in shoulder revers, far over the sleeves, and fell in front in soft plaits. They were edged with lot of cream muslin, finely embroidered by hand. A strilk- ing belt in black satin, made of three folds, is slightly pointed in front, and caught down with two steel buttons on each side. The belt widens out in the back to run up the corsage, but over it runs the narrow box plait of white mohair that started at the neck, and points into the waist line. The center of the front is in long gathers of white chiffon. The godet that falls beneath the belt is lined with yellow moire, and so are the sleeves, that are prettily fastened with three tiny moire buttons at each cuff
 The skirt has deep inside ruffle of corn moire, and streamer of black satin ribbon falling each side of the center godet at the back of the skirt.
 None of madam's skirts is stiff All are slightly interlined few inches up, but the rich taffeta lining gives them sufficient body to hang most gracefully.
 I asked for a demi-toilet, and she brought out the tiniest, daintiest, puffi- est little corsage had even seen for long time. It was all in white nous seline. The sides were very full of dotted mousseline, and just in front, over some puffing that must have been beneath, to make them round out so prettily, were two bands of lace inser- tion, with white satin foundation Three of these bands caught in the round, short puffs that formed sleeves, but between the puffs and the confning bands Aeated ruffie of accordion plaited gauge. A very small belt of folded lavender satin commenced in front and then widened out and up to form the entire small back, except the piece just under the arms. The waist was cut square, and what seemed very low for demi-toilet. Its trimming at the neck was band of the same lace over satin, pointed off in the front.
 She showed me another demi-toi1et "a quaint thing, in what looked like truly Eastern silk, with foundation of soft blue, run over in blacks and whites

 Trilby is little bolder when it comes to bathing. She scuds down to the surf in great white woolly bath robe, which is thrown back into the arms of a French maid, and then she plunges into the water-they truly plunge at the pier-in white serge suit with blue facings. If there is one thing Trilby thoroughly understands it is the construction of fetching bathing cos tune. Her white serge is cut with rather scant bloomer trousers reaching just to the knee. Over these she wears a short full skirt with a broad blue band about the bottom. Her blouse is net decollete, for her feet are bare, you know, and one never does that sort of thing at both ends. Still, the corsage is not cut very high, by any means. It has immense puffed sleeves that end above the elbow, gathered into blue bands It has blue belt, and Trilby

rOf course when Trilby left town for the summer she came to the Pier. Where else would the light foam caress her tiny pedicured feet so lovingly, and where but in the sand of this great curved beach could her little toes inn print themselves so clearly and be cer- tain of such genuine admiration
 Trilby at the Pier is worthy the de- voted study of even greater artists than Little Billee and the Laird. She is so pretty, so merry, so certain that the sun always shines and the sweet wild roses are always in bloom. She doesn't need a Syengai to hypnotize her into song, for her laugh is like q birds note, and if she runs away from her chaperon and makes eyes at a young man after q fashion that over at staid old Newport would be thought

sparing hand to the various liquors that stood on the board, and although he drank enough between the soup and coffee to have put dozen men in the very best ef spirits, by the time the cigars were passed round he had passed from the melancholy stage to one of sullen quiet that threatened to de- yelop into positive ugliness at any mo- ment.
 "The chairman opened what the To- cal papers called the feast of reason with a speech in which he fairly slob- bered over the whole department, praising all it's officers and men in the most offensive manner. He was fol- lowed by the sheriff of the county who, as 0'Farre1l remarked to me in an un- dertone of disgust: Laid it on with a brush, in bis efforts to outdo his prede- cessor
 It was now my Irish friends turn to speak, and a roar of applause greeted him as he rose a trife unsteadily to his feet and looked with what seemed to me to be smile of contempt at the double line of eager faces that were turned toward him. But the look of anticipation on each countenance changed with comieal suddenness to one of chagrin and surprise as the speaker blurted out:
 /" Gentlemen, it seems to me that we've heard quite enough about this hre department already this evening. Now for my part, I'd like nothing bet ter than to see the whole company officers, men and machines-in hell!'
 He paused moment, and the awful silence that hung about the board told hlm that he had made bad break, and a full sense of the enormity of his of Tense flashed across his drunken brain and sobered him in an instant.

AN EASTERN DEMI-ToILET.

glaring, too confusing although they rarely displease. Is it because of the fascinating kniclx-knacks she carries about her when her toilet is quite complete?-frst, lovely satin bag to hold her precious fan-a bag delicately embroidered with the semblance of the article it carries, in fine gold and span gled work; secondly, a half dozen or more silver chains, with an equal num- Der of silver attachments, all more or less useful, and all jingling by her side or in her hand? This silver attach ment is almost the first thing that you notice about the Parisienne.
 Or, lastly, is it the clouds of a beauti- ful something" be it lace, chiffon, or other material, in which she envelops herself when Zen grande toilette" something always termed 'confection, be it cape, corsage, or fiehu? 1 am in- clined to think it is this 'confection, and her manner of comporting herself in it, that makes this elegant creature we call Parisienne. The very sound of the word has such charm about it.
 More than ever was 1 convinced of it, after I had seen a few of these delight ful creations at the parlors of one who has come to be quite the proper modiste to visit. Even since the Maison Fro mont, Paris, made the dress in which Helene of Orleans become the duchess of Aosta and niece of the king of Italy, that house has been frequented by French and Americans alike The English always went there, for is it not where their beloved princess of Wales goes when she visits Paris?
 had little talk with Mme Garnier, head of the house. She makes great feature of these "eonfections," de- signed by herself. She has not model in stock, and never makes two gowns alike. Ordinary costumes do not in- terest her, but ask her to design we'd ding, ball, tea, or reception gown, and she is all enthusiasm. She showed me pretty things that were being made, the day visited there. Not one was fnished-all in process of making. I was particularly taken with the unde fnable charm about them-of much that same charm one sees in the French woman herself.
 There was an early fall toilet in very heavy white mohair-a weave ex- ceeding coarse but exceeding rich. It's trimmings of seorn-colored moire made 1t more bsautfful. The noire stretched

aTt is seldom, indeed, that an Irish mans wit deserts him in the moment If need" said the Diner Out, "but I cannot recall an instance where a ready tongue comes more quickly to the res one than in the case of Bob OFarrell, Q clever and eloquent newspaper man 1yhoun I met at a dinner some years ago.
 Bob O'Farrell was nothing more than local reporter in a small New Eneland town in which I chanced to snend a summer about ten years ago.
 at was on the occasion of grand banduet given to the local fire depart ment in recognition of it's services in promptly extinguishing fire which threatened to spread through the whole business center of the town.
 Having number of friends in the department, bought ticket for the hanauet and, as luck would have it, found myself seated next to Bob 0'Far- rell. Now Bob was known far and wide throughout the state as witty and entertaining speaker, and as it was known that he had spent several long evenings in the preparation of an elo- ouent eulogy of the fire department we naturally anticipated fine burst of oratory from the gifted young Irish man.
 But as the dinner proceeded noticed that my neighbor, who was usually the most jovial and even tempered of men. was becoming more and more de- spondent and melancholy, even as the rest of the company grew more noisy and hilarious. suppose it was part of his Irish nature, for with the Ce1ts, you know, laughter and tears lie peril ously close together, and whenever you find genuinely witty Irishman you will find a deep substratum of sadness underlying all his cheery humor.

shocking, why, she Is Trilby and this is the pier and it is only once that one can be young.
 Of course Trnby wears stockings sometimes, long, black stockings that come well above the knees, but very often she doesn't. Sometimes she has well thought out excuses for going barefooted, and sometimes she reasons justly that the sunshine, the dimpling sea, the gay butterfly life are excuses enough in themselves, without more argument.
 The first tirae I saw Trilby she was carled up in the sad under gay blue and white striped tent, expounding learned medical doctrine. The tents, by the way, are feature of Narragan- sett this summer. The long beach is glad with them. Everywhere in front of the rows of bathing pavilions they are pitched in the sand, their red and white and red and yellow striped avn ings shining like warm-hued oriental city from afar.
 Under the canvas of one of the lodges of this bright beach city I found Tril- by. She wore white muslin gown and a blue sash with all the grace of Balti- more. Everybody wears white muslin this summer, but nobody wears it like the tterrapin girl, :" for isn't white mus lin tradition of the beauties of Balti- more? Trilby was explaining: My doctor says that after a winter of so- cial dissipation, when the nerves are overstrained and the whole system needs relaxation, there is no means to secure such complete rest as to take off the stockings and give the feet sun bath for Deveral hours each day"
 Of course looked down. The pink toes weren't getting much of sun bath, for Trilby was new to the doc tors regimen and to the pier; she kept them pretty well hidden, but now and then there was twinkle of something white as she shifted her position or turned leaf of Max Nordau's "De- generacy." Trilby wore no hat, for that is another of her doctors rules, and accounts in part for the sudden growth of the city of tents, though the white sailor, with it's white veil spotted with black, is apt to come out on short

The Apple sme1ler,s Habits.

Apple smellers, or erry-go-rounds, are very interesting insects. They are of an intense shining black in color, and generally school together, moving in circles, with great rapidity, on the surface of the water They are called apple smellers on account of the strong odor they possess, resembling that of apples or quinces, and ry-go-rounds on account of their merry circling mos tions around one another. Young apple smellers live on the bottom of ponds and look like centipedes. When the time comes for them to change into real apple smellers they climb up plant and make small bags of gray paper, into which they fasten them- .elves until they get their swimming legs and shining black new clothes, after which they burst open the paper bags and swim off to join their friends glid- ing so merrily on the surface of the pond. When an apple smeller dives to the bottom of pond to take rest or feed he attaches globule of air to his tail; this he breathes while under water.

HYATTSVILLE,

This town Is very much In need of a
suitable lookup. and the fact Is evidenced
by the turning loose of some tramps, ar
rested under the vagrant laws of the state,
owing to the absence Of a place to keep
them over night. Many of these arrests
are made at an hour when it is impossible
to give the culprits a hearing. and, if con-
victed. transport them to the house of cor
rection the same day. This question is now
engaging the attention of the members of
the Village Improvement Associa ton, and
IL is probable at the next meeting that a
resolution will be adopted calling upon the
commissioners to appropriate sufficient
funds to establish the lookup. 1t is I'M
derst1od. however. that some members of
the board are not favorable to the scheme.
and that they base their objection upon the
fact that the town revenues will not justi-
