Revival of interest in commercial.
life in Austria has manifested itself
in a contemplated "fair" and in a re-
vival Of fashions which include a new
shade suggested perhaps by the gen.
eral discomfort, and called malice

BY means of the fair" exposition, q
new institution for Austria, business
men hope to revive commerce by for
eign merchants for which raw materi-
ais and semi-manufactures will be i'm
ported.
A certain revival of enterprise also
is manifested in the prevailing fash
ion. In contrast to the rather mo-
notonous shades of the last few years,
modes revel in the EXTREMIST color
"~giftgrun" ("malice green" 'spiteful
green" "arsenic green") is the color
Of the season. In the bathrooms
dresses blaze forth in malice green"
In the streets this glaring green is
subdued a little by black; but even
in the most discreet robes the belt Or
tie must be lined with green, or from

hats peep out coquettish little bows
