AN INGENIOUS FATHER.
He Used Electricity to Get Rid of Ills Daughters Objectionable
 Young Man.

The ingenious father of an estimable young lady on Walnut Hills recently rigged upa clever contrivance. by means of which he discouraged q certain young
 man who had been accustomed to make love to the daughter in the old gentleman's parlor. The amorous swain is a barber, known familiarly to the pa irons Of his shop as Lew" The girls seem to like Lew very much, but the father of the heroine of this story doesn't take kindly to Lew or any other young man who comes sparkling" his daughter. The old gentleman recently caught Lew and the girl sitting rather close together on the soft. He read the girl lecture and made her promise not to let a young man sit beside her on the soft again. He was bit suspicious, and decided not to trust the girls prom ise, so he called in an electrician to carry out little scheme of his. A con- tact plate was fitted just under the cushion of the soft. and another to the bottom of the frame in such a way that when the weight of two persons bore NO"H NpoH 'nS 'op piate i1 WOULD toucn the other and close the circuit Wires were run from the two plates to the old mans bedroom, where, as soon as the circuit was closed, a small bell would ring. All this was done without the knowledge Of the girl. The next night Lew called again, and everything was as it should be until the old folks re- tired about ten o'clock. About half an hour later the bell upstairs rang fu- riously. The old man sneaked down. stairs and caught the lovers smuggling very close together on the soft. Lew escaped with his life, fortunately, but the poor girl is locked up on diet of bread and water.-Cincinnat Comer- cial Tribune.

NOTES OF TEE FASHIONS.
Various Items of Dress That Go to Make ID the Stylish
 Costume.

There is no radical change in the ap- pearance of the summer shirt-waist for the season of 1898, although there are numberless pretty variations in the de- tails of its yokes, sleeves and the ad- justments of the fullness on the lower portion of the garment.
 There will be a host of exquisitely dainty and beautiful dresses next sea son with skirts tucked, ruffied, frilled, ruched, finished with Spanish flounces, overshrts, panels, killings, accordion plaitings, folds, and insertions of lace or embroidery, etc, but the most novel will be the costumes made with open fronted redingotes, and princesse dresses cut down low on the neck and worn with fancy guimpes of every de- scription.
 This year it is very easy matter to exactly match the parasol, sash and neck scarf with the gown, without do- ing the least amount of running about to accomplish this sort of sartorial com pleteness. Gowns of foulard (plain, striped and checked), and lowered taf-
 
 mer materials, have in many of the inn porting houses the above-named acces- sories placed in close juxtaposition to these and other dress fabrics, both cost ly and inexpensive.
 For spring uses the chapeau par ex- cellence is the English walking-hat The sailor model, in it's new, improved outlines, is not deposed by this very popular hat, however; nor will it hold less important position later on; but for the present the English shape has the innings at the milliners'. This hat is sufficiently varied in it's style and con- tour to adapt itself to all types of faces, for, while the difference in the brim and crown is not at all pronounced, the manner of arranging the trimmings upon the hat for different people quick ly transforms its outlines to the effect desired.
 Especially adapted to the Pompadour style of coiffure now so universally popular are the dainty French toques for demi-dress wear which are formed of flexible zephyr straws shaped in graceful in-and-out curves, which i'm part a very charring ensemble when the hat is nicely adjusted above the waved and rolled coiffure. Black toques are distinctly fashionable, and very popular style of garniture is wreath of richly colored and shaded wallf1ow- CTS or nasturtiums, set around the crown, the flowers delicately covered with the merest web-like yelling of tulle, either black or else in one of the brown CT golden shades of the blos- sons. The coiffure and the toque are both very charming when selected by women with smooth, low brows and faces of certain contour; but very many others elect the fashion to whom it is most unbecoming, as one notes contin- ually.-N. Y. Post.
