and we are to have less
tucks and furbeloWs, or, in other
words, not SO many stitches will be
needed in frocks of the future, but
trimmings, in the way of appliques,
velvet facings and inlets, silk gafni-
lures, etc., will be in vogue.
Passementerie is to be much worn,
especially IN the smart bolero coats
which will be favored this spring,
while silk cords and tassels adorn al
most every outdoor garment.
The shoulder cape gains favor, and
many of the latest bolero coats show
a cape of some sort, and it is said they
will take an important part this sea-
son. In consequence of this, deep lace,
as well as applique collars, are pre-
pared to droop well over the shoulders.
Some of the new boleros reach near
ly to the waist, and are left detached
like a short sacque coat, some having
plaits, others being plain; and as to
the neck finish, it is a matter of choice,
for there are small turnover collars,
wide-shaped, cape-like collars, or no
collars at all.
It is an interesting fact that sleeves
will be much smaller and palmer, yet
the bishop or banded shape will hold
its WI for a long time to come, and
be arranged into all sorts of fanciful

Notes Of the New Spring Modes

Blouses are as much worn as ever,
and as to variety, there never were
more charming models shown. Some
are tucked, plated, or plain, with or
without Jokes; others with pl%astrons;
others with shaped trimmings in APP
plique designs; while many have loose
or short jacket fronts, which certainly
afford a change, although they do not
suit all figures.

thoroughly well-cut gored skirts will

England stands in the unenviable
position of being almost the only ma
ton that has a drunken womanhood.
Woman has been specially associated
hitherto in England with the sale of
i~ntoxicants, and the fact that her
presence is to be found in every
drink-shop has caused the safe
guards that surround her in other
countries to be set aside; but the
hour has come when more people
have begun to think, and it is to this
arrest of thought hat I believe we
owe the legislation that has been
granted during the last few years.
Some time ago, short penal SEN
fences were the only means by which
habitual drunkenness was dealt with.
1t was looked upon wholly as a
moral crime, and men had ceased to
remember that from a moral crime
it passed into a physical failing, that
the habitual drunkard was utterly
unable to resist the craving he had
created when he came face to face
with temptation, and that conse-
quently when the term of imprison-
ment was over, the wretched inebri-
ate went back to his former life as
certainly as he was turned once more
upon the world.
1t was in order to meet this great
evil that the Farm Colony at Dux-
hurst was started, but since that day,
now nearly eight years. ago, the eyes
of many have been opened. The ha-
