HE WAS THERE
AisaH ike Tells of What Happened at tfss
 Wedding He Attended

Wedding He Attended.
 Did you attend the wedding out at old man Juelett's place last night Ike2s asked Judge stringer, the we'll known Oklahoma jurist.
 ''Yepi" answered AllSali Ike.
 Had lively time, I presume?"
 "Eh-yah! Some ways it was mid- diin' lively an other ways it was slower than snails. Thar was no shcotin', an the ticker was mizzable But. take 1t all around, up one side and down the other, it was what you might call a pleasant affair from start to finish. The preacher didn't show up at the ap- p'inted hour, but we didn't miss him for quite spell owin' to the fact that the brides mother, who 'peared to be an advanced woman, sorter objected to Kickapoo Pete, who was supposed to be the groom, and got after him with a soap paddle or suthin' of the kind an chased him all over the lot.
 She needn't have put herself to the trouble, for the bride got to thinllin' the matter over, am concluded that she'd jest as soon marry Three-Fingered Bab- cock, who had sorter been spinning around her some little time before, an she didn't know but she'd little sooner. Nacheral enough, this kinder riled Kickapoo, an him an Fingered got 10 jowerin' over it, an I reckon they would have fought it out if Jim Whipsaw, from the Rattlesnalle place ranch, hadn't pacified 'em an got ,em to playin' cards to settle the question.
 This promised to satisfy all parties concerned, but the bride found out that Three-Fingered had put up $2. 50 on his side against her hand in marriage, which Kiekapoo had stal1ed, which made her so blamed mad thatshe swore ii they didn't value her pure affection at more'n $2.60 she'd be hanged if she'd marry either of lem! This sorter com plicated matters again, but Jim Whip saw soothed an eomforted her an when the preacher showed up, by gosh, Miss Daisy an Jim stepped forward, hand in hand, to be married
 Meanwhile KicEapoo had put up $2.60 against Three-Fingered's stakes, an they were playin' along as eontented as couple of kittens. They slipped their hands into a book and give it to Appetite Bill to hold while the preacher was gettin' off the solemn words that made the two hearts one. An then, after they had congratulated the bride. thar came the call to supper, an so they concluded to make it show down. Accordin', Appetite Bill opened the book an burcussed if both hands didn't consist of four aces and a king. Ihereupon they divided the stakes and shook hands. An then everybody ad- journed to the supper table, feelin' that it was indeed good to be thar. IN. Y. Herald.

The jacket pictured varies slightly from Louis, iii that it is long all around, and strapped down in front with ribbons. But the materials used are the same; black velvet, with black velvet ribbon straps, caught in place with large pearl buttons; immense revers of old yellow satin picked out with gilt beads, and at the neck the inevitable fall of lace, which makes or mars every costume of the spring. of 1895.
 With all the mothers and older sis ters wearing jackets, could one expect the little ones to do different? Hardly. It would be too much demand on the jacket-ridden brains of the dress makers and parents.
 Nor would we wish it otherwise. For cutter than the little box coats made with every child's costume nothing could possibly be. There are mother hubbard coats, it is true, for the very little tots. The Dresden silk craze has overrun them, and all the new models arc made of that material. If possible, these coats are fuller than ever, with very short yolles and big puff sleeves.
 But to return to jackets. For warm weather pique jackets are prettiest. They are made to match pique gowns of every shade, pale-green being the favor ite color. These gowns are made with plain waists, on which full skirts are gathered. Then comes the little jack ct Loose box in the back, in the front it is double-breasted, and buttoned over with large white pearl buttons. At the neck it opens into broad revers, lined with white embroidery. The leg-o'- mutton sleeves have cuffs, also of white embroidery.
 Since pique will be so generally used, it is introduced in long coats as well as jackets. One tiny tot has coat of bright scarlet cloth down the front and the back of which two box plaits of white pique wend their way. The large round collar is also of white pique while a belt of it buckles together in front. The charming sleeves are of cloth with tight cuffs outlined also by the pique.
 Long ago the Japanese maid learned of the value of the fan and the parasol. in the game of life. Of the bewitching movements of the fan has she taught us, of the alluring background of the parasol has she given us illustrations.
 The western girl takes these hints, and improves upon them. Her parasol is not of paper. It is thing of beauty, of silk, of lace, of flowers, in fact. of

the most Dew ildering materials thatnrt can suggest for the entanglement of mems brains.
 Each parasol is fitted to the wearer's face Nowadays no girl dreams of buy ing parasol that does not east the proper shadow on her face--the ma terial should be sheer or thick. accord ing to the degree of sadness required, and whose color does not give a be- coming glow.
 While the sticks of parasols still in- terest the purchaser, they receive sec ondary consideration. The covering and lining are now the main points, and whenever possible a girl will have parasol for each of her next seasons costumes. When buying Dresden silk for a skirt get enough additional ma terial for parasol, and do the same with the grass linen dress which you will be sure to purchase. A grass linen parasol should be trimmed with a founce of embroidered linen, and lined with some soft silk, in delicate shade.
 One charming example of the sea sons modes has long ends of green and white Dresden ribbon caught on about half way to the top, one piece oyer- tapping the other, to form a circle all round. These ends are then caught to- gether about the top, where the short ends form a squatty ruche about the stick The lower half Of the parasol is devoted to two white chiffon founces.
 Another is of white silk. At the ribs, and half way between, the silk is slashed to allow the insertion of white lace through which the yellow lining shines.
 On many parasols bands of lace in- sertion wind their way about the par asols.
 For mourning, black chiffon, very full. with wide ffounces, is used. A parasol of this kind may be relieved with punches of viclets for second mourning.
 Parasols of chiffon or lace have blos- soms, to match the hat, punched about the top and handle. They are suitable 1 for none but very dressy occasions. l Spring gowns have come boldly forth with big sleeves, and once more we are at war with our English cousins. Once more we have decided that Britain shall not rule, and have combined with France to defeat her.
 Having settled the sleeve question to our own satisfaction. cuffs now require attention. There are so many varieties. There's the long, tight lower sleeve, with the cuff that is puffed out until l ela with the mouth open, preparing to swal- low the hand already half buried in it's depths. This cuff must surely have been

arm, is number of godets. This cuff has the effect of making the hand look exceedingly small.
 Norfolk jackets are not favored with revers, but where is the girl who would not adorn hers as our maiden's IS adorned? Certainly. in this age of revers, this model is a most fetching one. The yoke is of brown velvet, the cloth material dull blue. Over the shoulder simulated double loop of velvet forms q reyer over the sleeve. It is caught down with large buttons. Other features of this costume are the buckles on the sleeves and the narrow band of velvet ribbon above the stock collar. THE LATEST.

invented for the girl only too conscious of the ugliness of her hands.
 A cuff formed by frilled lace is also a favorite. This cuff is usually gathered at the top of the arm, under a tiny rio- bon bow, and when the arm is upheld the lace falls back to reveal the bewitch- ing beauty of the wrist.
 Another cuff is made of the dress ma terial, lined with contrasting silk. Itis plain toward the front, but at the back of the sleeve, as it falls away from the

THE HoUsEKEEPER's PEST.
Above All Things She Most Detests
 Dust.

Above All Things She Most Detests
 Dust.
 When a weary housekeeper was asked what her idea of Heaven was she replied: "A place where there is no dust and no dirty dishes.,'
 To the housewife who has a servant to wash her dishes the second clause of the reply may not carry weight, buf she must have very efficient staff of domestics at her command who does not appreciate the pest of dust. The putting in of coal in the cellar covers all the furniture upstairs with black dust: the furnace is shaken down, and all polished surfaces are gray; while in summer a fine, light, impalpable powder from the streets sits in hourly through every chinlz and crevice. While it is well and proper for the housekeeper to fight the nuisance. and once a day have her house thoroughly dusted, she may become a slave to her enemy. She is no worse off than her neighhors, and she would do we'll to console herself with this thought, and not make herself and everybody else ullSeTlDle DScduSe or Qlm nl1FfOF OF a whitened chair-rung. I have inn pressed painfully upon my mind the picture of young married friend. fragile in appearance, and, in truth, whose life was worn to a thread by her areh-foe-dust. She was the mistress of large house, entirely furnished as to floors, mantels and wainscotings in polished antique oak. She kept two servants, but the parlormaid had time to dust the house only once per diem. The remainder of the time the so-ealled mistress undertook to keep things clean. My most vivid recollection of her is as she appeared two-thirds of the time, worn and weary, with dust cloth in her hand She used to say, half laughing, half sorrowfully, that fit legend for her tombstone would be: Dust thou art, to dust returneth."
 As dear Mrs. Whitney says: Some thing must be crowded out" Let us housekeepers accept this truth as in- evitable, and when we die let it be of struggle with something greater than dust.-Harper's Bazar.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-03-29

vet, black satin will have the greatest call for jackets.
 Of course, these jackets are worn with handsome skirts. One may wear a plain black satin or brocaded silk. But the girl who really knows what's what will wear with her jacket skirt of warp printed silk, in dull colors, on a black ground.
 Louis jackets open at the front in large reyers, always faced with white or pale yellow, covered with some mag nificent lace or rpassementerie. The vest matches these revers; of lace oft-times, always light in color, bewitching in character.
