I his skirt was made with five cores and
one straight back piece, counting the front
breadth as one gore The sleeves We're
very tight clear to the shoulder, and then,
as if ashamed of their baroness, they dis
creetly hid themselves under shirring OF
dotted net, with a most remarkable dou-
bic ruflle of black silk null starting from
the elbow and reaching to the wrists. This
had srnnglcs seWed along the edges and
hung out like dorsal fins MISPLACED. Above
these, at the very shoulder, was most
ungainly puff of the MORE, its stiff folds
held in place Ey jet trimming. The back
Of the waist was in one piece of the MORE.
The front was made of blac! silk null set
on in n remarkable fashion. 1t was made
of several strips of accordion plating done
on the bias, and these strips were stretched
to their utmost and sewed together, so that
when left to fall back again into the plaits
1t gave the material sort of chevron effect
that was very novel. The collar was "a band
of flax blue satin headed with beading and
edged with "A very fun ruff of embroidered
silk null. From the upper edge of the
collar there were long strings of beaded
passementeric, and there was a belt of
black velvet ribbon, with ends reaching to
the foot of the skirt and fastening under
rOsettes This gown was very generally
admired. And, oh, the fcklcness of wom-

of blue taffeta laid in five folds each fas-
tened by an imitation turquoise button.
| Over this was simulated figaro of white
faille, deliberately sewed with blue and gilt
spangles. The sleeves were of the pale blue
taffeta, with shirred puffs of the silk null.
There were quaint square rundown cuffs

KENTUCKY COFFEE,



Kentucky coffee is likely to appear in
our home markets. One good sized crop
has been raised in the Blue Grass State
and next year the experiment is to be tried
OF n larger scale. The Rev. Jacob New
land, an odd school Baptist" preacher liv-
Ing at HammGck, Garrard county, Is the
pioneer coffee raiser OF Kentucky. Last
year hc planted exactly 1850 grains. 1t was
wholly an experiment, hut the coffee bushes
came up, grew with wonderful rapidity
and put forth pods which were filled with
the aromatic beans. When he came to har-
vest his crop, he found that his 100 beans
had yielded him five pccks of coffee, more
than enough to supply mis- whole family
for the entire year
AS Mr.. Rowland lvcs in one of the re-
mote and most inaccessible parts of Car
rard county, it was somo time before the
news of his novel crop was circulated be-

bonnet 1t would he quite suitable for many
evening occasions 1t would be particu-
larly suitable for bridesmaid.
The full and dropping effects Of the
blouse arc seen again as among the fash
ionable styles, but those shown so far are
not so pronounced as they have been nor
so full. The waist is simple gathered one
in the hnck, and the front only droops in
the center, the sides even being fitted.
The blouse is peculiarly adapted for the
young A pretty model was exhibited in
red serge The skirt of the gown was one
of the circular forms and was quite plain,
not even stitched. The back of the waist
was slightly fulled at the center There
was plastron front in blouse shape of the
same serge This was trimmed with mar
row gilt braid sewcd with faceted gilt beads
no larger than ordinary pinheads, and both
sides had fine, small, gilt buttons. The col
lar was sewed with the braid and beads
and had cream colored bow of ribbon at
the back The sleeves were dropping gigots
with upturned cuffs A wide belt of black
grosgrain, with gilt buckles completed the
gown. 1t is really model one, though red
is not always the most desirable color.
Wide polerine lace collars are put upon
many of the handsome gowns. These col
lars are llatand circular not quite meeting
in front. Sometimes they are made Of silk
or muslin and bOrdered with lace, but they
are always quaint and pretty Lace and

such color and material as to harmonize
with almost anything The plain velvet
sleeves in different dark colors may lie set
in the woollen gowns
Let me tell of two more gowns, both Gle
CANT and tasteful one was a walking or
visiting dress of nile green ladies Goth,
smooth and fine. Around the bottom there
was n narrow spanish ruflle of the same.
The skirt was tight fitting around the
hips. The waist was gathered top and bot
tom after the fashion of the cotton dresses
OF the past season. There was a threelold
swiss girdle of changeable taffeta silk in a
light green and russell, with a windmill
ribbon bow of the same shade The sleeves
were tight nearly to the shoulders where
there was a stiff puff of the same. At the
wrists and neck were frills of the same rib
bon. Across the shoulders was fiat pei
crime cape Of yellow guipure lace, lined
with dark red surah This pelerne had a
box plated friil of the changeable ribbon
There was dainty little bonnet to match
this gown, as there is to match nearly ev-
cry dress of any pretensiOns. The two
shades of green, the russell red and yellow
lace all harmonic perfectly. Other colors
would naturally be as pretty if well chosen.
The other dress | mentioned was of very
ll'fuildI htHiEH anu WIS calico very smart
1t was of the new roughish gray cheviot,
the skirt being cut so that the fullness was
evenly distributed all around. There was
sorU of basque of brocaded black and gray
and green satin. This was cut in four
very deep Nandyke points The high col
lar was of the bcocado. The sleeves were
fair sized leg o. muttons, with brocade
Vandyke inScts at the shoulders, and cuffs
also of the brocade. In the front there
were two plaits of cheviot, made narrow at
the bust line and flaring widely at the bot.
tom. They hung loose from the top to
about ten inches below the waist where
they We're fastened to the skirt. The effect
was very graceful. 1t was intended for
the street. A pretty bonnet of black vel.
vet and gray pearl beads and two aigrets
was made to wear with it. An elegant
house gown had this same kind of folds
down the fronts This dress was of garnet
and black dotted foulard Between the
folds in front was double cascade of
cream lace and also at each side was a
single cascade. The back was laid in fat
folds, with lace between The sleeves were
bishop shape, with lace frills aud epaulets,
and there was "a pierrot ruflle at the neck
1t must have required 100 yards of lace for
this dress.
Among other new things, see gauntlet
gloves of every kind, from glazed kid to
fleece lined wooden ones, All gloves are to
be chosen at least one size larger than they
have been worn. Wrinkles on the knuo-
kles are now the guinea stamp"

THE LEWIS INSTITUTE.
Founded With the Fortune of Chicago
Real Estate Spectator.

In the heart Of Chicagos West side has
been erected n much needed temple of
learning which is to supply the gap be
tween the high school and the university
1t is known as Lewis institute, and it is
meant for the uses of young men ard
women who desire practical education
and cannot afford the luxury of classical
training.
The founder Of Lewis institute was AL
len c. Lewis, shrcwd New Englander
who went to Chicago more than 40 years
ago and accumulated comfortable for
tune by real estate speculations. In 1870
he removed to New York and died there in
1887, leaving will by which his entire
estate of $500 600 was to be used in estab-
fishing in Chicago just such school as
has recently been dedicated there
BY the terms OF the will the estate was
to be kept intact until it amounted to
$500, 600, when the school was to be estab-
lished. The various trustees who had
charge of the property and were intrusted
with carrying out the work met with OBJ
stacles which delayed the enterprise, so
that now, nearly 20 years after the will
was made, its provisions are realized. In
the meantime the property has increased
in value until 10 amounts 10 81 600 900. OF
this sum $3.50, 600 was expended in the
purchase of IL lot, on which handsome
buildings were erected Mt cost of $3.50,
900. There now remains about l,OOO,-

The Hotel Armada.

In the new Hotel Almada recently opened at Guaymas, by M. Marche- bout, formerly of the Hotel Cosmo- polita, the travelling public are offered one of the finest and best appointed hotels to be found anywhere , in Mexico. The rooms are all large, airy and well ventilated, very cool and pleasant in hot weather, and elegant ly furnished The dining room is large, cheerful apartment, through the open windows of which the guests seated at the table command hand- some view of the bay and the distant hills on the other shore. The table is well supplied with great variety of fish, flesh and fowl, all cooked to suit the taste of the most fastidlous. The bar room is most elegantly appointed, with fine, highly polished, oak bar and sideboard, with one of the finest stocks of wines, liquors and cigars to be found anywhere in Sonora. To preside over the bar room MT. Mar chebout has secured the services of MT. Leon Escat, from New Orleans, who is an artist in making mixed drinks. His punches, mint juleps and cocktails are the most delicious decoc- tions ever compounded, and when the stranger tastes one of them he wants to sit right down and engage board with MT. Marchebout forever. In fact the Hotel Armada in all it's feat ures-bar billiard room, dining room, cuisine, bath rooms and guest cham bers,- first class in every respect, filling want long felt in Sonora. THE OASIS speaks advisedly. Its editor was there a couple of days last week.
