firstly" Take toque of peaeock-green velvet, with green ribbon caught fam wise on the front with silver buckle. 4 tall blaek-and-white aigrette is part of the trimming and two sable tails keep it company. More brilliant fans are covered over with small peacock's eyes, the brim presenting the sheen of the peacock's breast. and on the middle of the crown the birds head and neck breeding over this strange world.
 The "jam-pot" hat may be fixture for the early spring. It ought not to be trimmed at all, but left in it's bare ugli- ness of outline. I have seen one, how ever, decked with three rolls of satin about the brim, black plumes nodding Lehind it, and high on one side a rich red rose. Shot ribbon and miroir vel vet, sequins and chameleon ribbon, cut jet and little mounted humming birds, spangles, fur, velvet, chiffon-such are the materials of the hat trimmers' art, and the fabric upon which they disport themselves tends now to greens, violets and deep, lustrous blues.
 There is always the picture hat. A pretty head in a picturesque pose we'll

from 5he folds ut the rear. Much more rare is form 1 have seen, wherein the edge of a toque is made of plaited white ribbon edged with black, three of the plaits themselves plaited to form band of Iningling, disappearing and reappear- ing black and white bands quite about the head. The crown is filled in with polka-dot silk, the upright bows are the same and a huge white satin rosette nestles at the back.
 The cloakmakers rather resentit when the milliner presumes to prescribe what sort of wrap must be worn to set off particular confection; and the cloak makers resentment takes the form of designing garments of wonderful ec- centricity to fight for their own hand. The pride of life-that is an opera wrap; perhaps 9 collarette and collar of fur-tri1nmed velvet, in shape like an hour glass the two of them; two huge sleeves, each in itself like a big cape of black velvet with sable or box trim

Another box is made in the shape ol a fleur de lis with heart-shaped com part1nents of dainty, painted china.
 Enameled watches with cupids or jeweled hearts linked together on the outer case are among the $1o0 or $50 presents for those to whom such prices are but tFifes.
 But the less costly card or box val entine is tho one that does the most general and therefore the most deadly work. The best cards are the imported ones. Some of them are calendars with series of sentimental verses in place of the months. The prices vary from five cents to as many dollars as one's sentiment is worth.
 The floral decoration is gauged to suit the degree of passion which the particular swain happens to feel. Pan- sies and forget-me-nots are the usual flowers, but roses and carnations are also seen.
 Hand-painted celluloid is D novelty in valentine goods, and is made up in variety of tasteful designs.
 Funny valentines with funny (not coarse1 jokes are numerous for the amusement of boys and girls.
 Emblematic devices such as a heart pierced by 8 needle with the inserip- tion: q have my eye on you" arc among the novelties.
 But the plans for dances and dinner parties are the most interesting as we'll as the most unique, and the girls are going to make the most of this, their last opportunity. For she who is any approach to an old maid now will be a hopeless case eight years hence.
 At a Leap Year german given Feb- ruary 13 the favors for the closing fig ure are to be darts of solid silver made into pins.
 The table decorations for coming 1 valentine dinner consists of heart shaped mounds of pink rosebuds for each cover, with center piece of la France roses over which hovers cupid with bow made of violets and arrows with rosebuds for feathers.
 This is not so pretty, however, as the arrangement ofanumber of small heart shaped tables into one immense, hol- low heart, such as is planned for that Valentines eve party mentioned above. It is suggestive of Valentine seclusion to have a separate table for each couple, and yet they are really close enough to admit of the jolliest kind of general conversation.
 After this unique supper music will prevail for time, but the dancers will be few. These girls have put their heads together. and are practicing "pop- ping the question" If they all stick

ming, and then for the body of the gar lnent and for the big undersleeyes a brocade bearing upon soft, pale green ground huge figures in black. There are black feur-de-Hs nearly a foot tall, black arabesques like deer's horns, circles, ovals, erescents. Down the front runs wide stole of black velvet with fluffy trimming of the same regal fur. A tall and queenly woman looks we'll in such 8 wrap, but a less conn manding figure would be better housed in something less violent.
 For an opera wrap of lighter weight there is something quite to the wrist, the inner edge being sewn fast to the tiny body of the wrap, whose front is a mere corselet of white embroidery upon black velvet, with ribbon edges knotted at the waist and hanging we'll below it. The jacket back is short and close-ftting.
 Dancing skirts are mercifully short, and with them are worn ballet under skirts quite as long, with profusion of founces of fluffy lace. The skirts are apt to be plaited on the hips, but there is no absolute rule; and trimming

calculated to display the last century curls in the nape of the neck looked charming at an afternoon reception, bearing, as it did, a drapery of ecru lace hanging from punches of wood violets at intervals about the edge of the hat brim. Above, this hat was of the sheen of lawn silk; beneath was a lining of deep violet velvet, and big black plumes waved at the back and at the left of the high, hard crown.
 One hard, high crown, almost like the bell crown of a mans high hat, planted quite in the middle of flat velvet and silk brim, looks odd enough at first, but it is season of bold innovations.
 Still, of hats, perhaps the favorite toque is formed by gathered folds of erinlkled velvet thrust well back upon the head and with an aigrette rising

IN THE AMPHITHEATER.
A Contest Before King Herod and Pontius
 PiIatns In IerusaIem.

A Contest Before King Herod and Pontius
 PiIatus In Jerusalem.
 On one of those days he went to the amphitheater, the circSs which Herod the Great had built, at some distance from the city. He paid for seat in one of the upper galleries. On the tiers of seats below him were all sorts of people, and far away, on the opposite side of the vast arena. the sandy level in the middle, he saw, in the lower tier, a canopied place that was furnished magnificently. In it there were throne seats and on them sat King Herod An tipas, Pontius Pilate, the Roman gov ernor, two Roman generals, with other distinguished men, and a number of richly dressed women, some of whom wore brilliant tiaras or coronets upon their heads. He stared at them for a few minutes, and at the tremendous throng of people, but after that he thought only of what was going on in the arena
 There were chariot races; and Cyril could not help being excited by the mad rush of the contending teams. while all the thousands who looked on shouted and raved. After the races, however, came scenes some of which made him shudder. There were foot races and boXing-matches, but these were soon over, and then there were contests between pairs of swordsmen, spearsmen, clubmen and the like, in which the fights went on until one of the combatants was slain. Close upon the last of these duels bands of gladi- ators marched in from the opposite sides of the arena, and charged each other. like detachments of soldiers upon a real battlefield
 The fighting was furious and des- perate, but one side was soon beaten, for the parties had not been equal. One party had been trained warriors, professional gladiators, and the other only common men, captives, taken in recent raid of Pilates soldiers upon wild tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were brave enough, but they were put there only to be killed for the amuse- ment of the great men and of the null titude. So were the poor victims with whom the days exhibition closed, for they were driven into the arena, half armed, to contend as best they could with a number of hungry lions, tigers, leopards and hyenas, which were loosed upon them from their dens under the tiers of seats.-W. o. Stoddard, in St. Nicholas.

this has had its day. The love token of this last leap year of the century is Q dainty card tastefully decorated or a box of bon-bons or flowers.
 Florists and confectioners have put their prices up high, but they know that they will reap rich harvest all the same-for what signifies shekel or two when man or a new woman is in love?
 A private view of the treasures of . leading florist revealed boxes in heart shape, made of the richest brocade. They are lined with silver foil to ac- commodate the bunch of pansies which. being removed, gives place to the fair ones jewels-possibly her engagement ring when it is temporarily removed from her finger.
 The confectioner shows you minia- turc cabinets with real locks and draw CTS, containing anywhere from five to 20 pounds of candy. They are covered with brocade and lined with plush, and when the waxed paper is removed after the sweets have been devourcd, they are transformed into jewel cases
 unnecessarily large, perhaps, but for that very rcason too bulky to be easily removal

ELLEN OSBORN'S LETTER.
Hats, Toques and Bonnets in the
 Latest Parisian Styles.
"Jam Pots" and Picture Hats < MilIiner and CIoakmaker yying in Splendor and Eoeentricity-Tea Gown Talk and
 Summer Prophecies.
TcopYRrcHT. 1896. I

Toques are smaller, so runs the word from Paris; bonnets are not smaller, mainly because it would be impossible; the reign of the ostrich plume is un= broken; peacock shades in ribbons and velvets are high in favor; applique worked in lace designs is in good de- mand for trimmings; hats are often trimmed quite in harmony with gown and cloak, so that the milliner must be, as we'll, furrier and mantuamaker.
 Return to the peacock plume for a
