They look too old. A bride is apt to look older than she is in any case,the conventional dress being a very trying ‘one, unless carefully selected and ar- ranged, and sometimes decidedly unbecoming houlder. tothe groom, At a lovely lina net ‘The most elegant dresses made for brides re- | cently have been of very thick and | satin, ivory tinted and trimmea with duehesse lace. Round-point lace ist and never suitable for brides, or ind atall by ladies under forty.’ Duchesse lace is lighter, more delicate and retains its color well. The duchesse lace used on one ot the bride’s dresses reterred to was made in the famous ed- elweiss pattern. It was very wide, was flounced and draped across the front. jaboted at the sides and formed a full drapery for the low, deeply pointed bodice. The majority of the low bodles are cut down in deep poluts back and front, and lace draped upon them in such a way as to form the sleeves. Sometimes the shouiders are | adorned with a tuft of feathers, sometimes with a spray or shower of blossoms, but In the latter case the flower decoration ‘Is repeated upon the small tablier apron of the skirt. It is SS probable that the new French faille will ind favor for the dresses of brides in the imme- diate future, its soft, beautiful finish combining mang of the best qualities of satin and the oid faille. It was very effectively used for the ridesmaids’ dresses at a recent fashionable wedding, the rich surface making a charming background for exquisite embroidery. Brides’ dresses are usually as much alike as two peas. There ts in deed little choice in the ortho- dox white satin and lace or tuile. except that enforced by the financial necessities of the case. More latitude ought to be allowed to brides- maids, but American ladies do not follow the English fashion fa regard tothe admission of color into bridesmaids’ costumes, excepting in the way of flowers. An exception, however, Was Observed [sped Tats bridesmaids wear- ing ecru satin merveilleux, the new tint, cover- ed with cream lace upon the front of the skirt for two-thirds its depth. The maid ot honor wore apricot satin, with embroidery of silk and seed. Other very pretty and new all- white bridesmaids dresses have remarked, which consisted of bodices of white satin and skirts of ornamented with a beauti- fal of arrasene (chenille sewed on) with very narrow ribbon for floral effects.

A TANDSOM | newsp | the no’ AVERAGE OUTFIT. A correspondent asks what would be consid- da handsome average outfit for a girl whose 1 fs not wealthy, but “well-to-do.” Ideas of wealth are of cow comparative. A many millionaire is credited with saying that a man | worth £500,000 is as well off as is it he were rich, and to seme this amount would certainly ppeer like wealth. But an outfit recently pro- | vided fora New York girl whose father is a | well-to-do business man, though not consid- ered rich, will, perhaps, serve to answer the in- lq woof the features of it were the | white duchesse and wide black thread lace lav- hed ona dinner dress of binck French faille od the bridal dress of white satin.

There ‘—WHAT TO WEAR, good deal of inquiry in regard to a | suitable traveling dress in which to make a trip | | to the New Orleans Exposition and the proper to wear while there. And dirst it may be lito remind the interested reader that ‘tors who go fora week or so simply to see sition are not expected to have much time for social life or gayeties and should not attempt to vie with their entertainers, if they stiould be so fortunate as tobe entertained pri- ately, in variety or elegance of costume. The New Orleans ladies have the credit of much beautitul and picturesque dressing. They are not so conventional as inthe northern, nor so practical perhaps asin the eastern cities, al- though they have made a great success of such | special enterprises as they have undertaken for the benefit of their own "sex in recent vears— the Woman's chanye, torexample, But the | object of lady visitors will be to see, not to make | adisplay on their ewn account, and therefore the more quiet and unobtrusive their dress is | the better. |, Of course it should not be too heavy. A traveling dress of fine cloth or soft wool, sim- ply made, with straight skirt pleated and braided if you choose, real vest and jacket, is the best. with nothmg hanging or that is likely to catch or become an obstacle—and no drapery to wrinkle or come apart. The | jacket and’ vest are advised because they are convenient in form and give an opportunity for | pockets—vest pockets tor change and watch, and inside jacket pockets for handkerchief and fiat pocketbook. The inside pocget of the hand- ag should be reserved for tickets and the bag itself for a night dress, a comb and brush, tooth brush, asmall flask of bay rum, a tiny jar or vaseline, a little box of hygienic powder, and a few well-worn linen handkerchiefs for dust and | the application of the bay rum atoresaid. The hat may be felt or a bonnet, or hat and muft may be made nratching the dress. Shoulda garment be needed matching the sult, a street jacket. or jersey redingote, or Newmarket coat, | will either of them be suitable and leave the | hands free. which Is very important in traveling | and_ sight-seeing, and to tacilitate which the |muif must be suspended by a cord from the | neck. Starting from Chicago or New York, or any western, northern or eastern point, a'de- uree of cold must be provided for which will not | be experienced in New Orleans itself. and tor | this there 1s nothing so good as an oid fur-lined cloak, which can be put up in a strap and laid away till needed on the return trip. Two dresses anda cashmere morning gown are all that are needed in the way of wardrobe for a two weeks stay. The second dress should ck, with jetted trimmings and lace; with electric bead trimming; or ome dark shade—with veivet basque or combi- ation of pretty brocade. Either of these will answer all purposes for hotel dinners and such invitations as will be likely tobe given, unless | provision must be made for entertainments of more importance, and then a black lace dress, with fine Jet, over satin merveilleux is always handsome and permanentiy usetul. Let no woman who goes to New Orieans fall | of finding the memorial which has been erected | to the memory of Margaret Haughery, one ot three women in the United States to whose memory statues have been erected. Margaret Haughery was an Irishwoman. She never owned a silk dress or a pair of kid gloves, but she made a large fortune bya bakery famous for | the excellence of its bread all over the city, and with the money she made she founded and | built up an orphan asylum which the wealth she left endows and sustains. It is a little remark- able that of the three statues raised to women in this country—all within the present year— one js to an Enylish woman, Harriet Martineau; another to an Irish woman (same initials re- American, Mrs. Julia A. versed), and one to sn Tevis, of Sheibyville, W DESIGNS IN FURS. The exceeding mildness of the autumn has exercised a disastrous influence upon the fur | trade, and especially upon the novelties brought | over by importers, and which require an active season for their profitable disposal. Among these are capes with a fringe of tails, which descend lower upon the arm than the ordinary cape, and add to the warmth; mantles of seal skin, shaped to the figure and covering the arms, with muff and cap to match; and trim- ming in sets, including a broad band for the skirt, two for the fronts, collar, cuffs, and mut. These are very handsome in dark rac- coon or brown Montana bear fur, sometimes called “Labrador” bear. Skunk, Alaska seal, black lynx, and the yellowish gray fox are favorite furs, but the natural beaver has lost none of its prestige, and the true seal probably ranks higher than any other for really distinguished garments such as the new Newmarkets, never made in sealskin for this latitude until recently, — the more dressy sets—mantle, hat, and muff. Lamb’s wool, commonly calledan “Astrachan,” has been revived this season, and is used on the soft gray shades for trimming cloth suits as well asjackets. It is softer and more finely curled than formerly, and in narrow bands makes a lovely trimming tor the blue gray and dark smoke shades of cloth worn by young ladies.

Since writing my last an important arrival promises a new departure in the making of ladies’ riding habits and cloth gowns. Here- atter New York must be admitted to rank with | Grst-class cities, for Redfern, who has houses in | | London and Paris—and Cowes (Isie of Wight), | | has brought over a small army of cutters and | fitters and makers, and has leased buildings | running through from Fifth avenue to Broad- | | way at $25,000 per year, aud is to open before | | the first.ot December with some of the designs | | in costume which set the fashion in London and Paris. Cowes is where all the royal dresses are prepared, and it is alittle odd. when one thinks of queens and princesses as always sitting upon thrones and wearing crowns to find them writing on very nice but ordinary Irish linen note paper: Dear Mz. Reprers—Plcase make me a bite serge | dress like the one you made for the empress of Aus- tria, and send two each of the “ Fish-wife” sults In gray and crimson dannel for the princesses. ALEXANDRIA. At the present writing the opening, which will ; really be an event. has not taken piace, but ex- tensive preparations are making, and among | other things a lady’s horse is being manufac- tured, to be mounted on springs and put in a room in which riding habits are tried on, so that every, part of the costume, just as it Is seen when in the saddle. can be tested by the wearer and placed under final inspection. One of the features of the honse is that no two costumes are made alike. ‘The same cloth or trimming may be used, but it is never exhibited In dupll- cate or produced except to order, #.nd a lady can have special designs reserved to her own order if she wishe ration which is quite novel, and has just been introduced in Paris, is | that of an exquisite lambswool or “astrachan” trimming upon seal skin.

THE COMING cnRIsTMAs. Christmas shopping ins in earnest this week, and the shops and shop windows are now in their glory. Among the loveliest things are | the tans of transparent gauze or lace. hand- painted, or partly painted and partly embroid- | ered. There are also new desizns in circular feather fans for hanging at the side; and an in- finite variety of pretty embroidered handker- | chieis and dainty articles in lace for the neck, most of them, however, showing the upright collar and full front which have been the fea- tures for some time past. But there is a de- mand also for real lace, and many beautiful specimens of Duchesse and Mechlin ‘are shown, particularly in collars, collarettes, and a new square XVIIth century des which, it is said, | is the latest revival, and which has been ceived with approval by young married leaders of fashion, who see in it perhaps an opportunity to revive some of the charming and picturesque Vilth century modes—the period, at least dur- ng part of it, of the most graceful dressing the world has ever seen. Handkerchiets are sug- gested as a most desirable and suitable gift to bestow upon young girls. They are so pretty that they cannot have too many of them, and they are so costly that they are out of the reach of the average pocket money. But there are also many other desirable articles—long spiral scent bottles of opaline and cut glass, with solid silver tops; bags and purses of crocadile leather, and the antique pins, rings, bracelets, and clasps of crown Derby silyer, with Assyrian heads and ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions. A novelty in Rhine stone jewelry is a slender | pin of solid silver, set with small Rhine stones, in colors, which equal the most valuavle gems. The clearness and beauty are Temarkable, and the few exhibited were sold immediately. In the antique silver ornaments the colors are re- produced as weil as the forms, and sometimes a dash of old gold 1s blent with the silyer—the crescent pins, for example, are often half old gold, half oxydised siiver; but the shading of both is so managed that conspicuous contrast is avoided. Arrow heads, old stone and bronze implements are repeated in miniature in these various ornaments with tiny antique heads as pendants, or heads enlarged and linked together to form clasps, bracelet and neck bands, Apart from articles of personal adornment there is probably nothing so attractive as the wonderful display of colored and decorated glass in lamps, jugs, vases and sets for table and toilet use. The cost is so moderate that every, individual man or woman canhave a bit of. ruby or amber to hold for light and sunshine, and may drink from it it they choose, with 'a happy consciousness that if wealth does not come to the pgor, science and skill are rapidly making mone valueless by putting the beauty and re- fnement which were formerly its exclusive pos- session within the reach of all who have hands and brains and know how to use them. JENNY JUNE. Gambling in New Mexico, From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. “Do they play as much monte on the frontier as they used to do?” “Not near. Monte is getting out of date ex- cept among the Mexicans, and there are very few American monte dealers who can deal for greasers. They just scoop him every time. There was Johnny Gilmore, used to be a mar- shal at Silver City one time. He is considered the best monte dealer in New Mexico, Well, when the Mexican Central opened, nothing would do Johnny, but he must go down to Chi- huahna and open a monte bank. In three weeks he was back, busted wide open. Two or three others also came to griet, and then they concluded to let them have a monopoly of their own game.” “Faro seems to be as popular as ever?” | ‘Yes, but what kind of games do they run? { Ten-cent checks and 310 limits with kid dealers. And then any amount of tramps who liye off the tables.” “What is that?” “Well, they come in and get ¢1 worth of chips. They take three case cardsand back them for a chip each, and though it may seem strange, two out of the three will nearly always win. In about an hour they'll have $1 or Perhaps $2. Then they quit. You can never get more than the $1 out of them, and they get three or four out of you.” ‘Now, I will tell you something that will sur- prize you. The sporting business of the fron- tier is simply disgusting to a Californian. in San Francisco and all over the east, a dealer gets $10 a day, and only works about six hours; here he’s lucky if he gets $3, and as good men won't work tor any such wages, boys are em- ployed, This is a pretty good town, yet the united capital of half dozen saloons in it where gambling is carried on would hardly reach $2,000. El Paso is another town which puts on airs as a gambling center, yet it 1s donbtfal if there is even as much capital invested there as here in Lake Valley?” “Are the games generally on the equare?” CLEVELAND’S CABINET.
