New York, Oct. 80.—A dress for rainy
days should havo a place in overy lady’s
wardrobe whoroitis possible. Not some
old gown that is to bo worn on the dull,
dark day because nobody is likely to
drop in, but a dress specially designed
for the purpose, and only put on to
brighten up the surrounding gloom.
For a rainy day dress tbo material

the change. Your brothers will feel
gayer, and your sons and daughters will
share in the general brightness. But os
children’s perceptions are keener they
will probably understand that you, in
your unwonted brilliancy of coloring,
make a glad, warm spot in the dreary
day.
It need not bo a very expensive gown.
I give a picture of a cashmere dress that
may be wrapper or tea gown at will. It
is of blood red cashmere, with a front of
gold colored surah. Tho edges of the
cashmere are feather stitched with gold
colored saddler silk, and across the front
and at tho waist and throat are narrow
rows of black velvet ribbon which end
in full rosettes.
This is plain but very effective, and
would bo a cheerful point of bright color
in a dull wintor or rainy morning. Tho
odges of tho gown coaid bo prettily em
broidered or trimmed with a cascade of
lace with lavish bows of ribbon and float
ing ends.
Some like blue or light green, brown
or other color, but they would not bo so
satisfactory as a brilliant bit of warm
color as tho more pronounced colors men
tioned above. Old material in the proper
colors can bo made over effectively in
this way, or if tho wrapper form is not
considered desirable a very pretty design
is given in tho other illustration. The
material is fino hair lino choviot, red and
bine, and trimmed by a band of brocaded
ribbon in tho richest cashmere colors.
Tho ribbon io laid on flat from neck to
foot, with a bow at tho waist Tho cuffs
and collar are of the same. Tho colors
are all very bright, and, with a pleasant
smile, would mako oven a London fog
seem burning sunshine.
Tho graceful princess© shape is pecul
iarly well ndaptod for elegant house
dresses, and they are becoming to all
ages and styles of figure, and they will
tako any kind of trimming. Tho present
rage is for Spanish points and Spanish
styles of garniture, os it is of dancing,
and evon tho coquettish little side curls
are worn by all the dark haired girls.
A very pretty now walking suit that
has just been imported is worthy of
HOUSE DRESS AND STREET COSTUME,
imitation. It is of striped cheviot in
cream, gray and blue, and is trimmed all
around tho bottom with a l>and of
volutina in tho samo shade as tho bluoof
the stripe. Tho sleeves have- full caps of
tho same, ami a very novel Pierrot collar
cf tho velutina is laid around tho neck.
Around tho waist is a velvet ribbon sash
with loopa and cud.v. A cockle shell
shaped hat in gray felt with velvet ribbon
and velvet flowers finish tho whole lmud-
soino costume.
It is utterly impossible to tell one-lialf
tho glories and beauties in new bonnets
and hats, for there are ne many styles
and species as there arc flowers iu tho
field. I noticed one peculiar one of apple
green felt, bent up and then turned
down to a queer shaped point in front.
On tho very end of tho peak in front was
a surprising bow of green velvet ribbon,
and in tho back was another in tho
midst of which nestled a little black bird
with fiery red eyes.
On tho whole, the bonnets this year
ore not as handsome os they were last in
form nor in the mowing of the trim
ming. Olive Habpss.

Bur Fbancboo, Oct 25. -A little more
than o year ogo, newspaper readers were
apprised that Spokane Foils, Wash., hod
been swept by a disastrous fire. Com
pared with the population and capital
invested in the two cities, Spokane's
fire was as disastrous os the great Chi
cago fire. That is to say, about every
business house of any importance was
swept oat of existence by a singlo dash.
But judging from tho appearance of
Spokane today, tho place has a vitality
which fire cannot burn up. Where be
fore ordinary frontier blocks stood, now
immense granite, stone and brick struct
ures ore standing six and seven stories
high.
The streets for months have been
in a state of blockado to ordinary traf
fic because of tho building material
piled for miles along the principal thor
oughfares. Pedestrians are forced to
pick their way between lumber piles
ami loaded trucks in tho middle of the
streets. A conservative estimate of tho
building operations for tho first year
after tho fire places the sum of money
put into business buildings at $6,000,000.
Many buildings seem to be larger than
tho needs of the young city would jus
tify. But when I was there I was told
that tho floors abovo tho fifth in most
all tho buildings were used as resi
dences for tho heavy bachelor popula
tion, being fitted np as sleeping apart
ments, aud many families oven are
housed over the largo palaces of trade.
Residences have not kept paco with the
influx of people, and canvas tents and
temporary shanties are seen by the hun
dreds.
Tho greatest danger from the tall
buildings appears to bo tho inadequacy
of the fire department system to cope
with fires successfully. Tho wator re
sources nro said to bo deficient, and tho
pipes are not strung or large enough to
meet any unusual demand upon them.
Tho high hills on the outskirts of the
city afford an opportunity for handsomo
architectural effects in residences. Cono
shaped piles of volcanic stono are incor
porated in house plans, and fireplaces
are chiseled out in tho faces of these
needles, and tho effect is striking and
unique.
Many stories of fabulous wealth sud
denly acquired in Spokane Falls are re
lated. One man went to the placo as a
sewing machino agent, and is now rated
as worth several millions realized on
real estato advances. A clergyman who
went to tho frontier post as a missionary
bought a few acres of land for a home,
and is now worth a million dollars. But
tho days for such phenomenal fortunes
so speodily acquired are past, and tho
process of gain is now confined to the
ordinary profits of business.
Socially Spokano is a surprise. Tho
tone of the peoplo is indeed as high as
in tho most conservative eastern city of
equal population. After tho great fire,
when it was a city of tents, gamblers
and adventurers flocked there from
every quarter like a shower of locusts
on Kansas wheatfields; but their career
was cut short by a raid of tho hotter
classes of business men, who arose as an
army of extermination, and literally
swept tho town of disreputable ele
ments as fire had swept tho town of
buildings. Tho gamblers’ places were
raided, their paraphernalia chopped to
pieces, and they were given a reasona
ble time to get out of the town. They
went, standing not on the order of their
goiug.
Spokano is becoming, or now is, the
greatest railroad center west of Milwau
kee and Chicago. Surrounded by a coun
try rich in agricultural, mineral and
timber resources, it is marked os a nat
ural point of supply for a largo territory,
and will rank high as a manufacturing
and jobbing city. The falls afford amplo
water power for running machinery,
and tho people havo the energy and re
sources which ore needed ta push the
fame of the town.
Four prosperous daily papers keep the
people posted, and the merchants appear
to appreciate the use of printer’s ink os
a helper in building up their business.
Some splendidly conducted clubs af
ford to young men a substitute for the
comfortable homes they havo left in the
east. Schools and churches are abun
dant and well supported,

Sirs. William C. Sibley.
Atlanta, Oct. 80.—A bright, resolute
face is that of Mrs. William C. Sib
ley, of Augusta, Ga., the leading wo
man of the south in tho war against
intemperance. Her countenance beams
with the light of her mission, and
her eyes are bravo with the courage
assured success. She is tbo wife of
William C. Sibley, a manufacturer of
sterling character and large wealth, nor
father, Judge Grigsby E. Thomas, was
an honored member of tho Columbus,
Ga., bar, and their luxurious home on
Roso bill, overlooking the city, was, dur
ing his lifetime, tho gathering placo of
tlio intelligence and aristocracy of the
state.
Reared iu luxury, tho possessor now of
wealth and affluent surroundings, this
earnest woman has turned from the al
lurements of fashionable life and its en
grossing claims to give tho energies of
h««r soul and her mind to her arduons
work. Slsu finds nil outlet for her zeal
not alone in her official position in large
organizations, but iu the humble alley-
ways of her husband's large factory
quarters aud among the colored people.
She went once to Columbus, her native,
city, to address by iuvitation the colored
people's stato teacher’s convention.
Writing of this bravo step sho says:
••Soino of iny friends stood aghast, but
it did not move me. 1 went, and no
word of censure has ever been published
against me. Whether it was silenced
by my daring I know not. God knows
why! I only know that I am going
wherever I am sure that God calls me
to either religious, temperance or philan
thropic work*
