The Season,s Fashions.

The collarless jacket cut a trifle low
in the neck is the mode. The blouse is
still with us. The long, three quarter
length Russian blouse coat is good
style, as is also the short blouse which
ends with belt at the waist-line. But
to emphasize the fact that variety rules
there are Eton jackets equally fashion
able which are short enough to show
the waist-line all the way around, ex-
cept in the front, where they are made
with long stole ends.
Sleeves continue to display their full
ness below the elbow, and are much
trimmed. Cuffs are more fanciful than
ever. and tab effects in cloth, velvet
and silk are frequently introduced not
only as trimming for jackets, but for
skirts.
II Is to be a season Of trimmings
Pendant ideas are among the newest
fancies. Tassels, silk braids, and pas
sementeries with little drops dangling
from them. are considered modish.
A very new idea in planning an elab-
crate gown of sheer, soft material Is to
trim 1t with bands of transparent voile
or even mousseline. decorated with a
design worked out in very narrow silk
braid. A gown Of this sort is made
over changeable taffeta lining, and
. very pretty effect is obtained by the
1rridescent effect Of the silk showing
through the transparent bands.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

1t was swift game of base ball
that played between the Palatka
Chums and the local club last Satur-
day at the golf grounds on Crescent
Hill. The game was completed in
exactly 40 minutes. Its closeness
made it deeply interesting to spec
tatOrs. The home team secured two
runs early in the game and MAIN
tanned the lead to the finish, the
score standing 2 to |, in favor of
Crescent City. At one time it looked
dark for the home players. Palatka
had three men on bases and none
out. That they did not score is due
to the swift pitching of Carrier and
the perfect back stopping of catcher
Miller. The battery of the home
team was as nearly perfect as is Of
ten seen in non-professional nine.
Henry Hutchinson covered first
base superbly. All the other boys
did we'll
The Palatka boys are the better
players. They average better and
show the result of team practice.
That they were defeated is due
largely to over-confidence, inability
to hit Carriers pitching, and a dis
position to play unfairly. The nine
has a bright future in the amateur
field.
The visiting nine and their friends,
some 50 odd in number, arrived on
the launch Mystery at lO:3O. The
visiting players were entertained at
dinner by the local club at Grove
Hall.
The playing was good natured
throughout and good feeling pre-
vailed after the game was finished,
though there was more or less OF
tioshing,"

BY Way of AdmOnition.

One definition of charity is that it
suffers long and is kind. Crescent
City people are long suffering. They
are kind. Therefore, in a sense,
charitable. If this hadn't been the
case they would probably have risen
in their indignation and kicked the
tar out of a certain bag of entrails
and bluster that came into the town
not long since, spat profanity and
fishmonger English right and left and
succeeded without special effort in
establishing his claim to being the
only real-thing hog for which our
recent town ordinance makes no pro-
vision. This old brute was not con-
tent to curse good male citizens whose
word has been a bond in honesty for
twenty-five years of continuous resi-
dence, but his threats and vile Ian
guage were directed at a woman. He
got out of town before this was gen.
orally known, else this story, which
is intended as extra gentle admoni-
tion, would not have started with
partial definition of charity.
We can heXcuse a man who puts
his HIS to soak in bad whisky, but
when he goes to raising ell and call
ing people scoundrels whom we all
have known as honest neighbors for
5years, and then prances in threat
ening attitude toward a woman,
shooting billingsgate and profanity
at every prance, the charity worm
may turn over and bite. The bite has
sting.
We have laws in Florida designed
especially for such folk, but law is
sometimes regarded as too cumber-
som by certain well-intentiOned peo-
pie and they forget to use it. They
wanta punishment that fits the crime
and they want it right speedily.
There is always room and an hon
est welcome in Crescent City for gen.
tlemen, whether rich or poor. 1t is
a sort of open door town where all
sorts and conditions Of men may
come and find rest and happiness and
good fellowship so long as they OBJ
serve ordinary decency. We are cos
mOpolitan and encourage all Ian
guages but the profane. Even that
is permitted when used guardedly by
some people. 1t is not allowed in the
presence of our women, no, not even
when diluted with bowery bluster
and fishmonger English.
1t is just possible enough has been
said by way of admonition.

(This is q part of one of the most
quoted poems of Mr.. Kipling. 1t is
one of many in the volume called
"The Seven Seas" published by d.
Appleton d Coz
When earth's last picture is painted,
And the tubes are twisted and
dried,
When the oldest colors have faded,
And the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest-and, faith, we shall
need it
Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the master of all good workmen
Shall set us to work anew.
And those that were good shall be
happy;
They shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at ten league
canvas
With brushes of comets hair.
They shall find real saints to draw
Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at sit
ting,
And never get tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise us,
And only the Master shall blame
And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall work for fame ;
But each for the joy of the working,
And each in his separate star
Shall draw the thing as he sees it
For the God of things as they are.

Geo. H. Libby of Portland, Maine,
who, with Mrs. Libby, has been the
guest for several weeks of Mrs. F. S..
Crotty, has purchased the lake front
block of M. H. Read, next south of
M. H. Whites. This is one of the
most beautiful and slightly properties
in the town, lying on the side hill
with a graceful slope to the lake and
commanding a fine view of the lake
in all directions and with the island
directly in front. In the days before
the freeze, and before the fire which
destroyed Mr.. Reads beautiful home,
this place was known as Island View
Grove. 1t was originally laid out by
Mr.. Willis.
1t is understood to be the purpose
of Mr.. Libby, the new owner, to re-
turn to Crescent City in the fall and
built n handsome home.
Mr.. Libby is a veteran of the civil
war, who lost his arm in the fight at
Port Hudson. For many years
past he has been the city treasurer
of Portland, Maine. He owns a
home in Portland and also a hand
some summer residence at Diamond
Island in CascO Bay, two miles from
Portland.
The people of Crescent City will
extend the glad hand of both Mr.
and Mrs. Libby and give them hearty
welcome to our town.

a dull place in which to live even in

There is one enemy for which the
pansy lover must watch like lynx,
and that is q little green worm that
seems made on purpose to devour pan
sizes. Where he comes from or why he
should exist at all is mystery. But
If you find your little plants stop grow
ing and see the leaves perforated with
small holes and your blossoms gnawed
behold, your enemy is there. Eternal
vigilance alone will save you. Your
face must be brought to the surface of
the ground. Kneel and turn up every
leaf. Doubtless you will find the small
green monster curled up and hiding,
sucking out all the juices Of the plant
and so becoming exactly its color,
which makes him so difficult to find,
and If not checked he will utterly de-
stroy it. He will devour it in a few
days.

A boy is an odd piece Of furniture,
but he is the ground and chief ingre-
dent of the man. Delude not yourself
with the belief that the boy is not all
he pretends to be, for he Is a great deal
more. He is an incomprehensible fel-
low to any one but another boy, and
because he will presently grow into
the awkward between hay and grass
period that separates boyhood from
manhood, and to a numbering idiot
then, don't signify that he is an idiot
now. He never is. But his chrysalis
state fetters him and makes him seem
like one sometimes.
