"Reporters are the mildest of men p
They are often so, and sometimes the
wittiest OF men too; and their wit serves
them when argument fails. A cele-
brated canon of the English Church
was announced to speak at a meeting,
and on this occasion did not wish his
address reported. He communicated
his desire to the gentlemen of the press
who were present They demonstrated
with him.
1.-The interest of the evening was
conferred in him"
'They were sent by their chiefs es-
pecially to take his speech"
The canon was memorable. He would
not be reported. At that one of the
fraternity said, with merry twinkle IN
his eye:
What! a canon go of, and no re-
portln
It is needless to say that all the papers
contained the address. It'd Bits.

Finding our His Standing.

''EImlra ]"
1t was a young man of South Boston
who spoke, his words fraught with
meaning, and look of terrible earnest
ness plastered on his brow. The maiden
whom he thus addressed was seated on
an elegant ottoman of raw silk and
plush. 1t was the first time Gawge had
called hey by her first name, and blush
of terra Gotta red tore its way over her
cheek. ''Elmira, said the young man
tenderly, 81 have been calling, OFF and
on, in this house for the last eleven
years. May 1 hope that you no longer
think of me as a stranger2" A tender
light came into the young girls eyes,
but she said nothing.
81 do not think it is conceit, when ]
say that you have led me to believe by
your actions that am not distasteful to
you2 Nay. even," and here his deep,
manly voice took a tone that thrilled
her to her loudly beating heart, ''that
you think well of mef'
The young girl lifted her statuesque
head, and with teardrop glinting and
glistening on her long Odalisque eyelids,
replied:
"Yes, Gawge."
'Then, that's all right" said the
young man briskly. ~ want to marry

Directoire redingotes of beautiful
French chaIli are worn over skirts of
white watered silk, and flower brocaded
empire gowns of white mohair have plain
full skirts trimmed with gold or silver
galloon.
Dressy collars can be made of fish net
in black or white, with white, black or
colored baby ribbon run through the
mesIes and drawn up to a graceful full
ness, held by a rosette of the ribbon.
This is also pretty formed into puffs to
be worn at the wrists and for plastrons.
Some OF the neglige corsages on the
new empire tailor-made gowns represent
q shirt waist of corded silk, and below
this is pointed girdle trimmed with fine
lines of gold braid. There are rows of
the braid also down the fronts of the
loose waist, which is fastened with small
gold buttons.
Bebe ribbons are as much worn as
ever, especially on evening dresses, and
there is a sort Of reaction against having
everything to match The sashes and
ribbons often contrast with the dress,
and brocaded ribbons are very much in
use.
A Paris paper says the fallS styles are
going to be more subdued than tor some
time. The severe tailOr-made gown is
going back to its first simple style, minus
beading of any kind. The jacket will
match the suit, the only trimming being
a little fur of some kind. Astrakhan
and beaver will be the most popular for
this winter.

Late in the Fifteenth century there was
born near the city of Florence man who
achieved greatness and whose works

der and admiration of all who see them,
and models in art that none have been
able to excel Michael Angelo was not
only architect, painter and sculptor, but
poet and philosopher, man whose
works and words were in accord. To
pupil he gave this lesson: ''Tl ities make
perfection, and perfection is not
trihe. 1t is the little things omitted or
the little things done, that affect the
balance in the summing of happiness,
and although some may despise the
household as too contracted an arena for
the display of magnanimity in character
or grandeur in action, yet here are
some of the trifies which this
great man said made perfection.
1t is little thing to say to one wife,
''my dear, how thoughtful you are,
when some little attention is shown, yet
that little morning compliment us a song

evening she knows you are tired and Will

and speak of the rose on her breast or the
neat fitting gown in which she has ar

smile, a gentle tone, a word of encour-
agement are little things, trifies all, but
a heart strengthened, dropping courage
revived, darkness lifted, are results that
are not trIfles.
The child chidden and blamed, dis
couraged and sullen is often won by

trifies that make perfection and are iy-
