ments are still the right thing. The
noisy sort of perkaline is admissa-
BILE. If you cannot have the silk, then
line with a light weight flannel or
flannelette and pretend that you think
the rustic of silk is inelegant. That
certainly isn't half so bad as wearing
silk lining when you cannot afford it.
Now after the Lenten dullness, not a
few gowns that are silk on the outside
have had their first showings. 1t is
a particularly dressy evening gown
that the artist displays here, and il
was sketched in mauve taffeta. Its
slightly trained skirt had a narrow
panel of applqued pink velvet in the
centre of its front breadth, and a band
of the same trimming appeared on the
low bodice. A novel bolero of mauve
velvet furnished epaulettes and basque
and the sleeves were embroidered la
vender chiffon. A chiffon ruching fin
ished the neck, and black satin belt
confined the waist.
Mode color gloves are again much
in vogue for those who like the NOUS
| quetaire, and fashions may come and
go, but the mousquetaire is always be-
coming to the hand and cannot be any,
| thing but good taste. Almost all
gloves in these days are of the three
four or two button type, except the
ones for our various social func-
tions and calls where we used to wear
the light and close fitting mousquetaire
we now wear glove made after the
fashion of the heavy English walking
glove, only of light weight. The piqut
glove with it's metal fastening and bach
| stitching comes now in white and del.
icate shades and is much worn fol
theatre; reception and short glove dress
use. On the other hand, the elbow
sleeve is again becoming popular, anC
the long glove must be worn with
such. The undressed kid is the more
flexible and becoming, but the dressed
kit, and a rather heavy weight, too, /:
| the correct sort.

RrRNED HIS SHIRT.

Joe Jackson, the colored porter for
Gus Klampt's saloon in the Southern
hotel, had his shirt partially burned
in a peculiarly accidental manner Fri
day night. He had been out in the
rain and his shirt was wet. When he
went into the little stock room to
clean the floor he hung his shirt on
the incandescent light globe to dry
and the heat not only set fire to the
shirt but broke the lamp globe and
frightened the porter very much.

SEEING IS BELIEVING.

Green and purple are combined with
good effect in many of the hats now
being worn, and take note, there is an
especial value about fashion hints that
tell what women are actually wear
ing and that are not confined to the
startling creations of window dressers
and the inventions of hard pushed de-
signers. A very pretty and quiet hat
worn by a woman whose black dress
was lined with light green, was tai

THE HUMAN TEETH.


Those pearls at the gate of life the
| face and with which the countenance
is so marred as to be unacceptable,
and to cause one to be designated as
an old bag. How mercilessly they are
neglected and when too far gone for
preservation usefulness or beauty how
recklessly they are hewn and hacked
by the butchers calling themselves ex-
pert dentists. The crowns all plated
over with a shingin mass of gold
which might please the Hottentot but
| is disgusting to a refined intelligent
individual. At the very beginning of
the Child's life the teeth should receive
the care of an intelligent dentist and
mothers should carefully instill into
the mind of the child the impor-
tance of this care and supervision.
The child should never be coerced by
the threat of visit to the dentist to
get obedience. If it were not for the
sufferings of the child such parents
deserve all the discomfort that a child
with the toothache can give them.
Every child should come to maturity
with perfect set of teeth shining like
pearls. How can this be accomplish
ed? Only by the closest attention on
the part of mothers combined with the
honest intelligent help from one who
has made the teeth and their devel-
opment a scientific study. In the Sc
lection of a dentist, intelligence, honesty
and gentleness are the prime qualifica-
tons. No establishment that is run
under some high sounding name can
supply the place of family dentist-no
more than the quack advertising med
ical joints can supply the place of the
intelligent educated family physician.
The GROWING of teeth with gold
should only be done when all other
means fail 1t is more often done to
advertise the expert than for the good
of the patient, and no educated refin-
ed person cares to be a walking adj
vertisement for a dentist. Beware of
the man who claims to be the one
and only person who is qualified to
practice his profession and claims ex-
pertness in all lines.

affected by changes of fashions, but for
these reasons 1t takes considerable
care to save it from a workday or
common look. To stave off this fault
without to great elaboration or expense
requires considerable ingenuity, and as
that is just what was done in case Of
this pictured gown, it becomes a high
ly interesting model. It's skirt was
plain, and it's blouse was white crepe
de chine. over this was a bolero of
the serge banded with black mohair

changeable

at the side with changeable
trimmed at the side with changeable
green and old rose taffeta in large
loops and ends and with a cluster of
white and pink apple blossoms and
green foliage. A knot of the silk and
flowers lay fiat on the other side.
Some of the current fashions in wells
have wastefullness to offset their beau
ty and besides are difficult to arrange
A more sensible sort is the bag veil
that is run full a little way along the
upper and lower edges; that is, just
that portion which goes under the chin
on the under edge and in the front of
the veil, which causes it to hang out
from the face, while it does not inter-
fere with it's being drawn close at the
sides. An all over net is used for this,
preferably one without spots and the
ends are tucked away anywhere under
the edge of the hat at the back. The
patter veil of real lace hanging free
at the lower edge is a great favorite.
1t must hang well free, though, or it
is unbecoming.

lOr shaped green chip with rather low
crown. Set on the edge of the top of
the crown in front was a long narrow
bow that zig-zagged, one loop and end
being high in the air, the other just
passing the edge of the brim, little
at one side of the front. Set in at the
edge of the crown in front was a single
black plume with heavily dropped tip.
This bent softly to the right of the
hat, the bow lifting to the left. Along
the right side of the brim were set
three great punches of perfect violets
that looked actually dewy. They were
punched as the florist punches them,
and were set in thick natural colored
leaves. At the back were masses of
leaves and more violets were under
the brim. Nothing could have been
more tasteful and quiet, yet here were
viloet, purple and bright green shades
combined.
Another happy union of green and
purple was presented in the hat shown
herewith. 1t was green and white satin
straw. somewhat like the sailor shape,
but turned up a little in back. In
front were green thistles and purple
lilacs, and from the back there rose
a large bow of purple SILK ribbon and
a cluster of lilacs and their foliage.
There are really a great many more
of these combinations than a woman
realizes. They are made with such
good taste that no one IS startled at
sight of them, while to read about
them without having seen them is to
believe them hopelessly bad taste.
The frill falling about the edge of the
brim is an effect suitable only for a
garden hat, and should not be rushed
into, for it is entirely too picturesque
for city wear. Paradise plumes still
wave. but they are not as exclusive
as they were, and women have found
out how wild they look when they take
to waving on their own account.

OVER HEAD AND FACE.

Among the many grotesque effects
of high coloring in millinery some ar
tistic results are noted. By clever
blending many shades of purple. from
almost lilac to violet, to deep purplish
red, some of the down tipped hats that
many woman wears sliding on to her
nose, are made to seem at a little dis
lance like a single great pansy bios
som, light at the edge Of its curled pet

A concrete floor and cement floor
will be laid as soon as possible in the
battery room of the central fire alarm
station in the city hall. This has been
rendered an absolute necessity be-
cause of the leakage of chemicals
from the cell jars onto the floor and
through the ceiling on the second floor,
where it is beginning to ruin the plas-
tering.

ing as to be very beautiful To be
properly placed they should be select
ed in button form. Tiny Sits should
be made in the belt to pass the shanks
of the buttons through, on the other
side they should be fastened with tiny
rings, the only safe way, and the belt
should then be lined with either soft
kid, chamOis or ribbon.

VIOLET SAFER THAN PURPLE

NIoLEI SAr EN- 1hAN TURTLE.
While purple is considered very styl-
ish, it needs to be used very carefully,
and at best is trying shade to most
women. Violet is better in most cases
and is quite as fashionable. 1t DOM
mated the gown shown herewith, and
was managed very tastefully. The
skirt was violet taffeta draped with
pleated striped grenadine that bore a
band of cream lace insertion. Its
bodice was of fitted brocaded violet
satin, but the fronts were cut like a
bolero and were edged with narrow
jet passementerie. The deep yoke was
mauve satin with an edging of jewell
ed galoon, and the fastening in front
was concealed by full fiounce of lace.
Stock collar, belt and cuffs were mauve
satin, and the sleeves were covered
with wrinkled plain chiffon.
White for summer wear is, as usual,
far in advance in popularity of all
the colors. Linens and crashes are
this season selling for about half of
what was asked last season. That
means that you can afford very cool
and becoming dress that washes and
wears well, but which last year per-
haps you could not afford. 1t will
not be quite so stylish this year, but
it will still be in good taste, and that
is the important thing. A heavy crash
costume with plain strapped seam
skirt and bodice going into a wide belt
and finished with loose front, is an ex-
tremely useful summer gown. 1t

takes travel well, looks we'll when worn
with cloth jacket, does not need to

and look as good as ever.
Remember the goods must be thor
oughly shrunk before making up.
Most stores will at a small cost at
tend to the shrinking for you, If not,
then put the whole uncut length for
the dress into the tub. Be sure that
it soaks thoroughly in clear water, then
unroll and hang to dry on the line

glove must fit without wrinkles, but al
so without squeezing. Self Colored
stitching is the right thing and black

white glove with white wide stitching
and enameled metal fastenings is just
the thing for short-glove dress wear.

quotes. the words of an old negro who

their conversation:

whenever I comes around he tries to

I jest want to be fixed to paralyze his
desirability."
We had about half a mile to go, and
before we reached the depot / gave
him a large and choice assortment of
Webster's longest v~ocabularic curiosi,
ties.
When we drew up at the platform
Abraham was there, and also a dozen
white people who were to go out on the
train. It was a good opportunity for
the son to show of, and he realized it,
and came forward aad waved his arm
and shouted:
"Yo' dar, ole man; ha'n't l tole yo'

Abraham's eyes hung out, his COM
plexion became ash color, and his knees
bent under him as if the springs were
about to give way. 1t was a minute
before he could utter a sound, and then
he reached for my trunk with the NUT
tered observation:
"Things am gittin' so mixed up !

And he ketched Dan'l by the nap of
the neck and lifted him up and says,
"Why, blame my cats, if he don't
weigh five poundsl" and turned him
upside down, and he threw up a double
handful of shot, and then he g how it
