Every epoch will be drawn upon for novelties, if you will pardon the hull. For instance, the Yalois will furnish us toques and pulled fleevcs; Louis XIIL will contribute lacs efiecis, berthas in particular; Louis XV. will suggest flowered silks, ribbon effects, bows and Watteau folds and jeweledbuckles. Prom Louis XVXwe shall get, among other things, the Marie Antoinette fichus, while the Directory will make itself felt in the line of large revers and pocket flap's, and the times of Empress Josephine will be re membered in onr girdles and low necks. The illustration shows a very stylish design for a gray gown, a silver gray vicuna cloth, with passementerie corselet and braces, the latter passing afternoon tea seems to be gaining ground. It has the merit of being more distinctive at all events, as there are not many houses in New York that could stand tbe crush of an evening affiir if the invitations were as general as those for a, tea. Where a tea is given for the purpose of introducing a debutante to society, it is be coming an unwritten law that those of her friends who have been invited to receive with her should remain afterward either to dinner, or (as was done very successfully in the case of one younc lady "lately) for a sit down supper; a number ot young men being asked te stay after the reception in informal lashion. The dress of those who "assist" should not be too elaborate, as it is tbe debutante that should be the cynosure ot all eyes; it is in better taste, therefore, for her friends to consider this, and fo wear less conspicuous gowns themselves.

L rjcoFLB who do not wish to wear ails: petti, coats and yet desire black ones, may hare them made of black alpaca. It is nothing nnusal to see lace and fur on the same bonnet, as lace on winter hats is one of the leatures of the season. Loxo veils with striped or ombroldered edge, falling from the wide brim of the hat, are considered the most stylish present Vs freshening up a black silk gown, full sleeves, collar and broad revers of shaded velvet are used by the best dressmakers. Most of tbe dresses that are being made now have no darts at the top of the skirt; the fullness is gathered into tbe waistband. Tux lone cloak, rich as it may Do' is un sulted to young women, tbe semi-long jaunty jacket belonging especially to them. She who wears her hair in the Greek knot now fits about the knot a gold band, the precious metal being twisted as if it were ribbon. The new color for outdoor wear, at all events is undoubtedly purple. Many of the models in eowns, bonnets and cloaks have come out in it.

The bot tom of the skirt is also edged with the pas-i-ementcrie. The skirt is made ot a tingle piece of the material, taking the width for the length. The corsage is pleated at the neck iu tront, and the sleeves have long cufls buttoned. The straight collar is also pleated. The corsage parses under the skirt, anil hooks invisibly at the back. The front has no seam. Another very pretty cown was in plaid woolen material made np from breadths cut on the cross, and trimmed with three rows of black galoon, cut zigzag. The skirt was sewed on a band and lined with satinet. There were basques with long points and they were sewed on. Both the waist and plaited front closed under the left arm. The bottom of the skirt had three zigzag rows of the galoon. Floestte. The Latest in Millinery. In the way of hats and bonnets there is little change; the capotes are tiny; there i-eems scarcely space to place the bows, aig rettes or feathers. The hats being larger, aSord a wider field for placing ornaments, large velvet bows always with two pointed ends like ears feathers or fur and a buckle. There is a bead dress, neither quite bonnet nor hat, made of soft felt, crumpled, bent, plaited and turned about as fancy dictates; these are trimmed with velvet bows and leathers, gold or jet ornaments or fancy pins. Black felt is the favorite material for hats. Beaver is newer, and is often com bined with felt. Black is more fashionable than anything else, and next to it suede trimmed with black. Quills, ram's-horn feathers and horn leathers of all kinds are the very height of fashion. Aigrettes are mostly -placed in front. Jet is greatly used. even on white cloth. Shaded velvet is one ol the novelties. Dahlia color is in favor, and brown is combined w ith violet. The Marie Stuart is the prevailing style.in bon nets. A return to the old-lashioned bonnet curtain is threatened, which, however, will turn up instead of down. Bringing: Out Receptions.

"That's the worst of it," answered the girl, her eyes filling with tears. "I don't want to do that. I can't; and I came to see you to-night, hoping I would be able to stop your going to the police, and saying how you got the note in your posses sion." "Good Heavens!" exclaimed John Agis tor. "You mustn't talk to me like that. You cannot expect that I shall help you to keep a matter like this secret "Why, it's assisting a murderer." "But if you know all, if I tell you all" "My good girl, I am quite willing to be lieve that you are innocent of any evil in tention in the matter, but alter all, you are a perfect stranger to me. I know nothing about you except that I met you in Picca dilly Circus and gave you 5L" "No! You lent me 5, and I have hon estlv returned it to you." "That's trne, but the note you sent rae is part of the proceeds of a robbery, a rob berv committed with murderous violence." "Well," said tbe girl, brushing her tears away, and hardening ber face, "at anv rate I am here and I have shown vou the notes. I have concealed no.hing. You hare me in your power. You can seize my arm and call a policeman. Will you hear what I have to sav before vou decide what you will do?" "Yes; I don't think I can be doing any harm. But I don't think anything you can tay will induce rae to alter my mind." 1 "Hear what I have to say first. Then when I have told you, you can decide. It is not very ninch I am going to ask you See, here are the notes; take them." She handed over the envelope with the by tbe Author. notes in it to Alister. Ha put the packet in his pocket. "How," she said, "you have all the notes. To-morrowyou can take them to Scotland Yard. I want you to take them to-morrow, but not to-night" "Why not to-night?" "Because I don't want to be hunted down to-night I don't want to be traced by tbe police." "What have you to fear?" "Nothing for myself everything for my husband." "Your husband?" "Yes; the man who gave me those notes was my husband." "Is he a dark young man?" "So; he Is not the man who traveled with Mr. Turner don't have any fear. I an not asking you to shield a thiei and an assassin. I am asking you to shield a man who has suffered much already, who will suffer more it you refuse my request to-night" "Well, tell me your story. I shall know better how to answer you when I have heard it" "The night I saw you I was in terrible distress. I had been waiting about all day, hoping to meet my husband, who had been tiying to get a little money for me and the child the child who was ilL He didn't keep his appointment, and I hadn't a penny, and I wanted to get back to tuy babv. I heard women ask men for cab fares. I saw money given. I thought I would ask some one for a bus fare, lor I was worn out and dreaded the long, weary walk home. You looked like a gentleman, and I, with the recklessness of despair, asked yon. You know the rest" "I don't understand you," broke in Alis ter. "If you have a husband why did vou want to wait about Piccadilly to meet him? Why shouldn't you have waited at home fprhim?" "I will tell you why. And in telling you I am trusting you with the secret of my life. My husband has made himself liable to tbe law. In a fit of desperation mad ness, call it what you like he used n.oney belonging to his "employers. He thought his lather would enable him to pay it back before his crime was discovered. His father refused sent him away irom his door with hard, cruel words; and then he was afraid to go back to his situation afraid to return to me and his child. He was afraid that he would be arrested. After he bad gone I did a little work; kept the home together as well as I could. But work fell off, and the night you met me I hadn't a penny in the world. I used to meet him once a week near the circus. It was my night He had written to me that ho would make one more appeal to his father tell him of his marriage to me of his child, and try and touch his heart that way. I waited lor him, but he never came, and I knew that his last effort had failed." "But your husband Mr. Wilson." "His name is not "Wilson. Wilson is only the name I used to sign my letter to you. My name is Lillian Turner. Mv husband is the son of the man who was robbed and left for dead in the railway carriage." "Good God!" A horrible idea flashed through John Alister's mind. He believed now that this poor girl's husband had attacked and rob bed his own lather, and that the wife was trying to stop him Irom giving information lest it should bring her husband to the gallows. Lillian Turner guessed what was passing in her companion's mind. "I know what you are thinking," she exclaimed; "but you are wrong. Do you think if it was so bad as that that I should be talking with you here now? No. My husband has made one terrible mistake in his life: for that, if he were arrested now, he would have to answer. But be has no share in this terrible crlmel" S"But, my dear young lady, it looks very black against him. Mr. Jaines Turner saw these notes in your father-in-law's possess ion at the station. He took one of them to pay for his ticket He then went on'to the platform and into the train, .and in that train he is found nearly murdered with tbe notes missing. These notes were in your husband's possession to-day. Unless he Entire Store Open Evenings. A- SNOWY CHRISTMAS IT IS TO BE.

"My husband saw his father the night before he left for London and made one last appeal to him. At that interview he told his father ail told him of his marriage, of his child, of the foolish, wicked thin: he had done, and of all he bad suffered. He must have touched the old man's heart to a certain ex tent, for he promised to think it oyer, and told my husband to meet him on the plat form at London Bridge the next evenintr. Jly husband went, met his father there, and bis father gave him 50 in notes, bidding him go at once to his employers and place himself at their mercy. That money my hus band brought to me that'nlght. It was in my possession that night To-day my husband was to have taken 30, tbe amount he mis appropriated, to his employers. But at the last moment nls courage tailed him, and he assed me to go. I went, and they were out I came back and sent you 5 out of the 20 we had to spare. After I had posted it ray husband came in with a white, terrified fuce and a paper in his hand. 'My GooT he said, 'my poor father bas been murdered, and the murder is supposed to have been committed for these notes. See, here are the numbers of them in the paper. No one knew that I went to meet him on the plat form; no one saw him give them to me. Jf y God my Godl what will people think?" "I left him at home, and I came here to see yon at on cej if possible, and tell yon everything. Now you know. Give us till to-morrow. To-morrow my husband will have had time to recover his courage. To-morrow he shall go to the police and tell everything. If you go with this note to night, and' put "them on his track, they will find hiia and he will be arrested. That will be against him, terribly against him." "Have yon told me everything?" asked John Alister, looking into the girl's face. "Everything." "Why did your husband quarrel with his father?" "His father was a very stern man, and my husband was hot tempered. They quar reled, and his father told him to go and earn his own living and trouble him no more; and he went It was after he left his father's house tbat. I met him and married him. I'was In employment then. I was in a milliner's shop. I earned my living as a milliner while I could after my husband left me." John Alister knew instinctively that the girl's story was true. He guessed she rfas just a hard-working little woman, wi:h whom the world had gone wrong, and he felt sorry for her; but he didn't quite see keeping the secret of those terrible 5 notes. He felt that he would be acting,wrongly in doing so. "I tell vou what I will do, Mrs. Turner," he said, alter pause. "I'll come back with you, U vou'll allow me, and see jour hus band. I'm a man of the world, and may be able to advise him." "Verv well, come. It's a long way. "We live at fcentish-town." , "We can take a cab." Alister hailed a cab, and the strange cbuple got into it and were driven to Kentish-town. Mrs. Turner lived in a aids street running out of the main road. She opened tbe door with a latchkey, and they went up stairs togetner. As they entered the little sitting room a young man of six or seven and twenty started up horrified. He had heard the sound of a man's footstep on the stairs. "Don't be alarmed dear" said his wife. "This is a friend. He is the gentleman who had the 5 note." Turner tank back into his chair and bnried his face in his hands. "My wife has told you all?" "Yes." "And vou won't go to the police to nieht?" " "Yes, I must; but I want yon to come with me. It is the best thing you can do, believe me." E"or over half an hour John Alister sat in the little room and urged the terrified man to do the only .sensible thing possible. At last be consented, and after a painful fare well scene with his wife, for he believed tbat he would be arrested and locked up, young Turner went with John Alister to Scotland Yard, and was shown into the presence of the officer in charge. John Alister commenced by handing over to the astonished functionary a bundle of hank notes. "These notes," he said, "you will find are the notes supposed to have been stolen from Mr. Turner in the Brighton train." The Inspector looked up sharply. "How did they come into your posses sion?" h Inquired. , "This gentleman is Mr. Turner's son He will tell you all about them." "Ob, you are Mr. Turner's son?" said the officer, turning to the terrified man. "Then I have good news for you. Your lather has recovered consciousness and has been able to speak." "He has spoken he has explained that he cave thee notes to me?" 'No; he has said very little, for he has not been able to talk, but we know about these notes.". "You know" "Yes. You need not be alarmed abont your possession of them. Messrs. Johnson '& Co., who I believe were at one time your employers, have called upon us to-dar, aud produced a letter from your father." "A letter from my father i" "A letter written the night before he left for Brighton. He informed them that he intended on the morrow to give you a sum of money, and tbat you would call upon them aud make tnem a payment; and he trusted, for the sake of their old friend ship, that they would receive yon kindly." "Tbank Godl" cried the son. "Then there will be no suspicion attached to me now." "No. "We might have suspected you, as tbe possession of the notes would have had to be accounted for, and your story might have been uncorroDorated; oat there is no fear of tbat now. To-night we have ar rested a man .who is the.undoubted culprit He is a well-known bad character. Ho must have seen those notes in your father's possession at the ticket office, and doubtless seeing your lather afterward in an empty carriage,he got in with thejlutention of rob bing him. He evidently did not see-your father part with the notes to you. He spent his time searching for tbo notes, and probably the train pulling up at Red Hill stopped him robbing your father of the few articles of value abont him, and he left tbe train at once and made his escape. "We traced him by the description, and arrested him to-night There is blood on his clothes, and be has been identified br the porter at Bed Hill. Leave ns your ad dress and we will communicate further par ticulars to-morrow." Outsidein the open air young Turner reeled and grasned John Alister's arm. The sudden revulsion of feeling had been almost too much for him. He was freed rom a load which had been upon him for months; free from this new terror which had come upon him like an avalanche. His employers had not betrayed him to the police. He insisted on Alister accompanying him to his home and helping to tell the good news to bis wife the good news thai he need have no further fear, and that his father was out of danger. Mr, Solomon Turner recovered his health andstrengthin time andappearedtogive evi dence against the would-be assassin, who was sentenced to a long term of imprisonment He freely forgave his son all past peccadil loes, and took his daughter-in-law to his heart and home. They are a happy, united family now, and one ot their most constant visitors is Mr. John Alister. But there is a tacit un derstanding between Mr. Aliiter and Mr. aqd Mrs. Turner, Jr., tbat no (mention shall ever he made of the 5 not? lent at Piccadilly Circus, which was the prologue to what 'looked at one time like being a, very terrible tragedy. THE END. A LawrenceTlllo Woman's Claim. A lady conneoted with the "BakerCirole" recently read a Ienethy paper before the. club in which she claimed that Camellia flour makes the best bread. She had tried all tbe other good brands, bnt had to admit tbat Camellia made the whitest and lightest loaf of any. Another good characteristic she said was tbat it was always so regular; that sho never had to vary he'r mode (o bak ing to meet ohanged conditions in the flour.
