ENAMEL FOR STUDS AND LINKS.
London Fads for Evening Dress
Displace Pearl and
Plain Gold.

1t is no longer correct to say that no
gentleman would ever think of wearing
anything but mother of pearl or PLAIN
gold stud links In an evening shirt
Enamels are being very much used for
these adjuncts Of evening dress, and
when lightly treated are certainly beau
tiful for waistcoat buttons; links and
studs of pale rose enamel on gold, with
raised design in the center of bril-
liants, are now made.
Another design is a set of studs made
of white enamel in hexagon form. out
lined with diamonds, and the effect on
the shirt front Is extremely good, giving
the appearance of diamonds only and
causing people to wonder how they are
fitted to the shirt. Single studs are not
nearly so much worn as formerly, and
perhaps two studs are more fashionable
than three, though it is purely a mat
ter Of taste
The very latest design for studs and
! links is bright crimson enamel with
Louis XVI. latticework Of diamonds in
platinum over enamel. White waist
coat buttons are nearly always fanoied
nowadays Though some men still pre-
fer plain mother-of-pearl, lately q ten
dency has come In TO have these pearl
buttons outlined with platinum or plain
gold and studded with either a diamond
or a coiored jewel. They occasionally
are made of onyx with diamond In the
center, and these lock well even with a
black dress waistcoat- But the smart
est men Of the day not fnfrequently arc
seen with waistcoat buttons matching
| their studs and links.

a ee@@y gypsy Aco ~ ".
Last Thursday afternoon. a mer-
~ party of young people, under
the Chaperonage of Mrs. A. E.
Darrah. accompanied by Miss Jose
phine Tardiff, drove to Alliquippa
Park to enjoy the cool breezes and
gentle showers Of the country; for
we are told that the not too gentle
rain that enlivened our ride out to
the park did not extend to the city
but seemed to have been the result
of bright conception, originating
in the fertile brain of Jupiter Plu-
vius, who, no doubt, thought we
would need fresh water in the man
ufacture of our "Gipsy Tea.
We journeyed forth in the Union
City tallyho, or at least the nearest
approach to the tallyho that we
have ever seen in this otherwise
not more progressive and up-to-
date city.
The maker and builder of that
wagon did not seem to remember,
at the time of construction, that
way of lngress and egress would
ever be necessary for it was beyond
our power to discover anything
whereupon to place one foot in
order to get the other foot off the
ground; and after once getting in
by gracefully sealing the side of
the vehicle, : the best means that
presented itself to us by which we
might be able to get out again, was
to stand on top of the wheel, pick
nice soft spot, mutter a short
prayer, close your eyes and Jump,
and we we're sure to reach terra
firma speedily, and quite frequent-
ly, safely.
That wagon is certainly very |
much like the man who fashioned |
it: "Feartully and wonderfully |
made"
AS we had defied Father Time
by disdaining to take anything
with us more nearly resembling a
watch than chicken sandwich, we
waited till the town whistles told
us it was 6 o'clock before spreading
our supper, to which every one did
ample justice, then we started on
our homeward way.
Arriving in the city much earlier
than we intended we concluded to
use the remainder of our time in
hay ride tor, while we make it
,ule never to stay beyond the time
allotted to us by our mothers, we
ion't make a very great effort to
ret back before that time.
Our "stay-at-home" friends were.
doubt. made merry by the
aughter and songs that foated out .
rom our wagon, as we drove up on
me street and down another; for
he leader of our chorus, MissKath-
cen Reynolds, seemed to know
very song written within the last
i've years and bright toasts and
teen witticisms enough to keep
Iull care in the background TOR
