are remarkably elegant. Extremists in fash.
ion select brocades-satin brocade for brides
over 20 years of age, and silk brocade for
younger brldes-though plain satin, by con.
ventional content-the one material always
in vogue for the bridal robe-is clamored
for by some; while plain gros grain silk has
its votaries, and India null, Swiss null
and French organdy muslain dresses are
cent out for youthful rustic brides, who do
%notlfeel willing to afford the expense of q
dress more costly.

puts to shame the mipcine who. If ,hey
venture outat all IN bad weather, pick theiI
way as tenderly as If they were walking or

over which she wore a long gray ulster
her head was wrapped in a white cloud
and she carried a small cane, and on her
return had made her good five miles ovel
q rough road. She is also fond of shopping
and has visited a plumber of the leading
dry goods houses. But she does not CON
fine herself to the frst-class houses. A few
day ago she was seen suddenly to stop
before 9 small tin shor. She saw some
thing 10 the window which attracted bel
attention. and after observing it for q mo
N ent, walked into the very humble place
Now what do you suppose bad struck hel

thing. with a capacity of about one cup
and worth about twenty five cents. She
bought il. put 1t in her capacious pocket
and trudged on"
