SOME SEASIDE GOWNS.

There does not seem to be anything per-
ticularly new in the seaside dresses
which are the only arguments in which
any novelty can be expected at this time
of year. The very pretty lawn fronts
that have been popular during the sum-
mer are now being applied to serge coats
and tighten them up with a considerable
elegance that would once have been con-
sidered incongrous. Coat and skirt is
the prevailing style, and, of course cot
ton blouseS are the most usual addition;
but for a smarter promenade costume, or
for the mild yachting in sight of land
that is all that many women care TO go
in for, some more dressy adjuncts
in vests and collars are permissible. In
one dress, made by first-ciass ladies'
tailor, the bodice and skirt were of blue
serge, the coat fastening 10y one con-
cealed hook at the waist and having no
basque, but rather long tails at the
back; from the waist it was cut abruptly
open and a lawn shirt in may tucks
appeared. The square revers were faced
with white cloth and widened into a
corresponding sailor collar at the back.
In another place serge made the coat
and skirt, and the square, stiff revera
were faced with white, edged around
with gold braid, while three little gold
buttons in line along the top of the
revers also decorated it at each side.
The vest was of pale blue flannel and
fastened up in front with tiny gold but
tons. In another case a smarty cut
short-basqued blue serge coat had very
wide square revers of fawn edged round
with white, two big fawn-colored but
tons decorating the coat near the waist,
just beneath the bottom side Of the
revers; a white stiff shirt was to be worn
with it, as a rue; but full vest of
fawn silk was also supplied.
A cream coiored serge coat had the
bottom of the basque bound round with
pale blue, which also was continued up
to the throat and round the deep sailor
collar; the costume was finished by
vest of white flannel, arranged in box
plait at the front, this being piped at
either side with blue, as was the high
collar of the vest. In another rather
original dress the blue serge bodice, c.ose
fitting to the figure, the vest oeing on
the same lining, was drawn together at
the waist line, but Immediately sloped
though very slowly and slightly, open to
the bust, the cut thence to the throat
being more abrupt, between wide reyers;
the center was filed in with c.ose
p.aited vest Of soft. blue silk, hooking
down the front invisibiy, and the revers
were covered with guipure lace; four
large buttons covered with blue silk were
set at each side of the opening from
waist to bust, and the bodice was com
pleted by a separate bask put on round
the waist pointed in front and cut up
over the hips. This dress had bishop
sleeves vita lace cuffs.-Elustrated Lon

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.

A distinguished specialist, says the
American Practitioner, has carefully
noted the difference between twelve
families of temperate persons during
twelve years, with the result that he
found that the twelve drinking families
produced in. those twelve years fifty
seven children, while the temperate ones
were accountable for sixty-one or the
drinkers, twenty-five children died in the
first week of life, as against six on the
other side The latter deaths were from
weakness, while the former were attrib-
utabie to weakness, convulsive attacks,
or oedema of the brane and membranes.
To this cheerful record is added FIVE who
who were idiots five were so stunted in
growth as to really be dwarfs; FIVE, when
older, became epileptics; one, boy, had
grave chorea, ending in idiocy; five more
were diseased and deformed, and two OF
the epilepties became, by inheritance,
drinkers. Ten only of the tifty-seven
showed during life normal disposition and
development of mind and body. Fifty
Of the children of temperate families
were normal in every way.

WHY PATTI SANG.

Nine. Patti, in the current number of
Cassell's Magazine, gives an interesting
account of her first appearance. Mis-
fortune had fallen on the family, and at
last the day came when she could bear
her fathers troubled face no longer.
Don't sell your beautiful turquoise pin
to hep US" she said. II will help you.
Let me be little singer"
The father frowned on the idea, but
his objection was of no use. The little
madam gave no peace to her family until
her appearance at Niblo's Gardens as a
prima donna OF seven summers was an
accomplished fact.
She made a great hit From that time
money poured in and there was not a
prouder heart in all New York than hers
when a cozy red brick house was bought
with her earnings and her whole family
installed there.
