cious young woman, as she stood at

young friends who was passing. "Just

Emily, who is a regular harmony-de-

friends, and grown-up and middle-aged
friends are exceedingly desirable asso-
ciates for young women. Il think the
secret of Katherine's popularity lies in
her absolute geLuineness. She never

cry is popular for table linen. Soft
colors, especially for fine embroidery
are altogether too pleasing to ever be
supplanted. On the other hand when
embroidering pillows, portieres or
other large pieces, strong coiors and
color contrasts are often needed to
relieve monotony and give character
to room. A design should be suited
to the room for which it is intended
as well as the purpose for which it
it used. For instance. portieres and
bedspreads should be embroidered in
arabesques and scrolls and other bold,
conventiOnalized designs that give a
greater effect Of richness and dignity
than flowers and birds.

All About the PetticOat.

The petticOat is quite as important
part of ones costume as the gown 1t
self, for upon it depends 'the hang" Of
the outside skirt. Even the flannel
petticoat, which in the opinion OF so
many people needs be but two yards of
material scanned together, must be
carefully gored. The best flannel skirt
is two and half yards wide, gOred and
made with a muslin yoke fitted to the
figure. COlored flannels are used much
more than white. For travelling black
is also used. These flannel petticoats
are quite short. ending just below The
knee with a fiOunce embroidered In
scallOps. Laces gathered behind the
sCallops. and feather stitching heads
the rufles Cambria skirts are once
more popular, probably because they
are the best that can be worn under
the light weight dresses which fashion
advocates. Indeed. to so great an 2x-
treme is the idea carried. that null pet
ticoats are worn under the thinnest or
summer gowns. They are made UNI
brella shaped, fitted with darts over
the hips, and are fully as long as the
gown itself Lace is considered the
prettiest trimming, but embroidery ap-
pears quite as often, more especially on
the cambria spirits. Silk petticOats are
numerous, a fact due undoubtedly to
the number of remarkably cheap rem
nants of silk to be had. Any color is
considered in good taste although black
for street wear is the greatest favorite.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.
Superintendent harrington of the Reform
School Found Dead in Bed.

Another sudden death shocked the com
munity yesterday in the death of Mr..
Joseph R. harrington, superintendent of
| the State Reform school at South Port
land. Mr.. Harrington had been out of
health for the past two years, suffering
from heart difficulty, and was under the
care of DR.. B. F. Dunn of this city.
Lately, he had suffered more than usual,
but Sunday he seemed very cheerful and
| bright, and when Mr.. Edwin P. Went
worth, the assistant superintendent left
| him at o'clock in the evening, he re-
marked upon his apparent improvement
in health. Yesterday morning he did not
get up at his usual hour and when the
servant entered the room, she found Mr..
| Harrington had peacefully passed away
during the night.
| Mr.. harrington was born at Brewer,
! May 5th 1880. He acquired his first
| knowledge of books at the common
| schools of his native town, completing his
education at Pennington Academy, now
called the Normal school, In early life, in
company with his brother Henry, he
started the bricknaker's business in
Brewer, which was conducted prosperous
! ly tell 1871 when he gave up the manage
ment to his brother, although he retained
an interest in the concern until 1890. On
leaving Brewer in 1871 Mr.. Harrington
become superintendent of the State college
farm at Orono and likewise instructor of
the agricultural department of the college.
In that important position he remained
nine years resigning in 1880 to accept his
late position of superintendent of the
State Reform school at South Portland.
Mr.. Farrington's long retention in the
office is a speaking tribute to the fidelity
and ability with which he has performed
his duties and of the appreciation in
which his services are held by the officers
and friends of the institut ion.
Mr. Harrington was married October
18th, 1855, to Miss Ellen Elizabeth,
daughter of Edward and Melinda (Snow
Holyoke Of Brewer; she died at Cape
Elizabeth February 2sth, 1896. To them
were born six children, DR.. Arthur N. /,
chief of the United States division of
animal industry, Washington, D. c.;
Mrs. Sarah P. Merrill deceased Prof.
Edward H., chief of the dairy school of
the University of Wisconsin, Madison,
Wis; Prof. Oliver c., curator of the de-
partment of geology in the Field
Columbian Museum, Chicago; Prof.
Horace P, instructor of manual training
in the public schools in st. Paul, Mimi.
| Wallace r. editor of the Daily CONNER
cial Advertiser, Honolulu, Sandwich
| Islands.
Mr.. Harrington was sincere Christian,
faithful to the tenets of the church in
which he was reared. His loss to the COM
munity and to the Reform school will be
keenly felt. He has been in office as
superintendent of the Reform school for a
much longer period than any of his pre-
decessors.
