forced to wear full NJ dress, and
consequently no hats are seen, only dainty
head dresses such as Gotham women wear
to the opera. These head adornments are
now being made by our best milliners,
and are a combination of velvet OF ribbon
becoming and can be worn on the street
or in the cars without making the wearer
conspicuous. A large Alsatian bow is
usually worn by Mrs. Frederic Nelson, a
sister of Mr.. Frederic Gerhard. 1t is set
well to the back of her head and no flower
or jewel of any kind adorns it
Miss Gertrude Barclay also wears an
Alsatian bow in lieu of theatre bonnet.
1t is made of black satin ribbon, the loops
being broad and standing well out from
the head, and it is frightened by dainty
bunch of pink rosebudS, resting on the
hair in front.
Miss Evelyn Burden wears dainty con-
lection made in the shape of wreath,
fashioned of band of fur finished on
each side of her we'll poised head with
tiny aigrette and rosette of green ribbon.
One of the most interesting sights these
days is in the groups of bright eyed,
healthy looking girls, with skates over
their arms, hurrying Off to the places
where the ice is good The jaunty caps,
especially those with a tassel hanging
or, 40 loft odd
very much to their smart bewitching APP
pearance. A skating outfit that was com
plete in every particular won for its fair
wearer many glances of envy from her
own sex, but glances of downright admi-
ration from skaters of the masculine per-
suasion. Her skirt of dark green cordu-
roy just reached to her ankles and was
edged with chnchiila, while her Jacket of
the same material was made on the blouse
order, being confined at the waist line
with a belt of black satin ribbon. Below
this belt extended a tluted piece of the
corduroy edged with chinchila band
OF this same dainty fur formed the collar
and finished the cuffs, while a fancy cordu-
roy mutf also boasted wealth of chin
chilla edgngs. The front OF the jacket
was filled in pale blue chiffon over which
extended cords arranged in a military
fashion. On her sunny brown curls was
perched tiny toque of chinchilla, trim
med with an aigrette of white and large
bunch of violets.
Skating is not the only outdoor sport
INDUCED in by this society girl, for her
bicycle is used every day, even in the cold
est of weather, providing there is no
snow. Her bicycl suit is made of green
and tan mixed material, through which
runs just suggestion of red threads.
Boomers of the same material are worn
over her warm wooden tights, and her
Norfolk jacket is made suffic iently large
for her to wear snugly-titt sweater
beneath.

The Boston Globe reports singular Incl
dent in connection with the Moody ones
meeting in that city January 2Sth. Mr.
Green is a former resident of Belfast and
was for several years an employe of Crit
chett, Sibley & Co.'S satisfactory:
curious incident of the offertory was
that of Stoneham man, by the name of
Jesse X. Green, waking suddenly as if from
a trance and handing his pocket book con
tanning 50 to an usher He had been max
ing passes over his forehead for some time,
when he seemed to sink into a peaceful
doze. AS he handed ov er the pocket book
he said: GIVE it to Mr.. Moody. Pm all
right. I've just seen God Almighty"
There was mild sensation for a moment,
when the man made few more passes and
and again went into trance, remaining in
this state until long after the service was
closed. On waking again from his trance he
said that he felt very happy He looked,
however, very much broken up and his eyes
had a vacant expression.

TEA, COFFEE AND NERVES.

Everybody in England drinks tea; morning,
noon and night, and nervous diseases are conse-
quently on the increase there. In this country we
drink more coffee than the English do, with plenty
of tea besides; and nervous diseases the
increase here too. Both these universal bever
ages are bad. They break down the health of
habituatng people to the effects of the poisonous
principles they contain. The recent introduction
of Grain-O, the new food-drink, designed to take
the place of coffee (and why not tea?) is the be-
ginning Of a needed reform. Grain is made
from pure grains, is harmless, nutritious, palat-
able, good for young and old, and cheap; one
fourth the cost OF coffee. Try it fairly and you
will drink no more coffee; and have better rest
and sounder health one of the rewards. Pack
that will pay. Inc

THE WORLD OF STYLE.
Mirror of Fashion for Dressy Women.
Our New York Letter. |

Fashion is at its gayest and best just
now, reminding one of nothing SO much
as its own fair rosebudS that follow in it's
train, and who, in the bewilderment of
changing styles never look backward, but
constantly anticipate more pleasure in the
newer modes that are to come.
Simply as a harbinger of the vernal
season, a sort of foretaste, as it We're, of
springtime, the latest things in tailor
made gowns and coats as here shown,
these sensible mediums between furs and
lawns that the variable weather of early
spring make necessity to every ward
robe
The coat aud skirt costume is as chic as
possible, being made of green novelty
material that is sure to be favorte for
spring gowns. The skirt is, of course,
plain, and the jaunty little jacket is ex-
pusitely stitched and finished with an in
laid collar of very dark green velvet
What a variety OF costumes one could
have with such suit for a foundation,
First, the jacket buttons with Il fly,
showing only the collar and neck tie, and
then, when it is left open displaying a neat
vest one appearance is entirely changed
A soft, chiffon front and a ruche of chif-
ion sewn into the sleeves would transform
1t into quite dressy affair and, last but
not least, the skirt can be worn with anv
number of odd waists, both on the blouse
and evening order.

Fashion often requires our wearing gar
ments that to say the least, are not pic
tmesque still we have much to thank
her for in smiling upon the covert coat.
There is certain Smartness about such a
jacket that is undeniable and charming,
and its many devotees will, | know, re-
ioice that it is to be the favorite outer
garment for spring
There is little change in the style ex-
cept that the sleeves are smaller as the
cut shows, and the Innings are of dainty
silk on satin. while the inlaid velvet collars
match the shade OF the tan cloth instead
of being made of black or brown velvet
as they We're on our autumn coats
A very pretty fashion is the collarette
tor house OF theatre wear, and no better
style could be conceived than those made
like diminutiye bolero jockets One worn
last week by smart society girl is shown
III one OF the accompanying sketches. The
Wee small jacket was made of guipure
lace, ieweled with mock turquoises in a
setting of gilt threads Over each Shout
der TELL series of rutfies fashioned of
white gauze ribbon edged with turuuoises
and spotted. with tiny dots of turquoise
satin. The collar was made separately
and was finished with a tlounce of lace
and an immense bow of the gauze ribbon.
These tilmy ribbons are going to plav
an important part in the trimming of
summer frocks, and it certainly must be
confessed that nothing more appropriate
could be chosen. They are obtainable in
dainty plaids and stripes and also with
their surface strewn with delicate bios
SONS. The business woman will find such
a garniture as the one sketched real
boon, for it can be worn over a plain
blouse and will give one quite a festive
appearance, at just moment S notice.
Theatre bodices of silk or satin in ex
tremely bright shades are much worn. and
IN fact since New York women have made
up their minds to keep their hats off while

to have grown brighter and more on the

THE oRoIoE OF EVILS.

Life, OF Nav York, says: "It be-
hooves those of our rountrymen who
are considering the question of an
nexing the Hawaiian Islands to try
to make up their minds whether
they would be content to have the
islands pass into possession Of some
other power than this. To annex
Hawaii would be nuisance. Her
population is not the sort the United
States wants. II we take the islands
we will have to spend money on
them to make them tenable, and
then spend more to hold them, Au-
pexation will be troublesome and
contrary to our old-time policy, and
though it will be profitable to some
individual Americans, it does not
promise to be profitable to the Am
erican people in general We can
take the islands now, however, and
hold them for better or worse, with
out stirring up much mischief.
Whether, il we refuse to annex them,
we can keep the hands of every
other power of them, seems not to
be so sure. The choice in the Ha-
waiian matter seems to be choice
of evils. In such cases the most
popular rule is TO choose neither,
Here's hoping that Congress may
oontrive way to follow that course"
So say we all of us.

JUSTICE FOR HAWAII ANS.

An American writer and an un-
changeing Republican, in very in
fuential Eastern Journal puts forth
in a lengthy article the following
pertinent plea for justice to the Ha-
waiian people, and we thank him for
it for while our friends are increasing
in number we require many more to
Offset the unscrupulous and mer-
cenary methods of our adversaries:
In those days (under the mon
archy) the native people we're con-
tented, we'll fed and happy; now
they are absolutely starving. This
has been brought about by the party
which calls itself Republican in this
country. The annexation treaty is
a reiteration OF Judge Taney's fam
GUS decision, that it is only the real, +,
white man whose rights the law s
bound to respect.
Forty thousand native aboriginal
people (of whom it can be truth
fully ssid the ratio of illitesacy is
less than in any state Of the Union)
are nowhere. Two thousand who
can wash the color off their faces,
but not out of their hearts, must
have their rights at any cost. L
this is Republicanism whether in
Washington or Honolulu, God save
the Republic of the United States OF
America, for the present rule in the
islands, is destined land the annex
alton treaty now before the Con-
gress has the same thing in view) to
crowd down the sons OF the sol in
Hawaii to lower level than the
serfs of Russia.
The plea of the Hawaiians is for
Justice. / believe in the integrity
OF the people of my country, the
United States of America, and as
sure as they see and understand the
true inwardness OF the Hawaiian
question they will not be long in
raising their voices to see justice
meeted out to Hawaii,

Another ardent" annexatiunist
has arrived according to the Star.
His name is Meyer Jacobs and after
staying "a hours ia Honolulu he has
become an "ardent" annexationist.
He tells the Star that his "opinion
is that il a vote we're taken in Cali
fornia to-day on annexation it would
not take five minutes to count the
auti.annexation vote" II Meyer
Jacobs will look into the situation
here he will very soon 6ud out that

day on annexation it would not take
five minutes to count the aDuexati n
vote, Ii wa remember rightly there
was time when the ancestors Of
Meyer jacobs sat themselves down
at certain river, tied up their
banjos, to the relief of their neigh
bours, and bewailed the loss of heir
country. Meyer Jacobs has evident
ly no sympathy for the Hawai- an
people who grieve at he prospect
OF losing the land of their birth.
Meyer Jacobs evidently takes cou-

Honolulu friends resent his "ardenL"

behind her regular time. CAPITA
Smith explained the delay by saying
the vessel was detaine1 at Honolulu
on reques' from the officers of the

that the steamer remain in the har
Dor there until the Mariposa from

which the Hawaiiaus hoped to hear
