¥ anEAtEST OF FEMALE PAINTERS.
“*At Castle Thomery, near Fontaine-

os
bleau, France, where Rosa Boaheur has
her farm, are horses and cows of many
breeds, herds of sheep and goats, num-
bers of rabbits and poultry, a pair of
lions, and several very rare small ani-
mals. All these are uszd as studies for
the artist. Bhe lives very simply, her
home plainly furnished, except for choice
pictures, and her table supplied chiefly
with such food as the peasants eat. ’ She
is now seventy years old, but is still
vigorous, and paints out of doors attired
usually in a rather short black dress cov-
ered almost entirely by a large apron,
coarse shoes, and weather-beaten straw
hat.—Boston Transcript. :
NATURAL FLOWERS FOR TRIMMINGS.
‘A decidedly original, and, it must be
confessed, expensive, fashion i is that of
: trimming evening gowns with natural
flowers. An exquisite gown of rose chif-
fon over silk was shownat a New York
modiste’s, ' The bottom of the skirt was
finished with a full wreath of mignonette
and fairy blush roses. The same garni-
ture bordered the low cut bodice and
sleeves, and the wearer of this poetic
gown, who is ‘a charming brunette de-
butante, was to encircle her dark hair
with a small wreath of roses. Cornflow-
ers or bluets, narcissus, cowslips, mar-
guerites and the old-fashioned button
.- roses are in demand for this new trim-
ming. Marguerités are specially appro-
priate, as they retain their freshness for
a long time, A gown of yellow tulle is
lavishly decorated with ¢‘the black-eyed
Susans” or the ox-eyed daisies.—Once-
A-Week.

EXTERMINATING SMALL FOWL.
"Despite the laudable endeavors of the
Society for the Protection of Birds, the
harpy Fashion appears still, and even in.
creasingly, to make endless holocausts
of small fowl for the furnishing forth of
¢‘feather trimmings” for the fair sex.
We are told that to obtain the delicate
and beautiful spiral plume called the
$‘Osprey,” the old birds ‘‘are killed off
in scores, while employed in feeding
their young, who are left tb starve to
death in their nests by hundreds.”
Their dying cries are described as
“‘heart-rending.” But they evidently do
not rend the hearts of our fashionable
ladies, orinduce them to rend their much-
beplumed garments. Thirty thousand
black partridges_ have been killed in cer-
tain Indian provifices1n a few days’ time
to supply the European demand for their
skins. One dealer in London is said to
"have received, as = single consignment,
82,000 dead humming-birds, 80,000
aquatic birds, and 800,000 pairs of wings.
We are told, too, that often ‘after the
birds are shot down, the wings are
wrenched off during life and the man-
gled bird is left to die slowly of wounds,
thirst and starvation.’’— London Punch,
SUMMER MILLINERY.
Seasonable millinory has the merit of
beng snug ‘and: trim-looking, and of
being selected with an eye to becoming-
ness,
The artistic in this department is'more
carefully studied at present than hereto-
. fore. It is not necessarily a fact that be-
cause a bonnet is becoming it is either
pretty or picturesque. Some bonnets
which are very ugly in themselves are
specially becoming to certain faces. It
is the work of the artist to combine all
the good points and turn out attractive-
‘looking, appropriate and really elegant
creations.
‘While flowers are, and always should
be, the favorite gurniture for summer
.millinery, the finest imported models:
show a few trimmings of ostrich-tips and
a few quill feathers. Passementerie,
plaited lace, puffings, fancy braid and
made-up materials either of ribbon, silk,
velvet or fancy fabrics, are lavishly used.
Btraw, chip and fancy braids are much
liked; leghorns were never more popu-
lar; and hats with crowns of fine straw
and i brims of lace braid are in very gen-
eral demand for picturesque hats for
young ladies.
There is great variety in the styles of
* tricaming bats. The more simple have
large bows of ribbon, witha scarf around
the crown, Many of them have no other
garniture:
A charming hat of lace braid has a
bow and scarf of shaded Kronstadt green
tibbon, with a cluster of green velvet
roses. A hat with medium low crown
wd rolled-up brim has a gauze scarf,
with three small ostrich tips’ at one,
the new importations have
rowns and wide brims, witha
plain or closely folded band around the

with olf, The flowers with long
stalks droop over the hair.
Sailor hats are in very general use for
ordinary wear, and for girls are almost |
universally liked.
Bonnets are much smaller than hereto-
fore, some of the importation recalling
the old-time joke of the postage stamp
with ribbons. One bonnet is made of
two wings, covered with fine jet, the
points of the wings meeting at the top,
and between them is setanaigrettespray
Strings of velvet rib.
box, attached at the back, tie at one
side.
Another small bonnet ig of very finely
crimped crepe lisse,set in a ruffle around
the brim. ' The top of the bonnet is flat,
and the gathered edge of the crepe is
drawn into a very close center. From
this are sprays of flowers and two or
three loops of ribbon, and from this | -
point the strings also are attached. Un-
der the ‘brim is a very full ruching of
plaited lace.
A novelty bonnet is made of a box
plaiting of cream-colored velvet edged
with jet beads. This plaiting is so ar-
ranged that one edge of it forms fhe
brim, the otner edge stands upright in
crown shape. From the back of this
are Prince of Wales feathers and strings
which fasten under the chin.
Girls wear large flat hats trimmed
with flowers, ribbons or scarf of tulle,
mull or other thin material. | =
FASHION NOTES
Capoles and toques grow smaller and
smaller. /
Tom Thumb rosettes are worn on
small hats. ;
Wide moire ribbons are worn as
sashes with black rouad hats.
Scotch plaid bows in twill silk are
very stylish for morning wear.
Colored ribbons jeweled with tiny
stones are beautiful, but costly.
Broad revers, accompanied by broad
waistbands and sashes, are greatly in
favor. :
Veils for large hats are very long and
wide, and are draped iato fesioons
-around the brim.
The introduction: of draped skirts is
only a matter of time. Accordion plaits
and double skirts are soon to be revived,
Very pretty enameled - buckles, tor
wearing with cotton gowns, match the
ribbon “used for the belt, and ate finished
with silver.
Square ivory handles, with incised
lines for ornaments, are attached to the
tea and coffeepots in some of the new
silver services.
Bhaded and colored oats, dyed te
match dresses, are worn on bonnets,
Green barley and. wheat ears en aigrette
are pretty upon cclored straw hats.
Yellow Irish linen lace, with tine ap-
plique bands to match, are much used ta |
trim delicate summer gowns of organdie,
zephyr, batiste, French gingham and
chambray.’
Lace buas are still very much admired.
The lace is gathered full as usual in a
jabot, and the long ends are finished
with bows of long loops of pink or white
baby ribbon.
The least costly dresses for afternoon
and for best wear are of the pretty wool
challies that come in flowered designs,
in vine stripes, and tiny dots like those
of India silks.
The long Spanish: lace scarf has re-
turned to favor again, and is wound pic-
turesquely about “the throat twice, the
ends reaching nearly to the bottom of
the dress in front.
Ladies are beginning to wear much
jewelry iu the street again, in the form
of elaborate and conspicuous bonnet
pins, veil pins, clasps, and a great va-
riety of pins on the bodice.
Bright-red outdoor garments with:
waterfalls of lace at the back are very
English. Some are of semi-jacket form.
A new kind has full bishop's sleeves
gathered in a'band of jet.
There is a return to white and cream
laces for the throat and sleeves of bodices
for afternoon wear as well as for even-
ing. Even with high corsages, many
lace bibs and jabots are seen.
Gay Russian‘blouses for wearing with
lazers- and skirts come in stripes of
three colors four inches wide, joined
with black crewel cross stitches snd em-
broidered in a cross stitch pattern.
Silk crepes, deeply crinkled like those
of wool, Oriental foulards and foulards
with bright chintz figures, white satin
striped India silks, with fruit or ball
patteras, are among the novelties io
summer materials.
Scotch ginghams come in guarter-inch
stripes of lovely contrasting colors—
stem green, lilac and white together; or
yellow, mauve and white; rose pink with
leaf green and a soft cream tint; or pale
blue with yellow and clear white.
Sateen lining, white or colored, is
used in crepon bell skirts by those who
consider silk too costly. Toe challi
