The Vicomtesse Henri Houssaye, the popu-
lar wife Of one Of the forty "Immortals,"
is very well knowfIas one of the best-dressed
women III the smart set. She was Miss
Ritter, California heiress, and though
France has been her home for many years,
there is still tie most decided air about
her. One OF Der evening bodices is Of pale
green taffcta silk, with a design OF rose
garlands in pink.
1t is made in Louis XIV style, with q
sharp point at the bottom of the waist.
The neck is low and square, and the shout
ders very long, ending in Il little cap cf-
feet that intensifies this effect OF longness.
The sleeves are draped, ending at the elbow
with a fan OF iGee. A the front of the
bodice is y pointed vest ofmoSs green velvet,
with loops OF velvet standing out four
inches on either side. Just at the base OF
the loops are rhinestone crescents.

Chiffons and lace. The preferred materials
are plain satin, flowercd silk and moire,
the latter extremely Fashionable, not only
for evening. but also for day wear. The
colorS are white rose, cerise, pale blue and
violet,
Very notable is the absence of flowers
arranged in natural gorlands, sprays, etc,
such as used to be the chief garniture of
evening dress. Few flowers are employed,
ana these are subordinated so as to form a
decorative effect, as instanced in the
flower-cdged ruffies above, where all
the blossoms are alike, and no attempt is
made to initiate nature. This is an i'm
proYement in art that is worth while to
cite. You look at the natural flower gar
lands and you see that they are initiated
flowers, and they give you no further
sensation, but you look at these ruches,
which, whatever they may be made of, are
correct decorations, and you experience
delicious surprise to find that they are
composed of flowers. The principle is easy.
This paragraph may end usefuIly with
the account of u dinner gown easily copied
in extremely good taste. 1t is of blank
brussels net, or any other thin black
material mounted over red silk. The black
skirt is entirely in side plaits, and falls
loose from the silk; the blouse has square
neck aud elbow sleeves, and tiroopS slightly
over the belt all round. The trimming is
passenlentere of garnet and red sequins. It
makes lines down the skirt al intervals all
round, and lines down the sleeve, and is
richly massed on the blouse. This red
trimming could be replaced with net.
Jewels seem TO be worn less and less
every year. With day toiIcttes they are
scarcely seen at all, and the fact was
authorltatiyeiy illustrated the other day
at the marriage OF the daughter of the
Count d'Hanssonville. which brought to-
gether all that is related to royalty in
France. Scarcely 4 jewel was to be seen
in the elegant assembly. The bride wore

has crowded it out OF use. The collar

only marred by placing Jewel in front.

three yards Of any one kind TO work with.
'tADd that is little, as mademoisellc knows,
when ten yards are none too much for

whisper to tell me that the noble families
Of France are so very noble that they scorn
to plead poverty, and prefer a dignified ST.

their fallen estate, even though the prating

The quantities of new models shown at
the shops along The boulevard suggest any
thing else but an exhausted supply Of ongi-
nal ideas. And a French cOuturiere is in
her element when she is evolving one OF
these creations, for there is absolutely no
limit put on the quantity, the quality and
the construction of the materials she uses.

WEDDING IN EGYPT.

saturday review.
As you look out your hotel window in
Cairo you will see a native musician saun-
tcring by, twanging the lutte of the coun-
try; then a sound like the tinkling of baby
cymbals informs you that the sherbetly is
going his round, with his huge glass jar
sung at his side, from which he dispenses
Ito the unwary) sweet, sticky drinks of
licorice juice or orange syrup in the brass
saucers which he perpetually clinks in his
hand.
Late at night the sounds of Eastern
life invade your pillow. The distant throb-
bing of the naggarah tells you that
wedding procession is ma king its tour.
and if you, have the curiosity to get up
and sally out you will he rewarded by one
of the cbaracteristic sights of Cairo, in
which old and new are oddly blended.
Probably a circumcision is combined with
the wedding, to save expense, and the

and leading the way for a series OF car
riages crammed with little boys, each
holding neat white handkerchief to his
mouth to keep out the devil and the evil
eye. Then comes a closed carria ge, coy-
cred all over with a big ca shmere shawl,

thcn more carria ges and a general crowd
of sympathizers.
More rarely the bride Is borne in q
ca cashmere-covered litter swung between
two camels, fore and aft; the hind camel
must tuck his head under the litter, and
is probably quite as uncomfortable as the
bride, who runs fair chance of seasickneSs
in her rolling palanquin.
In the old days a bride walked through
the streets under a canopy carried by
her friends, but this is now quite out of
fashion and European carriages are rap
idly ousting even the camel iitters. But
the cashmere shawl and the veil will not
soon be abandoned.
The Egyptian woman is, at least in
public, generally modest. She detects
a strangers glance with magical rapiflity
even when, to all appearance, looking
the other way, and forthwith the veil is
pulled closer over the mouth and nose.
When she meets you face to face she does
not dropher big eyes in the absurd fashion
of Western modesty; she, calmly turns
them away from you; it is much more cut
ting-really.

Paris. Feb. 2S.-Whoever it was that pre-

Dysentery, when cpl demic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asistic cholera. Henceforth the best effort of the most skilled physicians have failed to check it's ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves 1t to be the best medicine in the world for bowel complaints.

There are no laggards among republ. can newspapers of Arizona in supporting Mckinley and the St. Louis platform. Every republican weekly, which com pnses the Sulphur Valley News, the Yuma Sentinel, Coconino Sun, Holbrook Argus, and the Tucson Citizen, the Phe. nix Herald, and the Prescott Journal Miner. all stand pat amidst the demo. pop roar for "free silver" without limit, without warrant, without business invi- tation, without good sound judgment. There is no republican paper in the ter. ritory but stands by the national repub- ncan ticket. To he sure there is paper that has been operating a blood money scheme under the cover of the name of the republican party.

It will not oe surprising if the support of Bryan and SewaIl by Hoke smith's paper will make trouble in the Cabinet MT. Cleveland is inclined to think that his Cabinet should follow him in all that he approves, and therefore, for the Sec retary of the Interior to come out in sup port of the Chicago ticket is probably gall and wormwood to him But he is not so great power as he once was. His whole administration is under condemnation by the democratic party as represented by the Chicago convention.
