NO HOOPS AS YET.'.

BUT THE SUMMER MAY BRING THE STEEL BARS.

Gay In Stripe* and Figures Are the Spring Robes—Fancy Ribbons Enter Largely Into the Decorations of the I-atcat Models.

Gimps and Galons Are Variously Used.

The consensus of conservative opinion justifies the ordering of the spring gown without a hoop. What the summer vrill bring forth no seer dares foretell. The cholera and the crinoline are both imminent. and for the latter there ia no quarantine.

To be ultra fashionable is accounted inelegant, and the greatest hope for the truly artistic dress lies in the fact that what some one has pronounced the indecent haste of the dressmakers to establish the new mode may defeat their purpose. Meanwhile, thankful for the respite, we cut our

ble and not at all apparent when the skirt is hung. Perhaps the modemakers, finding more resistance to the hoop than they expected, are determined to coerce the fashionable woman into wearing the wire cage by burdening her with these heavy lined skirts, from which she may gladly turn to the lighter hoop. The skirts of some of the new gowns clear the ground by two inches, and all of them are devoid of any suspicion of a trail.

Fancy ribbons of most beautiful varieties enter largely into the decoration of the new gowns. Satin ribbons of all widths are used, and pretty effects are obtained by gathering the ribbons into narrow little ruches for the decoration of the skirt and the finish of the edges of all the waist decoration. And the Now York Sun says old fashionod milliners' folds and deftly turned pipings of satin or velvet, with gimps and galons, all are used in a variety of ways. One skirt has a succession of ribbon ruffles, satin gathered very scantily on the edgo. The lower row is perhaps three inches wide, tho four rows above it each less than an inch in width. Another fancy is to use succession of milliners' folds widely spaced, each fold about an inch wide, and between them a Bingle row of narrow gimp, with a gleam of gold in the edges.

Parisian gowns measure seven yards around. London dressmakers are more modest and give a 5-yard skirt tho pref-

WOOL AND SILK EFFECTS,

erenco, and some New York houses show skirts six yards in width. One of the new cheviots, embodying many bright tints subdued in thoir intermixture, has a full skirt standing out with the proud consciousness that it is the very latest shape. The sleeves nro unusually full, widening from midway between the elbow and the wrist, and a drapery on the bodice crosses over the bust and fastens on one shoulder. showing a folded belt of dark green satin about the waist.

Another new and simple gown is of tho silk and wool material which forms such a large contingent of spring importations. Tho skirt has a,narrow finish at tho bottom of velvet, set on like a puff, with a band of gralon above it. The waist, which is very full and drawn in wrinkles over tho figure, with uo seams, is of glossy conled silk in color ma telling the silk figures shofen in the goods. Over this bodice is a little coat with plaited rovers falling in flounce over the sleeve and finished in the back inucii like the front, the revere falling in plaits to a point at the belt. The sleeves have very fall puffs gathered above the elbow to close fitting nndersleeves. following the outline of the arm to the waist. The puffs are lined with stiff silk to give them tho desired prominence.

AN AFTERNOON GOWN.

A Black Satin Gown Lined With Crinoline.

Here is a French gown for afternoon wear which is at once unique and stylish. The gored skirt is of black satin, lined from the hem to the knee with crinoline.

It is trimmed with creamy Venetian lace in bands which extend from the waist to the bottom of the skirt. A few inches from the hem the lace is trimmed with fine jet fringe.

WITH THE CRINOLINE.

The bodice tucks in beneath a black satin belt. It is a charmingly delicate affair. There is a full vest of pale green chiffon outlined with black velvet bands. Beyond the velvet are graduated revers of the Venetian lace which form frills over the shoulders.

The sleeves are a novelty. They are fashioned of black chiffon over pale green Bilk and arranged in three huge puffs which tumble over one another artistically. From the elbow to the wrist is a tight fitting cuff of black satin. The green yoke is an adjustable affair, so that other shades of chiffon or silk may take its place.

Ladies who are always on the lookout for the "fashions of tomorrow" are exchanging the plain fourreau skirt for the full .balloon dress of the time of Louis Philippe but those who are less attracted by such sudden changes adopt a medium course and content themselves with giving a little more fullness at the back to the gored skirt some even introduce a few plaits over the hips.

Trimmings are of two styles, either forming a striking contrast or a perfect match to the material of the dress. Thus a dress of havanna cloth is trimmed with green velvet round the skirt, while the short jacket, sleeves rad belt are of the same velvet. Another of the same tint is trimmed with braiding and silk embroidery of graduated shades of the same color. As a rule, trimmings are put on in plain bands and borders but, on tho other hand, narrow flutings and ruches are very fashionable. Tl^p gre put on round the extreme jackets and bodices.

Grenadines and

Black grenadines and gaui flowers of red, yellow or pink, or1 trailing green vines embroidered over them, are becoming popular. They are made up over black silk. A remarkably effective dinner dress was of black gauze striped with a delicate pattern of green leaves and made over soft black silk. The full, puffed sleeves were unlined, and the silk was cut away from under tho gauze at the neck also, giving a sort of veiled decolette effect that was very charming.

Don't Crumple the Veils.

Fow women correctly arrange their veils on removing them. A veil should never be folded or thrown aside in a heap, but should be rolled lengthwise, gently pulling it into shape as it is rolled.

No More Wrinkles.

We do not need to wrinkle our foreheads when reading aloud in public or private, or to screw our faces into crooked bowknots to gaze at something passing on the street. If you think you do not need to bo reminded of this bad habit, read for five minutes some exciting or tragic poem before the glass and watch your own face. My countenance from years of scowling and wrinkling resembles (whon I place a handglass on a table and look down upon the lines and furrows) a railroad junction with many intersecting paths or the diagrams crisscrossing a pattern sheet. I was amazed and could have cried when I first realized this, I found that even when arranging my back hair, or brushing my teeth, or fastening a dress, or buttoning a boot, I made all sorts of unnecessary grimaces, and threading a needle, if a little troublesome, produced queer contortions.

one Defect.

Dr. W. G. Anderson of Yale university gymnasium is an enthusiast on the physical training of boys by gymnastic exercise and has given considerable attention to the various methods employed. The accompanying illustration is taken from an arti cle written by Dr. Anderson, and together with the comments thereon will prove interesting to boy readers and will serve as well to warn them against a very bad habit.

This lad's side view is quite satisfactory. The chest is full and prominent, and the body erect. He is the "champion" all round gymnast of his class and has the following first records: Broad jumping, pole climb ing (l(i-foot ceiling, 10 seconds), rope climbing (same height,"

The measurements of this boy are: Height. 55K inches chest, 25,2!», 31 inches expanse. 6 inches. This is wonderful, but the little chap has caught the "knack" of it. He can throw the chest way in, and one would think he was dying of consumption when he ex hales. His right forearm is 8% inches right upper arm, 10%" inches waist, 26 inch es right calf, 12J^ inches right thigh, inches. The left arm is a little smaller than the right. He is 13 years. This lad belong to one of the best boys' schools in New York city. They have regular class work in the gymnasium. The records spoken of are such a.s can be safely made without bad re suits or interference with lessons.

Sacred Fruit.

One of the most curious species of known fruit is the "holy or sacred citron'' of the Jews. Its virtues are lauded to the skies, and it is celebrated in legend, romance, poetry and song, and yet it appears that it is never eaten. It is known in most all oriental countries, but appears to be most highly esteemed by the Moorish Jews of Tunis and Morocco. On the streets of the last named city it is sold at about 8 cents per fruit. These fruits are generally purchased by bands of roving pilgrims, the members of religious processions and Jewish priests.

When one of these sacred citrons falls into the hands of a priest, he takes it to the synagogue, where it is kept to be used in some emblematic rite during the time of the great feast of the tabernacles. Not only in oriental countries are these holy fruits known and esteemed, but in Germany, Russia, France, Spain and in England. They are probably used in American Jewish synagogues to some extent, but such use would be necessarily limited. In England, so I am informed, good specimens of holy citrons bring as much as 50 shillings each, there being whole companies which make their importation a "side line."

The use of this unique fruit is supposed to be derived from the injunction contained in the fcwenty-tliird chaptor of the book of Leviticus.—Exchange.

Berry Wall In Wall Street.

Not much has. been heard of Berry Wall of late, but he is very much in evidence in Wall street, where his talents, which are of no mean order, are being guided in one of the largest brokerage houses. He still displays his old charm of dress, although his waistcoats are not so stunning as they used to be, and he only changes his clothes once a day now.

He is really very well informed in industrial securities, and one morning lately he sent a group of brokers into convulsions of laughter when he was appealed to by an operator to go into a little speculation in one of those stocks. Berry Wall straightened ufj, looked sternly at the man who dared make this proposit^m and then said, "I have been sweetened with Sugar, I have been stupefied with Gas, a few weeks ago I was strangled with Cordage, and I have been paralyzed with Whisky, and if you suppose there is anything left of me for tker experience of this sort you knov better than I cfo myself."

And there was quite as much of as there was of sarcastic humor in t» jjjlfi an he ha been peculiarly that of Berry Wall. Some of the brokers think that the time is coming when the famous deposed king of the dudes will cause quite as much comment upon the street as he did in the old day3 upon the avenue.—Cor.

Death of a Noted Bohemian Oats Man.

Jay M. Orcutt. the widely known Michigan Bohemian oats schemer, is dead. Orcutt operated in the country from 1888 to 1885. The scheme was to sell 50 bushels of seed oats to 15 farmers in each township at $10 a bushel, taking one year 7 per cent notes in payment, the sellers bonding themselves to sell double that quantity from their crops at the Bame figures, keeping 25 per cent. It is estimated that the Bohemian oat scheme netted $100,000 profit, Orcutt's share being about $25,000. He was extravagant and spent his money as fast aa received. —Chicago Inter Ocean.

AFTER SIXTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING.

CHICAGO,

The Viavi. Company: Itj gives me pleasure to add my testimony in favor or your medicine. Sixteen years ago this month, at the birih of my only child, I was so terribly injured that I had not seen a well hour since until after using your remedy, which I

commenced to use a little more than a year ago. I did not expect to be cured short of a year and a half, but am happy to say that I found myself well at the end of nine months. For ten years I treated with the best physicians, but they did me no good and could only advise me at the end to take good care of myself. My husband spent a small fortune trying to find relief for me, but in vain. The doctors called my trouble prolapsus, but I am sure it was a great deal more, as I was often confined to my bed for days -, at a time, unable to eat. I suffered terribly with my head and came near losing my sight. To all suffering as I suffered I will say that if you- will use Viavi faithfully and persistently it will do its work.
