THE WHlRl OF FASHION,

Side plated founces, straight or cir
cular in form, appear on very many of
the skirts Of both day and evening
gowns.
Fancy lacing decorates many OF the
new bodices and cuirass corsages fas-
tened at the back, and the lacing also
shows on slashed skirts.
Tailor made gowns Of pink, white
and blue plque, holland, linen duck,
grass cloth and chambray are the most
novel and stylish fad Of the summer
season.
Embroidered batistes, india mulls
and swiss muslins are worn in great
variety this summer, and black and
white combinations are notably In evil
dence among these gowns.
White straw Gainsborough and Dev.
onshire hats laden with snowy plumes
are the very latest expression of Pari-
sian style and elegance. Choux and
draperies Of the richest lace are added,
but flowers of any description are es-
chewed.
Sashes OF all description are seen on
every sort of summer gown, from the
simply draped scarf of plain batste,
chambray or swiss muslin on the
morning gown to the directoire and
Louis Quinze sashes of embroidered
chiffon. crepe de chine or satin on the
elaborate evening toiet.-New York

A TALE OF TWO TICKETS.
Their owner Gave Himself n Lot Of
Iraecensnry TrouhIe.


Horace Icrner and the lady whom he
called an angel, years ago, moved out
to Evanston about the 1st OF June for
the summer. Mr.. Turner bought a rail
road Communication ticket for the pur-
pose of saving money. There were 60
rides on the ticket, which cost him SO.
II won't use all these rides" he ex-
planned to his wife, "but I'll come pretty
near it-near enough to bring the fare
down to n or ~ cents n ride anyway.
You see, IL we 20 into the city to the the
alter or If / have to go in on Sunday |
can use my Communication ticket, and it'll
be just the same ms if I rode free"
That was reasonable enough, but Mr..
Turner didn't happen to go into the city
at night or on Sunday during June, and
the consequence was that he had about a
dozen rides left on his ticket when the
month was ended.
But he didn't mind that. He felt that
he was ahead of the game anyway, and
he went up to the station on the LIST of
July and bought another monthly ticket,
promising himself to even things up by
doing more extra riding on Sunday and
at night. Meanwhile he kept his old tick
ct in his pocket, having forgotten all
about it.
One day when the weather changed he
put on a heavier suit OF clothes. When
he was riding into the city the next
morning, he handed out his ticket to be
punched and kept on reading his paper as
he did so.
"This is last months ticket" the con.
ductor informed him. cts no good"
Then Mr.. Turner looked and saw that
II was so. He felt for his July ticket,
but couldn't find it. Evidently he had
fshed the wrong one from his pocket
when he had changed his clothes. He
tried to convince the conductor that he
was an honest man and would permit his
good ticket to be punched twice next time,
but it was n useless effort. Is he had been
a pretty young woman. his plea might
have counted for something. AS it was,
the rules had TO be observed SO be paid
the full cash fare, rammed his old ticket
into his pocket and told several passen-
gers who sat near him what robbers the
railroad companies were.
He happened to think Of his ticket be.
fore he left home the next morning and
rode into the city without any trouble.
During the day he had occasion to rum
mage in his coat pocket for letter and
while doing SO fshed out n railroad ticket
There's that COMPOUNDED old June
ticket again." he said. I'm just tear il
up, so that won't make another mistake
when l change my clothes again"
| He ripped it into little bits without
looking at it n second time and forgot i,
until he was going home at night When
the conductor came along, Mr. Turner
handed out his ticket and looked at the
headlines in his paper.
This is no good" said the man with
the punch: last months"
Horace Turner looked. There was pri
ma facie evidence that he was unable tc
shatter. Then he paid his fare again
and made solemn vow that he would
never buy another communication ticket n:
long as he lived.-Chicago Record Herald
