DRAB IS FAVORED.

Drab is one of the seasons favored
colors. The French call it "winter
sky" but this is too poetic title for
it's uncompromising dull metallic
tone. It is not like soft nuns gray,
swallow gray, silver, dove, fawn or
anything as delicate and dainty. Drab
4 not a becoming color on its own
merits. We associate it with the coats
and gowns of the Quakers, when far
stricter in sectarian and dress matters
than they are now, and with the old
Puritan drivers of the defunct stage
coach, with their many-caped long
drab coats. But French modiste can
easily make a gown of beauty out of
even drap cloth. She combines it with
black and Danish or Spanish or Brit.
ish red SO artistically and deftly that
the dowdy dress of drab becomes in
the hands of this sartorial prestidigi-
tator a triumphant success. Set it
against, for example, one of the brick
red gowns of cloth with black and
white vest, and bricl.red velvet toque
en- suite, and rivalry there IS none be.
tween the two. The one is vulgar and
provokingly aggressive, the other sufi-
ciently smart and eminently attractive,
but quiet withal. Another fancy of
the French woman combines the drab
material with cream cloth accessories
braided in gold or stripped with the
narrowest lines of red and gold braid
laid side by side.

TEE WAIST NOT DOOMED.

Many indeed are the false prophets
that have arisen and sounded forth the
extinction and doom of the fancy
waist, the separate waist, the blouse,
the surplice and any of the rest OF the
corsages not made en- suite with the
dress skirt. We heard and trembled,
for is it not universal favorite, o
most trim, convenient, and faithful
friend? Verify it is oil these and much
more, but its merits need not be en-
larged upon; they are known and
thoroughly appreciated by all except
the very limited minority whose bust
ness it is, for their profit, to invent
new and not always desirable fashions.
Long live the separate waist, plain or
fancy, say ], and am positive that
the same wish lives in the hearts of at
least rine.tenths OF my countrywomen.
OF course there are waists and waists,
and of course the most perfect styles
are made or sold by high class modistes
or importers, and the range from these
special elegant garments down to the
cashmere waists sold for less than O
dressmaker would fit and finish one
for, is something wonderful. One
cannot cordially praise many of the
models offered even at first class retail
houses that are made of fimsy mulls
and other perishable materials, and so
gathered, and puffed, and pleated, and
tucked, that not few look rumpled
ana wilted while in the hands of the
seller, yet they are marked at what
seems an absurdly high price. The
waist may be silk lined and the outer
material chiffon, and it may possibly
bear the name of some famed designer,
and vet woman of taste would quickly
pass it by for one of palmer aud more
durable style. If one would be econ
omioaI and at the same time gain in
appearance by the choice, she would
better select good quality of, say,
fancy satin, in dark blue, dotted or
hair lined with gold, or if more be-
coming, n deep Jacqueminot red,
barred lightly or dotted with black or
green; adding TO the collar, pelt, huu
sleeves narrow but handsome gimp
trimming, plain or ''jcwelled." After
wearing the waist many times, it will
be found very little the worse for its
use. The possessor of the more ephe-
neral waists, necessary, OF course, for
full dress occasions, can but regard
their condition with dismay even after
few hours wear. The weight of On
opera cloak has most demoralizing
effect on chiffon. The traditional but
terfy's wing is not more easily brushed
to destruction. Brocaded silk is now
iashionably used for fitted blouses
and fancy waists, and is likewise re-
QUESTIONED for parts of the bodice
formed of faced cloth, wool canvas,
boucle textiles, silk and wool goods,
etc., to which the brocade imparts II
distinctively dress appearance. New

History of the Inauguration Ball.

The Inauguration ball dates from
the very beginning. There was ball
when Washington was inaugurated in
New York, but owing to the pressure
of other demands upon his time, it did
not take place till the evening of
March 7. Washington attended and
performed minuet with Miss Van
Zandt, and danced cotillions with Mrs.
Peter Van Bru6h Livingston, Mrs.
Maxwell aud others. There was no
ball at his second Inauguration be-
cause of its extremely quiet character,
and there was none when Mr.. Adams
came in because of the general grief
over Washington's departure. 1 can
find no mention of q ball when Jeffer-
son was inaugurated, but there was
one when Madison came in, and since
then there has been no break in the
custom. There were two when Polk
was inaugurated, and two when Taylor
succeeded him-an administration and
an opposition ball on each occasion,
both very we'll attended. The crush
was SO great at the Taylor administra-
tion ball that many persons narrowly
escaped injury, and there were loud
complaints because of the inadequate
supply of refreshments. Century.

The counterfeit woman appeared
undecided a minute, then depositing
the basket in the bottom of the wagon,
dropped down over the wheel to the
ground and hobbled off in the direc.
tion of the ditch.
Robert watched until the hat bad

to the horses, at the same time strik-

said, approvingly. "You deserve q

basket, I must see what's in it.
Picking it up he cautiously removed

gaze.

tered and-much to his relief the

Partisan LAWYERS.

Lawyers in France, according to a
Rochester gentleman, who has just
returned from three years soiourn
in Paris, do not have such an easy
time as they do in this country, says
the Union and Advertiser. There, far
from encouraging the bright young
men of the land to enter into the legal
profession, l. would seem that they are
discouraged and every obstacle thrown
in their path, the result generally
being that it is only rich man who
Gun be lawyer.
"Under the regulations at present
in force" says this Rochester gentle
man, "barristers, after they have kept
their terms and passed sort of three
years. novitiate, during which they
have the title of advocate, but have no
voice in the deliberations of the coun-
Gil of discipline, are ins s,ribed on
the rolls. They can plead during
the three years probation, but it is
sort of empty privilege in nine cases
out ten. When an eminent barrlster
in France employs junior it
is generally some one inscribed on
the rolls; should he employ the pro.
bationer, the honor thus accorded him
must suffice. He does not pay him.
tBut he must live, and here is.
where the problem comes in, which is
much more easily solved by the Ameri.'
can or English young lawyer than it is
by his Partisan brother. In the first
place, there is the outlay for his gown,
or beretta, which comes close to SIC,
unless he prefers to hire it at the rate
of ten cents per day. Then he must
engage some one to teach him deport-
ment, for this is an essential qualifca-
tion in this land, where King Etiquette
rules with On iron hand. The services
of professor Of the conservatory must
also be called in to train his voice,
unless nature has been kind to him in
that respect. But these expenses are
mere incidents. He must, above all,
not live in small chambers and rent
dingy offices. Poverty is poor key
to open the pockets of clients"

Unique Umbrella Handles.

Umbrellas are displaying quite as
many departures in style as articles of
attire supposed to be more distinctly
modish. The latest edict is that the
umbrella must always match the gown,
and tailor-made women are having UNI
brellas made up in just the shade of
their street gowns-a costly fancy, but
surely pretty one to be commended
for those who can afford it. A purple
tailor gown requires an umbrella of
purple silk, lined with silk of pale ca
nary color, for the lining of the new
umbrella is always of different shade
A green gown demands an umbrella of
sapphire, lined with turquoise, and
SO on.
In the matter of handles there are
still greater novelties. The jeweled
ones are more elaborate than ever, but
newer than these is the handle made
to repsent the head of an animal. Fad
dish women are greatly taken with the
handles which represent the heads OF
dogs and cats, and which are always
after striking realistic fashion.
