LADIES ARE ASSURED

when 1t comes to the rich silken
Fabrics. Mohairs, cheviots, boucles,
CLOTHS and camePS hairs all are suitable
for them, and for their party or best
dresses taffeta is suitable, and so are
the plaid silks. Only the lighter quail
ties, however, are deemed proper for
the young. True, some foolish mothers
Will put the richest stuffs and real laces
upon their children, never thinking Of
the days when the little ones will be
big, and then find nothing good enough
for their larger needs. Gowns for girls

A pretty, useful and serviceable cloak

THE TRILBY APRON.
That Is the Name of u Now and Prets
ty Garment.

Besides the Trilby coat, which is the
very latest costume of the Trilby fad
in England-and a Trilby shoe and a
Trilby hat and a Trilby collar--there is
also a Trilby apron.
The latter is one of the prettiest Of
the new articles of attire named after
the heroine of Du Maurier's novel. 1t
is made of white muslin lawn, and is
embroidered and tucked and frilled
round the skirt.
The bib is also plated, and embroi-
derry runs along it's top and around the
epaulets. AS first produced for the
London market these Trilby aprons
were ornamented with the design Of a
primrose, which is the emblem of a
league of English women interested in
politics. Since that time, however,
other flowers have been used in the
embroidery of the new apron.
The Trilby apron is now to be seen
at many fashionable afternoon func-
lions in the west end of London, and
is likely to become the rage" New
York dry goods merchant said yester-
day that it would soon be placed upon
the market here, but under another
name, as everything connected with
Trilby is now regarded in commercial
circles as out Of date.

deavor to avoid newspaper notoriety,
Mrs Reed has provoked so many social
paragraphs describing her as "quie.,
retiring, stunning society,"" etc, that
the general impression of those who
have not had the pleasure of meet
ing her is of an elderly, depressed,
but dutiful matron, with sorrowful
countenance and detected mien, who
dolefulIy acts formal social part,
leaving no meaning between the lines.
AS she stood to receive her guests one
afternoon not long ago an impulsive
Southern woman was presented.

ingenious confession her hostess was
much amused.
In reality Mrs. Reed is about forty
three years of age, of most attractive
presence, plump, of medium height, fair
complexion, and has light brown hair,
only slightly touched with gray, which

MRS. M'KINLEY.

Mrs William Mckinley, though for
nearly quarter Of century she has
been confined to an invalid's chair, is
not averse to society. AS the wife of
Ohio's governor she has given state and
informal receptions in the spacious
apartments in the Mel house that have
been fitted for the McKinleys. She is
an enthusiastic protectionist and a de-
voted admirer of her husband In her

she goes comparatively little into So
ciety, although in Washington, when
her father was a member of the SEN
ate, she was one of the leading bellies.
1t was there she met her future hus-
band. Their marriage, owing to the
high social position of the parties, was
a notable event. When Mr. Lincoln
was appointed secretary of war in the
cabinet of President Garfield, which
portfolio he held until the end of Pres
ident Arthur's term in 1885, Mrs. Lin
coin did the social honorS at her huS-
bands residence with rare grace, tact
and dignity, and when her husband
was sent to London as minister to the
court of st. James by President Har-
rison she was universally recognised
as one of the most accomplished wom-
Ell English society had ever well
coined from the United States.
Unhappily, while in London great
cloud came over her life, caused by
the death of her eldest son, Abraham,
a promising youth, possessing many
of the characteristics of his grand
father, the martyred president, who

There is one daughter remaining at
home, a beautiful and interesting girl.
As an evidence of Mrs. Lincoln's
modesty, it may be added that she
has not had her picture taken for
many years, that her portrait has
never appeared in any paper, and that
her photograph cannot be obtained.

Ii HUNG CHANGES MISTAKE.
He Honors the Emperors Mother FIRST and II
Costs Him Years Salary.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., November H.
Since the announcement by cable that
an imperial edict had been issued
mulcting Ii Hung Chang in one years
salary for presuming to enter the pre-
cincts of the s'ruined summer palace, !"
while visiting the Empress Dowager,
there have been numerous inquiries of
members of the Chinese legation con-
cerning the exact nature of the offence
and the reasons for the sanctity with
which the palace seems to be surround
ed. II is only to-day, however, that
these efforts have proved successful. 1t
transpires that the "ruined palace" at
least so far as it relates to Ii, is q
pleasurable fiction. The facts are that
there are two factions in the Chinese
court, one headed by the emperor's
advisers and the other by the empress
dowager, his adopted mother. Ii
Hung Chang, upon his arrival at Pekin,
is understood to have paid his respects
to the ex-empress before making obeis-
ance to the emperor. This was re-
garded both as a serious breach OF
official etiquette and as an indication OF
his intention to bring the influence OF
the empress dowager to bear upon the
imperial policy. Hence the condem-
nation of tie venerable statesman 10

him as minister for foreign affairs.

deplore the misapprehension of the
press, in styling this commentary.
"New version Of Scriptures" We
further disclaim any connection what
ever OF our society or OF our national
