COLD AND HOT CRANkS.
How Department People Treat the
Matter OF Ventilation.

There Is great deal Of complaint among the
government employees just now about the esces-
sive heat of the department buildings. and the
consequent oppressive atmosphere which they
have to breathe every day and oil day. 1t is by
no means q new cause of complaint, as the
same thing is repeated each year.

Of cooler temperature.

Some of the Reasons Given by an Expert
for Its Popularity.
Lace is an investment, and ladies who
study economy, as well as richness of
attire, find great comfort in its exceed
ing popularity. All kinds of laees are
worn, from the richest point to the
pretty and inexpensive machine-made
laces, which can scarcely be called inn
itation, since they do not profess to I'M
itate any thing, and stand wholly on
their own merits. Beaded laces are
fashionable, both jet and colored, but
the lace is jetted net, rather than jetted
lace, and the cuttings and frills of lace
used with the beaded fronts and
tiounces are plain, with jet introduced
as drops and pendants. The term jet,
it must be remembered, has become
generic, and is applied to beads of all
kinds and colors Chantilly lace is
thrusting Spanish out of the market in
black laces, and there is great demand
for Chantilly by the piece, to be made
up over satin for evening dresses. Let
tiers from Paris report great and
growing fancy for wooden laees in col
ors to match suits, and predict the use
of them largely next summer for water
ing-place wear. The latest novelty in
troduced by the great Partisan dress
makers is the use of India shawls-real
Cashmere Valley-for trimming suits.
The dress is either of fine bison cloth,
of silk and wool cashmere, soft, yet
thick, or Of velvet. The close-ftting
BASQUE has 8 narrow vest and cuffs
formed from the shawl. and the skirt
either a plastron or side panels Of the
same rich fabric. The rest of the shawl
Is made into visite, with fringe of silk
in all the colors of the shawl, making a
most rich and elegant street and car
rage costume. II Philadelphia Times.

I'M ECLIPSE.

We said goodbye when all the birds
Flew homeward to the South;
Two very unimportant words
Framed in rosebud mouth:
I held slender hand awhile
knew it wasn't right
And when missed her sunny smile
1t seemed the depth of night
A very common incident,
Yet when year had passed,
Whate'er did, where'er / went
Remembrance held it fast;
I longed to see her rosy face
Below her soft brown hair.
And so Il sought the charmed place,
And waited for her there.
o, where was Edith-where was she
Who once had graced this spot2
Here was the seat beneath the tree,
But Edith-she was not.

Hear my Apocalypse

And / was in eclipse. Life
