What Man Most Needs.

What is mans greatest need
asked Principal David T.. Gaddis, of
Grammar School No. ~, of several
hundred boys and girls. ranging in
age from sever to twelve years. Il few
days since.
Up went many little hands in all
parts of the room. but to a little girl
in n of the front rows of seats. who
seemed particularly eager to answer,
Principal GaddiS said:
We'll, little girl, what do you think
is mans greatest need"
Soap and water" vas the proud
and confident reply.
Even Principal Gaddis could not re-
frain from iEdulging in a hearty
laugh, which spread all over the school
room so contagious was it.

slant elaboration i'll the effect of the
gown. The blouse may be made low
necked. handsome jeweled trimming,
and be cut so large that the dress be-
meath shows in ZOuave jacket outline.
Such a blouse may be reduced to a
mere front. but that is not so new.
Black Spangled chiffon is the most
generally useful. especially if the span
giles are all of varying cOlors. For all
such uses of ornamentating, chiffon
holds it's own. though there is a tend

the most triumphant belle by putting
Il fiaring double rutfie along the edge
made by the joining Of the sides and
top Of the hat. This rutfle may extend
all around the edge of the top. or Ii
may flare g~lOriOusly right in front and
narrow promptly to nothing at the
sides, giving n helmet effect to the
front. This addition of fare makes a
hat lend itself at one TO the drOOp of
plumes and the array of audacitieS
that makes Il picture hat worthy of
the name. The same effect. in even
greater degree is attained by setting
a false top of velvet or brocade over
tho top of the hat. and allowing the
former to extend in Il fiaring rufiie be-
yond the real top. This rutiie is then
pushed up to accommodate the nod
ding heads of heavy plumes, or the
gllttering arch of a jeweled buckle,
the edge of the brim is extended by 4
ruitled binding of material to match
the false top. and the whole brim is
bent out of shape. The hat is set on a
head-band OF bright color. in which is
tucked a knot of pendant flowers.
A rutfle of silk makes suitable trim

hats, and in this picture n method for

opposition, was passed showed that
the friends Of the measu had mar.

fused to act with the majority Of
their party. The pOpuliSts and Demo.
Gratis, with the exception Of Mr..
Hutchinson Of Texas. who voted for
the bill, presented an unbroken front
against the bill.
The bill, as passed. amends the re-.
sumption act to as to permit the issue
of > per cent coin bonds redeemable
after five years at the pleasure OF the
government and payable in fifteen
years, with the specific proviso that
nothing in the bill shall be construed
TO repeal the act of 1878 for the re-
issue Of the greenbacks, and the the
bonds shall first be offered for sub
Scription at the subtreaSuries and de-

and the Republicans having Il plurality

facts that had come to his knowledge
warranted him in assuming the re-
SponSibility for inaugurating the in

after should be held sacred for the re-

notes, TIE former TO be rcissued only
