,eli,ses ara simply lined with dark green

pelisses are simply lined with dark green
silk. and have a plush bordering around
the edges about six inches deep The sleeves
are IN psgeds style, deeply curved and ex-
tremely graceful in shape
Sprays of fine flowers, like forget-me-
nots, lilies of the valley, mountain daisies,
rose buds, and tiny green leaves, violets, ar
butus blossoms and the like, made of semi
precious stones Of color matching that of
the flower they represent, are made into
brooches and lace pins. and are taking the
place of the jeweled-eyed animals, insects,
and ssrpents SO long in favor.
All the spring wooden materials are very
soft and supple, drsPing gracefully, and
light in weight. The principal colors are
royal blue, and seal and golden brown. Many
of the designs are in large checks Of two
shades, usually dark grounds with lighter
hsir lines intersecting, or with pointslIes of
bright color at unequal distances. The cos
TUNES composed of these tissues are simple
in style, many having the skirt plated at
full length, and tunic lined with plain
sursh of bright shade of cspucine grenet
or old gold merveilleux. Velvet, or velve-
teen of the best quality, are very fsshionably
employed with wooden materials, either in
large portions like bodice panels, and wide
revers, or as crossway bands, collars, cuff,
and pelerihe.
The shape of the new spring bonnets is
medium. No bonnets so tiny as the small
capotes which have been popular this win
ter are shown, and no huge pokes like those
Of last season are thus far imported. The
new bonnets are ornate with flowers and q
plentiful mixture of gold tinsel. Colored
straws in every shade and tint are shown in
proiusion. A season of flowers is predicted
ana the dsndelion is the flower of the sea-
son. Little clusters of the blossoms are
mou ted on the top rim OF the bonnet
mixed with pompons and ribbon, or two
shades of the flower in ribbon-the pale
lemon like tint of the edge OF the petals and
and the darker orange shade of the centre
of the blossom are used. An exquisite little
cottage bonnet of HAVANA brown straw is
trimmed on the brim with mass of gold
colored pompops, ostrich tips, dandelions,
flowers, buds and leaves, ana rosette-like
bow of gold velvet at one side. Strings
of gold velvet two inches wide finish the
bonnet.

of these / removed the scent bags, but the
greater number were left In q state of nature.
None ever emitted any odor, although . cou-
pie of them, when half grown, used to assume
painfully suggestive attitudes on the too near
approach of strangers, so suggestive indeed,
that their visitors commonly beat basty re-
treat. These same skunks would climb up
my legs, and get into my arms; they liked to
be caressed. and never offered to bite. If &C.

reasonable days work be contrived. and

task long before night that you must keep
drudging on, hunting up new things to do,
not laid down in the days programme
unless you want to wind up with fresh.
clean house and the wreck of woman to
enjoy it. Although the cbier work of wo-
men is necessarily indoors, the tact should
not prevent them from taking the open
air in all proper weather. in rides, walks,
or in the garden. To this end, throw
aside all extra work, eschew knitting lace
edgings, making tattipg, crocheting and
all other fancy work. Fresh air is essential
to health. 1t will invigorate the system
and give strength for the performance of
indispensable daily labor, and health to
undergo the fatigues OF the coming hot
weather.

The duty of being cheerful is one which
is at all times binding upon us. We have
no right to be morose or sullen, or accus-
tom ourselves to look on the dark side of
things. No sense of solemnity and i'm
portance of lie can excuse us for giving
away to sour and unhappy temper
Though sadness must at times fall across
our path, and our hearts and souls be often
impressed with the weight and serious
ness OF imposed duty or of surrounding
circumstances, yet sadness and seriousness
ought by no means to be considered
synonomeus with gloom and dependency
From the exercise of trustfulness and
cheerfulness. in higa and true sense. we
are never absolved whatever discourage.

Young girls don't allow yourselves to
fall into untidy habits. If you have not
an inherent love of cleanliness, cultivate
it. Ii you have but three calico frocks,
you can be as neat as If your wardrobe

siderable emphasis "that she did not con-

morning fit to associate with" At the
time we thought our friend too fastidious
aud her language much too strong.
Granted that taking in its literal sense,
the remark was overdrawn, we beg to
say that to our mind there is nothing
more displeasing than an untidy woman,
old or young Hair full of dust, shoe
buttons pinned on, nails with black rims,
clothes iil-fitting, basted and pinned, in
fact there is no limit to the untidiness that
person will fall into who is given to
this sort of thing.
