The editor of the Christian COM
n1onwealh, being asked if it is right for
Christians to read novels, answers as
follows: 1--WE do not see any more
wrong in reading a novel than in read
ing anything else. provided that novel
is worth reading at all. Truth may be
set forth in fiction in very forcible
way. The parallels of the New Tesla
ment are for the most part doubtless
constructed with imaginary characters,
but they are for the purpose of teaching
some important truth. When novel
does the same thing it may be read with
profit Still, we do not recommend The
reading of novels where the tendency is
to DESTROY the taste for more substan-
tal reading" sse s8 tat uale

One of the novelties is the entire bon.
net of soutache braid made VITA row
after row of the narrowest wool braid,
beginningin the center Of the crows,
and extending in circles to the edge q
the brim. This comes in the darkcloth
colorsA dahlia, golden brown, myrtle
green, or sapphire-and may have a
little silver or gilt mixed with it. 1t is
an excellent bonnet to wear with cloth
costumes that are trimmed with SOU
tache. and there is also another fancy
for making it to wear with an India
shawl by trimming it with the new
mel's-hair lace that shows all the rich
colOrs that are wrought in India
shawls: thus on sober
brown soutache bonnet is a jabot of this
richly colored lace across the brim. with
a cluster OF pompOns OF red and gold
tinsel high on the left side, and roll OF
bias velvet on the edge of the brim.
Another novelty is the wOrsted bon
net. made of the embroidery wor>teds
laid closely on a frame in single threads
to make stripes, ball patterns, cheeks,
or blocks of two or three shades of one
color. The crown has usually design
Of its own, sometimes of dots, while the
brim may be plain or striped, and these
unique bonnets are also especially APP
propriatc for wool dresses. Birds,
wings, tinsel or feather pompons, and
velvet ribbon for rOsettes and strings,
are the trimmings.
Silver braid bOnnets are preferred to
those of gold braid worn last year: The
fancy for grsy brings these silver braids
into favor, and they are made youthful
looking by trimmings of green, brilliant
red, or blue velvet laid in thick rouleau
near the crown, with a puff OF velvet on
the brim, and cluster of green hum
ming birds on the left side. The chenille
bonnets are the most Varied of the inn
portations. and are sometimes made OF
chenille intertwined with cords of pas
sementcric. or with spiked jets wrough,
in the crown, or with a crown of chenille
and velvet front: or else this is reversed,
and the brim is covered with a braid OF
three strands of chenille plated together,
and the crown is velvet. with perhaps
some embroidery of chenille. The new
est felts have rows of tinsel cord in cir
Giles, beginning on the crown. The
camel s-hair bOnnets, made of strips OF
a felt-like material, plated with chenille
or paSsementerie cords. were introduced
last winter. Ecru kid crowns and
whole bonnets of kid were also worn
last year. and now alligatOr-skins OF
varied makings are used in their natural
colors, and in darker brown and green.

Holding the Re;nS.

A good driver always grasps the
rein so that it passes into the hand I'M
der the little finger, the ends of the
fingers after the hand is closed upon
the reins, being in a perpendicular line.
This gives a vice-like grip which it Is
almost impossible fo4 the leather to
slip through. But the wrong habit
young drivers, and especially ladies,
fall into, is to catch the rein in such a
way that when it enters the hand it first
passes over the forefinger; when held
in that way it is very hard to keep it
from slipping. and SO it happens that
when an excited horse gives quick
jerk and the lady feels the lines slip
she thinks her strength is inadequate.
loses her presence of mind, and in a
few minutes somebody's hurt. If per-
sons knew how awkward poor driver
looks they would try to improve.
There's nothing more ridiculous than
green driver with his arms stretched
away out in front pushing on the
lines" On the other hand, there is no
more pleasing sight than to see a well
trained driver, and especially in the
person of a pretty girl, sitting erect,
with hands close to her slender waist,
the re n curling cutely over her delicate
thumb, and the whip grasped firmly,
archihg over the horses back, thread
her way without nervousness or fear
through narrow, crowded streets, or on
broad avenues, leaving her timid friends
behind. In England fox hunting has
such hold upon the people that a girl
is taught to ride almost before she
learns anything else. In France the
pleasure of individual driving has never
worked its way into the French wom-
ans mind In this country there is
change coming, but it is scarcely yisi-
bic at present except at the fashionable
centers, where q few, of the leading
ladies' are noted horsewomen. A New
York lady enjoys almost as much dis
tinction as Queen, simply because she
knows how to dispense with the serv
ices of a coachman and tone up her
system by manipulating the ribbons
over trotter's back as she flies along
the ocean drives.-N Y. Star.

The Peril Of Bangles.

Bangle-wearing is again becoming
fashionable. Young ladies' arms are
beginning to look more than ever like
the arms of malefactors loaded with fet-
ters- Charles, Albert, Willis, Fred,

on, to add TO bracelets and necklaces.
The reviving passion for bangles is
probably innocent enough in itself. But
it has been the means of leading an
honest tradesman to the very thresh-
old of the State Prison, and of plung.
ing worthy and affectionate family
into grief.
An industrious and enterprising Yam.
kee in Massachusetts, marking the
growing passion, conceived the idea
that it would be Just the thing to sup
lily the beleaguered SWANS with cheap
imitation of five-dollar gold pieces, on
which they might have their initials en-
graved for presentation to their fair
suppliants. So he had die made after
the pattern of five-dollar coin, struck
off number of metal pieces. and care
fully plated them with gold until they
looked the counterpart of so many coins
fresh from the mint. Just as he was
prepared to put them on the market it
was suggested to him that he might be
favored with visit from the police
and trial before a United States Court.
The Mortified jeweler at once came to
New York, visited the Chief of the
United States Detective Service here.
and told him his dilemma The jeweler
was informed that he had narrowly es-
capped free board at the Governments
expense. But as the man was evidently
honest, he was told that his only penal
ty would be the surrender of the dies
and all the medals, and the loss Of their
cost and his time. Delighted with such
an easy settlement, the alarmed Yankee
readily complied with the terms, and
the imitation gold pieces. instead OF
adjoining the arms of budding beauties,
were ruthlessly cast into smelling pot.
But for this contsetemps they might
have melted hearts instead of being
themselves melted, and have led many
young persons into the bonds Of matri-
mony, instead of releasing one individ-
ual from the danger of bonds of a very
different description.-N. T. World.

Autumn and Winter BOnnets.

Openings of autumn and winter bon
nets at the leading millinery houses
show the small shapes and simple trim
mings announced several weeks ago.
These small bonnets will prevail to the
exclusion of pokes. though there are al
ways larger sizes for elderly women
and for those who need greater warmth
and protection for the head. The nov
elites in millinery are therefore not
found in new shapes, but in the variety
and richness of the fabrics used. Hlth-
erto winter bonnets were limited to
those of felt, velvet or plush. but now
there is an endless variety of wool and
silk and metal braids used, with rich
embroideries, cords and chenille; and
dress fabrics of all kinds, from cloth to
velvet, are fashioned into stylish ben
nets that match the costume with which
they are worn. There are also many
bonnets imported without trimming,
but so nearly complete in them selves
that it is a very easy matter to add the
simple garniture needed.

suffering from the fatigues and priva-
tons inseparable from the life. of an
active propa.~andist, had become still
further enfeebled by his long imprison-
ment, and he never fully recovered
from the effects of his terrible leap from

Franjoli that his whereabouts had be-
come known to the police, and that he
must instantly remove to fresh quar-
tiers, he could hardly walk, and it was
only by sort of miracle that they con-
trived to evade the spy by whom they
were tracked. Yet, despite his suffer-
ings, aggravated by the dangers to
which he was exposed, and the entreat-
les of his fellow-workers. he refused to
retire from the contest. In the courage
OF this young man, stricken with a
mortal malady, as weak as child, and

something superhuman and almost sub
