Fatshiou Notes.
Flame and flesh color are beau.
tifnlly blended in new shot silks for
evening wear,
There is a sudden fancy abroad
for the old-fashioned knotted silk
fringes that have not been in vogue
for years.
For fetes and garden parties,
Pompadour mushns are very popu-
lar with young girls. With these
are worn dainty lace berthas and
the new very large round hate of
satin Panama in bronze or olive,
faced with velvet and trims ed with
wreaths of summer's last rosea.
These are called "halo" hats, for
the reason that they are worn n lit.
tie back upon the head, thee expo?
ing a very becoming aureole of dark
velvet above the waved of hair over
the forehead.
Black lace over white lace la very
beautiful in effect, especially in the
evening with diamond ornaments,
Some of these charming gowns are
demi•trained, and they aro now even
adopted by very young ladies in
black lace over mauve, surah or
pink silk batiste. The trains are
very mucic narrower than formerly,
and arranged so that the petticoat
and bodice aro quite distinct. Thorn
is little or no draping done upon
these dresses, nod et the front and
sides the lace flouncing is put on as
a donbin skirt, one flounce much
deeper than the other, hot nowhere
looped, narrow sheath -like effects
being again Bought.
The "Churchill" driving coat for
early autumn wear is a new stylish
model in utility serape designed by
an English house in Paris. Tho
coat is of an exceedingly soft and
fine cloth in invisible checks and
stripes, the seams of the coat lisp -
ped and stitched on the outside. It
is lined with aural:, and faeteued
with large silver buttons. Wide
English pockets are placed on either
side, and there is a deep turn -down
collar of dark velvet matching one
of the colors in the cloth. The
jacket opens over a smocked vest of
dark red silk.
There is no decided change in
hair dressing, although there is a
standing promise that thie will oc-
our in the near future, when the
back hair will descend to the nape
of the neck. But this change need
not bo anticipated ; the hair will re•
main high for some time to come.
Small, curiously wrought combo,
set with glittering gems, are worn,
with here and there a large hairpin
to match. The hair is carried up
from the neck and formed Into a
graceful double knot, through which
the pine are run. The long single
pins which hold the bonnet in place
are indispensible, and are now made
in a variety of unique and beautiful
deviooe.
The reason same men can't make
both ouds meetis because they tiro
too busily engaged in making one
end drink.
Tlie Professor—"Does my quos•
tion embarrass you ?" Student --
"Not in the least Sir. 11'e tho aria.
war I'm bothered eboni."
The unprecedented size of the
onion orop throughout the United
States is said to be sufficient to
bring out tears of gratitude.
Miss Kate—"Oh, mamma I Don't
take those plants, they look too
poverty stricken." Mrs. Suddenly
ltitoh--"Poverty•slriclten." Miss
Kate—"Yes, they haven't a aunt,"
A scheme is on foot to publish a
directory containing the names of
the society people of Ontario, What
is the matter that the deadbeat su.
ctety won't do ?
"Dire. Fangio is a bommopathist,
isn't She ?" remarked nu old lady,
during a call on a neighbor. "No,
1 don't (hick then," was the reply.
"She's very seldom in when I call."
Why canuot someone invent nn
overcoat that will do for all reasons
of the year ? So that one can add
to it cr take from it just us one
eh..rg,:s the covers on a bed to exit
the exigencies of the weather.
Is there going to be any mucin at
the church festival tonight ?" asked
Snooks of the pastor. "I do nut
know," responded that dignitary,
who had been many times snubbed
by the leader ; "1 do not know, but
the choir will sing l"
Wife -"What is the matter, John ?
you are the most impatient man I
ever saw." Husband—(struggling
to button his shirt)—"I can't find
thie horrid button hole." Wife
(placidly)—"Have you looked under
the bureau for it ?"
A young village girl has obtained
the prize for modesty. "So my
child," said a young lady to her,
you are the most modest young lady
here ?" "Oh, for that madam, I
can pride myself. And, I may add,
if I have not had the other prizes,
it is by pure injustice."
A lady cornered her wavier half
by asking : "My dear, if you can't
really drink bad coffee without abus.
ing me, how 1s 11 you can drink bad
beer without abusing the bar -keep-
er ?" He subeided and drank the
coffee.
Mrs. Millis was asked how she
managed to get along so nicely with
Mr. Millis, and frankly replied -"Oh
I feed him well. When a woman
marries, her happiness for a little
while depends upon the state of her
husband's heart ; after that, it's
pretty much according to the state
of his stomach."
"And don't you know Johnny,"
raid the minister, who was dining
with the family, "why your mamma
doesn't want you to eat a second
piece of pie ?" Yes, sir," replied
Johnny, "she said that if I didn't
eat a second piece, and you didn't
take any, there would be enough
left over for to•morrow."
Flunkey—"I beg your pardon,
sir, but there is one thing 1 should
like to mention at once. I am
afraid—e—that I am expected to
clean the boots ?" Gentleman—
"Bless me, oh, dear no 1 There
must be some mistake ; I always
clean them myself, and, if you will
leave your own shoes outsfdo the
door I will give them a polish at the
same time."
The rapid increase in our jnvenlle
population is a matter for congratu•
laden and meditation. Congratula-
tion. because it is an assurance that
the race is in no danger of beooming
extinct, and that We are a healthy
and prolific people, meditation be•
oauee it reminds us of the advance
of time, and that the older genera
tion are rapidly but surely being
pushed out of the way, and will soon
be finally shelved, It is some con-
solation to know that the young-
sters of today will be the bald heads
of to -morrow.

Hanlon ieaten by Kemp on lite Parra.
tuatta River.
The race for the sculling champ•
ionship between Peter Kemp and
Edward Hanlan was rower) on the
Parramatta River Friday and was
won by Kemp. After a Half mile
had been rowed Kemp book the lead,
which he maintained to the end,
finishing coolly ten lengths ahead
in twenty -ono minutes, twenty-
five seconds. The news from Aus•
India was awaited with great inter-
est in Toronto, and in many quart.
ere there was se expectation, as
there is always a hope whenever
Il,anlao rows, that he would win.
This was based on the idea that the
longer Harlan remained in Aus •
traits the better hie chances were,
as against the influence of the An-
tipodean olimate, and the fact that
while Kemp was a good smiler, he
is not au good a seedier nor as big
a man as Beach is. Hanlon sailed
for Australia from San Francisco
August, 1887,and since reaching the
other side of the globe has lost one
to Beach and twtoe to Kemp, and
wen a race from Trickett. Hanlan
spent the greater part of 1884 and
part of 1885 in Australia, wtion ho
defeated Laycock and Clifford, but
was twice beaten by Beach,

to ask one." 'Well, my little mac,'

question you want to ask 1"Sir,'

Americana was the facetious table
talk. While the party were about
to leave a citizen Dame in and coolly
tools Mr. Robertson's silk umbrella
and overcoat and walked out of the
door. It was so cool n job that all
were dumbfounded. Mr. It. soon
jumped to his feet, raehed to the
door and naught the man on the
pavement. "Excuse me, sir 1" he
said, "you have my coat and um-'
brella." "Ah 1" the man said, "in-

Here they are." "You are the most
