Paris, May 21.-The popularity of silk
as fabric for summer gowns has ex-
ceeded even the great rage that was
predicted for it in the early part OF the
spring. But when one gets a glimpse
of the attractive show windows of the
silk shops here and sees what divers
sorts of silk are manufactured this
season, one can understand then how
a well chosen silk dress may be suit
able for any and all occasions.
Your heiresseS wear nothing but

Whangora chief on the subject of canni-

me. In short, what in nature is there that
is alive that will not eat readily of its
kind? There" continued the subtle dig

Oatmeal water is wonderfully soften
ing and whitening to the skim and Is,
therefore, much TO be recommended for
red and neglected hands and ford CON-
plexions. Many ladies use oatmeal in
stead of soap. for it is very cleansing
and beneficial Tie up handful OF or
binary oatmeal in muslin and let it soak
in the basin all night. 1t will give the
water milky tinge, and will be found
very cooling and softening. Toilet oat-
meal scented with violets, is a favorite
substitute for soap.

Hon. Andy Edmiston, Hon. Ira Post,
Hon. w. NJ Kincaid and General Alfred
Caldwell are candidates for delegates
to Chicago. So far as the Register now
recollects, the above named gentlemen
comprise the list of candidates in the
First district for the honorable distinc-
ton of representing the Democracy at
Chicago. They are all good men, and
the Clarksburg convention could do no
wiser thing than to select them. The
only objection which might be urged is
the fact that one comes from Lewis and
another from Harrison, adjoining coun-
ties. But this fact ism OF a material OBJ
lection, unless Braxton and Gilmer has
a candidate to present.
