thrown completely over the engine
and the smoking car is on top OF the

SPRING FANCIES.

Immense sashes are increasing in favor.
MORE underslips are considered the most effec-
tive foundations for lace draperes, either black or
white.
Jet galoons, silk cord passementeries in new
elegant devices, and rich black aces, are the gar
nitures most generally used upon black corded
silk dresses this spring.
The tournure is gradually disappearing, and the
secret of so skilfuly drapng dress that it shall
stand out gracefully, without the aid of wires or
buckram, is simply to make it sufficiently wide.
Bretelles are noted again upon some of the
dressy spring costumes, and another pretty fancy
for young ladies is the wearing of velvet dog
collar, around which are set tiny pointed loops of
picot ribbon.
The popularity of yoke waists is still manifest,
and one of the new very popular styles shows
closely fitted lining with pointed yoke. 1t is
called the "French blouse" and will be used next
season for tennis, yachting, and for comfortable
yet trim bodice for morning wear, generally at
summer resorts
For stout women are shown very gracefully
made prncesse dresses in black corded silk, with
full drapery at the back but little Topped, and cor
sages nearly covered with jet garnitures, the trim
mings including u very deep pointed girdle that
reaches to the under arm seams only.
Very many of the handsome black lace dresses
are being made up for the coming season without
Innings, the corsage and drapings so arranged that
princesse slips of primrose, silver, Roman red,
Persian mauve, orange, or golden green, may be
variously worn with the dress.

LILIES IN POTS.

The more tender California lilies should be
grown in pots, in the eastern states. Use large
pots, and do not repot the bulbs annually, as you
Go most of the window plants. If you do you will
njure the perennial roots at the base of the bulb
See that the drainage is good. As soon as the
old hower-stem is well ripened remove it; take
out the old soil above the bulb-soil in which the
perennial roots have not penetrated-and replace
it with rich loan to which has been added one
seventh it's bulk of decayed manure and sand.
During this period the SOIL both old and new,
should be in a moderately moist condition, and
this should be the state of the soil throughout the
resting period. 1t is injurious to lily bulbs to
keep the soil either too dry or too moist. The
pots may be kept over winter in frost proof eel
lar, or plunged in deep, cold frame or pit in
well protected part of the garden Grown in this
manner the beautiful lilies Of California, which are
too tender for outdoor culture in our eastern CHM
ate may be successfully treated and will yield
flowers that are priced for their rarity and beauty

ABOUT FLOWERS.

Flowers, of all created things, are the most sim
pie and innocent, and most superby complex
playthings for childhood and ornaments Of the
grave. Flowers, beloved by the wandering idiot
and studied by the deep thinking man of science!
Flowers, that of perishng things are most perish
ing, yet of all earthly things are the most heav-
emily Flowers, that increasingly expand to heaven
their grateful and to man their cheerful looks, part
ners Of human JOY, smoothers of human sorrow
fit emblems of the victor's triumphs, of the young
BRIDES bushes welcome to crowded halls, and
graceful upon solitary graves
What a dreary, desolate place would be world
without flower 1t would be face without
smile-a feast without welcome. Are not flow
ers the stars of the earth, equal to the stars of
heaven? One cannot look closely at the construc-
ton of flower without loving it. The delicate
arrangement of the petals. sepals and that of the
ovary, are all embems of Gods love to the crea-
ton, and they are the means and ministrations of
mans love to his fellow creatures for they first
awaken in his mind sense of the beautiful and
the good. They lead us to thoughts of generosity
and moral beauty detached from and superior to
all selfishness so that they are pretty lessons in
natures book of instructions, teaching man that
he liveth not by bread or from bread alone, but
that he hath another than an animal lfe- Elk.

SPRING AND FLOWERS.
NEW YORK, March %, 1888.

The starry white-faced anemone has peeped up
through the EARTH uncertain as to her welcome,
iack-in-t he-pulpit has mounted the rostrum, and
the wood vioets sending out their fragrance,
whole families of them are here to deck the gar
ments of spring
In the north there is no vestige of any green
thing but in the south the grass is so beautifully
green-greener one regrets to say than it will be
in the coming summer months. The honeysuckle
that has kept green all winter in spite of frowns
and Billiards is at last rewarded and ere long the
blossoms will send forth their unrvaled fragrance.
The roses will be here in trce, and the gardener
with spade and pruning shears is transforming
flower bed and foliage to a condition of future
thrift and loneliness Surely, indeed, is spring
the queen of seasons and flowers the smiles of
Gods goodness.

Of General Interest.
IT'S HERE WE SEE "OURSEL'S AS ITHERS
SEE ITSt"

Women in the convention have called forth the
following ideal from the Chicago Herald:
Very few women in public life very few women
authors have as yet risen to plane of relationship
to their work where they can perform it without
a certain self-consciousness that greatly mars its
effect The mere consciousness of sex which be-
trays itself in so much of the writing and speaking
of women shows an unhealthy and abnormal condi-
ton and relationship to life. The only woman
writer who ever became apparently, entirely I'M
conscious of the sex relationship in her work in
life, or rather who entirely lost all selfconscious-
ness, was George Sand. George Eliot never en-
tirely lost this self or sex consciousness. She
came nearer to it than any of her contemporaries,
but ever and anon her pages are besprinkled with
metaphorical tears and wailing sentiment, often
bordering on sentmentality, over the peculiar
