is intense. It IS that alone which makes

themselves are most beautiful. These
are always eagerly sought for by the
ultra f~ashionables, who think their
summer dresses would not bring a
blessing unless they were made during
Lent. Most of the young ladies sew or
these dresses a little, for it is good to
humble the spirit and a whole lot of
other things.
The linen lawns, india linens, Persian
patterned lawns, French organizes,
balsorines, mimosas and zephyrs and
Scotch ginghams are all among these
new stuffs, but the most of those that
are printed have enormous figures.
The heavier cottons for suits and
waists are very like those of a year ago.
There are dimities, nainsooks, madras
and cheviots, piques and duck and ever
so many fancy cottons. There are cot
ton cheviots looking SO near the wooden
ones that they are almost wonderful.
These will be used for bicycle suits. The
fancy cotton ducks are excellent for all
sorts of hard wear. Som of the piques
are in very dark blues, with dots and
other figures printed IN them.
Satin broche is shown for shirt waists.
The surface is satin figures over sea
island cotton. This is very pretty, but
don't trust the lilac shades. There are
tweed suitings where liner n cotton
are mingled, and the finished material
is shrunken. Galatea cloths and linen
crashes and linen cheviots are all
shown. So is challie both in cotton and
wool in exquisite designs. Striped ma
dras and oxford shirtings are excellent
value for real solid use.
These are not half of the beauties of
the summer cottons and linens. Plain
gingham checks in half inch squares
in blue and white, pink and white and
mauve are likely to be very popular for
summer frocks.
A frock, my dears, is just a pretty,
clean dress that you put on of a warm
summer morning for all your running
around.
A dress is what you wear in the after
noon when you think some one may
call.
A gown is what you wear on the
promenade, generally tailor fashion.
A toilet is a grand affair for dinners
of ceremony or reception, opera or ball.
You wear your habit when on horse
back and your suit at tennis, your "di-
vided" on the bicycle and your costume
when you go to pay calls.
There may be a few other distinc-
tons; but. aside from your lever du
lit or peignoir and your breakfast wrap
per, the rest are not worth mention.
Ducks, crashes, linen cheviots and
colored piques will be worn for Wheel
ing in summer to the exclusion of al
most everything else. They are also be-
ing prepared for golf and for natty
suits for hot weather.
For spring the tailor suits have a de-
cided leaning toward gray. Grays in the

conservation over a,Darning Needle

CONSERVATION over a"tDarhIn$ NeeOIe
According to the story of an aged resi-
dent of Fitzroy, Ont, he well remembers
the time when there was but n dafning
needle in that county, and the only mill
was a days journey distant.
One day a. Mrs. Dickson, who CHANGED
to have temporary possession of the darn
ing needle and had it carefully stuck in
her apron in a holder set off for the mill
with a bag of grain laid on the back of a
horse. The good lady had a rough road
to travel and unfortunately lost the darn
ing needle.
This was really a public calamity in
Fitzroy. Nearly 90 housewives depended
upon that darning needle for repairing
socks and for other coarse mending. 1t
passed from one log house to another by
special messenger, and every woman had
the use of it one day in three weeks.
Another darning needle could not then be
procured nearer than Perth, a matter of
SO miles away.
Tidings of the disaster which had be-
fallen Mrs. Dickson soon spread, and IN
the following morning a dozen women,
some of them accompanied by their chill
dren and some by their husbands, turned
out to search three miles of forest path. 1t
seemed a hopeless task, but keen eyes
were bent Upon every portion of the high
way, and at length one little girl espied it.
A great shout was raised, and the good
news was carried along the line of search
ers. The party returned home, and the
reioicings in newly settled Fitzroy that
day were great.-Philadelphia Record.

there was a draped belt Of pink silk and
q surpuce field at the neck. She wore a
high collar Of pearls with two or three
long strings.
Another young lady wore a dress
which looked like a basket of pepper
mint candy. The material was white
crepe lisse, with white chenille dots,
very small, all over 1t. There were two
skirts, the lower one having n deep
plated hounce, on which there were
three other ruf1es, the upper and lower
being plated and the middle being bias
and very slightly gathered. The same
arrangement was put on the tunic or
pointed overskirt. There were three
points in front, the center one being the
longest, and the same arrangement in
the back. The plated rufies were all
bordered with a half inch width of fine
black lace, while the gathered ones had
zach two rows of bright red velvet rib
bon very narrow.
AT the back Of the waist was a sash
bow with ends reaching to the knees,
rufied with the plating all around, with
the narrow lace on the edge. The waist
was low. and the front was loosely
draped across

There was another dress worn at that
grand ball by a young girl whose taste
is perfect. The underskirt was OF ghs-
tening white taffeta. with three or four
very narrow bias rufies overlapping at
the bottom and each bordered with a
fax blue baby ribbon. Over this SILK
skirt was a tulle skirt made much wider
and longer than the under one. This
tulle was then pulled and tackled at
regular intervals all over the skirt, TAX
ing up all the surplus width and length,
and in each place q tiny blue flax flow
err with a couple Of leaves was set. The
lower part was left free to fall over the
rufTlcs like a veil of mist.
The silk waist was tight and pointed.
The tulle was puffed and draped over it
and drawn to the bottom, where the
point was outlined by a narrow line Of
the pretty blue lowers. A sort Of
fringe Of them was drawn around he
neck, falling loosely by their stems
down over the tulle. The sleeves were

ness Her father moved from
Milwaukee to Chicago when she was
only 8 years old. At 10 she had already
begun to haunt his office, and when she
was old enough to be of any assistance
to him she was as proud of her work as
most girls are of their first long dress.
Some time ago Robert Lindblom went
out of business. Miss Lenor was max
ing 8 tour of Europe at the time. When
she came back, she longed for the old
excitement, and SO she organized the
firm of Lindblom & Co., of which she
is the Lindblom. The company" is her
uncle. AS it is the privilege of the mem
bers of each commission firm to become
members Of the board of trade, Miss
Lindblom put in the usual application.
When the other brokers learned that
the pit" was in danger of being in
vaded by petticoats, there were many
protests and no little CONSERVATION. At
last accounts the committee had not
acted on the application, but there were
runners that if it went to the directors
it would be rejected. Miss Lindblom is
an aggressive young woman, however,
and may gain her point after all.

ANIMAL PARTNERSHIPS.


Curious Creatures That Get Along
WcIIsIn Common Quarters.
An intimate connection subsisting be-
tween different animals is known as COM
mensalis1n, commensals being creatures
which may be said to sit at the same table,
and which do not prey upon one another.
Of late years naturalists nave become &C
quainted with numerous examples of this
form of animal partnership. In one of
the Chicken islands, off the New Zealand
coast, says the Washington Star, a curious
lizard known as the tuatara and certain
species of the petrol were found inhabit-
ing the same burrows, apparently on the
best of terms. In rare cases the buTrow,
which consists of a passage two or three
feet lopg, ending in a chamber a foot n
a half long, one foot broad and six inches
high, is the work of the bird. As a rule,
however, the lizard is the excayator.
Each builds its nest on opposite sides of
the chamber, the lizard almost invariably
choosing the left and the petrol the right
side. The lizard feeds partly on worms
and beetles and partly on the remnants OF
fishes brought to their common table by
the petrol, both animals being thus bene-
flied by the partnership. This Is proba-
bly, more thar can be said of the prairie
dog, whose underground home is frequent
~ shared by the rattlesnake and the bur-
rowing owl. These were at one time sup
posed to form a "happy family" but con-
siderable doubt has been cast on the point
by the discovery of young prairie dogs in
the stomach Of the rattlesnake, which
seems to indicate that commensalisn in
this particular case has been a one sided
affair so far as the benefits were concerned.
1t is among marine animals, however,
that the most striking examples of COM
mensalism have been observed. A feeble
fish called the remora owes Its success in
life to the powerful alliances 1t forms.
One of its fins has been transformed into
a sucker placed right on top of it's head,
by means of which it attaches itself firmly
to any passing shark, whale or even ship,
no doubt mistaking the latter for some
huge sea monster. By these it is trans
ported without any exertion on it's own
part over great distances, meanwhile pick
ing up such food as may come in its way.
Several small fishes nave been found
also to habitually lodge in the mouth
cavity Of a Brazilian catfish, sharing such
food as the latter succeeds in capturing.
The enemies of the smaller fishes are SO
numerous that it is only by retreating to
places inaccessible to their foes that they
have q chance of survival. A ~fayorite
shelter for many small fishes Is the round
disk of the larger sea ~jellies.

cowyer,s House.

In 1867 William Cowper moved from
Huntington to Olney, where at Orchard
Side he found a neg home. The house
is Of red brick, with stone trimmings,
and it still stands In the market place.
The house, which forms part of an es-
tate, has just been sold. Some 20 years
later the poet quilted Olney and went to-
a neighboring village, Weston, some two
miles distant. On the road between Oh
