SOME HELPFUL HINTS FOR WOMEN WHO
ARE WEARING DEEP BLACK.

When Dame Fashion puts on her thinking cap
and wrinkles her brow in the effort to devise new
fancies and follies in which TO garb womankind.
she usually succeeds in producing some gorgeous
Kaleidoscope effects. But In her zeal TO strip the
rainbow Of its tints for her fair devOtees she
shamefully negecis her old friends who have been
forced into mourning. Indeed. there is conspicu-
Gus dearth of Everything chic for the woman in

And now the hat Those long veiled, hair-pullng
creations that make a martyr of widow were a
subject of earnest study with Adelaide Hermann.
She had invented better fashion. ana this is how
il was done In place OF the heavy veil fastened
securely to the small bonnet crown she has devised
an adjustable veil of light weight which may be

HE INDICATED his HONESTY.

From The Philadelphia Review.
Old Joe Foster. who is a familiar figure around
Conshohocken, was selected few days ago to
make collection for the burial of colored
friend. 1t took much perseverance on the part
of Joe to raise the amount. but he finally sue
ceeded, and the funeral became an assured fact
The gossips however. could not allow the oc-
casion to pass unheeded, and just as the old
preacher in the midst Of his discourse, Joe
overheard the following dialogue between two
dusky damses: Il wohdah what Mstah Fostah
am a-gwine fob to do wifi de money dat am
left ovah." Il dunno what but you know
Mistah Fostah."
Joe's blood boiled, and in n twinkling h. had
interrupted the preacher and calling for
the funeral director. "Mstah Undahakah," he
exclaimed how mucn am youah bill?' "ESh-
ty-four dollars" was the reply Den please
glib a receipt in full" said Joe, as he counted
out the money
After the transaction had been completed.
amid much wonderment, Joe approached the
two women who had caused all the trouble.
Miss lisa bella Johnsng." he said loud enough
for everybody to hear" heah am yO' dollah

were allowed to proceed.
