The new ribbons are well worth seeing,

oriental brocades which are very effect

ribbons are shaded into three colors, and
silk plains and striped velvets are also
to be seen.
The very latest in boleros-which are
still with us and seem likely to remain
for some time yet-are those made OF

ANARCHISTS FROM SPAIN
Thriving Clubs in New York Whose
Members Uphold Assassination

All Spanish anarchists do not live in
Spain. About 500 of them are residents
of Greater New York. They are merely
Socialists or Communists or mild theor-
lists, but "practicalos'-men who be-
lieve in putting in practice the teach
ings of Carl Marx and La Salle-men
| whose hope and ideals are anarchy pure
and simple.
The largest and first organized group
of anarchists is known as the "Circulo
de Estudios Sociales," club for the
study of social problems. Its head
quarters are over a barber shop in
Brooklyn, under the very shadow Of
Brooklyn bridge.
The founder of the club and Of the
Spanish anarchistic movement in this
country is Jose Pellicer. He came to this
country in 1878 from Barcelona. He
found an active ally in j. c. Campos, a
Cuban and a compoSltor by trade, who

monthly paper published by Spanish
American anarchists.

dence in Salem, Mass. His earlier sci
entific studies were geological. He was
a special student of Louis Agassiz at
Harvard.
| A monument to the memory Of NielH
Wilhelm Gade, the famous Danish COM
poser, has been erected on the st. Anne's
plad, Copenhagen. Gade died seven
years ago. He was born in Copenhagen
and was for many years first director
of the Royal conservatory.
A young woman has received the un-
| usual honor OF the freedom Of London
guild. She is a daughter of Lord Am
herst of Hackney and, having written
history Of gardening in England, has
just been thus honored by the Worship
full Company of Gardeners.
Bernard Bettmann Of Cincinnati has
accepted the presidency Of the saenger-
fest jubilee which is to commemorate the
fiftieth anniversary of the North Amer
lean saengerbund, and to be held in Gin
cinnati in 1899. Mr. Bettmann Is prom
nent citizen and man of broad educa-
ton.
"Mr. Lecky," says the London Sun,
"is rapidly developing into the normal
and businesslke M. p, and dropping his
preoccupied look and ultra-intellectual
air. The caricaturists now rarely util-
ize him as a subject-a sure sign that q
celebrity is shedding his little peculiar

Sergeant Egan Of the Boston police
force has been admitted to the bar. He
entered the Boston university law school
in 1894, and was graduated cum laude
last year. A few weeks later he passed
the examination of the Suffolk county
bar with honor. He has been on the
police force fifteen years. He was born
in Boston in 1868.

used for coats. Jackets. vests, and in fact
for any and every purpose to which
fur can be put. The fancy for black and
white, which has lasted through the
summer and seems likely to run through
the entire year, will bring ermine prom
inently to the front, though this fur
will be used mostly for trimmings, ,revers,
collars, etc, where touch of white is
needed to make garment effective.
On the other hand, the return of mixed
greys sft browns to popular favor, will
create a demand for brown furs OF all
kinds, nun n with brownish cast
beii specially liked. Black and white
feather boas are the principal NOVELTIES
in that line, while black and white
tinted marabout combined with white
or iron grey will also be worn. And then
there are short capes and collars In
woven p.amage which i.omise to be
pretty we'll liked.
Embroidered fronts and panels are
seen on many of the new costumes, both
for day and evening wear, though more
especially for the last named. Most Of
these fronts for skirts have also piece
for the full pouched bodice, decorated
to correspond. The variety Of styles
to choose from is endless, and chenille,
silk. gold, Jet and even aluminium are
used, singly and in all manner of COM
binations. Aluminium is very desirable,
for it is light and quite inpervious to
changes of weather, never furnishing
i'll the least. Coral is another new ma
terial which is seen this season, and
none of them are more effective than
this.
Skirts with panels are favored in
Paris. One costume made OIL this plan
was of chiseled violet velvet, with
short curved lines of white ground just
occasionally seen between the violet pile.
The skirt opens on the left side over a
narrow panel of white pleated armure.
The richness of the matehial precluded
the necessity of trimming, and the whole
effect was very good. Other new skirts
l saw were made very Ions, of black
cashmere or vicuna cloth, slightly
draped over white serge. the latter being
either braided with black or having
trimmings OF black velvet. These seemed
to me rather sonbre, but might be re-
deemed by judicious mixture of white
in the bodice.

fashionable one must wear q sash, and
generally speaking, that sash must be
black, although others are occasionally
seen. AS to material, there is more
choice, as it may be velvet, satin,
duchesse, taffeta, or even of some very
thin silk, but should have bow of
some sort at the waist to be strictly up
to date. Narrow sash ends of ribbon
or velvet may be worn hanging at the
side, little in front of the hip or just
over it. AS far as / can see the i'm
portant thing seems to be to have a
sash, if not in reality at least in effect.
