in short, nearly the whole cape. can

more elegant'wrap. 1t was intended for
middle aged lady. l thought then of
the law Of compensation, which makes
fashion reserve for those whose youth
and freshness have flown the richest
and most sumptuous of garments.
Next to the capes come the three
quarter coats in point of elaborateness
and elegance These are of smooth fin
surpass anything ever before done in
that line In some of them the pattern
covers almost the whole surface, leaving
free only the upper part of the sleeves.
In others the front only is braided and
the back left entirely plain. One design
has large storm collar of black marten
and the fronts and sleeves closely braid
ed in very rich design of scrollwork.
This is all sewed by machine and is very
firm and wonderfully accurate. Still
another of these beautiful coats has a
graceful pattern wrought in fiat SOU
tache braid down the front, around the
sides and up the center plait in the
back. The whole waist was covered, the
back Of the collar and the sleeves up to
the elbows. The collar was bordered
with Alaska sable. These three quarter
coats are made in dark green, blue,
prune, terra Gotta and black, also tan
and biscuit. These latter have brown
braidiEg and are permissible only for
the young. Those of darker hue may be
worn by even white haired grandmoth-
ers. There are many other three-quarter
coats with next to no trimming made
with fly fronts and also double breasted.
Short jackets are very popular, too, and
often match gowns.
The furs are now all on exhi5ition in
the showrooms of the big fur houses.
The prevailing idea is very odd and very
old. Tippets and quaint little capes
something like viotorines, with long
square tabs, each having two tails, are
among the newest. These have enor-
nous Elizabethan ruff and look best
when made of ermine with shoulder
pieces of creamy white moufflon. Tip
pets having double rows Of tails are odd
and pretty for young folks. One had
row of four at the top and four just be-
low them. With this was curiously
shaped muff like butterfly, with lit
tie head and three tails where the body
would be. One cape was made of vel
low fox skins, only the center of each
being used. The collar was in shape of
boa, made of the tails I don't know
how many skins were in the pelerine,
but there were five tails in the boa. A
very full shcrt capo had round plaits
held in place by many rows Of feather
bone, and at the back Of the neck there
was ribbon bow with little head and
three long tails. One of the finest of
the new cloaks was regular redingote

particularly ugly and cumbersome.
Plated Russian blouses, with the lower

stylish. may add as a parting word
about furs, you who have grandmoth-
ers and great grandmothers should go
and coax them to overhaul their old
trunks. If sou are fortunate enough to
find one of the fur garments or muffs
that she used to wear, just put it on
and go down the street with proud
sense Of being precisely in the best style
Of today. There is a great deal of COM
fort of mental quality to be found in
furs other than that afforded by their
warmth.
Flounces are put upon some of the
walking dresses to such an extent that
we, like the senator we heard about, do
not know exactly "where we are at. :"
And yet one rarely meets one in the
street. Flounces as decoration to home
gowns look we'll, but are hardly as pret-
ty in such materials as are usually worn
abroad They ripple in soft undulations
very gracefully when put upon the light
evening silks or thin stuffs. There
seems to be no limit as to the width or
number of the aounces one can put up
ON her gown. One dress for home had
20 narrow ruffles. Another for ball
had three, and SO it is You can do as
you like.
Bayadere stripes have not appeared
much in public, though probably they
will later on, when the social functions
are in full swing. The annual horse
show is the great day here, and it is
then that each lady tries to kill her
dearest foe with envy. It is to be
hoped that the fad of having hats and
toque bonnets made of whole owls will
have died out. This odd caprice has
brought out some such atrocious witt
cisms that one is in state of collapse,
each minute expecting some one to say,
"Owl you have it?'' or some other
equally brilliant pun. But as a small
boy expressed it, "When sister Nan puts
on her owl hat, she don't look SO worse,

There are more varieties than ever in

go amiss when making any kind of a

Not so, however, are the sky blue,

are many monstrosities in plaids and
other designs. Refined ladies look at
them, but do not purchase them

A Roman deacon was sent for to bap-
tie baby. In the cabin he could find
no water, but there was a pot of tea.
Tea, he reasoned, contains water,
the rest is but accident, and proceeded
to pour out cup. But it was strong,
even to blackness SO he went in search
of water, and, having found some, wa
tered the tea down to a more reasonable
color, christened the baby with it, and
reported the circumstance, as a case of
conscience, to his superior 1t had not
occurred to him, having found the wa
ter, to use it by itself.
Here is a tutor S letter of coincidence to

satisfy the examiners in classical mod

One other story, | may add here, as
it serves to illustrate certain disparity
often noticeable between Saxon and
Celtic word values, and also the way in
which Irish orators discount their own

BESIDE The BAY.

Noting the sunsets golden hue,
Said quantity to summer guest,
.Oh, look the lights almost shine
through"
Then told the tale tell to you.
Ihe winds blew here the winds blew there,
In eery CLINE beneath the sun.
We dreamed they would some happy day
Bring tidings of our wandering one.
White ships came in from every sea
That beats between the frozen poles
We watched them bearing up the bay
Their freights of home returning souls.
A loving fancy came to me,
Staid with me, would not go away,
That some time should hear his voice
Blown landward from the foaming bay
One March day, when the tides were out
My man and sat in the sun.
An iris blossoined by the step.
Twas planted by our wandering one.
The neighbors slur the fond conceit," ("
But we both heard these words that day
"Rest comes not to the watching heart.
Abide in peace and hope and pray.
"The sea is Gods All seas are one.
So sit you here beside the bay
And think these grading waves perchance
Are loves own hands that show the way
Between you and your lost today"
Since that springtime sweet peace is ours,
We rest and pray and calmly wait.
Our wandering boy seems near us now.
The sea line is the heavenly gate.

The GLOVE TREE.
How thu Buds Are Prepared For the Uses

How thu Buds Are Prepared For the Uses
of Commerce.
The Glove tree is native of the Mo-
lucca islands and belongs to the far
spread family of myrtles It is a tall,
very handsome evergreen, with oyate,
oblong leaves and purplish flowers, ar
ranged in corymbs on short jointed
stalks. The flowers are produced in
great profusion, and when they appear,
which is at the beginning of the rainy
season, they are in the form of elongat-
ed, greenish buds These unexpanded
buds are the cloves of commerce, which
derive their name from the Spanish
word clavo. ''a nail, " so called from
the real or fancied resemblance of the
bud to nail.
Sometimes the Glove fruit appears in
commerce in a dried state, under the
name of "mother cloves " 1t has an
odor and flavor similar to cloves, but is
much weaker.
The flower buds are beaten from the
tree and are dried by the smoke of wood
fires and afterward by the sun. If the
buds remain on the trees, the calices
gradually SWELL the embryo seeds en-
large and the pungent properties of the
cloves are to a great degree dissipated.
Cloves consist of two parts, round
head, which is, in fact the flower rolled
up, inclosing number of small fla
ments, and the four points that sur
round the flower and form the flower
cup of the unripe seed vessel. When
they are soaked for short time in hot
water, the flowers soften and readily
unroll, SO that all Of the parts may be
seen.
The entire Glove tree is highly aro-
matte, and the foot stalks of the leaves
have nearly the same pungent quality
as the calyx of the flower. -Philadel-
phia Times.
