this was raised in three festoons under
narrow velvet ribbon, with three fat TO
settles at the junction of the silk with the
perforated crepon sleeve. On the top was
a full bow with bat wing ends.
The full fancy vest to be worn with
handsome Eton jackets continues to be
popular, and every new visit to the stores
shows something new in that line. The
prettiest one that have seen this week
was of white silk muslin fulled down the
front and left in little frill below the belt.
Across the front at the waist line was
full belt with shirrings at the sides. Down
each side the silk muslin was laid fiat
band of lace over pink silesia. In fact, the
whole vest body was of the silesia. There
was a very full stock collar with shirringS
at the sides and a fall of lace reaching to
the middle. This was to be worn with an
Elton of faience blue velvet.
/ think never saw such surprising com
binations Of color as there are now. Salm-
on and old rose are put with the most
brilliant purple, and purple and old gold,
maize and green are seen everywhere. Blue
and prune, blue and pink, scarlet, and green
are all seen this season. You can put green
and scarlet together, too, if you like, and
it goes. Pale blue and pale rose pink are
pretty together, and scarlet and dark blue.
So are crimson and French gray.
i saw some small fancy capes in one
place The foundation was silk, and upon
that were three or four narrow ruff1es of
black lace. The yoke and plastron in front
were one mass of garish gilt tinsel, with
rows of silver and copper spangles set
along the center OF the patterns. Some
small velvet capes had collars made OF
white lace cut in deep vandyke points, the
pattern in the lace being outlined with sill
yer and gilt spangles. The effect was not
fine, but many persons appeared to admire
it. 1 noticed one very neat and genteel
cape. 1t was of fine black broadcloth and
had a second cape over it, which fastened
under the collar and could be removed II
necessary. The collar turned down and
was bound with silk braid. The adjusta-
BILE collar was slaShed in the middle of the
back, and that and the lower part had
three rows of black silk braid each, sewed
on by hand. The rest was tailor finished.
Some of these little capeS are so wide and
lined so stiff1y that they stand out far
wider than the sleeves One that was made
in this manner was short and extremely
wide. In the godet hollows were set fussy
little rosettes The collar was made of
series of loops of ribbon, and there were
two loops with piquets of heavy jet. This
cape was of leather colored cloth, and the
ribbon was of the same shade.
The new collars and cuffs for summer
wear are made of white linen and are deep
and have square corners. Some or the col
lars have one ruffle of lace or embroidery
around the edge and others have n ruffie
in the middle. Many are or striped ging-

HOME AND ABROAD.

1t is the duty Of everyone. whethe,
at home or travelling for pleasure OF
business, to equip himself with the
remedy which will keep up strength
and prevent illness, and cure such Ills
as are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance, Hoods Sarsa-
parllla as general tonic, and to keen
the blood pure and less liable to absorb
the germs OF disease, Will be we'll nigh
Invaluable. Change of drinking water
often causes serious trouble, especially
II one has been used to spring water in
the country. From few drops to a
teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsaparilla in a
tumbler OF water will prevent the wa
ter having any injurious effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a cathar-
tic, cause no discomfort, nor disturb
ance, no loss Of sleep, but assist the di-
gestlve organs, SO that satisfactory re-
suits are effected IN a natural and reg

ARE THEY SATISFAC Glory?

In SATURDAYS Charlotte Observer the
following queries appeared with their
answers by the editor Of that paper.
We print them and ask If any OF our
readers can improve on the answers In
a few lines to each
To the Editor Of Obserr>r
Believing that you are printing pa
per for the interest OF the people Of our
State, ask for information on the
three following questions
% Why did not the price Of cotton
advance until very nearly all OF 1t was
out of the hands of the farmers
% What is the reason the price OF
cotton warns does not advance as much
as the price Of cotton?
(3) Why Is it that we hear OF wages
being advanced almost everywhere ex-
cept IN the South? SUBSCRIBER.
III For wears it has been noticed
that the nearer the end OF the cotton
season approaches, the higher the price
goes. This is not always but Is very
frequently the case and the fact IS gen
orally charged to manipulation OF the
market. though we do not know wheth-
er this is true or not
Ga We cannot answer this question
satisfactorily. 1t is very often the case
that the price of a finished product
does not respond Immediately to eth
er an advance or decline in the price
OF the raw material, and vice versa.
For instance, few years ago 1t was a
matter of common remark that while
the price of cotton was declining the
price Of cotton goods held right up.
They finally began falling, however,
and continued to do so until a parity
was established.
CD Wages we're not reduced in the
South during the panic and the sue
ceeding period Of depression to the ex-
tent that they were in other sections.
Indeed, the instances OF reduction were
comparatively very few. Besides, as
the South was the last section to feel
the panic, it might be argued that nat
urally 1t VIII be the last to recover from
it.
