THE hAPpiESI HOUR.
How Some WelI-known Women An
swered an Interesting Question.

How Soma Well-known Women An
swered an Interesting Question.
Some time ago Edward w. Box, of the
Ladies' Home Journal, submitted to s
number of the best-known American
and European women the question:
(which, in your opinion, is the hap
piest hour of woman's life?' This
question is really the most unique of a
long list of questions concerning wom-
en-. their feelings and motives, that are
torturing the masculine mind. The an
swers were no less unique and full of
interest.
Louise Chandler Moulton said in re-
ply: But honestly think that real
happiness comes to woman only hand
in hand with love. When she
begins to feel that she begins to be
TREMENDOUSLY, deliciously, deliriously
happy But that is only the beginning.
When her troth is plighted-is that her
happiest moment? She does not think
SO then; for she is looking forward to
her bridal morning. The new life be-
gins. Is that. then, the happiest mo-
ment? Hardly. A year-a year of
mutual forbearance; of getting well ac-
quainted-a happy year, and now they
look III 10 cdCl OlHcI Eyes lCdt1CSSlJ.
They are one at last, and for all time!
Surely that is the happiest moment?
had made up my mind to say SO; but
is it?
All, think, after all, the happiest
moment is when love is sweet, shy
newcomer, and hope leads it by the
hand"
Rose Terry Cooke says: 81 believe
the happiest hour of a woman's life is
her last
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney thinks the
happiest hour depends upon which
woman it is, and does not think her hap
piest hour has yet come.
"The Duchess can not decide-there
are so many blissful hours in life for
most of US But, she, too, thinks ITO
love, and to feel oneself beloved-that
is indeed to know the best of life.'
Jenny June writes: Twice in my
life l have experienced moments of su-
preme exaltation, when all material
things seemed at distance from me,
and l was only alive to the perception
and influence of the profound emotion
excited by the circumstances and envir-
onment. One of these occasions was
on first arriving at Stratford-on-Avon,
the second while hearing 'ParsifaP at
Bayreuth. Since then l have had q dim
idea of the happiness we shall know
when we can see, feel and understand"
Mrs. Frank Leslie thinks it is in the
expectation of reaching the top brick
of the chimney" that the happiest hour
is begun; land, if by some prodigious
effort we secure it, we find it sooty, bat
tered, coarse, and clumsy, and we throw
it out of the window" and the Happiest
Hour OF Life is over.

The LATEST Man on Record.

Even the preachers are not averse to
a joke that lies in the line of the pre-
fessional funny man. One of them told
the following in an East-Side church
lately when he was invited to speak: A
traveller discovered a man lying on the
ground one warm day within foot or
two of the shade of tree. why
don't you lie in the shaded" he inquired.
II did," replied the man, but it has
moved away from me and l can't afford
to follow it, ''Wel, if you are not the
best specimen of lazy man have ever
seen yet! Make me another remark on
par with that and I'll give you quar-
ter" The man said: Put the quarter
into my pocket" He got it.-Buffalo

There's a good deal Of
guarantee business in the store
keeping Of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words-ozLy ao0ras.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice"
DR.. Pierce's medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money

parent.

a medicine which the makers
have so much confidence IN,

NEW BODICES.
Striking Effects in the Latest Styles OF
Trimming.

Striking Effects in tine Latest styles of
Trimming.
Many of the bodices are a puzzle to
the average loOlIer-On, as Il plan of Slip
ping in and out of them is often entirely
concealed. The lining is fitted as usual,
whatever effect the outside may
present. and the dress material is put
over it according to the needs or beau
ties of the figure. The front may have
Il yoke, with the material gathered over
the edge. small V corselet pieces from
the side seams. laced or hooled; or very
small jacket pieces, frequently called
s.arm-siZcd trimmings These acccSSo-
ries are of contrasting material,
which is usually of velvet, unless 4
combination of plain and plaid or
striped wooden goods is wished. \ fad at
present is for cloth sleeves and collar
of a contrasting color if worn with
plain goods, or of the chief shade or
black if worn in n plaid dress, which
are doubly stylish if covered with braid
ing. To have the sleeves stamped and
braided makes quite an expensive item.
But why not use Il stamping outfit and
cover the sleeves with an irregular
scroll and braid them at home with fine
cord or soutache braid? Open your bod
ice down the left shoulder and under
arm seams, under the V at the neck, or
come out boldly and button up the front
with rather small crochet buttons set
closely together, and six of the same up
each side of the coat-tail and on each
wrist at the outside in a lengthwise
row. You may have round basque
cut in square tabs or scallcps, and
bound with velvet ribbon or braid, for
a tailor gown: but for the others haze
a round or pointed front and round
ing point, or coat-tail back. The latter
is of a medium or n deep length, but
