this country. Almost every
thing points to war, and l
do not hesitate to say Let
us have war" This time IS
a crisis in the history of the

For the first time in the
history of the state of
Massachusetts, the Confed-
crate battle flag has been
publicly waved IN the faces
of the commemorative peo-
pie. Instead of greeting it
with Kisses and cries of
derision, they cheered it to
the echo, while the orchestra
played Dixie.
This remarkable event
took place at the Grand
opera house, before an audi
enc: of Bostonians that
filled the big theater from
the orchestra stalls to the
.topmost tier of gallery seats.
1t came as a climax to an
exhibition of national colors
and the playing of patriotic
music, which has been in
vogue at the theater during
the past week.
About ten years ago, when
Manager Magee was paying
a visit to Memphis, Tenn.
he was entertained by the
Chickasaw Guards, one o.
the best known military
organizations Of the south

of the members made him

1t is interesting TO note the ingend-
ty dressmakers employ in the making
OF Bingham frocks. Many of the hand
somer ginghams boast no end of dainty
handiwork. and there is as much time
and elaborate trimmings spent on them
as is spent on gowns designed for
great functions. As there Is no expec-
tatiOn that these gowns will ever be
subjected to the laundresses hands
they are trimmed with ribbon velvet
and frequently with ruftieS of silk or
mousseline de sole. Many of them are
made up over silk slips and are suit
able for informal afternoon calling
gowns and even for wear at small So
ciety affairs In one the skirt is made
with a close-fitting shaped skirt and
ends in vandykeS cut out to show a
plating of rose silk. The vandykes
are embroidered in deep rose shades
and black, which blend exquisitely
with the rosy tint of the gown itself.
The blouse is of accordion plated silk
with a yoke of embroidered bingham.
The stock and sash are of ribbon in a
rose several shades darker than the
tint prevailing in the gown. The
rough straw hat is also of the rose and
is trimmed with a wreath of roses and
a long. soft paradise plume in white.
The white chiffon parasol is lined with
rose silk.

Harriet Martineau, the English au-
thor, was shrewd and practical. and
had what men are pleased to call a
masculine intellect" But she was not
always correct in her deductions. a fact
illustrated by the following anecdote,
told in her Memoirs" by Sir Charles
Murray, who was then the English con-
sul-general in Egypt: One afternoon
We met at the villa of my old friend.

NahamOudieh canal In the course of
our stroll through the garden We came
to a small gate. the pattern of which
was new to Miss Martineau. who was
walking in front. She stopped. and
looking at the gate in an attitude of
intense admiration. exclaimed: How
truly Oriental. What wonderful taste
these fasteners have in design" She
went on. and as Larking and followed
through the gate, he whispered to me,

With a Shakespeare or Ibsen TO do il
Justice. the following incident might
easily rise to the heights OF sartorial
tragedy. Even between the very crude
outlines all women can perceive the
pathos Of the situation. The heroine
is a woman whose new frocks are not
so many but that she generally has
several old ones on hand. One year
ago she had a dress skirt made, and
very pretty one it was, too, but IN spite
of its prettineSS il was victim 10 the
prevailing contamination of the times
it had no pocket. The woman. as
was her habit. even though she knew
how futile it was searched carefully
all over for a possible pocket. but in
vain. AS was also her habit. she
didn't have a pocket put in; for what
ever reason. there seems TO be a re-
luctance upon the part of most women
to have this done Once unprotected
always unprotected seems to bs the
rule where dress skirts are concerned
The woman accordingly put the skirt
on. and wore it just as it was, which
also means that she entered upon an
era of pocket handkerchief losing. For
one whole year now has the woman
worn the skirt. not incessantly, OF
course. but more or less continuous
~. while the pocket handkerchiefs she
has lost. thanks to it, during that pc
riOd are unnumbered. The other day

time a dressmaker in the house was
deemed sufficiently skillful to attend
to It, The first thing she did was. OF
course. 10 rip the skirt apart And
one OF the first things she said, as
she brought to light an article as ca
pacious as it was unmistakable. was:

There is a new table berry on the

10 a Star reporter which proves that
there is something new under the sun
after all at least in the berry business.
The newcomer is called the wine berry
In shape and color il is not unlike the
raspberry though il is a trife smaller
in size. In taste and color it is a COM
bnation OF the raspberry and the old
fashioned red currant. 1t is superior
TO either of the berries from which it
sprung. and has an advantage over
either in ,nat it ships better and lasts
longer. 1t is graft from the raspber-
ry, and is the result of conside era lie
study and experiment. 1t grows in ev-
cry respect like the red raspberry, and
is as prolific. Those that have been
sent to market so far this season do not
show up as we'll as they should for the
reason that there has been but very
little rain in this section of the country

The Dinner Table.

The properly decked dinner table is
a source OF pride and satisfaction, and
whatever may be said of the feast, the
culinary art is one which is most
grateful for the daintiness and beauty
OF its serving.
Every one is reasonably attached to
good silver. but latter-6ay spreads
show less of it than formerly, unless
an effort at magnificence is the object,
and after all it is not difficult to name
the families who boast an entire serv-
ice of solid silver, and the real beauty
of an ideal table is made up of an eX-
quisite total of glstening linen, frag-
lie china, cut glass and the rest in
silver. In each of these table acces
sories there are ever and anon depart
ures, additions and innovations which
tend TO simplify the means of serving
or add to the charm of the picture.
Even in the patterns in which the
table linen is woven there are now
some handsome and pronounced nov
elites, which will be readily observed
as entirely different from the designs
of last season. Large flowery patterns
prevail, and in this line beautiful
pattern, the marguerite, is worthy of
notice.
1t is made entirely without border
design. The large life-size flowers are
strung along in broad stripes. and
showing the stalks and foliage true to
the nature of the plant.
An exquisite new pattern is the jon
quill, having centre mat OF the flowers
and an oddly disposed border, where
the flowers form a close, short wreath
at the edge, and rising from them
deeper border of tall stalks with leaves
interspersing and the flowers set along.
Round tablecloths for round tables
are all made to be hemmed. as fringes
are out of date. Some of fine texture

I'll bid my hyacinth to blow,
I'll teach my grotto green to be.
And sing my true love, all below
The holly bower and myrtle-tree.
There. all his wildwood scents to bring.
The sweet south wind shall wander by
And with the music of his wing
Delight my rustling canopy.
Come to my close and clustering bower,
Thou spirit of a mlder cline,
Fresh with the dews of fruit and flower.
OF mountain-heath and moory thyme.
With all thy rural echoes come,
Sweet comrade of the rosy day,
Waiting the wild bees gentle hum,
Or cuckoos plaintive roundelay.
Where'er thy morning breath has play'd.
Whatever isles of ocean fannd.
Come to my blossom-woven shade,
Thou wandering wind of fairy land!
For sure, from some enchanted isle.
Where heaven and love their sabbath
hold,
Where pure and happy spirits smile.
OF beauty's fairest brightest mould;
From some green Eden of the deep.
Where pleasures sigh alone is heaved,
Where tears of rapture lovers weep.
Endear'd, undoubting, undeceived;
From some sweet paradise afar.
Thy music wanders, distant, lost;
Where Nature lights her leading star,
And love is never, never cross'd.
Oh. gentle gale of Eden bowers.
II back thy rosy feet should roam,
TO revel with the cloudlesS hours
In Natures more propitious home.
Name to thy Elysian groves,
That Ger enchanted spirits Irvine,
A fairer form than cherub loves,
And let the name be Caroline.
