Bismarck Dak. Tribune. - - Three Philadelphia belles attracted considerable attention on last eve ning's eastbound passenger- train. They had been to California, had vis ited? the National Park, and were en route home. While in the park the young ladies manufactured dresses of leaves and mosses which they "gathered from the glens and brooks along the route. ' The dresses were most artistically made,1 and were as beautiful as novel. The plan of con struction was the same as that used in the construction of paper dresses. The groundwork,' or foundation, was cloth, and the leaves and mosses were artistically sewed upon the same. The leaves were the- inost beautiful ornaments, every tint of the autumn forests being represented. Tho dresses were made under an agree ment between the young ladies that the novel costume should bo worn at the first ball given at their home in the Keystone State. But the dresses were too beautiful to xemain in their trunks.. ? The temptation to. appear in them and; creata sensa tion was too great to be resisted and yesterday morning 1 they donned them and took , particular pains to appear on the platform at every sta tion in order that their genius and art might be appreciated.
