Gray Gables in winter is like a stage between the acts-the scenery stands ready, tine scene shifters are still busy. the actors are invisible. The here of t9e play, of course, is President Cleveland, and in his absence the little hamlet is a nut without the kernel. Yet already the air is full of expectation; you can t talk for five minutes with anyone in Gray Gables without some mention of the chief executive.
 It was a bright but bitterly cold day when l descended from the train at Gray Gables. The little box of depot was closed and deserted; the very win doWs were battened. I was obliged to take my baggage to a neighboring house for safe keeping. The privilege l asked was most eourteously accorded; indeed, the genuine old New England hospitality prevails at Gray Gables.
 l had been desired to procure some pictures; and desires which emanate from the editorial sanetum are com mands to the poor newspaper core spondent Cameras, I found, are not held in high esteem here; and doubt less the little black box with it's in- quisitive eye is sometimes guilty of great impertinence Cameras, however, not few, have been on the ground it would take large force of special police to prevent it--and pictures have been made, which may be procured if you know where to look for them. So I did not depart altogether empty handed.
 The presidents grounds are, of course, private property, and nobody has any right to treat them as a public

ing with his razor, and he says he couldn't tell any of them from an or dinary man. He was talking to an Express reporter on this subject the other day. Eve shaved Thaddeus Stevens, Daniel Webster, CaSsius NJ. Clay and Tom Marshall" :" he said, ''and never had suspicion that they were above the ordinary until learned it after they left the shop. I shaved Stevens down in Maryland before 1 came to Buffalo. He was quit | man. He had hardly a word to say to me. He seemed to be thinking hard about something all the time. Webster and Tom Marshall always came :nto my shop from the bafroom. They were both men who liked their brandy and they drank lot of it. Sometimes they drank so much that their breath nearly made me drunk while l was shaving them. They were awfully jolly sort of men. Tom Marshall was always joking. He used to make me laugh every time he sat in my chair. He was one of the incest men l ever shaved Webster 1 didn't get to know so well. He was quiet, like Stevens. He had very strong beard and he wanted to be shaved close. He wanted me to scrape right down under his flesh. It's wonder it didn't hurt him. But l reckon he was q man whe could stand most anything. The first time l ever shaved him he came iii from the barroom, where he had been drinking with lot of politicians. He sat down in the chair and said Shave. He didn't say another word When he got up he gave me double price. He was one of these liberal sort of fellows. I didn't know his name was Webster until after he walked out, and then some men asked me if knew who 1 had been shaving. l told them l didn't, and they told me who he was. I've learned that it is impossible to tell a great man in the barber's chair. They are like everybody else. And Pm q man who ought to 1now."-Buffeio Ex- press.

smoldering, neglected spark would blaze up and discover me.
 l felt that the eyes of conviction would have no terrors for me, but the eyes of suspicion which l saw in city after city, on road after road, drove me to the verge of going forward and saying: Yes, l have murdered"
 People would see the pursuing, clam orous troop of blood-stained tiles and give me piercing glanees, so that these swords played continually at my heart But we are decorous race, thank Godl It is very vulgar to apprehend mur- derers on the public street We have learned correct manners from the Eng fish. Besides, who can be sure of the meaning of clamoring tiles? It might be merely trick of politics.
 Detectives? What are detectives? Oh, yes, I have read of them and their deeds, when I come to think of it. The prehistoric races must have been re- markable I have never been able to understand how the detectives navi- gated in stone boats. Still, specimens of their pottery eXcavated in Tauma- lipas show a remarkable knowledge of mechanics. I remember the little hy- draulic-what's that? Well, what you say may be true, my friend, but thi1k you dream.
 The little stained tiles. My friend, stopped in an inn at the ends of the earth, and in the morning they were there, flying like birds and pecking at my window.

 Spring will bring the straw braids, of course, many of them the rough fancy straws with which we have in former seasons been familiar, but in new loops, fringes, points, patterns and caracoles. There are plain straws, iridescent col ors and Persian arabesques in weaving. Some braidmakers have even gone so far as to weave Scotch clan tartans in straw of strong prime colors. These self-asserting patterns in the braid re- quire emphatic colors in the trimming, such as are furnished by scores and bands of duehesse purple, or navy blue, which is now known as matelot blue, as if the French word made it any finer.
 There is compensation in all the uni verse, hence it is no surprise to find that the little hats have bigger crowns than the big hats; the walking shapes in felt have narrow brims curling high in the sides and low at the ends in q shape somewhat suggestive of the turban, though the rolled sides do not hug the crown quite as close as in thatmodel.
 Quilted net will figure prominently in the list of trimmings, along with chiffon similarly treated, Malines tulle in white, black and colors. Flowers will be pro fuse, and there is a great influx of fancy ribbons from Paris-where they will wear plain ones themselves, be it added. There are ribbons with soInbre effects. and ribbons with Dresden roses and China designs, crepon prints, printed velvets, mirror velvets, Japanese plisse and silk muslins. plain and bordered High novelties" are the ribbons of Per sian groundings and Damascus embroi- dery, vermieeli figures, velvet foria- tions, ombre stripes or metal threads; ombre grounding with 8 wild variety of stripes; taffeta in narrow glace stripes; glace with printed borders or metal pat terms, or taffeta edges; broche figures. Bayadere ribbons with stripes in the warp, damask ribbons, plaided ribbons. Palmer ribbons in delicate tints will no doubt prove in better taste, especially for hats and bonnets with long ribbon ties.

dark decision and emphasis of color; and at least third have the new sleeves, whose scant outlines are for the moment masked by fluffy epaulets. One evening bodice of unusually the atrical ferceness has q wide coIlarette over a double chiffon hounce, re strained in the very act of sliding off the shoulders by adequate looking strips of black velvet. And more of the velvet is crossed upon the front of the bodice, ending in q huge bow at either side of the waist,
 A charming frock of white satin with round sleeves in the older mode has short bodice whose loose front is GOV cred with sequined net, and whose square decolletage is outlined with em- broidery. There is a satin band at the waist and others at the shoulder nega- tive the suggestion that the gown might else slide off the polished arms of the wearer.
 Half the gowns have the sIipping-off effect Hence the shoulder straps, meant to reassure the eye-or cheat it, according to the beholder Let me de- scribe another gown with no such de- vice:
 It is made of mauve glaee silk with bodice of chiffon in the same shade, and the yoke and the braces and the long lapels are strongly brought out in black, with big figured cream lace ap- plique upon it.
 Enough, perhaps, of the gowning of an Easter week that is not yet There is the bonnet to consider.
 Modified forms of the poke bonnet are quite in line with the springs prom ises-not the long poke through which, Tas down a tunnel, one peered in grand mothers days at the face beyond-but a shallower and airier poke with an tpward and outward spreading front, varying from that of a Salvation army kepi to the crimpled outer edge of Q seashell. Whatever trimming of plume and ribbon there be is piled far back upon the tiny crown, the underside of the brim is smothered in lace, white or black, and the whole contriyance is pushed well back; no, there is nothing dim or tunnel-lil1e about the poke of 1896. And the Salvation shape is pretty enough, give it but the bright colors. Enterprising modistes are already re- ferTing to certain of these new shapes as the Booth" or the "Ballington, names somewhat in favor even in fash ionahle New York.
 But there are others. The spring bonnet is not confined to the shell shapes. There is to be a good coun- Yfenancing demand for the picture hat In moderate sizes, and for the bewitch- )tng toque mo bigger than an agate
