Old Sol, the landlord, was disguised. The
Oldest inhabitant of the Ridge could not re-
member such a spell of unreasonable weather
as they had had ever since the winter
opened. There had been warm weather,
and soggy weather, and wet weather, and
everybody had the blues. 1t was New
Year eve. The hickory logs snapped in the
big, old fashioned fireplace, and a kettle
sang CHEEKY song as it wreathed itself in
vapor that suggested something hot and
savory by and bye; but in spite Of that
there was anything but cheerfulness stir
ring the usual collection of Ioungers, who
sat in the glare Of the fire and among the
dancing shadows of the low-ceilinged old
barroom. The weather had been such
that venison wouldn't freeze, and it was
hanging up all around the Ridge and almost
spelling. This in itself was enough to put
the average dweller in the bailiwick of
Soils Ridge in the worst of humor, and the
feeling in the community was probably ex-
cellently represented at the tavern by the
crotchety and contrary Old Settler, and
the equally irascible and obstinate Squire,
two ancient landmarks of the Ridge, who

jacket In front, on either side, extend

knitted across the chest were broad
scarf ends Of the channels cloth finished
at the bottom with a cluster of large
iridescent beads in strands. The hat
was soft, round felt of dark brown,
the brIm trimmed all around of lighter
shade. At the back the brim was
slightly wired and formed i'm three in
dentatiOns. On the left side the brim
was fastened high on the hat with q
large cluster of English sparrows. The
second costume was that worn by Mrs.
Secretary Whitney at her last reception.
The dress was beautiful toilet of white
silk grenadine, long bows and ends
finishing the drapings of the tournure
on the right side. The entire front of the
gown was formed of a white silk illu-
sion with the stripes of seed pearls be-
tween which were intricate patterns
outlined in crystal beading. The illu-
sion was shirred at the neck, forming
full vest, and fell from thence in cas-
cades to the edge of the skirt. = boston

NEW EVERY MORNING.


Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is a world made new;
You who are weary Of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope for you;
hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed;
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds which snarted and bled,
Are healed with the healing which uieht ha,
shed.
Yesterday now is a part OF forever,
Bound up in a sheaf which God holds tight.
With glad days and sad days and bad days which
Shall visit us more with their bloom and theiI
blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful night.
Let them go since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive, forgive them
Only the new days are our own;
To-day is ours and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly.
Here is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and To share with the morn
In the chrism of dew and the cool OF dawn.
Every day is q fresh beginning;
Listen my soul, To the glad refrain.
And spite Of old sorrow and older SHINING.
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain.
Take heart with the day, and begin again.

OLD MAN JACOBS STARTS FOR THE WOODS.
'That was enough, and they did pitch in.
Jansen's family had such New Years
dinner as they never had before, and the
widow and orphans that were to have nc
reminder from Jansen's house had no such
treat, after all, as came from his house that
day, for Mrs. Jansen was a famous cook.
"Old man Jacobs did not come home
that night, nor the next day, nor the next
night, and then his wife began to feel
alarmed; for was he not her husband and
the father of her children So she prevailed
upon party of neighbors to go in search OF
him, much against their will. Four miles
back in the woods they found him. Jansen
had doubted there being any power that
could keep him from returning home to eat
the dinner he had boosted no widow or or
phan should taste, but there had been one;
and as he had vowed that he would sooner
be caught in a bear trap than chop wood
for his unfortunate neighbors, his choice had
been given hin-Jansen was found close
prisoner in one of his bear pens. He had
gone to it to arrange it for the night, and
while inside the log enclosure in some way
had sprung the fall, and down came the
heavy door, which could only be opened
from the outside, and Jansen's visions of
New Years good things vanished. When
taken out he was nearly dead from cold and
hunger. He was brought safely around
again, however, but he was not the Jansen
JACOBS of old. The lesson of that New
Years day had been accepted by him as a
special Providence, and the poor never had
better friend than he was ever after, and
he was a model man in his family to the
day of his death.
"Served him rightr' said the Squire.
"Jansen's family had sumpin to be thank

WAITING TO GREET PAPA WITH "A
HAPPY NEW YEAR"
Society i'm Mexico.

The habits of good society here are
quite the same, with little more dash
of abandon. as anywhere in the world.
The writer in the BiUouac speaks of
the replacement of the lace veil by the
American hat" Nobody here wears
American hats-that is, the ladies.
They wear imported Paris hats entirely.
The sevillana, or modern small man.
tilla-a most delightfully."- graceful head
dress which ought to be the fashion in
the States in summer, SO universally
becoming is it to all women-is not at
all displaced by the French hat. The
sevillana is entirely permissible in the
forenoon hours, and no lady wears q
bonnet to church. The church costume
is black silk or woollen dress and a
sevillana, and if you want to see some
beautiful Spanish types among the
ladies 90 to the Cathedral or to the
fashionable Santa Brigida or profesa
churches of q morning-where, among
the hundreds of kneeling worshipers,
you will see faces that an American
painter would give much to transfer to
canvas. The Mexican ladies 60 to
church daily in the morning hours, for
here worship is not restricted to one day
in the week, and the Mexican church is
not a combination of lecture-room, re-
.ception halls and church kitchen. 1t is
place in which to worship God and
not to make a display of toilets and to
cook oyster stews.
The liberty accorded the ladies, young
and old. nowadays, is much more ex-
tended than in olden times. Then young
ladies appearing on the street were in
variably accompanied, if not by par
ent, by an old woman who served as
duenna and kept sharp eye on the
girls lest they should catch the glances
of the young caballeros. 1t was then
the rule for the girls to walk with their
mouths hidden by their mantillas,
which they kept in place by one hand.
This fashion of going with la bocd
tapada, or mouth covered, still obtains
among the more modest young women
OF the lower classes, who carry their
rebOzos in such manner as to look
like Moorish women. In fact, it is q
Moorish custom, coming down from the
times when the Arabs ruled in Spain.
1t is considered very well-bred and
modest for women of the lower class
not to show their mouths to the men,
but, as said, it is not universal GUS
tom. even among lower-class people
An old friend. who has lived here
nearly forty years. says that in his time,
about l849, there were only two shops
in all the city where one could buy
ladies' French goods-silks. ribbons,
bonnets, &c. There were not then, as
now. shops withssreat plate-glass fronts
filled with foreign goods. Now, you
may walk along the principal streets
and see in the great windows as ele-
giant goods as in Boston or New York.
Some of the stocks of silks and ladies'
goods carried are very large. There
are two crockery stores-they are called
''cristalerias" where splendid stocks
are to be seen, but the goods are dis
played mainly in upstairs apartments.
