Revival Of Flower Turban.


For the flower turban one hanks
back to the days when every woman
had violet turban.
This turban is rather large this sea-
son. 1t is pointed in front and is COW
cred as to the top with violets, while
the sides are matched with leaves.
This violet and green together form q
very pretty combination which can be
made dressier by the addition OF a
pink velvet bow, or series of little
pink velvet bows, arranged around the
crown in such manner that the little
bows touch the hair.
The gown to wear with the flower
toque is unquestionably gown of the
same color. A pretty purple, pansy
colored, or a lavender gown goes beau
tifully with violet trimmed hat. And
one can even essay to wear pink II
one cares to do so.

CRY OF THE NEGLECTED..
Old Lady craved Human Companion

ship and Sympathy.
Hezekiah Butterworth tells path
etc story of an old aunt Of his who
lived all alone on lonesome old farm
close by the Merrimac river. Feeling
self-reproachful because they did not
visit the old lady oftener, he and his
wife tried to make amends one
Christmas, by sending her number
of gifts which they knew she desired
greatly.
The old lady stood by in silence
while the expressman opened pack
age after package for her. She lifted
the three pictures in gorgeous gilt
frames and set them carefully out OF
harms way; she helped the man carry
the big Morris chair into the best
room; she watched him as he set up
the huge range in it's proper place.
and momentary CLEAN of satisfaction
dawned in her eyes as he carried the
old one out into the woodshed.
But even this died quickly away
and the sorrowful old face grew sad
der and sadder. The expressman.
who latter the manner Of expressmen
generality, had left the door open be-
hind him, heard piteous sob, and
then broken, pathetic voice crying:
"Oh, Lord, dear Lord! Can't they
see that it's folks, not things, want?"

Useful Hints.

You can make of odds and ends Of
accordion-pleated gauze or chiffon
pretty 5 o'clock tea jackets, and here
fashion is most elastic. You can
wear the tea jacket short or long, as
your fabric allows. A fchu-like collar
or V-shaped vest of lace at the neck
is a charming finish, and the sleeves
can be picturesque, long and hang
ing, or short and pulled to the elbow.
One Of the prettiest jackets was
made out Of a length of pale blue
zenana. There was not sufficient ma
terial for full sleeve, SO 1t was
tight to the elbow, cut in scallops,
finished with some accordion-plaited
blue chiffon edged with remnant Of
Valienciennes lace. The collar was
made of white muslin, with insertion
and edgings of Valenciennes, fasten-
ing to one side, with big chou of
palest pink and blue chiffon.

WAITING FOR THE END.
Green PoIiceman's Naive Explanation
to His Chief.

[ :
to His Chief.
There was appointed to the police
force of Pawtucket about dozen
years ago well-known German resi-
dent. At that time there was no pa
troll signal or telephone system, and
officers on their beats were obliged
to communicate with police headquar-
tiers by telephone at the nearest drug
store.

ed for duty and was assigned to the
Pleasant View district. He had hard
ly mastered the English language, and
when he got excited the language was
broken into small pieces.
Along toward noon the officer was
called to house on his, beat where
man had committed suicide by hang
ing. He viewed the suspended body,
and was as much frightened as any OF
those who had gathered. One OF the
woman neighbors expressed the belief
that the man was probably not dead
and it would be good idea to cut
him down." as she expressed it.
The new police officer, by this time
thoroughly ratified, ran from the house
and sought the nearest drug store,
where he got into communication by
telephone with the police station. The
chief answered the call, and after
learning what the officer had seen, in
quired, "Have you cut the man down"
"No, he amt dead yet" answered
the excited voice at the other end OF
the line.

MAKING Of Gowns.

The pointed girdle and corselet
bodices need fully developed figures,
therefore the very youthful evening
frocks are still simple blouse waists
gathered into close-ftted moderate
girdles with the pretty 1880 berthas
draping the shoulders and falling
wide over the full elbow sleeves. The
skirts of the frocks follow the prevail
ing mode-wide ans round, gathered
or plated at the waist and trimmed
with rufles or founces about the
lower half. Decided favor is being
shown velvet as a trimming on sheer
fabrics just at present, though this
may be varied by ribbon ruffles set on
in rows, waves or scrolls.

Compensation.

Better to mourn our dead
Than never to know how sweet
The lisping words of a child
Or the patter of little feet;
Better to mourn, say,
Than never to know the care
OF, the tender, trusting souls
That God himself sent there
Better to mourn our dead
I saw 1t through scalding tears
Than not to know the charm
They trailed through our faltering
years. Es
For heart from which love has fled
Is nearer the great unknown,
And perhaps Is bound by golden thread
TO the Masters plying throne.
Better to mourn our dead
q YOU who hear my voice,
pray you smile through your binding
tears,
And though sad is your heart, rejoice!
For we who weep for our own know well
But, ah at what bitter cost,
How dreary must be the hearts OF men
Who have never loved and lost.

Cannon made his dinner on green
corn, eating seven ears. The farmer

piled: "Six dollars a day" WELL"

Sprinu Colors.

There is fancy for the violet tones
in the spring. But there is also l!k-
ing for brown. And the four browns
of the year are clear brown, which is
a deep shade, golden brown, chestnut
brown which is known to all as sort
Of reddish tone, and Havana brown,
which as almost exactly the color of a
good cigar. These four browns will
furnish the theme for almost all the
brown dresses of the spring.
