Ribbon for Gizdzes.

Very wide ribbons are now seen in the
shops for making the fancy girdies so
much worn. Some OF these ribbons have
a Dresden effect. others are gay with
enormous roses In red or pink, and most
Of them are at least twelve inches in
width. In making the girdles the rib
bon is shirred on fitted lining and
laced in the back by means of narrow
ribbon through little silk covered rings
These girdleS may be either pointed in
the back and front or of the same width
all the way round.

Entertain Guests With a MuSiCOI Game

There seems TO be a great demand for
musical games. Here is one not alto
gether new. but very good. The words
in quotation marks are all titles OF
pieces of music, most of them songs
The story Is read, except where the title
makes the sentence, and then the melody
is played upon the piano. This must be
done rapidly. the piano picking ND the
thread the moment the reading closes.
Pencils and paper must be given each

correct receives a prize. A consolation
prize also should be given. The candy

Gems of Buttons.

At last the wheel has turned to the
fashion of fancy buttons. Now is the
hour to get out our ancient treasures
Jeweled buttons will be much worn this
fall and winter, amethysts. rubies, to-
PAGES. and emeralds, being generally
employed. Many Of these buttons are
surrounded with rhinestones and with
this fra med effect they look very much
like brooches Among the new styles are
miniature buttons decorated with por-
traits of famous court beauties of 10
years ago. and Dresden buttons or
which appear the Napoleonic wreath.

Circular Skirts.

The circular skirts. which will be SC
much worn. will be very wide, six yards
around not being an unusual width for
a tailored skirt. In the instep length
these skirts are usually trimmed with
stitched bands OF the same material al
though some OF the longer ones are trim
med with braid. and many OF the new
styles are not confined to the circular
skirt with seams only in the back and
front. but Will show many new and
original ideas.

The new braids. particularly those
used for belts. are very noticeable for
the combination Of gold thread with
bright colors. Some OF the prettiest OF
these are silk brsids in gay piaids. with

others nave a white or colored back

Mr. Hastings wanted 10 know where

II was suggested that below the
Halliday Hotel would be the proper
place II permission could be OBJ aimed
to lay il through private grounds
Alderman Jocelyn said shat, accord
ing 20 a certain civil engineer the
proper fan for a sewer from Twenty
fourth street to Second street could
nor be obtained.
Alderman wood thought this was
very probable, inasmuch as the
streets in the upper portion Of the
city We're three feet below the estab
l!shei grade Of the grade monument
on Six street.
II was thought however, hat or
account of the size of the sewer it
would MT be necessary 10 have a
great fail.
Considerable discussion was indul-
eed regarding the statement in the
report that he citys par Of the cost
would be about 22ta per cent
Alderman Wood said: 1T does
seem that the city should be able TO
bear some part Of the expense Of this
improvement, but there is no way, in
my cp MON. tha the civ could pay
any part OF it out Of the general fund
considering the condition OF the reyc-
nue. al the present time. unless bonds
of some sort can be issued. The reye

He said that ST. 500 had been paid for
improving the streets last year and
thai about 81 coo had been spent loi
gravel. The payment per year on
100000 Improvement would be only
$4,000 and almost his amount could
be saved ON street Improvements.
Alderman Lawler said tina jhe
brick crossings laid during the month
just passed would pay the asss ssment
for one year on 100000 Improvement
Mayor Winter had signed the re
port. but he did not agree with IT, The
81 y was running short and the reve
nue. was not coming in to pay for the
Improvements
The general opinion was that the
paving with brick would lessen the
cost Of street repairing each year.
Il was also contended that with the
improvement Of he streets property
would be improved, would increase in
value, and consequent Iy would add to
the city's revenue by taxation
