New braiding and embroidery done in llm damier . pattern of blocks for trimming muslin dresses. Black breaded grenadine with large vel- vet flowers makes graceful basque and drap- ' plain grenadine skirts that have lace lloances. Silk gloves in the popular Jersey shape will be worn during the summer, and are embroidered along the back of the hand and across the arms. . Watered silks and saitins are employed for combining with other materials, such as camel's hair and brocades, but are not used for the entire dress. Tall and slender women still wear the English plaitcd jackets with a wide waist- band of the material ending in two long loops that fall over the puffed bac ' drapery. Kata (ireenaway handkerchiofs of white silk, with iyly colored figures of old-fash' ioncd chil rcn on the hem, are knotted as cravats for little boys to wear with their kilt suits. Damier pitterus like the blocks on a checker-board arc the fashionable caprice for kill; skirts and overdresscs, whether of wool or of gingham, to be worn with a basque of the plain color. Corded hats in basin and poke-shape are made of white linen and of colored ing- ham to match the summer dresses of ittle girls. A box-plaitiag of lawn and lace is placed around the crown for trimming. Basques are made rather short, disclosing the hips, and tablicrs are no longer strains and drawn back tightly, but are put on with considerable fullness, giving an easy appearance to the folds and drap- ones. I’ale yellow and bright gold are the colors triumphant even in floral garniture. The gaudy sunflowerhas sunk into oblivion, but is replaced by primroscs, cowslips, mari- golds, narcissus, marshmallows, and king- uups.

A party dinner dress is mado of apple- grmn satin, with lace flounccs. Dark-groan volvct is arranged in a panel on one side. The pouf has a lace baud running through the folds, and upstanding laco ruchn at tho back of the throat and lace sleeves. A very new style of mantle, something be tween the jacket andthc visits, is of sea- wccd adored cloth. The slccvcs, similar to that of 3. visits, commences at the neck. The back and fronts are tightwfitting. The back is finished as a postilion basque. All round there is a lace border which forms a mills in fr- at. The sleeves are very richly ornamented with a’ assemonterio trimming of gold and colores beads, which also go round the neck. â€"â€"...___eo «Our oo-â€"_â€"â€" A Lip-Reading Witness.

The immediate result of poorhilty’s ob- stinacy was a feverish cold, which confined her to her own room for several days. She struggled against it fiercely, remembering how soon Mr. Woodstock’s visit was to end; but she was obliged to yield, and to lie rest- less and unhappy, with only her vain regrets and ycarnings for companions.

The spell was only broken when the young man began to explain to her that it was his last day, and that all his preparations were made for his departure. Every tinge of color faded from Kitty’s poor little face. But she tried bravely to control her trembl- ing lips and her voice. “You have resolved to go then 2" she said, trying to smile. “Quite. There is only one this which could change my plans, and that, I elicve, is unlikely to occur.

"Who are are the wohncn you know best?" asked Kitti quickly, a deeper red burning in her chce s as she raised herself on one elbow and fastened her dark eyes on the young man’s face. Stephen smiled at the eager simplicity of the question. “I meant my‘partner’s wife.

The belief is maintained b many observ- ers that almost all, if not a l, diseases, ex- cepting those of a traumatic character or arising from violence, are caused either by want of some one or more of the normal essential ingredients or nutrient elements of the blood, or the presence in the circulating fluids of s'mie substance or substances of an alumnus] or extraneous character.
