THE NEW FIGURE.
When the girl with the new figure
appears on the avenue, in her new
tailor made gown, she must wear a
hat tilted well over her forehead. OF
course, this is her spring hat, and II
must be of straw or straw and chenille
combined The favorite shape turns
~ ahruntlv AT the back, and is trim
med with ribbon loops to give a broad
effect. In many of the new spring
hats the trimming appears to be
massed at the back. The back view

BISMARCK.

Otto von Bismarck penned this gloomy
lament. 1t was not wrung from the bitter
ness of his later years; it came from him in
the prime of manhood when William CT
Prussia, just called to the throne, invited
him to Berlin to become the head of the
ministry. This was a supreme momen in
the history of Prussia, for bismarck was to
usher in his famous policy of blood and
iron and set the pegs for Germany's regen-
Grafton. Yet at the very threshold of this
great work he was filed with a morbid ap-
~prehension of the v~anities and vexations of
the world. One can hardly imagine Bis
marck. whose daring craftsmanship was to
change the map of Europe and keep kings
and p~otentates in awe, pausing on the brink
of his wonderful achievements to lament
the folly of nations and of men.
But Bismarck had several sides to his
nature. In diplomacy art!ul and auda-
clous, In battle grim and relentless, gruif
and stern in his treatment of political ri
walls, he had nevertheless softer moods,
III which humor, philosophy and religion
blended %curiously to Tighten up the general
~sternnesS and determination of his charac-
ter. He was an atfectionate, faithful hus-
band, a kind and indulgent father and a
generous neighbor and friend. He could,
however, DrOoK no opposition to his ideoa
OF policy and resented the slightest ~interfer-
ence with his power in the empire, but his
deep, absorbing patriotism, his u~nbounded
faith III the glorious future of his country,
us well as his profound reverence of its past.

this with the expense of mobilizing
