NEW YORK FASHIONS.
The Popularity of the Sailor Hat-Hems
for New Street Gowns.

Tor New street Gowns.
The popularity of the sailor hat in
creases as the season advances. This
simple, unpretending shape is the least
trying of any of the styles now in vogue.
Few women have the regularity of feat
ure to wear hat with curved and
denied and otherwise mutilated brim
aplomb. The severity of a straight fat
brim is often the secret of the becom-
ingness of a hat. New sailors, of Milan
braid, with openwork Neapolitan
crowns, and vice-versa, are trimmed
with silk scarfs and Standardization tips.
Other novelties show straw crowns with
brims of shirred tulle or crepe lisse. A
sailor of pale primrose-yellow crepe,
shirred on fine gold wire OF both brim
and crown, is garnitured with black
lace, tulle loops, and five tiny black
birds. Another yellow hat is trimmed
with black ostrich tips, yellow tulle
scarf, and large cut-jet lady-bird, with
narrow, pointed wings outstretched A
cream white China crepe sailor hat has
very narrow finish of pointed silk lace
at the edge. The hat is trimmed at the
back, the trimming consisting of white
clover blossoms set into cluster of
pale-green oats, the loose flowers and
greenery lying upon large knot OF
cream-white grenadine ribbon loops
striped with satin. A gray crepe hat is
trimmed with wreath of dusty-miller
leaves, intertwined with half-open pale
pink daisy buds. A pretty sailor of he
liotrope straw, faced with violet velvet,
is crowned with full diadem wreath of
lilac chrysanthemums shading from the
faintest to the deepest colors.
The hens of the majority of the new
street gowns now rest an inch or so on
the ground-an uncleanly, useless and
foolish fashion. Many women are study
ing the art of slightly raising their
skirts in graceful fashion. The left
arm lies at full length close to the side;
the hand shows the palm turned slight
| ly outwards, the fingers holding in a
loose grasp the collected folds of the
drapery-all well enough when one has
hand to spare, which is not always.
What is the use anyway of forming a
gown of length which has to be held
as you go, to keep it from the pavement?
Why not leave well alone, and have the
dress, in the beginning, Of a graceful,
neat and comfortable length? 1t is like
the divided skirt-this matter of improv-
ing upon what is already good enough.
To most people, a skirt that is full and
free, falling straight from the belt like
the old variety, is about as easy" and
comfortable" and healthy" and ''un-
hamporing" as the bifurcated sort-all
of which the ''dress-reformers" claim
for the latter style.-N. Y. Post.

thus far in the history of the Annex.
Tho Methodists of Cleveland, o.,
after two years of unremitting effort,
have raised $4,000, and have paid all
debts on the twenty churches of that
city, and IS, 900 remains in hand to APP
ply to the new mission chapels.
1t is expected that the Congrega-
tionalists will hold an international
council in London in July, 1891. The
committee recommends that the coun-
Gil consist of 100 delegates from Eng
land, 100 from America and 100 from the
rest of the world.
Henry Lee Higginson, of Boston,

One reason for the rapid progress OF
the early church was the thorough con-

The three men departed with sad

Scarcely had they left the room when
Katy Griffith entered.
Born when her father was compare
lively late in life, she was his darling,
and the light of his existence. 1t was
for her that he wished to become very
rich that he might make her match for

1t.
"They will overlook old John Grit.

papa, you were once poor yourself. You
should pity the poor"
At these words, Mr.. Griffith recalled
the difficult struggle he had early in
life, and the selfishness of his present
treatment of his poor operatives struck
him forcibly His own heart joined
with his daughter.
Are you in earnest, Katy, in what
you say?" he asked.
Surely, papa"

considerable difference in your fortune"
But l shall feel SO happy when

her arms around her fathers neck.
A servant was sent to Hugh Roberts
toUUdRG w Ulu nlll COuS w UnO RIGdb
house. He was sitting in moody silence
in his poor cabin, which was pervaded
by general air of want and discomfort.
He did not understand the summons,
but thought he might be going to re-
ceive his discharge in return for his
bold request. Again he was ushered
into the presence of his employer.
81 have been thinking of your re-
quest, my man." said Mr.. Griffith in a
kind tone, "and though doubt whether
any other manufacturer would grant it,
have made up my mind to do it."
"Bless you, sirp' said Hugh Roberts,
his face lighting up Heaven will
reward you. Then we shall have three
shilling and sixpence hereafter?"
"You shall have four shillings."
-Four shillings! Are you really in
earnest sir?"
Truly so. The overseer shall 20
ceive my instructions tomorrow"
The workman burst into tears, but
they were tears of Joy.
THE men will bless you," he sale,
smlllng, and the words had pleasant
sound for Mr.. Griffith. A hearty bless
ing is not to be despised.
1t was found on experiment that the
profits of the business were but little
affected by the increased wages, for the
men now worked with a hearty good
will which enabled them to accomplish
more work in day. so that Katy's sac
ritice will be less than was supposed.
Every day she rejoices over the addi.
tional comforts secured by the extra
shilling paid at her instgation. -

Biddy Creates a Sensation.

A short time ago family living on
State street extension hired green
servant. She was told by her mistress
to wash the second-story windows. She
had seen the way in which that labor
was performed by the neighboring serv-
ants, and was all right as far as washing
the outside of the windows was con-
cerned. When that part Of the job had
been finished, it occurred to her that
the proper thing was to wash the inside
in the same way. What was the sur
prise and edification of the passers by
to see pair of generously proportional
neither limbs, clad in brilliantly striped
hosiery, dangling from the outside of
the window, with the ownBr blissfully
unconscious of the sensation she was
creating. The lady of the house saw
the crowd collecting and went out to
see what was the matter. Looking up
ward the queer spectacle met her gaze.
Shocked and Mortified she rushed in
doors and called the domestic to the

father, smiling fondly upon her.
"I'm always WE'LL" she said lightly;
"but, papa, who were those poor men

Seeding them?"
What makes you ask, Katy?"
Because they looked SO sad and dis

''Did they?" asked Mr.. Griffith, with
momentary conjunction.
"Yes, papal and heard one of them

"They were men from the mill,
Katy"

you tell them about the work?"

But they can't live on three shil

did they ask for?"
"Sixpence day."
"Only sixpence day, and you re-
fused said Katy, reproachfully.
But consider, my dear, on all my
workmen it would amount to more thar
two thousand pounds year."
"And how much do you make in {

man in the kingdom that would be glad

He was interrupted here by the en-
trance of servant.
'Mr. Griffith" he said, "there are
three men below who would like to see

'Phree men?"

, said the servant, who understood the
question. ''rhey are men from the
mill, Pm thinking"
Very we'll; show them up"
1t was a holiday, and the works were
not in operation, so that the operatives
were off work.
Then was heard the tramp of heavy
boots on the staircase, and presently
entered three men, whose dress and APP
pearance indicated clearly that they be-
longed to the class who are doomed to
earn their daily bread by hard and I'M
remitting labor
"What is your business with me, my
mem?' asked Mr.. Griffith, rising and
surveying them with interest Are you
emplyed in the mill?"
]. "Yes sir" said the foremost, Hugh
Roberts, Eyes, Mr.. Griffith, sir, we are
employed in the mill, and it's about
that we've come to see you"
Every we'll" said John Griffith, re-
Stunning his seat, "speak on, whatever
you have to say to me-"
@'It's this, Mr. Griffith, sir, and hope
you won't be offended at what l say
We came here to humbly beg that you
would be pleased to raise our wages"

Mr. Griffith, in a displeased tone.
"Yes, sir. / hope you won't be Of

Don't give as high wages as are
paid in other mills?"
"Mayhap you do, sir; but it's very
hard to get along on three shillings a

:" ''But if l should pay higher wages
than others, they could undersell me in
the market"
81 don't know, sir, but / think we
should work more cheerful, and dc
more in a day, if we felt that we had a
little more to live on, so that the wife
and children needn't have to pinch and
go hungry"
These words were uttered in manly
and straightforward tone, and there was
not a little pathos in them, but il
seemed lost upon Mr.. Griffith.
Its only sixpence more day we
ask, sir" said Hugh Roberts, pleading
ly.
Mr.. Griffith made mental calcula-
ton. He had three hundred men in his
employ. He found that sixpence a day
additional would make sum total
during the year, of over two Thousand
pounds. This reflection hardened his
heart against the applicants.
NO" he said, ''your request is un
reasonable can not accede to it."
But, sir" said Hugh Roberts, "thinl

1T is hard, no doubt" said Mr. Crit

advance you desire"
'"Then you refuse, sir?"

bitterly, crushing his hat between hi
