MEMORIAL To LOVED MOTHER.
Curious Monument in Chamber of Eng
Iish Cottage.


In a quaint cottage in picturesque
Surrey (Eng) village, a room has been
set apart as a memorial chamber for
upwards of sixty years. One end of
the small apartment is entirely filed
by curious monument, the center
tablet of which bears the inscription,
In memory of a revered parent
On each side are rudely carved
kneeling female figures. Above it are
the figures of a woman in eighteenth
century country dress, holding baby,
and two boys in smock frocks. On the
stone steps are these words, THE
sweet remembrance of the just will
flourish though they sleep in dust"
On urn shaped tablets on either side is
inscribed, In memory of Mary Taylor,
one of the best of wives and mothers,
who, by her labor, principally in the
fields, supported herself and family.
She had been employed in reaping in
the adjoining field from o'clock in
the morning of the Sd of September,
1892, until II o'clock, when she re-
turned for the purpose of eating her
homely meal, and while in the act of
crossing this very floor she suddenly

In Blue Broadcloth.

Richness and gorgeousness to de-
gree that would be barbaric were the
results not so harmonious in color and
so beautiful in line are characteristic
of a great number of the new trim
mings and gold, silver and other met
allie effects enter into many. but en-
broidery is the feature that runs riot
everywhere. But no matter what 9TH
er trimmings are used they are fairly
sure to be REINFORCED by touches OF
velvet. A stunning suit of blue broad
cloth has a wide circular skirt with
tiny tucAs over the hips and two deep
tucks around the bottom. The bodice
closes under the arm and has bib
front of gold-embroidered white silk,
outlined by a narrow band of blue
velvet The elbow sleeves are one
large puff with three tucks over top
and finished with a turned cuff OF vel
vet and a frill of cream lace. The
buttons on designed piece in front are
cut steel.

Use of Embroideries.

selected for some of the most elabor-
ate bullion embroideries. One gown

EIaborate TaiIored Gowns.

The most elaborate tailored gowns
are difficult to describe The cloth is
manipulated in a surprising fashion
with every kind of variation to the
empire long coat, fancy Elton, reding-
ote and short jacket. Gray is the pre-
dominating color, but claret, purple,
green, blue and off shades of plum
and other unusual colors are seen.
Very many of these gowns are made
with sweeping skirts. Not trains, OF
course, but decidedly long skirts. In
fact, all gowns not strictly for walk
ing purposes, are made with skirts
that touch the ground. The bell
shaped skirt is the most fashionable,
although plaits have by no means
gone out. Broadcloth and the soft, phi
able materials, such as cashmere, vel
vets, voile, ETC., are mostly used.

The fronts are open to display the

ton design, full at the shoulder and
close below the elbow. The skirt is
close at the top and groups of plaits
are inserted into slashings at inter
walls below the curve of the hip. The
plaits are not stitched down but

The latest sensation in New York

while thousands below stood trem-

velvet is folded high around the crown

CAT DISTURBED THE oReANIsT.
Imprisoned Animal the Source of Dis
cordant Sounds.

A Dorsetshire organist was dis
coursing a lovely voluntary the other
day on the king of instruments in
Wesleyan chapel, when discordant
sounds struck upon his attuned ears
which set his teeth on edge and made
his hair stand on end like qui1ls upon
the frightful porcupine. What were
they? Whence did they come? Had
the instrument gone stark mad-or
had he? With great caution and all
the courage he could muster, he left
the keyboard, and stealthily crept
around like a man in search of a burg
lar, determined to face the music or
perish. Soon the mystery was solved,

In Cloth and Velvet.

A gown of cloth and velvet in
warm shade of brown had a princesse
skirt fitted smoothly over the waist
and hips and falling in wide folds
about the feet. The upper part of the
skirt was of cloth and the lower half
of velvet, cut in fancy scollops at the
top. The short jacket was of velvet
trimmed with cloth. Cloth bands
edged the jacket and collar; revers
and cuffs were cloth. All of these
were edged with a fancy silver braid.

Never for an instant did he falter or
hesitate, but with calm, even move

was on the step of a staircase, the
steeplejack came down to the street.
Then Garrick swarmed up the verti-
cal face of the Flatiron. Our sketch

the roof.
