saw a charming gown the other day made
by one OF the smartest tailors in New
York, in n lovely shade Of mignonette
green cloth, which was cut with Il double
skirt, the upper one fitting very neatly
and closely around the hips, without
drapery or wrinkle, yet with a certain
amount of flowing freedom which was in
creased and emphasized in the fulness
of the lower skirt. This comparative
width OF the upper skirt was scarcely
noticeable, and did not take away a all

skirt was cut so perfectly that il seemed
to fit the figure below the waist without
in any way cramping or combining it.

Luckily FOR poor woman, she is allowed

There is quite craze for lockets, hat
pins. shirt-waist SETS pins, &c. in heart
shape. The fad started with the crystal
heart-pendant, worn earlier in the sea-
son, and has now progressed to such on
extent that Miss 1899 has a varied asso.t-

OF the silver hearts, however, are set
with small diamonds and with other pre-
cious stones. This craze came into being
no doubt, from the success OF the Cyrano
chain and the bangle the chain having
often as many as three or four pendants
attached while the bangle has often as
many as six. These generally include a
pig. an elephant and tiny silver cigar
oxidized to a tobacco tint, with white
to represent the ash, while tho illusion
is still further increased by the insertion
of a ruby at the end.
There are many new hat-pins. The tur-
tie has found its way 20 the end of this
pin. and is popular studded with pre-
cious stones.
Shirt-waists sets for the present sea-
son comprise many novelties, the pref
test Of which, perhaps is the owls head
set. This comes in sterling silver, the
owls having emerald eyes. There are
gold heads also. with ruby eyes. Coral
is very much sought after just now for
chains. rings and pins. In lace pins
quite the latest thing is the bar in scroll, |

with numerous small diamonds, real or !

skirts but that they must remain stand

Interesting Communication.

Editor Herald :
1 shall endeavor to write few
lines to your valuable little paper.
After about twenty-five hours travel
l reached hero just in time to take in
the finest part of the fair, which L en-
joyed very much, though tired and
sleepy. Such sweet music by the ST.
Louis bands; such display of fine
stock, and many other things of inter
est, kept me thoroughly aroused.
1 believe the most interesting thin 2
was the Texas cowboy gang. Among
them was "girl-cowboy," who ran a
horse, threw lasso, or any old thing
that any OF the boys could. Though
young looking, she was hustler
from baskerville.
Well, L must not not say ito much
about this girl, some one might think
| was struck on her, (she is pretty, J
but of course I am not that kind, to
get struck on the girls.
Well l have had two or three of my
Greene county friends to ask me some
thing of going to college, to them let
me say: 1 am here in college and be-
lieve this is splendid college, it has
not been open but few days and has
about 400 students now, about 600
last year with a fine building, good
recommendation. l think no one can
make a mistake in attending this col
lege. Trust that a good number of
the young ladies and gentlemen will
attend college some where, as L think
that we have a great deal to do to
bring our county up with other coun-
ties educationally, and we know that
this is the most important thing iu life.
If this thing escapes the waste
basket again. Wishing you much
success with your paper.

Not little comment has been made upon
the unusual proceedings in the Sloane d.
vorce case. but the following from the
June number Of Law Notes indicates q
healthy sentiment upon the subject In the
legal profession which win be noted with
pleasure by our right-minded readers:
I'VE wish to and do register an earnest
and emphatic protest against the methods
which were reaorted to In the procurement
OF the Sloane divorce in New York city.
No ono doubts that statutory grounds
were abundant and proof thereof plentiful.
And no one will gainsay that II the con-
duct of men and women Of wealth n 90
lewd and lscentioue that the bare mention
Of details would result In depraving the
public morals. 1t Is . wise law that provides
for taking the evidence behind closed doors
and sealing the findings. But we insist
that even II millionaires are willing to
swap wives while crossing a stream. they
should be required TO 60 over a bridge. and
that the drawbridge should be open and
they should be halted long enough to allow
the public to know what they are doing.
The orders OF court. regardless OF the
wealth Of the parties affected and their po-
holed. but should be regularly entered
along with other papers. Lawyers Will no,

never look upon Its like again."
