Be Careful With the Mails

An instance came under our observa-

for valuable package to become lost
in the mails. The package was proper

address whatever. The owner was
finally found by the detective work of
Col. w. b. Gaitree and the package was
given a new start to it's destination.

VIENNA, November 80, 1897.
Never have richer fabrics been selected
fer full dress wear than those utilized to-
day. The demand Is about equally divided
between silk. satin, velvet and brocade, and
the trimmings are as filmy and transparent
as they are lavish ard expensive.
The form of the skirt shows little change,
except that it tends more and more to pro-
fuseness of trimming. Panel fronts of lace
or tulle. studded with ridescent squares. or
chenille dots, ribbon edged with tiny silk,
or mousseline rucnings, are favorite skirt
adornments. matching the bodice decora-
tions. but sometimes quite at variance with
them.
Rufiies enjoy popularity as modes of dec

testifies thereto. We have named it Iris
as 1t is adorned with a garland of these
beautiful blossoms and besides in Its rich
color tones bears some resemblance to this
royal flower of France
The heavy satin, of beautiful shade OF
coral. constituting the gown, is entirely
yelled with n.ousseline de sole of a paler
shade. The front of the skirt forms a
tahlier. which is draped with hounces of
coral mousseine de sole, edged with chenille
OF very pale shade of violet. AS seen

Black velvet ribbon is sewn at regular
intervals and in vertical lines at the sides

purple and violet Iris lilies is painted with

continuation of an artificial bunch of the
same flower at the belt and bodice.
Great care is shown in the selection of
the flowers, which should be in three shades

ton of coral satin is covered with moussc-
line pf lighter shade

ton of coral satin is covered with mousse
line of a lighter shade.
As a departure from the prevalent baggy
share, its form Is quite tight and round,
completing at the waist line with belt of
gold. To match the skirt, the black velvet
ribbon runs in vertical lines along the bod
ice, and edges a deep square, decollete in
front and back, which, however, is thinly
yelled by fulled coral mousselne de sole.
Two full fiounces. falling from the front
of the bodice, match the skirt trimming,
and drop daintily over the aforesaid bunch
of Iris lilies.
The sleeves of wrinkled coral mousselne
de sole are unlined. showing the skin I'M
derneath, and proving very flattering to
the arm. The back of the sleeve Is trim
ned with finely pleated mousseline, and
the shoulder puff consists of a number of
harrow and very full ruflles closely set to-
gether, and each rUffie edged with chenille
OF a light violet shade. The front of the
waist is likewise decorated by narrow
full rutfle.
In conformity with a fashion generally
adopted for its practicatility, no gloves
are worn with this gown, though it MAJ
serve for other occasions than a dinner
party. This new fashion is supposed to
have originated in the extraordinary furore
for jeweled rings. May its origin be this
or any other. the fact remains that the
society woman finds this new fad very
economical to say the least. OF course.
the rule applies only to long-sleeved gowns.
Thanks to the perversty of womankind,
We have still some adherentS to the be-
coming untrimmed skirt.
Untrinlmed Skirts.
Thus a beautiful evening gown is con-
structed of heavy brocade with a velvet
background of royal purple and lighter
floral design. The skirt, due to the very
rich material, is absolutely untrimmed AMI
quite narrow, with a flare beyond the
knees. The bodice, of the same brocaded
velvet, is a reminder of the Louis XIV
styles. with wide, square decollete trimmed

Young matrons have again adopted the
dainty, coquettiSh couture or head dress

dainty little affairs are composed of lace
ribbon and ribbon velvet. Tiny ostrich
tips, aigrettes and jet or jeweled orna-
ments may be added with artistic effect
The young girl generally chooses flowers

flowers used for this purpose have the ad-
vantage of wear over the natural ones,
which fade too soon, but the latter are

young head, filled with glad anticipation of

THE QUEENS PURSUITS.
| She Has Enjoyed Music and Drawing
and Light Literature.
From Holmes Queen Victoria

From Holmes queen Victoria
During the whole of her long life, in the
midst of public business which has daily
become more voluminous and cxacting, the
queen has never entirely abandoned the
pursuits which We're the pleasure and re-
taxation of her earliest years. Mention has
been made OF her practice of music and of
her instructors and here IL may be noted
that within the last fifteen years her mai
esty has sung with Signor Tosti, as at an
earlier period she sang with Lablache and
Mendelssohn. In all the extracts from the
queens journals which have from time to
time been made public, it will have been
noted how constantly she meltions that she
sketched the scenery of the places visited
by her. The early instruction. given by
Westall and supplemented by the hints oc-
casiorally given by Sir L. Landscer. was
not in landscape drawing. which was taught
by Mr.. Lear In 1916 and lS47. Since that
time the queen has taken lessons from Mr..
Leitch, and within the last Il years also
from Mr.. Green. The queen has always
followed with the closest interest the course
absorbed the greater part of her time and
attention. But her majesty has also made
herself familiar with great imaginative
writers, with poets such as Shakespeare,
Scott and Tennyson, or with novelists such
as Jane Austin Charlotte Bronte George
Eliot and, 1t may be added, Mrs. Oliphant.

queens deepest sympathy. The queens ac-

uceable In the purity with which she
speaks them. In the last ten years a signal
proof OF the warm interest which her mai
esty has always taken in her Indian en-
pire has been given by the queens study of
Hindustani, under the instruction of the
Munshi Abdul Karin.

Fancy BOnnets,
From Harper's Bazaar.


Bonnets are supposed to be for more
formal occasions than hats, but it is diff
cult In these days to decide what con-
stitutes the difference between hat and
bonnet, as strings are rarely seen except
ing on the regular close shapes worn by
older women. Most minute are those to be
worn to the theater. A small piece of
velvet exQuisitely embroidered in bright
stones Is twisted into some odd shape that
just covers the top of the head Directly
IN the center Is placed a white aigrette
with jeweled buckle. and the bonnet is
nnished. There are some which consist
a band of shaded roses behind a velvet
bow, but all are exceedingly small
Larger and more effective, and to be
worn at receptions, are also embroidered
velvet bonnets with white tips and a soft
roll of velvet about the face. Some in
lace and velvet are in many respects like
a Charlotte Corday cap. White and all
the light-colored velvets are used, and the
jeweled work upon them is exceedingly
rich and effective. The white ostrich tips
are put differently to suit different faces.
Sometimes there will be the three Prince
OF Wales tips, again just one-that a per-
feet feather-or bunch of two, but they
must always be put in to give height and
a smart look.
All black bonnets are and always will
be, very smart. A charming and favorite
style is made Of bows of ribbon velvet
fastened in the center with fiat buckle of
rhinestones. At the back two large ro-
settles Of black mirror plush, each with a
fiat buckle in the center, finish the bonnet.
Another style Is in cap shape, with the
bow covering the front, but the bow is OF
satin. Where economy has to be consulted
these bonnets are the best investment, for
they are smart enough for reception and
even theater wear, and yet do not look
conspicuous in the street.

The pleasant old Christmas custom Of q

Prepared for Winter.
From the Youths Companion.


Teachers in the public schools Of large
city hear many stories, some of them
amusing, some of them pathetic. A young
woman who teaches in a kindergarten ir
Boston, upon learning that one of her little
pupils was sick, went to visit her.
The teacher had been to Katie's home be-
fore, and SO had no difficulty in finding the
two little rooms at the top of tenement
house where Katie and her mother lived.
The mother was absent, and Katie, well
wrapped up, was sitting up in bed.
After the usual inquiries and condolences,
the teacher noticed that the little girl
seemed to speak with some difficulty, and
said:
Katie. I am going to examine your
lungs"
"Yes'm." responded the child, dutifully.
and Miss c. began to loosen the child's
waist. After removing 1t, she found layer
after layer of flannel which she unfastened
with some difficulty. Satisfying herself that
there was no danger Of pneumonia, she be-
gan to replace the child's dress, when
Katie began to cry.
