For Receptions and Calls.

A carriage toilet pictured is of crepon
in yellow and black Black velvet forms
the bodice, which fastens diagonally, the
square rever tabs of the round neck be-
ing yellow satin under black guipure;
basques, that cover the hips only, are at
tached to q separate belt.
The bodice buttons over satin and
chiffon vest, and the cuff portions of the
dropping puff sleeves are also covered
with black chiffon, shirred. Boa and
muff Alaska sable; hat black velvet
fat with ostrich feathers.
With gown almost the twin sister
of this last one was seen lately a very
handsome cape. 1t was of black velvet
with a shaped, jetted back that fitted
into the figure, the rest hanging loosely
and when laid aside there was a famous
pearl necklace discovered holding up the
lace at the lady'S throat; three rows of
pearls, uncommonly big, and held togeth-
er by diamond slides!
1t was very beautiful, of course, but
in the broad daylight it quite took ones
breath away.
Grey broadcloth, with a vest of white
satin and chinchilla trimmings, composed
the costume with the snug coat and orna-
mental pieces down the front.
The one with the loose coat in box
pleats was of green cloth, the coat being
green velvet with a jetted yoke.
On the skirt fur bands headed with
velvet piping, and black for boa.

cal mind the best suggestions of any 1t

coat with the wonderful fur set, which
is of long-haired stone-marten.

Boas are no longer the modest little
animals that once tickled our fancies.
A boa much in favor is an enormous
black fox, that is commonly worn una
dorned, but may have jeweled eyes, or
be tied at the throat with knots of col
lored velvet. A multiplicity of sable tails
NAL far below the waist, is another. Still
another is a thick rope of Alaska sable
tails that falls almost to the skirt hem,
the tails being held together with ro-
back of the neck quite reaching to the
hat edge. Many os the small boas, the
single skin tippets. have clunps of tiny
black ostrich feathers placed behind each
ear.
This makes a most becoming back
ground for the face; and besides its de-
STABILITY, such a boa is quite within the
bounds of modest purses.

The average amateur is rather afraid
to undertake this sort of church work,
on the score of the cost and the skill
required, but a beautiful pair of ribbon
markers for the Bible and hymn book,
on the reading desk of a Presbyterian
church, can be made at the outlay of
only So. A yard and three-fourths Of
heavy corded silk ribbon two and a
half inches wide will be needed. This

such lengths that the markers will

year ago a breast-knot of real flow

ment, consistent with good taste, for a
street gown. Now earrings are coming
in again, long affairs with tinkling bits
of gold that touch the shoulders, and if
you are lucky enough TO own a pearl
necklace of several strings. it is quite
the proper caper to wear it around the
high neck of your carriage frock. Then
there are jeweled waIch-chains that hang
long around the neck, and that are more
delicate and ravishing than mere mag
iDation can picture. The chain of these
is Of gold or platinum in delicate hair
links. This is set all along with gems

SILVER DOWNED.
The Iowa Democratic Convention De-
clares for Sound MOney---A NOta-
bic Convention

Marshalltown, Iowa, August 7.-One
of the most notable State Conventions
in the history of the Iowa Democracy
closed in this city this evening. Since
Monday there has been a bitter strife
between the opposing elements of the
party-one contend.ng for a ticket and
platform on a sound money" basis;
the other clamoring for free coinage,
without waiting for an international
agreement. From start 10 finish the
white metal contingency did nearly all
the talking on the street. in hotel lob
b.es. at various headquarters, in COM
mittee rooms, caucuses and finally on
the floor of the convention. BY an ap-
parently fOrtutious incident, the silver
men had a fine chance to exploit their
views in convention hall during the af-
ternoon, from the fact that the resolu-
tions committee got into a wrangle on
the financial plank that kept them in
the committee room until 4 o'clock. the
currency resolution being overhauled
and reconstructed two or three times
before an agreement was reached. and
the majority making persistent efforts
to avent the introduction of the minor
ity report During this interval. the
convention did nothing but listen to
free silver speeches by radical white
metal champions. The opponents of
free silver preserved silence. except
that Ca'O Sells mad a short talk of a
cOnciliatOry character. The contro-
yersy grew warm and bitter, and when
the minority report favoring free coin
age, was introduced another prolonged
silver discussion was precipitated and
for while the proceedings were
tumultuOus. The final roll call on the
| resolutions showed the white metal
crowd defeated by a vote of 651k TO
42O19. A mighty shout mingled with
| grOans, Kisses and anathemas followed
the announcement of the result. A
large number of free silver delegates
Immediately left the hall, not waiting
for nominations
The State ticket was then nominated
