"Has he never been arrested for such rec

"Of course" said the sheriff, "Grim has
more sense than to resist arrest, but he always
gets off easy. Oncet it was self-defense and
twict it was insanity"
Just as the short twilight of the far south
began to fall we reached our destination. 1t
was a small, forlorn-looking little town,
teeming with saloons and Idle men. The
village answered to the name OF Turner's

The house was long and seemed white in
the gathering biacsness. Three doors were
open, and number OF excited-looking peo-
pie were passing to and fro.
Candles were burning dimly in different
parts of the room, and a coffin in the center
accentuated the tragedy of the occasion.
A tall, hght-haired woman stood by the
mourning. Near her sat a heavily-built man,
his head supported by his hands, in an at

4 Gorgeous Bed.

The latest design for a bed is that which
Mrs. Cornelius has in his sleeping room in
the new palace on Fifth avenue. 1t is dis
tin"tly novel here There is dais raised
five or Sax inches from the floor. This is
padded thickiy till II is almost like a pillow.
On this stands u frame which has neither
hea nor footboard. 1t most resembles a very
large d.yan, and around it the dais make a
platform wlis enough to walk upon. This
diyan hed has sunerb day dressing Of yellow
satin that is trimmed with fringe and just
touches the dais, while it fits smoothly over
the level of the bed. It is caught in knot
at each corner 1t has magnificent band of
eml robbery around 1t on the portion that
covers the flat top. High up on the wall is
n magnificent carved lambrequln-like frame,
from which are draped exquisite brocaded
yellow silE hangings that are not at all full
and are so short on the side that no air is
shut out from the occupants.
This is very regal in effect. and half dozen
other New York women who can afford to
change the style of the belstead as often as
the shape OF their hats have adopted the
same idea of no head or footboard.
II is mighty comfortable arrangement,
and ii the economical woman envies Mrs.
Vanderbilt she can initiate her by packing
away the bedstead. placing the wire spring
frame on Il skeleton box frame and laying the
mattress on that.
1he single bed is to have the call even more
in the next few years than now. because ply
sicians indorse it and fashion seconds it.

Facts and Fancies.

When women talk OF the decay OF chivalry
in men they forget that men are, to a
great extent. what women make them. Men
are the exact reflection of their wives and
sisters and mothers. Through the history Of
the character of the women Of that time We
have certain knowledge of the women Of
the era.
As it is impossible for the fountain to rise
higher than its source, so rs 1t is impossible
for men to rise higher than their wives,
mothers, and sweethearts So when women
begin to realize the vast influence they exert
they will not complain of the lack OF chivalry
in men when they do nothing to call forth
that chivalry, devotion, and respect.
The boot and shoe jobbers are giving con-
siderable attention to the rusSet shoe during
the Spring season. When consumers were in
an economical mood last Fall they blackened
their brown shoes of the Summer before and
deprived some storekeepers Of sale. The
jobbers only smile when they hear of the
numerous instances OF this kind and go on
selling this class OF footwear. The shoes are
of lighter color than last season. have
square or sharp toes. and the jobbers say are
of better quality for the same money.

Taffeta Ribbons.

Another unexpected revolution in the trade,
principally affecting millinery, is the ap-
pearance Of a variety of new ribbons. Fore
most among these are the shot taffeta ribbons
intended for trimming hats. They are five or
six inches wide and generally quite plain,
though some have narrow picot edge, and
are made up into large bows composed OF
very long loops. Other equally white ribbons
are made of faconne silk, or sGrah and OF a
very light kind MORE, or rather tatfeta. the
watered effect being produced by woven

ribbons, plain gauze with satin, velvet or

faconne and broche gauze, mostly used for
quillings. Some thick broche ribbons have
also appeared. most often 10 be seen with
black grounds to throw up the floral pattern.
All these fancy ribbons are shown in wide
widths, narrower ribbons for strings and
small bows being still preferred in moire or
satin. The best watered ribbons are backed
with satin, and those of satin double-faced.
In the same way a double-faced effect is given
to shot and faconne ribbons by weaving them

There is one thing that child should be

the education OF a gentleman or gentle
woman as the deeper lines OF thought and

of several leaders in fashionable society to
