THE CHILDHOOD OF THE HEART.

L. - ~ = -
Oh, the rosy days Of childhood,
How bliss'u'ly they sped,
When not charm had vanished,
And not wonder fedl
TIE year was full OF promise then,
The tongue was full Of praise
Eut think the cup is sweeter now
Than in the childish days.
Oh, the laughing world of childhood,
Or ignorance and easel
The lighteSt touch could quicken.
And the least pleasure please;
Yet the upward paths ara dearer,
With all the thorns they bear,
Than garden of a hundred dowsrS
When Ignorance stherel
Oh. the beating heart of childhood
That little heart OF sho~,
That doubt has never entered,
Nor sorrow has brought lowl
Trust me, not all the rapture
Its eager life can span
Can shadow forth ths peri 'ct love
That warns the breast OF man.

Behold another A bit of pulled vel

piciOn of a rib in its pile, forms the small
crown. Out Of the puffs a single velvet

dear reader, have a suspicion that they
never belonged to any living creature.
The trimming was all at one side; and
consisted of three sable tails. two stand

wing of delicate green velvet, and two
twisted loops of the velvet; and, finally,
a darker green wing.

teenth century young lady, who always
knows just what to do under any circum-
stance. She is so doubtful of the weather
that she necessarily grows doubtful of
herself; for everyone knows that if the
fates decree an unpropitious sky, the lat
ter day girl cannot come out in all her
finery.
Now she is learning to adapt herself 10
circumstances; which accounts for the
gowns that appear on the streets even
these November days You will see heavy
nets, made over silk or satin; gauzes any
quantity of them, for trimming; lace of
various kinds, particularly fine white
lace, in edge and insertion. This dress
that went gayly by this morning, in com
pany with girl that was equally gay,
exemplifes the eternal fitness of things
that one notices in the correct gown. A
fine soft, black, with a tiny line of lemon
color lurking in it's folds, was made up
with black gauze ruffles, accordion

The second one, put half way up the
skirt, gave a basqne effect to the whole
costume; for the close fitting bodice dis

satin turned back from broad plastron
Of black braid work over the lemon
ground. Three full ACCORDION ruffies of
gauze formed a ruche for the neck, and
gauze sleeve rufles made a still lighter
and more ethereal appearance. And yet
she could have worn it on IA much colder
day, neither was it too startling for a
dull, cloudy day. 1t certainly suited
admirably the balmy air that prevailed
to-day.
Unfortunately every one isn't so sensi-
BILE. Heavy, almost massive costumes
are now in our streets AS black is the
fad OF the hour, so black velvet is still
more emphatically the combination rOf
color and material upon which Dame
Fashion mast benignantly beams. Black
velvet upon the street, black satin for
evening wear, is en- resee. Or, if you will
be more eXtravagant still, why get you a
costume all of astraChan or of Persian
lamb.
But these are not the only vagaries of
the hour. Hearken to some of my dainty
afternoon and evening bonnets. First, a
brilliant emerald green crown of black jet,
with a star of shining emerald color in the
center of it for a brim, a soft roll of en-
erald velvet. widening out in front into
loops. Between the loops a dragon fly

Also the evening bonnet calls for a
dashing bow or other arrangement,
placed horizontally across the front. 1t
may be matched with another horizontal
that stretched across the middle of the
crown. if crown there be; if not, its ex-
tremities rest upon the band that makes
the brim. In some cases, even more than
this is desired; and then a pearl horizon
tai, smaller than the others, finishes the
back. Again, the pretty white felts, for
afternoon receptions, are turned up in
curving brims, and have their crowns en-
circled with single band of fur, or with
fancy gold band. All the trimming is
at the side as is the case with nearly all
of the hats.
Black satin, as l have said, is very pop
ular for evening, wear. At reception and
theater it is seen most, often enlivened by
brilliantly-colored sashes, collars, ruf1es,
etc. Black satin sashes, with broad
scarf ends falling in front, are added to
costumes that have not suspicion of
black about them. On the other hand,

mixed-the seasons first, then the dresses
for the seasons. You feel that there is a
fierce struggle going on somewhere, for
on one occasion a cold day maliciously
walks forth with malice aforethought,
and proceeds to nip your nose; which ac-
ton so raises the righteous wrath of q
gentler autumn day that she comes out in
a perfect heat of passion, and you grow
uncomfortably warm in consequence ;
this melts a compassionate day to tears

oopious downpour. Such an unsettled

THE FOUNTAIN COURT.
Architects in New Hork who make
speciality of catering for the patronage o
those favored mOrtals who can afford Ia
live in palaces, have noticed that tn
fountain fad is becoming very popular.
The great Railways in New York man
sions presented at one time a very bare
appearance despite the CRATE fires anC
potted plants adjoining them. Now, how
ever, the electric fountain is being intro
duced, and its perfumed waters give
most imposing air TO a court as the
staircase square is termed.
This whole idea is a recent French i'm
portation, but the encomiums of Mr.. and
Mrs, Iznaga for having introduced it
