both these members elaborated out of
all memory. They will be striped with
galloon and ribbon, they will be en-
riched with appliques, the skirt will be
ruffled TO the top and the sleeves Will
be ruffled at the elbow; and all this if
it does not add to the width in actuality
will still add in effect, which amounts
20 the same thing.
There has been for a long time no
change so important as this shifting of
base for the trimming. Tt has an air
of some permanence, and seems to in
dictate that a new style has finally APP
peared.
A comparatively small amount of ma
terial will now make a gown, but to
suppose from this that the cost will be
1essened viii be going too fast, for the
trimmings may more than make up the
balance. Galioon. for instance, looks
innocent enough as to cost, but if one
puts from 80 to so yards on a gown, as
may very well happen if this gown is
Zebraed to the top notch of fashion,
this galloon may cost much more than
the rest of the gown. The conclusion
then is that the new style will perhaps
be chic, but that it will not be cheap.
The effect being sought in the trim
mings is not so much intricacy as a
sharp contrast with the ground. Sim
pie bands with straight edge are used
rather than fine braidingS or OPEN
work passementerie. This observation
is important. for in it lies the differ
ence between a commonplace result and
distinction.
Gallons are the latest fangle, and
probably the amount being worn would
strap the earth round many times
Skirts and sleeves are covered with it
from top to bottom, and the fashion is

a fashionable novelty. They are used
not only on hats, but also on evening
gowns. High-necked gowns worn at-the
theater have a bunch of these masto-
dons at the belt. Poppies and chrysan-
themums seem to have the favor. On
the other hand, violets keep all their
popularity and are used in Drofusion
on the hats made for the demi season.
1t is said that more toques than hats
viii be worn in the spring, though this
is given under all reserve, for it is
scarcely safe TO believe millinery re-
ports in advance. One thing appears
certain, the Amazon form will not turn
up again. The milliners, when this
subject is mentioned, are absolutely
mum; they have not yet outlived their
chaErin.
The vogue for pearls has continued to
grow till they have nearly usurped the
place of all other gems. AT the grand
dejeuner given by literary and social
Paris to Sarah Bernhard the other day
the profusion of pearls worn by the
women was much remarked
Pearl chains two or three yards long
are the latest fashion. They are
twisted round the neck and caught in
loops down the front, to suit the design
of the gown or the fancy Of the wearer.

vet with appliQues of paSsementerie in
gay colOrS, and q narrow plating of
gray ribbon set under the edge all the
way round. The colored applique is
repeated round the top of the blouse

much longer than the arm, and are
turned up to show a silk facing. A

a yoke pointed slightly upward in the
middle of the front and in the middle

This is made in plain or in colored
fiannels, the yoke and sleeves bordered
with black velvet ribbon. 1t is also
made in liberty velveteens. The sleeve
is close like dress sleeve, or it is loose
and plated into a band according to
fancy. The same idea is carried out in
dressing gowns. Thus a gown of brown
flannel, with yoke and sleeves of brown
velveteen, or a gown all of gray-blue
flannel lined with black, with black
facings at the neck and sleeves and a
blue satin ribbon drawn round under
the arms. at the edge of the yoke and
tied in front with long ends.

Correct Costumes For Housemaids

Nothing gives a home a greater air
of comfort and refinement than neat and
tidv servants. OF course, in wealthy
families the livery is most important
but there is no excuse for people with a
falr income not giving attention to the
a@9earance of the maids Even when
doing her toughest work there is no
reason why mouse servant should not
be neat, and if the mistress takes an in
terest in her attire the maid will have

Four dresses are needed-three for the
morning and one for the afternoon The
morning gowns are the WORKING ones
and must be of cotton-cambric ging-

stripes, spots. piaids or small checks
Eight yards of material with three yards
of lining and one dozen white or pink or

cuffs finish the bodice, and with a nice

is fresh and neat and not expensive.
A black frock for the afternoon is a
necessary part of a first-class maid out
fit. This can be made of cashmere, al
paca, serge, or almost anything that is
not figured. Six yards of material double
width, will be ample. and this should be
neatly made, with plain skirt and bodice,
tightly fitting, and neatly buttoned down
the front with small black gold or silver
buttons. The sleeves are plainly finished
for turn back linen cuffs are to be worn,
and a tidy linen collar half hidden under
the narrow collar-band. The linen apron
is a trifle more elaborte than the morning
ore. and can be finished with a little
ruffle or embroidery, bow and long ends.

Carbondale has seen in some time was
that of the Republicans on Saturday.
The primaries are generally very tame
affairs and when it is remembered that
only some of the minor of the city
offices are to be filled this spring the
stir seems still more unusual. The
bones of contention are for school di-

alent to an election, ordinarily, in
