The Advance Fashions

for summer show that there are to be
some lovely silk musins with punches
o. flowers and sprays of vines and buds
worn. All transparent materials will be
made up over silk skirts 1t will be the
height of fashion this summer to have
your shirt-waist and skirt made of the
same material.
The smarter shirt-waist will be made
tucked back and front from the ne TX
down, aud the tucks will be rather wide
than otherwise. The yoked shirt-waists
have gone out of fashion, in a measure,
and the great tendency is to make the
waist line as long as possible in front.
Some of the most ''swagger" summer
and spring -uits will be made of white
pique and duck with hair-lined stripes
of blue, pink, black, yellow, etc. Tuck
ed China silk shirt-waists of all the new
colors will be much worn. They will
be made with the collars, bows and belts
of the same material and color.-March

Spring Styles.

Almost all the new spring stuffs are Of
a soft clinglng quality, which makes
them adaptable to the present style of
gown. A slightly heavy material, very
much handsomer and more expensive, is
the summer panne velvet. 1t comes in
all the newest shades, and will be much
used for handsome street costumes. 1t
is such beautiful stuff in itself that it
requires no trimming of any kind except,
perhaps, bit of lace at the neck of the
bodice.
Ve.v,s will be much used for trim
ming, particularly the thinner qualities.
A most curious combination is Il mix
ture of cotton and silk and is called silk
pique. 1t has heavy cord, just as in
the cotton pique, and makes the lowell

and waist with heavy embroidery.

Testing Newspaper Advertising.

Frank Daniels, popular New York
comedian, made an experiment recently
at Wallace's Theater in that city, to test
the value of different modes of advertis-
ing. He says: Between the acts the
ushers distributed among the audience
slips with a brief printed statement
politely asking the recipient to indicate
by check mark in the list of variou,
advertising forms employed which one
had attracted him to the performance
newspapers, bill boards, window litho-
craps or something else. The people
seemed to take kindly to the idea and
the responses were most liberal. Eleven
hundred slips were handed to the ushers
and of that number 99l had been at
tracted by the newspapers solely.

IN TIE oIlI322 OF DEATH

And said "She is deadr' could not
brook,
Again on that marvellous face to look.
But they took my hand and led me in,
And left me alone with my nearest kin.
Once again alone in that silent place
My beautiful dead and [, face TO face,
And could not speak, and | could not
stir;
But stood, and with love looked on her
With love, and with rapture, and strange
surprise,
l looked on the lips and the close shut
On the perfect rest, and the calm con
tent,
And the happiness there in her features
blent
And the thin white hands that had
wrought so much,
Now nerveiess to kisses or fevered touch;
My beautiful dead who had known the
strife
The pain and the sorrow that we call
Who had never faltered beneath her
cross,
Nor murmured when loss followed quick
upon loss.
And the smile that sweetened her lips
Away,
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day.
| smoothed from her hair silver thread,
And | wept, but | could not think her
dead.
| felt with wonder too deep for speech,
She could tell what only the angels
teach.
And over the mouth leaned my ear,
Lest there might be something | could
not hear.
Then out from the silence there gently
stole
A message that reached to my inmost
soul.
"Why weep you, to-day, who so long
have known
That the road was rough | MIST walk
alone?
Why weep that my lips can answer not
When pain and anguish are all forgotl
Behold, ali my life | have longed fo1
rest;
Yea! cen when I held you upon my
breast
And now when lie in breathless sleep
Instead of rejoicing, you sigh and weep
My dearest | know that you would not
break,
If you could, the slumber l sweetly take
For, though life was peaceful aud kind
ly blest,
l have never, till now, known perfect
rest -
Then l dried my tears, and with noise
less tread,
| left my mother-my beautiful dead!

LOVING.

Uuless you can think when the song is
done,
No other is sweet in the rhythm;
Unless you can feel, when left by one,
That all men else go with him:
Unless you can know when unpraised by
his breath
That your beauty itself wants prov
ing:
Unless you can swear-"For life, for
DEATH
Oh, fear to call it loving!
Unless you can muse in a crowd all day
On the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love as the angels may,
With the breath of heaven betwixt
you;

Early Spring Fashions.

Fashions for the coming season
promise to be most attractive, and, bet
ter still, more becoming to the majority
of women than they have been for long
time. For street wear the tailor-made
suit with short CO at or Elton jacket will
reign supreme. lnese are to be made
either with single or double breasted
fronts There are very many styles,
however. both of the t;ght-fitting va
riety and some that are suggestive of the
blouse effect, which, in themselves,
have characteristic features that will
undoubtedly result in their being very
popular.

of William Goebel, late democratic
contestant for the governorship Of
Kentucky, was late yesterday after
noon taken from the chapel of the
Frankfort cemetery, where II has been
under guard for over a month, and
just as as the sun was sinking behind

the grave. The ceremonies attendant
on the burial were exceedingly simple.
Before the removal of the body from

relatives and few intimate friends
allowed to take a last look at the fea-
lures, which even after month
