The WHY'S OF FASHION.
Summer Mourning, Partisan Hats, Parasol Novelties and
FadS of the Day.

New York, June 14-After wrestling
lcng and hopefully with tradition,
hygiene and good taste have brought
fashions in mourning to a state where
common sense and beauty unite to rob
the black garments of half their injury
and ugliness. Except in the first weeks
OF their bereavement, a wife or mother
can, especially in the summer time, al
most brighten into cheerfUlness the
heaviest black, merely by the amount
or white now permitted about the suits
CT woe. A white lisse cap and white
net veil, a white muslin tucker and
folded collar and shirred white cuffs to
the elbow give even a widows grief a
pleasing background.
Taffeta silk, with what is called a
dead finish. is the most modish fabric
for summer mourning dress. English
crepe has absolutely been relegated to
winter wear among mourners, the long

Our Own Shoe.

Harper's Bazaar: There is a common
saying to the effect that every one
knows where, his own shoe pinches.
This is true, but it is also quite as
true that each mans shoe pinches just
where he can best endure the pinch.
For it is merciful arrangement of
providence that, in spite of many
causes of grievance which each of us
fancies he possesses, we would rather
bear the trials or troubles we now pos
sess than exchange our lot for that of
any other person-if we had to take
all the vicissitudes connected with that
lot When one .fancies herself partic-
ularly aggrieved, it is a salutary prac-'
tice to look about and see if there is

There are better times before US" said
the school boy as he sat
With book in hand endeavoring to get his
lesson pat.
Some day Wen put away the stuff that
Caesar stopped to write
Instead of going forward and attending

There won't be any 'hic-haec-hoc' to
puzzle girls and boys;
The talking that we do will sound like
sense instead of noise.
From orum-arum-orums we'll be perma-

And the gerunds and the supines will be

I'VE needn't stop and squirt around the
ending of a word,
To fird out who is talking and just how

If a piece is worth the reading, every
thought Wen plainly trace,
When at last we Anglo-SaXons dominate

sense which led Rousseau to say that
"a point of morals would not be better
discussed in a society of philosophers
than in that of pretty woman of
Paris"
The clubs have hardly lived long
enough to justify a final judgment as
to their outcome; but the best writers
.of our own time have not been, as a
rule, actively identified with them,
though a few. whose minds were al
ready formed in another school, have
had much to do in founding and lead
ing them. The many able women who
have given their time and talents to
the clubs have oftener merged their lit
erary gifts, if they had them, into work
of another sort, not less valuable in
it's way, but less tangible and less in
dividual. 1t is the work of the gen.
eral, who plans. organizes, Sits, values,
adapts means to definite ends, but who
lives too much in the swift current of
affairs to give heed TO the voice of the
imagination. or TO master the art OF
literary form which alone makes for
thought a permanent abiding place.
