The silversmith, suspecting that the valuables had been dishonestly ac quired, requested the gendarme to call again in the afternoon, and he would give him a definite answer. The un suspecting robber did and was handed over to a policeman, who at onee identified the articles as be longing to the king. Then for the first time the bhunglary beenme known.

New York, May 29.--Although the horn of plenty seems not to buve been perceptibly diminished, and there are many things in the line of gowns and their details that are vet new. Thin fabrics are ever an active pro vince for improvement and the va- and musiins within the last few 'weeks in really marvellous. The most re cent innovation in batiste shows a bination with silk and satin foularis, peau de soie. tafieta and other silks, for vests, revers, berthas, collarettes and other portions of the bodice and sleeves. In silk musline there is a new shade of soft gern, with embroidered dots of all colors scattered over the surface. A gown of this sort is specially at tractive over cream or white silk and bas a style that is unequalled by any of the brighter colors, But for simplicity, nothing is complete as a pure white silk mushn gown laid in transverse tucks and made without a touch of other trim ming. The skirt has the tucks, half an inch wide, stitched in slanting of fect and arranged to meet evenly at the front. Helow the knees there two graduated flounces of the material, and gathered through the centre, to simulate the effect of rush ing. The bodice is laid in narrow tucks, which run round the figure. While not specially becoming to the woman 0 more charming for women who are tall and slender. The neck is daintily finished with a stock of silk muslin, which fastens at the back under a rosette of the same material. Though expensive when one bas to pay to have it done, ne trimming is a more genergl favorite in Gotham that fagoting for gowns and dainty accessories. The woman who has time and talent to do her own sewing, however, will find it inexpensive and very effective. It is similar to the catch-stitch which our grandmothers knew so well how to make, and is easily accomplished, when one catches the idea. The popularity of fagoting can easily be traced to the prevailing craze for hand work upon gowns. Narrow bands of taffeta joined by fagoting make attractive collar bands, and maby of the most elegant separ ate skirts of the season are also trim med in this way. With these skirts handsome bodices made entirely of bands of silk or canvas joined by fa goting, garnitored at the waist and neck with a band of crushed panne, or one of silk embroidered in French knots. A pretty fad of the year has been the bringing out of new colors almost simultaneously with the fruits they imitate, Just when the delicious réd strawberry appeared in the markets, there was shown among the new soft pilks the most delightful shade of scarlet known as pastol fraise. Now, though it is not new, the cherry of the millinery shop boldly rivals the fruit of the garden, and only a con- noiseur is able to point out the decep- tion, for there are some who really wear cherries as ornaments for the hair, entwined in leaves of green enamel. An expensive fad, but new, and that is the main thing during the monotonous days of summer. Then there is the cherry trimmed dress. A notable design is of green lawn embellished with cherry colored ribbon, Irish guipure and a touch of black here and there to give the ne cessary air of chic te the ensemble. The skirt is plaited and the plaits are held down till near the hem by appli- ques of lace. The bodice is covered with the Irish guipre behind, and ends in a shaped tail-piece at the baek. At the front there ies a vest of the lace over a img over this vest are revers of silk appliqued with medallions of lace set upon small figures of cherry colored ribbon narrow at the front and widening for several inches, at the waist It is noticeable the furor. with revivea. The jewels in évery setting, in pins, chains, ear clasps of chatelaines They are too, outlining the monogram on some of the handsomest parasols. The finest come from In dia and surpass all others in lustre. But: creamy white pearls are not "the only ones which are fashionable, for there are some very' pretty ones of pink, bronze and black, placed in eof- fective settings. There are. imita- tions, of course, and very clever ones and the woman who cannot afford the genuine article does not hesitate to affect ghe counterfeit. . Except to the experienced eve, the observer is seldom nny the wiser. The nearest to the "real thing," as it is expressed in common parlance, are pompadour pearls. These are made from the skins of slightly im- perfect pearls, deftly fitted over 5 tiny piece of mother-of-pearl. They are seldom used in chains, but for earrings and finger rings are much in favor, The time for' replacing the walking skirt of cloth by the linen des is by su new walking skirt which A seen, same i= true of the basket lin- £3 ubt will prove great favorites.
