FEMINIM. FASHIONS.
Some Frrsh. Addition to the Season'!
Costumes.
"Nearsilk" is the name of a new pretty
Bilky fabric manufactured to take
place of the genuine silk dress lining".
Standing fraises and immensely high,
full ruches will be replaced next sea
son on dressy toilets by plaiting of lace
that droop gracefully from a soft nar
row folded stock of net, riblxm or chif
fon. The "sunrny" dress skirts ere likely
to prove very popular wear this sum
mer, as fashion has set her unqualified
approval upon, the style. It seems a
pity, however, that the dominating'
t'iste for immoderate decoration will
rot leave even these new graceful mod
els untrimmed. On the latest aocord-ion-plaited
skirts no fewer than 13
plisse-frills are nrrang-ed'. t
The so-called "art linens" manufac
tured in Donegal are now made into
stylish tailor costumes, plain, braided,
finished with handsome white linea
lace insertions, or facings and white
vest of white duck, the skirt completed
Ty bias rows of the duck in graduated
widths. Vesting1 of heavier linen than
that used for whole suits comes in bas
ket weaving in red, green, ecru, cream,
etc., with lines or dots of dark brown or
black. The Galatea twills are now
made dnto cycling-, boating and sea
beach morning suits for women as well
as children.
Slender women continue to wear the
round empire sash softly folded around
the waist, the wide ribbon or scarf be
ing very often carried around the figure.
Fuller forms, however, wisely adopt t he
girdle, shaped as flatly as possible;
this in many cases rising high under the
arms and narrowing to a point ut the
waist in front. This is decidedly more
becoming to any but slender figures
than any of the belts of uniform width.
Added to the great number of summer
waists made in surplice fashion, the.
folds loose and easy or drawn as close
to the figure as possible, to suit indi
vidual requirements, are plainly fitted
waists with novel flcbu-liko arrange
ments of lace and mull, of lace, net, and
insertion, or of material matching the
dress. On some of the French models
the shawl points nre tied in a very large
Imiw at about half the length of the
waist; on others they are simply crossed
ntthebeltand there fastened; and again,
very long scarf ends are crossed on the
figure, carried to the bock, and tied in
a loose Ixjw.
The Iwx-phiited Norfolk waist reap
pears among costumes and toilets for
spring and summer wear, and forms a
part of utility gowns of tweed, shep
herd's check, plain -and fancy mohair,
cheviot, and serge, or well as the waist
portion of linen, duck, pique, chambray,
and daiutier toilets of taffeta striped
and dotted summer satin, foulard gren
adine, and very many more hot weat her
textiles. On utility suits and also on
not a few of the more dressy costumes,
the new Norfolk waist is made with a
deep square, yoke that fastens on the
left shoulder, and the graduated plaits
below the yoke are applied and not cut
in one with tho waist. N. Y. Post.
FASHION NOTES.
Reasonable Fancies tn Ladles' Cos
One of the most elegant mourning
costumes of the season is made of
Priestley silk warp Henrietta cloth
The sl(irt, waist and 'sleeves are plain
ami exquisitely fitted. Three crape
ruflles, with headings, are set on at tho
foot of the skirt; the waist has on up
plied vest, of the crape, with a yoke at
the hack. Over the shoulders are deep
iiillles of the crape graduated to run
Into the dai ts on either side of the vest.
A high collar with a crape ruche and
criiK! rulllcs nt the wrists complete the
trimming, The bonnet is made of puffs
of crape, with crimped fans at either
side. These fans are spread uud wired
up in wing fashion.
A novelty waist is of old rose and
green and gray brocade. The body is a
modified bolero, pointed over a corse
let on either side, and nt the back. Tho
front is gathered! where it is drawn
across the bust. There nre enormously
wide revers, with sharp points. These
extend out over tho sleeve tops and nlwo
over the fronts of the sleeves Just above
the bust; the sleeves nre shirred in full
puffs ut. the tops and have fancy cults
of tho material, w ith galloon and loops
of ribbon.
An exceedingly stylish costume is
made of green, velvet. Tho Bkirt is
plain, with the exception of a large box
plait at one side of t he front. The waist
lias tint plaita from the collar and shoul
der seams to a ido corselet. There are
three flounces on cither dleevu between
the shoulders snd elbows; the sleeve
llounces, plaits and euffsare edged with
gold gimp.
There is nothing in tho wny of use
ful dresses that tho average womnn
finds more profitable than a good
cheviot or serge. Made, in tailor fash
ion, a skirt and jacket of this fnbric
will wear long enough to satisfy the
must exacting woman in the world,
1 1 nt to get the very best wear it niunt
be of the very lxst quality and made In
the very best manner,
t A round hat has a puff of velvet, en

Specimens of a strange caterpillar
discovered this spring on pear trees in
Cambridge, Mass., are pronounced by
Prof. Samuel llenshaw to be the "gold
tail," or cuproetis chrysorrhoea, hither
to unknown ns an inhabitant of this
country, although it is found locally
in England, and is "nlmndant in central
and southern Europe." When numer
ous, these caterpillars are very de
structive, feeding on inch trees and
plants us the tipple, pear, plum, haw
thorn, biamble, elm, willow, beech,
oak, hazelnut and hornbeam. At pres
ent the invaders tn Massachusetts are
Mid to bo confined to a limited area in
Komcrville aud Cambridge. The first
specimens seem to have made their
appeurance a year ago, and thus far
they have confined themselves to pear
And apple trees. How they got across
the ocean nobody apparently knows.
It is suggested that tby vigorous uieus
(urea they may be stumped out.

BOY CHOIRS.
Tho Training of Lads to Slntf In
Churob.es.
Difficulties That Are Met with la the
Work and the Rewards for Effi
cient Services The Best
- Choirs.
It was Choirmaeter Le- Jeune, of old
St. John's, m verick street, that first
introduced into New York the scientific
method of training toy choirs. The
method was brought from Italy, and
goes back no one knows how many
centuries in the history of the Catholic
church. That church, however, strange
ly enough, haa not in New York made
the training of boy choirs by this meth
od an important adjunct to its music.
St. Patrick's cathedral has, indeed, a
urge boy choir recruited from the
neighboring Catholic orphanage, but
the best boy choirs of the city are found
in Episcopal churches.
Old St. John B no longer has its former
handsome appropriation for the main'
tenance of a choir, so that the prece
dence in this matter has passed to other
churches. Perhaps the best boy choir
is at St. Agnes' chapel of Trinity par
ish, in Ninety-third street, whose choir
master, Mr. Stubbs, is a brother-in-law
of the choirmaster at old St. Johns.
Half a dozen other churches have nota
ble boy choirs, end rectors insist more
and more upon, having this kind of
music; but the Italian method in ita
extreme development, attracted little
attention, in New York until within
the past five or six years. There are a
few notable boy choirs in suburban
churches. Chicago, with her determina
tion to have the biggest of everything,
has a church with a boy choir of 50
members, not too well trained, though
the great cathedral of St. Paul's, Lon
don, has but 30 boys in ita choir. Most
American choirmasters are content to
train their boys by some other method
than the Italian. It is little used in
lloston, and almost not at all in. north-.
ern and western cities.
Few boy choirs have more than 20
memlxTH, and that number is jsuflicient
for all ordinary purposes. The labor of
fitting these boys for their work is
enormous, and few boys are at their
lmsfc for choir work during more than
three or four years of their lives. The
choir schools of London take promising
boys of eight or nine from all over Eng
land, provide them with all the ma
terial needs of life, give them an ad
mirable education in tfbeal music, and
employ thicin in public church singing
for nlMiut five years. Hoys in this coun
try are seldom taken as pupils in choir
singing before they are ten years of
ngc, and it usually requires two years of
hard work to fit an apt pupil for public
singing. Most boys have to give up the
profession at the age of 15, when the
change of voice unfits them for further
soprano singing. A few, after a rest of
a few years, go on and develop into ex
cellent men .singers, but most of the
youngsters retire forever from the pro
fession. Every choirmaster has a class of pro
bationers from among whom he makes
promotions to his choir as vncaaieies
occur. Tliw probationer is first taught
to lay nsiile utterly his ordinnry speak
ing voice and to sing in n pure vocal
tone. Only the true, lover of music is
ndmilted to the class of probationers.
After a year or two of simple music
the probationer may 1m- promoted1 to
a humble place In the choir. lie is then,
perhaps, 12 years old, and tine object of
the, choirmaster is to make him for the
next tlirw years a nearly a perfect
choir singer as he. can 1m made. Some
of the boys serve without pay, but many
lire jxaid, n, few pretty well. The ordi
nary inconspicuous choir singer may
earn from, two to ten dollars a month.
The liest. of the lioys, who are, able to
sing a solo with excellent effect, re
ceive from $.100 to $ii()0 a year. A boy
singer in New York (seldom earns more
than the lairger sum. All of the boys,
however, receive presents and pleasant
little, attentions. They must not eateh
cold in winter, so, if poor, they receive
n gifte comfortable flannels, sound
hlux's and warm, overeoate. If paid ill,
they go with their choirmasters on lit
tle excursions, perhaps to hear -good
music, perhaps on a summer camping
trip.
Tho boys give In return for all this,
not only such time as is required of
them at t he regular church eerviee, birt
also from three to five laborious re
hearsals a week, with special extra ru
hcarsals for special service. Their
time during Ltnit is greatly occupied
between service and rehearsals.
There is much enthusiasm anionf
choir boys for their profession, am
many are ambitious to continue it ii
some form after the approach of man
hood has unfitted them for the partic
ulur work for which they have beei
trained. Choirmasters find that Oer
man and English boys make good choi'
singers, and that native American boyi
of native imr.'ntage are usually unmiit
id for the profession. The American
lxy Is unlit led for the work, not only
because he is often unmusical, but as
well U'eauso he Is not docile, as ore boys
of foreign' birth or parentage. The
problem of disciplining and managing
n boy choir increase with twh new nv
tire boy admitted. N. Y, Suu.

akin to delight. Salem Independent.

BICYCLE. BORROWING.
Neither Borrow Nor I.ciid Is the Rols
for All.
The ethics of bicycle borrowing are
iH'ginning to agitate wheeling circles
now 'that what is termed the legitimate
riding season is at hand. Are cyclists
expected to allow other people to ride
their bicycles? This is the great ques
tion. In discussing it a genial and well
known wheelman, who has suffered per
haps as much as anyone from the bor
rowing hnbit, as practiced by other
cyclists, said:
"From the frequency with which re
quests for the 'loan of your wheel' are
made by some people one might be
pardoned for .thinking that the sole
mission in this world of the owner of a
bicycle was to lend R to all his friendis
anil noqu.'i.int.'incrs. Now, as a maitterof
fact, no one has the least excuse for
making such a request of the owner of a
bicycle, and owners should firmly and
emphatically refuse to comply with
them when made. If a man or u wom
nn ennnot afford to pay for the amuse
ment of cycling they oit'rlit to forego it,
I do not mean by this Mint if an unusual
ly trustful and good-iKilinred friend of
fers to lend a bicycle one is morally
bound to refuse it, but I do mean that
no one ought to be surprised or offended
if a request for the loan of a wheel is re
fused. "A bicycle is not a cheap, easily re
placed article, such ns a baseball bat or
a jsiir of skates. Against the borrowing
of such things there, is no law, butyoair
wheel is a different matter. No one, not
even the most expert rider, can guaran
tee it against tnishnp, even if the acci
dent be only the puncture of a tire,
Too often, however, the pitfalls w;hloh
beset the most wary rider are far more
serious. The dangers of crowded
streets, where it seems the chronic bor
rower of bicycles most doth like to ride,
there is no need to enlarge upon. They
are ao common that the spectacle of a
wheel being extriented from beneath a
beer wagon, a street ear or a cab, no
longer attracts a crowd, even on F.road
way. Hut even in hss frequented iroaUi
a cyclist cannot always avoid danger,
nor insure immunity for the machine he
is riding. Accidents, however, undesir
able as they are, nre of comparatively
small moment so long as the damaged
wheel is your own, but if it is the prop
erty of some one else the case assumes
different complexion. Few ople en
joy the process of confessing that the
borrowed machine has come to grief
while in their hands, and I suspect that
few even of the most good-natured of
friends are not moved to regret their
unselfishness when the mangled re
mnins of their machine nre brougfat
home.
"Never lend your wheel, nnd sit down
most aggressively on all who .make a
request for a loan of It. These
chronic, bicycle borrowers should be
taught lessons." N. Y. Sun.
