HAT TRIMMINGS.

The first thing to strike one glauc-
ing at the summer hats and bonnets is
the extraordinary amount OF trim
ming they all carry. Hats are minia.
ture flower beds. Flowers have
rained---nay poured---down upon the
millinery world. They have landed
on everything in the way of headgear.
Often, too, they have landed with
more force than discrimination by
coming, evidently to stay, in three or
four sorts upon one small bonnet.
Millioners say. and with truth, that
bonnets ere small. They certainly
are. 1t is the lappets and flowers and
buckles which keep the seasons bon
net from being altogether invisible by
reason of its size. A small bonnet re-
Gently seen was made entirely OF jet
sequins, and not very many OF them
either. But it had in front wing bows
of frosted jet axd cream guipure, a
ietted osprey, with some cut jet spikes
and stars, and toward the back clus-
ter Of rose geraniums, with some
sprays trailing down over the hair.
Gold and black is the color scheme
of another dear little French bonnet.
1t has rolling brim and sides to the
crown, but no top, and through the
aperture thus formed nod yellow -oses
and two ends of bow of chiffon con.
trasting with tho gold band OF the
crown. and the little rolling chiffon
covered brim. For such bonnets the
hair needs to be dressed high. Bon
nets which use the hair az the only
crown in the style OF the coronet rib
bon hats are to be much used. A bon.
net of this sort is formed entirely OF
wings, set at different angles, with
two pink roses in front as the only
trimming.
Roses, with other things, appear on
nearly every hat. One OF the lew

the clerk, who laughngly replied:
HAin't that enough for two or threo
days work? l work all month for a
third OF it. ] don't think there is any
thing elsc-unless you want me to turn
the Office over to you. l wish could
you could run it to suit me. Why-yes,
here is a letter for you--but it's not
from any of our people"
"Let me sec it," said Livingston,
eagerly. He was doomed to disappoint-
ment again. 1t was curt note from
the editor and proprietor of an evening
paper upbraiding him Tor failing to
make good his word. Livingston had
not supplied the facts which had been
promised, and which were counted on to
correct the impression that the artist
Beauchampe had killed Dabney.
Livingston looked at the date. 1t was
dated that morning. He turned to the
clerk, saying carelessly, "Any new de-
velopmcnts about Dabney's murder?"
Nothing; the anarchy business has
made people forget it. l haven't seen
anything new. Are you going for that
now9 I'd think you'd want a weeks
rest
Livingston next made his way to the
editorial rooms, wrote q brief note, an
placing it on the managing editors des
went out. He had plead WEAKNESS
his note, and said he was to be found g.
his lodgings.
When he walked out Of the Record
office he did not look or walk like
weary man. He was all animation. He
had resolved to do two things.
In the first place he would redeem his
word-he would give the evening paper
a column or two that would make the
proprietor his fast friend, yet reserve suf-
ticent to make the Record the channel
through which the real murderer OF
Ma or Dabney would be indicated
Then, he would call upon Miss Beau
champe.
If any who read this think Livingston
was "fae ged out" by his labors, they do
not know how love sustains and inspires
youth. Livingston felt as fresh "as q
daisy" as he sat down at his table in his
own room, and wrote out his theory OF
the murder for the evening paper. It
was an easy matter to suggest, in gen.
eralzing article, the details that he
would supply to his own paper a few
hours later. Une was merely prelimi-
nary, as he treated the subject
He worked rapidly. In less than an
hour the article was completed. When
read carefully, it pleased him.. Calling
q messenger, he dispatched it to the ed
ltor with his compliments, explaining
his absence from the city, and referring
him to the Record of that morning. Then
and SET out for Beauchampes lodgings

THE CUSHION.

with some bright lead (red or blue is
best(, 80 that the pattern will be plain,
and not rub off. Do notmake or stuff
the cushion until you have embroid-
cred your pattern.
Another way to make the design is
to cut the leaves and flowers out of col
ored materal, sewing them on the
goods, being careful not to show the
stitches. Still another pretty way is
to embroider them on. This is far
less expensive way of obtaining the
design.
These pillows may be made from
almost any material. One of the
prettiest was made of pale pink china
silk; the leaves were cut from pale
green silk and the flowers embroidered
in pink, shading off from red to white.
Of course pillow or cushion OF this
kind will come quite expensive. The
side that is to rest on the sofa can be
made from any lining that matches
the material used for the pillow.
Place deep founce around the
edge of the cushion. Bind the inner
edge with silk cord, gathering the
cord up at the right corner with the
tassels hanging down. Avoid stufing
the pillow too stiff. Cotton batting
will be found the best to use for this
purpose. These pillows are placed at
the head of the sofa and are made
either for use or ornament. If for

was but fifteen months old. Not only had it

FANCIES IN PARASOLS.

Any girl who has penchant for odd
bits of bijoutrie can have it thorough
ly gratifed by buying parasols by the
score. It seems as if the manufac-
turers had determined to see how
funny they could make parasol handles.
They certainly succeeded to perfec-
tion. Just imagine young man
holding a parasol over the summer
girl while "rocking" with a fierce
looking parrot head staring at him
from the end of the handle! But what

letter from large employer OF labor to J.
H. Raper, ESQ.,, in the. vicinity of whose
works there were formerly three licensed
public houses, which the workmen had
daily to pass in going to and from their
homes. The temptation to STOP and drink
was OF course great. These licensed places
for the sale OF liquor have now been closed.
The statement Is made that the improve
ment is wonderful. The people are better
fed and clothed, and they are moro thrifty.
Their homes are more comfortable, some Of
the men have even bought houses OF their
own. and the young men and boys are at
tending evening schools. instead of spend
ing their spare time in tie public house. The
people are all more contented and happy.
Among the many burdens which working
men suffer from the drink habit is one Of
the most grievous and destructive.
