FLO'S LETTER.

A sweet little baby brother
Had come to live with Flo,
And she wanted it brought to the table
That it might eat and grow
at must wait for awhile" said grandma
In answer to her plea,
For little thing that hasn't teeth
Can't eat like you and me-
''Why hasn't it got teeth. grandmaT'
Asked Flo, in great surprise;
so my but isn't it funny?
No teeth-but nose and eyesf
l guess" after thinking grayely)
They must have been fordot-
Can't we buy him some like grandpas
I'd like to know why not."
That afternoon to the corner,
With paper, and pen, and ink,
Went Flo, saying: Don't talk to me,
If you do it II stop my think;
I'm writing letter, grandma,
To send away tonight,
And cause it's very 'portant
1 want to get it right
At last the letter was finished,
A wonderful thing to see
And directed to God IN Heaven"
please read it over to me,'
Said little Flo to her grandma,
''To see if it's right, you know"
And here is the letter written
To God by little FloI
Dear God: The haby you brought US
Is awfully nice and sweet,
But course you fordot his tooies;
The poor little thing can't eat:
That's why I'm writing this letter
A purpose to let you know.
Please come and finish the baby;
That's all; from

new colors are to be found in the new
SateenS, challieS and other summer
goods.
And now word in regard to the
makeup" of the spring suit.
The latest ukase of foreign fashion
has brought back the gored skirt of
twenty years ago, and it is cut exactly
as it was then, with the exception of the
back breadth, which is now sometimes
to be found with that breadth also gored:
but more often with the fuIlness massed
in fan pleats. These skirts are fitted
perfectly plain over the hips. The diff
ference between the then and the now
in the Innings of these skirts is this:
We shall continue to arrange them on
an underSkirt, sewing straight seam
to the bias to prevent the dreadful
''sagging," which every woman who
confesses to being more than twenty
years old remembers painfully well to
have been the most disagreeable feature
of the gored skirt as then made upon
stiff gauZe lining, which soon lost its
stiffness without any other attached
skirt.
Growing out of these gored skirts is
the idea of cording or other trimming
for the seams. This emphasizes the
cores and produces lengthening eff
feet. But we know that length is a
fashionable necessity at present, not
only in the skirt, but in the waist also.
The striving after this point is to be seen
in shorter shoulder seams and stralghter
curves in side forms, making those seams
reach nearly to the shoulder, and also
in the long-ftting waists. Verify, though
the plump proportions of stout women
may be study in curve to delight an
artist, the long woman is away at the
head in the race for grace and in the
natural requisites for showing off the
styles heralded for this spring. This
plain long style is particularly effective
in rich gowning, as in Oriental silks,
velyets OF brocadeS, and in the selection
of such materials we hear only the rich
est and darkest hues are to be used.
One of the novelties in waists is called
the dinner coat. 1t is usually made of
brocade or velvet, and intended to be
worn with silk or wool skirt. 1t is of
the Louis XIV. shape, often cut as long
as the examples given in pictures of the

However sad, doth in the heart enfold
A hidden germ of promise; for l hold
Whatever might have been shall be- Though in
Some other realm and life the soul must win

In this other model Redfern shows his
versatility by giving US very odd cape
OF leaf green silk which is SO transparent
as to show the lining of soft rose color.
The cape is slashed over the arms and
laced with pink and silver cords. In

Another style has fOotband of her
culeSe braid, about quarter of yard
deep. If the serge is in one of the
lighter shades, such as silver gray,
tawny, italian pink or mauve, then this
braid is in ecru. and the embroidery in
silks, and cord-work will have mixture
of tinSel and such bewildering blend
ing of French cOlors, that the most cor
rect eye cannot distinguish which pre-
dominates.
Both the herculese braid and corduroy
effects are new patterns on robes, and
in addition there are many cooked
over'' ideas that will prove quite paiat-
able to the fashionable taste. In colors
we have perfect feast in new and in
describable shades with unpronouncable
names, and in addition many old colors,
after the manner of some people, have
come back with French names calcu-
lated to deceive the unwary. Then,
too. there are some genuine Old-faSh-
Toned colors called by their right names.
Among this class there comes recon-
mended as the ''most popular" all the
colorS seen in that genus of mauy spe-
cies, the flag or water lily. These iris
cOlOrs, whether iris-blue, iris-yelloW or
iris-purple, will be found very trying to
any one not the pOsseSSor of Dresden
china complexion.
Women will be quick to discover this
and the iris will perhaps suffer in pop
ularity accordingly. Heliotrope and the
darker pansy shades are again to the
fore, and let US hope they will be worn
only by the yeliowest of yellow blondes.
This spring will be no exception to its
predecessors when it brings return of
the prolific green family. This color
! more than any other seems suitable for
the season. We still have that loveliest
! of all green shades, the linden, together
with moss, stem, leaf water green, etc.
Silver trimmings are more than ever
used for browns, such as tan bark. nut or
the new Sabot, brown named after the
color of the wooden shoe of the French
peasantry. The newest blue has the
French name of bleu heraut, or heraldic

Attention has again been drawn TO the at
tempt made by Napoleon III. to place upon
throne in the New World the Archduke
MaximilIan OF Austria, who, after his short
reign as Emperor of Mexico, met violent
death. The unfortunate Carloita, the wifs
OF Macmillan, crazed by her husbands mis-
fortunes and tragic death, is now the inmate
OF mad house, hopelessly insane. Only a
short time ago. the Prince Rudolph, nephew
OF the dead Macmillan and heir to the
throne of Austria, took his own life. Now
all Europe Is talking of the death of Prince
Baudoin. heir to the throne of B .lgium.
And this Prince Baudoin was a nephew of
insane Carlotta. From Brussels comes the
official statement that the death of the
Prince was caused by complication of
small pox, bronchitis, and other troubles,
but the story told in the capitals of Europe is
different one. It relates the love of the
Prince for girl of plebeian extraction, the
anger of King Leopold, who has driven the
young woman from his kingdom, insisting
that Baudoin should give up his plan of mar
rying her and resigning his title, and finally.

either from broken heart or by suicide. It
may be that the Official statement gives the
true cause of the death and that the story
which is the sensation of the day in Europe
is nothing but fabrication, but, in the mind
OF the public, this story seems to find extenl
siye belief and the sad occurrence will be
likely to go down in history as another of the
calamities to the reigning houses of Europe

This shows that when scheme like STAN
