WAS HER OWN MIELINER.
A Washington Woman Whose Taste for
Tulip Buds Got Her Into Trouble.

A Washington Woman Whose Taste for
Tulip Buds Got Her Into Trouble.
A comical experience of a friend Of
mine may be cited as a warning to
other women who mediate defying the
m%illiner by original methods of bonnet
trimming.
Looking from her window one Sun
day morning when tie tulip trees were
in bloom, it flashed upon her mind
hat one of those yollow and green
striped buds would be just the touch OF
color needed at the back of her new
black lace bonnet, the present somber-
ness of which did not please her. Two
buds were finally secured, and nestled
down in the lace. where the effect was
e%minently satisfactory.
Pleased with the result of her ex.
pedient, the bonnet was donned, and
my friend ~serenely made her way down
the aisle to her pew in blissful uncon-
seriousness of the sensation she was to
create ere she left the church. AS the
service progressed all thought of the
tulip bud passed from her mind as COM
pletely as though it had never existed
to tempt her Grant fancy.
Gradually, however. she became con.
scious hat a great amount of sur
pressed laughter was going on in her
immediate vicinity during the sermon.
Annoyed that she should have her at.
tention distracted, my friend turned
upon the offenders with a look of stern
disapproval.
All to no purpose, however. for after
each such silent rebuke the evidences
of mirth seemed to increase. She re.
turned home at the conclusion of the
service, and, while descanting to her
family upon the irreverent behavior OF
the people behind her in church, she
took off her bonnet.
As she did so she gave a gasp. for the
mystery was explained. There on the
back of her lace-bonnet. where she had
pinned a couple of sleek, closed tulip
buds, were two gorgeous flowers,
which, in the warm atmosphere of the
church, had gradually opened to per-
feet bloom.-Kate Fields Washington.

HE GOT THE PLUME.
But He Was Not as Happy Afterward as He
Had Been.


Had Been.
A ludicrous incident occurred in one
of the prominent churches in this city
on a recent Sunday which is liable to
cool the churchgoing ardOr of the young
man in the Ease and be a feature in the
experience of the young lady that she
will not soon forget.
The young man, immaculate in a
long coat. light creased trousers and
spotless linen, was ushered to a seat
directly in front of a bewitching and
stylishly dressed young lady, on whose
curly head reposed an elaborate and
expensive model of milliner's art, the
principal feature of which was Il very
large and beautiful plume.
When the good dominic commenced
his long prayer the young mans
thoughts were evidently on his fair
neighbor, and consequently he neglect
ed to assume an attitude of reverence.
Not so with the young lady. She
Immediately bowed her head on the
back of the seat in front, and the plume
of her hat brushed the back of the
young mans neck.
Thinking it a fly. he tried to it
away with his hand: but. like the cat,
it ''came back with the persistence of
q book agent, and after several vain at
tempts to keep it off his neck visions of
centipedes, scorpions, tarantulas and
other poisonous monsters filed his
agonized mind.
With desperation born of despair, he
made n grand grab, secured the
troublesome object, gave a quick,
strong jerk and landed the gorgeous
plume in his lap.
Of course the young lady was sur
prised and indignant, and the young
man was SO embarrassed that he forgot
to apologize at the close of the service

same s~ubjectand never found it weari-
some. and when they babe each other
a good night in the long corridor it
was a very meaning one. They were
both greatly impressed with the ro-
nance of the situation, and timid little
Clara envied and admired her friend,
and could not sleep for listening for
the roll of a carriage and the parting
signal which Laura had agreed to
make on her friends door as she
passed 1T.
Then Laura made her few prepara-

wait for the hour. She thought OF
all her favorite heroines who had en-
acted a similar part, and tried to feel
as they were asserted to have felt.
