Velvet and embroidered fabrics will
be most used for bonnet trimmings.
with also repped ottoman silks and
satins for pipings and as the reverse
side of velvet ribbons. A great deal OF
very narrow velvet ribbon is now being
used by Paris milliners for rOsettes that
form pompon clusters on top OF bon
nets, and there are little princesse bon
nets made entirely of small loops OF
narrow velvet ribbons. A sort OF Asa
ctan effect will be given to spring bon
nets by a bow of velvet ribbon in the
wild hs known to dealers as Nos. and

these ribbons i'm a high cOckade bow
that sometimes has an aigrette or else
spears of wheat upright amid its stand
ing loops. Jets will be used again. but
there are few colored beads among new
goods. Small blossoms arranged in
wreaths and half-wreaths will trim sum-
mer bonnets. For the spring there are
large feather panaches made up of sew
eral kinds of feathers, partly of dOwny
marabout, with small Ostlich tips, some
high heron feathers as an aigrette, and
there may be small humming-birds OF
merely birds head rest ng upon these.

mounted together with another Of the
darkest shade, as rale mushroom with
dark brown. A great deal of gilt will
be used for garuiture, in laces, in wide
braids. in wheat clusters, and in orna-
mental pins and clasps. There are also
many silver p ms. long and slender, with
the head of a fish, dog. or bird, and
there are larger silver brooches repre-
scnting the head of Skye terrier, OF
the face of a pug. or hunting dogs in
the chase. A new and very effective

also close cottage caps of pink or blue

The Mole Upon the Nose.

DR.. P, a weli-knOwn clergyman
in New York, frequently told in con-
nection with the sui, ect of the training
of girls, the story of his visit to fash
ionable school in that city.
One of the young ladies in the senior
class had an unfortunate blemish in the
shape of a mole on the tip of her nose.
1t could not be removed. 1t could not
be put out of sight. There was nothing
unclean or disgraceful about it; yet,
tritie as it was. it forced itself on the
notice of every stranger as the chief
characteristic of the girl.
She was pretty, modest and clever;
but beauty, modesty and wit were all
obscured and subordinated by this one
paltry defect. Her classmates eX-
pressed much sympathy in speaking of
her to strangers. but were evidently
quite confident that they Slad no such
blemish.
Now, one of these youn., ladies pref
aced every sentence with a sharp
"Sayr' like the stroke of a gong.
"Say! think it is raining"
"Say! know nothing about mathe-
matics," ETC., etc.
Another of the girls stitched her SEN
fences together by s. You know. You
know, have such news to tell you.
was out yesterday, at I4Glra'S. and l

that his cousin, you know. is actually
engaged to Isabel
A third bit her nails, and at every
pause in the conversation fell to devour-
ing them as furiously as a famished dog
bone. The spectator felt an irresistl-
BILE desire to bring her something to eat.
Still another young girl in the school
interpreted an utterly vacant laugh into
every clause of sentence. She sat
next to the venerable clergyman at sup
per, and her conversation ran some
thing in this wise:
won't you have some jumbles

in the KaatskiIls. The sermon was or

Now this poor girl had no wish to bt
irreverent or even merry. She prOba
bly, did not know that She laughed Al
all. Her insane giygle. like the catch
words used by her companions, hac
been adopted at first to cover childish
di,fidence. No parent or friend hat
corrected the foolish, ill bre,l habit, ant
a personal popularity Of this kind is a
matter Of which no stranger will speak
"Yet these little peculia,ities," salt
the doctor, like the mole Gu the nose
were impertinently obtrusve. Thes'
girls had good looks. scholarship am
lovable natures; yet the one vulgar
silly habit was the point which forcet
itself on stranger, and it was tina
mainly by which they were remem
bered.''
1t would be wise question for every
young girl to ask OF her nearest frient
if she too has this mole upon her nose

Last "reminiscences Of Anthony Troll
lOpe.

1t was at the close of lively morn
ing visit that he first told one of his
greatest friends that his life was in
danger, saving in the most converse
tional tone, Il have had a terrible YER
dict pronounced against me since saw
YOU last. They saw l have got angina
pectoris 1 am to cat and drink, and
get up and sit down at my peril, and
may drop down dead at any moment"
He subsequently consulted DR.. Murrell,
the well-known authority on angina
pectoris, who did not indOrse the YER
dict, but found that b s heart was weak
and that hard work had made an old
man of him. For more than n year he
remained under the same medical care,
and got comparatively well. He was
enabled to resume his favoYite exercise,
and his usual animated life, being. how
ever, fairly warned, and that impress
lively, that he must neither overwork mol
overexert himself. The Injunction was
perfectly vain. He was extraordinarily
impatient and reckless of his own con-
dition; would still dash out of railway
carriages before the stopping of the
train, would hurry in and out of cabs,
and give way in all things to his usual
impetuosity. The end was grievOus as
it was sudden, and is briefly described
in the preface: ION the evening of the
Sd of November, 1882, he was seized
with paralysis of the right side, &C
companied by loss of speech. His mind
also had failed, though at intervals his
thoughts would return to him. After
the first three weeks these lucid inter
walls became rarer, but it was always
very difficult to tell how far his mind
was sound or how far astray." He was
moved from the rooms in Suffolk street,
which he had taken as soon as it wa:
decided that he could not live at Hart
ing, and where the doors were besieged
with anxiously inquiring visitors, to a
quiet house in Welbeck street, where
he died nearly five weeks from the
night of his attack. The wish he had
expressed so strongly in his days Of
health and strength was granted. The
power of work was over. and he was
taken from the world in which, accord.
ing to his own view, there could be nc
longer any joy.-Temple Bar.

THE AFTER-DINNER ORATOR.

He sits amid the social throng,
A gloomy, silent man;
He scarcely once has spoke or smlleo
Since fiji st the feast began:
He seems a sufferer under some
Mysterious, cruel ban.
The soup has passed untasted by
1t was not to his wish;
He takes no interest in the piate
That bears piece OF fish:
The same is subsequently true
or every other dish.
In vain the lady at his side
Her kindness would display;
He blankly looks her i'm the face,
And nothing has to say,
Or answers. if he speaks at all,
Some Inappropriate way.
The band strikes up merry tune;
1t only makes him groan.
A voice of mocking laughter seems
To sound in every tone:
He, he" remarks the tiendish flute;
Ho. ho.' the deep trombone.
A speaker rises now to speak
With elOJuence and Wit:
His every word draws smiles or tears,
Or thunders after il;
That writhing man in agony
More dreadful seems TO st.
Each moment his sad spirit seems
In deeper depths to sink:
He fain would take a glass of wine;
But no, he may not drink.

How dear art thou TO each!
And what woe inyades the soul
When thou art out of reach.

And has forgot his speech.
But Fate will never pause for woe;
And Fate. in accents grim
That issue from the charm ans lips,
Soon makes a call for him
As il the table were IL stream,
The faces seem to swim.
He feels more like to drown than swim:
He clutches at chair;
With trembling fingers he eSS US
To smooth his startled hair,
And then, with all his might and main,
Assumes an easy air.
He says he would have been prepared
If they had let him know:
But catching here the chairman eye

permission to begin his duties on the
morrow. He was proud man when
he drove into Chichester that evening
and announced his good fortune. He
found, however. that the neighbors
were less surprised at the news than
might have been expected. for every
one had heard of the letters which he
had written from the Castle on paper
bearing his Lordship's crest. If he had
come back and said that Lord Mont
arlington was his long-lost brother the
credulity of his friends would have
borne the shock.
Tom proved himself quite competent
to discharge the duties he had SO rashly
undertaken. When man has plenty
of assurance, backed by natural ability,
shrewdness and firm determination to
succeed, he can not very well turn out q
failure. Those who uttered ominous
predictions based upon his unsuccessful
career in Chichester overlooked the fact
that want of capital was alone the cause
of Toms misfortune, and it turned out
that he had powerful incentive to
make him do his best in his new posi-
ton, foc shortly afterward he became
engaged to be married to the pretty
daughter of mine host OF the Blue Boar.
Lord Montarlington left for the North
on the day Tom entered upon his new
duties, and three months afterward, on
passing through London he had an in
terview with Mr.. Pennington.
"By-the-by.' he said. ct the close of
their conversation, Il suppose the new
steward is q success, as haven't heard
to the contrary"
HE is the best agent your Lordship
has ever had: q prompt, business like,
energetic and trustworthy man." said

l may as well look in and pay my re-
spects to his Lordship,' said Tom. in
an off-hand manner. "The mare will
be glad of a rest; she has brought us

A remark of mildly sarcastic nature
came to the lawyers lips, but he did
not utter it, for fear of giving otlense to
a friend of so good client as his Lord
ship. A few minutes later Tom drove
up to the entrance of the Castle with an
imposing c!atter.
The lawyer was evidently expected,
for they were Immediately ushered along
a corridor to his Lorship's study. On
the threshold Toms modesty seemed
suddenly to assert itself, for he hung
back little, so that his companion led
the way into the room.
Lord Montarlington advanced to re-
ceive hisvisitors with out-stretched hand.
He was handsome, gray-haired, elder
ly man. with frank. genial manners. In
appearance he looked like sailor, and,
in fact, yachting was his favorite occu-
patton. He was a widower and child
less, and since the death of his wife he
had resided very little on his estates.
He greeted the lawyer with \ friendly
grasp. and also shook hands with Tom.
Nov I'm safe on terra tirma, my
Lord. I do not mind confessing that Mr..

with humorous smile.
''Pooh! There was no danger, my
Lord. The little mare is as safe as nine

tposed Tom, with bis jovial laugh.
