IWRITTEU FOR THE DISPATCH It looks as if some day a tea crusade may have to be instituted. Physicians now freely protest against the constant tea drink ing of women, aud lay many digestive and ccrrous disorders to the practice. A woman presiding at a tea, urn is, however, so fascinating a picture, and knows she is audi, and the woman dainty sipping her tea irom a bit of egg shell porcelain issuch a pretty companion piece that neither th tea maker nor the tea drinker will go with out a struggle. Every reception room, simple or elegant, nowadavs, has its tea service of accompanying degree, ready to brew the drink at a moment's notice, and "let me give you a cup of tea" seems to be the shibboleth of society. At the recent exhibition ot the Verestchagin pictures at the American Art Galleries in this city the artist offered tea a la Kusse to all the visitors, a bit of hospitality, by the way, which was much appreciated. At the Dore Exhibition, now on, a tea room is provided, and there is talk of introducing the service of the "cup which cheers" in the theater lobbies. This is done in London theaters, aud would doubless prove popular here, but if we are to believe the physicians, all this extension of tea privileges is a matter of sinister moment. A pretty sofa or chair roll seen the other day was made of three fine hemstitched handkerchiefs, put together in the lace in sertion, the pattern of the lace being picked out in heliotrope wash silk. The gathered ends were first lace trimmed, iorming when gathered a lrilled rosette, tied with heliotrope ribbonx, the whole drawn over a roll first covered with helio trope silesia. "Don't," says a woman who has been wrestling with cod liver oil, "take water after it. That will complete your misery at once. A lime or peppermint drop; a bit of orauge peel or a taste ot tomato catsup are the best and quickest destroyers of the disagreeable flavor ot the medicine. Canopied beds are being regarded with much disfavor from a sanitary point ot view; in particular those high post ones whose close curtains make an almost air tight chamber for the sleeper. Even the dainty lace draperies which add to the grace and freshness of mademoiselle's pretty brass or maple couch can be dis pensed with with wholesome results. Our mall apartments, overheated houses and tendency to stav indoors if the weather is not bright, all these need the'eounteraction of plenty of pure air at night, a condition to which e ery additional fold of drapery is a bar. The most wholesome bedroom should have enough curtains, eyen lace ones, "straining" the air, as the little bov who wanted to go out complained, and should be as destitute of any clogging hang ings as possible. If you should be in New York anv of these bright afternoons, ahd in Fifty-ninth street about 3 o'clock, don't iaucv the ycung women you may meet in short, scant cloth skirts, with unmistakable trousers showing beneath, loose military capes lined with red, flying open from the throat, and THE FACE VEIL. half-high silk hats or visor caps are Salva tion Army people, or dress relormersl They are fashionables en route to the riding school for a mount and canter through the park. If a man is walking with them, his dress will be a cross between a groom and a briirand high boots with spurs in the heels, a single loose cape not 'unlike those of the joung women, and often a soft hat that only needs a feather to make it look fresh from,a mountain pass. But the mo ment the 'party is mounted and off, all eccentricities of appearance have anished, and thev will look as they are, suitably dressed lor their sport. A divan piled with white cushions, whose snowincss came from their sheer lawn cov ers, edged all around with a double ruffle of soft mull, gave a touch of freshness to an apartment recently seen. A riot of cushions and rugs still seems thefurnisHingarabition of most women. And to vary her cushions is one of the problems of the modern chate laine. A unique cushion given to a bride by her jister was composed ot bits of every gown in her trousseau skillfully and artis tically appliqued npon a square of the wnue lame weuuiuj; juu. Snmethiug new in the laundry business in this city is the establishment of one where the plain pieces, such as bed and table linen, will be done ready for use, starched articles to be sent home rough, dried and unstiffened, a uniform price of 4 cents per pound being charged. This is cer tainly a step toward the preservation of linen, as it is the ironing of starched pieces which is apt to be destructive when done by wholesale Octave Thanet, the well-known story writer, is an enthusiastic amateur photog rapher. A lamp shade of pale blue chiffon which was used with a Dresden limp had a fall ing rufll made of the material doabled,tnd where it was served on tiny pink rosebuds outlined an encircling, wreath. The chiffon was gathered very full above the ruffle and held in place at the top with a second wreath ot the pink flowers put closely to gether. Over the bowl of the Bhade were sewn at irregular Intervals on the pale blue chiflon tiny clusters of rosebuds tied with little bows" of baby ribbon ot the same tint. This design was repeated in English violets and white chiffon used with a silver lamp. A "Watteau Cotillon" was given recently in a neighboring city and proved a success ful form of charitable eutertainment. Twenty selected couples danced the pretty figures dressed in pure Watteau style, the young women in rosebud brocades and pow dered hair, and the cavaliers gorgeous in silks,satins, laces and diamond buckles. A Mav pole dance, a hunting figure and sev eral others made a series of pretty group ings, with finally a beautifully decorated Sedan chair. This was brought in by liv eried lackeys,and out otit stepped a lotelv Dresden shepherdesi, who distributed flowers and favors to everybody. Although the idea was carried out for a benefit fund lor a hospital, it is one that could merely assist a clever hostess in planning a novel german. "The safety in eating fisb," says a physi cian, "lies in eating it alone. To take bread or potato into the mouth at the same time increases the risk of not discovering a bone until it is lodged in the throat." Alpine bats and tailor-made gowns seem to be on every other woman abroad for shopping- A certain reaction against kindergartens has set in, not as opposed to the principle, but to some of the practice which makes of the idea many times merely a school for fancy work. Felt sold by the yard in narrow widths for use in bows and rosettes is a feature of new millinery. It is also plaited, and, in fact, treated like straw braids. Asa con trast to this severe trimming for dressy bonnets, aigrettes and feathers incrnsted with jewels are shown. Shades for the blue and white Japanese lamps are especially effective, made of the blue anil white Japanese silks of the porce lain patterns. At one of the week's weddings in this city the wedding cake was imported from England, reaching here on the very morn ing of the eventful day. American caterers have not taken at all kindly to these tower ing pieces, which the English bride of qual ity deems indispensable, to the ceremony, and those who- saw Miss Gardiner's huge "temple of sweets" could not be persuaded to more than admire its novelty. Coin fringes are shown for use on gowns, but smack of barbaric stage effects. Margaret H. "Welch. THE LATEST IN FASHIONS. fWRITTEX TOR TI1E PI3PATCII.1 Did you say that Empire was the style? Did you say that everything which comes from Paris or from the great London mod istes has an Empire touch, either of the First, under Josephine, with low-cut, short waisted bodice, or of the Second, under Eugenie, a la crinoline ? But what would you say if you heard that the Empire revival was to be only very short-lived; that it was soon to be super seded by the mode of 1830; that even now Paris has declared herself in favor ot it be cause she thinks it a graceful"go-hetween," a style that has all the beauties of both and the extravagances of neither. It's a little tantalizing, don't you think so, to discover that your newest gown, cut in the very lat est fashion, as yon supposed, is about to be followed by another which will usurp its place? But take hearty don't cast off your pretty new cown. It will take a long while for the Empire to become old-fashioned, and there isn't such a difference between the old and the new to make it worth while get ting the latter, and perhaps those of us who are on this side of the water will still cling to our first love. For there's a good deal of independence even in the matter of dress about the American woman, and a favorite style will often linger long after it has been declared old-.ashioned. This was never more strikingly exempli fied than in the matter of the bell skirt. Long after Worth and Felix had practically abandoned it it reigned supreme, aud one could find scarcely a single costume worn by an American that had not a bell skirt At present the bell, when it is used, is drawn just as tightly over the hips, but flares much wider at the feet. The trimming of skirts grows daily. You can watch it creeping farther and farther "up. Just at present it reaches the kuees, and should stop there. There is still, however, much more at tention paid to the corsage than to the skirt of a gown. I saw a remarkably pretty one to-day on a young girl. It was quite elab orate for the almost plain skirt, that had simply a deep band of beaver at the edge. The bodice had a white crepe front, with a full white velvet belt hooking in the back under a knot of ribbon. Over the front came short jacket fronts, beaver color, closely embroidered in narrow black braid, and edged with beavrr. There was also a band of embroidery at the netk, and one of fur above. The sleeves were quite short first, puffs to the elbow of the cloth, then wide hanging ruffles, embroidered and edged with fur. A pretty directoire bodice that I taw for home wear was made of black cloth, dotted with black silk spots, and had a white belt covered with heavy black silk lace Vene tian point. The bodice turned back in large revers over a white satin front that was almost completely covered by a large bow in black tulle. The sleeves were al most plain, and had simply a cuff on the style of the belt. ' I saw another bodice intended for a very young girl It was all whjte and green, which is a particularly popular combination this season, especially tor evening wear. One sees white gowns with green velvet sleeves, green gowns with quantity of white softening their shades. Itisre jnarkably pretty combination, and has an other advantage that of suiting a diversity of complexions. Women who hare not the best of elcins can wear it becomingly. This bodies wh aula of tat wilt ma terlal, and had a pointed white belt, as well as a large square yoke of white. The yoke and belt, however, were closely covered with exquisite green embroidery, done in fine stitches. The collar was the same, and three bands of the embroidery went around the plain, lower sleeve. Pretty, fanciful veBts, to slip over dress fronts or plain bodices are growing very popular. A very pretty one is made of blaok velours and is trimmed with beaver. The vest fronts are cut down into narrow points that fall just below the full wide belt of the same material. These fronts are edged with fur, which also runs around the neck, and two large velvet buttons are fast ened at either' side. Some delicate ones are made in white or pale colored . satins or brocades and have short wide-open fronts, full wide belts, and occasionally a little short pointed piece fol lowing over the top of the arm in lieu of a sleeve. They are particularly pretty in the light dainty materials. Let me tell you of another bodice for evening wear. It is cut quite low and round. It is made of heavy green silk and has a pretty gathering of green all around the low cut neck. The ruffle ties in a bow at the front There are short greeu velvet' puffs for sleeves, and a green velvet belt. TO HONOR THE DEPARTED. rwBtTTijr tor tux dispatch, i We are ridiculous or sensible, unique or shopworn, in our fashions for the living. Until very recently we have been only gruesome in our fashions for the dead. It was in a country farmhouse in which I saw two silver coffin plates in deep frames of black walnut inscribed "Father" and "Mother." They hung side by side on the j walls of a damp, dark parlor the first ob- I i . SEW EVEUTXO BODICES. ject one sees on entering the room. They are probably hanging there yet, but outside rock-bound cus toms of the Eastern village, modes ot mourning and the etiquette of sorrow change, while grief remains forever the same. Each new form improves upon'the last until we are no longer gruesome; we were subdued, unpretentious and mourn with perfection of detail, unless an undertaker forgets a seemingly trivial item, or a family in which death has occurred' do not thor oughly understand their part in the pag eantry of death. The undertaker ofone of the largest New York parishes has minutely detailed an ac count of the funeral arrangements, and they are given here. It is for the undertaker, of course, to take immediate possession of the room and body of a deceased person, nor is it necessary for the family to be asked a question, or a hint of a death to be conveyed to them until the body is carried into the parlor or to the church tor the final services. " The preferred mode of preparation of dead bodies is by embalmment. Until very recently, a strong prejudice against touch ing the sacredness of death existed among the most enlightened people, but fortunately that is wearing away. Soon the custom of ihg ice a custom awkward, bunirlinfr and A Peep Mourning Drats. shocking will be entirely dispensed with to make place for an enoalmment perfect enough to endure through a long sea voyage. Since embalming is removing the neces sity of speedy burial, the time of interment is alo being lengthened. Instead ot the second day after, death, the fourth or even filth is now tho -correct period for burial This allows more time for friends to arrive and for perfected arrangements. Opinions differ as to the hour ot the funeral, and cir cumstances also have a word to sav about it Perhaps the moJt convenient time is 10 o'clock in the morning any day but Sunday. The undertaker told me that this change is quite a radical innovation upon the old custom of Sunday afternoon funerals. He gives two reasons one is the parade and publicity of a funeral cortege winding through the gay carriages of Sunday pleas ure seekers, and the other is that on a week day 10 A. M. is almost the only hour when business men can leave their'offices. An early morning funecal also is very con venient when the cemetery is at a distance. As to the shrouding of abodr, styles are in transition. Many people still wish their dead to be buried in the garment! they wore in life, but there is something unnecessarily painful in the contrasted states of being. Not long ago a brilliant belle lay stark in a filmy ball gown and little dancing shoes. Another was laid in her coffin with her bridal dress and veil upon her as she would have walked in a few days to the altar. Their friends Wre hysterical, and the funerals were sensational spectacles instead of decorously subdued ceremonies. Extremes like this are, happily, seldom reached, yet, on the whole, burial robes furnished by the undertaker are becoming more and more nto vogue. They are usu ally very simple a Prince Albert suit for men, and white, gray or delicately-tinted gowns for women. The styles were accord ing to the age. exactly as in life, of course.! us Aiwr.thibo.yiH fetes roWlt k itfl51.l"P"'ln BF Pra ouinut, undisturbed in the death chamber untiljut before the hour set for the services. Then and here is another change .in the usual mode the coffin in which the body has been placed a short time before is closed finally and borne to the drawing room. We have a barbaric curiosity to see our own kind in death, and it is a hideous thing. How many people attend funerals for noth ine else in the world than to look at & corpse and criticise the labors of love about it There must be confusion, disturbing whisperB and unlimited annoyances when the coffin is left open after mere acquaint ances have arrived at the house; therefore, the altering mode. If ,the coffin is left open at the wish of the family, the undertaker indicates to a few people that it 1b their turn' to go forward. After they return to their seats a few more are chosen. Every thing is done to avoid the appearance of display. Even the immediate family should sot come down stairs for the services. They ought to sit together near the head of the stairs, while the clergyman stands near the foot. This is a mooted point, I know, but the undertaker whom I interviewed was very decided as to the propriety of remain ing away from the mere acquaintances. Friends are notified of a death through the pres, unless the funeral.is to be private, when the undertaker sends cards .in the name of the family. The entire matter of invitation to the pallbearers is also left'to him. Pallbearing is, of course, entirely honorary, for the undertaker's porters carry the casket, while the friends, from four to 16 in uu'nber, walk bifore them. For a church funeral the order of ar rangement does not materially change. First comes the boy choir, singing, from the vestry, meeting the funeral party at the door; then the minister, who precedes me paimearers; Deniud tueni is carried the casket, and lollowing this the nearest rela tive walks. If a wile has died the husband escorts the eldest daughter or his wife's mother. It is not unusual for him to walk alone. Fewer carriages follow the hearto to the grave than used to be considered even allowable. But each year finds our mourning greater. Everything is placid except the flowers. They flaunt upon the quiet form in all their warm life colorincsof scarlet, nurnle and gold. It is to prove, perhaps, that death may be triumphant and is not to be feared. Roses pink, white, yellow, and, yes, evea deep, glorious red are ured in profusion. The day of designs, "set pieces" nnd in scriptions has, let us hope, disappeared forever. Instead dozens and dozens of mag nificent, long-stemmed roses are loosely laid together and tied with ribbons of a contrasting shade. So much now is made of the floral decorations that thev practi cally determine the "good form" of the whole affair. For a young person pink, yellow and white are the favorite colors; pink roses in huge loose bunches, four of which may cover the entire coffin lid, tied with white ribbons; yellny chrysanthemums tied with long green ribbons; orchids df any variety,-khite flowers which may roughly iunuw me lorm oi cross or pillar, out so vaguely that the suggestion of design is just hinted. All these are frequent orders at a well-known florist's. For a middle-aged person violets are largely used, They are laid carelessly into the form of a wreath and then tied with the wide royal purple ribbon. It is odd. Almost startling, is it not? Yet it is the favorite of the hour. Violets, too, are scattered one by one over the robe and in the coffin. Carnations are used in profusion for middle-aged nnd elderly people. They are laid in bunches, each one a trifle lower than the next, and then the finishing touch is added with a yard or more of ribbon, when several friends send bunches of roses and carnations caught with ribbons of many hues. The effect is remarkably striking. And yet there is nothing bizarre or ot a doubtful taste in this new fashion, for eVerv flower is worthy of a place near death. Palm leaves are in de mand for decorations. Two large ones may be crossed, tied with dark green ribbon and laid upon the casket of an old man or woman. Ivy wreaths and long festoons come next to viplets in popularity. -The English ivy is used everywhere about the rooms for decorations and in quantities about the coffins. It has replaced smilax, and is most effective with its dark green shimmer. Mourning in dress is just now not to ibe reckoned with. One authority says crape is as correct as' it has ever been, and that he would not think of suggesting anything else for a widow's veil. Another a'ssured me that crape is going out rapidly, and where 25 yards used to be sold one is bar gained for at present Certainly there are substitutes less somber and conspicuous than the heavy, cumbersome crape which many fashionable women are wearing to day. One is an extra fine qualitv of nun's veiling, and the other is very light Hen rietta cloth. With both of these a black face veil with crape border is worn. When crape is preferred, as many as six or eight yards are fastened to the tiny bonnet. Part, falls over the face well to the waist, and the rest, deeply hemmed, must reach below it behind. No wonder women wish to do away with a fashion so unnecessary and ex treme. Daughters wear for a parent's death a low turbau-shaped hat with a light qual ity of crape or nun's veiling. After six months they may don lovelv Scotch plaid dresses, black and white, or beautiful En glish cheviots of gray. The widows must wear crape for two years as trimming upon their gowns of Henrietta cloth, imperial serge or armure silk. Widows' mourning dresses mav be elaborate. It is possible for a wealthy woman to dresmore hand somely in black than in colors, but grief, true grief will tolerate nothing but the very refinement of subdued, well-bred, unnotice able expression. 1MPE0VBMENIS M0SI EAPID In the Manufacture of Armor-Piercing Projectiles by Americans.

Grover Cleveland has a fine collection of walking sticks, which he kept in his gun room at Buzzard's Bay the past summer. One of the canes which Mr. Cleveland, takes a particular, delight in was presented to Andrew Jackson in 1821 by a number of citizens. The .inscription of the donors is on the rounded top of the silver handle. The 'cane was made fronva branch of an oak that grew on the grave of Thomas Jef ferson at Monticello, who directed that his last retting place should be "among ancient and venerable oaks" and that should be in terspersed, "some gloomy evergreens" and "let the'exitlook npon a small and distant part or the Blue Mountain,"."

SEH0B HIJABZ3 IN NEW Y0ES, Tlie Befagoe Whom Venezuelans Tried to Capture From an American Ship. Quarantine, S. L, Nov. 19. The Bed "D" steamship Philadelphia dropped her anchor off quarantine at 9:30 o'clock to night. Among the passengers from La Guayra was Senor Mijares, lately Governor of Caracas, "Venezuela. Senor Mijares has got the lied "D" steamship line Into trouble and incidentally has caused theUnited States Government some uneasiness. He is the refugee whom tho steamship refused to sur render to the authorities at Venezuela. Mr. Mijares gave his side of the story of the charge against him of stealing cattle in Venezuela. He says ' he was sent out to buy provisions for the Government ' when Crespo's forces were at Gnaybo. A number of horses and cattle were taken, but not in robbery, orders being given for 60 days on the Na tional Treasury. When the bills fell due the revolutionary party was in poweT and they, of course, did not pay the bills. Dangers to Submarine Cables. Submarine cables are occasionally liable to injury from aquatic monsters. Not long ago the Brazilian cable was found to be working badly at a distance of about 70 miles from land. The wire was hauled to the surfaoe, when it was found that the body of a huge whale was entangled in it The animal had got caught in the cable, and its frantic efforts to escape had only twisted the wire more tightly round its bodv. When brought up the wire was, found to be twisted into a complicated series of knots round the leviathan, which was quite dead. Itainle Fibre or Bank Notes.
