Stripes are still in vogue, but less in silks
than last year.
Evening dresses are made extremely
decollete, but with a train long enough to
compensate for the scantiness of the cor
sage. Tarlatan il trimmed with many
narrow flounces. headed by Il row OF lace
or Il wreath of flowers Wide sashes of
broeaded ribbon are worn. and all evening
costumes should have large flowing sleeves.
One of the prettiest novelties for dinner or
evening toilette is the lace peplum, made
Of black or white guipure, and worn over
Il ow-neckcd and short-sleeved dress.
Necklaces are much used, even with the
high cOrSage.
Outside garments for summer are cut in
all sorts of fanciful shapes, and heavily
trimmed. Some have points on the hips,
and are short at the front and back; some
have many small points, and a few are cut
in the basquine form and trimmed with
hretelles of velvet or lace. Nearly all
have the large loose sleeve, which Is more
graceful for a sack than for a dress, and

endon, in his essay OH the decay OF respect
paid to old age, says that, in his Younger
days, he never kept his hat on before those
older than himself, ercept at dinner. In
the present day, the wearing of it at din
ner would be thought more disrespectful
than at any other time.
George ", when Prince of Wales used
to return the bows of all persons in the
street except beggars He justified this
opinion by remarking that to return beg
gar's bow without giving him anything,
would be mockery, and TO stop for the
purpose of bestowing a sixpence would
seem ostentatious in prince.
Sir Robert Graham being apprised that
he had, by mistake, pronounced sentence
of transportation on a criminal who had
been found guilty of capital offense, de-
sired the man to again be placed in the
dock, and hastily putting on the black cap,
he said, = Prisoner at the bar, 1 beJ your
pardon," and then passed on him the awful
sentence of death. \ country carpenter

replied, I'm very sorry; for had [ known

Notwithstanding the fury with which the
battle of Fontenoy was contested. it began
with great show of civility. Lord Charles
Hay captain of the English guards, ad-
vanced before the ranks, and Count d'Au-
teroche, lieutenant of grenadiers in the
French guards, stepped forward to meet
him. &" Fire gentlemen of the French
guards exclaimed the English captain.
- No, my lord replied the French lieu
tenant, we never fire first" This reminds
US of an anecdote told of Curran, who, be-
ing called out to give satisfaction TO an Off
Ger for some imaginary offense, was told by
his antagonist to fire first, which he declin-
ed, saying, As You gave the invitation, [
beg you will open the ball" At the battle
of Trata gar, a generous British sailor,
seeing brother tar bleeding profusely
from severe wound. ran to his assistance.
He had no sooner raised him from the deck
on which he fell. than the wounded man
said, Thank you, Jack, and, please God,
I'll do the same for you before the fights

apologetically began the Doctor, wiping
his forehead with a red and yellow banda

the committee.
The methodical Deacon Folsom came to
the rescue

Bloomfield miqht conclude to make, if he
had not already made, such a proposal to

icate-but in case such proposal IS made

church committee will be particularly

This was the time when the old back
store turned into Il bower-when lilies
hlossomed out Of coils of rope and coal-oil
turned into after of roses. Mrs. Summer
bell went home in ii car drawn by white
doves and was met at the gate by three
little cupids, whom she kissed dozens of
times and loved with all her heart, they

And when the minister came in that

stances in both lives which depressed and
panied They learned to hold each other
very dear. Upon this state Of things broke
the ru,nor of the recovered Scotchman's re-
turn. after AN absence of more than two
years. The delicate nature ot the woman
sank under it, Betrothed to two, both of
whom she loved, she had no choice but to
die. ndcr the conflict of feeling, Mr.
Lincon's own reason gave way He plead
ed iii his despair for one last interview,
which, long refused, was at last granted,
before she died. III -tugust 1896. That
the shock given tn his powerful mind WAS Il
severe one, his subsequent life was to show.
Twice. in crises of great suffering, the un-
reasoning despair returned, and from that
moment he lost his moral poise for years
All the resources Of the neighborhood We're
exhausted to restore him to himself. How
he who had been absent loved Ann. let the

sake, and lives there still, an old bachelor.
His quivering hand pointed out. not long
ago, the very spot where she died.
Mr. Lincoln's tastes were quiet and do
nestle. Had he married Ann Rutledge, it
i. not likely he would have continued in
political life. He would have tasted the
cup of happiness, and it would have been
enough The love and death of this girl, =
said Mr. Hcrndon, shattered Mr.. Lin
coins purpose and tendencies. He threw
off his infinite sorrow only by leaping wild
ly into the political arena" He needed, >

from despair"
For myself 90 farther and deeper. Up
to this period his habits had been simple
and pure But trial unhinged him, made
his own life matter Of Indifference to him
made him for years reckless, despairing and
atheistic. His strength and his weakness
came to him in this hour for the death OF
the girl was. as Charles Sumner said, '.nc
accident" Through it he learned to un-
der>tand himself, and then to understand
others 1t was very gradually that he
came to conquer the revolt of his own soul
1t was that work, well done, which final
fitted him to conquer other men. 1t was
