trimmings for Velvet Cape.

A cape of velvet is elaborately
trimmed with very rich galloon. The
decoration is carried to pitch thai
almost suggests excess. In addition
to the galloon there is an edging oi
rich lace, which is gathered very full
and so adjusted that the lower edge
of the lace and the edge of the gar
ment meet. A feature of such trim
ming seems to be to place it not be.

Mannfsh Gloves Loosing Favor.

The severely plain glove is not gain
ing in favor, according to one au-
thority. There is demand for fancy
stitching and trimmings, for clasps
and hooks instead of buttons, and a
decided preference for pale tans and
grays and deep Russian green for the
street, and for light yellows, pearl
shades, pink and green for evening
wear. Novelties are out in tan, with
pink stitching, black with yellow, yell
low with lavender and OK blood with
green. The lambskin two-clasp glove
in all color is the correct thing to wear
with tailor-made costumes. An odd
glove that is to be introduced for
evening wear is of suede to the wrist.
From the wrist to above the elbow it
is of lace run through with narrow
ribbons. In some cases these ribbons
are spangled with sequins. The glove
is secured at the top by ribbons run
through heading of embroidery and
tied in bow.

A Flower Hospital.

Children very often have ideas
which to older people are revelation
of the treasury of sweetness and in
nocence child's mind may be.
A tiny little girl came into room
the other day where her mother sat
sewing. The little ones hands were
full of half-faded blossoms-pansies, a
carnation, a withered rosebud and
some daisies.
Mamma said the little girl, as
she looked seriously at the poor little
flowers and turned them over and
over in her hand. "I'm going to have
flower hospital and cure these
flowers"
"All right, my DEAR" said her
mother, 'tdo so if you like"
And later the little girl gathered all
her tiny cups and plates and filed
them with water, and busted herself
with putting the stems in the cooling
liquid, talking the while in soft, low
tones to the flowers she thought suf-
fering so. After she had played
quietly for some time her little face
became clouded and she began to cry.
s'Oh, mamma, won't none of them
get we'll but the pansies? ALI the
others are dead.
Who but a little child would have
thought of so sweet an idea as this
little ''fower hospital?" Grown
people might have given fresh water
or maybe thrown the blossoms away,
but this little one sat patiently by and
even if her little efforts were not re-
warded by the renewed life of the
blossoms, those around her watched
and listened in almost wonder at the
dear little fancy which filled her baby
mind, and were astonished anew at
the gentle vagaries of the lovely child
mind which so endears all little chill

vim and precision, and a number Of reci-
tations were cleverly given.
Then Mr. A. s. Solomons. formerly of
this city, who is in charge of the Baron
de Hirsch fund, unfurled a large silk flag,
and at the signal all of the children arose
and repeated in unison:
Flag of OJr great republic inspfrer IN

and stripes stand for bravery, purity, truth
and union, we salute thee We, the chill
dren of distant lands, VINO find rest under
thy folds, do pledge our lives, or hearts

thee. our country and the liberty of the
American people forever
Children said Mr.. Solomons, "yeu have
heard a great deal about our war with
Spain. Never was there a more just war.
We are not only fighting our enemy, but
nation that is the enemy of progress and
enlig htenment. Never was there such a
war before. Look at It. You are the chill

the richest men in our country are stand

The cheers made the big hall ring.
Il never expected to see England lend
her moral support to US. but she has done
so. and I now want you 10 give three
cheers for good old England" continued
Mr. Solomons.
Again the children cheered Justify, and
Mr. SOlOmOns became so enthusiastic that
he called for three more cheers for Old
Glory.

The French newspapers d a strong
leaning toward the American side of the
question now being settled by the war It
was at first thought by the French people
that the differences between the United
States and Spain could have been settled
by arbitration, and the shedding of blood
prevented. But they considered things to
be intclerable In Cuba, and that the inter-
ference of the Americans would certainly
result in Improvement in the condition of
the Cubans- They were anxious for the
liberation of the people of the Antilles from
Spanish rule, but were opposed to the an
neXation of Cuba. President McKinley's
