For h G or Self.

A rector in London tells OF two
sisters he knew in early life. One OF
them married a lord, and spent her
days in entertaining company, dress
ing and seeking all the pleasures that
wealth and high position could give.
The other married a working man,
and with a sick husband most of the
time had to work with her. WI hands
for the support Of her family. The
rector visited them in their homes.
And he found the rich woman melan-
choly, critical and our. He found
the poor woman joyful, contented,
her heart full of song and her face
beaming with the light of peace and
happiness within. What made the
difference? Evidently it was in the
purpose Of their lives. One had a Sc
rious purpose and lived for others;
the other had little purpose above
that of disqualification. One with
great burdens of poverty was rich in
Christian graces and real enjoyment;
the other, with no care for this

Empire Skirt.

The new Empire skirt illustrated
is one of the prettiest and most grace
full Of the season. 1t hangs in long
sweeping lines, it retains the normal
waist line at the front while it short
ems it a bit in the back after the man
ner of the period, and is peculiarly
we'll adapted to all the soft materials
of fashion, even cloth being made sc
pliable this year that it can be made
full with perfect success. This one
is shown in white marquisette with
embroidery executed on the material
as a trimming, but while such trim
ming is exceedingly beautiful there
are innumerable appliques which are
most effective and an infinite variety
of ways in which the skirt can b
finished. Indeed, the simple stitched
hem often is sufficient, while the lis!
of landings and trimmings to be pur.
chased by the yard is very nearly linn
itless. There is a smoothly fitted
girdle, over which the fulness is ar
ranged, and which serves to make the
wearer comfortable as well as to keer
the skirt perfectly in place, and
which is concealed by the outer one
of soft silk.
The skirt is cut in seven cores and
the foundation girdle in eight sec.
tons, while the draped girdle is in

Trimmings Are Heavier.

1t is said that trimmings will, in
general, assume a somewhat heavy
appearance. All this is evidently in
view of bearing down the skirt and
imparting to it the required droop-
ing movement, which will more than
aver be the keynote Of our future
fashions. We shall have principally
galloons, at least for street wear,
lace and velvet applications being
reserved for a TOT dressy type. 1t
is doubtful, however, if lace, except
on dinner and evening toilettes, will
be employed to the extent it has been
of late years, and when used it will
be almost exclusively of a quite
heavy order, and the design very
large and distinct, SO as to allow of
the addition Of metallic effects in
the shape of spangles and colored
silks, rendering it still more dressy
and handsome.

What Was the Matter With Him?

A Richmond man has in his employ
a colored man Of advanced age who,
by reason of his thrifty habits, had
accumulated enough money to defray
the cost of his sons tuition at a ne
gro college in Alabama.
When the darky's boy returned to
Richmond after the completion Of his
course, he proceeded, much to his
parents disgust, to air his opinions
on various subjects in a more or less
diffuse and forid style Of speech.
One day the old man took him
aside and addressed him as follows:
