WHAT HE SAID.

The old man snored on his corn-husk bed,
And dreamed Of rails and fodder and grain,
But his daughter watched by her window-sill
For the gay young man to come up the
lane.
Oh, love is mighty-and bolts are weak
To restrain fellow that believes in cheek.
''Hither, my dove,' in soft tones came
From under her window. Out in the night
She slid on clothes-line all prepared,
And in less than minute was out of sight,
While the rowdy old owl sang out ''too-hooW
AS they both skedaddled to Kalamazoo.
The sun was up and the old man woke
He missed his daughter and saw the racket,
AS he spied note in her vacant room
Stuck in the crack Of walnut bracket.
He read it slowly and quietly said:

Summer Fashions.

Bonnets of black lace have small brims
covered with jetted lace and pink aigrettes
fastened with small pins.
Chantilly lace, the most beautiful of
black lace, is fashionable for mantillas
scarfs 1ichus and TUNES to wear over silk.
dress.
The prettiest and most delicate fans for
summer are painted in soft tints, and with
much daintiness Of design, upon cream-col-
ored gauze.
Stripes are decidedly fashionable this
summer, of all styles, widths and colors
They are worn either for an entire costume,
OF else combined with plain fabric.
In millinery great deal of gold gauze is
used. together with gold transparent net,
which is laid Gvr thin summer plush so
that the pile comes through. The effect is
exceedingly rich
In the tout ensemble of summer fashions
we see much fewer drape1ies than in those
of the spring, but there is a marked tendency
to putting out the toilet both in the upper
part of the bust and about the hips.
The new jewels. called Theodore biioux,
are extremely pretty, with their colored
stones, rubies and turquoises set in metal,
finely chiselled in open work. They are
worn both in the morning and in the even
ing, and by all ages.
Small pelerines of white muslin or eta
mine are a very graceful substitute for an
out-of-door mantle in hot weather. These
pelerines are trimmed with some sort of
pretty lace. and with bows of ribbon match
ing the dress, OF else, more soberly, with
black velvet ribbon, suitable to wear with
any dress.
Ribbons will be very extensively used in
all delicate shades. and in widths running
from number twelve to forty. Wide sash
ribbons will be used, but they are less grace
full and pretty than surah fringed and knot
ted at the ends. If the wearer chooses, she
may, instead of fringing the. ends of the
sash, trim them with deep lace, or gold en-
broidery.
The most fashionable white cloth dresses
are made with vest, and several rows of
| narrow gold cord or fiat braiding, or are
gold embroidered to simulate vest, cuffs and
high collar, and sometimes in designs also
round OF pyramidal upon the lower front of
the skirt, which is laid in clustered plaits
and has hip and back drapery closely laid
and moderate in size.
A bodice of new shape, which is in great
favor for summer dresses, has, both in front
and at the back, plastron finished into
