she goes a second time to plight her troth
she must gown herself in gray or some
other subdued colcr; white is for the viz
gin. About the white wedding gown is
gathered all the romance of lfe's pretty
love dreams, and its purity symbolizes
that of the maidens heart which beats IN
der "the simmer of satin and fittings of
lace" All the poetry of the trousseau CEN
tiers in the single gown, and though there
be dozens of others no one cares straw
about them if the gown itself may not be
seen.
Elegant simplicity should always charac-
terize the wedding gown. 1t may be of the
richest satin that Lyons looms can turn
out, or it may be of silk like cobwebs for
fineneSs; only Paris muslin may be en-
ployed, or cloud-like tulle and chiffon but
whatever the material it's make must be
faultless, its fit perfect and it's lines simple
and flowing. OF course there is a wide
choice in materials for wedding gowns;

some habits are shown by the London and
Paris houses in blue and some in gray
cloth, and to go with these are high hats
of the same color. The cloth habit is
usually fitted while the wearer sits on
saddle, and is shaped to the form. OF
course, these habits look very elegant, so
long the wearer does not move a mus
Gle, but when she does-well, then they
don't look so well, but, of course, the wo-
man who goes in for habit does not care
for the riding, and as she canters along in
a mild way, she knows that she looks pref
ty, and that fills the aim of her ambition.

of their costliness. A remarkably pretty
floral decoration for the room In which the
ceremony is performed is to fasten set bou-

from one to the other with bow knots to

The summer season will see the stiff

Such a skirt costs like the mischief and
will be a torment because the ends of the
haircloth will stick through anything but
tin, and they scratch and irritate the flesh
dreadfully.
This craze for initiation seems to have
struck the American woman all of a heap,
but as violent fevers soon burn themselves
out, it is fair to suppose that by autumn
the latest French fashions of falling sleeves
and softly draped skirts will have arrived
and all the women will have become Pris-
elias of attenuation.

may be of black satin, but it Is more
modish to have it white. The coat has
longish, rather plain skirt, and buttons

Members OF the administration are
having a difficult task to reconcile
the promise that a democratic tariff
would open the markets Of the world
TO the producers and manufacturers of
the United States with the cold, hard
figures contained in the official report
of the bureau of statistics-f gures
compiled by democratic officials.
During the eleven months ending
May 81, 1895, exports from the
United States fell off, as compared
with the same period ending May 81,
1894, when the Mckinley law was in
force, nearly SIS, 900 900 in value-to
be exact, the expectations for eleven
months under the Mckinley tariff
amounted to ss13. 81 500, while the
expectations for the same period I'M
der the democratic tariff amounted
only to S739, 651, $50.
These are the sort Of facts which
have convinced those who control the
great business interests Of the country
that it is not safe to have the demo-
cratic party in control of the national
government, and which will not soon
be forgotten, but will stand like a
stone wall over which the democratic
party cannot hope to get during the
life of the present generation.
