a few hints of what will be worn may
prove useful.
Another very swagger skirt, de-
signed by a leading modiste, was of
blue and white dimity, shaped to the
hips with clusters of tucks In four
places across the front, which were
covered with strips OF inserting twelve
inches long. The fullness was allowed
to fall straight from these.
Ruiiies are things easiest to launder
and for this reason they will he the
most popular for wash gowns. A move
idea, new this spring, is to have one
rufle around the bottom nine inches
wide. with three above three inches
wide. When the rufies are narrow
they are absolutely tiny.

Learned. but Eccentric.

Professor Lincoln of Brown Univer-
sity, whose death occurred a few years
ago, used to tell amusing anecdotes Of
Neanuer. the great professor and his
torian of the Christian church OF the
Berlin University, under whom he
studied for some time.
Neander was accustomed when lee
turing to stand behind a curious, high
desk, with an open framework, and
with holes and pegs for letting 1t up
and down. His costume Was a very
Il n coat. coming down to the tops Of
his great jack-boots, and with a collar
which reached almost as high as his
head as he bent over his desk. and
with arms extended forward, twirled In
his fingers a quill pen. If this quill
~dropped, there las a hiatus in the lee
lure until some one would pick 1t up
end place 1t In his hands. and then the
wonderful flow of learned discourse
would proceed.
II is said that when Neander went to
Berlin he happened, in going from his
home to the university for the first
time, to be with a friend, who, for the
sake of some errand, took a most cir
cuitous route; Neander pursued this
roundabout course for years, and only
by accident discovered that there was
a shorter way. a.
On one occasion, being FustIed on a
crowded sidewalk, in order to pass by
the crowd, he stepped off into the got
ter with one foot. keeping the other
loot on the c~urbstone. When the
crowd was passed. he continued abb
ssnt-minded to walk on In this curl
Gus fashion, and when he reached
home he complained Of being fatiguela
from the disorded condition Of the
streets. An acquaintance, who had fol-
lowed him. Was able to explain the
fatigue.
