NOTES OF THE MODES.
Materials for the Summer, sleeve
Models and Other, Seasonab1e
Dress Items.

In the list of linens that are to be so
fashionable this summer are linen
lawns, linen batistes embroidered in
silk, mercerized cotton floss, or linen;
checked and striped linen, linen bou-
rette, linen etamine, voile, basket
woven, boncled, moired and in printed
Aoral effects in natural colorings, re-
ports the New York Post.
The Priscilla sleeve is a new model
often used on tea gowns, princesse
dresses, coffee jackets and negliges Of
every description. The sleeve fits the
arm closely to the elbow, but there is
slight fullness at the shoulder which
is adjusted by gathers. At the elbow
a lace-bordered piece is attached. like
the half of large handkerchief. This
is about four inches wide at the inner
bend of the arm, but curves down to
any depth desired on the outside. This
flowing portion is plated or shirred to
the close upper sleeve, and is unlined.
Filmy or pliable fabrics like India
null, batiste chiffon, grenadine, or
China silk, make up effectively in gar
ments that are finished with this pic
turesque style of sleeve.
The silk-and-wool mixtures in new
designs and color blendings are finding
a very large sale this season; and as
they appear in extra widths they are
especially desirable for either box
plated or shirred gowns. Silk-and-,
wool textiles with slightly creped
surface like crepe de chine are very
fashionable, and while we see the same
silk warp voiles, Examines, canvas
weaves, and mohairs that were worn
with such satisfaction during the au-
tumn and winter seasons, there are
newer patterns, with much looser
mesh and consequently lighter in
weight.
Wool delaines, yelling and French
challies are prominent this season.
The plain sheer surface is figured with
natural-colored floral effects, or with
small, self-colored spots; and some of
the patterns have white silk or satin
stripe on a smooth, delicate surface,
both stripe and plain portion thickly
sprinkled with small black dots or tiny
flowers. There are also holder pat
terms of full-blown roses and foliage,
violets, fuchsias, trailing vines inter-
twined with knots of ribbon, ETC. The
satin stripe running vertically through
the semi-transparent wool enhances
the attraction of the material, which
looks quite as light and airy as mus
lin, is much more durable, protective
and hardly more expensive.

and set blazing hot iron on the paper

compressed wood layers, though it
may play hob with the varnish. Re-
peat the steaming until there is an
even surface. Then sandpaper the
place, rub off well with alcohol or naph-
tina, and revarnish. For a rubbed
place, sandpaper it smooth, then swab
lightly with paraffine oil, and after
ward with little dry color, the same

clean swab, and repeat the oil rubbing

THE NIGHT EXPRESS.

the river shore,
The night express-train whistles with eye
Of fire before.

rising moon
That gilds the signing poplars and floods

through yellow fields of harvest and waV-
ing fields of corn
The night express-train rumbles with
whistle low and lorn.

knows so WELL
And boys wait on the siding to hear the
engine bell
While lads who used to 1oiter with visit
full steps and slow,
Await tonight a comrade who comes.
but will not go.
Ire train that brings to mothers the news
OF sons who roam
Shoots red from out the marshes to bring
a wanderer home.
With restless heart of boyhood we
watched that headlight when
The whistle seemed to call us to dare the
world of men;
To leave the pillow and herd-whip for lads
with hearts of clay,
And while our blood was leaping be up
and far away;
To find the great world somewhere, to
wander wide and see
men than we.
We heard the hoarse throat whistle, we
heard the engine bell,
We saw the red eye blazing, we knew the
hot heart well,
But little could we reckon, gay-hearted
boys at play,
The horse that took us out to men would
bring US home one day.
That took US out at morning, with shin
ing wheels ahum
Would bring US home at evening, when
we are glad to come.
All! let my fight be fiercer, the little time
before
They bring me still and weary along the
river shore.
Then may the wheels turn swiftly be-
hind the eye of fire,
And may the bell ring gayly that brings
me my desire.
The boys used to watch with will all be
there to see,
When come home to rest me in the
ground that nurtured me-
To earth I digged in boyhood, through
fields l used to keep,
The lads who wrought beside me shall
bear me home to sleep.
From out the mist-clad marshes, along
the river Shore
With trail of smoke behind me and eve
of fire before;
And youths will watch with burning to
seek the world of men,
And thrill to hear the whistle that brings
me home again.

CHAPTER III.

L plodded steadily on towards the
town. AS l neared the village I saw
carriage approaching me. AS it
passed perceived that it held two oc-
cupants that l well knew They
were Miss Elizabeth and Miss Evelyn
from the Hall, or, rather, they used
to be from the Hall and would now
be again. They were in deep black,
and were evidently on their way to
the old Darlington place, where their
brother had died. It seemed strange
that had almost forgotten all about
the sensation of the hour because of
my own troubles. The truth is, /
had been thinking very deeply of the
ladies when Miss Dacres came up to
the gate the day before, and 1 had al
so been thinking very deeply of my
own affairs. I really had not known
where to turn until L found that I
could let the rooms, and the com
pletion of my arrangements had put
everything else out of my mind. It
seemed strange too that / should
have been so forgetful of all that
happened at the Hall. l had been so
at home there, in days gone by, as
governess to Mr.. Eugene's little girl
and as friend to the older ladies.
that I felt the death of the Squire
very much, but Poverty is master
who drives away our tenderest
thoughts, taking possession with
his grim presence of the place which
harbored them, and 1 was all at
once aware that my anxiety as to
how / was to get our bread and but

full of my duty. These thoughts
flashed rapidly through my mind as
I went onward, and then I heard the

the other.

GLADLY" said I, as took the place
into which Miss Evelyn, being the
younger, pushed me, on the back seat
beside her sister. I sighed as l.
thought of the lock unpicked and the
boarder's dinner to get, but I could
do nothing but go with them. These
dear ladies had been my friends
when I most needed friends, and when
the Judge married me, though he was
no judge then, they gave me my we'd

their brother had quarrelled about
his changing his religion, and they
left the Hall for home of their own.

always gave me a pleasant enough
bow when passed him on the road.
The ladies had now come from their
home at Springborough, called hither
by kilograms, no doubt, and I could
see that, having heard the news only
yesterday, they could not have ar
rived before.

is made by boiling green peas and new
potatoes together. Boil the peas for
20 minutes, then add the potatoes,
which should be small; put in tea

A. PIMA KAHIrNA

HILO, January 22-It is reported that
a kahuna is at work among the natives
of Puma and that he has by the arti-
hces and tricks of an old trade in
these islands, preyed upon the be-
lieving natives of that vicinity to
the sum of several hundred dollars
This kahuna, so 1t is reported, mixes
modern quackery with the mysteries
of an Ancient Hawaiian institution.
He claims to be licensed by the Board
of Health and performs his cures by
the laying on of hands. 1t is reported
that he treats consumption with an al
together new method. 1t a severe
case, he said that the lungs had all
disappeared except one small piece
which is suspended by a string which
permits it to swing like a pendulum in
the chest. If this string stretches and
permits this remnant of lung to touch
the liver, death would instantly result.
The kahuna had some powerful herbs
which If taken would shorten the string
thus insuring the life of the patient.
The kahuna is liberal according to re-
ports, making no charges but taking
Whatever his thankful patients are
willing to give.-Hilo Tribune.
