Lace Hosiery,
We avedeeided that lace gloves are
not i~ntolerable, and We are now to
have lace stockings. not lace fronts,
but hose that are entirely made Of
lace. No doubt they are becoming to
the skin, but what seems more i'm
portant, they are decidedly expensive;
the only part that is substantial is un-
der the feet silk m~ouSseline stock
ings have also been brought in, hand
sOmely embroidered. / saw a swell
youth, who, at one time, lived here,
now OF St. Louis, not long since with
a pair Of white lace s0ckS0n, for which
he paid s., now, that same fellow wore
them once only, for fear they would
get soiled and would not launder.

Lovers Lane.
Usually one lane is enough for most.
lovers. We have quite as many lanes
as are needed, one for each pair Of
turtle doves. Our drives around our
beautiful city are many and quite
lovely. The one called the Lakeland
Belt" is n OF the most popular; it is.
a level stretch Of about ten miles,
that is the drive south Of town.
The one east by Mr.. Jos. Maxwell's is
a lovely stretch Of prairie, four miles
east OF there, then several miles to
the north, turning west you come
into town by Powell's Ford. Or,
start from Jefferson street north, to.
Governor Hardin's place, then turn
southwest, then on south. This is a
billy, woody drive and birds add their
sweet song. Contentment is sure to.

past the cemetery, has very steep.

other flowers, the names Of which /

There are other beautiful lanes, Of
