BETTER THAN "ABOUT RIGHT"
Lesson Taught Thomas King, the Lecturer, by s Lank Yankee
 of New England.

Thomas Starr King, the famous preacher and lecturer, was settled in california at the outbreak of the cival war, and to his influence is ascriped the change of public opin- lon m that state from lukewarmness toward the northern cause to devoted loyalty. The Overland Monthly has lately published an article on this famous man from which we take an anecdote told about Mr. King by James T. Fields:
 Mir. King, with friend was mak- ing trip through the White noun tains. They were travelling by that most delightful of conveyances country wagon. When they stopped few minutes at the door of a New Hampshire tavern, Mir. Kings com panion went in to replenish their pro vision basket, and he remained in the vehicle.
 One of the tall lank, siab-sided Yankees that are always hanging round a New England inn door slouched up to the team and began altering the harness, slackening strap here and Tightening buckle there, all un- asked, until Mr. King got impatient at the length of the operation, and said. rgther sharply:
 You needn't trouble yourself any more. l think that harness is about right"
 The Yankee finished his work and drawled out: Guess rights better'n abeaout right"
 There was no reply to this. Mir. Kings friend returned, and he drove otl, confessing to lesson which he needed to learn less than most of his countrymen: Right" is better than about right"

CHATTER ON 'KERCHIEFS.

The sleeve handkerchief is nine inches square, and is designed to put in the sleeve at the wrist.
 Handkerchiefse embroidered iD colors are among the seasons novelties. They are made of the sheerest linen, with narrow hem-stitched borders, and the designs embroidered in the four corners.
 Mourning handkerchiefs are among the prettiest designs this season. Few have deep black borders. They are generally hem-stitched, and are all white except for a spray of hand-em- brOidered daisies or other flowers in one corner entwined in few irregular black bars.
 The golf handkerchief is in the mar ket. It is made of silk and linen material, is corded, and is barred with delicate colors. In some the bars cover the whole handkerchief, in others they simply make a border. They are pret- ty, cool-looking affairs, and most ap- propriate for the links"
 COlored handkerchiefs are popular, especially the new French print. They are made with hem-stitched borders and designs that almost cover the handkerchief, in pink, blue and layen- der. Thistles, daisies, holly and clover are the designs. These handkerchiefs were made to use with gingham morn ing dresses and cotton shirt-waist suits.
 The glove handkerchief-tha is the latest novelty in handkerchiefs. It is dainty little affair, and really a most desirable acquisition to the toilet. IL IS supposed to take the place of the or dinary handkerchief when that arti- cle becomes nuisance because there IS no convenient place to put it. It is so small and the material so sheer that IL can be stuck in the glove without be- Ing clumsy or in the way.
