"New Hklrts Trimmings Braiding In
Great Favor Millinery.
The never-to-be-settled question
of skirts cornea np each season, and
while the plaited skirt still holds
good, all the imported costumes
have gored or circular skirts. This
'is more in accordance with the ideas
of the fashionable dressmaker, as
manufacturers turned out the plait
ed skirt "by the thousand, and with
a shirt waist, the ordinary mortal
was almost independent of dress
makers. The skirts of dresses from
across the water are longer, but the
American womeu having experienced
the comfort and convenience of
-short skirts, may not welcome this
innovation.
Braid and braiding are equally
-stylish, and appropriate to almost
any and all garments. Many skirts
.are entirely without ornamentation,
to broadcloth, is of striped silk in
two colors, put on as lengthwise
straps, and a out away jacket of
similar silk, is trimmed with but
tons combining the two colors.
THE NEWEST SKIRT.
This emwate3 from the artistic
hand-of Paquin, but is ungraceful
and altogether lacking in symmetry
of outline, of the front breadth is
drawn up at the sides, and lies in
wrinkles and crinkles while the back
is quite ordinary. Novelties of.anv
kind especially linings command
much interest at ahe opening of
each season,' and dressmakers are
jubilant that in the advent of
"Feathersilk taffeta," they have at
last found a materia? especially ad
apted to light-weight petticoats, at
the same time strong enough foi

THEY GAVE THE BALLS.
And tha Paopla Danced to Pay tha
Dabta of Louis XIV.
In 1712 Louis XIV. favored the
opera, then established In the first
snlle of the Talais Royal (there have
been two), with a special mansion for
the better accommodation of Its ad
ministration, archives and rehearsals.
This hotel Is situated in the Rue
Nlcalse. The building was generally
designated under the name of Maga
sin, hence the term Fllles du Maga
sin (not de uingasln), which was applied
not only to the female choristers and
supers, but to the female dancers them
selves. It so happened thnt the king
forgot to pay his archliwts and work
men. In order to s.isfy them the
Chevalier de Rouillon conceived the
Idea of giving balls In the opera
bouse, for which idea he received an
nunuul pension of 0,01)0 francs. He
wns pnid, but the king's debtors were
not, for, although the letters patent
were granted xomewhere about the
beginning of 1713, not a single ball
had beeu given when the mont mag
nlDcent of the Rourlion sovereigns de
scended 1j bis grave.
One d;;y shortly after his death
i'Argenson, the then lieutenant of
police, was talking to Louis' nephew.
Vhilippe d'Orleans, the regent. "Mon-
signore," he said, "there are people who
go about yelling that his majesty of i
blosed memory was a bankrupt and
a thief. 11 1 have them arrested and

what you are talking obout," was the
answer. "Those people must be paid,
and" then they'll cease to bellow."
"But how, mouslguore?" "Let's give
the balls that were projected by Bouil
lon." So said, so done, and the people
danced to pay Louis XIV.'s debts, as,
according to Shadwell, people drank
to fill Charles II.'s coffers:

A SERIOUS LAUGH.

l'The Penalty of Mirth at a
Church Celebration.
There was a church celebration of a
rather exclliug nature many years ago
In Lynn, Mass. The occurrences mark
ing the dedication of the Okl .Tunnel
Meeting house In KS2 are recorded . chr s is vo. ifvrmiKlv demanding the
putiunnieiii or ine capital graicers.
The country at lare was fehocktd

I On all hands mtld surprise has
been exniessed that this giga- tic

so loiifv Only those are surprised
who aie tintrttiiiliar with the effici
ency of the gang of icpublicun "ma

eood s tite in their unholy grip for
8 long.
It is highly significant that the
revelation was uia'e by a democrat.
Probably the ciooks would have
covered their tracks entirely had it
not been for one honest man the
democtatic s ate treasurer.

how it leaked out, the Philadelphia

or fancy braid may be nsed to a
moderate extent. Lace fronts or
jokes and lace sleeves seem to have
settled down for a permanency .equal
to that of the shirtwaist.
THE SURPLICE FRONT. -
While this attractive style is
prominent on domestic and impart
ed costumes, a .band of handsome
.trimming placed across the front,
gives the square neck effect, which
as the latent Parisian touch. With
eme black broadcloth costumes, the
arplice idea is attained by three or
for broadcloth folds lapping at the
front, and a Persian band across the
white lace yoke, and sometimes car
ried op the sides, is very effective.
A new idea from, abroad is a dark,
hued broddoth skirt, and a black
jacket braided in the same color as
the skirt. Another Parisian design
for a skirt trimming, as appropriate
dye. As every fi a'lionable shade is
represented, any color is steadily
matched.
MILLINERY.
The mushroom hat is evidently
on the decline, and its place is being
taken by a larger flat-brimmed
shapo with a rather high crown.
Ostrich plumes are the most elegant
garniture, but the price of hand
some feathers is now prohibitive,
eieept to persons of considerable
means, tsanks of roses are an ef
fect! re trimming, and lately, fring
ed taffeta eilk in two colors has been
introduced, and the soft, silken
threads fluaUnff together, with two
or three large roses at the front is
peculiarly attractive. The ultra
fashionable hat is sometimes eigh
teen to twenty inches across, these
however are only suitable for car
ridge wear.

The hospitable home of Mrs. E.

Sunday of an incident which took
somewhat of the character of a
family reunion. All of her child

first time in many years present at
dinner. Her eldest son, Mr. J. C.

A Felicitout Atlda.
A senator, describing a campaign
wherein be bad outgeneraled a rival,
said:
"When it became plain that victory
was miue, when my opponent's face
begun to grow darker and more for
bidding, I smiled to myself. I could
have muttered to myself some such
felhltons aside as that which came
from the small boy who was being
spunked. In the course of his spank
ing the boy's mother paused to say In
Sincere tones:
"'Tommy, this hurts, me far more
than it does you.'
"And thereupon In his odd, face
downward position the boy winked
and muttered to himself:
" 'I was afraid that bard board I put
in the seat of my trousers might in
jure her delicate band.' "

Once while in a -foreign port Admiral
Dewey ordered the heaviest hoisting
tackle in the ship to be got out of the
hold without delay. Nobody 'knew
what it was for, as there was nothing
Just at that time, either heavy or
light, to be taken on board' or sent
ashore. After two-hours' hard work
the tackle was In place, and Dewey
then ordered that a large chew of
tobacco which had been thrown under
one of the guns be hoisted overboard
and dumped into the sea.
