FALL STYLES. What will b« Worn by Lafiirs on their ^iutrmlug Little Ueotl-t. 'From Cialli^aiii s idasanBUki. Paris., The milliners, as is asaal, are the tirst to enter the tleld with new styles for the com- ing season. Despite the warm weather, which renders difficult a just appreciation of hats in felt and bonnets in Telvet, and of fur bands for trimming, it must be con- fessed that the new winter fashions for headgear are very tasteful. Velvet, dotted with minute spangles in gold, silver or steel, or embroidered with gold thread and spangles, forms the richest material for bonnets. Bands of astrakhan or s>-alkin or of curled ostrich feathers will be ituchused for trimming. Felt hats and bonnets in white or pale gray are shown, the former trimmed with pale gray satin ribbon and ostrich tips of the same hue. White felt bonnets with brims in ruby or sapphire %tl. vet are very successful. There is but little variation in the shapes of the winter bon- nets so far. The close capote form, and that with a pointed brim and with ilat sides, maintain their place in popular favor.j Low CRoWN.S FiJB H.*TS. Hats will be worn with much lower crowns than they were last season. The prevailing form will be the cavalier shape, with low set crown and a wide brim raised at the back and held in place by a bow of satin ribbon. In white felt, with the inside of the brim of a delicate grey and all the trimmings in the latter hue, this style is peculiarly elegant. To<iue hats, with the crown high in front and sloping downward to the brim at the back are also shown. A bonnet with the crown and sides in black velvet, embroidered with jet and and having the front in a lattice work pat- tern of jet beads and bugles, was trimmed with three or four e-xquisite deep pink roses and buds without foliage. Pheasant and peacock plumage will be a good deal used 111 the construction of bonnets, the former iu combination with chestnut brown velvet and the latter with dark green. 'iAIZE SCmr VElL-l. Scarfs of tulle or of gauze are now a good deal worn with the new sailor shaped hats. I >ne end of the scarf is attached to the inner edge of the crown at the back, and it is then wound loosely around the wearer's throat. Sometimes two long narrow scarfs insteadiof one wide one are employed. These Ae crossed under the clun and the ends arl tlirown over the shoulders; but the douMe scarf is less graceful than the single ono.."«Creaui white or pale straw color are the usual shades employed, but when the hat is iu red or niar:ue blue straw red gauze is useo with very excellent eifect. PVR.ISOL.-. The gauze and tulle parasols have wholly vanished, anii have been replaced by thote in blue tatTetas, or in black and white pekin, with the striiies made up around the frame. A very elegant sts le of parasol is in black tatfetas or black satin, painted by hand in one of its divisions with a large cluster of pale tinted roses, with buds and foliage. The parasol is tin'shed with deep rulileiiof Chantiliy lace. Birds are occa- sionally used to decorate the apex of the parasol, but the fashion is more eccentric than elegant, especially when \<;ry large birds, such as doves or parotjuets, are thus wn ployed. .\ costume lately remarked at Trouville was in an entirely novel style. It was composed of a long polonaise, or rather princess cut dress in white voile, slightly draped over a plaited skirt of the same material. It was bordered ail round with a worsted lace of a telegram blue color and of a Gothic pattern, having long i>oiuts iu the upper edge, which they let into tl^e material, thus foruiing deep scollops bordered with the lace. The sleeves were shirred to the elbow, and were finished with full rultles edged with the lace. The corsage was also shirred in front in full narrow plaits from the throat to the waist. From Kiigland comes a new and artistic idea for ladies' dress, which is to wear toilets in white or in black tatfetas [tinted by hand with designs of flowers in water color. t)ue of these dresses, which was simple in style, but elaborately painted. was in white taffetas, the skirt covered with four gathered flounces pinked at the edge. Fach flounce was bordered with a garland of wild roses painted in water colors. A very wide sssh of the same silk was looped at the back of the skirt and was painted to correspond, the garland running through the centre of the sash. The corsage was cut open in a V shape, and had a spray of wild roses paiuted at one side on the tlat bias folds of silk that edged the opening FEMALE KLEPTOMAMACH. How Women Id Pollto t-oelety 6«t the Bent uf TraUesuiun and Friend. The world would be surprised to know how many kleptomaniacs there are in polite society. A well-known 4ry goods man says he has a customer who steals about as regularly as she purchases. He makes out a rough estimate of her pilfer- ings, and the bill is never disputed by her husband, who knows too well that the demands are just. There is a young mar- ried woman in one of the wealthiest fami- lies, who can spend a fortune a year on little things, and yet she will pick up and appropriate the merest trifles. She despoils her friend's parlor of small arti- cles. A wotk-basket is a happy hunting ground for her. On an easy calculation she must have one hundred pairs of scis- sors. In any of the houses where she habitually calls, if needles, threads and thimbles are missing, the inquiry is heard : " Has Mrs. btea here this morning ? " A Broadway baker, to whose shop it is the custom for ladies to go to luncheon, has the family of this kleptomaniac among bis customers. He makes oat his monthly bill for all that he leaves at the house, and then puts in the mysterious charge : " Lunch loss, 525." She is in the habit of going to the Broadway establish- ment, eating a couple of dollars' worth, and then greeting the cashier with an inventory of 50 cents' worth. She will smilingly point out doaghnuts and crullers and an occasional ginger snap as having formed her meal ; whereas, she has steadily eaten her way round the shop, munching' 10 cent tarts and 15 cent eclaires. It would never do to let her loose in the wine cellars, as the trusting Dublin restaurant keepers do with their customers. There are many places in honest old Dublin where you take your glass and go by yourself to the moldy old cobwebbed cellar, sorrouuaed oy casks on whose aged head you can read the legend of their vintage. Vou make your selection, help yourself, go b.ick to the sim- ple landlord in the little tap room above •tairs, tell him what you have drunk, have a settlement, and go \our wav. Our New York young lady would spen.i an afternoon sampling, come up plum lull of Lachryma Christi, and tender the deluded boniface the price of one glass of cider. A dressmaker was telling of her troubles. A wealthy lady was shown into a parlor, the other day, and left for a few minutes to herself. .Just before this visit another customer had bought some rare lace to use in the manufacture of a Kali dress. This was carelessly thrown into the upper drawer of a cabinet. When, a few minutes later, it was brought to the workroom, the forewoman sent word that the juantity was insufficient for the design, and the owner was notitied. The lady came promptly. She had measured the lace herself, bought it herself, and if there were tive yards to the 'oad, it !'ad lieen taken in the bouse. But that was iu'i^oseible, urged the dressmaker, as no one had been in the room but Mrs. , and not one of the employees. â-  .Say no more." laughed the owner of the lace. â- â€¢ We Imow where the lace is, if Mrs. has been iii its neighborhood. ' The poor dressmaker had her eyes opened to many a petty loss sinoa the kleptomaniac had favored her with kor custom, but she had a good deal of lAivr^ She took the '* remnant of lac-e and roA in a Fifth avenue stage to Fiftieth street.

So the thief, professing ' astonishment at her carelessness, went oif I and found that snch an accident hail really occurred, handed over the lace, and there the matter ended. â€" .V. n- IV* Letter. MABK TWAIN <» COUBTSHIP. A List of LIurti Furnished to Hl« Proapect- ive Father-ln-Law. Mark Twain has been the subject of many good stories iu his time, and the appended one from the Indianapolis Jmimal. about a trying moment in his courtship, is worth reproducing : \i everyone knows, Mr. Clemens tirst met his beautiful wife while on the famous voyage of the Quaker City, and he pursued his actjuaintauce after their return so closely that at last the young lady s papa one day called the ardent and devoted Mark into his private study and said, after some preamble : " Mr. Clemens, I have some- thing to say to yoa which bears upon a sub- ject of grave importance, at least to me and mine. You have been coming here for some time, and your manners leave no doubt in my mind as to your object. Now, my daughter s welfare is very dear to me, and before I can admit you to her society on the footing of a suitor to her band I would like to know something more than I do about you. your antecedents, etc. Stop a minute ! Yoa must remember that a man must be a 'good fellow' and a pleasant companion on a voyage and all that, but when it is a question as grave as this a wise father tries to take every precaution before allowing his daughter's affections to be- come engaged, and I ask of you, as a gentle- man, that yoa shall give me the names of some of your friends in California to wJiom I may write and make such inquiries as I deem necessary, that is, if you still desire our friendship. " It was now Mark Twain's turn. •â-  Sir, " said he, bowing profoundly, as became a young man who respects his hoped-for father- in- law, " your sentiments are in every way correct. I approve of them myself, and hapten to add that you have not been mistaken in my sentiments toward your daughter, whom I may tell you candidly seems to me to be the most perfect of her sex, and I houor your solici- tude for her welfare. I am cot only per- fectly willing to give you references, but am only too glad to have an opportunity tu do so, which my natural modesty would have prevented me from offering. There- fore permit nie to give you the names of a few of my friends. 1 will write them down. First is Lieut. General .John McComb. .\le.\ander Badlam. General Lander and Colonel W. H. L. Barnes. They will all lie for Die just as I would for them under like circumstances." This conclusion broke the old man all up. and he never asked more references nor wrote to those gentlemen.

The Venetian goudoliera have struck. objecting to a night service lately estab- lished on the Grand Canal. .•Mtogether the labor market in Venice is in rather a disturbed condition, for the bakers are out on strike and the vraiters threaten to follow guit. One of the most amusing incidents of this non-copyright perioti, says the literary editor of the New Y'ork Tribune, is the solemn advertisement of the California adapter of Rider Haggard's "She" announcing that he has sold a share of his dramatization, has copyrighted the same and will prosecute anybody infringing upon it. So that if Mr. Haggard attempted to bring out in this country an adaptation by himself of his own book he could be legally forbidden to make aae of his own property. FruAeu Meats lo Mberltt.

Nearly all butchers kill at the I beginning of cold weather a surticient nuni- I her of animals to furnish provisions for the , entire winter and allow the meat to freeze. j There is no fear of any fooil changing in I such a temperature. The flsh become so I solid and stiff that they are set up on their tails against the walls of the markets, be : the tail ever so long and the tish ever so heavy. Often fruits preserved in ice are placed upon the table of the Siberian evening meal, the method of keeping them being similar to that eraploved with meats. As soon as the severe cold seta iu they are exposed to the air, if possible toward the north, where there is no sun to reach them ; they thus become completely frozen. When eaten they are found to have retained their flavor marvellously, notwithstanding their change from a frozen rigidity to the thawed state necessary for use. .Vt the moment of being served they are usually as hard as wood, anci. if they chance to fall, rattle like stones upon the floor. The heat of the room ^ndiially softens them and assume their original form.â€" l't>u(/i'.< Com- panion.

CaroeKle'M Scuttinh Pun'hift««^ It is announced that Mr. .\nilrew Carnegie is about to purchase Aboyne Castle, the magniticent estate of tlie Mar>|uis of Huntly. who passed through New York about a fortnight ago on his way to England. The sale, if it does take place, is more likely to benefit Lord Huntl>'3 creditors than himself, for there is hardly a sijuare foot of the domain which is not overburdened with heavy mortgages. There really seems to be a kind of curse resting on this Gordon faniily. one of the noblest and most ancient in Scotland. The Marquis is the head of theclan.

The advantages of low ceilings for dwell- ings, on account of their being more readily and completed ventilated than dwellings that are hith ceiled. are now very generally sdmit!«l by builders and sanitarians. The view taken of ih.^ matter, from the stand- point of heal". I. is, briefly, that the leakage of air which is always goicij on keeps all parts of the air in motion in such rooms, wheresas, if the ceiling is higher, only the lower part of the air is moved, and an in- verted ^ke of foul and hot air is left float- ing in Se space above the window tops. To have the currents of fresh air circulat ing only in the lower parts of the room, while the upper portion of the air is left unaffected, is really the worst way of ven- tilating, for the stagnant atmospheric lake under the ceiling, althooKh tnBlionlenB, keeps actively at work under the law f the diffusion of gases, fouling the fresh cur- rents circulating' beneath it. With low peilin(.;^ an-l hiyh windows no such accu- mulation of air is possible, for the whoie hei(4ht oi the room is swept by the currents as the dust of the iloor is swvpt with a broom, .\gaiii. it is urged in behalf of low ceilingi that they possess the advsnta^je of enabling rooms to be wantied with I'-ss ex- penditure of heat and less cost for fuel. -Ill ItitercftliOK Family.

" Ethel was dressing for the party in her room and was all ready save for the roses, wheu an awful sound was heard through the house, evidently some one tambling downstairs. Into the hall all rushed. It was cook, who had gone up to her room in a dapping pair of loose old shoes and had slipped on the polished stairs. Her ankle was sprained, and when laid upon a lounge she uttered awful moans and sighs, until Ethel, arriv- ing with a bottle of liniment and a towel picned about her waist, assuaged the anguish. 'â- Ethel,' cried her aant, "you'll spoil your clothes and your nails. " But Ethel never heeded. She ministered to cook, who gradually grew black and blue all over, until at last that happened which Aunt Fleming had prophesied. Over went the bottle, and down the side breadth of the amber silk poured a greasy flood of most unpleasant odor. • I told you so 1 It 18 done f'jr '. What will you do .' ' cried Aunt Fleming.
