Fashionable Evening cIoaks.

White and dull red are the favorite
colors for evening wraps this season.
and the materials are plush, faced cloth
and camel's hair. White crinkled
mandarin lamb fur trims the dark
wraps, while sable or other fine brown
fur gives distinction to white cloaks.
The round shapes in peasant fashion.
shirred about the neck, or else with
flowing wing-hke sleeves. are the,ex-
cellent designs for these luxurious
wraps. White cloth lined with rose
colored plush and trimmed with white
fur makes a beautiful cloak that need
not be very costly. Some wraps Of
pale Empire green wool with white fur
and gold trimming, and others Of
chamois-colored plush and gold, ara
also worn. One of the novelties for
trimming cloaks is a fringe Of ostrich
feathers not more than two inches
deep, and made OF several rows of the
feathers, used as an edging for the
fronts of the cloak, and in the collar
against the neck, also abeut the wrists
The antique brocades Of pale-colored
flowers on white grounds are used for
the short evening cloaks that many
ladies prefer, as they do not crush the
rich train; these brocades form the
fronts and back of the mantle-shaped
wrap, with white or pale-tinted plush
on the Sides Rich fringes Of passe-
menterie and gilt, with fur, are the
trimmings. HaYper's Basar

quered. 1t was the hardest task I

task more disagreeable than writing
obituary poems, and that was setting
glass in windows. Esther and the
maid applauded, while they hunted up
some salves for my blistered fingers
and brushed up the debris"
"And nowP" asked the bachelor,
calmly.
"The next day regular blizzard set
in and continued for three days, and
the greatest satisfaction have, next
to feeling Of cfsecurity from pneumonia
for my maid and broken ceilings in the
old homestead, is the contemplation OF
the worlmen who one by one go away
after being told it was too late From

II wouldn't have done il for a five
dollar bill" said the bachelor.
when our artisans persist in telling
such elephantine fibs about small
business matters, it is quite time for

The Great Question Settled in Few sug.
gestlve Parables.
Once upon q time Jacob married
Ruth and they set up housekeeping.
Now it came to pass that JACOB be-
came penurious and laid up the pro-
ceeds of his crops and stock in his own
pocket, and it also came to pass that
Ruth was somewhat troubled for pin
money. Her money went unto the
grocer, and her eggs and hens were OF
no avail, for Jacob took them to
market.
And Ruth grew shabby in dress and
pinched in face. Her gowns were
turned even unto the third time, and
the neighbors laughed at the ancient
bonnet.
And Jacob prospered and grew fat
in houses and lands, and drove fast
horses, and speculated. And Ruth
wept sorely that it was SO, that in her
own home she was a beggar. And
Ruth and Jacob were old and died;
and his heirs quarreled over the goods
that were left.
Once upon a time Susan married
Elisha, and they set up boarding, for
Susan loved not labor, and Elisha
wrought hard with the plane and saw,
q carpenter by trade. And it came to
pass that Susan visited much, and
bought silk gowns and banged her
hair and she loved laces and bonnets.
Elisha loved his wife, and gratifed
her in all ways. His coat grew thread.
bare, and he discarded collars, inso-
much that Susan became ashamed OF
Elisha's shabbiness and bemoaned her
evil lot.
And it came to pass that rich
stranger saw her face. and wondered
at the ill-mated pair, and took Susan
to the opera, and Elisha grieved that
it was so, and began to hate all women;
and the lawyers granted divorce,
and Susan departed with the stranger,
and Elisha departed also and died in a
distant land.
Now, in this same town, Edward
married Sarah. and they rented a
farm, for they had no land. And
Sarah sang at her work and Edward
plowed in the field, and the crops were
abundant, and Edward said unto Sarah!
"What is mine is thine, and what is
thine is mine. We two have one purse
and one interest"
And Sarah was prudent and loved
her husband, and they laid up money
together, and sometimes Sarah carried
the gold that was saved, and some
times Edward, and Edward trusted
Sarah more than himself, and they
bought lands and prospered, and while
still young their abundance was such
that out of their bounty they clothed
the poor, and bought pictures and
beautified their home. And people
wondered at her happy face; and they
rode in carriage that was not
yours" nor ''mine," but 'ours." AND
they lived to good old age and died
amid their children.
Here you have this all-absorbing
question Of the present days discussed

"A prominent member of church
