Having already warned New England
wooden manufacturers that they must lad
Just their business TO new conditions" the
Boston Herald, while acknow Lodging that
the past two years have been "a period of
unqualified and perhaps unparalleled pros
penty," now informs the manufacturers
hat they could wisely assume mn attitude
of conservatism "in view of the radical
changes that are likely to take place
when tariff legislation has been perfected.
The compiaeeney, not to say eNultation,
with which the Herald greets the prospect
that large foreign imports may displace
American goods is not without its signifi-
caucc, but more suggestive still is the con
fession which these remarks involve that
the campaign humbug that the American
wooden industry would have an immediate
and wonderful expansion under free trade
has now been definitely abandoned.

main Small,
POINTS,.

Poppies will be much used for trimming
hats this spring.
White will be very generally worn during
the coming summer.
The purple and other bright colored wells
so recently worn are now out of style.
One of the new ideas is a black satin
bodice and skirt of some dark, rich cloth.
Many crownless little bonnets are also
shown with pointed front on eoronet brim.
Toques are round rather than long, with
fiutei edges like flower lying fatty on the
hair.
The law has been laid down: Short skirts,
and only short skirts, are to be worn in the
street.
Extremely small bonnets with long ears
that point down on each side of the Greek
knotted hair will be worn.
Some of the new ffounces have a rolled
hem and the upper part doubled like a
standing though plain rutfie.
Pretty simple dresses of white linen
lawn. with hem stitched tucks and hens,
will be quite the thing for dainty young
ladies'.
