Men and
the Mode

| New York, April 1.-THE easter girl
will not have a monopoly of all the
spring fnery. The easter dude will be
a respondent creature in the Fifth
avenue parade, and what is more, if he
keeps strictly TO the fashions. he will
not be the grotesque spectacle of for
mer years.
There is nothing absurd about mems
fashions for the spring. ExaggeTa-
ton has been supplanted by common
serse, and it is possible for the aver
age man to clothe himself in the pre-
vailing mode without sacrificing his
self respect, or running the risk o.
appearing ridiculous in the eyes of the
wide, wide world. In accomplishing
these results the makers of the fash
ions deserve every variety of praise, a ;
the modes nave been created not to
tickle the eccentric fancies Of the dude.
but to please the generality of man
kind
Here are some points for the man
who expects to make a striking APP
pearance at church or ia the parade on
easter Sunday. The proper dress for
this function is the frock, OR as it is
more popularity known, the Prince AL
bert coat. This garment has been
growing in popularity the last few
years, but the fact that former fashions
decreed it to be of ridiculous length.

STYLE OF DRESSING THE HAIR.

Writing on dressing the hair, Isabel
A. Mallon, in September Ladies Homo
Journal, says that "a pretty and abso-
lutely new coiffure is the one that,
while it givas the blouse effect, really
consists of three deep waves that turn
back, and which are, of course, made
by the iron. At the back the hair is
arranged in a double eight twist that
shows well at the sides, but does not
rise above the top Of the head. Wo-
men who have very little hair can tie
it close to the head, fasten the switch
on by string drawn through its loop,
which is the best way and then, pin
ming down their hair close to the head,
arrange the switch to form the double
eight. Elderly ladies, especially those
whose hair has grown entirely white,
wear it oftenest in PompadOur roll,
which requires a small pad under it,
and then in the back have a plated
switch carefully pinned to the hair in
9 looplike fashion. Many ladies who
have reached middle age or passed it
adhere to the couture selected as be-
coming when they were young, and it
must be confessed that there is q GER
tain dignity about this

A SONG.

Laugh at loving If you will
But no laughing Love can kill!
Still he reigns in maiden's eyes
COnquers with a sweet surprise,
And still, though all the world is dark
and sleeps,
Love like sunbeam through the shad-
ow creeps,
And gentle hearts in warmest passion
sleeps.
Cities he will Overskip,
For he lo1 es country lip
That no shame or lying sears,
And an eye undimmed with tears;
So oft you'll find him at the country
fairs,
Where kirtled Prudence sells her home
ly wares.
Fresh crooks of butter or ripe Rather
inc pears.
Laugh at loving as you may,
Love will Taught another dayi
If he laughs not, you shall weep
For his favor ere you sleep!
Bring to his altar, then-in time be
wise
Bring Venus apples, that poor lovers
prize.
And pansies, softer than their mistress
eyes!
