The Latest in Gowns.

We are again in transition period as
far as styles of making gowns, and there
are no radical changes. Variety there
is, of course. in abundance: for fabrics
of every description We're never more
varied or beautiful. Sleeves are still
enorme, but they are no longer stiffened
to look like balloons. The fullness is
confined to the upper part of the arm,
and the modiste exercises her ingenuity
i'll draping it so that as many yards of
material as possible can be gracefully
arranged to fall from the shoulder For
dinner and evening gowns the sleeves
extend only halfway to the elbows.
where the long, lose gloves meet them;
these should not fit tightly. but wrinkle
all the way up the arm, and the newest
expand widely above the elbows, re-
Winding one forcibly of the old cavalier
boot tops.
Skirts of gowns are severely plain, but
as full and ripping as heretofore; and
the latest word from Paris is that posi-
lively no stiffening is used. The fabrics
employed for rich gowns are really too
exquisite to admit of any trimming: and
are all silk lined, the taffetas employed
for the purpose having sufficient body to
hold the rippling folds out gracefully.
Some gowns of satin or crepon which are
cut in narrow breadths with many seams
have vine of Spangle embroidery or

chiffon or ribbon running up every seam:

DOMINIC n Veil

1t is an accomplishment worth acquir-
ing in these days when American wOm-
en- fore abroad almost universally yelled
MS the beauties of the orient, to put ones
veil on successfully. that is so that the
hair is held securely in position, the veil
itself does not droop below the hat brim
at any point, and neither hangs loose
nor draws across the face. rendering a
wink incOnvenient and the nose a martyr
to the tickling sensation which every
wearer of u veil knows. Half the beauty
of the veil, or, more strictly, the enhance
ment of beauty which the veil gives. is
due to the way it is put on. Worse thar
no veil at all is the veil put on before
the bonnet is assumed as one fashion
writer recommends. The filing mcsfes,
pressed closely against the face and hair
leave Ito room for the charming illusOry
effect which is the wells chief excuse
for being" The first requirement in a
veil is that is shall be of unstinted size
double width, unless it is to be worn
with a very small bonnet a yard long,
so that it may be gathered up in gener-
GUS folds over the hat brm and pinned
"a veil should never be tied-well up
at the back of the hat. A better fit and
a prettier effect is given by little
cluster of gathers directly in the middle
of the front. 1t is to be hoped that wom-

The Longest Penny Ride.

The greatest distance to be covered
for 4 penny appears to be on the line
of the North London railway, where
the special workingmen's train carries
passengers six miles for the humble
penny. On the North Metropolitan
Tramway company's line a distance of
the same sum- This line belongs to the
largest tramway company in the metrop-
oils, which owns forty-one miles of train
lines. Travelling by tramcar increases
every year. The total capital expended
in tramway construction in the kingdom
is close upon 100000 sterling with
more than 1000 miles open for traffic
Twenty seven thousand horses, over 500
locomotives and 300 cars are employed
in working the lines. The receipts aver
