From repealed reference to the wat-
ta u fold, you w ill note that it is at
(resent in great vogue, aud w ill in all
likolihcod (lass over into next spring tc
bo u» <l on gowns of ceremonial preten­
sions. 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. Tho wor-
dore, gray and mauve w ill bo w orn ex­
tensively. Claiming great attention is a
very delicate mauve, called Lnlgaria.—

Thai John Randolph, late of Chicago,
■tMold forsake that wicked city fur the
more effete environment of Greater liew
"York ii not surprising when bis really
pathetic story is known. 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. How would you like to
be carried into au alley, held np by the
heals and shaken liko a meal sack un­
til everything in your pockets fell cut?
Well, that's what those Chief go thieves
did to me, a respectable business man.
1 was too little to suudbag. and the
Jootpads used to jolly me and say I was
rhe easiest thing in town. Then the p*
■era got to printing pieces about John
Randolph being shaken down again,
with pictures supposed to be funny, but
1 couldn’t see the joke.
“This winter was the worst of all. I
csmld stand bid ng robbed two or three
times a week, but when they got to
shaking the coin out of my clothes every
sight, and sometimes twice of au even-
tog, I left town. I intended to go into
business here, but they wou’t let me
wear a tray, and if I carried a basket
fb« people would bo so-pping iu it. But
