It Is a curious and pretty reversion

that assails tho woman of to-day, says
tho rhiladelphio Times. Not only do
we find knitting usurping a place long
occupied by lace and embroidery, but
what generally goes nnder the name
of plain needlework is now taking its
place alongside the dnearts. Machine
sewing is no longer to bo thought of
:n connection with liuerie. Indeed,
it is quite impossible tor the silk garment-

SCSOniTA AND HER MANTILLA.
It is a source of the greatest regret
ou the part of everyone who visits
Mexico that the euuorita has so gen
erally laid aside her graceful lace man
tilla, and adopted Paris millinery in
its stead. Tne charm of a Spanish
face has 60 long been enhanced by the
mantilla, ond lacs is such a fascinating
feature of Spauihh art, that it ia with
sinoere disappintmtnt travelers note
the black-eyed and oiive-skinued ladies
of the Republic talking abroad in
hats of the same style tht are wcru
in New York. It matters not how
richly trimmed they may be, these
fashionable modern hats seem out of
i place in Old Mexico. Half tho charm
of the country lies in its antiquity, its
quaint and individual customs; and
; when a custom is so universally bo
1 fsmmg as is the mantilla to the Mexi
can senorita'a face, it seems a real m:a
! fortune to give it up.
: With the interchange of commodi
ties between the two republics of
course will come a greater or lcs in
terchange of customs, but we fear the
women oi tho (States can never learn
to adjust the mantilla with the native
grace of the Mexican born woman
The peon woman still clings to her
rebozo, but the Mexican lady has dis
carded bcr Spanish lacp mantilla we
fear forever, and they are oein sold
on the streets and in the shops by the
dealers in curios. Almost every lady
from the States brings ono home with
her, bat there is no Typo in the North j
that can wear the mantilla as if to the I
manner born. Many of the old ways
may still be foon in Mexico. Every
evening on the Faseo Mexican gentle
men are seen in the picturesque Na
tional costume, but the lace mantilla
on the dark eyed beanty will bo
looked for in vaiu. Modern Mexioo.

Black aud whito is still a favorite
combination, and is generally becoui'
iug.
Duo skirt with three or four fauoy
silk waists will answer for n wbolo sea
son. Some of the latest styles in skirts
show trimming in Vandykes of three
different widths.
The pretty girlish sashes are again
in full favor with all bodices that ter
minate at the waist.
Sleeves are undoubtedly smaller,
and even the larger ones show a leucth
of tightly fitting arm.
(irenadiucs are aain coming into
use, and when made up over ilk nnd
trimmed with lace they make lo?cly
costumes.
Maltese lace has returned, both for
dress and parasols, and a combination
of this lace in a yellow tone with chif
fon is very pretty.
Printed or stamped velvets are very
much iu vogue, and are ea'uly utilized
iu the ornameutation ol buttons of old
btyle, with paste or tttcol.
The new season promises to be nota
ble for the variety of silk, though,
curiously enough, surah and Indiau
silks nre in little demand.
Thin gowns of muslin or lawn should
be made with a separate foundation,
which will make them hang much
lighter and look more filmy.
Shepherd plaid is very much in
voeue, and with it comes the quaint
old-fashioned trimming of the ekirts,
wit i rows and rows of the pencil vel
vet. There ie but little chtnge in the
-ty Ie of waists, a great deal of lace em
broidery, ruching, side plaiting and
ribbon being employed in the make
up and trimming.
lhe trimming that is being placed
n the bottom of the skirts would in
dicate that tkirta soon will be less full,
as ii, would be impossible to place frills
and puffs aioun l a very full, gored
ekirt.
An excellent method for renovating
and making the party gown do double
duty is to veil jit sliahtiy with grena
dine of the same shade or black, with
tho bodioe finished with a little basque
of satin ribbon.

and aosordion plaiting of silk or lisse
look graceful peeping from uuder the

with a round, very full puff just ut tho

economical skirt is of either checkered !

One often hesitates over a new gown
which most be worn aa what is known
as "a black suit," while considering
its possibilities of wear. A broken
plaid is excellent for not showing soil,
and cheviot wears like iron, as doea a
dark gray flannel of good quality. The

"TELLTALES."
Bird and Animal Which Hake
Hunter Angry.
There are o number of birds and ani
mals that make hunters of both lai'-'o
and small trame anifry sometimes, e.'iys
the New York Sun. They are grouped
tinder the name, of telltales. These tell
tales are usually small, but Irritating.
When a telltale Is particularly exas
perating Is toward the close of a l'mg
day when the deer hunter has met with
no success, when the deer hare tied
from his quickest footsteps, nnd bis
keenest glances hire been In vain.
Then the hunter sees a head of game
away across a valley 800 or 400 yards
away-reeaing unsuspiciously aioug
beaded up directly for n knoll easily
reached by the hunter. Just IIS the
hunter thinks the deer is his. .lust ns
Us hoofs break n twig n hundred tards
away behind a clump of brush, one of
tree near by. The result is the same.
The equlrrej begin to chlcker and to
cold In a way that seta the other squlr
rele to chlckerlng too. and that make
th(l lttlo b)r(is peep nhmiilngly. If It Is
a blue Jny It gives n ycU thnt makes Ite
companions yell in cho-ms. nnd gather
round aa If to hold some sort of trial on
the still hunter, flit? rnven aires a
weird croak of alarm aud a way it goea.
Tht deer hears the nefce nnd does not
wait to se? what Is the matter, but
takes to his heels nnd goos with n bnmp-ety-bump-bump

the most experienced 1iudii draw
down his rifle and shcot at the tell
taloe. Hut the Informers are not often
Injured even when the angry hnntor
shoots.
The most notorious of slf-appotntecl
guards Is tin blue heron, which Is value
less in any other capacity ttinn as 1 1
gBine protector. Thli bird Is the foe. of
the still hunter of ducks In th salt
marshes. It stands, n far-feeing, keen
