HARP OF TARA'S HALL.

It VIII BE Represented in Growing sham
rocks at the Fair.
The harp Of Tara's hall, about which
Tom Moore wrote, will be represented in
green shamrocks at the worlds fair
At Brooklyn there is a little girl named
Ely Landwersiek who originated the
idea. Miss Eily's father is German,
but her mother was born near the Hill
of Tara, County Meath, Ireland. The
girl is said to be an intense Irish patriot.
She is a member of the Gaelic society
of New York. At one Of the meetings
of the society two months ago a paper
was read treating of the subject of an
appropriate Irish exhibit at the exposi-
ton.
Nothing definite was decided on, but
Eily's brain was at work. She had
heard of associations being formed by
Irish men and women in Ireland, in
Australia, and almost every other part
OF the earth. While she heard a good
deal about preparations she saw moth
ing definite done. Then she evolved n
little scheme of her own and resolved
to carry IL out.
She wrote TO the Horticultural depart
ment of the worlds fair and asked for
space for fashioning with shamrocks a
representation of the harp of King
Brian Boru. the Irish king. who in the
eleventh century drove the Danes out of
ireland. A few days ago Chief Thorpe
gave her plot eight feet square for the
irish harp. Miss Ely says she has Sc
cured picture of the harp OF Brian
and has arranged for shamroclSs from
the hills OF Tara. She will plant them
next st. PatriclSs day.

The garment was lined with pale blue
satin.
/ also saw q coat for ordinary every
day wear, which is no common sight
just at this reckless season of the year,
when all the winter extravagances first
appear. It was of heavy mixed gray, q
pretty, light gray, and had two small
box plaits down each side Of the front
and the back; was belted in very loose
ly and fastened with little gray fur
beads. The wide sleeves had two heads
apiece, and the gray astralxhan collar,
with deep pointed yoke, terminated in
heads also. Such plain winter coats as
have come out thus far are belted for the
most part, though so loosely that one
wonders why the girdle Is put around.
A splendid garment for fall climbing
or country tramping is of extremely
heavy brown cheviot, made also in box
plaits, and has full hood lined with
dark tan silk; the hood ties in front
with heavy cords that have tan colored
leather tassels hanging from them.
The garment, falling to the feet, is
confined by a broad leather belt.
A mantle that has a quiet. sensible
look about it that is most pleasing is
made of dark sage cloth, has a large
square yoke of rioh black passementeric
in the back as well as the front, and
deep black fringe all around.
