About the only sentiment We have not
seen on a button is the alasi too Dnfamil-
lar one of Let Us pray" SD that its func-
tions have not entirely been exhausted.
Apart from this omission, We thought
that the uses of the button had reached the
maximum, until We learned but yesterda Y
of a new and beautiful custom which is
rapidly coming into vogue. Before the
manifold blessing of the button descended
on womankind she walked the floor until
it went to sleep.
Then she herself resumed her sleep, bnt
only to dream of the rude homecoming OF
the gentleman in the picture with the patch
over his right eye and the button on his
left lapel engrossed Don't Be Woozy,"
which is misprint for bon BE Boozy."
That gentleman, however, came home all
right, steered clear of the cradle and in
the dim religious light OF the environment
saw that his slumbrous wife was wearing
campaign button in the neck friils OF her
robe de mutt OF the First Empire. The in-
scription on the cameo was simply Hush;
Don't Wake the Baby"
1t is always interesting to note the
evolution of the many crazy things which
humanity has done and said and invented
since it first began to hustle for itself.
Exactly thirteen years ago happened the
widespread craze of the little girls aud
the strings of buttons.
1t was not confined to the cities or vii
lagos. The country girl had it as bad as
the city girl. The stock in trade CON
sisted simply of u striug and the unlimited
perseverance to beg buttons. a pretty
face had a good deal TO do with the
length OF the little beggars string and
the variety of the buttons.

Perhaps the most sensible of all the
buttons is the one worn by Uncle Sam
himself. That there is too much politics
is sentiment which is not shared in by
the participants in the coming debate right
here in Washington, at which time what
is left OF the political atmosphere will be
destroyed as irretrievably as il it had
been struck by the tail end of Perrine's

indeed, has heen that want which has been
felt for ages by those who desired to make
an elegant compromise between the Eng

Ingersoll. 1t is for this reason that in our
illustration we put Wot Tell in the me outh

the latter keeps up With the styles. There

Not so with the farmhouse button maya

which have been sewed on and passed on
from generation to generation, after the
fashion of the transmigration of souls, so
that it was not impossible that school
boy of thirteen years ago might have been
wearing the identical non-illustrated ar

Revere or William Penn.
The button craze of this kind is even
not original in America. 1t is one of
the crazes of the Mandarin children OF
China, whose chances for 4 picturesque

who saw the gorgeous white. blue, green,

however, long forgotten when the present
mania set in. although undoubtedly the
exclusively summer button was the origin
of the present extensionof the conversation

The possibilities of the new art are i'm

the commonplaces OF conversation may be
reduced to system and in the order in
