For the Ladies.-Anything on the subject OF
bonuets and hats always interests the ladies' and
therefore We reprint the following from Hd'per's
Baznr of November 18th, which may be relief
upon as "the very latest - "For young and
piouant faces the Gsh-wite poke is used. with its
pointed brim turned back slightly, and filled in
with n bow IF gay velvet Of gilt braid This
is not the large poke worn last winter, but is so
small that it adds very little more to the size Of
the head than the smallest cap0te. full crown
of dark v. lvet with the brim cove. ed with lace
either silk, Angora WOOL gilt lace-makes
youthful and pretty poke bonnet to wear on dress
occasions, and should be chosen with reference to
the wrap or the costume that accompanies it,
The cresson green with yellow tinges appears as
part of such pokes, and poppy red velvet ribbon
is much used for the saucy looking bows that trim
them. For general wear young ladies who pre-
fer round hats have the felt or else coth-covered
crown quite high and sloping. with a narrow brim
covered with velvet, and perhaps merely band
of silk or gilt galloon around, the crown, and a
large cluster of fancy feathers to the left OF the
front. These hats are set back on the head far
enough to show something of thefront hair. Gay
soft turbans with plaid silk, striped, or brocaded
crown ard velvet brim are also worn with wool
suits on the streets by young ladies. Black or
brown velvet round hats have novel trimming
in bands of white Angora wool, and new English
trimmed hats of felt have wide scarf OF change
able silk around the crown, with the ends of the
scarf painted and stamped with antique figures
arranged upright in 'front.' with some velvet points
between in a very decorative way. Ecru, drab,
and brown are the coors most used in felt hats,
and indeed brown is the leading color in millinery
this season. because it is the fancy now to com
bipe il with various cOlors with scarlet, garnet,
yellow, blue, or greenland in this way the brown
bonnet may be worn with the greatest number
of dresses"

conviction of Pat and bis sister Mamie on the
charges of keeping a disorderIy house, selling on

and fined 500, while his sister goes to the House
of Correction for Fix months. This is a fortunate

least, our community will be rid of these pests.

The tariff plank of the Democratic
platform is trap for the urWary. 1t
is based on false foundation, that of
reducing a surplus which is being de-
voted to the liquidation of the public
debt, and its superstructure is film of
airy nothingness-were it not secured
to recital5 of Democratic traditions,
which is heavy enough to hold anything
down, it would float away into the dim
distance and disappear from sight and
memory. A surplus is an eye-so-e to
the Democratic party. It points with
pride to its record before the war, when
there was not only no surplus hut not
enough revenue to meet the economical
expenses of the Government. The
! Democrats thinks it outrageous that
there should, be surplus and the coun-
try still be prosperous. So say Hur-
rah for Blaine and Logan!
