My time is not limited on this jonrney, and I therefore have more opportunities than ever to pay close attention as to what is worn and how it is made. For the present nun’s veiling, ii. dll shades, takes the lead for spring and sommer wear; both light and dark are used for street dresses. The form er you see mostly trimmed in cream laces, while the latter have wide striped nun’s veiling to match. This trimming is rather a rare luxury, and therefore some suits arc relieved by the same material of a different shade, or bands of silk. There is another fabric called Italian satin; it looks like sum mer silk, which, is entirely new this season, and takes very much, as it can be washed. In grenadines and bantings black is, as usual, the. favorite, worn mostly with skirts of silk, satin moire; the silks are generally in three immense puffs across the front with Spanish lace between, while the backs have fancy draperies or very large sashes. The shonldera in the waists are very narrow, so as to allow the tight sleeve to come in in perfect shape. The aieeSeT - therefore, forms part of the shoulder. The basqnes, which often hare pleats in the back, have three rows of small buttons in front, thug one row each side, besides those for the .button holes; others are double- breasted, with two»rows of large but tons. . For summer, silks and satins, polka dot, plaid and . checked are seen, often with entirely different jackets, from the skirts. Gray linen suits, trimmed in lace to match, are made np in great number. They have three wide pleats up the front, pleated jackets-and belt of the same. For the house the plain linen collar is used as much as' ever. For dress,' Philadelphia Record.' The success of a surgical operation performed some time ago by Dr. William S. Forbes, professor of anatomy at the Jefferson Medical College, demonstrates a way in which musicians may overcome the necessity of years of constant prac tice to destroy the rigidity which naturally exists in the third or ring finger. This normal infirmity has always been the great drawback to students. To obtain h thorough knowledge of the theory of music, flexibility and ease in the movement of the the third finger is absolutely required. The subject was brought to the attention of Dr. Forbes by Professor Zeckwer, a music teacher. The phy sician gave the assurance that if a subject was procured, he would demonstrate that with a not very painful surgical operation the finger could be brought under control. five cents, please.” This -time the Ihe Mother Hubbard by ladies and misses.

Upon the death of Matron Foster,'after thirty-six years "of service, became' the duty of the Po lice Justices to consider which, of her two assistants should fill the va cant position. They decided upon Miss French, but that lady declined, and insisted that her associate, Miss Adamson, shonld be the new Matron. Thereupon an unprecedented scene occurred. The two women, with tears and supplications, appealed -to the Magistrates to give the better position to her friend, not to her self. The matter was finally com promised by Miss Adamson accept ing the post of Matron, with the un derstanding that Miss French shonld get half the salary. The hardened Police Magistrates were seen to wipe their eyes during the generous contest between the women, and probably nothing exactly like it has over occurred in the history of American official patronage.
