AUNT REBECCA's EASTER BONNET
The story of a Grand Excitement in
Grafton Center Village.

Inc story Oh n UrAn0 tXcitemenI
Grafton Center Village.
The natives in the village of Grafton
Center, on the first day of April, had
been startled suddenly and tremendously.
Men standing on the steps Of the post
office and grocery were grouped together
trying to express their individual opin-
ions, while bareheaded women hurriedly
crossed the road 20 ask their neighbors:
did you see Uncle David running
through the village like mad?" and
what do you suppose has happened2'
Some said: Aunt Rebecca must be
sick again; her old rheumatism perhaps
has gone to her heart"-as It sometimes
does with elderly people Others suggest
ed that: They may have had sad news
from their son in the Philippines, or per-
haps their nephew. Jim, who went to
the Klondike, had been found frozen to
death somewhere"
The greatest excitement prevailed.
There were twenty-five heads in the shirt
shops window waiting for the news.
Such anxiety had not been manifested
before in Grafton Center since the as
sassination OF President Garfield
That David Smith, an old resident OF
the town and their most respected citi-
zen. who was such a kind. easy going
an inexcitable man, yet always brave and
ready for any serious emergency. should
be seen 10 come out OF his house at one
end OF the village running like race

body to mix Il with the nearly cold water
into which she plunges twice a day. She
uses a soap prepared in England and
scented with while heliothrope.
AS a matter of fact, in the question of
perfumes as in many others, the ladies
who can easily afford 10 secure the best
care least for them. Alone the empress
of Russia is a great lover of scents, but
she has no particular favorite and tries
all the bottles that are sent for her APP
probation. She is faithful to one kind of
soap only, which is scented " la peau
d'Espa gne." In her bath she likes Law
ender water.
The empress of Germany is faithful to
new mown hay" which is prepared for
herself alone in a special manner under
the form of scent, soap and toilet water.
She is exceedingly jealous about it and
frowns when a lady who approaches her
august person brings with her the odor
of new mown hay" She even sulks
when her husband, who loves to NEEDLE
in everything, and often goes rummaging
in her dressing-room, dares, with his US
Vsal sans-gene, to sprinkle his handker-
chief or his uniform with soma of her
scent.
Queen Margherita of Italy only uses
perfumes made with Italian flowers, and
especially those OF Sicily. The soap made
in Palermo is not to be bought out of
Italy, but it is perfect, and now many
English ladies smuggle a good many
cakes Of this delightful article into Eng
land. The young queen of Italy is very
mysterious about the perfume she uses,
which. they say, is prepared by the prin-
cely hands of Milena of Montenegro
Poor Empress Frederic Of Germany loves

Comparatively few women study the
back view of their toilets with the same
attention to detail that they bestow upon
the 'front.'" remarked Nine. X, the we'll
known dressmaker. 81 do not believe that
one woman in fifty, after she has dressed
with the greatest care and elaboration,
studying the effect of every look of her
hair, every fold of her stock, the set of
her veil and all the other infinitesimal
but important numbers of small things
that go 20 make up a becoming toilet,
ever takes hand glass and looks criti-
cally at her back and sides. They are
like children who dress paper dolls, be-
slowing no end of care and taste on the
front, but leaving the back to it's fate.
Fortunately for them, dressmakers con-
slider the back of a gown quite as care
fully as the front, and it is owing to
their perception of the fact that it will
be equally seen on all sides that It's own
er is fit to be seen. l am continually
preaching to my customers about their
Indifference to their backs, and l beg of
them to make it a rule never to leave
their rooms without taking a hand glass
and carefully looking at themselves on all
