colors that she can have if she likes them better. The sash must be tied in the back in big bow, and the whole effect be as much like Japanese lady's dress as is 'convenable," as the French say.
 Both of those dresses make good, easy crying gowns, for brides must make al- lowances for the times that the "angel" will grumble over his breakfast or forget to kiss his little "wifey" after losing his temper hunting an hour for collar button.
 Let mo just here, out of the abun- dance of experience, suggest to all "wifeys" that they make it point to buy three or four dozen bone collar but tons, with long sh&nks, and keep these handy, so that when precious hubby" loses his collar button they can say, "Here, dear, take this, and I will hunt for yours later" How much trouble and vexation this simple expedient might save, and how many gallons of scalding tears cannot tell. No person can blame man for losing his temper with his collar button if he is in hurry. and the amount of time and forethought it requires to lay in stock of emer- gency collar buttons is small compared to the blessing of having one in time of need.

 There will be boas of all kinds, long and short, and simple cellars of seal, with sable tails. Beaver will be worn and a good deal of fluffy furs, such as sea otter, fox and brown bear. Sea ot- ter collars are very handsome. Muffs can be big or little, as one's taste sug- gests. The Russian huff, which is quite fiat, with pocket to hold bon. quet and purse at the back, and some sort of an animals head, are novelties. Mink is in favor, and in fact almost all kinds of fur will be worn. Sable and seal are the most expensive; sea otter next.
 The astrakhan is of two qualities; that with large grain is the least expensive; that obtained from the unborn animal is the finest and most costly. It is much cheaper than it has eyer been before.
 Fur trimming in very narrow bands is put on nearly everything, some even having it on their underclothes and bon nets and about the tops of their shoes, It makes it good for the fur trade. but rather hard on the animals.

EnYlIsh Policemen.

The police regulations in England are very different from those common in this country. The policeman there is not nearly so autocratic as he is here and would never think of using a club or striking man, except in self defense. J. Gilmer Speed gives this story of their mild sway:
 Upon one occasion a man came into my office and created disturbance. l ordered him out. He declined to go, 80 sent for policeman. A sergeant came. said to him:
 "This man does not belong here and refuses to leave my office. Will you please take him outY'
 expected the sergeant to tell the man he must go, and then if he did not move on expected to see the officer remove him by force. Not at all. The sergeant said, "You had better leave here, sir, " and his tone was as respectful and civil as though he was asking favor.
 The man manifested no intention of leaving, and the police officer began an inquiry as to his reasons for wanting to stay. This so exasperated me that put the man out myself, greatly to the astonishment and apprehension of the officer
 He explained to me that had no right to interfere in the matter had brought to his attention, and that doubtless the intruder would get out warrant against me and have me arrested for assault.

A Mexican Bat in a Rirdcage

In little out of the way alley not far from Stuyvesant square there is small, dingy barroom. It is the favorite drink. ing place of a dozen or more old men, who are cronies and have met and played chess there for many years. The aged proprietor of the place has filled the room with riosities-strange stuffed bir&, autographs of old New Workers, theater tickets of quarter of 8 century ago, a few old fashioned collars, etc. The old gentleman is facetious occa- sionally. He has been chuckling over his latest joke for week or two.
 Hanging from the ceiling directly over the bar is a bamboo birdcage. The four sides of the cage are covered with cloth curtains. On one of these curtains is printed this inscription, "A Mexican Bat" Of course every customer wants to see the animal, but on lifting the cur. tain one sees nothing but brick sus. pended from the top of the cage by a string. The experiment generally costs the curious person at least the price ot five flagons of ale. New York Tribune

One woman's Life Story.

l am twenty-two years old and have been married four years. My husband was visiting at my home (which was in England) at the time of my birth, there fore was acquainted with me from ear Hest infancy. AS we grew up we were frequently thrown into each others society, but when he arrived at the age of seventeen and was twelve we were parted. my husband coming to America, where he staid five years, at the ex- piration of which time we were to be married; but unfortunately he lost all his money in Liverpool, and on arrival at my home was penniless. Consequent ly we could not be married. My hus- band returned to this country to work for another year to earn enough money to pay my passage over, as we were en- tirely dependent on our own exertions.
 At the end of twelve months he again started for England, but had to return again on account of collision. Finally he arrived in England, where we were married short time after and sailed for New York. AS soon as we landed l was taken very sick, was taken to hos pital and went under dangerous opera tion, which cost every cent of money we had in the world, At last got better, we hired couple of rooms, my hus- band succeeded in get ing work, and al- though we are very poor we are very happy. am the proud mother of two children.-Cor.

An energetic German professor was conducting musical society. They were studying Mendelssohn's "Elijah, 1" and had reached the chorus, Hear us, Baal; hear, mighty godr' The mems voices were booming out sonorously when the conductor cried out: Node dreadful vowel! Don't say Bale; soften leetle-give de more musical sound, Bal" Whereupon the chorus took up the strain again, Hear us, Bawl; hear us, Bawlr'-but they quickly realized the peculiar fitness of the senti- ment, and broke downin laughter, to the great amazement of the little German, who never saw the joke, but who turned reluctantly to the old pronunciation London Tit-Bits.

THE BRIDAL GOWN. the sleeves are exactly right to 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 young girl cannot resist the desire to be arrayed in bridal robes No toilet, however superb, can fill girls ideal of perfection but this. If l were young man and wanted to press my suit, would save my money, and not spend it on flowers and candy, but 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 a white velvet prayer book to this outfit, or she might carry bouquet, which ever pleased her best.
 Ab uOul6 dllcI luS W6uuluS UUeTo would be bewitching array of pretty morning and afternoon gowns to show Charlie or Johnnie that he had not made bad bargain and got a 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 dull, rainy days, and 80 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 qui- etly to sew something, and to receive her friends and tell them how happy she is over delicious cup of tea. Then she can bring out her dainty new tea gown, with its flaring chrysanthemums, purple on tan ground, with rich prune velvet trimming, its graceful cascade of lace, and its sash and neckfolds of Jap anese crape 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
