STREET GOWN. A Very Beautiful and Jaunty Street Gown of Brown Zibeline. A jaunty street gown is here shown. The material is brown camel’s hail zibiline, and the stitching is done with brown Corticelli stitching silk. The jacket has a very novel, loosr front, cut in overlapping sections, and the turn-down collar and oblong re vers are of tapestry embroidery, edged with zibeline straps. The' jacket hooks invisibly in front, the silk cord and tassels being entirely ornamental. The sleeves have vertical tucks that widen toward the bottom and flar. over full puffs of biscuit silk. The skirt has clusters of tucks at each side of the panel front, and a new ar--f-J j I rangement of tucks is shown in the back gores. Trimmings seem to be still in their infancy although it is certain that braids of all kinds, grel ots, pessementerie and tassels will lie evident throughout the entire season. Mohair and fancy braids are much employed, also the cord brandenburgs. Cord tied in loops ond fastened with a cord button in double breasted style on jackets is much favored, a line of cord defining the shoulder seam and falling, epaulette fashion, on the sleeve. Straps are seen to some extent, especially in the form of cut-out cloth bauds applied to revers and cuffs. LIVERY SALE. Auditor Abe Boch Advertising for February 28. Auditor Abe Boch is circulating large juicy bills all over the universe, advertising the sale of livery stock at the First street barn, which is due ore week from Saturday, or February 28. The sale should draw a large crowd of active bidders. Everything to be offered for sale has the brand of quality about it and has seen but little service. Auditor Boch has not been engaged in the livery business for! several years and he came into pos session of this stock but a short time ago. As printer’s ink has been put to a good test, the sale on the 28th will no doubt be a hummer. E. L. Carroll made a business trip j to Fort Wayne this afternoon. Mrs. John Riter returned this afternoon from a several days’ visit with her parents at Portland.
