ally possessed of hearty good nature
when he begins the business cares of the
day. A business friend who stood in
the corridor outside the offices of the
New York Central railroad was APP
preached by Mr.. Depew, who threw up
his hands with a gesture of delight and
said: II am feeling as happy as a bird
today. Come with me and / will tell
you all about il" and with gentle pres
sure Mr. Depew forced his friend into
his private Office.
The great orator was dressed in that
English suit Of which 50 much has been
written, and which he purchased notify
desire, but through necessity. 1t was
not the suit which changed his appear
ance, but a new alpine hat, one which
he bought in Germany, and which he
wore with dainty and fashionable tilt,
so that it made him seem even younger
than he usually appears when he returns
from his Europeans trips refreshed and
rejuvenated. 1t was at this hat that the
business friend glanced, nor did Mr.. De-
pew remove it during the conversation,
so that his friends attention was dis
tracted somewhat from the interesting
account the railway president gave Of
the experience which made him feel so
joyful that morning.
Said he, Il have finished my Column
bus grafton, and tell you a great load
has been taken off my mind"
But why" said the friend, should
the completion Of an Grafton give you
such relief? Usually you do not mind
that sort of task very much"
But minded this one, tell you,

there would be any oration or not. You

This brain machine Of mine would not
work at all well. 1t was rusty, and the

thought Of some of HE addresses which
had promised to deliver upon my re-
turn. it seemed as though never could

"You must have been tired to have
had such feeling" said the friend.
"Yes, was. Well. the day before

dictated twenty letters canceling agree

While strolling around Oxford Furnace

"Yes," he responded, "but not through

THE BRIDAL GOWN. inc Sleeves are
exactly right to a fold, and that the
dainty orange blossoms on her shoulders
and in her hair are fresh and sweet, for
they must be real, and she will pass
blissful hour, whether her dream ever
realizes or not.
Half the marriages come about Just
because a young girl cannot resist the
desire to be arrayed in bridal robes. No
toilet, however superb, can fill a girls
ideal Of perfection but this. If were
a young man and wanted to press my
suit, would save my money, and not
spend it on flowers and candy, but l
would haunt the fashion books and
make an album Of bridal gowns which
"she" should have. "She" could not re-
sist it, for by some subtitle process that
no one can ever define she would in
spirit enter into one Of those pictured
forms and never rest satisfied until the
dream was a reality. She might add
white velvet prayer book to this outfit,
or she might carry bouquet, which
ever pleased her best.
At home after the wedding there
would be a bewitching array Of pretty
morning and afternoon gowns to show
Charlie or Johnnie that he had not
made bad bargain and got wife who
was pretty only in her bridal attire.
There is one dark red cashmere break
fast gown, en- princesse, with black vel
vet vest front, collar and cuffs, and in it
she looks sweet enough to eat and
would charm away the gloomiest rain
clouds. Every woman should have at
least one bright colored home dress on
purpose for duh, rainy days, and so she
would be literally the brightness and
sunlight Of home. Men and boys love
to see the head of the household in
bright colored gowns.
In the afternoon, when all the domes-
tic machinery has been oiled and pol
ished, the little wife may sit down quiz
city to sew something, and to receive
her friends and tell them how happy
she is over n delicious cup of tea. Then
she can bring out her dainty new tea
gown, with its flaring chrysanthemums,
purple on a tan ground, with rich prune
velvet trimming, its graceful cascade Of
lace, and its sash and necSfolds of Jap
anese Grape in the same rich Color
True, She must be young and have an
irreproachable complexion to dare that
color next her face, but there are other
