Tbe rules which govern the dress to be worn on different occasions are very arbitrary, and especially so as regards that j is suitable for the street. -&&jjjjmmamlmm Cloth or camel'aHlaresseg have bands of astrakhan around the skirt at tbe hem, or elaborate braiding or embroidery in a plain baud or in Vandykes. Just at what degree the expan sion of the shoulders of dresses and cloaks will stop is hard to pre dict. The higher tbe shoulders the more stylish the garment. Cloaks cut in plain circular ash ion, bave full shoulders made with puffs, and mostlaborateltrimmed with grimp fringe and cord orna ments. It is said that Spanish Mantilla is to be worn at the theater, instead of a bonnet. A handsome pair of stockings are Nile-green silk, richly embroidered with pink roses. A pretty engagement ring is two rubies set heart shape, and sur rounded by oriental pearls. A rich looking bonnet is made of red velvet, and is entirely covered with a network of black Jet. Another handsome bonnetis blue velvet, covered with a network of pearls, ostrich tips complete the trimmings. One of the latest evenincr cos-. tumes is a bordered skirt with a: thick ruche of feather trimmings and silver passe-menterie. The bodice is of figured gauze, arranged in folds, ornamented with silver passementerie and epaulette sleoves Another handsome toilette is of striped. green and black brocade shot with shades of heliotrope.

Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It is so anauged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cnttiug the same in any way, right out in the street. It can be takeu off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitch ing aud unhitching as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is re movable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over oth ers consists in the construction of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has been heretofore necessary iu order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached linos 28, said lines be ing connected witb the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes numanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, aud the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a side and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day.
