But by this time Mary was running
down the street laughing. The big An

But Mary always turned her laugh

The uses Of velvet are so many and
the material itself is so regal that I Of
ten wonder what kings and queens did
for royal wearing apparel before velvet
was invented Even the cheap qualities
look superb while new, and give dis
tinction that nothing else can to a gar
ment, and it is astonishing how far q
little Will 60 in trimming anything.
Today, while on a visit Of inspection to
the houses from which we get our finest
styles, counted no less than " differ
ent garments with some deft applica-
tion of velvet as trimming and combi-
nation, and am sure that could have
seen as many more had l pursued my
investigations farther. There were re
vers, collars, panels, belts. straps, bows
rosettes, twists and Eton and figaro
jackets, besides many pretty devices IN
velvet ribbon. There was a very odd
but stylish suit in one house made Of
magenta and white plaid, the odd
blocks being white and the even ones
having a small black and white flower
printed on them The material was
printed cashmere. There were two black
velvet insets in the front Of the skirt,
five inches wide at the bottom and mar
rowing to nothing at the top under two
large fancy gilt buttons. The sleeves
were very narrow gigots, with winglike
ruffles Of lace down the outside. There
was an open Louis XVI jacket Of black
velvet with a flat collar and sharp
revers, bound and faced with white
satin, studded with small Jet beads.
The vest was of white satin, sewed with
separate jet beads, and it closed invisi-
bly,. There was a lace stock, with a
great bow in front, with long ends, and
these were caught and fastened under
the reyers. I forgot to mention that the
gigot sleeves were Of the plaid. This
made the black velvet jacket look all
the more prominent.
There was in another place a challie
dress Of gray with plumeike figures in
myrtle green, with pin point black dots
between. Around the skirt there were
two twists of dark myrtle velvet The

Minded Children at Glen Ellen often

Now, children, which one of you can

one little girl from among those who
waved their hands in furious attempts
to gain recognition. and she promptly
answered:

THE CHORAL UNION CONCERT.

The concert of the union will be given
next Wednesday evening at the auditorium.
The chorus, which numbers more than a
hundred voices, has done some splendid
work under Mr.. Hawley's able leadership,
and will render the beautiful and majestic
choruses of 1.-THE holy city" in a thor
oughly worthy manner. The results which
will be reached this season, however, are
looked upon only as beginning of still
better things, for the aim of this choral
society is to cultivate in the town love
and appreciation of noble music, and to do
in a smaller way what the great music fes-
rivals do for Cincinnati, Worcester and
Springfield, and what the Handel and
Haydn society does for Boston. The first
part of the program Wednesday night will
be composed of solos, duets and glees; the
second part will be "The holy city," In
addition to our local talent of Mrs. Hub
bard. Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Brasor and others,
Mr. Mortimer Howard, a noted singer OF
Springfield, will take the tenor solos. A
harpist from Boston has been engaged to
play the very important and beautiful por-
tions of the cantata written especially for
the harp.
Tickets, which have been put at a very
low figure, will be on sale Monday at Fox S.
The concert program will contain all the
words of "The holy city,"
