FASHIONABLE FRILLS.
Fresh Feminine Emery In Vogue Among the DevOtees of
 Dress.

Four buckles are the latest, says the Brooklyn Life.
 Ostrich tips show pointed tip of jet or metal attached to the quill.
 A mixture of colors prevails in mill linery, bright cerise and violet among others.
 touch of tangerine or flame color forms an admirable addition to coat of moIeskin or seal.
 Moleskin composed the buckle that caught the drapery on white beaver toque recently exhibited.
 Ombre effects are popular in milli- nery. This is especially the case with ostrich feathers, which are dyed in a whole gamut of tints.
 Orange and green chenille ornament and fringe distinguished one short basqued coat of the finest breitschwanz brought out this season.
 For wear with the high-heeled shoes that are now the vogue, special style of rubber sandal with elongated strap at the back has been introduced.
 Many of the fur coats have simulated waistcoats of pomegranate embroidered velvet, and touch of this embroidery is introduced on the hat or toque.
 Applications of painted velvet, the prettiest designs representing wreaths and bouquets of crimson roses, are the latest adjunct to a black crepe de chine gown

MODERN DRAwINGRO6Ms.
They show New Era of Simplicity and True Artistic Sense
 in the Home.

How different is the drawing-room now from that of generation ago. even of half a generationl Writers in the women's newspapers in England are commenting on the fact with keen ap- preciation of the change, and in this country it is even more in evidence than across the sea, says the New York Sun.
 The wax fruits, the woolen an- timacassars of the last generation passed away with the stuffed birds and the wealth of artificial orange blossoms under glass cases long ago. The pres ent generation has almost forgotten them
 It does remember better the chenille monkeys that used to climb over the gas fixtures on the walls, the yards upon yards of art muslin that used to be turned over chairs and flower pots, and the sofas that came in when the horse hair period expired. And it regrets them and the array of Japanese plates on the wall even less
 That period of eccentricity in decora- tion has passed.
 "The modern drawing-room," said a man interested in the development of domestic art the other day, is, under proper auspices, now picture of re- fined simplicity, an epitome of art and a real haven of rest.
 ''The furnishers and decorators have combined with housewives of more de- veloped tastes and better ideas than their predecessors to make 1t so. They have borrowed from the past all the best ideas it had, and they have added them to the conveniences of the present.
 ''Take the taste in wall coverings. Crudely colored, gaudy papers, display ing impossible flowers and grotesque semi-conventional designs, have been abandoned in favor of self-colored pa pers, striped ones showing variants of one color, silken hangings, tapestries and stenciled sackcloth arranged in pam els after the old method.
 "Then the carpets Where beautiful rugs, the highest development of the weaver's art, have not replaced them we have velvet pile, with a border repeating the main color in many tones.
 And for chair coverings we have kept the old-world chintz, redolent of an age when women wore white, lavender or cinnamon, pale blue and simple pink, and dressed their hair in ringlets.
 Taking the drawing-room as indi- eating the artistic sense of the period, surely we have every reason to be proud of the progress of art in the home."

Jeff's claim to kinship with the dead president of the Southern Confectionery received a bad puncture from the caustic lance of Colonel Murphy the other night at Hot Springs, when the latter said; If this base pol troon shared one drop of the blood of this grand and courage ous knight of honor, no matter how remote the descent or heri- tage, it's ripe, red, vigorous life would rend his timorous veins and burst his cowardly heart.
