and' hop sacking displayed
this spring but they show no bright
hues whatever.
A new pearl necklace, which fits
closely about the throat, is fastened
in front with cord and tassels of
flexible gold, which may be manipu-
lated so as to allow the necklace to
fit any neck and entirely obviates the
necessity of a clasp.
Solid colors, such as the deep Du
Barre rose, myrtle green, turquoise,
celadon, old blue and yellow are
much liked. Ornamental bands on
engraved fieur de lis, crescents or
tiny howerets are relief to the
nonotony of the one color in dinner
sets.
There are many Jet bonnets
trimmed with little Mercury wings
heavily incrusted with jet or with
rosettes of rose colored velvet or of
bright stem-green. Still other bon
nets are made up entirely of tiny
wings, brilliant with spangles and
discs OF glittering black jet.
Tulle cravats are worn with the
tulle trimmed hats, and are made
with two large rosettes, instead of
the bow which has prevailed so long.
An extreme fancy for giving breadth
to the revers and keeping them in
place is carried out by putting a
slender whalebone in the upper edge.
There are little bonnets of white
rice straw, trimmed with black velvet
and bands of bright oliye-green vel
vet, heavy ecru lace, black ostrich
tips, and a pompon of Jet. This
seems heavy for summer, yet the
trimming is delicately put on, so
that the velvet forms a strong relief
for the bright hue Of green and the
dead white of the straw.

TALL SPANISH COMBS.

The tall Spanish comb has reap
peared among other Spanish novel
ties in the fashionable world. There
is no more dignified ornament for
the hair than this one, either in real

Middle-aged women with luxuriant
silver hair look most stately with
combs of this kind. Young girls
look very quaint with their hair
dressed around tall Spanish combs.

BLUNDkRED IN REGISTERING.
Democratic City Omcials Entered Many
Names In Wrong Books.

Since City Clerk Stewart commenced
preparing the precinct registration books
Tor the coming election il has been discoy-
cred that the work of registration done
under the direction of George Stonemon,
the Democratic city clerk, aDounds in err
rors from beginning to end. In some in
stances men have been registered in voting
precincts that we're about four miles from
the address given and from the precinct In
which they should vote. In other cases IL
appears that names were entered in the
books that went TO the voting precincts
but not on the original rolls. Fully 800
errors have been discovered and the tax
payers of the city will have to pay for the
labor Of nine men three days TO straighten
out the blnnders made by q Democratic
city clerk and his deputies. II City Clerk
SLOVENIAN had the registration books
checked up the matter is still worse, for
the work looks as If lot of schoolboys
had been practicing writing for fun.
q. +. Briggs. a well known citizen, would
not have been allowed to vote az the CON-
ing election if the men in checking up had
not found that he took the oath regularly
and fulfilled the requirements of the law
so far as he was concerned. II appears
that Mr.. stoneman registered Mr.. Briggs
In the book that went to the polls but left
him out of the original register. The oath
book showed that he took the oath regu-
larry. but the question came up as to his
right to vote. His name appeared on the
certified copy. but not on the rolls from
which the copy was made. The matter
was referred TO Corporation Counsel Scott,
who decided that as the records showed
that Mr.. Briggs acted in good faith he
could not be deprived of his rights through
the plumbers of an official.

Of 100000 people We have not

past year We have experienced what is q
new phase in the history OF the American
people. A large portion of them have
been idle. Production and savings by
them have practically ceased beyond the
fmme<iisse wants of trade, and they have
ceased TO enjoy the comforts of oiden
