In 1885 there were built in this coun-
try SS1 square rugged ships and banks
and 126 brigantines; last year through
out the country but one small bark
was launched and not ship or brig
lntine. Steam has usurped the trade
in which these vessels were employed
and vessels of the schooner class are now
in demand. The present year the steel
ship Erskine w. Phelps has been
launched at Bath and another is to be

popular for ooillon favors. These little banners gieam and glisten under the rays of the electriet light, and in brilliantly lit room flash and sparkle in manner that is truly gorgeous.
 Miniature swords, guns and knapsacks, hung on red. white and blue knots of rib- bon, so that the girls that get them can slip the ribbons over their arms and leave these mllitary articles swinging there, in time to the music as they dance, are yet other novelties that have a national inter- est. Equally appropriate and of the time for a completely American cotillon are min iature cannon that are in reality bonbon- nieres and are exceedingly natural in ap- pearance. Ribbons likewise deck these gaily, and they can be carried on the arm in the same way.
 Aigrettes that are punches of ribbon, red, white and blue, designed to be pinned in the hair at once, make up another favor. Still another consists of red white and blue artificial flowers. From the colors and the flag, as may be seen, the designers Of these American co,illon favors are not attempting to get away. Everything devised Is so far based upon them.
 The heroes of the day-mitary and naval are in no wise forgotten in these novel, ties. One favor of the hour is the photo- graphs of well-known American admlrals and generals, in appropriate frames. The photographs are of course, very small. The frames are exceptionally dainty, either of white satin, with succession of tiny

American favors are every whit as pretty as the French. One of these favors con- sists of a large null hat, a big, broad, dainty structure, such as the summer girl (when she is not in sporting garb) likes to wear to shade her face from the sun. Only the null of which this is constructed is not of white, as is usual. or of pink, delicate blue or green, as the Parisians would adopt were they making such @ favor, but of red white and blue combned-three separate stripes draped daintily and prettily The hat is novel and decidedly charming. When it comes to her in the course of a figure the dancing girl will put 1t on instanter, and will dance with 1t on her head during the entire evening. Such hats are bound to be popular. and in all probability very few cotilons of the year will be wi-nou: them.
 Flags, of course, play an important part in these American cotillon favors. In fact, an American cotillon of the new sort with out such thing as flag would be bereft of a great part of Its charm. One favor device along these lines comprises an as- sortment of flags, half of them American, half of them English. These flags are mounted on sticks, and themselves are about foot long by half foot wide. They are flags of satin, and on their remaining three edges there is border of little sil- yer or gold bells, that jangle and jingle tangle as the flags are raised and waved sn time to the music
