Neckwear In Lace, Frills and Box Plated

OF the frivolous bits Of ribbon and feathers un-

stree. wear. And there Is such variety OF
ways in which these things may be combined
that even the unimaginative need not be at q
loss. The softly curled ostrich boa tied closely
about the ne OK is the simplest and fundamental
form Of neck furnishing. The long boa Of dyed
feathers is still popular, despite its long estab
hshed claim for favor.
Then come the ribbon capes. made OF strips
Of satin ribbon sewed together in Jokes or ruffs
or shoulder straps or harnesses which fasten
about the waist. Sometimes they are mere
skeletons, and again they are laid over founda-
tions of heavy cream or black net. The lace may
be close to the dress or be huffed in plaits be-
tween the ribbon straps.
The next development il the velvet collarette.

Of gilt passementerie or an ostrich collar. The
velvet is lined with brilliant changeable silk,
thrown very much in evidence by the great full

the REASON WE DIDN'T SEE THE STAGE.

Then, by folding our spines and shutting down

Gen. Grants first Inauguration day, March
4, 1868, had rain in the morning, but the
weather cleared later. The city was profusely
decorated and the crowd OF visitors was esti-
mated to be one-third greater than at any pre-
vious Inauguration. There was q decidedly
strained feeling between President johnson
and Gen Grant and it was not known whether
Mr.. johnson would ride to the Capitol with the
Presidentelect As Q compromise it was pro-
posed that the President and President-elect
should ride In different carriages and be driven
abreast, but Mr.. johnson declined to accept

AN ocsAM TROLLEY.
The Latest Plan 10 sesd Ships Spinning
big Acress the Ocean.

AcfShe the Ouoau.
It is pretty well understood that the lin
1t Of speed in ocean steamers Is about
reached II the present models are adhered
to, and that II there is to be any gain in
swiftness it must be by the trial OF a new
form. The difficulty is to devise vessel
OF which the structural strength shall be
great enough to carry the massive engines
requisite for increased speed and at the
same time to resist the force of the ocean
storms. II the sea were calm. there would
be no difficulty in increasing the speed of
the ocean greyhounds," but with the ire
mendous force Of waves and storms 1t is
not possible to do this with the present
models.
1t is not impossible that the solution of
the problem lies in the submarine ship,
and that the passenger steamer of the flu
ture will go under water instead of across
its surface. The advance made In the
planning and working of submarine boats in
the last 10 years makes this seem not who'll
ly impossible, as it must have looked once,
and there is no doubt that the freedom
from the effects OF surface storms would
allow a swiftness which could hardly be
arrived at on the surface 1t might also
solve the question of seasickness, as It is
probable that submarine locomotion would
be much smoother and less disturbing to
the stomach than the present method OF
travelling. All that one can say, however,
is that we shall see what we shall see
Perhaps the steamer of the future will
be operated on o trolley by means of sub
marine cable. The advantages of this plan
would be great as it would prevent the ne
cessity of carrying immense quantities Of
fuel and of keeping the vessel loaded down
with enormous engines. All the delay and
difficulty and expense of managing fur
naces and engines on board ship would be
done away with by the oceanic trolley sys-
tenn, and the ship could be made 80 much
lighter that it would 20 whizzing across
the ocean in a couple of days. Danger of
accident could be brought to be no greater
than it is at present by having a sufficient
number of repair steamers on the route
which could keep the cables In repair, and
In case of any accident to the trolley could
bring the passenger boat into port or put it
again in connection with the cable.
There can be no question that the proper
means of crossing the Atlantic quickly is
by some system which will allow tho mo-
tive power to be applied from the shore,
either by trolley or a cable. The limit Of
speed for ships that cara engines and fuel
Is certainly practically feached on the sur
face, and there are difficulties in the way
Of submarine navigation which It would be
hard to conquer. The trolley system is
capable Of great extension, and we may live
to so to Europe by its means.-New York

Grown old, the mother is sometimes sor
rowfully clear sighted and freed from the
blessed illusions of youth. When her chill
dren were little things playing about the
door and tucked into bed at night, all safe
and sweet and rosy, she had her dreams Of
their future. There was nothing too bright
too brave, too beautiful, for her imagina
ton and her hope rs she looked at her dar
lings, sleeping or waking
As they grew older, went to school and to
college, or into the shop and the counting
room, the mother still dreamed and plan
ned, still wove her enchanted stories, IN the
center of which she saw her children, heroes
professors, scholars, benefactors, champions
of the weak, defenders of the helpless, orna
ments OF the age and renowned to be. Her
Frank, her Charles, her Sydney, whatever
Others might do, they were bound to excel
to stand in the van, to reap the rewards, to
scale the heights, to discover the long hid

But there dawns day upon the mother
when, grown old, as wrinkles and gray hairs
testify, she renews the wonderful keenness
and acuteness Of childhood; she secs the
dropping of many masks; she comprehends
things as they are. Past the hour OF dream
