OLdAh DSdrer lOF lduleS' gowns" ana is
thus explained: The object of this new
support ana bearer is to carry and to hold
the train of gown in such a manner that
the lady wearing the gown may not be in
couvenienced by the train. The train
support consists of longitudinal and cross
bars or fiat rails, respectively, form
ing a grating or framing which is
attached to the inner side of the train
by means of ribbons. The longitud-
iual bars or rails are bent so as to hold the
tram proper distance from the body of
the wearer, the important feature Of the
train SUPPORT being that it gives the train
a cool hold and makes it at the same
time arrange itself in graceful folds even
when the wearer takes short turns. BY
providing the train support with rollers
or aSters, perfect train bearer is pro-
duced, the rollers carrying the grating or
framing and then keeping the train of
the gown a proper distance above the
floor or ground
Can this proposition to carry about I'M

I found thief to-day within my soul
Who prayed corner and then stole the
whole.
The fond adaptive soul the thief to hide.
Swore often he had gone, and swearing so,
but lied.
Till l. in spying, caught him once apart
The thief-the toy-god with his flaming
dart.
Half child, half man; a man in child-like
child in thought of aught beyond to-day;
child in sportiveness, and hopes and
smiles
A man in teaching and snares and wiles.
Alack! for spying after thieves apart
caught the thief-he straightway stole my
heart
Norma Muir in Cooley Magazine.
The very latest fashion, says the Bos-
ton Journal, in unGovering the head as a
New York. 1t consists in lifting the hat
from the head and then suddenly thrust
ing it straight out before at arms length.
On Broadway no other style Of salutation
is recognized as good form. but in the
crowded and narrow streets of Boston il
is most difficult of achievement. II is not
unusual for a man who attempts it to not
only smash his hat, but 10 waste ten min
utes in apologizing to the people who were
too near him when he executed the salute.
1t has to be done with such a jerk TO be
effective that one stands a good chance of
giving the person in front of him notion
that he has been Sandbagged, and it is
didicult to explain away an impression
like that.
In the good old days, says the New Or
leans Picayune, now a romantic silhouette
in southern history, Young Miss" and
old Missus" constituted types of south
elm womanhood so strong, picturesque
and beautiful that both have formed pro-
lidc themes for the poets pen or artists
brush. IL was ~ Dung Miss to whom
the darkies went in all their troubles
with "Massa.'' Young Miss" who
begged them out of their s. rapes and
merited punishment, who slipped cakes
and other goodies out of the cooks
pantry tor the little "pickaninnies. " who
planned all their picnics and frolics, and
helped TO play chief conductor at all the
plantation weddings, dressing the bride,
cutting the cake, etc. or who pinned the
tiny wisp of crepe above the cabin door
and fashioned the little white shroud as
she pillowed "Mammy's" head upon her
bosom and whispered words of hope and
benediction. In fine, young Miss was
the idol of the plantation quarters, while
'Old Missusn was something of goddess,
a superior being betwixt earth and heaven
who acted the part of guardian mother to
the plantation maids, cheerfully seeing
to their wants in sickness and health,
watching over their moral and temporal
welfare, purchasing the great supplies of
summer and winter clothing and bed
ding, attending to the sewing and
distribution, and in a thousand and
one ways by her gentle thought
