COTTON DRESSES arein the ascendant this year, here as well as abroad. But not the cotton with gathered skirts and asimple hem or flounce at the bottom, such as our mothers or grandmothers wore. No! These are draped and mounted and finished just as elaborately ag if they were silk, and the cost 1s Uettle less. “Here 13 a simple dregs,” said a sales- Woman to a customer, “and 1 am'sire Mrs. Blank ‘Fill make some concéssions to you; particularly if You take the foulard.” “Certainly,” promptly re- ied that lady, “you shali have the cotton dress for $75 and the foulard for $150.” ‘The figured and striped cotton and satines, the ehecked and striped zephyr ginghams, the soft Muished cambrics and crepy, semi-transparent Rew cotton materials are fine as silk, and are usually made over silk. Occastonally the under- skirt or lining may be of plain satine or chamory of the ground color of the outside, but a silk lining is far more general. A silk lining for a cotton skirt sounds “like an absurdity, but fashion Pays uo attention to anything” but effects; ‘and, besides, the cost must seem to be put some- where.

A narrow, ribbon-striped ‘slik grenadine, in two shades of biscuit, was draped high over a biscult- colored moire skirt, with brown and biscuit motre ribbons. A lovely dress for a young girl was of moonligpt blue stik tulle, st with narrow satin ribbol enuing in loops, affd a border of the ribbons at the foot, Over surah of the same shade. Scarfs of plain tulle were crossed at the sides and formed a drapery ut the back. ‘The least expensive dress Was of striped blue and white satine, made upon plain blue satine with side panels—divided by folds of the stripe—of Madrid embroidery. This was considered very cheap at thirty-five aollars. A charming cotton dress ‘was of fine, white, sprigxed, embroidery, over pink gingham, which formed the straight Skirt and scarf-like drapery hung In a deep festoon at che side. The bodice and sleeves were entirely of the embroidery, over pluk. A quite new material 1s made of twisted threads, the colors twisted together before being woven. It makes a light fabric, with the texture ‘and appearance of China crepe, seml-transparent and very elastic, yet_ serviceable. A blue dress of this kind was lovely, with a litle square figure embroidered in the ‘midst of an invisible check and made up over blue silk, An ideal dress for a young girl was of white goat's hair, bordered with two series of narrow, cream-colored gros-grain ribbons, A black and white foulard was made over white stik, and trim- med with a Dlack silk lace, hand-woven, and Showing an applique of silk’ lowers in velvet, which had a ralsed effect, but looked as if woven in the design. The interfor of the skirt was faced with a deep, Scant ruffle of white embroidery. ‘The wraps were very small and consisted of lace and jet almost exclusively. ‘The majority were deeply polnted, back and front, the points aocen- tuated by ornainents or festoons of Jet and long loops of motre ribbon. ‘They were in no wise dif- ferent frotn the small summer wraps of the last two or three seasons, which it seems to have been found dificult to improve upon. The pretttest wrappers were of white cashmere, embroidered. in ish, Persian, or Indian em- broldery patterns, NEWPORT BELLES. The fashionable girls of Newport have more the appearance of English girls than those that are seen in any town in America, They wear the same pretty, simple, blue or buff or flac cotton gowns, and the same Coarse straw bonnets, trimmed wiul ‘white muslit, and small, red poppies, or red tulle and marguerites, With’ their tailor-made dresses they Wear the same habit fronts and cloth-cov- ered sailor hats, and there fs the same decided distinction betWeen the style and material of the dresses of the daughters, and the richer, more elaborate designs of thelr’ mamas. There is the same abseuce of Jewelry and anything supertiu- Us in dress or trimming, and sometimes an accent Which weuld make you believe they were born within sound of Bow Bells. But here the comparison ends. The American girl 1s usually more graceful and far less shy than the English girl; quite competent to manage her oWn affairs, and blasé as to experience and kaowl- edge of her superiicial world, Newport is in mourning this year, so many deaths have taken place among those'who have been accustomed to lead in society. ‘The differ- ence 1s sensibly felt in the amount of gayety and the entertaining done by the summer residents. At the Casino it will be more lively when the ten nis tournaments begin. At present the fine band Plays its program to from five to a dozen indiffer- ent and apparently totally uninterested persona, ‘The Casiuo has always been a close corporation, from which the general public are carefully ex- cluded, so that {t has ceased to have any Interest for those who are not in the list of its subscribers and Stockholders, It 1s a pity that it is not more liberally managed, for it 4s a beautiful promenade and picture, and deserves wider appreciation, ‘The beach has been nothing but a drive at New- port, for thesummer residents do not bathe. But the town has lately erected a pavilion and three hundred bathing houses upon the best part of the beach, which draws crowds of excursionists. A fairly good and cheap restaurant 1s attached, and Uckets for the use of a bath-house, and including the use of bathing dress, can be ‘had for thirty cents. ‘Hooded chairs upon wheels, running down upon Unes of tramways to the water, and depositing their passengers in the waves, are all that ts now needed to give an air of foreign life and vivacity to the hituerto solemn and louely beach at New- port, and these will probably come in time, 1f winter storms do not sweep away that which has already been done. ‘Trousers, with a blouse waist and skirt, in dark Diue flannel, trimmed with white braid—the same that has done duty for the past ten years—is still the bathing dress of the majority. A wide brimmed straw hat, tying down gypsey fashion, under the chin, with blue or red checked or stripped ribbon, completing the popular outfit. JENNIE JUNE ‘The Revival of Handicraft, Prof. J. F.

LEONARD SWETI’S BRIDE, The Pleasant Story of a Remarkable Young Lady. From the Chicago Herald. Leonard Swett, the famous Chicago lawyer, was married at 8 o'clock last evening to Miss Marie Decker, one of his law partners, at the palace of Archbishop Feehan, It was a private wedding. Besides the contracting parties, there were present only Miss Rose Skillints, nfece ot Mr. Swett, and Mr. and Mrs. G, Decker, parents of the bride; her two brothers, Lewis and George and her three Gertrude, Elise and Katie, Mr. Swett is & widest of sixty-one, his wife having died In March, 1886. Lils bride 1s & lady of remarkable talents, born in Cologne, on the Rhine, thirty years ago. She came to this ‘city with her ‘parents in 1860, “Her father had been well-to-do in Germany, and brought to Chicago considerable means, which he invested in business and property. All was swept away in the great fire, and ‘the family was left almost entirely without means of ge Fortunately, however, Miss Decker bad wel educated at ‘Catholic convents in Germany and Belgium while yet but little more than a child, so that she brought to America with her the ability to write and speak fluently the German, French and English languages, be- sides many other accomplishments, espec- aa music, When the crash came in 1871, Mr. and Mrs. Decker were left home- less and without money, the eldest daugh- ter, Marie, at once became the source of inspiration and hope of the tamily. She threw aside her much-loved music atid the smoke and ashes and chaos of the fire, and struck out into the world of business. Her knowledge of book- keeping and command of mathematics, her famil- jarity with foreign languages and her energetic spirit’ were irresistible. “She had from the ‘start a choice of positions, and from the humble beginning of bookkeeper in a small firm, she ite by her wonderful Skill, energy, and abilities, risen step by step, first U0 an important position in the post-office under Postinaster Palmer, then to the chief clerkship of Mr. Swett’s law firm, later to a partnership in- terest in the firm, and, finally, to become the bride Of the great lawyer at whose hands she sought a modest clerkship seven years ago. For fifteen years she has served either in the ca- Pacity of clerk, book-keeper, cashier, or manager, and during that time has turned over to her Parents to assist in the support of the family, in addition to clothing herself, the handsome sun of $10,000. It was with great feeling that her father, Whose scanty hair has become weil whivened with age, expressed in broken English to the Herald reporter last evening his great Joy on the one hand and deep sorrow on the other at parting with his daughter: “she 3] up lke aught out of our dark- ness,” he said, “and we had learned to forget mis- fortunes undef her inspirations, But she ts going and her place can never be filled, I do not com- plain. ‘She ts going where she will be still more useful.” It Would be impossible to tell the story of the life of Leonard Swett's bride in a single news- Paper article. Her first decided success was achieved in the post-office, where, in the man- agement of foreign mail matter, her knowledge of the languages came into service, and her accuracy and absolute reliability were re- cognized by all. She had aiready established @ valuable name in Chicago business cir- cles when she presented herself, seven years ago, to Leonard Swett for a position in his law oMices. _Her application was -at once accepted, and in a short time she became practically indis- nsable to the business. Starting oul as book- mepete she was soon placed tn chai of the vaults, and was the only one connect with the firm who knew where to place hands upon important papers. connect with all the varled legal interests intrusted with the firm. In two years she “ame cashier, in addition to the other trust8 and has for four years handied every dollar of the firm's immense law business, Three years ago she was admitted as a artner, her interest the tirst year yielding her $2,500, the second $3,500 and the last. year’ over $5,000. This growth is representative of the iu- Crease of Mr. Swett’s business since he regained ence which be claims is largely due to her abilities “She keeps books,” said a member of the firm, “in double entry, and renders a balance sheet every month that for neatness and accuracy can- not be surpassed in the largest Banking house in Chicago.” During Mr. Swett's illness, when for two or three years he was traveling in the South and other parts for his health, Miss Decker—the bride of to-day—was the malnstay of the business, She it was who looked after the collection of fees and kept the business intact, remitting funds to the sick man abroad and to the lute invalid wire at home, proving herself equal to the most serious emergency. These were days when Leonard Swetv's law business was on the decline, when, through sickness, he was losing clients, but Miss Decker heldon to the reins of the financial side and weathered the storm. ne ‘The Great Chinese Wall. ‘From Gen. Wilson’s book on China, “The Great Wall of China 1s in fine condition ‘where I examined it, though ruinous in parte, It 1s from 25 to 30 feet high, 15 to 20 feet thick, and Tevetted outside and in with cut granite masonry laid in regular courses, with an excellent mortar of Iimeand sand. It 1s surmounted by a parapet or battlement of gray burned brick 18 or 20 inches thick, covered with moss and plerced with crenelated openings for the defenders, whether archers or matchlockmen, to fire through. ‘The Tear of inner revetment wall 18 also furnished with a lower parapet, but 1¢ 18 not crenelated. The top is paved With a double layer of brick about a foot square. The inside of the wall is, made of earth and loose stone, well rammed in. Every 200 or 300 Fards yards there isa danking turret 35 or 40 feet high, projecting beyond an overlooking the face of thie wall in both directions, and near each turret 1s a stone stuireasé leading down between the walls to a door opening upon the ground in the rear. The most astonishing thing about it 4s, however, thatit climbs straight up the steepest and most mountain side, courses along thelr summits, de- sends into gorges and ravines, and, rising again, skirts the face of almost inaccessible crags, crosse3 rivers, valleys, and plains in endless succession from Oneend of the empire to the other—trom the seashore on the gulf of Pe-Chee-Lee to the desert wastes of Turkestan. No spot is left unguarded or uncovered, and no matter how flerce and active were the wild tribesmen who assalled it, or how innumerable their armies, t 1g evident. that it could, if well defended, defy the world up to the day of gunpowder and artillery.

In those days sun-stroke was very uncommon, and the cy- clone was comparatively unknown. ‘This year we are in the second season of drouth in various por- tons of the country, while every year brings its devastation from Wind, the result of an excessive ly dry and frequently disturbed condition of the atmosphere. With the land thus denuded of natural water supply, there 1s Dut one course for our farmers to pursue'to save themselves from these evils, ‘They may drain their soll, but they should gather the rainfall tn ponds and lakes scattered throughout thelr lands, Instead of running the drains through and out of the swamp, they should lead to an €: cavation of such size as circumstances will per- mit, which should be made at a depth of three or four feet, where the water can gather and will re- main throughout the year, quenching the tnirst of animals, giving drink to birds, a reservoir in Case of fire, a houie for fish, a spot of beauty on which may sali the boat, dn opportunity for the Dath and for teaching the young people to swim. It will yield ice for the famtiy, provide skating for the happy youth in winter time, and moisture, Which, through evaporation, will’ pass into thé cloud to be returned again through rainfall to the needy earth. ‘No fear need be entertained of stagnation from Water thus held in reserve, Fish will of them- selves purify it. Every rain will change {t, while, if the lake ‘covers an acre or more inarea, thé wind will constantly Keep it pure. ‘The writer, in Proof of this, has an aruiticlal lake on his faim, the result of dredging a swamp, which 1s fille only by rainfall, the water belng, in the dryest season, always perfectly clear and fresh. ‘On the low lands the general abandonment of farms and homes from river overflow will be the inevitable outcome of this water wastage in the high grounds. Such is already the fact, while the expenditure Of many millions of dollars by the Government, in the construction of levees and embankments along the great rivers, will be nec- essary for the further protection’ of adjoining property. Vastly better that tls expenditure be made in holding the water where it 1s required in the up-country. Dot the farms of our inland States with ponds and miniature lakes, and while they will afford health, attraction, and pleasure in a thousand Ways, they Wiil give us back the uniform rainfall We hid io the early settlement of the country, when successive seasons of drought, forest gires, and cyclones 5 re unknown, esos Mme. Nilsson at Hom ‘THE GREAT SINGER'S SUKROUNDINGS IN HER HOME IN KENSINGTON COURT. Olive Logan, in the Indianapolis Journal. ‘The home of Christine Nilsson at Kensington Court is one of the most luxuriant bonbonnieres inLondon, It may really be looked upon as her bridal bower, for previously she occupied a house in Belgravia, which, though very fine and expen- sive, was not half so charming as the beautiful nest in which the nightingale “now reposes. ‘The world-renowned songstress received me with en- gaging and hospitable warmth at the door of her rawing room, an apartment crowded with artistic furniture, richly carved and gilded, embroidered draperies, and an almost in- describable quantity ‘of rare bibelots. A gilde cabinet ring her monogram 1s quite filled ‘With exquisite ancient tans, several of which are historic, having belonged to queens and princesses; a Chickering concert grand piano is partulally cov- ered with an unusually fine China crape shawl, embroidered in colors, trimmed with a multi: colored fringe and looped here and there with rare old silver clasps. Sculptured ivories, burnished enamels, an ancent ormolu clock, With its face set round with costly crystals, which sparkle almost like diamonds, a marble bust of the diva standing op a buhl table under the graceful foliage of a palin, and at least a score of photographs of crowned heads, whose erereige fingers have offered these tributes, with theit autographs, to Christine Nilsson, are a few of the many interest ing objects upon which the charmed eye of the visitor falls, Right well and happy does the celebrated song- stress look to-day in her dark blue gown of satin- fa ed surah, made without train, high neck and with the elbow sleeves, which show to such ad- vantage the white and shapely arms, A touch of pink ribbon and a'voluminous cascade of fine old potnt lace form an admirable background for the ‘Wonderful parure of sapphires and diamonds with wile herears, neck, fingers and arms are adorned, She looks handsomer now than she did a score of Years ago, wnen Cavanel painted that equisite tull-length of her as Ophelia which hangs yonde was young and poor then,” she says, stroking r now pluinp cheeks and Dy the use of the word| poor” in the sense of “thin” showing how great an tnflueace her American connection has had in forming her English speech. ‘rhe fair Christina is now the Countess Casa de Miranda, and I was interested in the personally of her happy spouse. ‘The count 1s a slender man of middie age, of about Nilsson’s own height, with dark complexion and eyes which require a circular rimless glass stuck in One of them only.

A Phase of the Servant Question, From the Boston Courier. “I know they must. be new-rich people,” an ob- servant old lady remarked of some late arrivals at the fashlonable house where she Was staying, “because they are so rude to thelr servants.” ‘The ‘observation was one Which a good many people who pride themselves, and not always unjustly, on their good breeding, would do well to lay t0 heart, ‘The ciass 1s by no means small of those ‘who have a strong impulse to prove thelr own su- perfority by insisting continually on the infert- ority of those Who serve them. ‘They are so it tle Sure of their place or dignity as to be pursued by a necessity of continually putting forward some proof of {t, and the method of doing this most Obvious to their minds is to browbeat and illuse their attendants. ‘The old saying tbat A man {snot a hero to his valet takes half its force from this fact. Servants are seldom devold of the power of detecting a am dignity, however dull they may be in the comprehension of other matters. ‘They under- stand perfectly the meaning and the value of that air of easy insolence by meansof which Mrs. Shod- dy hopes to impress beholders with .a due sense of her own importance as compared to the social standing of the il!-used menials. They may or may not be shrewd enough to see that it deceives nobody else, but at least they are seldom likely to be taken in by it. And it 1s equally sure that no oneat all familiar with life can be duped by the shallow and vulgar artifice. People who are ac- gustomed to servants and who have Deen rearedin families having any claims reeding would be perhaps more Ukely to be rude to a social equal than toa servant, moreover, it 1s ex- Asasimple matter of policy, tremely silly to be rude to hirellugs, Money buys a certain grade of service, but that which 13 at all worthy the name can only come trom good will. It 4s not the people who bluster at their attendants, flout and abuse them, and insist always upon as- pau ‘their wills and their position, who are best: served, A kind bearing often effects more than exorbitant wages, as has been said so many times that the world ought by this time to have learned and heed it. —___—_+os___ He Was the Boss Bishop.
