TWELVE PAIRS OF TWINS.
The Magnificent Family Which a
Pennsylvania West.

Inc faMHty " n1cn a
Pennsylvania West.
Correspondence Toledo Blade.
I am now 81 years old, and when was
from IL to Is years old my father, Samuel
L. Corning. kept the one tavern at the cen
ter of Brookfeld. Trumbull county,
O., the first range of townships
in the Western reserve, next to the
state line of Pennsylvania. Just at
night there drove up and halted at the tay-
ern two wagons of the Pennsylvania style,
so called in those days, having broad tires,
schooner-shaped bodies and linen covers.
In them were man, his wife ahd twelve
pairs of twins. all boys. They wanted a
place to cook their suppers, having their
own provisions in the said wagons. That
night the boys all slept in the wagons, but
my mother furnished the father and mother
with bed in the house.
1t excited the curiosity of all the people
in that vicinity as up to that time an un-
heard-of thing. Squire Chew kept a hat
shop near the tavern and made wool hats,
good and dnrable, such as were made in
those days. Before starting next morn
ing he marched the twins, two by two, in
front of his shop. and fitted each
boy with neat hat and the father
with one such as he (Chew) wore him
self. 1t was tall, bell-crowned, wide
brimmed and trimmed with fur, and band
half an inch in width, of "a dirty white color,
but green on the under side of the brim to
protect the eyes. They received other
presents. Ambrose Hart. who kept the
one store, gave the mother calico to make a
frock for herself, and they resumed their
journey for the, at that time, far West.

Varieties of Fur.

Carriage robes are to be had in seal, bear
and wolf skins. Fur robes of all kinds are
found at moderate prices.
Some very elegant sealskin hats are trim
med with ostrich feathers, but these are
much the same as last seasons styles.
Sealskin is the popular fur, and it is
cut with long wrists, forming protection
to the arm. Boas are seldom used, but are
none the less stylish.
Band collars or boas of fur, stole collars
extending in two tabs to the waist, and col
larettes reaching to the shoulder sleeve and
pointed back and front, are all in vogue for
children. as well as grown women.
Fur gloves are popular with ladies of
good taste who can afford them for riding
or shopping. For the latter it is often req
uisite to withdraw the glove to examine
goods by the touch. and this is awkward
with one that is close-ftting. The fur
gauntlet relieves all this and is much liked
for such purposes.
Raccoon is in high favor this season as a
trimming. 1t is prettiest in its natural
shades of grays and browns. producing a
pepper and salt effect. Three quarter
plucked beaver finds favor as trimming for
seal garments. 1t strongly resembles sea
otter. which is considered very beautiful.
Black fox and black martin are also much
used and are very serviceable. Black
fox trimming is extremely becoming to
blondes.
Fur hoods in seal and Persian fur are ex-
tremely comfortable for sleighing, and very
becoming to most ladies. Some of them
have deep capes that form collar and are
prettily-lined with quilted satin. For even
ing wear there are hoods made of swans
down, lined with white satin. White
coney is also used for this purpose, and
some of these are lined with pink, blue
or cream satin, with tie strings of the same
color.

as we were looking around for a way OF

colored suspenders hung about his neck

escape we ran against man weighing
about $50 pounds. who stood in the middle

little candy canaries, which man carried

Then came the man with the patent shoe
fastener and the bass voice, who informed
US in low d that the buttons would never
come off if we used them; another man
with patent potato -parer, who hourished
the peelings around our heads in a tragic
manner; the blind man, who scowls if you
give him nickel instead of dime; the
balloon man, who emphasizes his argu-
ments by giving your bonnet little dabs
with the balloons; the sunny Italian,
with his cloudy face and hand-Organ; the
man who sells solid gold cuff-buttons for the

street. We saw
A YOUNG WOMAN OF THE PERIOD
here also-s'the latest out" She was
dressed in tailor-made suit of heavy black
material, the basque and jacket of which
were made to represent the vest and coat.
The basque was cut away in front to eX-
pose regular shirt bosom, in which gilt
tered large diamond stud. This manly
costume was completed by high standing
collar, black necktie and Derby hat. She
wore her hair cut short, carried one hand
in the pocket Of her jacket and with the
other fiourished an umbrella, which at a dis
tance looked like cane. Her gloves were
OF the most approved shade of tan, with
broad black stitching on the back, and she
was attended by most effeminate young
man, who evidently considered her an
oracle.

Oh. such night! No cloud did mar
The azure of the deeps above,
And every diamond-pointed star
Seemed scintillating rays Of love!
Beneath the shadow of the vines,
With moonbeams glaneing silvery
On garden walks and signing pines,
kiss'd heron the balcony.
The nipping air blew crisp and keen;
The birds slept huddled wing to wing
In cosiest bower of evergreen
With dreams of love and f1owery spring.
What cared for the frosty air,
As she sat nestled close to me,
The while / strok' d her sunny hair
And kisS'd heron the balcony.
What tho press'd her yielding waist,
And told my tale with eager fire?
All! witching moon, thy beams are cnaste
And naught but purest love inspire.
For nightly thou tryst has kept,
Since first thy rays glowed on the sea
And kiss'd Endymion where he slept;
kissed heron the balcony.
