NEW USES FOR RIBBON.
Dress and Hat OrnamentatiOn
Very AttractiVeIy.

Thirty bright yellow stamens,
branching, aggressive pistil and a
round place for them to grow upon,
and you have the center of the latest
thing in ribbon flowers, reports the
New York Herald
They tried at first making them
wholly out of gathered ribbons, but
that only produced roses in bud form.
Then the ribbon flower bloomed
anew into great, fiaring, bright eyed
beauties, that make the windows of
shops nightly attractive.
Ribbons used to be thought capable
of being worn in just one way-as rib
bons.
Now they have grown into a dozen
uses entirely distinct and apart from
that.
First they were employed as couch"
work on fancy things that women made
and after awhile they even left the
field of sash and tie and became draw
strings" in the underskirts.
Now, in the general outburst in the
use of ribbons, they are no longer knot
ted or bowed or wired into loops for
hat trimmings, but are shirred over
wire loops and form butterflies, from
which depend myriads of tiny bows.
The roses, bulbs and leaves are so
cunningly devised that as they rise
from blue or pink stems they have
quasi-natural appearance, and often
adorn a corsage in lieu of real flowers.
The pink and red and yellow and
white ''single roses" for the hair are
made in satin ribbons, and nestle back
of the ear like those in old-fashioned
miniatures, only these are fadeless.
Rutfies of ribbon are worn, and rib
bon forms insertions in dress goods,
is made into stocks and used as puff
ings on the edges of various useful ar
ticles. 1t is made into carriers and into
numberless articles of fancy work,
among which are ''all piece" sewing
bags, the opera glass cases and eye
glass holders.
Ribbons have been found useful be-
cause they lend themselves to so many
purposes in their natural form. They
have a finished edge when a selvage is
wanted, and they can be twisted into
bow when all other things fail. They
are useful substitutes for aigrettes in
the couture, and nothing so good for
belt has been found. They make the
daintiest of reins for a cotillon, and
the flowers into which they are formed
this year suggest confetti time.

RULES FOR POPULARITY.
Eight Which Every Young Person of
Either Sex Would Do Well
to Follow,

First-Remember that a good voice
is as essential to self-possession as
good ideas are essential to fluent lam
guage. The voice should be carefully
trained and developed A full, clear,
flexible voice is one of the surest in
dications of good breeding, says the
New York World.
Second-Remember that one may be
witty without being popular, voluble
without being agreeable, a great talk
er and yet great bore.
Third-Be sincere. One who habitu-
ally sneers at everything not only rem
ders herself disagreeable to others but
will soon cease to find pleasure in life.
Fourth-Be frank. A frank, open
countenance and a clear, CHEEKY laugh
is worth far more socially than pc
dantry in a stiff cravat."
Fifth-Be anna BILE You NAV hide
vindictive nature under a polite ex-
sharp claws in velvet fur, but the least
provocation brings out one as quickly
as the other, and ill-natured people are
always disliked.
Sixth-Be sensible. Society never
lacks for fools, and what you consider
very entertaining nonsense may soon
be looked upon as very tiresome folly.
Seventh-Be cheerful. If you have
no great trouble in your mind you have
no right-to render other people miser-
able by your long face and dolorous
tones. If you do you will generally be
avoided.
Eighth-Above all, be cordial and
sympathetic. True cordially and SYM
pathy unite all the other qualities emu
merated and are certain to secure the
popularity so dear to every one.

Angered and panied by the words
of the father, the son called for
wine, filed the glass, drank and
drank again.
Years passed. The youth with OPP
portunities and capabilities for good
an angel might have coveted had
grown into a dissipated man. This
ruin the wine cup had wrought.
Deeper and deeper he sank, until his
wretched course so displeased his
father, that the son, to escape his
his early youth and the home that
should have been his rich inherit
ance, and left no trace by which he
could be discovered.
AS the weary months went by and
brought no tidings of the wandered,
the fathers heart relented. The
storm of shame and wrath which his
sons course had reused, died away.
and in its place came a deep and
tender pity for his erring child
Could he but win him back to his
home, father reasoned, he would
strive by gentleness and love to win
him once more into paths of recti-
tude.
At length, the father himself, en-
tered upon the search for his lost
son. A sorrowful search and for a
long time fruitless one. in which
time, strength and treasure were I'M
stintingly given. The lost one was at
length found. But how changed!
Dissipation, want, sorrow and remorse
had made shipwreck of all that was
once noble. In a dwelling which was
the home of vice and infamv. the
heart-brolien father found his son:
found him sick unto death and
among the last words the stricken
parent heard from his pale lips were:

side of Dying Son Who Calls

Harrie Simpson inherited not only
one of the finest estates in one of
the fairest portions of England, but
a name that had long been honored.
An only son, possessed of a good
mind, commanding presence and a
most genial nature, he was the pride
of his parents and a favorite with
all.
A clergyman, who had known him
from childhood, and who was deeply
interested in him, noticed with pain
that the young squire manifested a
growing fondness for the wine cup.
Trusting to the affection, which he
knew the young man entertained for
him, he ventured to demonstrate
with him on the subject. The young
man flushed painfully. Then turn
ing to his friend said: But you
do not really consider me in dan
ger of allowing my appetite to con-
troll me?"
Il do fear this" was gravely an
swered, "and thinking of all the
good that you are capable of; all
the opportunities within your grasp,
and then of your life as a possible
failure, l confess that L am deeply
anxious about you"
The young man sat for few mo-
ments in deep thought, then rising
and giving his hand to the friend
who had so faithfully warned him,
said: 81 thank you, though l do not
feel that | am in any such danger as
you apprehend, and to prove to you
that l can control myself, l promise
from this time to abstain from the
use of wine"
At his fathers table the wine was
passed. The son covered his glass
The unusual act attracted the atten-
ton of the father and he asked an
explanation.
