HINTS OF SPRING FASHIONS.


Chatelaine watches are still worn on the cor
sage.
Gauze ribbons with velvet stripes or chenille
dots are novelties for summer wear.
The crowns of many of the new bonnets are
much interviewer with steel, copper, silver ind
gold
The difference between the indoor toilet and
the outdoor costume grows constantly more
marked.
The melon-shaped and plated round waists
are revived with many of the new gowns prin.-
cipally those made of camels hair and plaid
woolens.
The English housemaid dress, that is, the
dress devoid of the tunc overskirt of any de-
scrption will form very popular model for
toilets for home wear the coming spring and
summer.
One feature Of spring millinery is the appear
ance of designs and colors of the middle ages
Scarfs and handkerchiefs ornamented with
heraldic devices and emblems, have quaint eff
feet In the dull old colors.
Short basoues with long drapery and plain
lower skirts are to be worn, either in combina-
tions of two materials or in one fabric. The
upper part OF the dress will be of plain goods,
with figured stuffs for trimming.
The coming waterproof will no longer be the
disagreeable and ugly black Indiarubber
ing of the present time. 1t is of English manu-
facture, and is to be had in many new shapes
and coors. 1t resembles beautiful silk travel
ing-cloak, shedding dust and rain alike.
Pretty house dresses for girls are made of
striped limousine, with the deep yoke and the
outside of the sleeves braided in one of the
shades of the stripe. Corslets or girdles also
braided, are often made to match, and the full
'housemaid" skirt is tucked to within few
inches of the belt.
Many young married women have adopted the
English fashion of wearing cap in the morn
ing. For this purpose the large Normandy is
just the thing. 1t is made of crepe lissee and
stands high. 1t is boriered with double row
of lace, and has large bow Of velvet with loops,
but no ends at the top.
The newest sashes are made Of coiored silk
surah. After being finished with deep hem
all around, they are about threequarters of
yard wide and two and threequarters long
Made in any number of bright colors, they are
worn over black lace or other suitable gowns to
which they make very tasteful addition.
Golden brown, gray, dark blue, olive are
the most serviceable shades in plain wooden
goods for suits for utility purposes, and young
ladies who have leisure can easily braid or en-
broider these dresses in soutache or other braid
of deeper color than the dress. Embroidery
is, Of course, richer, but braiding, in many of
the handsome designs now procurable, is almost
as effective and really more appropriate for such
a dress and the use to which it is put

The wall across the way is ten feet high and

We Dined.

We dned a fish from the river beneath,
A outlet, bird from the windy heath
Where we had wandered happy and mute;
II WIS happy day with us
In tho early time it is often thus;
But my sweet love chalted when came fruit.
Flavor of sunburnt nectarine,
And the light that danced through wine glass thin.
Filled with juice of the grape of Rhine;
She talked and laughed about this and that
Easy, exquisite, foolish chat
While her pretty, futtering hand sought mine
And thought: Come glory distress,
In this wonderful weary wilderness.
This hour is mine till the day of death;
The fruit, the wine, and my lady fair
With flower of the heath in her dim brown hair,
And sigh of love in her fragrant breath.

A KEROSENE DRUNKARD.
An Alabama Man who Cannot Live Without
Drinking the Oil.
Birmingham A ge.

Yesterday evening as an Age reporter was
passing J. T. Bailey's grocery store. on Tween
,ieth street, one of the clerks stopped him and
said: There is a human curiosity back in the
rear of the store. Step in and see it"
The reporter went in and in the
act of drinking a cup full of kerosene oil. He
had entered the store and purchased a gallon of
the oil and then asked for cup, which ne filled
and hastily drank. This surprised Mr. Bailey,
and he questioned the man about the matter.
When the reporter entered the recital was fin
ishec and the talker was taking another drink OF
the oil. The mans story was told the reporter
by Mr.. Bailey, and was follows:
"My name is George Eggleston. I was born
in Mobile county, Ala, in August 1912 When
quite boy suffered great deal with tons:litis
and other diseases Of the throat Kerosene oil
was recommended as cure. and consequently I
was dosed with kerosene. AS long as l took the
oil was apparently well, and 50 | continued to
take it for a number of years. The first time
thht | knew that was tho victim of an almost
incurable habit when / was sent off to a
boarding school. After three days It the place
felt as if there was something wanting. / be-
came restless lost my appetite and could not
sleep. saw servant filling lamp, and all at
once terrible thirst for drink of the oil took
possession of ME, and at once obtained it and
that night slept soundly. That settled me. Ever
since that night have taken my dose of kero
sene Oil as regular as q drunkard drinks his
whiskey and can't do without it."
Mr.. Bailey asked Mr. Eggleston what he would
do if he was placed so he could not get OIL He
replied:
II would go crazy. Irecollect once of being
in such predicament. / started out on hunt
once expecting to stay only one day, but was
detained five days. l was all right until the
fourth night, when | felt the thirst on me. The
next day suffered almost death, and reaching
home that night drank pint of oil at one time
This is what Mr. Eggleston told Mr.. Bailey.
He said to the Age reporter that the habit he
now considered an incurable one, but it caused
him 20 inconvenience whatever He believed
he was healthier for the habit
Mr. Egglcston lives eleven miles north of
Birmingham. and is well known by number of
our citizens. The reporter, in speaking of the
ease afterward, asked several physicians what
they thought the results would be if a man was
addicted to the habit of taking large quantities
of kerosene oil The reply every time was that
however, is as healthy looking man MS one
could wish to see, and, so far as appearances go,
his queer taste has caused hin no Inconvenience

First Love.

They met one evening long ego.
A shadows heightened on the hills,
And lingering sunbeGins kissed good night
TO sleepy dafodils.
When heart meets heart, and hand clasps hand
The rosy hours how fast they glide
For what recks Love of flight of time,
With Psyche by his side?
They parted for length OK years,
With vows Of love for evermore
But when they met, twas not again,
AS they had met before.
In youth, bow real the dream of love,
And oh! how beautiful it seems
The pity is it fades so soon,
As is the way with dreams!

After the Ball.

The snowy hood laid from her golden hair
The cloak of fur that clasped her glowing form
Was now undone, her bosom white and warm
And clear full neck shone forth beyond compare,
One moment more, aud her sweet arms were bare;
In costume simple, but with wondrous charm
And smile that any foeman would disarm,
She stood goddess for whom man might dare
Something was wanting for her dark blue eyes
Were far away; she smiled not from her heart;
Perchance twas summer love so free from art;
The sea, a long gray beach and heaven blue skies
Before her, and u man who sadlycries
heproachtul love, and viii no moro depart

And into the mazy her way she takes

Oh but she shone in waltz or reel!
Oh but she slung dizzy heel.
Oh. but you'd ought to hear her squeal--
Over the fence is out.

Lather the arnica on!

and afterwards demanded $25. 900 damages.
The lady denies that she ever intended to sue,
but it is known that Mr.. Austell has been coming
down handsomely with mis- cash. 1t may interest
the Times readers to know something of how the
Enquire gets the series of Southern scandals

The singer sang the world song.
And soon in every tender heart
It's melody sweet and strong,
became 2 dear and lasting part.
Bat no one knew and no one cared,
That from supTemest grief and wroag
His breaking heart had learned the notes
That trenblei into glorious song.
A woman who from every cup
Had drank life's glad and bitter streams
Sat down and wrote a wondrous tale,
As sweet and bright as fairy dreams.
Bat no one knew and no one cared
From what tumultuous sea of thought
The soul in lonely voyages
Its parable of life had brought.
The teacher with burning heart,
With tongue as swift and hot rs fame
Led with a wise and tender heart
The world into its highest aim
But no one asked and no one knew
Through what fierce conflict day by day.
He won the victory which cleared
For weaker hearts the higher way.
For each soul has one inner room
Where alone il seeks the grace
To struggle with its sharpest woe.
It's hardest destiny To face,
To lift the duty when it fears.
To love. to trust, through every doom,
Ard not the nearest, dearest heart,
Goes with it to that inner room.
