Spring Fashions.

Now, old dame Nature was worn and anxious
For winter was slipping last away,
While scarcely stitch had yet been taken
On gowns that were needed the tlrst OF May
And while she Justly cut and fashioned,
Her children clamored in wild distress'
Each one giving a hundred directions
As TO the color and style of her dress.

Blue" begged the Violet, shy and sweet;
white" said the Jonquil, white. remember'
Purple" the pansy exclaimed IN neat;
While through the clamor and din Of voices
For yellow and lavender, bun and white,
Old dame Nature worked buslly onward,
Striving 10 please them as best she might.
Buf, 10 when the children went a-Maying,
Their tiny gowns were a sorry sight;
In each were mingled. in strange confusion,
Brcdths Of red the qucenly Tulip
Came ont IN colors OF every hue;
While the mortified pansy was wearing

evidence that freedom produces purity"
"Wiil TIE negro catch up with the whites

"You must remember that the white men
are of Aryan breed. and have been engaged IN
political amehoration and intellectual pur-
suit. Tor more than 5000 years. The negro,
ON the other hand. has been engaged IN these
only a little over century-l25 years. IL

March has brought with 1t anything but
foretaste Of spring, the days reminding one
more of drear and chill November than early
springtime. One goes about enveloped in
furs. and it seems absurd TO think of spring
gowns. Nevertheless, the average woman
has a keen delight in ordering her Easter

experience that. in all probability, it Will be
too cold to wear it. and she must appear in
