Beyond 8 few short moments space,

Becomes a memory of the past.

A little longer, sweet To-day.
o sweet To-day why must thou go?
The sky is blue, the earth is fair.
And summers lurking everywhere;
There's music in the winds that blow.
Ali stay thy flying feet, pray.
A little longer, sweet To-day.
o sweet To-day. tits not too late:

There's pleasure in thy sunny smile;
I'm happy and can laugh at fate.
Ali stay tiny flying feet, pray,
A little longer, sweet To-day.

The past is gone beyond recall;
The future lies within a pail,
No more thy dear name / repeat
In vain begged of thee TO stay

How Society Ladies Garry ParasOIs

1.-The society women of New YORK are
very quick To catch the fashion. especially
if il be English said a well-known En-
gliSh actor aS lie stood in front of the Wind
sor hotel yesterday, while watching the
stream of carriages that rolled toward the
park. Nearly every victoria that passed
was occupied 10y one or two ladies, and in
every instance they held their paTaSols in
both hands. straight up and down in front
of their faces and within an inch of the tips
Of their noses. Their hands and arms were
i'm precisely the position in which a soldier
places his when he presents arms 1t inn
presses the observer at first with the idea
that the woman is afraid that the paraSOl
will blow out of her hands if she does not
hold it firmly.
DO you see how common the fashion
tsp" continued the actor. well. that is all
the result of the Prince of Wales trip
through Ireland. American ladies formerly
carried their parasOlS gracefully and easy
while driving. but when the illustrated Lon
don papers came over here with pictures of
the Princess of Wales and her escort dTiv-
ing about the Irish cities and holding their
parasOls like fiagstaffs an instantaneous
change swept over New York, and within a
month all the women were carrying their
paraSols as the Princess Of Wales carried
hers. And it's awful swell, too, don't you

MOTHERS OLD HYMN.

Through the trembling folds of the twilight
dim
I can hear the strain of that grand Odd hymn
Which mother, whose heart is now still and
cold,
Sang amidst her cares in the days of old.
There was something about it, underlined.
That charmed into quiet the troubled mind.
Ger the bleak hearts breathed with a spirit
bland,
Like warm south wind DER a frozen land.
And browning it all with a strange, deep
chord,
Like the throb of the heart of the blessed
Lord,
That shed through the fainting soul abroad
A sense of the plying love of God.
The songs of the singers that fame has
crowned
In the food of the years are lost and drowned;
But mothers old hymn, every pause and tone,
With the growth OF time has the sweeter
grown.
And it seems not out of the past to come
An echo only of lips that are dumb
but down from the home of the glorifed
It has always come since the day she died.
We know not the music that spirits hear
As earth is receding and heaven draws near,
But treading deaths valley of shadows dim
L ask out to hear my mothers hymn
From the Baltimorean.

Texas slftings.

given in Austin, not long since, for char
liable purpose. Miss Birdie MeHenipin,
who ceased to be a spring chicken about
thirty years ago, represented Ophelia.
After the performance was over KOsciuskO
Murphy complimented Miss Birdie ON her
acting. She giggled like the giddy thing
she is. and said:
But. you know Mr.. Murphy, Ophelia

How Ladies ShouId Dress when
Beating.

First-Crinolettes and all steel appen-
dsges are very much out of place and very
troublesome.
Second-The imitation of mems clothlug
is neither pretty nor effective. and it cannot
be comfortable when il takes the form of
wearing stifily-starched shirt front and a
high collar.
Third-High heels are dangerous TO the
wearer and damaging to the boats.
FOurth-DreSses should be short, but
then care should be taken in adjusting
them when the wearer is reclining in bow
seat
Fifth-Stockings should either match the
costumes with which they are worn or De
distinct contrast from them. They must
occasionally be seen. and very probably are
intended TO be.
Sixth-Dress materials that easily tumble
and crush should be avoided
Seventh-Skirts should be made wide,
otherwise considerable difficulty will be ex-
perienced in stepping in and out OF boats

1t is not too late, perhaps, for the follow
ing suggestion from Harper's Bazaar in re-
gard TO wool gowns. Tucked skirts of
sheer wooden dresses are now made without
any foundation skirts, with merely deep
facing of crinOline and alpaca, and are
therefore very light and pleasant for sum-
mer wear. The full double width VI the
fabric is used for the back breadth:
on each side of this is narrow
side gore measuring three-eighths OF
a yard at the top, with perhaps a sixteenth
added at its greatest width at the foot; be-
tween there is the front breadth, about five
eighths wide at the foot and narrowed at
top by TWO or three darts taken deep enough
to make it fit smooth across the wearer

the top is gathered or pleated into the back

tons down each side. The silesia Innings in
figures and stripes of color with white or

dresses when colored.

The foundation skirts of stylish dresses
must be narrow. Amateur dreesmakers
often make the mistake of having the back
of this foundation skirt as wide as the out
side part and this gives a very awkward
effect. Two and quarter yards is the
greatest width for short walking dress.
Be careful not to have the drawing strings
too low down or the back fullness will be
tossed from side TO side as the wearer walks.
So
The skirts of the season, which are draped
high up, fall plain and straight in the
front and sides. and are tied back in place
at the hips, make free. long and vigorous

may be remedied IN great measure by cut
