Variety the Word.

The chief characteristics of fashions present charming show are its infinite variety, its designs, eolorings and end less phases, affording an almost unlim- ited choice Of models suited to special peculiarity of face, form or feature. Liberty reigns supreme, and the great dictator in dress is no longer a despot On the contrary, the flats of fashion are now very often vetoed. and per sonal choice and individuality in gown ing are everywhere apparent This was notably shown in the putting down of crinoline proper two years ago. It is, however, again making very unmistakable bids for favor. and it is to be hoped that it will again meet it's former fate. Consistency is another characteristic that is receiving especial attention, and gowns and garnitures, jewels and faces appropriate to their own particular time and place appear, the entire costume in perfect accord both with the hour the occasion and its wearer's surroundings in life. It is also perfect in small details, from the crown of the wearer's bonnet to the tip of her dainty shoe.-N. Y. Post.

Bed Coverings.

Coverings to the bed are also under going a very desirable change. Every article which dresses the bed nowadays should, it is beginning to be under stood, be light, airy, and yet warm This perfect covering is found in the fleecy blanket, of different weights for the varying seasons, which is substi- tuted for the quilt of our grandmoth CTS. That article of weight, solidity and labor, showing often thousands of pieces put together with infinite care, every stitch an evidence of neatness and the whole relic of sewing bees and prize patches, is no longer the treasured possession which it has been. With due respect to the labor of the dear hands, we should, nevertheless, be thankful for it's downfall. Summer bed coverings and dressings receive the same attention that are accorded to draperies and furniture for the same season. The winter spreads are re- placed by light dimity, marseilles or honeycomb, the latter shown now in marseilles patterns, having taken on new beauty. Any of these, however, are heavy, and are not so desirable as some pretty affair designed at home from curtaining materials. Y. Times.

Ovation to Miss Davis.

When Miss Winnie Davis, the "Daugh- ter of the Confederaey," was intro duced wild shout went mp that fairly made the enormous building tremble. Never was there seen such demon stration. Hats were flying in the air, gray haired men were cheering and yelling, completely drowning the music made by the band, which was play ing the Bonnie Blue Flag It had been intended that Miss Davis should greet each veteran by handshake, but the impracticability of this feat ure was soon manifest. The masses of old veterans were so overcome with enthusiasm that a wild rush was made for the place where Miss Davis stood, and in an instant she was sur rounded by a mass of men all pushing pell-mell to grasp her hand and show how happy they were to meet her. Realizing the danger of such a crush Gov Lowry and several tricated Miss Davis from the crush and placed her where she could be seen by all and bow her acknowledgements This seemed to suggest to the enthu- siastie throng that it was physical impossibility for Miss Davis to go through two hours of hand-shaking, and a royal shout greeted her appear anee, drowning her utterances, but dem onstrating that the children of lief ferson Davis are dear to the hearts of southerners, particularly those who for four years followed the stars and bars.

PopularIty Of Drapery.

Drapery has seemingly become quite a disease, and like most evils the fault is not in the use, but in the abuse One hears a great deal of artistic draping, and the extent to which it is carried in some houses is quite pitiable to see, the lack of artistic perception being only too palpable-legs of tables, arms of chairs and every stand and fiower-p pot are tied up with silk and ribbon- bows, and the effect is anything but artistic. Do not drape for the sake of draping, but when suitable place seems to re- quire it-for instance, "a window or door or an archway between two rooms then will the draping enhance and not detract from the general appearance There is plenty of scope for originality of design in the way of hanging, but do not seek for out-of-the-way sub- jects, and do not carry the drapipg fever to excess if the best results are to be obtained.
