facing, plastron, and sash of bright
surah.

fashionable, no matter what the mate
rial.
Bouquets should always form the
fragrant coup to the toilette Of all brides
maids.

have tn, center of the back laid in plaits
form the neck down.
Lovely Persian embroideries are
imported for silk and very fine woolen
dresses.
Black tulle is covered with snowy
jet embroidery for draperies and plas-
tron, with many pendants from the GEN.

Some Of the new shapes Of straw
honnets look like hussar's helmet.
Long hair-pins, with Rhinestone
heads, are snowy and fashionable.

ones gowns made uncomfortably tight
about the arms and bust.
Many of the newest dresses are
made in style that was popular fifteen
years ago.
-Oxidized iewelry is to be again worn.
The new designs in belt buckles and
clasps of all kinds are very hand
some.

70 wear their dresses down TO their
ankles. When their gowns are made
simply, the effect is both modest and
charming.

CARBON COUNTY, PA, SATURDAY,


"With whom, then, are you goingP"
"With nobody at ALL" said Ruby,
with a charming pout. Nobody has
asked me-"
And she looked at Harry from under
her thickly curling lashes with such a
laughing mischlevous glance, that he
promptly followp1 up his advantage.
"Will you go with me, RubyP" said
be.
And Ruby made him low courtesy
and answered, demurely:
. eyes, please, sir. Now let us go and
find Jerryp'
!. Uncle Ennis was doing over the
weekly paper-he had read 1t twice
through already, but he seemed always
to regard himself as devoted to literature
when he fell asleep over the weekly
paper--when Ruby came to him with
Harry Stafford, leading the red Irish set
ter by its chain.
ooh, uncle, Pm so sorryp said she,
penitentially.
81 am so glad, Mr.. Ennis" said
Harry.
"But I let Jerry out for run, and he
got away from me, and little Tommy
Eaton brought him back; and please,
uncle, I'll never disobey you again.
But, uncle, that isn't alp she added,
teddening exquisitely.
"Ehp said the old gentleman.
''What next?"
'T've promised to marry Harry SAT-
ford"
"Hellop' said Mr.. Ennis. "But /
thought you disliked Harry Safford?"
ooh, noF' cried Ruby, with earnest
ness. "Only l was afraid he disliked
mel He called me rompp'
$50 did," confessed Harry Stafford.
'But you are the dearest little romp In
the world, and love you better than any
one else in existencep
So Ruby was married to Judge Saf.
ford's son, and the two elder Miss Arch.
ers were forced to confess that "our lit.
tie sister" had led off the marriage
minuet with distinguished success.
"But only to think" said Ruby, "oi

THE OLD MILL.
BY THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH.


Here from the brow Of the hill l look
Through lattice of boughs and leaves
On the old gray mill. with its gambrel roof
And the moss on its rottlng caves.
hear the clatter that jars its walls,
And the rushing waters sound.
And see the black floats rise and fall
AS the wheel goes slowly round.
l rode there often when was young,
With my grist on the horse before,
Aud talked with Nelly, the miller's girl,
AS waited my turn at the door.
And while she tossed her ringlets brown,
And tlirted and ehatted 50 free,
The wheel might stop or the wheel nigh
go
1t was all the same to me.
'Tls twenty years since last stood
On the spot where stand to-day,
And Nelly is wed and the miller is dead,
And the mill and | are gray.
But both, till we fall into ruin and wreck,
To our fortunes of toll are bound,
And the man goes and the stream flows
And the wheel moves slowly round.

MoLLIE MAKING BREAD.

I see Miss Mol when morning dew
Is on the growing heather,
When out she trips, with milking pail,
In spring or summer weather,
see Miss Mol at noontlme's glow;
What charms the maid possessed
When seated meath the tree that shade
The rare gold of her tresses,
Her little hands play in and out,
While she the fax is splnningi
What lad In all the country but
Would think her worth the wlnniuel
l see my love at evening time
When through the lattice peeping,
hear the music OF her song,
Which sets my heart to leaplng.
Tue kettle sings upon the hearth,
The summers day is ended;
l catch glimpse of dimpled arms
And snowy apron blended.
My Mollle. as she rolls and pats
Her cakes Of Dearly whitenessl
What luscious food for him who tastes
Their sweet and fairy llghtnessl
'Tis lovely Mollie making bread
Her cheeks like any ioses--
To me the lassie so employed
Her sweetest charm diseloses.

RUBYS VISIT,
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.

"Let her come to the farm" said old
Mr.. Ennis. "She'll enjoy the blue-bells
and the peach orchards, and the white
clover blossoming along the roadside.
1t will be great deal cheaper than
Newport and more sensible than Cape
May"
"Oh, papa, do let me gor' said Ruby,
clasping her pink fingers ecstatically tc-
gether. Mamma, say yes"
A year ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Alden Arch
er would have considered this sort Of
thing as nothing more nor less than
Punishment. The Misses Archer had
never been anywhere else than at Sara
toga, Long Branch and Atlantic City.
But times were altered now. The 'f'
nancial PRESSURE" whatever that might
be, had acted very unpleasantly on the
atmosphere of the Archer household.
Euphelia, the eldest daughter, had just
discovered that Mr.. Fontenoy Favrier, to
whom she had engaged herself, was moi
next heir to an English baronetey, at all,
but a defaulting clerk from Thread
needle Street, with half dozen detec-
tives after him; and Alicia, the second
blossom of the family-tree, had been un-
tremendously deserted by Mr.. Dallas,
of the Polo Club.
IF girl-aw-hasn't got money,
you know-aw," said Mr.. Dallas,
"there's no use-aw-in keeping up the
thing. We amt like wavens nowadays,
to be fed by-aw-the prophets. We
must-aw-have cash"
"But, Mamma" pleaded Ruby, "you
said ! was to come out this winter"
"Child, don't be absurd" said Mrs.
Archer. AZ said you should be intro.
duced into society, if Euphy and Allie
were married, but they're not; and
can't go into bathrooms at the head Of
a regiment of daughters. What would
people say?"
1T isn't my fault that they are not
married." pouted Ruby; "and am SC
tired of the nursery. Mamma, can't
go to Atlantic City with youP'
Certainly notp' said Mrs. Archer
"And mind, Rubina, if any one ask:
you how old you are, you must say six
teen"
"Why," cried Ruby, with open brown
eyes of astonishment. "But L was sew
enteen last birthdayp'
There's no sense in your growing
up so fastP pronounced Mrs. Archer
irritably.
"How can l help it?" said Ruby, al
most ready to cry. "Ican't put ston,
on my head, can ~"
"There are the girls to consider" saic
Mrs. Archer, sorrowfully.
'How are they to be bettered by m,
telling lies about my ageP" retortec
Ruby.
And then her mother told her TO holt
her tongue and not speak again unit
she was spoken to.
So that old Uncle Ennis offer wa
truly welcome when il came, and merr
little Ruby was like lamb let loos
upon the hills that sloped down to tn
blue tides OF the majestic Connection
river.
She tore her dimpled brown finger
with blackberry -briers; she ritied birds
nests for additions to her collection c
eggs; she romped like child, whistle
like boy, until all of a sudden she wa
recalled to the facts of real life
She had come in from the blackberry
fields all sunbrowned and happy, he
cherry lips stained with the purple dye
of the fruit, TO find Uncle Ennis porin
intently over a couple of letters.
"Well, little one" said he, ''what d
you think? Here are two surprises fc

Sir Ambrose Shea, who returns to New
foundlaud to-day. after making an effort
with the administration 10 have the pro-
posed abrogation of the Washington, treaty
postponed, gave banquet at Wizards
last night to Dumber of newspaper mon.
After the table had boen cleared he made
an address in explanation of the present
status of the fisheries question between
this country and his colony, He had
visited this city thirty years before upon
somewhat similar mission in which ho
was successful. Tho objection on the
part Of his people to the abroga.
tion of the treaty, which he asserted
worked to tho greater advan-
tage Of the Americans, was the
disturbance of trade which always
ensued upon fluctuations of policy. The
imports of Newfoundland consisted
largely, he said of American food
products, and aggregated about S3,000,0 900
per annum, while the exports to this
country did not average over 1914, 900.
Ho explained that tho conditions under
which the S5,O0O,0OO we're paid by this
country uudor the treaty were now
changed by the adoption Of different
method Of fishing, deep water being as
available for tho purse net system as
in.shore waters wore before. Sir Ambrose
expressed himself as we'll pleased with
the reception accorded him by the ad-
ministration, aud more than delighted
with the city, which he should advocate

dents Of the British provinces.

Colonial Hrnd-Dressea.

From the illustrated paper by Edward
Eggleston on the home life of the colo
nists in the April Century We quote the
following: "The dressing of women's
hair kept pace with that of men. Tho
'commode' or tower head-dress rose to q
great height in tho days of Queen Anne,
and then declined to rise into new de-
formity in the years just preceding the
American revolution. In 177l a bright
young girl in Boston wrote TO her mother
in the country q description of the con-
struction upon her own head of one Of
these coiffures. composed Of roll Of red
cows tail mixed with horse hair and o
little human hair Of yellow color, all
earded and twisted together and built up
until by actual measurement the super
structure was an inch longer than the
on another lady's head, she says Il saw
him twist and tug and pick and cut off
whole locks of gray hair Mt slice for the
space of an hour and half, when / left
him, he seeming not to be near done One
may Judge of the vital necessity there was
for all this art from the fact that certain
lady in Annapolis about the close of the
colonial period was accustomed to pay
5000 year for tho dressing Of her hair.
On great occasions the hair-dresser's time
was so fully occupied that some ladies
were obliged to have their mountainous
coifIures built up two days beforehand,
and to sleep sitting in their chairs, or,
according to Philadelphia tradition,
with their heads inclosod in q box"
