gown worn.
If coming events cast their shadows
before, then the coming of Easter casts
big shadow in the way of hats. Ihey

absolutely Gothic in it's quaintness, and
so deliberately trimmed that the woman

in the shop windows.
And speaking of a shop window, a
meek little woman stopped me IN front
of a Broadway window the other DAY
to inquire: do they sell these inside!
L wanted to reply, mo, my dear
Madam they only show them.
SHOW HATS.
For it is a fact that one sees now, in
early Spring, some creations which are
not found later in the season. They are
there only apparently for show.
One hat may illustrate this. 1t was a
white chip, English walking hat, curl
ing close to the head at each side. Its
crown was a pudding bag, high and
big, made of the finest plaid velvet
steel gray and blue checked. At one
side were two great curling grey LeaIh-
ers, al least eighteen inches long, Tor
L16N lIdll0u upon the IIolL, caIlA "a SAA~AA
midst stood a Bird-of-Paradisf. plume.
At the front was magnificent SILVER
buckle price, $3.50. And that Is why
the early hats are not sold.

visit l had the pleasure of making TO

done so, for the trip taught me many
things. One was that you have exqul-

your prices are reasonable. One MIL
liner-I am tempted to tell her name
offered me an exquisite chapeau of
pearl blue velvet combined with dark
green, and relieved with bunch OF
black under the side, for $40, which
thought very cheap. Besides, tnere

fifty orders for Easter hats-and this

AN ATTENTIVE HUSBAND.
If a Good Wife Is Above Rubies. a Loving
Husband Is More To Be Priced
Than Silver or Gold

1t is not only the woman who can be
kind to the family invalid, but the man
as well. While there are men who
avoid the sick chamber as though con-
tagion lurked therein, there are others
who delight to minister to the needs of
the ailing one.
Such a man is the President of the
United States, whose attendance upon
the sick bed of his wife has long been
known as a beautiful act. Mrs. Nc
Kinley was an invalid for nearly ten
years, unable to walk at all. And dur
ing that time, the President left his
desk daily for many times a day to
sit by her bedside and cheer her.
William G. Whitney, ex-Secretary of
the Navy, is another attentive hus-
band. A year ago Mrs. Whitney was
injured while hunting at Aiken, North
Carolina, and for months was para
lyzed She is now a great invalid not
yet being able to stand. During the
last twelve-month Mr.. Whitney has at
tended her faithfully One of his pref
ty acts has been the building of a race
track upon his grounds outside her
window. Here she can lie and look out
at her favorite sport. Mr.. Whitney
| reads to his wife every day and tells
her all the incidents of the day.
Another man who is very good to
| his wife is old John Sherman, who, an
invalid himself from old age, is one Of
| the most devoted of lovers Mrs.
Sherman has been an invalid ever since
her stroke of paralysis in the Spring,
but in all those tiresome months the
ex-Secretary has been cheerful and
| thoughtful. He prepares her food with
| his own hands, arranging a plate to
tempt the invalids appetite.
It Is said that the late William E.
| Gladstone was not fond of a sick room,
and his wife, knowing it, kept her i'll
nesses from him as much as possible
Bismarck, on the other hand, loved
| to coddle his wife, and actually rejoiced
| in a tender way when he could show
his devotion to her. He sent her the
most delicate Spring blossoms and
wrote: II can imagine how these will
cure your aches"

BEAUTIFUL BUTTONS.

The diversity and extravaganza of
the buttons worn this season illustrate
one development of fashion not alto
gether a revival of old time styles.
Buttons We're used for ornament in the
fourteenth century, but nothing like
the present variety was ever known be-
fore. Coral buttons are perhaps the
latest novelty, and are charming on a
black velvet gown. Then there are
cameo buttons and all sorts of imita-
ton gems set with rhinestones, besides
the real article in which few women
can indulge.

A man who was walking along the
banks Of the Lea, in England, recently
learned a new trick of bargemen He
says: "a barge came past, and fast
ened behind was a toy boat about two
feet long. l thought they might be
trying how it sailed, but a little later
another barge came along, also with a
toy boat astern, while, to my great sur
prise a third barge arrived with yet
another toy boat at the end. ] thought
to myself they cannot all be trying to
see how they sail, and so I followed
the barge, and, just as it was turning
from the Lea to enter the Stort, the
bargee hauled the toy boat in, and with
it a spoon bait, which a jack of four
pounds had taken. Under Bylaw IL of

Admiral and Brumby win Make
Visit TO Atlanta October "a.
LATEST OFFICIAL IMPORTATION
fiatter In Brumby's Hands--Lieu-
tenant Caldwell Will Accom-
pany Them South.

A Washington special says: Admiral
Dewey will visit Atlanta, Ga, the
Gath instant Such is his present in
tention, unless some unforeseen de-
mand upon his presence here should
be made in the meantime.
The admiral arrived in Washington
Monday evening, accompanied by
Lieutenant Brumby. The hour of his
arrival was not generally known,
hence there was but little demonstra-
ton over him as he walked briskly out
Of the Pennsylvania railroad depot
and proceeded to his apartments in
the Everett fiat, on H street, between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets.
His apartments are modest, but
comfortably furnished, but there is
no attempt at display or extravaganza
in the interior decorations. The Az
erett is a small apartment house, near
the Metropolitan club, of which he is
q member. Admiral Schley also has
apartments ia the same house.
The admiral declined to receive
visitors Monday night, but made an
exception for two or three personal
friends. Soon after the admiral he
was informed that delegation repre-
senting the city Of Atlanta desired to
confer with him relative to fixing a
date for his visit to that city. He
made an appointment to meet the del
egation Tuesday at IL o'clock
The delegation was composed of
Thomas Egleston, Joseph 4. Orme and
Harvey Johnson. Messrs. Egleston
and Orme were schoolmates with
Lieutenant Brumby, consequently they
encountered but little difficulty in ar
ranging the interview with the admiral
through his trusted flag lieutenant.
Wednesday evening the delegation
entertained Lieutenants Brumby and
Caldwell at dinner in the Shorehan
hotel.
