The young Bittersweets were going
away on visit and after many vicissi-
tudes they were in the street car on
their way to the station.

Amelia. Now, we would have missed
our train if my watch had not been in

dear, and put it out of order"
Always some excuse But, as 1 say,
punctuality is a great virtue-now
never miss train and never sit at the
station half an hour or SO. You are
habitually late-you should make a
habit of winding and setting your watch
at certain hour each day; say when

DRESS ORNAMENT.
New Styles Which Have Rich and Elaborat
Il

New STYLES NnlCn Have hlCH H1hpoh"~O
Effects.
Many of the handsomest dresses are
trimmed with fiat bands of some ma
terial:or other stitched on. There was
one lovely dress of mode cloth, with
three rows Of tan cloth stitched around
the skirt at equal distance from the
bottom, and in front they were fin
ished with points and buttons. There
was an inset front Of amaranth cloth
all the way down, and two stitched
bands on the waist and one around
the wrists. The waist had a flat roll
ing collar for sole ornamcntation, and
it ended at the waist line under a belt
of the cloth. The skirt hung in godet
plaits all around. except across the
front. The simplicity Of this gown is
studied. and it is very elegant. saw
a black cloth dress made just like this,
only tho inset was simulated in the
same material The bias bands were
stitched on with scarlet silk.
1t is but three or four years since the
vogue for vandyl1c pointed laces was
strong, and now we find them every
where in all the thick laces, and in
white ccru and butter color, AMI others
in unbleachcd flax thread. They will
he used to trim gowns as corselets,
yol1cs and in other ways on the waist
and sleeves, and besides will be used
to border the bottoms Of skirts, with
the points set upward. Some of them
will have the straight edge hidden I'M
der narrow black velvet ribbon.
There are some novelties in the way
of waists made of silk, yelled and COW
cred with fancy chiffon. Some of the
silks would be of one color and the
chiffon of another, entirely different t,
so that it gave the whole a changeable
effect. The chiffon is mostly in butter
color, blue. or cherry red. The effect
is particularly odd but pretty The
waists as they are almost always
called when made of color of mate
rial entirely different from the skirts,
will have veritable furore this season,
and almost every lady has five Or six of
them to wear with different skirts, or
in some instances the same skirt, for
one really handsome skirt will always
look well with whatever kind of waist
it is worn. Black eudora. melrose, silk
warp henrietta, black cheviot and black
silk can all be worn with these fancy
waists
Zouave jackets to be worn over silk
shirt waists are coming forward, and
they are made of braided velvet or
cloth, black scarlet, white or blue.
Rarely any other color is shown. They
are worked very closely in gold braid.

Mary had brought with her various

brighten up her room, hut when. she
found they were to occupy the little
