Fashion Fads.
PINK shades of terra Gotta are quite

GENTLEMEN watch chains are short
and heavy.
The largest round hats are perfect

FRENCH challie polonaises are draped
over skirts of MORE.
NARROW tucks run by hand are used
as trimming for summer dresses OF thin
and transparent material.
LITTLE boys spring overcoats are
long, of striped or checked cloth in
brown or gray shades, finished with a
deep cape,
TABLE napkins of the finest linen are
elaborated with drawn work, and
others for fruit have exquisitely tinted
borders.
CREPE lisse parasols formed of a suc-
cession OF tiny plaitings have costly
and beautiful handles set with SEM
precious stones. They are to be car

The new Suede glove in French gray
tints, which are imported to take the
place Of tan shades, are generally fin

white stitching.
PLAIN corsages are no longer popu-

by which the effect is p. oluced.

Mr.. Morley's fears regarding the
nelghboring young man were not
groundless. Few could look upon
Madge Morley in her rich warm
beauty, full of life and purity, without
loving her; and Lee Barnard, the OBJ
lect of Mr.. Morley's suspicious, was
not an exception. He was prospecting
IN this Western town, with view Ct
locating, and, since Ma lge Morley had
all unconsciously stolen his heart, for
it was Glove at first sight" his decision
was quickly made, He would invest
in s. property, and settle there
with hopes, very faint hopes, however,
of winning this beautiful prize.
Thomas" said Mrs. Morley, "does
this look much like love or marriage
very soonP"
On looking out the window upon q
large orchard, Mr.. Morley saw, at the
topmost bough of large cherry tree,
his "gazelle." Her penchant for climb
ing trees was something beyond
imagination. She had spied some fine
fruit which she coveted, and as it was
beyond the reach of her arms, or q
long pole, she proceeded to climb the
tree as gracefully as any kitten. The
fruit was hers. Her doting father be-
held her perched aloft in that undigni-
fled position, swayed back and forth
by the mild summer breeze, and seem
ingly unconscious that she was break
ing all rules of propriety. With lips
as red as the cherries she ate; dark,
laughing eyes, full Of contentment,
and her dark hair falling in careless,
ripping waves to her waist, she made
a beautiful witch of the woods" pic
ture. "Better be climbn trees than
hevin' beaux," said Mr.. Morley, turn
ing from the window with half smile
upon his face. About ten minutes later
he heard piercing scream, which he,
with horror knew emanated from the
cherry tree. Fastening to where he
fully expected to see his darling crushed
to death by falling from her lofty po-
sition, he saw her snugly and
comfortably ensconced in the pro-
tecting arms of Lee Barnard, who
had delivered her from what might
have proved fatal accident, as tho
slight branch on which she stood had
given way, precipitating her to the
branches beneath. She lodged on a
lower branch and managed to hang
until her cries for help brought to her
rescue the handsome stranger, who
reached the spot just as her poor LAGER
ated hands became exhausted.
Jump. and I'll catch you, little
one" he said. His strong arms were
held cut and into them she safely
dropped rather than jumped, burden
he was loath to give mp, a burden ne
ultimately begged the pleasure oil
carrying through life; and. in time, Id
learned to his supreme Joy that IN fall
ing from the tree Madge had also fallen
IN love. Hence the inevitable result
Two hearts, two lives, were made one.
And even L. t., very wisely remem-
boring that "love laughs at locksmiths,"
became, in measure, though at the
eleventh hour, and when there was no
other alternative, resigned to give his
youngest and last to the man who had
rescued her from what might have
been death, always considering it
providential that the accident occurred
before them bulletin boards" were
erected.

FREEDOM.

Give me tho freedom of tho skies,
The latitude of heaven range,
Hopes fairest, brightest dcstinies,
Relief from serfdom, and the changes
And splendid growth that comes with time
Oh, give me thesol break bolt and bar,
And shall make faith sublime
And spotless as a shining star.
II.
Give me the liberty from breeds
That bird the souls divine desires
Making US slaves to selfish deeds,
Destroying all the fervent fires
OF faith aud love that burn within.
Give mo such liberty, and
Shall walk no more the paths of sin
Unless the angels sin on high.

Where yGSsnlB bow to Gold and Groed;

Cnlocks each palace gate and door;
GIVE me such scope, such liberty

ENGLISHWOMEN in OFFICE.
a CreditabIe Report From the London
Board of Guardians.
raj bfdH Gazette.


Out of sixty five women at present on
boards of guardian, twenty five of whom
are within London itself, no less than
twenty have been reelected five times or
over, and some of the earlier candidates
seven times. To look at home for an
instance of what they are doing take
the admirable work of Miss M. M.
Evans in the Strand. Miss Evans was
returned last election at the head of the
poll, and in further proof Of the conf
dence which the rate payers put in Miss
Evans they returned her nominee, Miss
Stevens, second, above all the men. AT
q meeting Of her constituents the other
day, Miss Evans told how she visited the
schools Mt Edmonton, and found the
girls half naked, wearing through the
winter ''low necked frocks of unlined
cotton" which might have made hand
kerchiefs, and which had to be used as
such, "flannel potticoats like cobwebs,
and cotton stockings" Fifty-six girls
had to battle in one lot of water; two and
one-half combs and five brushes were
thought enough for 1870 heads; rlngworm
was going the rounds. All the winter
these poor girls were sent to bed naked,
and tried to keep warm by wrapping
their flannel petticoats round their
necks." AS for their education, ii is
enough to say that needlework was no
part of it, Miss Evans went to work at
once; added sewing to the curriculum;
and substituted thick serge frocks at an
extra cost of exactly G3 IS. Sd. But that
was not all. She found her hands tied
by what she publicly stigmatized as IAN
unblushing system of jobbery." When
she showed certain 'shirting at SID. a

chairman's son-in-law) to the auditor of
accounts that functonary shrugged his
masculine shoulders with the remark
that he "knew nothing of drapery

same excuse would be pleaded by the
auditor of q board of guardians in whose
accounts u soup.tureen was recently ac-
credited ut GA lis. Cd. "IIe knew moth
ing of crockery-ware detais" Thereon
Miss Evans moved q resolution, and car
ried it, too, that none of these should be
given 20 relatives of any members Of the
board and when, soon after, the son-in-
laws contract came up for renewal, with
this weapon Miss Evans successfully re-
sisted ii. Only think what field there
would have been for Miss Evans on

any of those other public bodies to
whose mixed incompetence and corrup-
| tion the publicis beginning TO awake.
