Modern Proverbs.

Seest thou man diligently opposing
home industry and discouraging the
workers therein? He shall not stand
before the kings of trade and manu-
facture, nor be honored in his country,
but as a soft clog on the wheel ofprog
ress he shall be called Mud. But he
that promoteth a home industry bene-
6teth himself and his neighbors and
his country, and he shall receive honor
and shall be called Enterprising.-

There seems to be almost rage for
violets as hat trimmings, and they are
frequently used so profusely as to COM
pose nearly the whole hat. Violets
and mimosa are favorite combina-
ton. Sometimes there will be four
punches of the former set at the four
corners Of what is almost a square
bonnet, and a fan shaped arrangement
Of the mimosa in front. Such bon
net will be made of black lace and jet,
or the crown will be of jet with little
fluting of lace sticking out thereirom.
Jet is great deal used in combination
with colors. Sprays of jet will form
the sides of a bonnet, the front OF
which consists of fern hutings of light
black lace, little posies of cowslips
being inserted back and front, or,
perhaps, cowslips in front and tufts of
violets behind. Fanciful arrangements
of this kind are preferred to straw
bonnets, though straw crowns of some
bright color, such as green, mauve or
old rose, will be set in pompon of
white or black lace, the whole being
finished by cluster of velvet roses or
other flowers in front, or fern pleatings
of lace, fastened by brooch in which
imitation emeralds, amethysts, or
rubies glitter.
The line of demarcation between
the hat and bonnet is very slight,
many Of the former being hardly
bigger than bonnets; still they always
have brim, however narrow, which
overshadows the brow somewhat.
There is great fancy just now for
black lace hats. The lace is sup
ported on invisible wires, and the
whole construction is as light and
dlaDhanOllS as DOSSjble
