| NEW YORK FASHIONS. | H Designs For Costumes That Have Be- || jg come Popular in NEW YORK CITY (Special).—The dressmakers, the tailors, furriers and milliners are enjoying daily confer ences with their clients, and the worn >^S»? THE QTJYMFIA. sn are rapidly coming forth in smart, fresh fineries. One of their first responsibilities was to provide themselves with the proper sort of walking k hat, and the I MODEL FOR A CLOTH GOWN. struggle has been to arrive at a com promise between the article that would appear advantageously on the street and yet mark a decided departure from the hard quill and crown band habit of last season. V'A single plume from the old gray gooVe's tail, stuck inde pendently through the crown of a slouch felt, is not the approved idea now. A green, or gray, or brown felt with a bent-edge brim and a stiff "bowler" crown seems to be the tri umphant one of many shapes and as might be expected it has been desig nated patriotically by the name of Ad miral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia. There is nothing nautical about the "Olympia." It is wound about the base of its brim with a scarf of dark liberty silk and this comes to a loose knot in front, in the folds of which the quill ends of two long, soft composite plumes are made fast. Of well-dyed barnyard fowl feathers these plumes are made, mottled white down the cen ter, and they are so arranged as to droop softly to one side. Into the lib erty silk knot a fancy strass pin is in troduced, and this is a happy contrast to the unbecoming cowboyish headgear that that adopted it during the summer should remember with a blush. A great many patronesses of the Olympia wear the easy-fitting hat on hair dressed low at the back of the head and a strap of elastic, not skewer pins, is used to keep the felt in its place. Th© Evtrj-Day Gown. The shops are filled with the new dress goods, and what to buy and how to have it made is the absorbing topic with the sunbrown shoppers. For the every-day gown which must Btand hard wear, such as is illustrated in the large engraving, the reversible Harris tweeds are highly recommend ed. The beßt quality comes fifty-six inches wide and costs $2.75 a yard. It is sold in all the new attractive shades, with a real Scottish clan plaid for the reverse side of the oloth. When these double-faoed tweeds are used for a skirt and coat cos'.nra?, no lining is required and the lapels, cuffs and collar of the coat are made of the plaid. Camel's hair cheviot, is extremely fashionable this year. It can be found in dashing plaids, and in indistinct plaids of mingled dull artistic colors. Then there are attractive half-inch check cheviots and these crossed with narrow stripes. Graphite gray and the browns and blues are usually the foundation shades of these cheviots and the lines which run through them are generally automobile red, vivid green, orange yellow and beige. The Long: Ulster. A little later on and we will be criti cising the usefulness and beauty of the long-skirted ulster that fits the body close and has a trifle of fullness in the rear, where a strap spans the base of the spine and is glorified by a large silver buckle. Long cloth ulsters in the colder weather will be used with capelets of bear's fur that are short on the shoulders, high in the collar, but almost reaching the feet, in front in two stole ends. The opera mantles, so far as they have allowed their charms to be viewed, are beautiful in the extreme. They are long, of course, carry large lace hoods a la Bretonne made of heavy lace lined with colored silk muslin, and in order to gain a de sired width at the shoulders the silk, satin or damask skirts of the coat hang from wide yokes of lace over satin and I this yoke is edged by a deep bertha frill. One of the most commendable of the new wraps in fur is a cape col lar having broad ends falling to or be low the Waist line and made of the j THE SEW CLSTEB. tails of brown bear, so called by fur* riers who would like all animals to recess symmetrical salable tails. HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES. Outfit for the Ironing; Table. A convenient little outfit for the ironing table is a small board covered at one end with asbff-itos,under a wire netting, and having at the other a loose pocket, in which was is placed, and on which the iron is rubbed. With these go the asbestos iron holders. nil*Hi-UK Sweeping. To sweep a sickroom or any room without choking the occupants or yourself with dust is a very simple and a good thing to know. Get a bucket of hot water, add ammonia for carpets aud salt for matting,dip broom in, shake well and Hwoejj. Wash broom constantly iu the water. If bed cannot be moved turn the broom 011 it.s side, rubbing hard back and forth. All the dust is taken up by the wet broom and then washed off into the pai!. The amount of real estate found iu the bottom of the pail will astonish one and also delight, as the troublesome and patience, wearing dusting is done away with. Arrangement of Flowers. Here are five golden rules which should be observe! by those who often arrange flowers. I'se plenty of foliage. Put your flowers iu very lightly. Use artistic glasses. Do not use more than two or at most three, different kinds of flowers in one decoration. Arrange your col i ors to form a bold contrast, or, better | still, a soft harmony. The aim of the I decorator should be to show oft' the | flowers—not the that contain ! t'lem; therefore the simpler ones nrc j far preferable to even the most e!ab- I orate. Glasses for a dinner table i should be either white, a delicate j shade of green, brown or roso color, ■ according to the flowers arranged in I them. Hiilpr for tho Care of Ilonse T.inen. The care of the house linen is fre | queutly the source of much worry to ! the mistress. With regard to storing linen, it should be remembered that a dry cupboard is the first nud greatest requisite. Also, that nothing should be put away until it is thoroughly dry an I well aired, so that every vestige of moisture has disapi eared. Noth- \ | ing collects dampness quite as quickly : I as linen. Should the lin 011 show signs ! | of turning yellow wring out in luke warm sou]) aud water, theu dry aud store again. Always mend linen at the first sign ; of a slit or ravel. Washing it after it j has started to tear will only iucrease j the slit aud make it more difficult to repair. Ordinary fruit stains can be ro- , moved from table linen by meaus of a I few drops of thick sour milk. This ' should be left on for several houis, i after which wash tho spot in luke- | i warm water. ! ltenovHiinj; Worn-out Mntprinln, Chiffon can be made to look like new by being carefully steamed, but | it must first be very evenly pinned ! upon a box-lid, length by length, to i get the desired result. It takes time i to pin and unpin and pin again, but ; ! unless this is done the edge will be j wavy and uneven. If it is to be used j iu a way that the edge will not show, j ' then a quicker method to ae -omplish j the result is to hold it stretched tight- i Ily between the hands. Crepe is oven j ! more satisfactory when renovated in j this manner, the steam giving it the j j stiffness of new material, aud also j , taking out all the dirt and dust. A : j veil carefully done in this way will leave nothing to be desired. Velvet to be well steamed must be done by two persons, one to hold it well and firmly over the steam, while the other brushes vigorously the way of the nap with a whisk broom. Don't be • afraid to brush too hard, for the ob ject is to raise the pile which has boen flattened by use. Rec pel# Wheat Fritters—Beat three eggs, ad 1 to them one and one-half cupfuls of milk, Hour to make a batter stiffer than for batter cakes. Heat in four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Drop into hot lard aud fry as for doughnuts. Creamed Fish—Remove the bones and skin from cold boiled fish and put them into a stewpau with a pint of milk, a blade of mace and a slice of ouion. Let it boil for twenty minutes, then drain, return to the fire and thicken with a tablespoonful of flour rubbed smooth iu one tablespoonful of butter. Put a pint of the fish into a Vjuttered baki:ig dish, pour the sauce over it,cover with breadcrumbs, add a few lumps of butter and bako uutil a nice brown. Orange Soup—Add to one pint of orange juice one pint of water; bring to the boiling point; add oue table spoonful of arrowroot dissolved in one tablespoonful of ice water; cook fo one minute and strain; add four tab c spoonfuls of urauulated sugar; ft until sugar is dissolved and put iu ice chest to cool.

Fl(f» Goto Court. An English solicitor was defending a fruit broker in an action brought foj tne recovery of SIOO, the price pai<? for a consignment of figs which the plaintiff declared to be unfit for human food The defense alleged that al though moderately discolored by salt water, as the plaintiff knew when ho bought them, the figs were perfectly wholesome. The figs were in cour . The plaintiff, a coster, who con ducted his own case, was skilfully cross-examined. The trial was ob viously going against him, and once or twice he retorted so hotly that the Judge threatened to commit him for contempt. At length the coster grew desperate, aud turning to the opposing counsel, hoarse and perspiring, he said; "Look here, guvnor, you say tliera figs are good to eat and I say they ain't. That's all there is between us, ain't it? Now, s'elp me, if you'll eat two of them figs and you ain't sick immediately afterward, I'll lose my case." The Judge at once saw the propriety of this suggestion and asked the law yer what he proposed to do. "Your Honor is trying this case, not I," was the reply. "No! No! The offer is made to you," said the Judge. A hurried consultation took place. Counsel suggested that it was the so licitor's duty to submit to the experi ment. Tho solicitor refused. The broker himself was then asked if he would risk it. "What will happen tome if I don't?" said he. "You'll lose the case," replied both his legal advisers. "Then," said he, hurriedly, "lose i the case, lose the case." And so ho did.—Youth's Companion. EsllngiiUliml. Tt was a tram car and he was a fear fully aud wonderfully got-up masher. Over his "pince-nez" he eyed the other passengers haughtily, and they in turn looked at him with the amused, in dulgent smile with which tho public usually regard the genius. Presently j a soldier of tho Scaforth Highlanders entered aud took his seat beside the i masher. A stalwart, soldierly look ing fellow, ho soon became the cjno sure of all eyes. The masher looked I at him for a moment, then sidiug up to him he said condescendingly: "I say—er —Mr. Soldier, I've got | er a brother who is a soldier, don't ! you know?" I "Is that a fact?" said the soldier, j taking a comprehensive look at his questioner, "weel, that's kinna queer tae. Ye see, I've got a brither who's ' a confounded idiot, so we're aboot I I even, I'm thinkiu'." For a moment the dude looked as if ; he had swallowed something that dis | agreed with him, then he sauk back ! in his seat aud thought it over for the j remainder of the journey.—London I Spare Moments. Wily He Stays Slnijlo, Possibly the best-known unmarried | I man of letters to-day is Heury James, j i the novelist. Ho maintains stoutly ( , that tho artist, no matter what the 1 medium of his expression, should re- I main single, on the grouud that tho ' i petty cares aud carpings of domestic j life tend to wear on delicately adjust- , 1 ed nerves and exhaust the mental fiber : j of genius, whether its possessor be a | painter of pictures, a worker in wofds, ! a modeler of statues, a composer of , music, a singer or one who amuses i I the people from the stage. There be j some, undoubtedly, who will surmise j from this that Mr. James has been unfortunate in the choice of his uu- 1 married friends, but others, perhaps, j will agree with him fully. His I bachelor apartments in London are said to be exquisite in furnishings and appointments, and, despite his cyuio i3in, the novelist is not disliked by women, nor is he a hater of tho sex.— Atlanta Constitution.

COPYRIGHT 1830 BY THE PaCCTEfI * CAMBLC CO. CINCINNATI Starting a Cocoanut Grove. It is uot difficult to start a cocoauut grove in Porto Rico. The only things needed are the laud aud the nuts. The nuts are laid upon the top of the j grouud, a few iuches apart. The air ! there is very moist, and after a short , time each uut seuds out a sprout from ! one of the little eyes at its ends. Tho j sprout grows up into the air, aud at the same time a root shoots out of its base down into the ground. Withiu a few months the sprout has growu as high as a table. The root is now broken off and the sprout and nut are planted where the tree is to stand, j The nut is buried about six inches in the earth, the sprout remainiug above. '■ , The earth is now pressed tightly down j over the nut, aud the plautiug is j done. The trees there have been set out j irregularly. They should be planted \ about fifteen feet apart, or just about ! as far as the trees of our peach orch j ards. This will giye 193 trees per acre. They begin to bear at live j years, and need practically no culti vation. Grass cau be sown in a co ! coanut orchard and cattle pastured upon it. Such an orchard in full j bearing would produce, with the pres . eut facilities for shipment, 3193 per '• acre, with no other labor than the I gathering and shipping of the fruit. ( The coeoanuts ripen all the year found. They drop off themselves when ripe, aud the men go daily from ; tree to tree to pick up the nuts. Each I nut has a thick green husk upon it. j This is torn off, aud the nuts then look as we see them in ou" stores.— Frank G. Carpenter, in the Washing j ton Star. PunUliliic: a Shyster.

Just as the attorney I was climbing over the rails of the dock into the court his lordship called out: "Jailor, one of your prisouers is escaping. Put him back." Back tho attorney was thrust, and the following colloquy ensned: "My lord, there is a mistake here. I am an attorney." "I am very sorry, indeed," said ; Lord Norbury, "to see one of your profession in the dock." j "But, my lord, lam innocent." "Yes, they all say that," was tlie ! judge's reply. "A jury of your own fellow countrymen must settle it." "But, my lord," exclaimed the now desperata man, "there is no indict ment against me." "Theu," said his lordship, "yon will be put back, and if no oue ap pears to prosecute, you will bo dis charged by public proclamation at the end of the assizes." Lookatyourtongue!
