silk and outlining the fronts of the pei
crime and the cuffs of the same embrold-
cred satin headed by lace completing the
sleeves lend a rare cachet of elgance to
the entire gown.
The new hats are as eccentric at the
present time as they were in 1880 days
when huge poke bonnets or cabriolets
were worn, with their extraordinary
decorations of flowers, feathers and
streamers. Surely no lady of the time
of Louis Philippe ever appeared with
hat more absurd than one seen at gar
den party not long ago. 1t was in mauVe
straw and fitted snug1y to the head at
the back and pitched forward in such
bewildering way that one was in con-
stant fear of the wearer. One side was
rolled very high and trimmed with a
huge garland of some kind Of mauve
flowers. The hat was so strangely bal
anced on the young wOman's head that
it looked doubtful whether it would
reach home in safety.
The small high crowns are conspicu-
Gus among the new hats, which also bear
fiat crowns. Some very pretty creations
were noticed in contrast to the eccentric
models They were made of white crepe
de chine. simply trimmed, with twist
of velvet around the crown, or banded
with a velvet ribbon fastened in front
with a fancy buckle.

THIS GOOD OLD WORLD.

indeed you are a good old world despite
what people say,
In spite Of all that yet may hap to me
along the way;
Be they hard knocks or days Of grief that
Fate doth hold in store
They cannot take away the joys of days
that are no more;
They cannot take from me the glens l
knew nor betting walls
OF virgin rock on either side, the wild
birds thrilling calls,
The sails DER perfumed seas and wide upon
an even keel
When eyes gave back my own rapt look
and Love smiled at the wheel.
They cannot take away from me excur-
sions that I took
To find strange hooks and new delights,
new beauties of the brook,
New dips and shady angles of the cool en-
trancing glen:
They cannot take the nlem'ry Of the youth
/ joyed in then;
They can't make me forget the way to
make a cunning hook
Out Of a needle nor the way tissue kite
should look;
Nor how to fix her when she dives, when
she should upward sail,
BY pulling up bunch Of weeds to fasten
to her tail.
The world is good, surprising sweet, the
baby at my knee
Gives me excuse enough for joy; each
lifting laugh Of glee
Is just another treasure added to the
brimming store
That l am saving 'gainst the time When
I may get no more;
She comes to me with blossoms in each
tiny dimpled fist.
She comes to me with eyes alight and lips
my own have kissed
Raised up to mine. Would | forget such
pleasures If I could?
Tomorrow? Let tomorrow bide. To-day
the world is good.

SHOW TASTE IN BOOKS

1t is but 40 years since an English
book was practically unknown in
Japan, the only foreign literature
studied was the Chinese, and the first
foreign language to be taught in the
schools was the Dutch. Now, while
the English is the most common
among the people and is studied by all
high class pupils, German and French
are favored generally by scholars and
physicians. There is a foreign lam
guage school in Toxic, where almost
all languages are taught, and. curious
~ enough, Russian is the favorite.

The dropping shoulder effects and
sweeping outlines are too attractive to
be discarded altogether for modes which
are not so graceful In fact, it is most
difficult to prophesy correctly as to what
special period will be adopted for the
coming styles. With the contradictory
information received from all sides it is
impossible to arrive at any satisfactory
conclusion.
If one were to judge from the extraor-
binary models which are daily created
and held up for our admiration as being
exact reproductions of the different
periods, it would be necessary to possess
an exceptional knowledge in that line
to be able to recognize them. In one
gown seen recently there were at least
three distinctive styles combined, but
as the dress was within the limits of
good taste, and becoming besides, it
mattered little what period it belonged
to.

1885, is hemmed with fringe, while the
