Fashions in Flowers.
Correct Blossoms to lie Worn by
Women During Lent.

Correct Blossoms to lie Worn by
Women During Lent.
Now that florists have so regulated
the matter that flowers do not have
any particular time to bloom fashion
and not nature DEGREES what blossoms
shall be popular at different seasons.
In Lent violets again become favor
ties, although they were but little used
during the winter. They are consider
ed particularly appropriate for the pen
itential season and are extensively
used for decoration for Lenten teas.
They are the only flower that it is
considered smart" just now TO wear
ON the street, having displaced the
costly orchids that were fashions IA
vOrites during the Christmas season,
says the New York World. The big
Neapolitan violets are considered good
form.
With the approach of Easter a clus
ter of lilies of the valley may adorn
the corsage, but no roses or carnations.
To wear flower at the wrong season
proclaims you one of the unfashiona-
bles just as much as an out Of date
gown or n last years bonnet For
boutonnieres a cluster of lilies Of the
valley or white rose is correct, but
no colors during Lent. Many well
dressed men confine themselves to
white all the year around, but vary
the flowers used. \ single white or
! child is proper ut all times. Orchid
wearing is distinctly an English fad.
| Joe Chamberlain's constant wearing
! of orchid boutonnieres is famous.
Sometimes corsage bouquets of vio-
lets are tied with purple silk cord with
tassels, but ribbon is no longer used.
! 1t is considered better form TO tuck
the stems in and for them to have no
visible signs of being fastened to the
waist. With the advent of the spring
ii will be a fad to wear a cluster of
the same blossoms that are used in the
hat. These will be tucked into the belt
a little on the left side. No long stems
must be used. Even roses must be
massed close together in a crush eff
feet and made to simulate a great
"chOu" of flowers.
Some women in the smart set adopt
one flower and never wear any other
but this is always either orchids OF
purple or white violets. Then they use
the same perfume, sachets of that odol
and soap.

Aching Void In kentucky.

Here is Col. Watterson's aspiration:
oh, for a man If we had just one of
the brood that made Kentucky great and
strong in days when the word of a Ken
tuckian passed current round the world;
when to the ends of the earth the fame of
Kentucky was Synonymous with good
faith and perfect courage; stout of heart
and sweet and clear of voice; truth SWELL
ing in his heart, the light of heaven shin
ing in his eyes some brave, unseltsh soul,
scorning the bribery of office, disdaining
the offal the politicians have to give for
truculent service; some Clay, with magic
tongue and witching presence, to subdue
the minds of men to the wisdom of his
counsels; some Hardin, cleaVing all before
him with homely kitchen knife whetted to
a sclmitar, potential as the sword of the
Lord and Gideon; some Breckenridge,
with the mien and port of a god, the very
look of whom swept the assembled legions
of Democracy into sea of enthusiasm and
gave assurance that Kentucky, first born
of the Mother of Presidents, was still a
leader of states, yet the breeder of leaders
of men!

Peculiar Burglary at wes,mor.Iand.

Frank Wizards house was burglarized
Sunday afternoon between 80 and 80
o'clock, while the family were all absent
from home. Entrance was gained by the
bulkhead, then through the trap door into
the kitchen. The house was thoroughly
ransacked bureau drawers being pulled
open and the contents scattered about in
great disorder. The silver was handled
over, but so far as Mr.. Willard can discov-
err, nothing was taken from the house.
Part of a watermelon was eaten by the
prowler, and jar of molasses was carried
out of doors and left in the yard. Wheth-
er money was the object of the visit can
only be surmised. So far no arrest has
been made, though the officers have pref
ty strong suspicion as to who did the job.

Two Factions on the Liquor Question at
CharlSstown.

The people of Charlestown are greatly
agitated and divided into two factions over
the liquor traffic. Liquor has been sold
more or less openly in town for years, but
during the past few weeks there have been
many endorsements of the law, resulting
in fines for the sellers. The recent raids
have been made under the direction of the
chairman of the board of selectmen. The
other two members of the board are not in
accord with the chairman, and they have
secured the removal from office of the con-
stable and special police officer who made
the raids and maintained order July 3
Some of the people who are in favor of
having liquor sold are also opposed to the
selectman who has insisted on doing his
duty. The police officers were hung in
effigy over central Main street Friday
morning. The public feeling in the matter
is said to affect social, political and bust
ness relations.
