ers spread widely over the crown.
More frugal examples show velvet OF
ribbon, and fanciful quills All the
crowns are considerably higher than
and those which are not decorated
with feathers or flowers will show
a large Hopping wing on either side.
This latter plain style looks particu.
larly well when the straw of the
crown is of the thatch order, and the
straw of the brim is of a very fine de-
scription.
Artificial flowers bloom in great
profusion, and every season seems to
see them in greater perfection. The
roses are more lovely than ever this
year, muslin, silk and velvet alike be-.
ing used for their advantage.
In our illustration is seen the latest
fashionable union between a colored
skirt and black coat, the color in this
case being a deep wine red, while the
black face cloth of the coat introduces
the further contrast of long waistcoat
fronts of blue gray cloth, embroidered
in several soft shadings. OF course,
the same scheme can be carried out in
any desired colors. or if preferred, the
skirt can repeat the color of the coat,
and merely introduce a different
shade.
In the other costume is seen a more
abbreviated and charmingly curved
coat, which is united to a gracefully
hanging plated skirt and is carried
out in fawn CLOTH and is itself adorned
with black velvet, pale blue cloth,
braidings of black and gold and blue,
and enamel buttons to repeat this
pretty blending of colors, the waist
coat being OF the pale blue cloth with
a decorative edging of braid.

1t is already a question as to wheth-
er the loose coat or the tight coat the
long coat or the short coat will be the
yes and no. answer can be returned
| realize that on the whole the long
coat, at least that which reaches to
the knees, is to be allowed a consid
cradle vogue in the early spring, and
that it is supplied with a waistcoat of
contrasting color, and in some in
stances to be worn over skirt which
matches with that waistcoat. An ad-
mirable example has the skirt of bis
cuit-colored cloth, and waistcoat also
of biscuit color buttoned with gold,
while the coat is of a dull shade of
pale green fastened with very large
gilt buttons and tied at the neck with
black glace silk ends, which certainly
give most distinctive note
1t is some time ago now since we
had the fancy for skirts which differed
materially from their coats, and /
would hail the revival with much en-
| thusiasm, so that each woman always
takes great care to cut the length of
that coat to the measure of her in
dividual figure. Short women may
wear long coats if not too long, and
always supposing the women are not
too short, not abnormally short, |
mean.
The short coats are some of them
belted and with basques, but more
show prediction towards the XII
mono outline. The sleeves of many
are cut in one with the shoulders. and
pretty notion is to have plain cloth
skirt and little coat of finely striped
velvet. A blue skirt finds itself well
completed with a coat of striped black
and blue, black satin forming the
waistcoat, while the hat which crowns
this costume is of blue straw covered
with cornflowers, with a single Grim
son rose at one side. The latest form
| of straw looks like thatch, and it is,
indeed, called thatch straw. A notable

else equally unobtrusive by way of
decoration. A small, neat head was
then the fashion, and very dainty

THE DILATORY LOVER.

There are several fellows in

ing girls for periods ranging from
six to dozen years, aud, so far
as appearances go, they are no
nearer to matrimony than they
were at the beginning.
These meu are no longer young
and, painful to relate, the girls
they are counting are no longer
girls. At least, they are not as
young as they used to be, and,
pardon US for saying so, but they
are beginning to look their age.

away from girl until she is too
old to marry-until her youth
has gone and her beauty las
faded, aud all the while she is
waiting for him to offer a propo.
sails nothlng more or less than
a social deadbeat, a sort of mai
rimonial highwayman, and there
ought to be law on the statute

How They Started.

Reverend .Robt. Colyer, the
eminent preacher, was originally
a blacksmith and spent many an
hour over the forge swinging the
heavy hammer to the music of
the anvil. This occupation,
while severe and prosaic, had it's
uses, for years of hard work
brought with it health, strength,
good lungs, and brawny frame
which served DR., Colyer in good
stead in the pulpit.
Russell II. Conwell, who is
credited with preaching to the
largest Protestant congregation
IN America, IN the Baptist Tenn
pie, Philadelphia, began life as
reporter on Boston newspaper.
He had many vissiLudes and fl
nally went into the Union army
and served during the war, and
it was only after that event that
be finally perceived his real vota-
tion was IN the ministry.
Elihu Root, Secretary of Ststs,
began life as school teacher and
afterwards drlfted into law and
politics. United States Senator
Perkins, of California, earned
his first dollar as a cabin boy;
after that he had many ups and
dows, finally acquiring wealth in
the great West and returning "a
Washington as the representative
of his State in the highest coun-
ellis of the nation. n.-George Bar.
