Sir! In yesterdays BULLETIN a local

true, a meeting of the club was held,
yesterday, and 1t was decided to apply
for membership in the association,
which was done at the suggestion of
the President of the association, who
had some time, previous to the time Of
the said meeting, sent for one or more,
of the Myrtle members and advised
them to try to get the M. B. c, to
again join the association which they

FOR CHILDREN.

Toh 'IiibbItEN.
White and very delicate colors arc
quite the rage for children's dresses
this season, but may be diversified by
red and navy blue; green is, however,
entirely excluded. Babies pelisses OF
white serge, or fine wooden materials,
are trimmed with narrow white braid
and wooden lace, pique pelisses with
white embroidery. We have also OBJ
served many very fashionable toilets
embroidered in colors, and every kind
of canvas material is employed for
young children, the transparent kinds
looking particularly elegant when
lined with colored silk or muslin.
Rough fabrics seem to take more than
fine, smooth tissues, and dressmakers
for older girls have been busy making
up costumes for the seaside of two ma
terials, the polonaise being of plain
stuff, and the skirt striped in cream,
red, blue, etc, in fact, many of the
costumes for the country and seaside
seem to be the essence of simplicity,
some being merely of flounced skirt
and simple blouse secured round the
waist by rich silk sash. We must
not forget, however, that great admir-
alton prevails for bright tints and va
rieties of colors in fashions for ladies,
and similar styles are therefore brought
out for young girls and young child
rem.
Most effective outdoor costumes for
girls of 8 or 10 years are made with
robings of pale colored lace, and waist
coats to match of light ottoman, or
faille. The jackets are of the same
material as the pleated skirt, and many
of the Examines employed for these
robes are embroidered with colored
wool, as. for instance, a gray etamine
was ornamented with red stars and q
leather-colored one with blue sprigs.
A novel effect is often given by put
ting broad velvet tabs matching the
turn-down collar and sleeve parements
into the waist, and these fall down be-
meath the short. loose jacket The
hats worn with such costumes are
trimmed with two colors, and canvas
ribbons predominant.
Costumes for young children show
great variety in style and arrangement.
We have got accustomed to see little
boys, as well as girls, in their pretty
casaques and polonaises with pulled
plastrons and lace trimmin 8, although
for the former large velvet pockets are
added. Little boys frocks too are
trimmed in front with rows of braid
studded with gold buttons and band
to match; lace or embroidered collar
always accompanies frock of fancy
or line material. Silk frocks, which
are mostly worn by little girls, are
trimmed with band of terry velvet
with pattern worked in steel buttons
above, and Il broad folded sash knot
ted in number OF long loops behind,
as children's dresses are worn shorter
than ever, and the fullness drawn to
the back SO that they give somewhat
the effect of slight tournure.-4hc

She Will BE His Law

There is young man in this city, O
good-looking young fellow, who has q
sweetheart out in the country few
miles, and he spends two evenings
every week in her society. A few
nights ago he stayed to the usual hour,
and, as he passed out the front door.
he discovered that il was cloudy and
dark. He did not relish the idea of
driving alone through the gloomy
night, and limited about q good deal to
get an invitation to remain, but it was
not forthcoming. But the young man
was equal to the emergency. Going
down the steps he artfully contrived to
slip and fall gently to the ground. The
ruse worked admirably. The girl
screamed, the men folks jumped out of
bed and carried the young man tender
ly into the house. His horse was put
up and he was assisted to undress and
deposited in the spare chamber. He
had hardly began to chuckle over the
success when the girls mother put in
an appearance, armed with q mustard
plaster foot square and ten-horse
drawing power. This she Immediately
proceeded to clap on the small of the
young mans back, where he had in
cautiously located the damage 10 his
frame. For two mortal hours that
woman sat by the bed, and was not
satisfied till she beheld with her own
eye blister an inch deep. Fhe young
man is now reformed liar.-Conncil
