THE WARDROBE.
Early Hints of Spring Ball Gowns and
 Other Pretty Things.

The first importations of French organ dies are here and are of almost transparent texture There is predominance of rather close floral effects in delicate eolorines, with Q tendency toward more or less dis tinet stripes, formed by the design or ap- bearing as plain bands of color. Black or gandies with bright flowers are also seen, and reproductions of old fashioned pat terms in which tho floral design is inter- mingled with clouds of color of irregular shape.
 t'aas arc small and elaborate. They ara nade of gauge, lace, silk and satin, but gauze in particular is favored, and is cov- cred with spangles or is painted with flow CTS or watteau scenes. < fan may bo 2 most expensive work of art, if the sticks are finely carved and the decoration nado by an experienced artist.
 Nearly all evening gowns are trimmed with applications of embroidered and spangled lace. Embroidery of gold and silver is in high favor, with crystals also, not merely tiny beads, but largo jewels. The bodice is usually a cloud of mousseline de soie, plain or with woven or enbroid-
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-04-27

cred design, and is shirred, plaited, pufted and draped in every conceivable way, lace being often intermingled. Ostrich plume trimming and flowers are also employed as decoration
 Thore is a tendency among modistes to introduce historic styles among ball cos tunes, modernizing them to accord with the present time, to suit fashionable taste. Louis Quinze effects are particularly pleas. ing.
 An illustration is given which shows an evening gown of straw moire. The skirI has three gedets at the back, and is adorn- ed by three outings of straw mQusseline de soie arranged diagonally. The araped bodice of moire is crossed fn front over the right side. which is composed of puffed mousseline The back is close fitting. The wrinbled sleeves of mousseline teaninatS ct the elbow in plaited ruAies, and thero are also plaitings at the shoulders. Copper satin is used for tho belt. sleeve bows and shoulder knot, and q cluster of copper chrysanthemuIns is placed at the right shoulder. .IGDIC CH0LId5r

 Five million dollars in nuggets and an lnexbanstfble mino of fabulous richness will be the reward of the proapector who gan find the lost Golden mountain in north. ern Alaska. Such at least is the report current among the miners along the Yukon and it's tributaries, says q Sioux City cor. tespondea5. The story may be myth of it may he literally true. No one seems ta know for certainty, and so many lives have been lost in the effort to establish it's truth or falsity that investigators are grow ing somewhat efary of entering on ths search Mark Hamilton, Yukon miner in 1891 and 1899, thps told ths legend:
 A way back, before Alaska passed eut of Russian hands, {" he says, party start. ed up the Koyohuk river, a tributary oi the Yukon. Inc mem bers wanted to learn all they could concerning the topography of the country it's mineral resources and the various tribes by which itwas lnhaDif ed. They were picking Ila fuFs, too, aud looking for any little snaps on which they might stumble in tho way of Infian trad ing. Alaska WIS not known tBcq as ib is now, as gold connry; still it gs.a under stood that gold Was occasionally found, aad the explorers kept their eyes open for any chance sight of the precious metal About half way up the north fork of the Yukon they bfanehea off to tho west and some. where between tha north fork and the Are. tic ocean, TO one knows just where, eeme to D small mountain, the base of which was literally honeycombed with veins oi rich gold bearing ore
 Such atleast is the story. I don't vouch for it's truth. It is said that s5,000, 00Q worth of nuggets were picked up in few weeks almost on the surface of tho ground By this time the winter season was begin. ming 10 set in, and the prespectors con- cluded they had better strike for the south. ern settlements. Travelling was so difficult and the party so small-i6 numbered only six or seyen-that the greater part of the treasure was cached near the camp and snly enough packed for transportation to convince settlers in the south of tho rlch- ness of the deposits It was expected to return the next summer with stronger party and work the lead for all it was worth
 "What became of that party after it left the mountain no one knows. It was never seen again. Inquiry made by the Russian authorities when the explorers failed to re- turn on schedule time developed from the Indians tho story. given aboye.n 31
