The distinguished citizen of the place
had been selected, by some authority

TO be accounted for, as it is nearly al

knows as little, or as much, Of The in

this instance, il is TO be hoped. he knew
less.
The distinguished citizen having in

A BIT OF LACE.
often Serves 20 Tighten Up a
Plain Gown-It Has other Uses
as Wei.

The possessor OF even the smallest
bit Of choice lace should regard II az
treasure and keep it among her pre-
cious things. Lace, though so fragile,
is nevertheless among those imperish-
able articles which, handed down in
families, go from mother TO daughter,
and are as useful TO the third genera
ton as they were TO the first, A certain
fine sentiment clings to the lace which
has been used at weddings and chris
Jennings, which has formed part OF the
grandmother's trousseau, and long
after she has done with IL adorns the
wardrobe of some youthful bride. who
repeats In her features the charms Of
her ancestress.
There are mutations OF lace made to-
day which almost counterfeit the real in
the fineness of their threads. the beauty
Of their designs, and the intricacy Of
their meshes; nevertheless, no ma
chine-made Imitation ever completes in
true value with a bit Of lace patiently
wrought by hand, perhaps in some quiet
convent, where the nuns work hour by
hour, stopping only to count the
beads on their rosaries or chant
their songs of praise; or made by a
peasant woman in the intervals of her
busy day, that she may thus earn her
children's bread. Poverty and pathos
are interviewer in che flmy cloud Of
lace which completes the toilet Of the
bride, and IN the delicate edge Of the
same on the cap Of the aged matron, or
the gossamer handkerchief which fin
iShes the costume of the great lady.
The plain gown fashioned without re-
gard to reigning styles takes on an
air of its own IL bit Of beautiful lace
be worn az the neck and sleeves. Lace
is seldom out OF vogue, though there
are seasons like the present when its
use is more general than at others,
when the lace shawls. long laid away
in lavender, emerge from their seclu-
sion and are fashioned into capes, over
dresses and drapery TO heighten the
lavish hnery Of a modern belle.
Regarded as n gift, nothing is more
suitable as an Offering from friend to
friend at a birthday, wedding or hol-
iday occasion than a bit Of fine lace
The woman is far TO seek who is in
different to IFS spell, and who does not
love 20 look over her laces as she looks
at her jewels, finding both among the
delights of her life.
Not only has lace its use in the toilet
It finds an appropriate place in bed
spreads, doilies and scarfs for bureau
and table ornamentation. For thes'
homelier uses heavier and more elab
crate style of lace is chosen than fo
the daintier needs Of the toilet.-Ilar

SPINACH FOR SPRING.
An Excellent Substitute for Med
icine When One Is Not
quite Wei.

We are all familiar with the patent
medicine sign which commends itself
to us by these cabalstic words; For
that tired feeling!" Now, those who
may object TO buying bottles and bot
ties Of this cure for WEAKNESS may OBJ
tain the same results by a liberal use
of common, everyday spinach. The
French call this homely vegetable the
scavenger of the stomach, and now our
own medical men are awakening TO the
wonderful medicinal properties Of spin
ach. It contains salts OF potassium,
iron and other things which conduce to
a good complexion, long life and a
cheerful disposition.
The man with a disordered liver and
the woman with a bad complexion
should contract the spinach habit and
these things will be rectiiied. The chem
lst Bingo says that this article of food
contains more iron to the square inch
than "the most renowned ferruginous
remedies"
So convinced has the medical profess
sion become Of the value of the once
despised spinach that, according to the
Sanitary Record, ut is already an ac-
tive ingredient in several new and sala-
BILE tonics."
The iron in spinach is easily assim-
Hated and the vegetable is easily di-
gested. The fact that spinach has
such n remarkable effect upon the
complexion will recommend Il TO the
girls, and its beneficial effects upon the
liver viii recommend IL TO the men
For n next morning" nothing is SO
good as a hearty breakfast Of spinach
In short, the virtues Of the vegetable
are so numerous that It would take q
long time to tell them. but if the spin.
ach habit grows to anything like the
i proportion reached by the oatmea
habit we shall shortly turn into a
strong, iron built. fresh compleNioned
