REVIVAL OF THE FURNITURE OF A
 CENTURY AGO.

4 Style Free From ExtravaEance and Ex-
 trcmc Conccits and Possessing stateliness
 Without Stinncss-The Colonial Mantels.
 Typical Colonial Parlor Fully Furnished.
 The colonial style of late years has obtained a considerable degree of at tention Its revival is a renaissance of the colonial chairs, tables and cabinets of century ngo, and, although based upon classic lines, is n positive creation, characterized by charming individual ity. Tho colonial mantels are construct i've features of apartments and are usually of wood, bearing floral garlands and pendants in relief. The pillows bearing tho shelves are fine examples of turnery, and much of the pleasing effect of the mantel is due to tho fine propor- tions maintained by tho delivery of TO- lief work in cornice and holdings, made moro effective by ample and well con- sidered spacing.
 Tho most elaborate carving appears to havo been reserved for the round cen ter tables for parlors and drawing rooms, and n variety of small tables arc notice able for extreme refinement of line. One admireS tho fine workmanship of the table which after half a century of straining wear gives no sign of unsta- bleneSs, no wavering even of the extend ed leaf that seems hung ill the air.

KIT CARSON IN ITS PRIME.
It Had Seven Thousand HustlinG Citixc

It Had Seven Thousand HustlinE Citizens Where Now but Hundred Remain.
 "In 1870 you might have travelled .000 miles and not have found as lively n town as Kit Carson, Colo" said Station Agent Billy Dunaway the other day as the Kan sas Pacific train fingered before the sta ton house at the now quiet little towl. on Big Sandy creek in eastern Colorado This was then the terminus of the Dem yer line of the Union Pacific. and you ran just bet the camp was a hummer, There were over 1000 people here, and a gayer crowd you never saw. The popu- lation was made up of railroad men, cowboys, mule skinners. gamblers and a preacher.
 "The latter was sometimes lonely, but the 6,999 other people ill camp were fair ly sociable and managed to have n mod erately good time, and everything ran wide open. and in the palmiest days of the camp there were 4 saloons, dance halls. theaters and all the other things necessary to the fabrication of existence in the gay and bounding west. For two years things were redhor, with fights, shooting matches and lynching bees near ly every night
 Some of the old time engineers who were jerking steam over the line then say regular daily news item ill railway circles for awhile was to the effect that man or two had been hung the night before to the bridge on the Sandy. The lynching of man for murder was an unusual event, but dire vengeance was wrecked on the petty burglar, horse thief or other uuprincipled offender who did not have the nerve to shoot, but sneaked around after dark to do his ne farious work. When dealing faro, the gamblers preserved reace and Quietude ill the game by wearing two 6-shootCrs silently swinging from their belts, and when ip game of stud the pack was always secured from being blown away by one of these same free moral agents Some stiff games were played ill those days, and when cowboy came in off the roundup, or when the freighters came ill from long trip off to Mexico and Arizona, or pay day on the line came along, money was stacked a foot high on the cloth.
 After the camp had been running in this way for two years the road was put on through to Denver. and the crowd followed. Where onco you could see over 1000 people there arc now n hun dred or so, and all that remains of the former glory of this namesake of old Kit Carson is the nameless barnyard you see up there on the hill, a lot of broken beer bottles ana dcsertion.

THE SUMMER GIRL.

Beautiful buttons of paste and enamel ornament many of tho French dresses.
 White trimmings are universally worn, and white kid is introduced with guipure in many of the embroideries.
 Chatelaines hung with all sorts of jingling trinkets, such as miniature fiasks, salt bot ties, seals and pencils, are to be worn again.
 Ribbons vie with laces for the favorite place among dress trimmings, and all kinds of plain and fancy ribbons are used on dresses.
 Graceful sashes are made by double band of ribbon passed around the waist and fastened at-the back beneath two rosettes, with long ends reaching to the hem.
 A novel way of giving a dash of style to plain covert coat is to introduce wide white duck collar and revers, which are made to button on and take off at will.
 Thero is a new coarse crcpon that is smarter than the moro softly falling kind. Tho crcpons with raised silk stripes, which look like tuoks, arc also very pretty and effective.
 Fancy side combs of tortoise shell or gold, set with diamonds, are worn to keep the hair in place. A pretty fancy for gray hair is an upstandiug comb of jet, which ex- tends down at the side of the head, gradu- ating into the hair.
 Belts of some description are an indis, penSabe article of summer attire, and they may be of ribbon, velvet or leather \ new fancy rescm blcs chain &rmor in miniature and consists of beads and paillettes overlap ping each other and sewed on elastic cloth Fancy buckles and clasps fasten the belts in front.
