Froeb A Faslg, No. 04 Main street offer superior inducements to purchasers of harness, saddles, horse blankets, lap robes, dusters and articles of that sort, Give them a call. JU,

Lap-dusters, horse-oovers and leather fiy-nets may be bought now at reduced prices, at Miller A Arleth's. Also fine buggy harness and heavy wagon harness very cheap. Store on Fourth street, between Main and Ohio.

The most of those stylish suits fashion able young gents are now wearing come from Brenuan, the Ohio street tailor. Mr. Brennan has the finest assortment of piece goods to bo found in the city and makes up suits to order ten per cent, lower than his Main street competitors.

Mr. T. H. Riddle's "Trimming Store" is at present well supplied with all the fashionable things in the way of ladies' furnishing goods and millinery, and as is always the case, offers greats induce ments to cash-paying customers. Ladies who are thoroughly posted do the most of their trading at the "Trimming Store."

In tho confectionery line W. H. Scudder has the creain of .the trade—the ice cream of the trade, in fact—and those who always like to have the best of everything going may rest assured that in his specialties, Scudder has no equal. His elegant parlors have been newly fUrnished and decorated this season and no finer can be found in any city in the State.

The very choicest fruit, both foreign and domestic, may be found at all times in the greatest profusion at White A Mewhinney's, and can be purchased of them in either large or small quantities at the most reasonable prices. Their general stock of nuts, confectionery and fireworks is also very largo and complete, and the firm proposes to continue to lead the trade in these articles. Qo to Headquarters. I

In buying expensive articles like pianos and organs it is not only impor tant that you get an instrument of acknowledged merit but, for your own safety in the future, tbat you get it ol thoroughly responsible dealers. We know Messrs. W. H. Paige A Co., of this city, to be men whom in this respect we can safely recommend. They keep the best of instruments and their -wordtan be relied upen under all circumstances.

The proprietors of the Central Book store extend a cordial invitation to everybody to call and examine their very large and elegant stock of pictures, books, games, stationery, and ten thousand and one other articles that make their place so attractive to cultivated people. Everything pertaining to a first-class city boo If Store may be found at their establishment, and all customers will bo treated with courtesy and charged reasonable prices for what they buy.

For handsome jewelry, fine watches and elegant silver ware, no establishment in this city offers greater inducements than that of Mr. T. H. Riddle. It Is the constant aim of the proprietor to keep the stock full and up with the times. Goods are sold at fair prices and everything guaranteed to be just as represented, and Mr. Riddle's guarantee, as is well known In this region, is worth something. For anything in this line, there is no better place to go than to T. H. Riddle's.

There is no delicacy on sale in this msrket that cannot be found in its perfection at Rippetoe's. At Rippetoe'a you get the very best of everything in either +he line of fruit, vegetables, or staple groceries, and generally at pricea much lower than are charged by the smaller dealers. Rippetoe has two stores—one st 155 ^lain street, the old "White Front" stand, and the other on Fourth street, the first house north of the Market House. You will be treared as well in one as the other and parsons who consult their own intersat will do well to buy at one of these.

SECRETS OF THE LATEST IOWA ,t Women'* (Jlolhe* Made to Fit Cloacr Than

Men's.

A Parisian lady is not mid to be dressed nowadays, nor does s|ie even order a dress to be made for her. She asks her dressmaker to mould a dresa upon her, and, when this is done, she is called a moute.

To be moulded, you must begin by adapting every article of your underolothlng to the shspe and sise prescribed by fashion. Therein lies tne only secret of perfection in dress which the Parisiemtc possesses over other women. Next to the Dartiienne is the American woman who la oonaldered to be "the best dressed." She has one fault, however—she is not si ways juponne according to the requirements or her toilet.

As a rule, each dress should have its separate set of skirts, to be worn exclusively with it, and this should be supplied by the dressmaker herself, ss it should always be almost of the ssme length and width as the skirt of the dress, and always of the same ahape. Now two underskirts, at the utmost, are worn. Tbe one which accompanies the dress, and which is of white muslin, is trimmed with laoe insertions and edgings. No flounces are worn on underskirts. They are too bulky for the pres-ent-style of drees.

The skirt to bo worn under this muslin skirt is of white foulard, which material clings better than any other to the figure. And the skirt (which is gored, so as not to form a single plait) is stitched to the edge of the corset, in order to leave the figure perfectly untrammeled by band or belt, however thin. The skirt is also trimmed with laoe insertion and edging. The corset Is very long—a la Jeanne Are. As' a guide, it should be of tbe length of the drees cuirasse, which cuirasse, by, the by, is now only simulated by trimming on the dress. This, again, is to avoid extra size to tbe figure.

Some dispense with tbe second skirt of white silk they wear au undergarment of white silk under the corset, wiifoh garment they trim with lace, as if it were a skirt. It is made as long as ordinary skirts, and it takes the place of one. In reality, thorefore, no skirts are worn by the most strict.

To recapitulate, a faslonable lady's toilet now consists of a white silk bodice inlaid with Valenciennes, which white silk bodice is continued into a skirt, which is also richly trimmed with lace Insertions and edging. This garment answers two purposes and is 'called by two names. Then comes the long cuirasse corset of white or pink satin, which improves the whole figure. An extra white foulard skirt may be stitched to tbe edge of tbe corset, but this is not necessary. Itshould, however, be worn under costumes not provided with a special underskirt of tkeir own. The dress itself, of whatever, material it may be, is of the princess shape—that is, in one piece from neck to hem of the skirt.

The trimmings en tbe dress simulate cuirasse and even tunic. But separate cuirasses or tunics are quite laid aside, as being too bulky, ana hiding the outlines of the figure toe much. It thus follows that nothing is worn under a dress body, except the under cerset. Bad, indeed, must look the figure tbat does not look moulded under this system of underclothing. You may wear a cotton dress of five dollars, if you will, but under this must be worn the finest foulards and the richest lace.

Nor is it the dresmaker who can make the figure. This depends entirely upon the corset manufacturer. There Is even a talk of having dress cuirasses made by corset makers, and the skirts would then be fastened to tbe corset, whloh would at the same time form the body of the dress.—[From Scribner's Monthly.

STREET SAUNTERING. Sauntering in town and city streets used to be one of the fine arts. It was an avowed, recognized display of figure, ait*. Jmd dress. Those doiw at alj were under an obligation to do it well. Bits of nearly every street were made occasionally picturesque by it while some favorite pavements, at understood hours, were as gt«d as a show. Style of walking was one of tbe things stamping city breeding. Village people, saving in the case oi a few born with a genius for it, could never quite attain to the right manner. A rusticity of gait would betray them. But, excepting tbe merest vestiges still to be met with in a few places, tuis art is all past and gone. In that eld sense, nobody walks nowadays. People only use their legs in a hurried, scrambling way to get from one in-door point to another as quickly as they can. Nothing is expected from them as to how they do it, beyond keeping partly out of the way of the other scramblers.

They trot, they run, they do everything but walk. If, for any extraordinary reason, they go slowly, then they crawl. It is as far as ever from worth looking at
