ruilles of white null around the bot

the bridemaids are to wear large white
null fichus tied in front, with ruilled
ends hanging well down on the skirts.
The large hats the young girls will
wear promise to be very effective. They
will be of white null, with band of

ono very full white null rosette Mt the

delicate shade. In their hands they

of the same shade as the gowns, with
long bows and ends of white null.

Three stylish new costumes are

from Harper's Bazar. This publica-

My mothers love for music was so
great, says Sarah L. Meigs, that she
could sing anything that was called
for, from the old Scotch and English
ballads, through the entire range of
italian opera, down to the modern
German Lied; or play anything, from
Clement to Chopin. All this in any
key, and with an exquisite taste and
enthusiastic enjoyment that was ir-
resistible.
On being asked once how many
pieces she thought she knew, she re-
piled: "About 1000" My father said:

The Juveniles crowded round to
watch the counting, and when the last

Collars are growing higher and
higher. One of the new stocks is Of
white silk, tucked and hemstitched,
and has two wide elephants ears
ends standing up at the back. Others
are cut with points which almost cut
of the unhappy wearer's ears. A
new feature of the silk stock is the
tab.like ends that hang on either side.
These are bead-embroidered, or edged
with lace to match the stock, and they
are not very pretty. Still, they are

THROUGH THE MssHts OF WINTER.

Through the meshes of winter she slipped
IA day
Prom out some radiant south,
She breathed n spell from her ilower-shaped
mouth,
And the round world dreamed OF May.
The birds dreamed softly OF nesting-timc,
The bare earth dreamed Of flowers,
The brooks glad dream wasa merry rhyme,
But the best of the dream was ours.
For the song OF tho wind swept into our
ken,
From tho first pink dawn Il View,
And we dreamed we laughed In the sunshine
then.
When Joy and tho world were new.
But the day passed by on folded wing
And our dream Is ashes of rose.
Till over the threshold of winter SHOWS
She shall smile from the heart OF Spring,

GATHERING up THE FRAGMENTS.

The later returns fully confirm the
overwhelming victory won by the re-
publican party and more completely
emphasize the rebvke of the opposition.
In addition to the unprecedented en-
dorse1nent Of President Mckinley, his
party will completely control both
branches of congress and will have the
courage of national endorsement in
carrying forward policies already in
either the nearly complete or initial
stages of development.
The doubtful states or districts yet to
be heard from do not affect the result
and the country as d whole will not feel
great concern over the outcome, The
advantage which a great victory af-
fords is that it offers no incentive for
doctoring returns, but it does present
a reasonable inducement TO be on the
winning side if the votes warrant it. a
peaceful election will thus be nationally
followed by an orderly and honest sum
ming up of results.

Mr., Bryan meets in this second de-

While the Cuban people are thus
learning their first lessons in American
civilization the United States govern
ment should continue its protectorate,
with no thought of annexation, coloni-
cation or anything but the faithful
performance of its promise, the indie
pendence of Cuba. 1t may take many
years for the Cuban people to learn the
art of sailing a ship of state outside of
land-iocked harbors. but the United
States should firmly refuse to accept
makeshift seamanship and insist upon
a certain degree of competency before
allowing its pupils to venture alone
upon the open sea.

BRYAN's DEFEAT DESERVED.

Little sympathy will be expressed for
Bryan in his LATEST defeat. He de-
served it, and that it IS crushing in its
mighty force as a rebuke only elnpha-
sizes the lesson its conveys. The pub
lie is not called upon to deal with his
defeat That may be above suspicion
1t is only in his public career in this
and previous campaigns that the peo-
pie concern themselves. 1t was the
observation of Lincoln that You can
fool some Of the people all the time

You can not fool all the people all the

Mr.. BryAns defeat is attributable
mainly to this lack of faith in his
financial and economic theories. H
part, too: 1t may be traced to the lack
of confidence in his capacity for the adj
ministration OF practical affairs. Ad-
niration Is not confidence, and esteem
for Mr.. ,Bryan's personal character, for
his purity, honesty and sincerity was
not SUFFICIENT. A man who is admired
