The Millinery for Spring.

While the spring styles are still somewhat un-
certain there are some permanent features, and
attractive models in lace and tullc are shown for
drcssy wear, and for the first spring days or for
those who live in a Southern cline there are smart
walking or street hats of straw braids. These
straw models arc almost severe in their simplicity
and are shown in a variety of shapes. The tur-
ban, In rather small, close-ftting form, is especial-
~ approved: while the tricornc or Continental,
also in small effect. is another fashionable shape.

FLOWERS IN WASTE PLACES.
Unattraetive Spots Made Beautiful by Casting a Few
Seeds.

You can grow flowers anywhere, if you only
know the proper kind for each location, says
Country Life in America. There is no portion of
the earth s surface that cannot be covered by some
kind of plant growth, nor a situation so desperate
that it could not be redeemed with the life and
cheer and color that flowers give. You have only
to select the right variety of seed and you will
find that there is no clay too tough, no sand too
hot and dry, no rocks too devoid of soil, no win
ter too severe. If you have a swamp and are
afraid of it. you can transform it into a water
lily pond or a bog garden. If you own a bit of
woods you can fill it with wild-fowers. In the
heart of the biggest city q ten-inch hole can be
made in the pavement, as they do in Boston, to
cover the wall Of the house with vines. The slums
have their window-boxcs, and houscleeks grow
upon the shingles of a roof. Even the dump-heap
that you pass daily need not be an eyesore. Put
a package of sunflowcr, poppy or morning-glory
seed in your pocket, and scatter the seed over tho
offending spot. And of all the people who enjoy
the transformation, you will enjoy it most.

Two young women met in a downtown store IN
New York recently. After they'had declared how
glad they were that they had met, according to
the New York Times, this conversation cnsued:

Moneys Too Tight"

Deacon Pepperton was nervous, his wife was
clustered" and all because a city cousin had
come to spend a day or two with them-an event
SO unusual that the worthy couple felt weighted
with the gravity of the situation.
"What'l I have for dinner? 2" oueried Mrs. Pep
perton, anxiously, when she got a chance to speak
to her husband privately. "I can't seem to think
o. nothing, I'm so upset"
The Deacon, in an endeavor to hide his own
nervousness, looked very wise. "H'm! Why-er-
Dinner? You said dinner, did you" His wife
nodded frantically. Whereat the Deacon puck

"No, no; that won't do" she protested. owe

Deacon, with a wry face. "You must have made

THE HOME CIRCLE
A Leap Year Lyric

If, hiding now my face from thee,
/ should reveal my heart,
And thou therein couldst only see
How dear to me thou art,
Thou wouldst not wantonly disdain
A sanctuary where
Thine image~pust enthroned remain
The sovereign idol therei
Then howsoever high thy state,
Mine howsoever low,
/ would not murmur at my fate,
Nor weary of it's woe,
For l would know thy heart had seen
No heart so leal as mine.
And vert thou worshippcd of a queen,
Less royalty were thine!
/ would not quench this passion fraught
With tenderness so sweet,
Though l may only lay in thought
Its treasures at thy feet;
For if, concealing from thy sight
The altar and its fame,
/ pass again~into the night,
As lonely as | came
Unseen thy sorrows still to weep,
Unknown thy Joy to share,
One hope would yet survive to keep
Ny spirit from despair:
Mayhap a faircr day will dawn,
And / may live to see
Thy heart from lighter loves withdrawn
Then thou wilt come to me!

hatchin' ways"
The dinner at the Pepperton's that day was a
grand success. Cousin Thomas praised the fried
chicken, and raved about the luxury OF having
such toothsome dainties growing on ones own
farm, "Thats where you farmers have the adj
vantage of us city fellows" he added, genially.
"Now, if we want a tender young fowl we must
go down in our pockets for the price-and even
then we often find it difficult to get exactly what
we want"
"Have another piece" stammered the Deacon,
avoiding his wife's eyes.
"But," replied Cousin Thomas, as he passed his
plate, "there are some things about farm life that
we do better in town. Take the average farm
yard, for instance. The grass isn't cut, there are
no walks worthy of the name; the porch is a dis
NAL failure; the trees are too few or too many;
the vines and shrubs are missing entirely, or else
they are uncared for or in the wrong places;
flower beds (f there are any look sick, and alto
gether there's a lack of that dainty, coy, artistic
yard-effect which is so commonly seen in town
yards. l don't mean your yard, of course, for you
have things slicked up into decent shape. I mean
the average yard all over the country. I travel a
good deal, and I know that a really artistic farm
yard is a rarity"
The Deacon coughcd, and Mrs. Pepperton IN
consciously looked out of the window toward Hank
Peters house.
II can show you one yard near here, Cousin
Thomas, that's as pretty as anything you ever see
anywhere"
"That 500" The tone was politely skeptical.
"pd like very much to see it, Deacon"
After dinner he did see it, while Mr.. Peters

on the other, in modest confusion.

have done It if they'd really tried"
"That beats mel" calculated Cousin Thomas,
when a little later he sat summing himself on the
Deacon's porch. "I wouldn't have believed that
a simple little country cottage and yard could be
made so beautiful. Where did this farmer get his
taste and his ideasg"

"Hank always was the durndcst Teller you ever see

the questioner. "Isn't he a great readerw

go yE ALSO INTO THE VINEYARD.

There is some encouragement 10
those who slipped into the Republican
party by the gold creased route in
1886, in the fact that the Hon. Geo. b.
Cortelyou who is to become the chair
man of the National Republican Com
mittee, to succeed the lats Marcus A.
Hanna, did the same thing in 1886.
Ten years ago MIR. Corfelyou was
brought into the White House by Mr..
Cleveland rs one of the official stenog'
raphers. With his friend Mr.. Cleve-
land leading the way, Mr.. CortelyOu
found himself voting for Mckinley two
years later. His hold on his steno
graphic job was thus made secure.
Later he was advanced to the position
of secretary to the president. and later
when the office of Secretary of Com
MERGE and Labor was to be filled Mr..
COrtelyOu, the late Democrat, the late
"GOld bug was thought fit to fill that
position over millions who had been
working In the vineyard during all the
heat and burden of the day, SO he was
appointed. Now this same recently
converted Cleveland appointee and
Democrat, has been found to be SO in
love with all the principles he once es-
sayed to deny and the Republican par.
ty SO in love with him, that he has
been chosen as the very person to put
in the most responsible position, from
a party standpoint, man can for a
while occupy, viz: that of Chairman
of the National Republican Commit
tee. We mention this fact for two
reasons. One is to show how success
full Mr.. Cleveland has been in making
Republicans, and second, to show how
successful at least one Cleveland made
Republican has been. Both are in.
centives to others to hold on, to stick
to the ship. Mr.. Roosevelt has designed
to notice Mr.. COrtelyou and reward
him. why may he not do the same fol

same route as the Honorable Secretary
of Commerce and Labor !? Those Of

done so, would do we'll to read the 22d
