the kaleidoscope of colors few Earring
and inharmonious tones.
1t has been settled in the councils
who sit at the birthplace of fashions
that there shall be this spring:
Hats like butterfly bows, the bows
formed of stiff narrow ribbons.
Hats of the poke, coal scuttle or Sal
Walton Army shape, but trimmed out of
all likeness to their plebeian forbears
with flourish of feather and pert ar
rangement of figured ribbons.
Toques composed entirely of circlets
or coronets of flowers, with rank
grasses upspringing behind.
Toques in all colors, gem decked, and
in every shade from white to midnight
Toques trimmed with bows of rib
bons and with wreaths of flowers.

velvet. This pretty waist rejoices also
in a soft black velvet collar more easy
towear, certainly even more easy to look
at, than the high stock.
Another style of waist is builded CT
dark green crepon, with full front and
muttonleg sleeves of Persian silk, colors
green and brown, small green satin Cir
die with loops and Dresden buttons at
back, and revers of white duchess lace.
This is the newest have seen fresh from
the dainty fingers of the couturieres.
And speaking of collars, there are
dainty ones of grass linen, whose yokes
are embroidered with tiny silk rosebuds

Another, a small Paris hat, one OF
those shapes for which there is no de-
scriptiye name save "Ffenchy" is rem
dered glittering to the eye by the plum
age of the bird of Paradise, which
perches upon it as if restrained from
taking flight only by natural desire
to remain as near as possible to the pref
ty face above which it broods.
After the hats, and long way after,
come the shoes. The little birds in the
stores say that the extreme pointed toe
of the 1895 styles will be, if anything,
outdone in the styles of 1896. The shoe
which was for sharpness called the
toothpick is now announced as razor
toe and razor toe itself seems likely
to be refined into point of the keenness
of that scimitar wherewith, in the
Stockton story, the Oriental execution
err so deity beheaded his victim that
he knew not of the loss of his head
until he sneezed.
In other words, shoes will be sharp.
The tan shoe, hated by the makers, be-
loved by the summer girl, will give heed
to it's lovers rather than it's haters. We
shall have it again. 1t is worth noting,
too, that American shoemakers, the
most successful in the world, are turn
ing out ready-made shoes so excellent
in design and so careful in finish that
he would be an excellent critic indeed
who should tell them from the custom
made.
The new woman, it seems, has been
in the ascendant long enough. My lady
is fitful, and, lately plant, VIII now
have none of her. For this season the
word has gone forth that bifurcated
underwear need not be worn; that

lace. There is combination petticoat
which will be much in favor, whose
texture to the knees is silk of dainty
figure or narrow stripe. while MI below
undulates with the billowy fiuffiness
of shirred lace with figured edges.
And there are also gowns, in whose
fashioning much cloth of green and
gold will be used, upon whose waists
colored ribbons, flower ribbons,
checked ribbons and self ribbons will
fiutter in the wind.
The extreme wide belt which was last
season a freak of a day has not yet
returned. On the other hand the very
narrow belts, this season a freak of
another day, are going out in defer
ence to the foreseen dominion of the
lshirt waist. A pretty novelty is the
spanged belt of different colcrs, with

lemons for each man, woman and child.
Since the new fruit commenced to ar
rive, about the 1st of October, very
nearly 100000 more boxes have been
received than came during the same
time last season.
The crops are very plentiful along
the Mediterranean, but because so
many oranges are being carried from
that region these months, owing to the
deficiency in the Florida crop, there
is little room for lemons on board these
ships. The California lemon crop also
is larger than ever before, aud supplies
viii be forwarded from there. The
California lemons are exceedingly good
ones, and only experts can tell them
from the Mediterranean crop.
For culinary purposes the lemons of
Sicily-that is, those from Mesina and
Palermo-are to be preferred, as they
have much better flavor. Other ex-
cellent lemons come from Maori and
Rodi, in the hill regions surrounding
Naples. Catania and Malaga lemons
are yet another variety and come in the
early fall, just after the southern Italy
and Sicilian crops have been finished
up.
box of lemons averages about 300
each. From 100000 to 100000 boxes
are sold in year here. 1t is predicted
that the California crop in three years
will average 100000 boxes. It will
be interesting to note whether they will
drive Out any or all of the foreign lem
ons. Prices are now little lower than
usual. In September seven dollars was
obtained at wholesale box-the high
