Where it cannot bo used for cer tain reasons it is simulated. Ribbon trimming is disposed in such a way as to give a quaint watteau effect behind. Although dressmakers suggest many pretty ways of using ribbon as garniture, the plain satin ribbon is generally em- ployed. Fancy ribbon is not so popular as it was a year ago. The plain kind, either contrasting iu color or matching the foundation, it tho frock bo of mull or seme thin fabric mounted over a col ored siik, is preferred. For ball gowns, faconne monsseline chiffon, silk tarlatans and tulle are the loading fabrics. The more diaphanous aud light tho more fashionable the fabric. Only the tows on the breast aud epaulets are permitted to bo stiffened with wire. Full bebe front, embroidered belt and many flowers around the neck and waist are fashionable. Elderly la dies wear gowns of tnoiro glace and velours, white, pale bine, hcllotrop« and cornflower blue velvet. As regards colors which w ill be fash ionable, may be mentioned, first, all th« greens. They w ill bo worn in all tones, from the palest to the darkest, passing through tho bronze shades.

I met Mr. 'Randolph recently, after a lapse of years, wearing an air of settled luelan- eholy, a wide brimmed hut and hair that hang to the middle of his back. At tint I hardly knew John, he had changed no runch. He is leas than a feet high, broad of beam and is blessed with n pair of legs that resemble a horse collar. It was those legs that supplied the missing link in the chain of recognition. For yean Mr. Randolph flourished in the gum drop industry in the Chicago Ten derloin. With a cuudy tray strapped to his stomach, John stood in front of thet atom and other plat es of awusemen- ant) infested saloons, doing a thriving gam drop trade at all hours until tbo footpads Anally drove the little man from his native heath. “ I couldn’t stand it any longer, ” said John, with a half sob. “ Not only did the footpads break me np in business, hot they hurt my feelings so that I had to leave town.
