is SENTIMENT EECClINGPASSE?

! According to the Newark (N. j. Adj
yertiser. sentiment is becoming an I'M
| known quantity in the lovers vocabu-
| larry. and incidents are cited as proofs
| of this deplcrablc state. The view
seems to be decidedly pessimiStic, and
one cannot but feel that if a broader
| field of observation had been taken.
the conclusions would have been much
less pessimiStic, at least. The state
| ment referred to follows:
Sentiment is really on the wane every
day; incidents come to ones notice
which verify this fact to an almost
pathetic intensity. In older days gifts
were given with feeling from the in
most regions Of the heart of the giver.
No thought Of effect was prevalent.
Not so now. The florists tell an in
teresting tale of this. As long as the
world goes on so long will flowers be
one of the most acceptable, most beau
tiful of gifts. Years ago they were
Diucked by the ardent lover to give n
his loved one. They ware sent with
love sonnets, hidden away in the clGs.
ter Of plain field flowers or exquisite
roses or yi0,ets. No card accompanied
them.
B,lt this sort Of wc0in~ is not to the
modern lovers liking. He sends bnli-
Duets of violcts whom they are scarce,
orchids which cost 4 small fortune;
American Beauties with yard stems,
but with al no missivcs are to be
found. \ plain card is al. and to many
it wo:.d seem rs though the card said:
81 send you SO worth of love with
these flowers" or. "Am l not an ac-
ccptable lover when l spend SO much |
money on blossoms for my lady?"
Such is much Of the sentiment Of To-
Cay. Money is really the greater part |
Of it. love being quite secondary con-
clifton. The modern girls are. AS ma
jority. content to receive the blossoms |
the lack of sentiment.
Perhaps as the years pass on sentiment
will be thing of the past-somethinS
merely spoken of as characteristic
Of the olden days.

M2',~!ss:ss~ wear

The veil plays a most important part
in fall millinery.
All sorts Of supple cloths are high in
favor for every sort of use.
| Hairy cloths-zibe!ines and their kin
are used very sparingly, and mostly
for separate coats then.
Colored messaline silks with hairline
stripes in shades slightly darker than
the background are seen.
A lovely evening waist of tucked null
shows each tuck edged with Val. lace
a half an inch in width.
One sees all sorts Of handsome wells
attached to hats and apparently form
ing part of the color scheme.
There is a certain indefinable dis
tinction about black broadcloth cos
tune which never fails to appeal to a
woman of taste.
The square neck Of a young girls
evening dress in Paris muslin is COM
posed of rows of Val. insertion, there
being no lace even at the edge.
Most dainty and charming Of all the
fichus is simple little ruffled affair
of white net which can be gotten up
for a quaintness to the frock it adorns.
Everybody is pleased about the red
ingote. The tall woman thinks she is
shortened therein and the diminutive
one is sure she is made taller.
Checks haven't gone out, as almost
everybody prophesied they would; only
they've faded to invisible checks" and
