Some New Fancy Waists.

Among the countless natty and
comfortable fancy waists of the
summer, to be worn with mohair,
shepherd check or cheviot skirts,
are models formed of cool, light
china silk on small warp printed
Persian, Dresden and like pretty
designs. Some of the waists are
made with deeply pointed yoke
front and back that is laid in fine
tucks. This yoke is outlined at
the edge with a band of narrow
gimp, and below this the waist falls
like blouse on the front, but is
trinity fitted at the back and fastens
there on very youthful wearers.
The forearm of the sleeve is tight
fitting, with a very full Queen
Anne puff at the top. Capes of
every dainty description maintain
their own vigorously against the
innovations fashion would intro
duce. The very smartest shoulder
capes are formed of black Brussels
net or mousseline de sole over silk
or satin, with appliques of rich lace
as finish, and the edges are com
pleted by frill of glace silk or
satin matching the foundation. A
full ruche of net or mousseline de
sole edged with rows of tiny satin
ribbon is carried around the neck
and very often down the front.
Sleeveless jackets are enumerated
in the list of summer garments. 1t
is curious that the sleeveless Jackets
should have come in just when
very full sleeves are going out. A
year or six months ago even we
should hailed with great pleasure
any sort of a sleeveless garment
that was designed to be worn above
the bodice. Now it has sort of a
day after-the-fa fair reception.

Two things, above all others, be-
tray the inelegant or unaccustomed
letter writer. If she be guilty of
neglecting the margin at each side
of the page, or she SO far forgets
her precepts as to add P. S., she
is forever doomed. Society is exact
in details, and society declares such
omission or commission to be the
objectionable sin. The note, to be
correct, must be written upon
paper of medium size, preferably
cream white, and must be clear and
distinct. The monogram is stamped
on the paper, or the crest, if one
have the right; but upon the in
side of the flap Of the envelope must
be the address. When the writer
has borne all these facts in mind,
and has signed her unabbreviated
name, she may rest content, for
even the most captious critic will
not have cause to find fault.

Useful Recipes.

ALMOND ICING.-WhiteS of three
eggs whisked to a standing froth;
three-fourths of a pound of pow
defed sugar, one-half pound of
sweet almonds, blanched and pow
dered to paste. When beaten
fine and smooth, work gradually
into the icing. Flavor with lemon
juice and rose water. This is
delicious.
SNowDRIFT CAKE.-Two cups OF
powdered sugar, one heaping cup
of prepared flour, ten eggs, the
whites only, whipped stiff; juice of
one lemon and half the grated peel;
a little salt. Whip the eggs stiff,
beat in the sugar, lemon and salt,
and finally the flour. Stir in very
lightly and quickly and bake at
once in two loaves. This is delicious
when fresh.
A. CHOICE SALAD.-A choice
salad for q company luncheon is
made from sweetbreads and cucum-
bers. Soak pair of sweetbreads
in cold sailed water for three
quarters of an hour, then cook until
tender in boiling water containing
a teaspoonful Of vinegar and a half
teaspoonful of salt. After taking
from the fire, drop minute into
cold water to harden, cut out the
pipes and cut the breads into small
pieces. Set away in the refrigera-
tor and when ready to serve mix
with two cold cucumbers cut in
very thin slices. Dress with may
onnaisc and serve on a bed of
lettuce, in the halves of cubumbers
followed out for cases, or in the
centre of tomatoes.
RASPBERRY -Strew
fine bread crumbs or grated cracker
over the bottom of a pudding dish,
and also, as adroitly as possible,
keep q rim round the sides of the
dish as it is filled. Add few bits
of sweet butter, and fill with rasp-
berries. (Currants may be sub
stituted, or blackberries in their
season. Cover lightly with the
buttered crumbs and bake about
half an hour. Serve very cold with
cream. Or make a few slices of
dry buttered toast, cut very thin
and carefully toasted to golden
brown without scorching. Stew
the berries gently until very soft,
sweeten to taste, and pour boiling
hot over the toast. To be eaten
cold with cream. Simple as these
arrangements are, the result is ex-
cellent, highly relishing, dainty
and wh0lnSoma

To Clean Hair Brushes.

Ammonia and water have long
been regarded the staple cleansing
fluids for hair brushes. But this
treatment, though satisfactory
enough as far as cleaning is con-
cerned, is ruinous to the bristles,
sottening and eventually destroying
them. A better method is to rub
them in dry Indian meal until the
oil and dust are completely removed
from the brush.

Clean, beautiful ice always gives
one refreshed feeling. A large
cut glass dish filled high with gilt
tering Jumps of ice and trailing
green sprays and vines, with a few
blossoms in and about the ice and
hanging over the sides, is a delight
full centre piece for any luncheon
table on a warm day, and within
the reach Of every one. Ice blocks
and plates to serve various things
upon are not especially new, but
the ices are made to assume almost
decorative effect On the table, so
cleverly are they moulded into
flowers and devices of all kinds.
Roses made of ices are served with
branch of leaves. Gala lilies of
creams laid upon natural lily leaves
are very deceiving, they are so true
to nature.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Never put gloves away while they
are moist.

Never put gloves away while they
are moist.
New handkerchiefs are shown
largely in biscuit brown.
The Able cravat is quite the
latest thing in neck fxings.
Brilliant green and deep rose
shirt fronts should not be worn by
washed out blonde masculines.
Some summer blankets are made
Of canton flannel. They are met
with largely at hotels along the
coast and in the mountains.
Ankle bracelets are seen above
some of the smart Oxford ties worn
by women of ultra fashionable ideas.
The fad is too suggestive of French
poodle decoration to be adopted by
women Of really good taste.
Dressing is less of a problem
since a couple of skirts and a
number of fanciful waists will make
any woman presentable, where
oftentimes it took half a dozen
complete costumes to make her in
the least degree tolerable.
One word on gloves. The craze
for wearing white kid gloves on all
occasions is now over, and people OF
good taste and style are now wear
ing the pale shades of straw, pearl,
gray or mastic. White gloves
make the hand look large, and give
the effect of those worn at village
wedding.
A great deal of attention is given
to neck dressing. A novelty is a
very wide, handsome collar of en-
broidery, mounted on a stiff founda-
ton. This rolls back from the
neck, which is cut out in small
V in front, the ends being pushed
back under the wide, square points
of the collar, and fastened by hand
some stick pins.
The general idea is, for evening
wear, short skirts, Or only slightly
long, either plain or with tabliers,
and sometimes the seams trimmed,
all kinds and descriptions of bodices,
some with points, others round,
with bands, deep corselets, small
boleros, cut low, either round OF
square; the sleeves showing the
arms are either short puffs OF
caught upon the shoulder, or a
shoulder strap only, with a bunch
of flowers.

CarlisIe's Axiorls Spoiled.

Mr.. Carlisle in one of his speeches
delivered himself of five so-called
axioms, which the gold press in the
East is circulating as something
profound and unanswerable. They
are as follows:
1. There is not a free coinage
country in the world to-day that is
not on silver basis.
2. There is not a gold standard
country in the world to-day that
does not use silver money along
with gold.
3. There is not a silver standard
country in the world to-day that
uses any gold along with silver.
4. There is not a silver standard
country in the world to-day that
has more than one-third of the cir
culation per capita that the United
States has.
5. There is not a silver standard
country in the world to-day where
the laboring man receives fair pay
for his days work.
We will offset those five with
six others:
/. There is not one free coinage
country in the world to-day that is
not enjoying unexampled prosper.
ity, the only drawback being a
foreign debt contracted on the gold
basis.
2. There is not a gold standard
country in the world to-day the
property of which has not shrunk-
en- from 35 to 60 per cent during
the last 81 years; not one in which
there is not unexampled depression,
distress and sorrow.
3. There is not a silver standard
country in the world to-day that
has any need of gold money except
to settle foreign balances, and there
is not a gold standard country in
all the world to-day that the bulk
of all the gold is not locked up in
the treasury or in the banks, and
the people are suffering from
'sound money" asphyxia.
4. There is not silver standard
country in the world to-day where
there are any idly deposits lying in
the banks, all the money being in
active circulation and drawing
large interest, and the circulation
per capita in the United States of
real money is just about what it is
In Mexico, nearly all the money of
ultimate redemption being hid away
in the vaults of the treasury and
National banks.

How to Utilize Old Carpets.

A good floor covering may be
made from an old Brussels carpet.
Nail it loosely wrong side up to an
attic floor, and paint with a thick
coat oflinseed oil and burnt lumber.
Let it dry thoroughly, and then
cover with a coat of good varnish.
When it has stood for a week or
more it can be scrubbed or washed
like any oilcloth. Tack it closely
where it is to be used, for it need
not be taken up for many years.
AS the paint and varnish wear off,
renew them, and thus it will last
four times as long as common oil
cloth.

"To such an unholy end we will
not lend ourselves. Dear as has
been the republican name to us
adherents, that name is not so dear
as the faith itself. And we do not
sacrifice one jot or title of the
mighty principles by which repub-
licanism has uplifted the world
when we say that at the parting of
the ways we cling to the faith, let
the name go where it will. We
hold that this convention has seced-
ed from the truth; that the triumph
of such secession would be the
eventual destruction of our freedom
and our civilization. To that end
the people will not knowingly fol-
low any political party; and we
choose to take our place in the
ranks of the great mass of citizens
who realize that the hour has come
for Justice. Did we deem this issue
less important to humanity we
would yield, since the associations
of all our political lives have been
intertwined with the men and the
measures of this party of past
mighty achievements. But the
people cry aloud for relief; they are
bending beneath burden growing
heavier with the passing hours;
endeavor no longer brings its just
reward; fearfulness takes the place
of courage and despair usurps the
throne of hope; and unless the laws
Of the country, and the policies of
political parties shall be converted
into mediums of redress, the effect
of human desperation may some
time be witnessed here as in other
lands and In other ages.
"Accepting the fiat of this con-
vention as the present purpose of
the party we withdraw from this
convention to return our constitu-
ents the authority with which they
invested us, believing that we have
better discharged their trust by
this action which restores to them
authority unsullied than by giving
cowardly and insincere Endorsement
to the greatest wrong ever willfully
attempted within the republican
party-once redeemer of the people,
but now about to become their
oppressor, unless providentialiy re-
strained by the votes of free men,"
This document was signed by
Senators Teller, or Colorado; Du-
bois, of Idaho, and Cannon, of
Utah; Congressman Hartman, Of
Montana, and Mr.. Cleveland, of
Nevada, as the representatives of
their respective States on the Com
mittee on Resolutions.
