In wash silks for waists. utility gowns, and
children's dresses. there is very little difference
between this and last seasons patterns, which
are usually in stripes and pale colors. 1t Is the
bayadere stripe which is most in evidence in
other silks, and the new foulards are patterned
in crosswise effects resembling braided designs.
II it ever can be claimed that one color Is any
more fashionable than another. then 1t is safe to
set forth blue. mauve, gray and fawn as the
leading colors for spring attire.
All the shades Of blue are worn. but the one
with the lavender tint has the lead. The blue
bell shade is one Of the most attractive of all the
tints In light blue. and cloth gowns of this color
are effectively trimmed with white braid. The
biscuit tints which are most favored are very
light, and the palest shades Of gray are quite the
thing. This fancy for soft pale tints does not
extend to millinery, however. for here VIC have
the brightest shades of the tulips, brilliant reds
Of all kinds, and the deepest yellows.

tinctive feature of the latest novelties in
fabrics, especially in silks. and they are used
very effectively for rutfies. Some of the designs
simulate lace, others are in checks, stripes, and
waved lines, but they are telling ~revivals OF an

HORSE, TOO.
Boston Store Delivery Team
Overturned by Wind.
Jim" Burke Has Reason to Remember
the Rude Force of Old eoreas
on Feb. le, 1898.

If the government had weather
bureau on Jackson street its barometer
would have shown figures as to wind
velocity, Wednesday morning, that
would startle the people of Worcester;
but as it was, only Jim Burke, the
popular driver Of one of the Boston
stores delivery teams, was the sole one
to experience the gale and bear witness.
As Burke was driving on Jackson
street at II o'clock the wind had a full
sweep before it, and, with the demon
iacle fury of all the satanical elements,
1t rushed down upon the loaded team
with its struggling horse. The moment
the wagon felt the icy breath of Old
Bcreas steaming forth at the rate of
over sixty miles an hour, the Bos-
ton store delivery wagon tipped, and
with it the horse. Driver Burke was
thrown into the street, and, striking his
head on the hard snow, it was some
minutes before he recovered. The horse
tried to rise, but some seconds elapsed
before the tremendous gust had spent
ITSELF and the noble brute was able to
stand. Burke righted the wagon, and
drove the team to the stable, and was
then sent home, remaining there during
the day, where he suffered considerably
from his bruises. The people of the city
realized that the wind was blowing quite
a gale, but few would believe that it's
velocity was such as to take horse
from its feet and turn topsy-turvy a
well laden wagon.

FIRST UNlvERsALlsT CHOIR,
First Quartet Practically Re-sngaged And
Talent Planned For Second.

Henry F. Harris, who has general
supervision of the music at the First
Universalist Church. and who has been
one of the most successful choir direct
ors in the city, has practically re-en-
gagged the first quartet for the choir and
is planning to secure artistic talent for
the second. The only incomplete feature
of the first quartet is the absence of a
tenor; and, although several candidates
have presented themselves, and Mr..
Harris has several in his own mind, no
choice has yet been made. Mr.. Harris
himself will continue as director of the
choir, with Mrs. Harris soprano and
Mrs. H. A. Hancox Of Hudson alto, and
Harry Robinson as bass; DR.. Dutra' s
place as tenor being untaken. This is the
same choir as that of last year save DR..
Dutra In place of Mrs. Abbott of Fitch
burg, who has served as organist, Mr..
Harris has engaged the services of
Walter w. Farmer, who has officiated
in a similar capacity for the Park
Church in the past. No selection has
been made in the case of the second
quartet, and the places remain untitled.
Some of the candidates will be tried
next Sunday, and others later in the
week. when Mr. Harris hopes to select
the desired artist.
