The body, sleeves and drapery were of the wool goods; the vest, collar, cuffs and lower skirt of the silk. The skirt had a very wide panel of the silk laid in deep plaits, each plait furnished with a narrow edging of pearl bead trimming. The vest, collar and cuffs were similarly trimmed. One side of the drapery was drawn up and held by acord or gimp of small pearl beads, terminating in two tassels of the same beads. The design was exquisite, the dress being especially admired by the favored few who were permitted to see it Another dress was made of cream white faille and the finest, sheerest silk mull, the mull being arranged in very light floating draperies, plainly hemmed, and without any ornament whatever, The square neck was filled in with mull in bias folds, The style was very severe, but was admirably suited to the statuesque young gentle. be taken on Lhe srt as it Is quite fashional rin Gur g in iUgRage burder places the much "ih Crsirind 3 AIOE fortable i and 3 and woman for whom it was Intended, ~{zarrison still leads Mclaughlin ip winning mounts — A thin layer of clay will be put or the Bpringfleld track this fall, Jilly Button, 2.174, has been ily { turned to his New Jersey home, 4 il Cora Huff and Flora Bells trotted a mile to pole in 2.214 al Hartford, ~~ Andy Welch has sold Lady | kins, 2.20, by Ambassador, to F.
