SPRING GOWNS,

Spring gowns for street and evening
wear will be much trimmed. Ribbons
form the foundation of many of the
more elaborate trimmings. Black
satin ribbons, studded with vari-
colored spangles,, are new and effec-
tive. Pale tinted velvet ribbons form
the background for imitation gems.
For example, Ii pink velvet ribbon
will be studded with amcthysts set in
tiny pears and used in beartifyins a
violet velvet or pink silk gown. White
velvet ribbons half cG1ered by q Jet
tracery will be among the fashionable
trimmings this spring. For street
gowns all varieties Of brsiding will be
the vogue.

Washer woman TO a Poet.

Surely few house-warmings-apd q
house-warming is one of the most
memorable and significant of domes-
tic celebrations-are likely to be re-
membered with more satisfaction and
pride than that which attended the
first occupancy of the dwelling Of Mrs.
Choate, of Amesbury.
She was the poet Whittier's washer
woman; and when by persevering in
dustry she had earned home for her
self and her family, he was one of the
foremost among the neighbors and
friends who organized the festivities,
and heightened the delight of their
hostess by leaving substantial tokens
of their regard, including a complete
set of furniture for the new parlor.
Mr.. Whittier was present among the
guests and made the speech of con-
graduation, concluding it with the
recitation of poem which he modest
ly described as piece of machine
poetry entrusted to him for the occa-
sion. It was his own, of course, and
it is given. in full in his Life and
Letters" recently published. The
last three verses are as follows:
Thanks. then, to Kate Choate!
Let the idle take note,
What their fingers were made for;
She cheerful and jolly,
Worked on late and early,
And bought-what she paid for.
Never vainly repining,
Nor begging, nor whining;
The morning star twinkles
On no heart that's lighter
AS she makes the world whittier
And smoothes out its wrinkles.
SO, long life to Kate!
May her heirs have to wait
Till they're gray in attendance;
And her fiatiron press on
Still teaching its lesson
OF brave independence.
Mr.. Whittier's early poems accord
ed, in his "Song Of Labor" due
poetic honors to the professions of
drover, shoemaker, ship-bullder, farm
er and fisherman. It is pleasant
to find him also gracefully recogniz-
ing the worth of q profession no less
useful and honorable, but less hon
ored. ''Long life to Kate" too, he
has doubtless secured, in transferring
her, fatiron and all, from the steamy
realm of the kitcnen to the more ro-
mantle atmosphere of verse. Youths

for this style of cape. There is an
odd fashion of making draped revers

evening wraps of silk and satin the
revers are made of pale tints Of vel

Another exquisite afternoon gown
after old Viennese fashions is of Nile

crepe de chine trimmings. The waist
is short and pointed aud profusely
trimmed with lace. The sleeves are
moderate in size at the shoulders and
tight fitting at the wrist. The skirt
is made wide st the bottom, but slopes
up to a narrow circle just the size of
the figure at the waist.

NOVEL IDEA FOR A HAT.

A novel and very Frenchy Idea for

The Nicararuu Canal.

The project OF the Nicaragua Canal has
been debated in the U. g. Senate very vigor-
ously. One thing should be remembered
about that climate; 1t is death to almost
every foreigner who goes there, and laborers
especially succumb. It is said that the Pam
anna Railroad cost life for every tie. What
an idea Of pains and aches is in this sentence.
1t Is mostly due to carelessness. Every la
borer provided with st. Jacobs Oil would be
armed against these troubles. Mems mus
cles there are cramped with rheumatic pain
and they ache all over. That's just the con-
dition where this sovereign remedy can do
its best work. The fearful malady is very
much like the break-bone fever in certain
parts Of America.

INDOOR GOWNS.

Woman must never forget that the
home is, after all, the one place in
which she can exert most telling and
reaching influence, and it must be
said that it is greatly in her power to
breathe a beautiful, artistic and
spiritual air throughout the home and
make all the men of her family feel
better and happier and cheerier for
having place in which there are al.
ways loving hearts, bright faces, will

mad endeavoring to fashion materials,

It would be generally patron!zed by the Southern

thousands OF Northern people no usually winter In

already looked upon an ideal winter resort by a
large number Of Northern people a circumstance
which gives the Chautauqua movement in Augusta
