Latest Fad In Stockings.

The shops are displaying the most
marvellous hose and Of the most strik-
ingly brilliant hues. To describe all
the different designs would be impOs-
sible, for they range through spots
and stripes aud floral designs TO all
kinds OF conventional decorations
Several Coi0rs are frequently seen in
one stocking, and nearly all the mod
els have two cOiors.
They come in delicate cashmere, silk
and Isle, ard are beautifully shaped
with close-litting ankle, slender feet
and swelling calf. They are very long
and fit TO perfection.
The imported English stockings in
fine cashmeres have embroidered in
steps, in conventional flower figures
carried out in bright-colored silks
These are very handsome, especially
those done III gold or scarlet. The en-.
Cire stocking is black, the English not
having yet accepted the gay COlorinE
in the stocking itself, that bsing /
French fancy.

Concerning N.w sleeves.

Very many sleeves Of dressy waists
are rUcked from the wrist to within a
fingers length OF the shoulder. The
arrangement of the top is entirely &C
cOrding TO the within Of the wearer or
maker, and varies infinitely. This
ruckiHg, which has been com pared to
n wrinkIed mOusquetaire was formerly
arranged by cutting the outside longer
than the lining ana wrinkling il upon
lt; but now the lining and outside are
cut the same length and the sleeve is
pushed up on the arm i'll wrinkles.
The top puff is usually Of very irregu-
lar form, and greatly moderated IN
size. The prettiest are those that are
cut in one with the rest of the sleeve,
and tie fullness is adjusted as is most
becoming-either drawn up quite high
so that 1t seems to form overIappiD z
puifs and falls forward and back OF
the arm more than on top, or plated
up from the sides to throw all the full
ness on top like an epaulet. Where
two fabrics are used in a gown, often
both are seen in the sleeve, the richer
one, usually, forming the drapery.-

Il choice cold dessert that may be

cream is made by using layers of fruits
and nuts IN lemon or orange jelly

Democrats to Blame.

The Mascot, Democratic paper
published at Statesyille, in speaking
of the Dem-POp fusion, says:
The Populists have refused to do
with the Democrats just what the
Democrats refused to do with the Pop
ulist in August. The committee
knew when they made the propo-
sition that the Popuiiats were
quite likely to refuse to comply
with their terns, they knew that
the Popnlists had made agree
ment with the Republicans, which
they could not well break; but the
committee also knew that they would
suffer no disgrace if the Populists
treated the committee just as they
themselves had been treated. Where
| is the mistake? Why it was made in
August when the Democrats refused
the terms of fusion presented by tie
P0pullsts.

1t is more than probable that the
women who long most earnestly for
more ample fitting or firm, smooth
flesh over the neck aud arms do not
know the efficacy there is in simple
cold water. 1t should be applied not
less than twice a day, and if faithfully
adhered TO will be found wonderful
restOrer of rounded contours. In the
morning and at night draw large
basin Of cold water and with one hand
dash it lightly and rapidly over the
portions OF the body which it is desir-
able to strengthen and improve. Keep
this up about ten minutes, use no
soap, and DO not attempt to make 8
bath Of it; massage with the hand and
endeavOr to draw the blood TO the sur
face and establish a regular circnEa-
ton.

Sizes for II and 1G years.
Dark blue serge of the broad vale
now so popular, is the fabric of this
youthful and attractive gown, which
Is so simple that it can be adapted to
any use, according to the materials
employed. The waist fastens in the
back, and has slightly dropping
blouse front. The only trimming is y
generous use of black satin or velvet
ribbon, which forms the stock collar
and girdle, gives yoke effect across
the front and back and bands the
sleeves. All fancy cheyiots, tweeds
and novelty goods of silk and wool are
suitable fabrics to make by this model,
and for home evening gowns it would
be charming made up in light cash
mere, with bright ribbons.
A special illustration and fun dIrCC-
tions about the pattern will be found
on the envelope in which it is en-
closed.

ey demands solyable in any kind Of
