DRESS AND FASHION.

THE PREVAILING STYLES IN GOWNS, BONNETS AND HATS.

Kerr Silk and Wool Fabrics In fieautiful Tints—Advice About Selecting Color*. Inexpensive livcr.inj* Gowns For Young I

Oirls.— Hints Tn Millinery.

Mi:v. h:iv- there been found so many bt/ruifu! lists in silken and "woolen' go rU :i at t!i! present moment. Ladies eh- ".ild, however, bo very careful in the selection of colors, as far as their dresses, bonnets and hat ire concerned, for the influence thereof on their looks is great. It is a mistake to believe that yellow doea not suit blonds. On the contrary, a pale straw, lemon or primrose adds greatly to the loveliness of a fair complexion and amber hair. Yellow in its darker shades is the most becoming hue to brunettes, but they should severely exclude blue from their wearing apparel, for, whereas a blond may look exquisitely pretty in any shade of yellow, a brunette always looks her worst in either pale or dark blue.

Greens of I descriptions are very much the rage just now. Nothing could be more charming both for blonds and brunettes than the varied tints of this rich color. It is, moreover, very distinguished, and a combination of pale and aark green is always attractive. The most fashionable greens are just now Bile green, fresh almond green, seaweed green, reseda green, frog green, olive

green, myrtle gTeen, steel green, spring grcon, lettuce green, verdigris, lovebird green, etc. Dark greens are much used for outdoor garments.

Cheap evening dresses should be very earnestly considered, for every girl, no matter how small her income, should make a point of dressing herself with a certain degree of smartness and should avoid the black dress to which those of mature years cling with such pertinacity as to breed monotony. Pale pink, blue, daffodil yellow, sea green, are shades which should accompany youth and beauty, or the ono without the other, and, as a full bodice lends itself amiably to the handiwork of the maid or suburban dressmakor, economy need not stand in the way of pretty evening frocks of crepon or of soft silk. Crepon is perhaps' the more successful investment of the two, unless you are prepared to Bpeud a fair amount of money in a soft sillc of a good quality.

A pretty gown is of white wool fabric, the dkirt trimmed at the foot with a thick ruche of white silk muslin. The corsago is of gathered silk muslin over silk, the yoke being embroidered with pearls and trimmed with a pearl fringe. The belt, with its long loops and bows, and the knots on the corsage are of black moire. Another pretty gown gives an illustration of the new double skirt. A

BECOMING TXX^UK. SMALL BONNET, third frock, with its full, round bodice and its simple, single skirt, adds yet another style from which young folk may select and still be in the fashion.

Bonnets have not gone out of favor, though most women have taken on occasions to wear hats. Royalty, even its youngest members, has shown a predilection for wearing bonnets, and probably it is the preference shown by the Princess of Wales for small bonnets that has brought them so much into favor. A toque just fitting tho shape of the head in most becoming fashion may be •lade in velvet, with feathers or other •tyle of garniture. The boat shape has ootne back to favor and has been adapted te the mode of the moment, for the orown is quite low and flat, but it turns mp becomingly at the side and is geuer•Uy made in felt, with bows of velvet.

Snd

uills and feathers. Ladies who do not tho large hats becoming adopt small bonnets, with strings that tie under the Cfeln.

•«l«ctinR a Masio Tcacher.

Pupils who take lessons of an incompetent teacher for several years and afterward study with a thorough teacher always find that they are obliged to go back to the beginning. The instruction (t) they hare received has too often been worse than no instruction at all. and titno and money have been wasted. All thlw might have been avoided if the pupil had been more careful in selecting a thorough teacher at the beginning.

Pupils who have been taking lessons for a year or two and do cot know the difference between the legato and staccato touch and play pieces and do not know what key they are writteu in should know that there is something wrong and should find out as soon as possible whether the fault is theirs or their teacher's. If it is the former, they had better begin to use their brains as well as their fingers In practicing, but if it is the latter they had better ohange teacher*, says The Etude.

FOR SLIPPERS AND HTSE.

A Tuckavray For Shoes That Wander and For Neatly Darned Stocking.

Is it not rather odd that we women are content to journey through life "putting up," as we express it, with nameless inconveniences that a little time and energy would so quickly ban-

SHOE ANT) STOCKING BAG.

ish? asks a correspondent in Golden Days. Take, for instance, the shoebag. It is written about and talked about. Nothing could be more easily or economically constructed, and yet not one household in a hundred offers it a corner. If by some lucky chance it finds its way into the hands that are obliged to perform unnumbered »tasks, it is ever after regarded as a sort of household treasure.

Slippers that wander, shoes to be housed against hard knocks and rubbers put aside fpr a rainy day may each have their own particular nook, and a compartment still be left for the neatly darned socks or stockings.

Chintz or cretonne, bearing a bright floral pattern, makes up well as a shoe and stocking bag. To render it pretty use tinted sateen for lining the inside as well as the two outer pockets, formed by joining to the bottom of the bag a strip of the goods, which, when stitched down the center, becomes divided into two compartments. One of these can be used as a tuckaway for hosiery, and the other, provided only one is employed for stockings, may be reserved for especially nice footwear.

About the top of the bag are two rows ef eyelets, through which narrow tape is run, the loops of which serve to hang up the slipper and hose receptacle.

Difficult Music.

Passages occur frequently that have an obscure content. If the piece is by a good composer, there is nothing in the

?ore

»iece that is not worth playing, therethe lack of clearness in musical effect must bo the fault of the player rather than that of the composer. The Etude says: A little well directed effort will clear up the content and enable the pupil to play the passages effectively. First, without trying to make it expressive, play very slowly but perfectly correct, observing every detail of the notation accurately, giving each note its own true time value and playing the given fingering as uniformly as you do the written notes. "When it is no longer technically difficult, bring out in an overmarked manner the accents as called for by the time signature, then heavily accent, as called for by the slurs, beginnings of motives and phrases, and especially make extra loud the longest notes of the passage, for emphasis is often in proportion to the copiparative length of the notes. Meantime listen to the effect of your accents. With all of this the kind of touch best fitted to the sentiment of the phrase should be used. At the first attempts with expression overdo all of these so as to make as marked as possible whatever content the passage may contain. Further practice will allow the pupil to finish and modify the expression and perfect the phrases and make them fully effective.

Cliiokcu Baked With Rice.

A chicken of uncertain age that has been simmered until tender may be jointed, seasoning each joint with pepper, salt and a suspicion of mace lay some slices of bacon in the bottom of a dish place the chicken on top strew over a minced onion pour a cup of the stock in which it was boiled over all fill in the dish with boiled rice put on a tin or china cover and bake one hour.

Fashion Notes.

If so desired, a sachet scented with the owner's favorite perfume may be placed in the handkerchief box or case, but the custom is not so much favored as formerly, perfume being objectionable to many people, especially in a warm, close atmosphere.

Now we are witnessing quite a revival in steel ornaments for bonnets. The combination of black velvet and steel is decidedly pleasing.

Loops of pearls kept in festoons by bars of diamonds are the newest necklaces for young matrons and are quite as fashionable as diamonds.

Quite a fetching frock for a little maiden is made of pale blue silk, with a full skirt and full little waist gathered in the middle of the front and of the back.

The style most adopted by gentlemen is the silk or fine white linen initial handkerchief, which varies in price according to the texture.

Almost every woman has diamonds, so it is beginniug to be thought more fashionable to let other stones be intermixed or to wear some particular gem which accords with the color of the gown. Indeed many dresses are built up to match some antique jewelry or some jewel of distinct coloring—pink topazes, emeraids, sapphires, etc.

Mufflers for both sexes and all ages I are plentifully provided, most ladies pre(erring white, but colors are permis&ible. The size varies, being as large as or larger than the ordinary gentleman's handkerchief, and the material is plain, twilled or brocaded silk.

In public life for nearly half a century, he is a representative citizen, one of the most popular and best known men in the United States. "He was elected a Senator and was eight times returned to the House of Representatives. It shows in what high estimation he is held by the people that he was five different years elected speaker of the House of Representatives. Gov. Long made him a Justice, knowing that he is of unquestioned integrity, superior ability and great conscientiousness. A man of majestic brain, he is a great statesman and has few equals as an orator. He was at one time a candidate for Lieut. Governor and he nominated Alger for President, in the National Convention."

DYNAMITE IN THE DISH.

The Tragic Dinner Prepared by a Demented Russian Officer.

A shocking tragedy of a most remarkable character is reported from Vilna. Ivan Klakwitz, a customs officer of highly respectable connection, became convinced that his wife was in league with a neighbor to aid the latter in a lawsuit which was pending against him. There was apparently no justification for the charge. The lawsuit was tried In the local courts last week, and Klakwita lost the case. He addressed the judge in an excited manner, and after making a rambling statement implicating his wife in an intrigue against him he left the courtroom.

Later in the day, however, be professed regret to bis wife for his baseless insinuations and hasty temper, and asked his neighbor and bis wife to dine with him en famille. Thinking it better that a conciliation should take place, the neighbor accepted, and a social evening was arranged for. At dinner there were present Klakwitz, his wife, his two daughters, aged 19 and 17 years respectively a young son, aged 11 bis wife's mother and his neighbor and his wife.

The dinner passed off very pleasantly until the third course, when Klakwitz rose, and ordering some more champagne to be opened said that he wished all present to drink a toast to a special dish he had prepared as a surprise for this agreeable occasion. He then left the room, and within two minutes returned bearing in his arms a large dish

Hon. Ex Speaker Noyes is and always will be a boon to his fellow men, and in thus giving his advice to the suffering, and the weight of his high standing and eminent reputation to his indorsement of the wonderful curative virtues of the great medical discovery, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, he is proving himself a benefactor to those who are sick, weak, nervous and ailing. It is a far-t that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy cures. The siek netd it to make them well. Those who do rot call themselves exactly sick, but who are ailing, o«t of order and do not feel just, right, should take it, for it will put them in perfect health and strength.

covered with a dinner cover, and placing it quickly on the table he lifted his glass on high and shonted, "To our next meeting."

He had scarcely spoken these words when a dynamite bomb, which had been hidden under the cover, exploded, and instantly killed every one in the room with the exception of the servant girl and the youngest daughter—the latter living, however, only long enough to tell exactly what happened. The servant died within two hours.

The unfortunate people who were the victims of this insane frolic were simply blown to pieces, and the walls of the room in which they were sitting were partly blown out. The explosion was heard for half a mile.—St. Peters burg Cor. London Telegraph.

The Glutton Lakti.

Navigation of the great lakes during the season of 1898 resulted in the loes of 123 lives. The number of vessels lost was 53, with an aggregate tonnage of 24,258 and valued at $1,040,400. Partial losses by strandings, collisions I and fires bring the total up $2,112,588.

The shallow waters of Lake Erie claim«d nearly half the lives lost, Lake Hurem being second.—New York Tribune.

NEW WOOL FABRICS.

Onions, Challls, Bareges and Other Dress Goods For Spring and Summer.

A marked characteristic of the new dress goods is the tendency to crape effects, says the New York Tribune, which gives the following information about the summer wools: Not oniy is the dull, soft surface given in wools and silks, but also in many of the new cottons, and where the goods are not crimped or "ruffed" in this way over their entire surface there may be a stripe of thick or sheer material which is fulled in crape effect. The crepons, or woolen crapes, introduced two seasons ago, which found no special favor at that time, are being made up in new styles in conjunction with silk and lace for afternoon gowns. While these goods are more popular in lighter colors, they are also found in navy blue and some dark shades. The fabric, though introduced for general wear, is entirely unsuited for such purpose, owing to its liability to catch the dust.

The crepons, with heavy, eccentric wale, are not so desirable as those with a finer crinkle, some of which are similar in surface to a china crape. A great variety of surfaces are seen in the crapes which come in evening colors. Some which are brocaded with little overshot figures of silk have a deep crinkled surface, while others have the rough, raised surface of a seal leather. Still others are striped in bayadere by a group of heavier threads crossing the wale of the tissue at half inch intervals, and others are dotted with irregular raised knots.

Silk crepon is largely used for draperies in combination with satin and velvet. It is also used in large twists around the bottom of the skirt, and these twists and draperies are caught up by swallow winged knots of satin or velvet ribbon.

A wool goods with a satin surface, known as a satin cashmere, is being used to supply the demand for a softly draping wool for combination with silk. Meantime there is a demand for sheer, soft woolens of all kinds, and it is believed that the pretty challis, which have found scant favor during the last few years, will again be used. In a fine quality of pure wool they are very attractive. Nothing is more hateful, however, than the cotton challi, or the mixture of cotton and wool. A good challi of pure wool is seldom sold for less than 50 or GO cents a yard in 80 inch width and is one of the most satisfactory ofgowns.

The new French challis are found generally in conventional patterns, though some small flower designs remain. Chine effects, which promise to be a prominent feature of all figured goods, are shown in those light summer wools, and thero are many patterns where the chine effect crosses the goods in something of the style of a watered silk.

Cotton bareges, which are a duplicate of the fancy wool bareges, are found in a variety of delicate colors—striped and dashed with color in chine effect and having tiny dots or black or dark brown. Mastic or putty color is a shade which is commonly found now in cottons and other new goods of the season.

Art of tetter Writing:.

Object teaching is most effective in letter writing as in many other practical matters. Any bright young person who will examine carefully a considerable number of letters from persons of different ages, circumstances and occupations will get a good lesson in things to cultivate and things to avoid. A few obvious rules must also be considered in forming one's own habits, that enviable privilege of the young.

Good jet black ink and plain white paper are the best. A slight tint of cream or blue, if preferred, is in equally "good form," but showy paper of any kind is objectionable.

It is the rule to date a letter at the haginning at the right hand side, a note at the end on the left hand. Numbers, dates and proper names should be written with care, so as to be perfectly distinct.

Sign your full name in writing to a stranger if on your own business, inclose a stamp and write, "Please address Mr?. M. Smith," or "Miss M. Smith," where your correspondent has no other means of information.

Answer all letters promptly. This habit may save you immense losses. All these hints from Country Gentleman apply to what may be called the mechanism of letter writing, but the mere forms demand a certain amount of attention, as the world has agreed to notice trifles In these matters.

SaTed by an Ironing Board.

Smoke from the hallway of 216 East Eighty-ninth street at 4 a. m. yesterday woke Feligo Carnego, who lives with his family on the ground floor. The flames prevented egress by the door. Carnego rose to the occasion and passed bis wife's ironing board from the window across the area to the iron railing. Over this improvised bridge his own and several other families reached the sidewalk in safety. Others escaped by the roof.—New York World.

Tennyson on Spring.

We have the word of Alfred Tennyson for it that fn the spring the young man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. It is singular that the great laureate omitted to mention the fact that it is in the spring that a considerable portion of the human race tnrn to taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. Probably nothing but the difficulty of finding a good rhyme for that invaluable remedy deterred him. Oriain it is that the old lime domestic remedies are generally discarded in favor of the standard blood purifier. Hood's Sareaparilla. which has attained the greatest popularity all over the countrv aa the favorite Spring Medicine. "it purifies the blood and gives nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength.

WOMAN'S TRIALS.

SOME LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.

So Many Suffer Without Knowing Why. Mack Can Be AToided.

[SrtClAI. TO OCR LADY KSADKR8.] So many feel the very life crushed out of them, wake up cheerful and happy, determined to do so much before the day ends, and yet:

Before the morning is very old, the fearful backache or bearing-down- feeling attacks them, the bravespirit sinks back in affright no matter how hard they struggle, the "clutch" is upon them, and they sink, into a chair, crying,

Oh! why should I suffer so What can 1 do

The answer is ready, your cry has

been heard, and a woman is able to restore you to health and happiness. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will stop your torture and restore your courage. All your pains come from a deranged uterus or womb.

It is the greatest of all rewards to receive such letters as the following from Miss Louise Midler, who lives at 44 Michigan Ave., in Evanston, 111. She says:

As 1 have used Lydia E. Finkhani's Vegetable Compound,and have thereby become entirely well, I am recommending all my lady friends to use it. I am sure itwill help them in all cases of womb trouble, lcucorrhcea, irregular or painful monthly periods:" I am sure it is our best friend. I am so thankful to Mrs. Pinkham for tho good she has done me, that I wish every sick woman in America would write toller at Lynn, Mass., and get her advice."
