Four young ladies acted ~ pall-bearers At
the funeral OF one Of their schoolmates in
Caernarvon, Penn, Saturday.
Two young persons from Shenandoah
county, Va, were married at Hxrper's Ferry
the other day, the groom being 10 years old
and the bride Is years. 49,. .......
At . wedding the bride was q young lady
who had been q great flirt. When the cler-
gyman askei the question, "Who gives this
woman away? ?" ayoung man present replied,
81 can, but won't"
Heaviest and board. like black silks are TO
be the most fashionable, and although they
are expensive by the yard, they are guaran-
teed to "lass forever" In these days that Is
. very important consideration.
All this talk about the girls being crazy for
fine dress Ii not true. Give them their choice
between thrsa handrsd dollar sealskin sack
aud ten dollar engagement ring, and nine
out Of every ten girls and . majority of wild
ows will choose the ring.
A sensation was created by q pretty lady
with short hair at the opera In Paris lately.
She wore large red poppy, In the center OF
which famed, from time to time, brilliant
electric spark, generated from small battery
hidden somewhere about her.
Ths Medici lace is used on white linen
dresses. These suits are made Of fine linen
shseting, as it requires no starch In laundry
ing, and Is soft and comfortable, as well 40
cool and durable. Some ladies have vest,
collar and cuffs Of solid embroidery on these
dresses.

either old. fashioned, vulgar or s!angy. This
important matter being settled, we breathe
again.-Iroy Times.
There 10 q craze for gambling In New York
At present. which has not been equaled be-
fore In the history Of the city, aad social
poker playing, especially 10 an epidemic. No
dinner party nowadays is considered COM
plete unless little draw follows It, and even

says five times as many ladies play poker TO-
day as did year ago.
New York City claims to have more than
| q thousand women who speculate In stocks,
grain, oil, whisky, and every other way
known to the sterner sex, but brokers, as q
rule, refuse their custom. The reasons for
this were expressed by broker thus: "Their
risks are small, and II they loss--phe-w-w ~
"But supposing they make hit?" "Well,
then they grow confidential. They tell you
they knew 1t was coming so. They dreamed
Of black cat, or the baby cried twice in Its
sleep, or something like that. They swear
by their dreams. If woman has certain
