Novelties In Ribbons--Scant Sleeves
In Vogue-Cotton Blouse.
There are absolute novelties in rib
bons, and one Of the most beautiful
is in blue brocade with raised figures
Of roses worked in gold. The ribbon
Is enormously expensive. selling well
up In price, but looking at it critically
one cannot but be struck with the idea
that it could be easily duplicated by
hand. A skillful needle worker could
buy three yards Of brocaded blue rib
bon, and with spool Of gold thread
one could work the roses so that they
would stand out In beautiful relief.
Many Of the new sleeves are cut
scant and ft the arm quite closely.

We were soon to realize the extent OF our privi-

to our reverent humility. Our inspection was near

names in the visitors book when another party at

our thanks. Our hostess said she might be occupied
nearly every day unless she used some means to

She then pointed out two swords hanging in the
hall. one used by Fletcher Webster in the Mexican
War and the other Spanish weapon. evidently
captured from the enemy. bearing this inscription
in Spanish:

The inconsiderste conduct of the visitors in walk

The old carriage and the exterior OF the office

TO give them up and IN an indefinite way gave
the impression that the price would be con

something about the pity Of it that many objects

not be even possessed by those of his own blood

arouse the feeling that the nation has not shown

be that the burial place Of Webster is such as his
