Subscriptions Due.
Ky

We are sending out this week a
large number OF bills for subscription
and trust that delinquents will give
them their attention. In making out
these accounts 1t was the occasion OF
much surprise that in these sxtraor-
binary prosperous times SO many
subscribers had neglected to remit.
Upon each bill there appears the re-
quest "a prompt remittance will
greatly oblige," and 1t is hoped will
have the effect Of causing many to
Immediately settle. While the amount
OF one subscription ia small. several
hundred bills represent a large sum.
Some few accounts we have been
compelled to place in the hands OF an
attorney for collection, and while we
regret that this Is necessary, 1t can
hardly be expected that We should
continue year after year to send the
paper to people who make no at
tempt to pay for it.

identical article worn by our grand
mothers in ''antebellum days.
Double sleeve" is another name for
II. All the smart challies and foulards
boast this arm covering, which, of the
foulard or challie, ends at the elbow,
while underneath falls a scant huf of
white muslin net or lace, its fulness
gathered into a close band at the
wrist. The first figure of the cut, re-
produced from the New York Even
ng Sun, shows a pretty frock in mot
died foulard having undersleeyes and
yoke in transparent net. Embroidery
over velvet trims the foulard, while
me left side Of the bodice is fastened
with silver buttons and clasps. The
other cut shows a simpler undersleeve
model, but one equally effective. The
;urn-back finish of the upper sleeve is
known as the Puritan cuff. "

It is contrived especially to reveal the
wide guimpe or yoke Of the bodice be-
meath, aud is avowedly more orna.
mental than useful.
The same craze has manifested it,
self in evening wraps. 4 full length,
somewhat box-shaped coat, narrow at
the top aud widened decidedly at the
bottom, is made low necked in front
in accordance with this new caprice.
Tue material employed is amber col
ored brocade, and it is lined with pale
yellow liberty satin. About the
shoulders is a wide, round marine
collar OF Venice lace, slope1 down
quite low. The sleeves, which hang
in bel.shape from the shoulders, are
heavily incruste1 with Venice lace
about the lower part, botn on the out
side and on the inside. Down the
full length Of the front the wrap lacks
four inches Of coming together. Both
edges are trimmed with "A long folded
piece OF pale yellow satin, held at reg
ular intervals with square pearl
buckles. A fchu or silk scarf OF

society belle still rides in a desultory
fashion and still keeps a correct aud
up-to date wheeling costume in good
order in her wardrobe. There is not
much difference between the bicycle
costume as prescribed by fashion now
and that worn for golfng, only the
golf skirt is a little longer. As wom-
en- are riding in much longer skirts
at the present time the majority of
both.
Another thing, the rainy.day or
short skirt is so much the vogue,
even for clear days, that several find
place among ma bellies gowns.
The Two new ideas shown in the large
cut will serve equally we'll as bicycle,
golf, outing or rainy-day gowns. and
are reproduced from Harper's Bazaar.

back is similar, only with a box Z-pleat
in the centre. The design of the skirt,
with its unusual yoke effect, is es
pecially suited TO heavy galatea pique
or very light weight two-toned cloth.
This yoke is quite fashionable with
New York women, and gives quite a
trimmed appearance to an otherwise
plain skirt.
The salient feature Of the brown
covert cloth one, trimmed with
stitched bands, shown at the right,
is its charmingIy unique little jacket.
