decrease the weight of skirts, and this is
best done by fine and light Innings and
the use of underskirts that give the
spreading effect that is considered neces-
sary to present styles.
Brilliant colors and striking contrasts
are features of the prevailing mode. In
the hands of discreet person they are very
delightful, but everybody Is not discreet;
hence there are some glazing and unpleas-
ant effects. Color, however, Is desirable
in our modern, practical life, for it is the
quickest and easiest way of rousing senti-
ment All feeling for color must be senti-
ment, for color is not, generally speaking,
utilitarian. 1t is thing of beauty
chiefly, at least that seems to be the in
tention of it.
Clouds of tulle and gauze, both black
and white, are employed to neutralize the
sharpness of some of the frank colors now
in vogue. Frills and plaitings of these
diaphanous materials have an exceedingly
softening effect, and many charming in
ventions may be seen. Colored tulle Is
also much worn, but the nature Of the
goods prevents it from seeming crude In
color even at It's brightest.
A sketch is given of "a girls house gown
IF bright blue yelling. The skirt is gath
ored at the waist and Is trimmed with
spangled blue passementerie. The blouse
bodice, which has guimpe, or ohemisette,
Of white gauze is similarly trimmed, and
here is belt of the same sort of galloon.
The epaulets, collar and bows are of white
ATTN. The draped sleeves terminate at
he elbow. JUDO CHoLLET.

ribbon six inches wide. The top edges
were hemmed q draw string Of narrow
ribbon was inserted and the bag was COM
plete. The empire fan is still the favorite,
though 1t is rivaled by those very large
ones composed of Is or 90 beautiful ostrich
feathers.
Bows are much used for trimming sum-
mer gowns, and the latest novelty is the
mixture of white and colored ribbon, the
same bow having coques of both. The
white element, in the form of cloth, silk,
tulle or gauze, appears in the composition
of all toilets
Children's costumes also owe much of
their beauty to the predominance of white.
Largo collars, pelerines trimmed with lace,
chemisettes of silk and gui1npes and plas.
irons of guipure contribute to render the
wear of little people picturesque and be-
coming.
An illustration is given of summer
gown of straw foulard with violet printed
design. The godet skirt is untrimmed save
for a large bow of violine velvet fastened
by paste button and placed near the foot
on the left side. The bodice Is fitted behind
and draped in front, fastening at the left
side under bow similar to that on the
skirt. Tho bouffant sleeves terminate at
the elbow, where they are adorned by a
velvet bow. A collarette of violine gauze
surrounds the neck. The toque is Of violine
bengaline, trimmed with straw colored
bows and spring flowers.

Having m { with the highest sue
cess in The manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup OF Figs, 1t has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and it, products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process OF mauu'act-
uring, figs are used, AS they ar,
pleasant 10 the taste, and healihfui
in their tendencies, but the medicinal,
properties oil the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and to act most beneticially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
wel-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

VARIOUS NOTES..

Skirts Lighter In Weight-Haircloth Pet
ticoats to Make the Flare.
Smooth surfaced goods are to supersede
the crimped and crapelilie goods that have
been fashionable for SO long. The change
will not be sudden, but 1t is steadily ap-
preaching in the gradual way that most
changes of style come.
The new skirts are lined with fine per-
caline or silk, and few of them have
haircloth inner Innings, but lighter skirts,
with the haircloth pettiooats, are preferred
by ladies who have many costumes. A
perfectly fitted haircloth petticoat with
silk ruffles is thought to preserve the indi-
viduality of style to which many women
seem to cling. An effort Is being made tc

LETTER FROM FAIRFAX.

BUSH HILL, Aug. 2S-On last Sun
day the colored population had woods
meeting near Beulah Baptist Church
and during the day there was quite a
number of the white element also pres
ent. We learn that the services proper
were of an orderly character. A num-
Der, however, who had made the &C
quaintance of John Barleycorn later in
the day and had not the fear of God or
man before their eyes, behaved in
very rude manner, considering the time
aud place, by hourishing knives besides
using profane language. Such dis
graceful conduct should not be allowed
Where is the law made and provided in
such cases?
On yesterday the picnic given by
Messrs. Gailliard and Mason, of the Mt.
Vernon school board, was held in the
grove surrounding the public school
building, near Franconia Station, which
vas nicely adapted for the purpose. A
reireshmeut stand had been erected
where ice cream, delicious cake and
other edibes were dispensed to those
disposed to buy, at moderate prices
receipts to be applied to the already well
arranged library uuder the efficient SUI
pervision Of the teachers of said school.
We are sure this received generous
patronage. An elegant platform 80 feet
long by 16 feet wide admirably suited
for dancing occupied a conspicuous cen
tre. The fore part ofthe day appeared
o be devoid of any general interest,
those present seeming to resolve them
selves into what might be termed, "a
mutual admiration society,"" At high
noon, however. the crowd began to
grow larger and after an elegant dinner
had been partaken of, the sound of
sweet music foated out on the air,
played most admirably on two tenor
violns and bass viol by Messrs. l..
Fand, J. V. Alexander and Wallace t.
Paxop, in the order named. These
gentlemen are members of the Ryan
Cornet Band, at Farmville, Loudoun
county, Va. Soon the nimble feet of
both sexes were tripping the light fan
tastic which was entered into most
heartily and the time flew past on gold
IN wings until late hour. The youth
and beauty of this county and from
other points made the whole scene
handsome picture. We trust at least
the whole affair was success financial

A WARNING TO BOLTERS.


We wonder if the gold monomaniacs
of this city realize the effect which
their action will have on the future of
the democratic party here.
The working people of Alexandria
have always regarded the action of the
party primaries and conventions as be-
ing decisive and binding, but now as
many of those who have been favored
and honored by their party, refuse to
abide the decision of the Chicago COD
ventiop, simply because that conven-
ton failed to nominate some northern
plutocrat, some anglomaniac, they now
favor rump convention, in order that
they may support some tory toady OF
the English monomania.
AS these boilers have established the
precedent, they will have to abide the
consequences.
Workingmen who have swallowed
the nauseous doses prepared for them
in many of the past primaries, merely
to preserve harmony and secure party
success, will hereafter disregard the ap-
peals of professional leaders whom they
so long have followed and vote inde.
pendent of primary decisions.
While this action will undoubtedly
cause the loss of the city to the dem
ocrats, yet it will be step
necessary to teach these would.be au
tocrats lesson of duty, both to the
people and to the party.
AS to this, the Second ward When
we sent Mr.. Cockrell as delegate to
the State convention at Staunton, we
were aware that he favored gold
standard, but we thought him demo-
crat, and fully expected that he would
perform his duty to those who bad sent
him and stand for the nominee of the
Chicago convention.
Had q gold man been nominated, we
can safely assert that every working
man in the Second ward, who is dem
ocrat, would have given their loyal sup
port, and we have right to expect the
same action on the part of the gold
standard people.
The workingmen of Alexandria will
keep an eye on these gentlemen who
are now betraying their party and in
the future will know their friends.
"You have shorn and bound the Samson,
Robbed him of learnings, light;
But his sluggish brain is movirg,

And his locks are growing fast"
