a picture that possibly some American
bride may care to borrow the same
idea in dressing her little pages.
The young sister wore a frock made
of white mousseline de sole over a pale
blue silk slip The short skirt was
fluffy with billowy rufles. A kerchief
of mousseline de sole was draped over
the shoulders and tied in front with
long ends. The pulled elbow sleeves
were of pale blue silk. A big leghorn
hat rested on a crown of bobbing yell
low curls. The brim was faced with
the shirred mousseline de sole over blue
silk, the crown being hidden by
cluster of white tips. The small maiden
carried a shower bouquet of forget-me-
nots in her daintily gloved hand.
Her escort was attired in black vel
vet knicllerbockers, with a Highland
coat of pale blue satin. His wais tcoat
was of white silk. Black silk stock
ings and blue satin slippers completed
the costume.

Something New at Weddings.

At a recent wedding the somewhat
unusual array of nine ushers and nine
bridesmaids assisted Five of the bride
maids wore pale green and the four
others delicate shade of pink. All
had short wells matching the hue Of
their gowns. They came down the
aisle from the chancel to meet the
bride, walking first two, then one
alone, repeating the order until ushers
and maids were all in line.

ABOUT PIN CUSHIONS.
Fashion Has Once More Declared
in Their Favor.
Lace and Ribbon Essential to True Ele-
gance-NoveIties That Are as Dainty
as Dainty Can Be-Hat-
Pin Cushions.

At first thought a pin cushion Is .
prosaic thing. 1t is highly necessary
object, receptacle for an essential ele-
ment of the toilet-mayhap a conven-
fence which we should none of us like
to be without. A search among the
assortment of to-day will reveal some
fresh and Interesting facts, and will
show that the cushion has developed
out of the prosaic into something genu-
inely dainty and genuinely attractive
apart from its obvious use.
There are almost as many varieties
of cushions as there are of pins, and
the well equipped woman has many
sizes and many sorts. She not only
has her dressing table well supplied
and her hat pins, her scarf pins, her
stick pins and her plain everyday pins
provided with fitting receptacles, but
she has also her pocket cushions, which
she carries in her shopping or handker-
chief bag.
A bright girl once paraphrased the
familiar couplet with:

"a pin in need

and | doubt if there lives even one of
her sisters who would question the
truth so put. The want of pin has
many time become n vexation and
trial; the need of just one of the ia
miliar objects has been the cause of
many a loss of temper, and the fashion
that declares cushions essential is an
excellent one from an ethical as well
as from the merely unitarian point of
view.
The very latest decree of fashion de-
clares lace and ribbons essential to
true elegance, and prefers that the
dressing table cushions should be
round. 1t asserts that pocket cushions
are to be the vogue, and it makes sug
gestions for both my lady's boudoir
and for less aesthetic mans own room,
as well as for his pocket cushion,
which is really what its name implies.
The round cushions of embroidered
linen and lace are nearly as dainty as
dainty can be, and the long, narrow,
rectangular ones made from the same
or similar materials are charming
apart from their usefulness, which is,
of course, the first point to be borne in
mind.
As pretty a model for a lady's use as
any that have seen is made of fine
white Japanese linen, Oriental lace
and yellow satin ribbon. 1t is one of
the largest shown and would measure
nine or ten inches in diameter. 1t is
well stuffed, as all cushions, not es-
pecially round cushions, should always
be, and it has an under side of cowslip

is prefaced by an Illuminating sketch,
hundred pages in length, of political
events in Italy from the Roman days to

SO well that it makes one of the most

hence earns no witness fee. The number
of arrests during the past year mas not
varied materially from the year before,
but the witness fees turned over to the
city are less than one third as large. 1t
has been common rumor for some
months past that the police department
was very reluctant to prosecute men
arrested for misdemeanors, and that
a considerable per cent of these men
never went before the court. The public,
however, was probably not prepared to
believe that this practice has been car
ried on to the extent indicated by the
above figures. Reckoning on the basis
of last year it would appear that nearly
oue-half of the people arrested have
been discharged without an investigation
by the court. Assuming that all the ar
rests were properly made, and that evil
dence was to be had, every one OF
these discharges was a violation of the
ordinances of the city. The ordinances
make it the duty of the city marshal to
prosecute all offenders against the
laws of the state and the ordinances OF
the city, No discretion is allowed him
certainly no indiscretion such as the flg-
ures would seem to indicate that he has

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Brevity is but relative, and so the title
Short History of the Christian Church
written by John Fletcher Hurst, D. D.
LII. D., and published by Harper q
Brothers) though applied to stout and
closely printed crown octave of nearly
seven hundred pages, is not out OF place
when we compare the volume with the
works of Mosheim and Neander. The
Short History is in fact based on five
shorter ones prepared by DR.. Hurst be-
tween 1884 and 1892 and giving concise
accounts of the early church, the Medl@-
val Church, the Church Reformation, the
Modern Church in Europe, and the
Church in the United States-books
which were received with great favor.
To make the present work, all the matter
contained in the separate Short Histories
has been examined with care. a large
portion in every period have been re-
written Fundamental changes have
been made, such as summary Of litera-
ture at the beginning of each chapter,
important additions to the part assigned
the Reformation and especially such en-
largement of the parts relating to the
European Church in the Modern Period
and the Church in the United States as to
amount to an entirely new treatment.
The result of DIR. Hurst's latest labors
is one of the most convenient compen-
diums we have ever seen:-indeed, there
has been nothing exactly like it before.
1t conveys a vast amount of material
in concise form, brings within conven-
lent compass a great mass of information
heretofore scattered through many vol
umes, is admirably arranged with regard
to the needs of the student as we'll as
the general reader, and written in a
lucid, attractive style and with as much
impartiality as can be reasonably ex-
pected of an author whois himself theo-
logian-in fact with far more impartial
ity than experience has taught us to ex-
pect. The big book is not only of gen
eral interest to the reading public, but
also of particular value to the student
for purposes of reference. Fine maps
add measurably to its worth.

The Providence Journal interprets the
selections which Mr.. Cleveland has made
for his cabinet as indicating that his
administration is to be a personal one.
It is certain that he has given the lead
ers of his party the cold shoulder, for
with the exception of Mr.. Carlisle
no member of the cabinet so far
selected has ever been a leader of the
Democratic party or very prominent in
it. The last public utterance of Judge
Gresham, which was made in October,
indicated that he was not in full sympa-
thy with the Democratic party, though
he was going to vote for Mr. Cleveland.
Ilamonts selection is purely personal.
He was never leader in the party,
though he is doubtless an efficient and
popular man. Bissell goes into the cabi-
net simply because some years ago he
was Mr.. Cleveland's law partner. Hoke
Smiths principal recommendation is
that he did valiant service for Mr.. Cleve-
land before the Democratic convention
met in the Atlanta Journal. 1t is not
strange that when the old line Democrats
who have borne the burden and heat of
the day, run down this list they turn
away in disgust. But whether they like
the dose or not they have got to take it.

The witness fees that are earned by
police officers by their testimony in
criminal cases in the municipal court,
are not paid by the county to the officers,
but to the city. The city's receipts
from this source indicate the frequency
with which officers have been called as
witnesses, and this in turn shows APP
proximately how many persons have
been before the court for misdemeanors
of various sorts. Last year the city's re-
ceipts from this source were $4,505.45.
This year they have been only $1,21717, a
falling off of over $4,000. This reduction
is undoubtedly due in large measure
to the practice which has prevailed ex-
tensively during the past year of allow

In two volumes with melodramatic
chapter headings like those which dis
figure Motley's Dutch Republic, William
Roscoe Thayer tells the story of the
Dawn of Italian Independence, the peri
cd from the Congress of Vienna in 1914
to the fall of Venice in 1S49. 1t is an in
teresting theme and ably handled,
though the hard brilliancy of the au-
thor's style and it's crudeness of color
hurt the minds eye. The continuous
display of ornate rhetoric and impas-
stoned phrase tires, SO that long before
the end the author ceases to excite his
readers and only succeeds in exciting
himself. But Mr.. Thayer's vicious style
is half redeemed by his noble enthusi-
asm. He has put his heart into his
work.
The time between the golden days of
the Napoleonic kingdom of Italy and the
coming of the French to the deliverance
of Lombardy was time of baffied aspi-
rations and of prisings that were hope
less from the start. Men like Mazzini ia
Rorae and Manin at Venice, adopts in a
sham classicism, played at tribunates
and triumyirates which Hapsburg and
Este and Bourbon found no great diff
Guilty in putting down. They were the
men who, as Madame de Stael makes Co.
rhine say, mistook memories for hopes
qui ont 1oris les souvenirs pour les esper-
ances. 1t was not until the coming OF
Cavour, the greatest constructive states
man of this century, who had disliks
and distrust of red republicanism, that
italian unity was made possible, under a
constitutional monarchy. Whatever
you call your policy" he used to say, ''it
has no value except as it carries out your
object. The men of energetic measures
are no novelty in the world. Every Pc
Rod of transition has known them, and
history teaches us that they have never
succeeded in anything, except sometimes
in forming the subject Of romance,
sometimes in running the most important
interests of humanity. The more they
despise the ordinary paths of nature, the
less chance have they of success"
Mr.. Thayer stops decade short of
the successful war of 1869, and SO gives
us no more than a glimpse of Cavour and
nothing of that cool-headed statesman
constructive work. His task is to tell
the history of the enthusiasts who suf-
fered SO much and accomplished SO little
