BEEN MISSING OVER A MONTH.
Mr.. Michael Garland Not Heard from Since
December goth.


Mr.. Michael Garland. Of No. 22l7 east
Main street. disappeared from his home
on the 10th of December, and up to the
present time all efforts to locate his where
abouts have proved futile.
He left behind wife md three chill
dren, two daughters and one son. He had
been out OF employment for some time
prior TO his departure. and for "everal
days had been on a spree. His wife was
seen by a Dispatch man yesterday, and
while she seemed somewhat worried over
her husbands continued absence, she did
not believe that ne had met with any acci-
dent. She was rather inclined to the be-
lief that he had gone either TO Norfolk
or Baltimore. in both OF which places he
had been at some time during his lie en-
ployed.
Mrs Garland and her children are at
work, and are living very comfortably,
the disappearance Of Mr.. Garland, she
says. having had but little effect on her.

The use of wild flowers is gaining favor

the flowers of favor at the June weddings,
its brilliant white will not be missing.

In the brides well-gloved hand she will

The loose Zouave knickerbockey. which

nor do we, while retaining our feminine

that is, of course, unless we are New

enough it may be used as decoration to
the entire front, which may be of white
mousseline de sole or ecru batiste, killed
One very elegant front in the market, and
that could be copied at comparatively small
cost, is of the Killed batiste with stripes
of white spaugled ribbon running up and
down.
Another charming front is of white nous
seine de suie with a single great plat
down the middle of the black spaugled rib
bon, aud with this there was vast spread
ing collar Of the muslin, cut sailor shape
at the back and with front in two square
panels, the whole being outlined with the
spangled ribon in a narrower width. This
combination collar and dicky was one OF
the SWEETEST models Of the season.
SIMPLE EFFECTIVE MILLINERY.
1t was worn with white chine taffeta
gown, patterned with black in delicate
striped and lowered design, and the hat
that accompanied it was black sailor
shape uniquely trimmed great white
satin rosette withloops massed like flow
ers was stuck straight in front; and from
this, the sole other trimmings, spraug two
long slender black wings that projected far
over the crown. The effect was both curl
OILS and delightful. These loug, dagger
like wings, by the way, are feature of
the newest French millinery. They have
not yet become popular enough to be un-
desirable, but since they may also be found
on the bargain counters-at from thirty
five to fifty cents the pair-they are worth
considering. They are in black, white and
parrot-green, the last being the rarest aud
most fashionable color.
One very coclly little toque of brown straw
lately seen on Fifth avenue had two OF the
parrot-green wings thrust in a rosette OF
wood brown velvet. A rough straw sailor
of notified green and red, had black wings
in clunps of violet leaves, likewise massed
en- rosette and the fac-siniles of which, it
may be useful TO know, can be found in any
of the Sixth avenue shops at nineteen cents
the bunch. The leaves are in that new ten
der green that is so much worn, and that is
so unbecoming to any but the most faultless
coloring.
BARGAIN GOWNS.
A trim little outing frock, a design of
which is here shown, is another OF the
seasons bargains. Imitation whipcord in
an agreeable brown is the material, and
the price OF it complete, lined throughout,
and cut with an astonishing dash, is $13.25.
