Two negroes, a man and a woman,
emerge from the manor house of a
plantation in the south. The woman
carries under her arm an oblong metal
box long enough to contain an infant,
the man a spade. Not far from the
house is plot Of ground in which the
bones Of the Ashleys for generations
lie buried. The two go to this spot; the
man digs a grave, the coffin is lowered
and the earth thrown back. In due
time a small headstone is erected bear

eight months and seven days.

The~uniform of the Russian soldier

whereas the man who knows he can be

Boston Transcript describes the SOL

The Russian campaigner marches
somewhat heavily laden. He has his
kft-bag with clothing slung over one
shoulder, his haversack with two days
rations of bread and salt slupg over
the other, his greatcoat strapped un-

pounds. The advantage which offsets
the burden is that at pinch the Rus.

The Russian cavalryman rides so Ia

Severity is accounted the prime fac

They say, reports a fashion authority,
that horizontal trimmings will replace
vertical decorations on the-newer sum-
mer gowns. 1t is true we have had many
applications of horizontal banded trim
mings this winter, but they were chiefly
confined to shoulder or cape-like af-
fairs.
Horizontal bands of ribbon satin and
velvet all form trimmings for the plain
cloth frock, and braid, too, will be used
in this way from the hem to few inches
below the waist. In fact, braid is used
on all the tailor-made costumes over
here, a very plain narrow silk military
braid being the most popular
The small boy is seen wearing suit
of white cloth, coat and trousers. The
coat has collar and cuffs of black vel
vet, which help to keep it fresh. The
lad wears white beaver hat, with
rolled back brim, and black velvet
crown band. He has white corduroy
leggings to cover his stockings on a
rough, Marchy morning.
Crash bands embroidered in scarlet,
Turkish green, crimson and orange,
with dash of gold thread are extreme
~ snowy as a trimming. They are used
with an otherwise all-gray toilet meant
for use as spring suit. The increase
in specialized toilets for different occa-
sfons has~not yet driven the old-time
"spring suit" from favor.
Immense quantities Of lace will be
used on5both day and evening gowns,

fadS is to trim cloth wfthsfhe lighter
kinds Of lace, preferably Valenciennes
and Chantilly, and the thin goods with

exactly matching the frock, which has
been such success here this winter, will
be la mode this spring and summer. -
Far from being laid aside, the separate
blouse is more attractive than ever this
spring, and the dealers evidently expect
it to be in demand, for the. supply is
large and the models are OF infinite va
riety. There is no denying that blouse
in the color of the skirt Worn with it is
far more modish than one contrasting
in. color, but the white blouse is too
pretty and becoming to be abandoned.
