in Paris eau de cologne hegemonienne is
much liked, but then every month a new
discovery is made in this direction, and
for the moment it is considered correct to
use it; however, this particular cologne is
of especial excellence, so order bottle if
you visit that gay capital.
Among the latest arrivals from Paris are
the transparent velvet dotted linons,
blue de France, rose-roi mordores orchid
mauve; Dluet and apple-green are among
the colors. Tremendously expensive are
the hand-embroidered linons in floral col
orings and designs as well as real lace in
sertions. Less expensive linons are to be
had in plaids, which show chic combina-
tions of colors, which are both stylish and
becoming. MARcELLA.

make any pretensions to dressing, are in
their dinner jackets or evening coats.
When in evening dress men never are
seen without the crush or opera hat.
During this summer the round-toed boot
Will entirely take the place of the pointed
ones, and no well-dressed man will make
the mistake of wearing the old style.
Black walking boots will be most correct,
but the russell will be seen occasionally in
the country, but they have gone out of
style.
Cycling, golf and tennis suits are IN
great vogue and can be worn until the
dinner hour.
Light gray trousers are always worn
with black frock coat.
Trousers are quite full, but not in the
least baggy, and must have no perceptible
spring.
The straw hats have narrower brims
this season and high crowns.
An authority gives this valuable infor-
nation:
Yachting - Blue coats and white duck
trousers or blue flannel suits will remain, as
ever, popular with yachtsmen.
a new English yachting rig is OF blue serge.
Inc coat is single-breasted, after the cut of a
reeier, made TO fit rather loosely. Three
pockets. Length of garment, twenty-nine
inches. -Four buttons, square cut. The double

designated by braid on sleeves.
Tennls-Tennis trousers are cut wide and
long. The jacket is cut. with a whole back,

Inc materials are flannel, striped and plain,

Golt-GoH club uniforms embrace simply
the coat, which is made of red cloth, with in

usually OF tweed or Scotch goods, but some
English clubs have made them of white fam
mel, which contrasts well with red coat.
In midsummer popular goifing suit is

In England a coat in shape like our old
cutaway, having long tails, the skirt being
narrow at the bottom, is very popular
for morning wear. 1t is made of vicuua or
cheviot. AS yet this fashion is not in vogue
In this country, but is en- route. Decid-
edly smart is the double-breasted French
coat with three buttons. The lapels are
pointed, and in width are about two
inches wide at the bottom and two and
quarter at the top. The silk facings ex-
tend to the ends of the buttonholes. The
long and full skirts are things OF the past,
and the present frock Is decided i'm
provement, being shapely If rectangular.
A dull black surface cloth with slight
twill is most fashionable. 1t should reach
just little below the knee. The shoulder
must be broad and the skirts are square.
For frock coats are also being made of
rough and mixed goods, gray, gray pinhead
checks and brown mixtures in rough fa-
brics. The trousers are of the same, and
waistcoats may match, although fancy
waistcoats are more generally seen. With
frock coat suits of brown, white kid gloves
with black stitching, white or brown spats,
the latter in better taste, patent-leather
walking boots and silk hat are worn.
East boys of 10 years and over wear in
the evening Tuxedo coats, black silk stock
| ings or loose patent-leather pumps, dress
shirt, black satin tie and waistcoat OF the
same material as the coat.
For the evening the smartest men are
wearing white double breasted waistcoats,
which have narrow collar, are low "U"
shaped, and have three buttons.
Evening shirts are made with two but
tonholes, and either pearl or enamel but
tons are used. The collar is straight, tall
and stand-up, and white tie OF plain,
pure white linen, cambria or null much
starched is always seen tied in a square
bow shape.
The ends are square. Sometimes white
pique ties are seen, but they must be abso-

to hold the bodice in place. The bodice
has full ripple surrounding it. The I'm
ing is of green silk. Only tall, slender
women look we'll when large revers are
worn.
A stylish visiting-d dress has just been
made of a reseda habit it-cloth-and what
do you think of a dinner-gown com posed
of the richest sky-blue satin, lined with
lilac silk2 The com Dination is assuredly
novel; The bodice is of "miroir velvet,
arranged in flutes over stomacher of
monds." This frock is excellent, but even
more do l admire one having scarf of
gorgeous old gray brocade, covered with
black-and-white pattern, and basque
jacket, fastened with rare old cut-silver
buttons. The tucked sleeves, yoke and
hchu are of ivory crepe de chine. Another
vlsltlng-gown is of moss-green lace cloth.
with fetching little coat, which is double
breasted and fastened with three large and
beautifully jeweled buttons. Collar and
vest are of white cloth embroidered in
green and gold. The deep collar and cuffs
have an edging of the white cloth en-
broidered well.
For everyday wear blouses of bandana
silk with vivid Oriental colorlngs are
recommended to schoolgirls as being very
chic with almost any dark skirt-they are
so much more becoming than plaids
Some OF the prettlest sleeves lately seen
form point over the hand and are ruffied
well above the elbow, where they are
drawn into becoming puffs.
How desirable are the Persian taffeta
handkerchief The Oriental colorings
and designs are in the highest sense ar
tistic and their foundations are brilliant
and changeable. Small wonder that they
are the dernier cri for trimming the smart
est of bodices and are as yet an exclusive
mode.
So greatly in vogue are shirt waists that

through which runs an lnfnitesimal strip

linen.
Among the latest styles in gloves are
white kid with black stitching and a
turn-back cuff of black suede. Some
white and lavender kids have simply
novel black stitching. White gloves with
ventilated tan palms are liked by many

Out of black and white mohair has been
volved a stylish costume. The coat is
close fitting and double breasted, with
revers of black satin edged with a pretty
fancy braid; from below these extend

pattern adorn the front. The cuffs con-

bodice fits closely and has haring revers

with guipure lace, which is embroidered
with bright green sequins. The narrow
cuffs carry out the same idea. Two but

to the style, and belt of the same appears

THE DOG TOOK HOLD.

L. w. Armstrong Wants the Value OF
Torn Clothes and Damages.
+. w. Armstrong is suing Charles A.
Davis for $5732 30 damages for injuries.
In his complaint he alleges that the de-
fendant on the S0th of May, 1885, was the
owner of large and vicious dog, which
was permitted to roam freely upon the
public streets, the owner being at all times
aware of the vicious tendencies of the ami
NAL. On the day mentioned the plaintiff
happened TO meet the defendants dog,
and at.once the dog proceeded to exercise
his vicious tendencies. The inventory of
damages is as follows: Medical attention
and medicines, SIPS; loss of personal prop
erty, TO wit, pantaloons, $6; loss of per-
sonal properly, TO wit, underwear, 81 so;

gence, $4,000.

Insurgents Burn Conee Plantations.

HAVANA, Aug, 26. 1T is reported here
that the insurgents recently burned over
thirty coffee ana cocoa plantations in the
province of Santiago de Cuba. Among
the larger plantations burned were the
splendid estates of Aurora, Sempatia and
Dolorita. 1t is estimated that more than
one million dollars worth of property was
destroyed. These estates were owned by
French citizens who were not sympathizers
with the insurgents, but who have re-
manned neutral from the commencement
of the troubles in Cuba.
