THE AFTERNOON NAP.

German women, with very few eA
ceptiCns, spend the afternoon from
midday dinner until o'clock coffee ID
sleep. We need not be very hard upon
these excellent creatures, who have
risen early to superintend household
matters and prepared their husbands
breakfasts at an hour when we are calm
ly sleeply in darkened bedrooms. No
rather let rs rejoice that the luxury Is
cheerfully accorded to them by their
lords and masters.
1t is rather surprising, however, TO
to ind that American women, who can
not boast of rising with the lark unless
the lark rises at 10 \. NJ, are pretty

CURRENT FASHIONS.

Above all nations the French show
the greatest genius for shades end har-
monious combinations, and 1t is from
them that we obtain most of our plans
of coloring and combination of shades
and contrasts.
At present the colors are SO de-
lightfully soft and harmonious, that
there seems to be no excuse for offend
ing in this direction. All the present
fashionable colors are capable of sew
raj contrasts, and this is one of the
points that should be carefully studied
by every woman when selecting her
costumes.
Dress skirts continue to be of simple
shape with a tendency TO decrease IN
length. The "Cornet" which has sue
ceeded the "Umbrella" shape has one
advantage in that it has seam at each
side of the skirt, one for the pocket
and another for the placket hole. 1t
requires less mater al and is likely to
be extensively adopted for all summer
fabrics. 1t Is rrettily trimmed with
lace or guipure over the hem, and a
silk frill beneath. These skirts are
easy to make, and being slightly
trained, IN accordance with the present
fashion, no difficulty will be found in
cutting off the small train, thus reduc-
ing it to walking length.
While every part of the skirt is made
with n simplicity that borders on Sc
yeiity. the bodice and sleeves show great
elaboration. The bodice proper par
takes of three styles-the long Rus
sian blouse, the short pointed basque
with the coat-tail back, and the corse-
let bodice. In spite of the prevalence
of the Russian blouse. deep basques
are decidedly going out of fashion, and
the majority of dresses are now made
with short wasted or pointed bodlces,
generally accompanied with some form
of corselet.
Dress sleeves have still more or less
fulness on the shoulders, while very
many are III the mu ton-leg shape, long
and very close from elbow to wrist
and upon handsome gowns are I'm
ished with a fall of real lace. The
bishop variety. with cuff of greater
or less length, will be favorite style

lawn, and light fabrics OF every de-
1oription.
Leather and lace Gs a trimming Tor
the same dress are apt to be thought as
incongruous as the fur and lace used
so much on cloth dresses last winter,
yet We see circles of tan-colored kid |

white guIpure lace yokes and cuffs of

have gilt dots In the centre and are
gilt edged. They are fastened by loops |
of fine gilt cord, and are used to close |
corsages and sleeves.
Fancy outing fiannels will be espe

year, their dainty gingham-like stripes,
checks. and dots giving them great |
variety in color. Another favorite |
material for wear at summer resorts, |
are the gay Bedford cords in fancy |

description. These fabrics are ad- |

The Poets NarcIssus is a flower Of
clear ivory white carrying a golden
crown tipped with pink in its midst
1t bends gently over and delights in
shade and moisture.
The old fables regarding this flower
represents it as the metamorphosis of a
young shepherd with whom a thousand
nymphs had fallen in love. Echo was
reated with Indifference by the youth
and her beauty wasted away. The pity.

ganders in remote places bewailing her
unhappy fate. Narcissus was over

Descending into the shades, he sought
the river Styx from whose shadowy

The Coq.latry n Editor.
(Globe-DeraocYat, Editorial.1

be-Democrat, Editorial.
The country editor deserves
a good deal more consideration
than he geiietallY receives. He
renders service of surprising
value, for which he rarely OF
never gets reasonable credit.
There is no other man in the
community who does so much
work for so little pay, or who is
willing to subordinate private
interest to public necessity and
advantage. He lies awake of
nights to devise means of max.
ing himself useful to his own
town. His paper is a source Of
constant benefit to- its readers
as an advocate of everything
that is calculated to promote
their welfare and prosperi-
ty. n X n He is content
if he can make a living. When
he does more than that the bal
ance. goes to the improvement
of his paper, and so the people
get the profit after all. He doss
not expect a just and fair re-
turn for his labor, like men en-
gagged in other kinds of bust.
ness. The force of custom and
tradition obliges him to be ev-
erybody's servant in a certain
sense, and to seize every chance
of assisting other people in their
various enterprises and ambiti.
ons. He must study to please
his patrons by making himself
a practical help to them. This
is the test of his ability and the
measure of. his popularity. In
short, he is the best existing H.
lustration Of the theory of rec.
ompepse that makes virtue its
own reward.
There is another side to the
matter. however. The country
editor is not a prophet without
honor in his locality. He weilds
a decided influence, and is. fre-
quently the. controlling spirit in
controversies Of great pith and
, moment. 1t is bis province to
/, keep close to the people. He
! knows what they think and
what they want. His facilities
t for convincing and pc, suading
G them are of a superior order,
r because he Genes in direct con-
! tact with them and is familiar
with their habits and tendencies.
