only by q velvet YOKE, and by possibly
some narrow trimming about the edge.
You may wear it over your winters
gown. that can be freshened with new
trimming at the feet, and no one will
be any tho wiser when you step forth
on Easter with your new bonnet and
gloves.
If You are unable to get an entire
new outfit for spring why do you not
make a bodice to wear with your heavy
skirts? Here are two which can be
made with bat little trouble, and both
are just as pretty as can be. The first
is the simpler, made short empire,
reaching just to the waist. Make it,
If possible, of shot or fancy silk. It is
rather loose and full, with the fullness
all caught in irregular folds into full
silk band of the same material en-
circIing the waist, which ties in , short,
jaunty bow at the side. A full, deep
lace bib goes around, particularly full
over the shoulders
The other is more complicated. The
one / saw was made Of white silk, that
was run with satin stripes of first pink,
then gold, then blue. This was Just
loose and full also, but was confined
with very high crush belt of the same
silk. The fullness of the belt was
drawn through thin rope buckle of
gold, fully eight inches high A small
bolero jacket partially covered it, edged
with small bead trimming: and a lace
collarette also hing over the silk, very
short over the shoulders, but long in
front. EVA A. SCHUBERT.

PARSON LEE.
stsry Of . Second Adventist and HIS Flock
of ShinnecOcks.

stsry Of q Second Adventist and HIS Flock
of ShinnecOcks.
There was q time when many of the
Shinnecocks shared in the occupations
of the white people, and acquitted
themselves with great credit. I allude
to the whaling period in Southampton
history. The Shinnecock at sea, whether
pure blood or half breed, made an ex-
act sailor. The. discipline of the fore
castle was good for him, at least so long
as he was adoat. Many of them got to
be mates, and one became captain.
This distinguished sailor-man was not
a pure bred Indian, but was part
Negro. and had small though poten-
tial quality of white blood This was
Capt. Lee: and any one down towards
Southampton or Sag Harbor can tell of
his giant stature and immense strength.
This Capt. Lee was the son of a still
more famous man-Parson Lee.
Parson Lee was nulatto, who ran
away from Virginia, and made his way
to Connecticut He always said that'he
had belonged to the famous Lee family
of Virginia, and that in certain sense
he still had connection with it At any
rate, he was q man of parts and energy.
In Connecticut he became Second Ad-
ventist and as such was licensed to
preach So he became Parson Lee.
Crossing over the sound, he went rs a
missionary among the Shinnecocks He
married a squaw, and converted the
whole tribe to his belief It may be
said right here that the Shinnecocks
have frequently changed their church.
AS to just when they became Christians
/ know not, but it was 50 long ago that
even the oldest among them now re-
members the celebration of no Indian
rites whatever They were Presbyter-
isns when Parson Lee changed them
into Second Advensists: Since his death
they have been Congrega.ionalists, and
now they are resbyterians again. Dur
ing Parson Lees life, one of the Ascen-
sion days arrived He got the faithful
together on . sand hill to wait for the
summons 70 better world. They were

It is too bad that Easter comes SO

the awful mud which splashed from
below and the teeming rains and blind

that our arms have not YET

arisen therefrom. We have kep& our

So begin to get ready. fair maid; and
let me give you few words of advice
before you begin. Make your bonnet a

THE TRAPDOoR PLANT.

1t Supports Itself ~ Capturing and d.

The Utricularia grows in the lakos on
the sandhills, and not lsss than two
species of this genus keep company
with the pitcher plant in its boggy
home. These plants have become SO
thoroughly accustomed to support them
selves by capturing and digesting mi

earliest stages. they are able TO dis

The leaves of these plants are finely

are not completely closed On their

gathered silk made IN q point This Is
the way it goes: At the neck. the
gathers, forming yoke and part of the
sides. These are cut right up tho
middle BY sharp poirt of embroidery
which separates the folds above from
the folds beneath. The lower folds
form a wide belt and tho belt is
edged by narrow embroidery. The
sleeves are exceedingly large lego
muttons, over which pretty lace ruhae
falls, even to tho elbow.
The accordion plait lends itself most
charmingly to the new modes; for it
can be made to occupy as much space as
one wills, upon occasions. and can also
be drawn modestly together SO that ono
would scarcely. suspect it's amplitude.
A pretty heliotrope spring gown is so
made, with plain side brea1ths between
the aocordion-plaited back and front.l
At the back Of the dress there is an
other ono of those inverted point eff
fects, where the aocordion runs up into
plain back, and usurps nearly all the
space that the plain material intended
to occupy. A rolling belt Of silk goes
round the waist and two short bibs OF
violet crepe stop at the shoulder seam,
never getting SO far as the back. The
two puts on each sleeve are also plait-
I'd, but the cuffs are plain.
The new coat, II tho signs Of the times
speak truly. will not be 50 long as the
winter one. It win be rather short
three quarters, or possibly even tri1e
shorter than that. The ones that have
already come out have fancy fronts,
many open all tho way down 30 as to
show the front to advantage, and others
are caught together at the waist A
maiden that walked the streets day or
two ago wore ono of these selfsame
coats, and the front was full, of light ma
terial. The coat had broad, fancily cut,
velvet revcrs. Her gown was a very at
tractive one, also. with a pretty design
embroidered all over, and fancy band
in wheel pattern above broad black
velvet band at the feet. She held up
her dress carefully, for the streets were
not inviting, and fresh white petticoat
beneath was a pleasure to look
upon, after the bedraggled silk petit
coats one sees these days How she
kept it SO spotless was a marvel, consid-
ering that it was of goodly length;
but she managed it, and was repaid for
her care by eliciting numerous COM
ments upon her neatness from pas
sersby.
But you are permitted this spring to

coat, if you SO desire, that is relieved
