WOMAN AND FASHION, frcaent Styles and Incoming Modes. The Chemise Corset— What Bright Women Are Doing. Conflicting rumors are afloat concerning the coming modes, but it is safe to assert that ruffles of all sorts will characterize the summer fashions. The newest. dress skirts arc fitted very c i osely about the hips and are increasing in TRIMMED WITH FLOWERS AND PLUMES, length. Paris gowns of recent importation are some of them ruffled from waist to hem ; others are finished with two or more flounces. Women with tall, slender figures will welcome these ruffles and flounces, but short women should take the new style with modifications. Fortunately cordings and puffings are • included among fashionable trimmings. The three flounces reaching from the hem to the waist form the front breadth to many brocaded gowns, and the only form double skirts are likely to take as yet will be the overskirt with an under petticoat visible, sometimes only at the front, but often at the sides also. Skirts are lengthening inconveniently for ball wear. The pouch bodices are the prevailing style for evening gowns, the fronts being often of contrast!-g color or white with a colored dress. But bo advised and order no more gowns in that style. It has been dene to death. In millinery the tendency seems to be toward the use of a profusion of white. The crowns are often cloven, and many of the brims are edged with a feather ruche, for the tight bound brims are seldom used. They are generally gathered or in bouillonnes, and paradise plumes f gure on many of them. White violets are much in favor now and Parma violets, especially on white satin headgear. Satin crowns with willow brims are likely to be the coming fashion. Brown, navy and cardinal are the three colors most fashionably worn, with as much cream as it is possible to have. Among attractive models seen recently is a hat in green, with garniture composed of chrysanthemums ana plumes. A rosette of orange colored velvet is placed under the brim. The Chemise Corset. The chemise corset, a Parisian novelty, is thus described in the New York Herald: The chemiso portion is of frilled white cam bi ic made very long. It opens down the center in front and fastens Wl MH 11 i 11 ll™ : Hid Mai NOVEL CHEMISE CORSET. with buttons from top to bottom. It is trimmed with a wide border of lace and insertion. It is very decollete and can be tied in close by a small cord passing through a purl. The other part is a waistband corselet of cambric stiffened with whalebone and kept up by braces of blue ribbon. It is ornamented in front with large rosettes of Line moire, having broad ends which fall over and conceal the fastening. What Bright Women Are Doing. Mrs. Julia Ward Hoyve is preparing a book of reminiscences. It will contain not only a history of the women’s movement, in which she has always been deeply interested, but of English and American literature of the last half century as well. According to the New Y T ork Herald, the “social promoter” is carrying things with a high hand in Washington. lor a cash consideration it is quite possible for anybody to become “introduced. The only rcouisite is sufficient money to make your entry worth while to seme Washington society woman who will take you under her wing. Women of national repute have adopted the profession, and one of them has even gone so far as to advertise in the newspapers for “clients. ”

JESTS OF THE JOKERS. | He was a mere stripling of a lad. He might have been 7 years of age, or he might have been 9. Nobody could tell by looking at bis face. The only mark of certainty about the youthful counte- ' nance was the sure sign that some of his ancestors had come from old Ireland. The little fellow walked hastily into the office of the warrant clerk of Recorder Finnegan’s court, pushed through the crowd and caught the attention of the clerk with this odd demand: “I want to make an affidavit against I my pa!” And he pushed his little red j head around the side of the desk. “You want what?” queried the clerk, i “I want to swear against pa,’’said the boy again. “He has just been in a I prizefight with ma.” “Well, why don’t your ma swear out j the warrant against pa? My boy, you arc too young. You won’t fill the bill.” I “My ma can’t come, and she wanted i me to fix it up for her. ” “Why could she not come?” asked I the clerk, getting interested in the I youngster’s story. He could not imagine I why the wife would not bo only too ’ willing to swear out the warrant. “My pa and ma, they got in the fight in the kitchen. That is how it happened. My pa made a drive for her, but j didn’t land, and then my ma she grab- | bed up the rollin pin and floored t’-e old man. rhe is now sittin on him. I holdin him down, and that is why s 1 e couldn’t come to swear against him. She sent me.”—New Orleans Times-Demo-crat. Time, Two Minutes. “Miss Daisy, you are writing to that little brother of yours who is visiting out west, aren’t you?” “Yes. He’s a dear little fellow. I miss him so much!” “He is indeed. Have you sealed the letter yet, Miss Daisy?’ “Not yet.” “Add a postscript, if you please, ami tell him I want to know how he would like me for • big brother.” (Demurely) “Mr. Spoouamore, it w be at least two weeks before you get an answer—if you ask him.” And the matter was settled in abort two minutes.—Chicago Tribune. Mistake Somewhere. First Britisher—There goes the Duke of Muddy vvater. He’s an absolutely worthless fellow. Second Ditto—Worthless? Oh, I don’t know! First Britisher—Yes, he is. He has been refused by three American heiresses. Second Ditto—You don’t say so! Well, he must be xvorthless.—Harlem Life. Tact. “This ticket,” be said to his wife, “says, ‘Vote for the best man.’ ” “I don’t see how you can do that, dear,” said his wife, "when you are not running.” And then he put his arm around her and said, “If it’s a new hat you want, I Molly, jxjst get it and send me the bill. ” j —Atlanta Constitution. A Very Young “New Woman.” A little girl out on Euclid avenue, in closing her prayer the ether night, said, “A-men and a-women. ” Her mother said, “My child, why do you say ‘A-xvomen?’ ” “Oh,” said she, “I don’t want the men to have it all.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Expert Testimony. “Liquor,” said the temperance orator, “causes nearly all the unhappiness there is in this world.” “That’s right, colonel,” exclaimed a Kentuckian in the back of the hall. “I’m always unhappy when I can’t get it.” —Chicago News. Preparing a Souvenir of Childhood. Fond Mother—l want to get something for my little Icy of B—something he will remember me by. Floor Waffler—Ah, yes. Here, cash. Show this lady to the slipper counter.— 8., K. & Co.’s Monthly. In Cultured Old Boston. i “Can you let me have a five spot for a few days?” asked the New Yorker I his Boston friend. “I'm dead broke ” “Sorry,” was the Bostonian’s reply. “I also suffer from a fatal fracture.” — Chicago News. Large Capacity. “Idon’t think that Smartly’sso overdeep. ’ ’ “Did you ever try to fill him up?”— Detroit Free Press. Paying Him Back. p ugs —Now, I guess I’ve shown master how it seems to have your fur rubbed the wrong way!—New York Journal. A Song of Better Times. The samovar is singing low; The astral’s wick is new. Without the winds of winter blow, And snow is flying too. Wi 're seven stories up, I know— A mighty clhnb, 'tis true. A thousand chimneys stretch away. Like merry ghosts they seem. Across tbe night, adown the bay. We see a torchlight’s gleam, And then I hear her gently say, “It seems just like a dream.” Though scant our hoard, two weeks ago We fared not half so well. I then wro'e poems on the snow, And none of them would sell, But with my shovel I've made - ‘dough'’ E’er since the last snow fell. —New York World.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY. Edwin Hurd Conger of lowa, the newly appointed minister to China, who is to be transferred from the Brazilian post, whexe he was serving his second term as minister when selected to go to Peking, is regarded as an experienced and BrS W lOr i EDWIN H. CONGER. skillful diplomat and one who will be equal to any emergency which may arise in the troubled orient. His place | in Rio Janeiro will be filled by Charles i Page Bryan, who was slated for the China post before the recent complication in the east came up. Mr. Conger is a native of Knox county, Ills., whero he was born in 1843. After graduating from Lombard university he entered the Union army as private and came out a captain. Then he studied law, was admitted to Abe bar in Galesburg and in 1868 removed to Dexter, la., where he became interested in farming, stock raising and banking.

Marion Olive Hanson, who is to become the wife of Ignatius Donnelly, the famous Shakespearean scholar, author, editor and politician, is a tall, graceful, fair haired and handsome Norwegian girl who is not yet 21. Donnelly is 66. Miss Hanson has been employed for to MAIUON OLIVE HANSON. nearly two ysars as stenographer in the office and home of the great cryptogramist and by her bright smiles, sunny disposition and) quick intelligence won the Iteart ol her employer, who has been a widower for nearly three years. She was boru in Norway, but when a child came io the United States with her parents. Uhey settled in Minneapolis. After leaving school she took a course in a business college, where she learned stenography and typewriting, and then started out to earn her own living. She was having a hard time of it until she went into Mr. Donnelly’s office. Now her future is very bright indeed. A Tramp’s Speculation. A tramp went into Manspeaker’s groeery store at Topeka tbe other day, where he noticed a big box of soap labeled, “A cake for 1 cent.” He approached Mr. Manspeaker and said, “I am broke, but if you will trust me for 25 cakes of that soap I will pay you in less than an hour.” Manspeaker had a curiosity to get into the tramp’s game and consented to the deal. The tramp took the soap over to where the plug tobacco is kept and carefully wrapped each cake in a bit of tin foil procured from the tobacco boxes. He then went out upon a street corner and announced to passersby that he had for sale “the genuine Arabic frankincense ambrosial shaving soap, guaranteed to soften the hairs of the face until a dull knife could cut them and certain to last ten times as long as any other soap in the market. ” Inside of half an hour he had gold every cake at 25 cents each. He paid Mr. Manspeaker 25 cents and I walked off with a clear profit of $6 in his pocket. —Lawrence (Kan.) Journal. Sluxomimr. Slumming has been dabbled in as children in whits cambric frocks poke at frogs along the margin of a pond with pink parasols. English persons were the first to parody the life work of certain great men of the last 50 years | by performing in this matter of visiting the poor in away which left nothing to the imagination of the editors of Punch. They bad only to copy as they copied the fantastic art of the aesthetic school, which made good taste gro tesque. In this country the best papers have endeavored to show up, as they always do any absurdities, the offensive charity of the call by the rich in brough- : ams and the 25 cent donation which have invaded the dignity of poverty in worthy families who are starving.— Rose Hawthorne Lathrop in Roma. Foreign postoflice people are so ignorant that they frequently take the word “esquire” for a place, the consequence of which is that scores of.letters go astray in the course of a year.
