NOVELTIES IN GLOVES.
The severely PLAN glove is not
gaining in favor, according to
the amiable head of glove de-
partment in one of the smart
shops. There is a demand for
fancy stitchings and trimmings,
for clasps and hooks instead OF
buttons, and a decided preference
for pale tans and grays and deep
Russian green for the street, and
for light yellows. pearl shades,
pink and green for evening wear.
Novelties are out in tan. with
pink stitching. black with yellow,
yellow with lavender, and OK
blood with green.
The lamb skin two clasp glove
in all colors is the correct thing
to wear with tailor made cos
tunes.
An odd glove that is to be IN
troduced for evening wear is of
suede to the wrist. From the
wrist to above the elbow it is of
lace run through with narrow
ribbons. In some cases these
ribbons are spangled with Sc.
quins. The glove is secured at
the top with ribbons run through
beading of embroidery and
tied in a bow.
THE NEW RIDING DRESS.
According to London habit
makers, the smart riding jacket
should almost touch the horses
back when the rider is seated in
the saddle. There are also side
pockets and small breast
pocket. The coat outlines the
figure closely in the back. but
the front is loose. The sleeves
are close fitting from shoulder to
wrist.

That is a good suggestion which is made by William 'E. Dodge of New York. He proposes that what was known as the United States allotment
 system during the civil war shall be revived and put into operation again.
 Not long after the outbreak of hostili- ties in 1861 it was found that many vol unteers had left their families unpro- vided for and charge upon the com- munity, while they really needed for themselves but a small part of the SIS a month which they received, as they were provided with food, shelter, cloth ing and medical attendance, and requir- ed little money to satisfy other reason that large proportion of the soldiers would not take the trouble to send
 home the bulk of their pay, but would waste it at the suffers and in other ways, if they were left to themselves. To remedy these evils a bill was passed by congress December 24, 1861, entitled ''An act to provide for allotment certi- ficates among the volunteer forces" the object being to pay to each soldier in a certificate upon the ub-treasury such portion of his monthly pay as he might choose to allot to his wife, children, parents or savings bank and the bal ance in money. The late Theodore Roosevelt, the late Theodore B. Bron- son and Mir. Dodge were appointed by President Linoln Allotment commits sioners for New York, and they made showed that the system had more than

TO BANISH FLIES.

London women have discovered a very agreeable way of ridding their homes of flies and mosquitoes. They burn sandal wood in the houses. This is an Oriental idea. In London it is possible to get the wood prepared for this purpose, but here it is not so easy, as American women have not yet taken to the practice Now that the festive fly and the American mosquito are about to make their appearance, at least the Staten Islanders and Jersey ties might do well to give the sandal wood a trial. Sandal wood can be bought at almost any Turkish or Japa- nese importing house. It is prepared for burning by being first cut into small pieces half inch thick and three inches long. Then it is baked or dried out in slow oven for twenty-four hours. A piece of the wood is put into metal urn, lighted and allowed to burn until well aflame, when the flame is extinguished and the red hot embers left to smolder until the wood is con- sumed and nothing is left but heap of fine gray ashes. During the smoul- dering process the wood sends out a sweet, aromatic smoke.

POPULAR,

The plan to give the people of New Haven cheap and easy access to their rock parks finds general favor. Even those who have hitherto stoutly main tained that it is the Christian duty of those who can't ride or drive up the rocks to walk up have not yet "peeped' In opposition. They may be heard from later and if not heard from they may be felt. But no attention should be paid to them. They are behind the times, and they place the good of the few above the good of the many. It is more important that the poor and the feeble should have the benefits of the rock-tops than it is to have the rock tops preserved against parties and similar vulgar yet popular diver sions. The rock parks are beautiful. They, can be kept so even if "the peo- pie" do go to them in multitudes. And when, by means of cheap and easy transportation to them, they are made as useful as they are beautiful they will be fulfilling their mission" Open the parks to the people,s and thus add to the health and the pleasure of those who need such addition.

er's scorn appears in the preferences of the young women who take trimming with theirs. They want some decora- toin, enough to give their suit charac- ter, but, though they may not confess it, they want little trimming to serve as distinction. That seems bit like lacking the courage of their convic- tions, but the tailor girl who likes trim ming should be favored, for the other sort is too often helplessly affected. So here's a trimming for her that will an- swer her secret need. It consisted in the garment shown here of bands of red cloth covered with serpentine net. This trimmed a jacket of cadet blue cheviot, and even though the accompa- nying skirt was relieved from absolute plainness by nothing more than a cir cular Spanish founce. still the rig was picturesquely and tastefully trimmed. So hurry up and copy, you blue tailor girls.
 Duck in light blue, light rose or white is extremely popular for summer dress es. Little effort Is made to conform these gowns to sailor fashion. The fa,- vorite pattern seems to be the apron front and bias-back skirt, deliberately braided in all-over design below the joining. The bodice Is drawn into folds at the back, hlouses in front and usu- ally opens to the belt to show a bloused under piece of lawn. Sometimes folds of contrasting duck are set against this inner blouse to suggest a waistcoat. The front of the bodice is often cut down to show the under portion in a yoke. These gowns are sold ready made in all the better stores, and their design makes their fit satisfactory in almost all cases FLORETTE.

APPROXIMATELY.

The esteemed Register says in "dou- ble leads": God has enlisted actively upon neither side, and would doubtless prefer in place of offerings of thanks giving for His assumed intervention devout prayers that speedier way be opened for the attainment of everlast- ing peace among all the nations cs the world"
 The weather isn't suitable for a prolonged and "double-leaded" discus sion of the esteemed Registers state ment that God has enlisted actively on neither side" etc, etc. So we will simply ask the esteemed Register how 1t got the news of Gods neutrality and respectfully call it's attention to the following from the same double leaded" article which contained the mportant-ii-true news above quoted: "It is questionable if man should pre- sume to speak for God in such rela- tions, from any point of view, but it must be clear upon sober thought that to presume to state definitely His plans and policy, His purposes and acts, in exclusive reference to ourselves is ap- proximately sacrilegious."

THE PEACE T-4LK.

The peace talk continues and some of the head Spaniards are acting as if the thought of peace might be in their minds. But nobody can tell what is In Spaniard's mind, and Spanish honor may not yet be satisfied. If it isn't Santiago may be bombarded to- day.
 One of the indications that the Span- iards may be thinking of peace is that the celebrated "Cadiz feet has been called back from the canal to Spain It is argued that it wouldn't have been called back to meet certain destruction. It really does seem as if the Spaniards might want to have ship or two left as a nucleus for new navy, but there may be nothing in this notion. They have been throwing away their ships as recklessly as if they had an Alad- din's lamp that would make new fleets when rubbed, or as if they had made up their minds to let the tail go with the hide" Perhaps the loss of the Ca- mara Obscura squadron wouldn't add much to their troubles.
 This country has been very patient and it has also been very polite to Spain. But if Spain wants any more balm for her fanstatic honor she can have it. Our soldiers and sailors are preparing some.
