Gold and silver mOunled opera Days are
made of brilliant silk covered with silk
null. 1t would seem that the bag might
at once be made of a brocade and have
done with it. but not a bit of it, The null
with it's brocade figuring makes a beauti-
ful soft effect over the silk that would
not be reproduced by the weight and
clumsy elegance of brocade. Besides, a
thing as expensive as an opera bag must
be delicate, easily mussed and dainty,

Aprons for little girls from four to ten
wears of age are in high favor this win

for afternoon wear or when sent for to
see visitors the childish and becoming
fashion of wearing an apron is correct.
These are made of sheer nainsook or
India linen. low necked, sleeveless. of
the shape known as French, and trimmed
with the daintiest n sheerest of tor
chon, valenciennes, Swiss or nainsook
embroidery.
There is a new color brought out in
thick gloves. an apricot tinge, which is
likely to wear, and for bicycling there is
a gauntlet which folds downward in the

Aguiialdo further asserted
that he had never conferred
with the american authorities
since the capitulation of Manila

LOSS AND GAIN.

Oh, the gladness, Oh, the sadness
That combines the mighty whole
The excessive joy and madness
OF the unhedged human soul
Oh the losses and the crosses,
Hours Of pleasure, years Of pain,
As each frall bark onward tosses,
Der life's tempest-ridden main
Every Joy has sorrow in 1t,
Every laugh IS half sigh;
Blt let storms rage every minute,
Therell be sunshine by and by
By and by there'll he no crosses;
By aud by thercll be no pain,
And Tor all our bitter losses
There will be eternal gain.
