The favorite' arena is the grazing ground of Phion, near Sitten, or Sion. The time is the beginning of July, when the cattle go to the upper Al- pine pastures; and there are some- times 250 cows in the'proeession. The winner, known as the "Queen," marches during the whole year at the head of the line, and the herd to which rapidly yields ground, and finally, with backward springs, giyes up its place in the combat, and is driven out of the arena. Even insignificant wounds are unusual, and a veterinary is seldom present The interest centres in the queen of the previous year. Foaming at the mouth her hide shining with perspir- ation, she bellows forth defiance, and victory, although all the rest of the year her owner will energetically re- d press any belligerent inclinations on her part.

Sealskin has come into its own again after years of ob- livion, and beaver is ubiquitous. Opossum is again used, and all the foxes in separate pieces. China rose is a new color making its appearance in millinery lines. The shade is not unlike the coral tones with which the summer vogues have familiarized us• It is deeper in tone and of a bluer quality; very good- ` looking in felt and plush, especially when trimmed with beaver or seal. Silk handbags are much more in favor, even with severe tailored cos- tumes than bags of leather. Some- times. the leather bag is made very dainty, with plaited sides and a shirred lining of tinted silk, but the bag of faille classique moire or gros- grain silk has first favor with well- dressed women. The deep, tobacco pouch shape is the favorite, and tbe silk is gathered to the covered frame, one smart model recently brought over from Paris having deep over- lapping tucks all around the pouch shape.
