Surplice effects are much used on the
bodices of silk or satin wedding gowns.
The new half-long coat cutting up in front
and rounded down in the back has a quaint,
old-faShioned look which II will take some
wearing to teach people to like. There Is
never the grace to the half-long garment
that there is to the short or long. Simple
tailor suits show short Jackets.
The three-quarter coat, with a skirt that
falls just easily above the dress skirt, is
very graceful garment on TALL well-formed
woman. 1t is oftener, however, more unbe-
coming than the reverse. to the majority,
and coat or basque bodice that is sashed
adapts itself better to figure exigence than
the straight edge.
Velvets are assured of a great success in
the seasons of 1898 and 1899. for the making
wraps, waist combinations, millinery, etc
Very beautiful plain velvets. and also
changeable ombre, plaided, striped and
seasons luxurious exhibit.
Fringes of every width and buttons in
every variety of shape and size are shown
with other new things in the way Of dress
trimmings, and among the very old-fash-
Toned revivals is a cape in long shawl
point shape, both front and back finished
knotted network at the top-a style in
fashion when Queen Victoria was in her
teens.
The new autumn weaves in drap d'ete,
double-faced cashmere and camel s-hair are
exceedingly handsome, and prove a great
temptation to those in search of fine goods
LOT the making OF smart gowns Tor the rail-
an dwinter. The finest grades in cancels
hair are said positively to come from India
looms. They are rather expensive, compared
with other qualities, but they pay for them
selves in the end.
For elderly women are some new shawl
shaped capes, almost as long as shawl
proper, formed very much like the newest
fur capes. These are made variously OF
corded silk, plain satin or brocade, and are
trimmed with deep graduated ruffie Of the
same, or with rather wide lace. These
capes add greatly to the beauty and ef-
feet of a black costume, and although only
silk-lined, have considerable warmth, with
out being heavy.

From time to time one hears strange sto-
ries of the power of certain singers to take
a part in an opera at almost an hours no.
tice. The latest story of this sort comes
from London, where, a couple of weeks
ago, a performance of ''Lohengrin' was
given, the conductor of which had held no
rehearsals. and the Telramund, Herr Won
Milde, sang the part for the first time in
his life and without any rehearsal Herr
Won Milde has done equally startling things
before. For example, in 1892, he sang the
part of Wotan in Die Walkure" after only
two days study of the music.

FACTS ABOUT MILK.

The same amount of nutrition is con-
tanned in quart of milk, three-quarters
of a pound Of fat beef or five ounces of
wheat -four. Milk is a perfect type Of
food, but only for the young. 1t fails to
furnish the necessary amount of heat
and force for adults.
There is 81 per cent. Of water and 13
per cent. of solids in milk. The sugar
in the solids is in greater proportion
than in any other solid. The reason
cream rises more quickly from Jersey
and Guernsey milk is that the fat glob-
ules iii the milk are larger and can rise
TO the top more readily.
The United States is the leading dairy
country in the world. There are about
II, ,00O, 900 cows scattered over our dairy
farms and quite a time ago the value of
our dairy products was estimated to be
over $4O0, 100000 and the value Of the
cows nearly as much. Although this is
the leading dairy country it does not
lead in the per capita consumption of
dairy products and much of them are
exported.
The reason that milk sours>so readily
in summer time is because it cools very
slowly and does not become cooler than
the air. The bacteria which have got
into the milk will multiply very fast
and cause the milk to sour rapidly. If
milk is cooled to a low temperature as
soon as drawn, the bacterial growth
will be checked at once and will not be-
gin with much rapidity until the milk
has become warm cnce more.

CYCLING hND NEATNESS.
Both Sexes Careless About Personal
Appearance While Riding.

Both Sexes Careless About Personal
Appearance While Riding.
Much of the adverse criticism coming
from the nonriding public on the gen
orally slouchy, down-at-the-heel ap-
pearance OF many cyclists of both sexes
is merited by a woeful disregard OF the
conventionalities of dress. 1t would
seem to be no more difficult for cyclist
to be attract:vely attired than for golf
er, an equestrian, a driver OR any other
person appearing before the public eye.
Yet it is fact that no class of persons
SO well deserve censure for untidy APP
pearance as riders of the wheel. Of
course, there are extenuating circum-
stances always, but in this case the eX
ceptions are lost sight of in the over
whelming number of opposite cases.
And right here it may be said for Phil
adelphia cyclists that they are the best
dressed, generally speaking, to be found
in either hemisphere, those of Paris
not excepted, says the Press Of that
city.
Perhaps in measure the great haste
at which articles of apparel have been
turned out during the last two years
to accommodate the demand Of the ap-
parent fad may account somewhat for
the ill-fitting appearance of the clothes
worn by many who may not be inan
cially able to have their suits made for
them. But even if this be so, it is no
excuse fer the riders to intrude in pub
lie places with unwashed and foul
sweaters and grease-stainedr riding trou-
sers. Diners in public places have had
this sort of thing to contend with, and
they are getting tired Of it. Careless
ness on the part of the riders is large
ly responsible for this state of affairs.
Time and rebulles will one day have
their reward. The tendency is for i'm
provement, and those who aim to look
well when a-wheel hope it will hurry
to the point where all well-meaning
people will be found presentabIe in
their cycling clothes.
