GOWN GOSSIP.

New York Sun: One of the recent
arrivals is the bugle bead, which comes
in every color and is very effective
element of the new trimmings.
Tucks form the yoke of simple silk
waists, and bodices Of thin material as
we'll as those of velvet. are covered
with tiny tucks.
Zouaves and boleros of every kind
and shape are still a conspicuous part
of the bodices, but the handkerchief
Zouave is, perhaps. the most unusual
style.
The fashion for trimmed skirts seems
to be gaining favor very rapidly, and
the dressmakers assure you with great
confidence that they have come to stay.
Old-fashioned china ribbon in the
narrow width has come back again and
is used for embroidering sprays with
gold and silver thread and Roman
pearls.
Waists of cream white crepe de chine.
tucked crosswise back and front around
the sleeves and made full and loose to
overhang narrow belt of gold galloon,
are very stylish.
All sorts of collars. pelerines and
small shoulder capes of fur are worn
this season, and they are made of seal,
mink, sable, Srebe and chinchilla alone
or in a combination of any two kinds.
Red, in all it's varying shades. from
bright scarlet to deep rich tint, is the
leading color for children's gowns,
cloaks and hats this season, and white
braid, lace and white pipings OF satin
or cloth are the usual trimmings
A medici collar cut into squares and
stiffened, so that they can be turned
down at WILL is a feature of the new
cloth caDes. and some of them are
made more becoming and dressy by an
inside frill OF lace set in deep enough to
cover the squares.
Very dressy bodices for cloth gowns
are made OF alternate inch-wide strips
of cloth and black or cream lace in
sertion stitched together by machine.
The entire waist is of this combination
and is made plain in the back and full
in front. opening over a fancy vest.

A glow irradiated his countenance,

he will get along well in the world
there is little doubt, but it will never
be owing to his skill as an amanuensis
He had heard that Mr.. Dazer, a mer-

he needed the salary he resolved to try
The fact that Mr.. Dazer suffered did
not prevent that gentleman from desir-

ear alone, was very convincing. He
