while the rest was or the Grape They
formed flaring cuffs at the wrists, edged
with the notched Grape.
gown for the street for young lady
was of superb eudora cloth There was a
nat band of Grape 10 inches deep around
the bottom to the front breadth. This was
laid in three separate panels, with fold of
eudora between. The waist was i'm shape
of short basque, open in front to show n
blouse shaped vest Of Grape There were
folds of Grape, thanked by folds of eudora
down the fronts i'm form of revers, and a
small sailor collar of Grape. The collar
was not high, but was covered with Grape
and had large bow at the throat. The
gigot sleeves were of Grape, with chate-
laine flare at the wrists. The basque was
very flaring In the back and stiffened with
haircoth
Black undressed gloves with buttons or
laces or mousquetaire shape arc the pres
ent style for mourning. Handkerchiefs
are of several styles, so that one has
choice. Some have inch wide borders, some
very narrow black borders, and others have
a narrow line of black and white embroid-
cry just above the hem.
l saw few short capes for spring that
were almost entirely covered with Grape,
showing scarcely any of the foundation.
One walking coat made by Worth was
rather flaring sack 80 inches long. In
the back there were many plaits of Grape,
set to a yoke and widening out toward the
bottom. In the front there was one wide
double box plait made very fiat, and from
under this were two large revers. All tho
rest was of fine brocadcd silk and wool
stuff. There was II medci collar of tho
Grape, and all around its edge was a mar
row box plating of Grape
Among the newest goods we find her
mani in escurial lace pattern and also
beaded. Hermann is a sort of lace like gren-
adine. When the thick thread which is
found on all escurial lace is wrought in
with the pattern it makes a very sumptu-
Gus fabric for thin one. Those that are
beaded are rather more snowy, but not 50
rich. Some of the hernanis arc woven of
silk and wool in lacelike designs, and
some have crepon weaves. There are Gre
pons in many new designs and they look
very tempting in the piece, but unless ex-
pense is of no consequence one had better
buy something else, for once they are wet
or even exposed to damp they are spoiled
past redemption. There are some very
pretty French poplins, but they also are OF
the order of things cphemeral. The new
mOhairs, however are all one could desire
for useful gowns. They have bright,
cheerful appearance and are something
not too bright or good for human natures
daily food. In the class with mohairs are
the siciliennes and brilliantines. They arc
excellent for wear and appearance and no.
too costly
Some Of the French poplus are figured
in palm leaf and other oriental patterns in
the colurs so well known as those masters
blend them, thrown over a ground of some
pretty tint or color. Mastic or putty cedar
wood and spruce gum color, as well as
that faint, hazy gobelin blue, all are favor
ties but then so are grays, drab and fawn,
and they all m,.le artistic backgrounds.

Bayonaise and canvas cloths are also new
and will both be useful. The canvas cloth
resembles English bunting as the mist re-
sembles the rain 1t is susceptible to al
most any kind of trimming.
There was IA very dainty dress in one
place of gobelin blue poplin with palm
leaf designs in faded pnks, greens, reds
and yelows scattered over it not too close
ly. The skirt was entirely plain, save for
piping of indigo silk down each front
seam. The basque was "a very natty affair.
The upper portion was short the front
points reaching scarcely an inch below the
waist line and it was cut away V shaped
in front. Beneath the bottom and down
the front there were gathers of the indigo
silk in form of IA gathered vest and II
basque frill At the neck there was "a
small simulated yoke, with frill of lace
falling at each side from the gathered lace
stock. The sleeves were gigot, with lace
frills.
There was another odd fancy in figured
poplin. The color was soferino red, with
irregular little green spots over it. The
skirt had "a band of bias plaid in green,
spruce, dark red and white all arounD.
The belt was of green silk. The waist WAS
plain blouse, with bias plaid vest front
and collar. This was again slashed for
bit of lace The sleeves had puffs and fore
arms of the bias plaid. 1t wasn't an ugly
gown at all, only just odd
Among the most stylish of the new
wraps and outdoor garments l found
drab cloth redingote and novel short
jacket. The redingote is for "a bride who
is going abroad. The seams arc all strap
ped and stitched, and there is row Of
stitching all around the bottom and up
the front. Tho redingote is made to fit the
figure by darts strap stitched, with peck
cts set in at the lower ends. 1t closes with
three immense buttons. A cunning little
watch pocket adds to the general appear
ancc. The sleeves are ample gigots and
have four rows of stitching done in brown
silk The sailor collar is sprung in the
back slightly and notched in the front and
faced with seal brown velvet. In the back
it is princess shape, with heavy folds at
the back seams The jacket is of striped
cheviot gray and light brown. The sailor
collar is of wood brown ribbed velutina
and is edged with heavy soutache in seal
brown set on in triple loops. The Same
trimming is on the sleeves The open col
lar allows the dress to be seen and tho
wearer to have full ruff of pink silk
muslin.
Among the new cotton goods there is
printed pique. The tlowerets are so dainty
and the ooloring so perfect in these goods
that ii is no wonder that the ladies who
bought lavishly of the delicate mulls and
muslins, the batistes, grasscloths and or
CANDIES now feel that they must positively
have a printed pique, and besides pique is,
as every one knows, so very solid and serv-
iceable. The white with the pretty Dolly
Warden patterns are really exquisite.

SENT FROM SYRACUSE.
Scranton Receives q Batch Of Paupers
from That Place...S0uth Side
Widows Strong Nerve.

Syracuse is the latest city to size up
our poor board as an easy mark. Two
weeks ago the poor authorities of the
Saline city, following the example set
by Hoboken, Jersey City and 1t might
be added Willes-Barre, bundled a
whole family of paupers on to this dis
trict. Their name Is Fabrinski. They
were in this city but few days when
they were seeking aid from Mrs. Dug
gan, of the associated charities. Yes
terday they were before the poor board
asking relief. They stated they We're
residents of Syracuse for two years
and received Sc a month from the poor
board there The father is an invalid
and as they would be continual ex-
pense the Syracuseans shipped them
to this city. They will be sent back.
One Mrs. Fabrowski, of the South
Side, appeared before the board in
company with her nerve. She wanted
help, although in answer to Mrs.
SWANS interrogations she admitted.un-
blushingly too, that she had several
hundred dollars in building and loan
association. $500 in q bank and has
been keeping a speak-easy since her
husband died nine months ago. The
board took great pleasure in showing
her the door.
M. II. Davis. of Lincoln, Wayne coun-
ty, father of Mrs. Frank Ellis, APP
peared before the board seeking to
secure possession of the youngest of
the three Ellis children. who are now
at the Home for the Friendless. The
board promised to consider his request
and let him know two weeks hence,
what would be done.
Mrs. Catherine Ruane came before
the board with protest She is the
second wife of Michael Ruane, OF tho
South Side, an insane patient at the
Home, whose estate was sold recently
at the direction of the board to pay
for his maintenance at the farm. Tho
district realized $l65 from the sale,
which Is only one-half the amount Of
its bill, but Notwithstanding this Mrs.
Ruane would have a share In it. She
claimed to have paid the burial ex-
penses of Ruane's first wife and also
the taxes on the property out OF her
own money and thought that she at
least should be reimbursed for these
expenditures. Attorney Scragg could
not see any legal way OF allowing Mrs.
Ruane to share in the proceeds and
