The new color rhododendron, is very
beautiful.
White silk tes distinguish new dress,
bonnets, and white mull or t-hirToii

Opeu work effects in cut velvet are u
notable feature of the season's garn

"T:iM"i!urof the sun of gold an i of
coin, ' as a noted writer has christened
the popular tint of yellow. Gowns of.
this shade, plain or veiled with lace
were never more becoming, and in
brocade they are sumptous as court
dresses.
Blouses are no longer left plain and
full and blai'k, dependant upon the
faithfulness of the belt for their neat

i,ong loose mantles like those our

Ethel Chase Sprague, daughter of
of Kate Sprsgue, is said by a corres
pondent to de one of the most dashirg
and fearless horse-women iu the
country, fche rides a big bay horse
named Mar, the gift of .Senator Fair,
and personally superintends the care of
her favorite in the stable. Miss
Sprague has been familiar with horses
for years, and has passed a good portion
of her life iu the saddle. she learned
to ride when only 5 years old, when her
lather made her a present of a .Shet
land pony.
Among novel things in jewels is a
ring now the delight of the Parisieiines
heart, composed of the mystic number
of seven fine gold wires, each encrusted
with either diamond dust or emeralds
sapphires, rubies, etc. The wires are
then twisted together in a band.
Another bit of precious adornment
without which life is a failure to the
Frenchwoman of fashion is a long gold
chain three or four yards in length,
strung at interveals with large pearls,
twisted about her neck and caught up
on one side of the corsage. Gold chat
eiains are almost as common with
Parisian ladies as are the siiver ones
in this city. The French elegante at
the races without her gold tablets,
pencil and purse attached by golden
chains to her girdle is an unhappy and
desolate creature. French watches
take now the form and coloring of a
flower. A beaut, fully enamelled pansy
diamond edged, pinned with a single
large diamond al the left of a lady's
bodice, jnst above the bust, has a time
piece beneath its petals. .
; Handsome gowns of maguola-white
cloth which always looks rich and
tasteful on every occasion are made
with vests of white silk-cord embroidery
applied directly to the dress front.
The latest chemises are cut en cceur
or in the form called "Josephine,"
which is rounder than en cceur and all
ornamented with lace and open work
insertion.
The novelty ia millinery silks up to
the present is shaded velvet and satin
antique. Among the noticable combi
nations are mousse green and pink
with dull gray.
! Boots and shoes have round or square
toes the pointed ones are supposed to
have gone out but I think they are
certainly the most stylish looking; the
others make the feet look too large.
A very novel hat is of leghorn with a
peculiar garniture on the inside of the
brim of rows of striped ribbon iu cream
blue and brown, which is also used at
the front and back in large loops.
! Corn-yellow India muslins and
French batiste dresses are garniture
white Irish point embroideries, and
Spanish yellow and pink China silks
and bengalines with Venetian lace
'flounces, berthas and Vaiols sleeyes.
Some of the newest veils being worn
at this moment are the clear Russian
nets with the skeleton plush spot.
jMany people are giving up the unbe
coming plan of wearing veils reaching
,to the chin and have fallen back on the
old one of letting them end just below

It is interesting to note the influence
that new inventions and ideas exercise
on the sphere of needle work, without
any intention of a conscious imitation.
At present colored Swedish embroidery
is quite the rage, the long easily done
stitches and characteristic patterns being
quits in harmony with modern taste.
Summer demand especial fans, sim
pler and less ornamental than those
under whose shelter bright eyes cast
their captivating glances around the
evening salon. Summer fans are large
and light colored. The frames are made
of plain wood; the cover of crape.
Young ladies of artistic talent can exer
ciae their taste in painting thair fans in
floral or figure design. The parasol fan
is coming Into use as novelty. It is
easier to hold than a parasol, and a good
shade from the sun's ray. These fans
are chiefly made of green gauze; some
times even of paper; they can be orna
mented wiO either birds or ribbon bows.

With a little care biooma can be kept

Always scald a new broom lie fore it
has ever been used. Pour boiling water
all over the broom w here it is attached
to the liand; then t-tand the broom up
to dry, with the end of the handle rest
ing on the floor and tlie straws upier
most. This treatment rendeis the broom
soft and pliable, making it wear better.
When a broom U not in use never
stund it w ith the straws next tlie floor,
for it tends to make the broom one sided
no. 1. no. 2. no. 3.
and spoils its shape. Rather stand the
broom so it will rest on the end of the
handle, with the straws lightlv leaning
ngainst the wall; or, better still, pierce
a hole througli th f top of the broom
handle with a red hot nail, run a strong
string through tho hole and tie it in a
loop to hang the broom up by.
Then see that the broom is always
hung up clear of the floor when it is put
Rway.
If, after a time, the broom begins to
grow brittle again, subject it to the same
treatment as at first, and it will again
become pliable. Or it is a good plan to
put the broom into the lint suds in the
boiler on washing day, after the clothes
are removed, and leave it a few moments
to soak; then shake it out thoroughly,
and stand it up to dry. Tiiis w ill not
only render the straws more pliable, hut
will cleanse the broom from lint or other
dirt in the inside of it.
To restore a worn broom (Fig. 1), soak
it thoroughly in scalding water, and be
sure that every straw is well scalded;
then shake out the broom, and while it
is wet bend it in its proper form, so that
all the straws will lie straight and even.
This done, fasten a cloth band around
the broom to keep it in shape until it
lias completely dried (Fig. 2). Next re
move the band, and with a large pair of
scissors clip the long uneven straws on
the edge, and you will be surprised at
the improved appearance of tho broom
(Fig. 3).
If these suggestions are faithfully car
ried out, brooms will wear better, last
longer, sweep cleaner, and in every way
prove far more satisfactory.

Tlie Scent of Flower
In jiopular acceptation, the soul of
the flower resides in iu perfume Hut
certain loveliest flower souls sometimes
exercise sitigul ir repelle;ices for indi

have been those even who could not en.
dure the fragrance of the rose. To my
knowledge one observer, linds in the
scent of lilacs an unpleasant reminder
of the odor of escaping gas. Another
makes iiodistiiirUon between the breath
of mignonette and the smell of fresh

Sense of sine!!, there is another and
quite distinct pleasure -that which is
conveyed in the contact of a liower; as

Earthworm and Suit Wuter
A very important fact iu the econo-.
my of eathworms is their susceptibility
to salt water; they are for the most
part soon killed by an immersion in
salt water, and it appears that their
eggs are also incapable of withstanding
its influence for a prolonged period.
However, the eggs are not deposited
singly, but are inclosed in large num
bers iu an egg case-of a leathery con
sistence, which may be, for a time a1
'east, impermeable to sea water. H is
tlierefore Just conceivable that the co
coons might cross in safety a narrow
sea inclosed in a ball of earth upou the
root of a floating tree.
Hut it seems certain that a very long
time does not elapse before the egg iu
the cocoon are fatally injured by the
sea water. The only exception at pres
ent, auowu is au eartuworm which is
found in heaps of cast up seaweed ou
the seashores of the Mediterranean and
North sea. -Chambers' Journal
