Little Cape Collars of Sable, Mink an

Little Caps Collars of Sable, Mink and
Other Furs.
Sable and lace are the very keynote OF
fashionable trimming az present Never
were they so universally worn, apart and
In combination. OF cou-se all the sable Is
not genuine, for every woman who dresses
fashionably cannot afford TO buy SO costly
fur, but manufacturers are very clever at
making good limitations and rs long as
the effect Is satisfactory it is enough for
many persons.
Little fur capes are IL vogue which are
more like large collars than like capes.
Sable, mink, marten and chinohilla com
pose them, and they are often lined with
other fur-ernine, for example-and are
trimmed all around with little tails.
Point do venise, alencon, bruges and
English point lace are much worn, as well
as many varieties of guipure. They arc
utilized for berthas, collar bands, yokes,
epaulets, Louis XIII collars, blouses,

No Ghost of Color.

"The other night at the dinner table,
said Mr.. Bildad, little Obadiah sur
prised us all by asking why it was that
with all the colorod people dying no

most novel question. and it threw the

Thomas C. Platt.

Mr.. Platt never smoked IA cigar
except once, when he was a STRIPPING
in Owego. He had just left Yale
college and started a drug store in
this now famous town of Tioga coun-
ty. This was in the first days of the
Republican party. He then wrote
the songs for the Fremont campaign,
later for the Lincoln contests, and
later still for the Grant boomers.
He has two trunks at his old home
in Owego full of these campaign
songs. All through New York state
there are happy geniuses with a pred
Election for writing verses. But Mr..
Platt has a record in this respect
which is marvellous. A few years
ago he was the guest of the news
paper men of the Fellowcraft club.
He was called upon for a speech.
He looked round the board and saw
politicians of the two parties, litera-
ry critics, artists and dramatists.
All expected q speech from him.

Mr.. Carlyle,


1t soon became a habit to watch
for the familiar carriage and either
to welcome Mrs. Carlyle for a visit
Or to go with her for a drive. She
often came to me on Sunday after
loon. One wet and dreary day /
was sitting alone when the bell
rang. l gladly ran to answer it and
saw a strange gentleman standing
there, but looking beyond him I saw
the dear face smiling at me from the
carriage window. I was eagerly
dashing forward, but was peremp-
torily waved back, with orders to get
my bonnet and come out. Mr..
George Cooke was our companion,
and in spite of the wind and rain
we were all very bright and merry,
Mrs. Carlyle taking my hand and
holding it in hers for a great part of
the time.
The day she and Miss Jewsbury
came I had see Punch's Christmas
Almanack, and on it's cover were like
nesses Of all the principal literary
people, very ccmical and funny,
with absurd doggerel couplets de-
scribing them. Among these I spied
Carlyle and Tyndall together. Car
lyle was in full Scotch costume.
In one hand he carried a child's
spade and pail. and with the other
he was throwing pens and ink over
his shoulder, and the lines were
these:
Carlyle, having finished "Friedrich'' alto
gether,
Is off to Scarboro to spend the summer
weather.
Oh, how she laughed, and how de-
lighted she was! 1.-THE first time
Punch has taken any notice of him."

said: There is something in the car
riage for you. Run and look" I

Lord Waterford used to tell some
good stories of his experience as an
Irish magistrate. One of them re-
ferred to the case of a woman whom
he had to sentence for a breach of
the peace. He let her off on condi-
ton that she found two securities
of f10 each that she would keep the
peace for six months.
"Thank ye, my lord" said she,
moving toward the door.
"No, no." said Lord Waterford,
"you must am your securities
that I may see whether they are sat

Faith, and who would I name -
she answered, "but your lordship's
self? Yer good enough for two" a

sprightliness of the Irish character,
