New York florists have one cause for
regret In the present fashions in fIow.
ers. The bouquet has practically pass.
ed out OF use. and only at weddings Is
IL really the style. Women carry flow
ers less than they ever did.
Even the debutante, who, next TO the
bridesmaid. chung longest to the made
up bouquet, has now given IL up. The
greater informally of the afternoon re.
ception nowadays had had the effect OF
diminishing the floral display seen for
merly.
1t is probable that the florists sell rs
many flowers as they ever did, but the
making OF bouquets threatens to be-
come lost art among them. Few
flowers are worn besides violets, and
the skill OF the florist In arranging his
wares Is now chiefly confined to table
decorations.-New York Sun.

Sow bishop whipple's Face I'm
Pressed N Rank OMcfai.

Pressed n Bank O6cfai.
, Not long before lis death Bishop
Whipple related an anecdote which In
creases the mystery attending dreams
ana also shows the confidence which
he inspired through having the face
ana bearing OF a bishop. 1t seems that
Corneiia Whipple. the bishops first
wite, believed In dreams. She was
woman who seldom dreamed, but when
she did the dream invariably came
true. On Sunday morning in Oc-
tober, at Faribault. Mimi. many years
ago. she aroused the bishop aud told
him that her son, who was living In
New Mexico. was dying. She had seen
him in dream, aud there could be no
mistake about IL. She described him
as he lay or a hard bed in miserable
adobe hat and declared that his serious
condition was due to inatteDtion. She
urged the bishop TO proceed without
delay to New Mexico and rescue the
boy who was dying.
He followed directions to the letter
and reached his stepson's side just in
time. The scene was just as Mrs.
Whipple described IT,
1t was apparent that he could not
survive another day in such surround
ings. Bishop Whipple had left In such
hurry that he had neglected to bring
any more money than he needed for
his bare travelling expenses. In his
dilemma he went to the bank and told
his story to the cashier, manly young
Mexican. He needed money to get his
son out of the country. Would the
bank honor draft?
The cashier was impressed with the
bishops recital.
"Any one could tell by looking ut
your face said he. that you were a
bishop of the church of God and that
you speak the truth. l Will be glad to
accommodate you"
The bishop drew on the bank for
$500, and he and the sick man were
soon on their way north. The moth.
er's dream saved the boys life, and
the loan was repaid as soon as the
bishop reached home.
