read somewhere lately futile attempt at
definition OF the word fashion" 1t is an i'm
possible task to put 1t in words, but we see 1t in
facts every day OF our lives. But when has such
a striking Illustration of it been shown in any
twelvemOnth as during that Just past? One
short year ago women wore the Sheath-ltke cos
tune, trimmed all over in patchwork style, with
lcng, cloSe-fitt1ng basques, and not sail about
now-but let me describe beautiful lady who
rode up town in horse car opposite me the
other day. She was tall and graceful, and a
blonde. The skirt of her dress was of fine, soft,
was perfectly plain, without sign of trimming
Of any sort, and was hemmed at the bottom In
stead of being braided. There was an overdress
OF some black material in points at the sides, and
when she rose to leave the car. AS she sat, only
the plain gray skirt was seen below the black silk
mantle trimmed with rich fringe. She wore
broad brimmed black felt hat, set back on the
the forehead, and waved away from the face in
the style OF five years ago, and trimmed with
long black ostrich plume, dropping over the
right side O. the hat br1m its entire length, the

ard the tiniest Of diamond studs in her ears,
completed tbs simple costume. But, beneath

what are we to believe In this matter? One au-
thority says positively that hoops are not going
to be worn. Another, just as reliable, says that
they are and not so slowly either, being adopted
by fashionable ladies on both sides of the At
lantic. Certainly the revival Of plain skirts
would give some colorsto the latter statement,
very well unaided. But there Is time enough.
One need not hasten to adopt such an innova-
ton In dress, and especially those who remem-
Der by experience the last reign Of that despotic
monarch, the boopsklrt, will not be too ready

MY LOSS.


IFrom the Boston Transcript
Day after day while at my window sitting,
Isee the children at their play near by;
Like butterflies in Summer gardens hitt1nR,
They hover round beneath my watchfui eye.
The little girh with flushed and merry faces,
(lar re 81 me shy'y for my answering smile,
And tsmrt me with their Inoet allur1nE Sraces
To put FAD thou ghts away while they beguile.
Blonde hsir Bnd brown in soft confusion blending
Black and blne uuturned to meet my gaze,
Roses both white aud pink their contrast lending,
To add new beauty to the 'wildering maze.
But when they one by one, tired out with playing,
Steal slowly hons u ard through the sunset light,
Memory goes back beyond the dark years, straying
Among the days Of yore that seem so bright
turn my head, radiant golden splendor
And glorifies face dvinely tender,
fall
With violet eyes winsome in their sweetness,
That mine grow smiling in spite eff grief and pain,
With curved lips, the seal of loves completeness;
All, heaven, could but press them once again.
In vain watch and wait. she will come only
When night has cast her spell on sea and shore;
Then when sleep and dream, no longer lonely,
- She comes to feed my hungry heart once moro.
Wis then and only then that behold her;
Her dear voice floats around me soft and low;
IT'S then, and only then. my arms enfold her,
The little girl lost so long ago.
