tahooed,. and blue and black serge cos.
tunes are always to be found in every
thorough outfit. The palest of grays,
almost white, the tans, so light as to
be nearly yellow, the new faint shades

sible and practical. list, and all of
these colors are suitable for long or
short coats and long or short skirts,

Combining cloth and silk is to be
immensely fashionable this season,
and among the newest models are to
be found some fascinating instances
of this. The cloth skirt to be worn
with silk, the soft finished silk coat,
is most attractive, and absolutely new,

to believe that the two were Intended
to be worn together. Soutache braid
ing is really one of the marked fea-
lures of the season and is most extern
sively used on all materials and COL
ors. Yelling and silk have often been
combined, but never to the extent
they are this spring, and, as in the
cloth and silk costume, the coat of
silk is thought smarter than the coat
of the same material as the skirt.
Bands of silk trimmed with lines Of
the narrow braid are another fashion,
and often the silk band with the dark
braiding is used in preference to the
same colors, but this is again one of
the details to be solved by individual

Waists to match the skin are again
the most fashionable this spring, but
almost invariably is there short
coat or wrap to be worn with the
gown. This is on the order of the
short wrap with long shoulder effect,
not generally becoming, it must be
admitted, and yet decidedly smart.
AS a rule this style of wrap has the
disadvantage that it completely hides
any lines of the figure and unless cut
exactly right gives the appearance OF
short, thick waist. However, 1t is

Said Dickens Exaggerated.

out to the pupils of that academy.

To rms EDITOR or THE JOURNAL
Dear Sir
A sad. fearful audience gathered "a
day in School Hall 10 worship God. AT
four O'Clock this morning the cry of
Fire" rang up aud down our streets
and soon we learned the old church
that had stood for 70 years was on fire.
II was too late 30 do anything except to
protect the surrounding houses, and We
stood and saw it crumble to ashe. with
not yestige remaining.
Our ladies had given sociables and
saved the money for years and all had
worked to beautlfy and make it con
venient and attractive, and only re-
Gently they had spent ~, 800 and every
one was pleased with the work which
the committee had performed, Many
OF our out-of-town friends had helped
largely, one lady who not only gave
TO help the repairs but also when fin
ished had given piano. And now all
is in ashes. The old Bible which had
done duty so many years. the memorial
table, the portraits Of many Of the pill
lars of the church As well as that Of our
honored and much loved former pastor,
DR.. Pratt. All are gone now aud only
the remembrance remains.
The old church had been witness
TO many an event At the outbreak Of
the Civil War our boys. TO great ex-
tent, enlisted from there and many 8
patriotic meeting was held there also.
Many of them came home from the
war to be buried from there. our sons
aud daughters were baptized there;
many were married at the altar there,
aud now not vestgess remains.
The Pastor took for his text today
lsiah IA II "Our House where or faith
ers praised thee is burned up with fire
aud all our pleasant things are laid
waste, He spoke Of the sacrifices We
all had 10 make, aud he made the first
by given his entire salary from now
to July 1905, and the work of rebuild
ing will doubtless soon begin. To us
who are older the newchurch can never
till the same place IN our hearts that
the old one had We may sometime
know why this calamity came 10 us.
until then We can only wait "
