This is a durable fabric, because the silk threads each way are preciselyalike, and are twisted the same way. This comes in the jet, black used for the deepest mourning, and costs, single width, from $1.75 to $2.50. yard. It is made up aver awaist Hoing and skirt of silk, and is trimmed with English: crape for first mourning, and is afterward lightened by pleatings of the grena- dine with crape pipings. The iron grenadines with small square meshes are also worn as deep mourning. Brocaded and satin-striped grena- dines are used asthe lightést mourning, called complimentary mourning, or else when the wear- er is about to leave off mourning dress altogether. The seaside grenadines of pure wool, or mixed with a little silk, are excellent for wearing at the’ seashore, as they do not get stringy nor cockle after being dampened; these are twenty- four inches wide, and when all wool they cost trom 75 cents to $1.35 a yard; they are more ex- pensive when silk is introduced. .Qneof the richest fabrice for summer wear is Brzantine—a dull, semi-transparent fabric fdr the deepest mourning attire, made of silk and wool mixed, and closely woven like barege; it is also twen- ty-four inches wide, and costs $1.to $L75a yard. Satin-striped Syzantine is shown, to be used in combination with the plain goods after the first plain mourning is left off. ‘The soft, pure wool bareges make graceful dresses, but are very warm; these can be bought, if double width, at least forty inches wide, yet without the objectionable fold down the’ midale of the goods;-they cost. $L15;. satin-striped bareges are used for overdresses and for pleated flounces; these are $1.50 a yard, and are only twenty-four inches wide. R - SUMMER WOOLEKS FOR MOURNING. ~Bayonaize, a very fine quality of all-wool French bunting, is used by the best modistes for. nice light woolen dresses, and also. for shawls; the surface is as smooth as that of spun silk grenadine, and the weight is as light It is of jet black bue that remains intact, and is excel- lent for the seaside, as dampness does not al- fect it. It costs, according to its varied width, from 65 cents to $2.25 a yard; it is also shown two yards wide for shawls, $3.50 to $4 a yara. A Jees expensite fapric is the loosely woven beize de sante, with soft flannel finish; this is forty-five inches wide at 85 centsa yard. Hen- tietta cloth, like very fine cashmere, is the standard fabric fordeep mourning dresses all the year round, and has quite taken the plae. of bombazine, except’ with @ few conservative ladies wno ‘will not give up bombazine, although it’ is harsh to the touch, and does not alway» retain its color. What is called camel’s-hair cashmere is still softer than the fipest Henrietta clovb, and more closely twilled than drap d’ete; this will be used in the fall and as winter dresses. It costs $3.25 a yard. Another.fabric for fall’ dresses is Milanese, which resembies bombazine, but has more body, and more certain color and durabili- ty; its prices range from $1.50to $2.75. Tamike cloth, like closely-woven deluine, is excellent for wearing all the year, and costs from 60 cents up. Crape cloths make niceshort suits and handsome traveling dresses. For general wear and fortraveling dresses are the French suitings of mixed silk and wool, with stripes of five or six white threads at intervals; these are $1.85 to $2.25. BONNETS AND VEILS, The bonnet for deep mourning is of English crape, doubled and laid smouthly on black sutk. This is worn in winter and summer alike. Whi face trimming'is only wors- by widows and old ladies, and in many cases the widow's ruche is being abandoned because it is conspicuous. A. ‘band of black crape is ased inside ‘the und there is'a slicht. trimming on top of the bonnet outside to hold the veil in shape; other- Wise the veil is the only trimming. ‘I'he widow's veil of crape, three and a half yards long, is thrown over the bonnet, and fastened on each side by crape-vovered pins; it hangs to the knees in front, where it has a hem ball a yard wide; in the back the hem is only half this width, and ‘hangs to the waist. Sometimes this veil is madé donble its entire Ienzth—a most unwholesome fashion. For other ladies in deep mourning the veil is now often arranged on the tonuet tohang behind instead of being worn over the face. Sometimes this is a yard long, and is pleated by one corner on the left side of the bonnet. inak- ing i. hangin along poiut. For. light. mourn- ing, alter crape veils are Jaid aside, avy black net—that which is double twisted—is used for a Yeil a yard long, and is bordered all around with crape four inches wide. For complimentary mourning the dull, lustreless Breton Jace is Iuid in pleatings, and made to form the entire bon- net. Some jet beads are added, such as four or five rows on the brim and inside it. The Marie Stuart bonnet with a pointea front 1s a favorite shape for mourning. Young ladies wear poke- bonnets, with the brim far above the forehcad. Chip- bonnets with Alsatian bows of crape are also liked by young ladies, and there are others trimmed with shirred China crape edged with Breton lace; the latter trimming {s also seen on chip round hats, with crape mixed in the bows. = LINGERIE AND GLOVES. ite is more used than black -sroutd the neck and wrists. Ladies who wear the heaviest styles in mourning leave off black around the neck at the end of three months. Lise pleat- ings of black are worn at first; then, perhaps, white and dlack are worn together; and then white pleatings are. used, either of lisse or or- gandy muslin doubled, und pleated -as fine as if crimped. There are also small collars and cuffs of doubled white organdy that are neat aud be- coming. After these, linen collars and cuffs are resumed, jabots of black crepe lisse are Worn at the throat, though a brooch of massive onyx in & long bar is enough without a cravat bow. White lisse jabots and those of footing are next worn; Jace frills are not used as long as there is any attempt at wearing mourning, unless it is the lightest “complimentary” mourning. Asset of the rare and costly black pearls is the richest jewelry admissible in mourning. “The watch~ chain is an onyx or jet chatelaine, or eise a bar chain to Dass through a’ button-hole. Gold chains and al} Gold jewelry are laid aside. If it ‘cambric, with a2 narrow bem that is bem-s tense holdin: on. bonnet,, is thought diamond ear-rings must be worn in order to protect them. they are incloséd ins ballot “black ‘enamel that bides them entirely. White pocket-handkerehiofs of the sheert eanee, are now used in the aeepest mourning in prefer- ence to those with black borders. Long-wrist gloves of undressed sid are chosen. ‘there are also kid-finished gloves of silk and of lisle-thread, fastened by many buttons; these are liked for summer use. : SOCIETY TOPICS. A Chicago manufacturer has orders for 1,600 gallons of ice-cream to be furnished on the “Glorious Fourth.” A Washington correspondent, who knows not fear, says that the ladies belonging to the riding clubs of the Capital know how to dress better than how to ride, and that the general effect which they give when in the saddle is that of in- Ladies desiring bargains—and what lady does not appreciate one?—can find, for the present week, precisely what they want at the retail de- partment of W.

Snot White, and Schmitt; three, Dra. Hi wis, ‘and Bridge, admitting the possibility of such. transmission, think. the danger to be very. small; two, Drs. Lyman. and Tooker, do not be- lieve in the theory of such transmission; and one, Dr. Green, -treats only the practical issues and ex- presses no opinionson the theoretical pointa. He has peen City Physician of Boston for ten years, He says: -*{ have never known an instance where there were any grounds’ for belicving toat con- tagious diseases were carried by books in circula- tion from the Public Library. Throughuut the year 1872, a severe, epidemic of small-pox nre- vailed in this city, and it was my official duty tosce every patient, and to trace, if possible, the history of the case. Inno instance was J able to conaect the infection with the use'of gooks from the Pablic Library. At that time I was one of the Trustees of tha t inetitution, and took a particular interest in the matter, as the same question had been raised here.” “t Dr. Johnson says: ‘*As a matter of fact, itis not very. likely. that persons afflicted with meagles, scariet-fever, or small-pox will use or handle books,.as the roome of such patients are usually darkened. ‘The probability, therefore. of props- gation, by auch meuns is not great, —in fact, is quite small.” v i Dr. "Plunket, of Tennessee, instances a‘case to show that contagious diseases may be transmitted byabook. Ten years ago he had a patient with amall-pox which he concluded wus communicated by a book borrowed from a family which had re- cently had the disease. fae #Dr. Baker, of Michigan, refers to a case in the Michigan Health Reports‘were scarlet fever was” tranemitted from one family to another by a book; aud ato toacase where it was transmittec by a etter, ‘Dr. Dg Wolf, Health Comminsioner of Chicago has never deen able to trace any case of scariet- fever or small-pox to tooke as carriers of the con- tagion; but.thipks such .ransmission is possible, basing his opinion on. the ‘medical books and the statements of other physicians, 5 ‘Dr. Tooker, of tais city. says: i**Z am of the opinion that the good work of the Public Library negd not stop, nor be interfered with, through fear of its spreading .any of the infections diseacos. The poswibility or the probability of its doing so is 80 extremely smali as to be practically nil." _ Dr, Lyman, of this city,-treais the- whole sab- ject in a numorous and satirical manner, implying that hg has no apprehension of danger’ from this cause. ; 5 Dr. Davis, of this city, siys:' **No facts have ever come under my ‘observation creating even a suspicion that any case of contagious or infections disease had been propagated. by'using books from 2 circulating library. . Unless a book should be ac- tually handled by a persongffected with small pox, #0 as to et more or lexs of the virus on the book, Ido not think there would be any danger from the: use of such libranes.. Fram the nature of the circumatunces, euch a case is not likely to happen." Dr. White, of New Orleans, 22 “*I know of no facts demonstrating the propagation by books of a library of contagious diseases. It would probabty only occur in the cases of digease such us small-pox, where the poison is known to be exceed- ingly energetic and tenactous of life.” Drs. De Wolf, Jobnson,.. Billings, Snow, and Schmitt recommend that books which have been in houses having ‘contagious: diseases be disinfected before they are replaced: upon the shelves, * Prof. Louis Thomas, in :a:paper on Scarlatina in Ziemssen's Cyclopedia of, Practical Medicine, says: .°' The cauge of scarlatina is a peculiar sub- stance which is transferable from the patient to the unaffected individual... The shortest contact with the contagious atmosphere of the alck-room may suffice tor the infection: The view that scar-. jutina can be transmitted to unaffected: individuals: through the medium of. subgtances which have re-- mained in-the morbid atmosphere 1s indisputaply proved by numerous examples," - ‘The Mbrariang, who are not medical experts, in- dulge in no theories or spegniations, but treat the practical question whether,books circulating from their libraries do actually transmit contagious dis- eases. . Mr. Winsor, for ten years Librarian of the Bostow. Public Library, has never Ruown or heard of such an instance of transinigsion of diseases through books circulating from a library. The pers inost likely to contract diseases are. the employes of the Library, who are’ constantly handlinz ’ the circulating books. During bis connection with the Boston Library.he, has had hundred of employes handling thexe books, and has never known a case of contagious dieease among them, If there bea danger in using and handling library books, nia cx-; verience warrants him in suyig that iis inappre- ciable. During the small-pox epidemic in Boston a few years ago, he, in consultation with the Board of Health, took such precautions as were practica- ble to prevent books from going into infected houses, and being returned’ from them directly to the shelves, . He says: **Itis to my mind exceed- ingly questionable whether: any contagion of dis- esse was prevented.’ It may have been a wise thing to allay apprehension ‘andprotect the Library from aspersion. © Mr. Peoples, -Livrarian of the: New York Mer- cantile Library, enya he has.never been able to ob- tain any facts bearmg on the ‘sudject of inquiry, and bas neard of no case of sickness caused by. bandling the books of his library. ‘The subject has been talked about by the Directors, ‘and they have beard of their books being tn hospitals and other laces where infectious diseases existed. Such oks he has takea the precaution to’ disinfect be- fore they were replaced in the Hbrary. Mr. Edmunds, Librarian of the Philadelphia Mercantile Library, says: ‘Touching the spread of diseases through the cirealation of library books,‘ Ihave heard rothing said’in thia city, and I an sure there hag been no. general consideration of the question. My attention was<alled to 1t some time ago when the small-pox was prevailing 1m this city. As noone of’ our twenty. assistants daring those months took the digedse, and as_ we heard of no inétance of the tranemiasion of it, there would weem to be little cause for anxiety. © Still,..1 think it would be.welltorefuse to ullaw books to go to houses in which there was any so-called contagious diseases.” ae E is ‘Mr.. Haetz, . Librarian of the Milwaukee Public |: Library, says: **I am. nog. aware of a single in, stauce where it wis clatmed, “or intimated that th | premines — books of ourLibrary had been 4 Hb! discasa im: the sommanitys nor do.E-know- that such a casc has ever occurred anywhere. ‘the question was once sugested at 2 mécting of the Board, but nv action was-taken in the matter. AS A matter of precuution, however, he reqacsted the Commijesioner of {{eulth to report to the Library allcases of contagious: diseases, and this report hus been regularly inade, which bas enabled him to withhold books from families where euch dis- eascs prevailed. > The Committee having carefully considered the evidence which bas come before: them,: are of the opinion that, while there isa Urea git’ that con- taglous diseases may‘be. transmitted by books cir- cnlating -from ‘the’ Public -Library,—ns 8 few isolated instances of such transmiesion by. books, letters, sud other Jike substances bave been report~ ed,—the reat danger of disease from this caaye is verv small,—or, a one of-ourcorrespondents #ays, ‘*inappreciable, and another. {) nil.” ‘4 . They think, however, that the possible danger, even if it be small. should be‘guarded ezainst by such provisions ss are prudent and practicable; and they recommend to this Board that they adopt such regulations as havo been suggested by Dr. De Wolf, the Health Commissioner of the city; thatne farnish to the Library daily o Het of the infected. with contapiouy diseases- and their residents; tbat no books be loaned 'to such houses until they are reported free from contagion by the Health Oilice; and that all books returned - from such houses during this period be disinfected before they are places on the shelves of the Library. . ge? “F.C.
