One Of the very newest ngonies in
braces is the style known as the crochet
weave. 1t is of pure silk, and the fabric
Is woven to resemble the hand-crochcted
pattern which every beau a few years
ago received from his best girl us a
New Years gift. The woven article is
stouter and more compact than the
handmade affair.
A pair of crochet weave braces will
stand you about $50. The buckles and
cast-offs must be of solid gold or silver
and the ends of kids in colors to match.
A monogram of crest in gold relief, and
all that, adds dreadfully to the price.

The crochet weave suspender, as in
deed do all of the reigning favorites,
comes in solid color. Heliotrope is the
favored hue, but others are of Nile
green, sage, Quaker blue, tobacco
brown, old rose, baby blue, or navy
blue.
Black is not fashionable, because it
has ceased to be novel. An exception
is a brace on a solid ,inkv-black ground,
with u skull and crossbones worked in
front in white silk embroidery. The
effect is hideous, but medical students
like it, especially those in Western
medical colleges.
! The embroidered %s,lspender has not
grown passe, but has been transformed
and idcalized. The heavy splashes of
red and brown are worn only by rural
SWANS. The exquisite effects now in
vogue repr .sent sprays of hyacinths,

4 GRANTS PLANS,
b Has Dsoiaed to Mako Her Hsns b.
California Hereafter.

The purchase by Mr.. u. S. Grant,
Jr., OF an extensive property in San
Diego. Cal, and the announcement
that his mother will henceforth make
her home in that city, are steps in the
fulfllment Of a plan which has long
been cherished by the family of the
great soldier. Mrs. Grant has always
protested a peculiar fondness for Cali
fornia, for its superb climate, reposcful
atmosphere and its generous, un-
studied hospitality. This feeling has
grown stronger with the advance of
years, and nov that one OF her sons has
established himself in that State sho is
enabled to realize u hope which she has
cherished for years by arranging to
spend the rest Of her days on the slope
of the Pacific.
The residence property which young
Mr. Grant has just purchased is one OF
the finest in San Diego. 1t consists of
a tract of ten or twelve acres, lying
upon n gentle slope in the most desir-
able part of the city, surrounded by u
splendid growth Of sub-tropical trees,
including an abundance of oranges,
lines. lemons and pomegrnnates. The

part of the Stale. The house, which

somest residences in California. having
cost In it's erection upward of 800, 900.
Here Mr.. U. S. Grant, Jr., will reside,
and with him his mother will make her
home.
Thousands OF Americans, men and
women, who have looked forward with
eager anticipation to the publication
OF Mrs. Grants memoirs, in the pre-
paration of which she has been engaged
for tho last two or three years, will be
disappointed to lcarn that she has,
temporarily at least, abandoned the
idea of publishing her work. To a
lady who called upon her when she
came to New York a few weeks ago
with her daughter, Mrs. Sartoris, Just
prior to the latter's return to England,
Mrs. Grant said:-
"Really, l cannot say when my book
will be published. or whether it will
ever be published ut all. Six months
ago had almost concluded 10 place it

troversy and misunderstanding which
it might provoke, l shrink somewhat
from the final task of publication. 1
am not sure that tho world cares to
hear what haye to say. SO much has
been written, and we'll written, about
the times, persons and events with
which my work would largely have to
deal, that perhaps my book would fail
to interest my c%ounlrymcn. AT all
events, | shall not send it forth Just at

STRUCK THE WRONG MAN,
He Was Not an Average Farmer or tn
Other Fellow Was Mistaken.

Other Fellow Was Mistaken.
We were talking about human nature
in general, and the human nature Of
farmers in particular, when the man
who was travelling for 81 button factory
sagely observed:
yes, the average farmer is a queer
man They talk about his contiding
disposition, but he hasn't got it.. On
the contrary. he suspects everybody
of intent to defraud him in some way"
swell, | dunno about that" said one
Of the crowd.
81 think can prove il TO you in ten
minutes" replied the button man.
"Now, then, look at this watch and
estimate its value"
He handed out watch and chain, and
they were passed from hand TO hand.
The watch was a line one, and the chain
was solid gold, and the lowest estimate
was $500.
Il paid $500 in good money for the
oNttit," said the man. "One of you
come along into the smoking car and
we'll find q farmer. I'll offer him watch
and Chain for $50. and he'll iustthink !
am trying to beat him. II lose ! pay
for six dinners. If | win somebody

He started out in company with the
man who had expressed his doubts, and
about the first man they came to in the
smoking car was - middle-nged farm
or who had been to Cleveland and had
two new X helves in the seat beside
him. The button man held out the
watch and said:
my friend, | am hard up and want
TO sell this stuff. Look at it,"
Don't want it," replied the farmer.
But | must have money. Watch

"But take them in yonr hand and ex.

"Not 4 mite"
"And you'll take the watch and chain

1t had TO be explained to the farmer
that it all came about on Il wager, but
heswas pig-headed about it, and the

rnE caRREcr pERnY,

The hat of fashion to-day is neither
too large 10 too small: it is a happy
medium. Different sizes of crown and
brim are made to suit different s~tatures
and faces, but anything bordering on
extremes is strenuously avoided. This
applies, of course, to the derby. Silk
hats change in shape, but in size they
have not undergone Observation-Disclosures
in years. The derby, which has held
it's w for II generation, is as popular
this winter as it ever was, if not more
so. 1t has not by any means usnrped
the functions of the silk hat, but it has
asserted its claim to adoption on all in
formal occasions. The mar who wears
a silk hat during business hours should
be informed that he is doing the very
thing which the swells insist he shall
not do.
The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1894-02-17

A silk hat may be worn on all formal
occasions, excepting possibly those
which take place before midday. This
precept, however, is not universally
followed, wen by members of the set
who promulgated it. A prominent
member of the Union League Club
says the N. Y. World, is proud of the
boast that he has never had a silk hat
on his head. and he swears that he
never will. And yet this man is a noted
dresser and sets the pace i'll scarfs and
trousers for u number of rejoicing fol-
lowers.
There is considerable bell to the
crown of the silk hat this season, and
the brim, which varies from one and
one-half to one and three-quarters
inches, has a round curl and what the
matters call a pretty tight roll. The
set of the hat is not SO fiat as was that
of last year, and the band is not 80
wide. There is considerably more bell
to the English hat than to the Ameri-
can. The brim of the London style is

Gently the English matters have adopt
