Mna. Hahiuhon says: "Mrs. Cleveland is
positively tho loveliest creature I over haw.
I almost feol guilty in dopriving her of it post
tion that alio adorns so well," Hut tho general
Is not sentimental, and be Is understood to
Imvo felt no such week compunctions.
Anu now poor Mrs. Den. Harrison Is being
pictured In the press in a most horrible man
ner. Wo note a picture of her In a New York
paper and then another in n Chicago dally
and to comparo tho two, not tho faintest re
semblance Is to bo discerned. Yea, verily,
what torturo tho first lady of the land is sub
jected to.
Ir apiHYirauccs nre any indication, we
should judge that our friends of tho Fort
Scott Sunday Cinro meeting with success
In their now Journalistic enterprise, Tho
ja)cr is very attractive, tjio mnttor shows
careful prowmtlou, and patronngo bestowed
seems to bo littoral. Fort Scott Is ft live town

Omaha Mercury is meeting with givatcr suo

besides nil these thero nro twenty-four
different kinds nnd stylos of laco for
making dresses not trimming, but mak
ing utid it is no wonder that fashion
writers dlo young or sit In nn old fash
ioned dress nnd sigh for lifo In n South
sen island, whero a palm leaf nnd string
of red worsted nround tho left nnklo
forms n rcgnl toilet.
Laco is now being displayed In quanti
ties astonishing for summer toilets, and
it is ltclng bought now to bo mado dur
ing Lent. Tho black will lmvo ribbon
gurnlturo of tho rich pumpkin yellow,
which Is really a beautiful color. Thoro
Is mora imitation Chnntilly sold than nny
other kind. It comes forty inches wido
and Is very strong and novor looks
stringy. Noxt to that is tho Spanish
guipuro lace, then tho D'Aurillao floun
cing, forty Inches wldo, which is suffi
ciently dcop for tho skirt of u dress. Tho
hand run Spanish laco is very rich also,
but not bo light and delicato nor so dura
bio as tho silk chnntilly. Thero aro
cream colored laces, tho Fcdorn, Chan
tllly, cream Spanish guipure, Oriental
lace, Valenciennes nnd Duchess, nnd be
sides them aro tho point d'Esprlt not,
Chanttlly figured draping net, Hercules

kinds of laces, and besides thoso nro also
many novelties in Gennvn point, Vene

Chantilly laces, which nro used for
trimmings on foundations or dra
peries. Thero nro many novelties
In colored laces, so many Indeed that
It is almost impossible to describo
thuin nil. Among them Is nn em
broidered bolting cloth, which will bo
very popular becauso it is both cheap
and pretty, besides being very durable.
It Is very suitable for summer wear for
young ladles nnd littlo girls.
Among tho newest dress goods in
wools nnd combinations I notice wool
cashmeres in now colors. In very light
tints. Sotuo greens hardly removed from
jellow, othors moro gray than green,
others again with n brown reflection and
others with a silvery whito bloom over
tho surface Green is seen In nil goods
In many shades, perhaps moro than any
other color. Un.cn of any slmdo in tho
soft sheer silk muslin, or tho cotton mus
lins or ginghams is particularly pleasing
oven on tho counter, and it is still
prettier mado up, and Is n delicious rest
to tho cyo in summer.
Thero nro shown soma now Jacquard
stTlpes of silk and wool, very wldo and
very beautiful. Thero is ono strlpoof
silk plain and tho wool stripo is brocaded
In tiny wreaths nud bouquets of tho
daintiest description. So flno nnd deli
cato aro tho flowers that it is moro Itko

or two shades of the color of tho goods.
Tlio embroidered bands uro in two
widths, and nre beautifully done, gener
ally with gold or silver threads, and it
costs about3 or 0a yard. This Includes
tho two bands, ono narrow and one soven
inches wido. It Is ull done In cowing
silk and silver or gold thread. Sotuo
houses charge (3 per yard.
Tlio high luster alpacas are Itcautiful,
and to my taste handsomer by far than a
silk that would cost even more money.

or linen warp, which aoon grows rusty.
Tlio others novor do.
Silk nnd wool stripes nron fnvorlto
combination,' nnd when of good quality
nro exceedingly handsomos but thero aro
always cheaper goods of ovory now fa
vorite which only look well whllo tho
first newness Is on them. These silk nnd
wool stripes nro scon in nil colors and
shades, nnd nro stylish for entire dressed
or as combinations. A directoiro walk

dcop Ardolso cashmero. An nccom
iMinylng toilet is nindo of the flno, hair
lino silk wnrp midway in tho sunlight
shndes of greon, worn witli a panol of
dark emerald green.
Among tho silks there is nothing so
iretty as tlio soft pearl gray Clairctto of
'ricstly weavo. It Is of black and whito
threads, 0110 silk, tho other tlio puro
natural black wool, and tho effect Is so
very lovoly that it Is not posslblo to ox
plain It. Tho dross In tho Illustration,
which Is mado of It, has n braiding of a
brown and gold mixed braid, with a
picot edge. Tho simplicity of tlio dross
will recommend it, nud nny lady can
copy that in nny color or goods. Tho
vest front is of old gold surah.
Tho companion gown is on tho inodol
of Uobolin bluo figured surah, with n
bordor of embroidery npplique, and with
sasli ribbon gracefully draped and tied
in thodiack. This dress can bo copied In
tho now figured flannels or In sateen or
any other suitablo material, nnd it is
very elegant and ladyliko and susccpti
bio of many adaptations.
Ono of tho prettiest dresses for early
spring that I liavo seen is mado of tlio
now watered silk with satin over stripes
in palo green. Tlio directoiro coat was
mado of that, nnd tho wide lapels woro
of plain silk in exactly tho eauio shado.
Tho vest nnd wldo panels aro of cream
colored crepo do chine, with n largo pat
tern in embroidery in yellow, moss green,
pink nnd bluo, loosely covering tho
wholo of tho two panels, vest nnd cuffs.
At tho opening of tho panels was a ens
cado of fringe of pink chenlllo and moss
green buttons.
Tho combination of russet green and
Tripoli pink is carried out in tho com
panion Uguro in tho modified directoiro
stylo. Tlio costumo is made of striped
surah in those two colors, and plain silk
sleeves and front breadth over which is
n drapery of black Spanish laco. Thero
is nlso n vest drapery of tho satno nnd a
full drapery in tho back of tho laco, the
panels nt tho sido being extra wido nnd
laid in two very wido plaits.
I choso this model to illustrato because
it is so suitablo for a variety of needs.
DtltKCTOmE COSTUMB AND MIDWAY 8UIT.
It can bo of gingham stripes, with a
whito laco front or a colored laco front.
Whito Oriental laco, forty Indies wido,
at about 75 cents per ynrd, of which
three yards would bo an abundnncc,
would cost $2.23, and eight yards of
gingham at 80 cents bo $2.40, and this,
with buttons, thread, etc., would still
bring tho cost within $3, a cheap dress for
b pretty a one. Tlio samo main idea
could bo carried out in nny kind of
goods, though a striped material would
bo tho most striking.
In silks, for summer dresses and light
traveling wraps, thero nro surahs In nil
possiblo colors nnd prices, which range
nil tho way from 48 cents to $1,G0 per
yard, a very good quality obtninablo for
05 to 70 cents. Thero is black satin
rhadames, and satin niervcilletiBo, black
fnlllo francnlso heavy cord nt 08 to 75
cents; black wutered silks and fancy
stripo nrmurcs nt $1.25. Thero nro
also nrmuro Pekin stripes, gros
grains, fancy stripo nrmurcs, brocades,
with moiro stripes, silk bcngnllnes
in nil shades, and figured bcngalincs in
many beautiful designs, besides the
checked and striped surahs, nnd the
China nnd India silks. And still there
nro numberless other variations in silks
which it is hardly worth vhllo to men
tion. Silk just now is very cheap,
cheaper than over- beforo, I think, but
tho dealers tell mo it will rlso on nccouut
of tho nhuost complcto failure of tho silk
crop this year, nnd nlso becauso of tho
strikes In tho great European fabrics.
Therefore, my sisters, hasten and buy
your silks nt once. Tell your husbands
nnd rnthcra now very urgent the caso is
and thoy will certainly never rcfusoBtich
a rcasonnblo request. Don't they always
look out for chances to buy mining
stock and live stock and wheat nud
things when thoy nro cheap, and then
wait for the rise? Of course they do, bo
you can now givo them a dose of their
own logic. Ouve IIahpek.
