to her neighbor loud enough to reach the
ears of the writer: 1.-The very idea OF TAX
ing baby out in such storm" and fin
isbed her sentence with q shrug of her
shoulders, which meant more than she
said.
But baby was wrapped up snug and
warm in blanket and its mother, heed
less of what her neighbo might think,
began to unrol the quaint covering to see
how his diminutiye majesty was getting
on. Everybody in the car was watching
her with looks Of mingled disapprovai and
curiosity. She finally got the roll undone
SO that Mr.. Baby's face became visible.
And such face as it was! There was
probably never more completely sur
prised set of people in that streeIcar be-
fore. Baby was real beauty of the sort
the mother. Such. eyes, such dimples,
and, withal, such a bright, healthy, smil-
ing face in all probability will never light
up similar occasion.
Baby's appearance worked like magic
charm on the rest of the passengers. As
soon as his face was uncovered he took
survey of the passengers about him with
owlish gravity. Then as if struck by some
highly ludlcrous idea in the contempla-
ton of the scene, he burst into a great fit
of baby laughter. He chirruped and
chuckled and kicked up his heels in such
high glee that inside of minute he had
the entire car on bis side. The Sowing
looks had all disappeared as if by magic
and people forgot all about the disagree
able weather outside and their uncomfort-
able surroundings within and joined with
baby in broad smile at the novel situ-
alton. Somehow that baby's genuine,
healthy and spontaneous good spirits had
for the time put an entirely new phase
on life with all who saw him.-Washing-

A dressv bodice Just designed for the
Riviera is described as having a close-fit-
ting under bodice which is made in white
satin of soft chiffon, with horizontal bands
OF black lace insertion, and over this
bright cerise or petunia velvet, satin or
brocade, are draped with the intention
that the sleeves should be part of the
bodice. They require most careful arran ge-
ment, standing out in folds from the arm
in new and remarkable way. They need
skilled dressmaking, and then are a marked
success. The neckband matched the
sleeves in color, and so do the tight gaunt-
lets, almost to the wrist; but the waist
belt, the band from the collar to the bodice,
and the two encircling the waist are of
black satin. This answers charmingly for
theater bodice, tea jacket, and for an
afternoon reception dress. And, says the
same authority one of the prettiest no.

the bottom two ruff1es of blush gray silk

the silk ruffles had worn out, so renewed
them and the yoke, as the alpaca still is
perfectly good, and replaced them with
deep ruffle of black silk, which has alter

FOR MEN.

As the subject of mems clothing is
easily exhausted, we find such authorities
as Him constantly discussing whether we
will ever go back to knee breeches and
silk stockings, ruffled shirts and patches,
and we are solemnly notified that colored
evening suits are in demand on the Con-
tinent and conservative Him." who is
supposed to be the "Glass of fashion and
the mold of FORM" informs us that he has
ordered "a white silk waistcoat or so."
and is absolutely listening to the sug-
gestion of one in pongee silk of a canary
color for evening wear; however. we much
doubt his appearing in this novelty.
A few West End" tailors IN New York
have been making dinner jackets without
than two pockets, and, of course, they
never have flaps. Those without pockets
were SO satisfactory that probably many
more will be ordered.
Some young men are again trying to
make the velvet collar on the evening coat
fashionable. There is little doubt but that
they will not succeed, as the result is ex-
tremely ugly and lacks smartness.
The correct evening tie you must tie
yourself. 1t is of white lawn and has
square (not pointed) ends
Strictly speaking the evening coat for
men at all seasons of the year is the black
Inverness, which may be lined with either
silk or satin.
The question sometimes arises even now
as to whether in going up and down stairs
a woman precedes the man, so l quote a
good and concise reply:
"The woman precedes the man in going
upstairs, and she precedes him always
where there is no possibility OF any mis-
adventure occurring. Where there is such
q chance and disturbance or difficulty Of
any character is likely to arise, the man
precedes the woman. In going into a
theater, or any public place, entering a
church or restaurant, or public convey
ance where there may be any difficulty in
the crush of crowd or questions about
seats, ETC., the man precedes the woman,
but in going upstairs in a private house,
the woman precedes the man.
'There is an absurd idea, which is prac-
tically obsolete to-day, that in going up
stairs the man should precede the woman,
because there might be some vestige oi
chance that the man would see the
woman's ankles in case she is ahead OF
him. AS this is ridiculous on its face, it is
ridiculous to have the man precede the
woman on this theory"

THE LAST WORD.

Who has not felt q magic power,
That through the heart has stirred,
As memory brings back the hour
And the last parting word?
A mother from her son must part.
While tears course down the cheek,
He turns to clasp her to his heart,
The last fond word to speak.
And though they never may meet again,
Ere she sleeps with the dead,
His heart her image Will retain
And last kind word she said.
A brother (ere he leaves to roam)
A sisters voice will check,
To twine again he arms at home
Around the loved ones neck.
Amid the busy scenes Of life
Her form he can descry,
Rising from out the din and strife
A sisters last good-by.
The lover from his mistress turns,
But ere he gains the door
She calls him back: her spirit yearns
For Just one sweet word more.
Heaven looks down with eyes so bright
While TO his heart she's pressed.
OF all the loving words that night
The last one was the best.
And so 1t is, with old or young,
Memory may recall
The last word trembles on the toDgus
With LOVING wish for all.
And when, beside the couch Of death,
Imploring accents seek,
Oh, God! to stay the fieeting breath
Just one more word to speak.
In vain, in vain, the die Is cast,
The fondest ties are riven;
But when this troubled life is past
No parting words in heaven.
