LATEST SOCIETY FAD.
The French Smart Set Insists That

Dogs Shall Be Married.
There is brand new fad in swell,
dom. It is the dog marriage. To be
thoroughly fashionable nowadays one
must own two dogs of opposite sex, and
they must have been duly married by
the staid and respectable canine select
ed by the fashionable community to act
as the representative of the cloth.
OF course, says the New York Herald,
it is from France that this new fad has
come. When it is necessary to discover
something particularly eccentric
Trench genius always comes to the res
cue. The fashionable to whom fell the
honor of introducing this new and
rather remarkable step for the advance
ment of canine creation was none other
than Nine. Ephrussi, daughter of Baron
Alphonse de Rothschild, the wife of
Maurice Ephrussi.
The initial wedding of dogs in high
society is so novel as to be we'll worth
description. In the first place Nine.
Ephrussi sent out formally engraved in
vitations to several hundred of her
lllChuS,
nuptials of Diane, her favorite poodle,
and LIE Petit Major, handsome poodle,
the property of Baron Alphonse de
Rothschild. Not only were the recip-
tents Of these invitations asked to come
themselves, but requested to also bring
their dogs.
Not the least odd and attractive fea-
ture of the whole affair was the fact
that many of these visiting dogs-in
truth, the majority of them-were in
full evening dress. Not evening blank
let's, but, if the dog was male, in the
swallow tail and trousers of the human,
together with the standing collar,
dress shirt and unspeakable tie.
With all this gorgeousness on the part
of the guests, what must have been the
worldly splendor that surrounded the
bride and groom! Diane, who is de-
Iscribed as poodle of rare grace and
beauty, wore a white satin dress,
trimmed with beautiful lace, u long
Itulle veil, decorated with orange BIOS
SONS, and white kid shoes. Major, the
bridegroom, wore a full evening dress.
On the buttonhole of NJ. Majors very
swell coat was dainty orchid.
Presently all the guests had arrived,
human and canine, the latter, of course,
being given the preference. Mime.

= Reversed ProNerh.

"Re good ard you will be happy
Is proverb that, when understood,
Means, simply by changing the wording.
BE happy and you will be good"
The child laughs out in her gladness,
No burden of care does she know;
God knows that the child must be happy
In order to prosper and grow.
Health. we say, is the greatest of blessings.
More precious than beauty or wealth;
And the doctors unite in declaring
That happiness brings us good health.
So let us learn to be happy,
Nor yield to a sorrowful mood;
And let us remember the proverb:
he happy and you will be good"
Annie e. Smiley, in Boston Globe.

Where He Failed.

He's a man of vast achievements
In a dozen various fields;
There is grandeur, there is pathos
In the facile pen he Yields;
lie has written noble poems
And produced successful plays,
And his fin de steele novel
Has commanded public praise.
He has won respect in science.
Having made a chart of Mars,
He invented a continuance,
Once, for ventilating cars;
BY his own unaided efforts
He has earned a pile OF pelf-
But he scored a dismal failure
When he tried tc shave himself.

COrsage Trimmings.

A late Partisan fancy is to trim
the back of the corsage as fancifully
as the front; thus, the back of a
dressy little bolero is slashed to the
neck and shows in the middle what
in front would be called Il surplice
vest, made of contrasting silk laid
in soft folds, and the V at the top
is filled in with Venetian guipure
over white satin. Another jacket
has the slashed back laced together
with narrow soutache forming two
quadrille diamonds, the whole
being underlaid with scarlet silk

FASHION NOTES.
Items of Interest to Ladies' Who
Dress.

Items of Interest to Ladies' Who
Dress.
One sometimes sees velvet dresses
with the seams piped with contrasting
color. but this is Il fashion that never
lasts for any length of time. Velvet is
a material with which one cannot af-
ford to be frivolous. Apiping or a cord
in the seam of a velvet skirt, while it
may have fashion to back its claims, is
not artistic and is very often not in good
taste.
A stylish costume of black japanese
crepe has a plain skirt with shirred
tlounces covering the lower half of the
skirt. The waist is gathered full and
drawn down at the back to the waist
line. The front is loose on either side
of dropping vest of fancy material
which is tucked inside of folded belt.
Among the revivals are punches of
flowers worn in the hair. In the days
of our grandmothers a headdress OF
flowers was considered the height of
elegance. When my lady went out to
tea, she carried her headdress in box
and adjusted it after her bonnet was re-
moved.
The velvet costume is much liked
and most well-dressed women like
to own one. To be in most perfect
style it is made up with satin collar,
cuffs, revers and sometimes there is an
extra vest with a turnedover collar.
Shoulder capes in the extreme sum-
mer styles are little more than very
wide>lutfy collars, They are made Of
lace or other thin or semi-transparent
summer materials, and deliberately
trimmed with jet and edging.
Among the new garnitures are pat
tern sets of collars, cuffs, rims and the
like of white kid deliberately wrought
with colored beads and metal threads.
The effect to broaden the shoulders
isevident in the straight out epaulettes,
cape-shaped frills and outstanding
shoulder puffs.
Crepe dresses are very fashionable
and are thought extremely elegant, es-
pcially in the finest grades of japanese
and China crepe.
There are few women to whom bright
red is becoming, but for those whom it
suits it is the perfection of shade.
Tam O'Shanter hats of the finest
straw are trimmed with rosettes of
black velvet and couple of black
quilts.
Among the important revivals for
dress is grosgrain silk, which is to be
one of the popular fabrics of the sea-
son.
Young girls are wearing wreaths of
flowers around their heads at parties
and entertainments.
Chemisettes and fronts of thin fab
rics and lace are worn with nearly
all dressy costumes.-N. Y. Ledger.

Oh, tranquil hour! Not silent as the mid
night,
But fraught with soothing sounds that
lull to rest
When Gods hand draws the afterglow's
rich curtain
Athwart the west.
The prattling brook. the hum of village
gossip,
The tuneful vesper of the missel-thrush
The homing rook-all own the soft en-
chantrlcrt
OF twilight hush.
The bare elm tops stand quiet as the
steerlc,
Their tender tracery clear against the
blue;
The primrose on the greensward drinks
serenely
Deep draughts of dew.
Oh. quiet hour! Oh, restful scene! oh,
maiden
In tranquil silence sitting by NY side
no sweeter peace than this that calms my
spirit
At eventdc!
