The Important Details of Dress

Embroidered taffeta is employed for
breast and sleeve revers on the fall
coats, the embroidery used as an edging
and done in colors in silk, small floral
designs preferred. If one cannot afford
the hand work, very rich colored gal
looms may be used with good results.
Embroideries will be seen on woolens
as well as silks, this trimming another
feature of the season.
The manufacture of velveteen has
reached such stage Of perfection, the
dyes now are so good, it will without
doubt prove strong rival to velvet, the
two will be extremely popular with fol-
lowers of Fashion. Fur trimmings will
be approved, and chiffon waists for the
three-piece velvet suit, the waist of vel
yet being too warm in our over-heated
houses.
Shouldersare to be broad, almost man
nishly so, and the higher sleeve puff
now in favor gives the desired fullness.
Skirts will be ample just below the
hips, the bust high, the deep point OF
the girdle in front much the same as last
year AS one writer remarks, fashion
tendencies are an accentuation and de-
velopment of. adopted styles rather
than an introduction Of novel ones.
Which means we may without great
deal of trouble remodel some of last
years gowns.
Pale blue is a good choice for the sep
arate waist. A pretty waist recently
offered was light-colored mohair with
open-work embroidery. This can be
easily cleaned, and should meet with
high favor. Sleeves for waists to be
worn save with the strictly short walk
ing costume, will be of elbow length or
one even shorter than this favorite.
Which entails very long gloves, and
very long gloves are pretty expensive.
For evenings it may be a comfort to
know, the long silk glove will be all
right.

we'll for any occasion; embroidered col
lar and revers and large, fancy buttons
should be the trimming. But we may
state right here the tendency is for the
lighter colors for dressy wear; this is
to be what is called a color season; by
which is not meant necessarily snowy,
loud" season, but one where somber
shades are in the background.
White waists for wear with various
skirts are to be in full favor, worn as
they have not been for several years.
Those of fine white, trimmed with some
handmade lace and embroidery, will
be well liked, and white nets are to be IN
mode. Spangled robes will be affected
by those that care for that sort of thing,
but they always remind us of the circus,
and we think them very trying, unless
one have very bright eyes and bril-
liant complexion.
Separate waist of silk and chiffon will
be worn as part of the three-piece suits;
answer for some more than usually
dressy morning affair, be just the thing
for afternoon dress, and do well enough
for evening. Last year we remember a
beautiful costume of gray; the skirt q
fine broadcloth, the waist creation Of
gray chiffon, velvet and lace; the wear
er handsome pale brunette, it was very
effective. Il
Does this appeal to you as a play on
blue-a color very common and not
considered especially suitable for any
thing save the common wear, and yet we
hold that use of the delicate tones
would make most effective costume for
formal OCCASIONS skirt of fine dark
blue broadcloth and long coat of the
same; the waist of gray-blue chiffon,
made with high puffed sleeves, the lower
part unlined, the arm showing through
the transparency; here and there some
metallic luster. in the girdle back and
front, and perhaps a necklace or dog
collar of silver filagree.
Costumes will again be made up on
boned and fitted Innings. Save in de-
tails, which are of utmost Importance
in giving the right touch of Questionable
ness, styles are very similar to those of
last year. The sleeve is perhaps the
most decided departure, the puff well
above the elbow. Plain goods will be in
better form than novelty mixtures;
those that cannot afford broadcloth, or
desire lighter weight goods, will do we'll

Like the dawn of summer morning. when
the dainty colors blend,
When the crystal dew reposes
On the mignonette and roses,
Is the Joy with which 1 greet thee, my
loved and cherished friend.
But. as somber sounds of nightfall carry
sadness to the heart,
Thus discordant gloom rejoices
And these grim nocturnal voices
Touch the chord of melancholy as the
moment comes to part.
Neither dawn nor yet the nightfall make
the total of lifes day,
Not the eastern sun ascending
Nor the west with daylight ending,
But the minutes IN between them as they
speed themselves away.
Not the greeting nor the farewell tell
what friendships love doth mean,
Not the handclasp with its gladness.
Not the good-by with its sadness,
Not the meeting nor the parting, but the
life that lies between.
Friendship binds two lives together
though broad seas between them roll.
'Tis no vanishing emotion,
Not fancy or a notion,
Friendships threads are interviewer in
the fabric of the SOUL

THE MAGNET AND THE TOP.

horseshoe magnet, such as you can buy
in any toy shop.
Now spin the top and hold the mag
net horizontally near its edge. 1t is
still attracted, no matter how rapidly
it may be spinning.
But if you hold the magnet above the
disk with it's poles pointing straight
down you will be surprised to See that
the top is no longer attracted. On the
contrary, it is repealed, and crawls
away from the magnet, at least so loEg
as it is spinning rapidly. AS the top
runs down, however, there comes a
time when this repelling action, which
depends on it's speed, is overcome by
the natural attraction. Then the top
is again attracted by the magnet If
you are observing you may notice that
when the magnet repels the top, it
also acts on it like a brake, so that
it runs down sooner than it would
otherwise.
Both the repulsion and the slowing
up occnr because there are electric
currents flowing through the top,
says a writer in Good Literature,
and these currents are due to the spill
ming and the presence of the magnet.
Now when currents are caused by
moving piece of metal near the mag
net the metal is repealed by the mag
net and at the same time its motion
is impeded as if by friction, and so
our little top both slows up and moves
away from the magnet.

We cannot slavishly follow English

THIS BEAR

@ HREWSBURY, VT-When Sim
y Burbank came in from the noun
tain the other day and declared that
Roaming Pete, the notorious spike
tailed bear of Jockey Cap peak. had
turned shepherd, folks around here
gasped, although they were ready to
believe most anything of Pete.
I'VE don't mean he's gone an done
that, not honest?" exclaimed Abe
Winslow, who has had several expert
ences with the animal himself.
Sure as shootin," declared Sim.

I'm here to declare he's the most
KNOWN critter in the hull county. He
was tendin' 'em jest like man, only
he was drivin' 'em toward Smuggler's

"Sho! Ye don't say?" snorted Abe.
''Waal, waal, caTlate it's about time
we got arter him. What do ye say
we take Bill Cummin's hound an
give him run-it's reasonable cool?''
This plan thoroughly pleased Sim.
In fact, he had journeyed four miles
to the village to enlist the services of
Abe. Generally speaking, he would
stand a good deal from bear before
trailing him in the heat, but Pete's
last performance had thoroughly tried
his patience. Every one in the COM
munity credited Roaming Pete with
being the most knowing bear of sew
eral seasons, and this opinion strength
ened as he successfully eluded capture
time and again. s.

COULDN'T FIND HIS HOUSE
Every Door That Jones Came To OH
This Occasion Was That of
Browns House.

Senator Clark, of Montana, tells OF
the cold winter of 1877, when Tansue
river, now Miles City, was the camp
ing place of the -th infantry. The
officers had huts made of rough logs,
and they were all practically alike, in
size and appearance. They had never
before encountered such weather; so
nobody blamed anybody when some
body occasionally snugged up to John
Barleycorn for warmth and comfort.
On one clear, crisp night an old bach
elor officer wendell his way wobblingly
to his hut, but halted before the wrong
door. He hammered away until the
occupant opened the door and said:
What do you want here?"
II want to get into my mouse, OF
course"
This is not your house."
Then whose house is it, If Il amt
mine?"
This is Browns house"
ooh, we'll then, good night, Brown"
Good night, Jones'"
Five minutes elapsed, when some
body began hammering away at
Browns back door, and, presuming
that another one of Jones was befud-
died, he called out:
who's there, and what do you
want?"
'Tm Jones, and I want to get into
my house."
Now, look here, Jones; l told you
this is not your house."
Whose house is 1t, them"
Browns"
$50 you live here, too, Brown? Good
night"
Almost ten minutes elapsed. Brown
was doing, when another hammering
at his front door aroused him and he
yelled: Hello, there!"
Hello! Let me into my house"
This Is not your house. You can't
get in. Go to your own house, or 60

The word Jack" is applied to any
contrivance which does the work OF
boy or servant. In French the
name Jacques" is term used for a
youth of mental condition. The term
country jake" is of kindred sense.
Jack-lord, Jack-a-napes, Jack Tar,
Jack-o'-Lantern, Black Jack, Jack RaD-

in playing cards. Jack-in-the-box, and
Observation-Disclosures show the derivative

events willed otherwise, and they got
fresher scent. On approaching the
house Mrs. Burbank ran excitedly
toward them, and moment later she
gasped out the startling and exciting
information that the bear had driven
off every one Of Sims eight young
pigs.
1t seems that Sim had no sooner
turned the bend in the road than the
bear trotted across the lots and en-
tered the pigpen. A wild squealing
followed, and soon board was broken
of, and out came the pigs. Closely
behind them trotted bruin, now and
then letting out "woof, wool" and
up the mountain the whole outfit
started. Never had Mrs. Burbank
seen any person or anything drive
porkers with such precision, and even
in her fright and excitement she mar
veled. BY the time she thought to
raise an alarm Sim was out OF hear
ing, so she waited for him to return.
1t didn't take the men long to put
the hound on the trail, and despite the
heat they followed at Looping run as
he started toward Smuggler's Caves.
We'll git him this time, sure
painted Sim, as he lurched along.
"Consarn the cuss, We'll run him right
into his hole and blow his blamed
head off"
Abe nodded, but saved his wind to
help his legs.
Hes Jest goin' to drive 'em into the
caves and sot down by the maouth
until he gifts rested, when he'll eat
'em as he wants EN-" Sim continued.
There's a spring right there and he
won't have to move paig for week,
dingblast his hide!"
Sim proved good prophet, for when
they arrived at the entrance to the
cave the hound stood there believing
and squeals and roars from within
told that the bear and pigs were hay-
ing troubles of their own.
Smoke 'em Quit" suggested Abe as
they so stood getting their breath.
"And have them pigs run out and
scatter into the woods!" gasped his
companion. "Nussir, we'll go in, roll
a stun up to the maouth and block 1t,
and then put the finishin' touches t

Cautiously, and with cooked rifles,
they entered, blocked the cave mouth
and followed a narrow shaft of light.
AS they progressed Che squealing grew
louder, and they prepared for instant
action. The sounds came from

they were following, and they were
surprised to observe that this was

down from the forest above. The light

died against the further wall, but no
bear was in sight.

teral "ha-ha-ha" came from the top
of the chimney, and, glancing up, they
were enraged to see the grinning face
