that Mr. Soandso, out of the kindness OF

the milk of human Kindness, which its au-

Poets who might have sung their couu-

have depicted the secrets OF the human
heart, and publicists who might have
aroused the dormant powers of the people
have all been kept from the tangible
fruits which public recognition brings to
the genius, and even to the writer OF only
ordinary ability. There is no more sensi-
tive being than the untledged writer, and
the cold-blooded business-like character
of the editor has nipped the ambition of
many promising litterateur in the bud.

VIENNA, Jan est is evident that the

appertains to fashion-for blue in all
shades, from the palest .'ciel" to darkest
navy, the royal, cornflower. and pastel
shades, as well as the green tinted "tur-
quoise" and peacock is evident in every
creation in the dressmak.ng and millinery
field. AS regards fabrics for street wear,
there will be prevalence OF soft wooden
stuffs, yoiles, and wool grenadines and
poplins, while silks will be the principal
constituents of all fashionable soiree
gowns. All materials, whether silk wool.
or even cotton. must possess the quality
of draping easily and giving that soft.
clinging effect which stamps the STYLES of
the day as the most artistic that fashion
has favored her followers with for many
years.
Taffeta has lost none of its prestige
though il may have changed its aspect,
for the stiff, rustling stuff which We have
called by that name for several wears is
hardly to be recognized in the soft light

which has met with extraordinary success
shows the attractive use made OF taneta.

young lady and will prove equally use

promenade wear during the heated term.
