Assume q ruddy crimson flush,
The milky paleness having grown
Into peerless rosy blush,
feel an impulse stealing
To kiss the maiden then and there
And 80 would, and SO would.
Did but darei
When Sylvia sits with me alone,
While all within the house Is hushed,
And prattles in far sweeter tone
Than ever robin redbreast pushed.
fain would clasp her to my heart,
She seems SO simply sweet and fair.
And SO l should, and SO I should,
Did but daIel
When Sylvtas sparkling eyes shine bright
Like twinkling starbeams in the sky,
And every glance seems to invite
My lips to hush her muff1ed sigh,
long in ardent soft caress
To Irvine mine arms about her hair.
And SO could, know 1 could,
Did but darei
When Sylvia walks abroad with me,
The world doth wear a brighter hue.
Her eyes seem fairer than the sea,
Her lips than roses kissed with dew. =
long to tell her loves sweet tale,
To hymn her beauty, fresh and rare
And SO could know could,
Did but darel
And so my timid, craven heart
Is filed with mournful, bitter care.
For though l would and should and could,

A High Ball.
The recent coup of the Princess dc
Sagan in Paris has created much smil-
ing comment. She is well known lead
er in the fashionable world and for 30
years she and her husband have lived
apart Recently she succeeded in carry
ing him off from his club while he was
nd hQ 10
and it is announced reconciliation has
taken place. Her eldest son, who al
ways sided with his father, is furious,
and his mother will not let him see his
father more than once a week, and no
one knows whether the old prince is
staying at his wife's house of his free
will or because he is locked in. An
amusing story is told about the condi-
lions under which the prince attended
ball given by his wife to royalty in
1878. 1t was impossible to entertain
royalty without the presence of the mas
ter of the house, and the princess sent a
friend to intercede with her husband.
The prince at the time happened to be a
bit short of money and hardly waited
for the friend to make explanation be-
fore he responded: Certainly, I'll
come with great pleasure-for $40, 900. :"
He got the money and was at the ball.

street skIrsS
Street skirts are made almost like
riding habit in their clinging effect,
the most graceful skirt that a woman
can wear, which fact is almost COM
pensation for the added length. AS
however, these skirts, with their fam
like backs, are made without lining, or
rather separate from the indispensable
silk lining which is short enough to
clear the ground and serves in lieu of a
petticoat, they are so easily held up by
| one hand in the street that their length
| is hardly an annoyance. They are faced
| on the underside with the same silk as
that which serves az a petticoat, but
! are not stiffened, the outer skirt and
petticoat being on the same band. This
| does away with the silk skirt, which,
| for the last few years, has been worn
| instead of a white wash skirt-an idea
which is not fresh or dainty, to say the
least Now the white skirt is again
| deemed necessary, but it has changed its
| character and is of thin muslin, worL
| rather short, serving merely as pro

| HOW Lemons Are Dfses.S.
The uses of lemons are manifold. aoj
the more we employ them the better we
| shall find ourselves. For all people, il
sickness or in health, lemonade is not
only safe but a remarkably pleasant
drink. It is a specific against worms
and skin complaints. The pippini
crushed may also be mixed with water
and used as drink. Lemon juice is the
best antiscorbutic remedy known. 1t no
only cures the disease; but, what is bet
ter than cure, it is a preventive. Sail
ors make a daily use of it for that pur
pose. It is good thing to rub the gum
daily with lemon juice to keep them il
| healthy condition. 1t prevents chill
blains. Lemon used in intermittent fe
vers is mixed with strong hot black te,
or coffee without sugar. Neuralgia ma,
be cured by rubbing the part affected
with a lemon. 1t is valuable also Il
