And all the beauty there.
You know not how her lips would speak
To others, or to you;
You only know that all she says
Is certain to be true.

any other colors." Possibly the Pope
prescribed white Because it is the sym

black because it is the time honored
hue of dress for outdoor wear for Spain
and Italy.-Pall Mall Gazette.

yesterday 1.-THE fashion, which began
with cheap limitations, has extended to
the finest laces. and now all styles are
shown in the rarest and standard kinds.
For several seasons dealers have been
trying to obtain them, but not until
now have they been able to display full
assortments. This is largely due to the
fact that handmade lace takes time. -
All the modish lace effects in collars.
