MANDATES OF FASHION.
Wear and other Dress Notions
of the Season.

Repousse lace in two tones is one Of
The new fads. With the raised design
Il ecru, upon blue ground, it is espe-
Hally effective, says the Chicago Daily
News.
sprigged or lowered brussels net or
malines with lace or scalloped edge is
effective and becoming when the
thread lace veil is beyond reach.
The loose unlined jacket of lace adds
much to the summer gowns modish-
ness. 1t should not reach more than a
few inches below the waist line, at its
longest in the back, and may escape
the waist line entirely, but must be
longer in front, possibly falling in
scarf ends to the bottom of the skirt.
The thing of the moment is the new
eoat-or, rather, cape-made of the
same cloth as the skirt. This takes the
place of the loose bolero and on cool
days will be worn instead of the stole,
boa or ruffie. These capes are also
made in coarse lace, guipure or en-
broidery, and, indeed, out of anything
that is handsome enough to correspond
with the skirt beneath.
For a number of seasons now we
have been informed that blue and
green (the Scotch plaid colors) are
passe and therefore beneath the con-
sideration of the smart woman. But
French milliners still conjure with
blue and green creations. These are
either in the various toque shapes or
in stiff hats. The shades are Of two
sorts-the soft blue of the sky and the
delicate green Of spring foliage and
the deeper greens and blues famous in
the tartans. These charming schemes
are worked out in fine straws and rib
bons; quilts, foliage and flowers are
often added So is tulle.
Novelty in stocks is not so easy to
achieve. Every conceivable thing has
been thought out. A good idea, new in
the shops and easily duplicated at
home, is 10 run the "tabs" all the way
around, instead of combining them 10
the front. The stock seen was first a
straight band Of white embroidery
To the top Of it were stitched tabs OF
blue linen, little distance apart, and
caught in at the bottom OF the band to
fit the neck. These tabs varied in
length, some running two inches be-
low the band, some three or four. The
ends were pointed and ornamented
with round medallions Of white en-
broidery. Another idea is a straight
high collar of blue or olive green linen,
with lily or butterfly embroidered
in white on the front. Each side of the
design is deep curved turnover Of
white linen, and there is a double tab
of the white, with another lily or but
terfy on the lower tab.

THE STOCKING BASKET.
IL Contains work About which There
Ii n Peculiar Charm for
the Housewife.

Mending stockings might well be
thought prosaic occupation, if not a
dull one. The woman who sits down
every week before 20 pairs, worn by
active feet, big and little, often finds
the pile discouraging, although she
would not have it smaller by single
pair, says Youths Companion.
But there is a curious, half-myster-
ious charm in the work. 1t is as il it
typified all wifely and motherly duty.
Even the maiden aunt, with a darning-
needle in her hand. has the air of the
matron. The contest corner in the
house is most fit for the stocking
basket and its presiding genius. An
ineontestable verdict against a gor-
geous palace recently built by rich
man was pronounced by woman, her
self both refined and rich: There isn't
a spot in the whole house where Icould
darn a stocking."
1t is amusing or pathetic but true,
that the modern stocking should have
taken the place held by the medieval
shield. To bide at home and polish the
shield was then the sign of wifely de-
votion. The worn stocking may not
lend itself so easily to the demands of
poetry. but it is none the less beauti-
full and appropriate symbol.
There was a time within 20 years
when it seemed as if stocking-mending
were doomed. The needle was temper
arily discarded. .bclever writer, speak
ing of the fact, said it was the natural
reaction from an age which worked
wool parrots with beaded eyes TO an
age which hires outsiders to darn its
stockings. But to-day the pendulum
has swung back. and my lady presides
again over the stocking basket
whether il is filled with dainty Partisan
hose Of silk. or with stout wooden
socks. fit for tussle with thorn and
wind and weather

The 41st annual session of the Grand

last Thursday. These officers were
elected: &c. c. t., C. H. Hayden OF

members and 10 lodges, the largest in

ascribed TO the effects of high license
agitation which awakened the interest
Of temperance people and TO the small

NJ. G. NJ. Seretti of Barre, the New
York Italian editor. is at liberty, still
he is the prisoner OF his friends. The
secret of police retention of Serretti
has leaked out and it was no more or
less than the fear that he would be as
sassinated. The evidence now in the
hands of the state is such to show that
a crowd of anarchists went to the So
cialist hall at Barre, Oct. 3, with the
avowed purpose of doing harm, and
Serretti was the marked man. He
says himself that had he been three
minutes later ON River street he would
have been a dead man. Serretti Is
secreted at Mortified, and there are
never less than four men with him at
any time. The city of Barre is now
the recognized hot-bed of anarchism
in the country. Many Paterson reds
have moved there, and the atmosphere
has become so full OF it that one ltal-
ian said many OF his countrymen were
afraid to speak above whisper, lest
they receive orders to get out OF town.
The goth annual convention of the

the high license campaign last year.

been added to the union since the last
convention. The Norwegian system
of dealing with the liquor traffic was
denounced by one speaker. Accord
ing to another the w. G. 7. U. does
not believe in churches and colleges
receiving gifts from distilleries and
breweries and would eliminate from
the franchise system the Ignorant and
foreign-born voter, believing that II
was not the native Vermonters who
made the majority for license. The
union was urged to work for national
prohibition and for the payment TO
women of equal wages with
men for equal hours OF equal labor
