BRAIDS FOR STYLISH GOWNS
Multifarious Uses Of the Trimming
Now In Demand,

NOW IN demand.
Manifold are the uses of Eraiding
this season, and indeed there Is moth
ing richer, more refined and elegant
than the way the different varieties of
braid are employed. The black dresses
Of chiffon broadcloth and, in fact, of
all kinds Of black woolen goods and
also velvets are braided lavishly, gen.
orally with silk soutache. Some of
this is heavier than the rest, so that
the heavy lines are laid along the in.
ner part of the trimming or braided
design, while the finer sort is laid out
side. Sometimes both weights are
placed fiat on the material, while IN
others it is set on edge. 1 saw black
chiffon cloth yesterday with a design
an inch and half wide around the
skirt and down the left side from the
bust line to the foot. This was in
clover pattern, the peIals outlined by
braid set on edge, while row lay
fat on the outside Of this, and at the
very edge two lines of the braid werr
laid fiat. A richer and more refined
trimming could not he made. In some
other designs wider braids are put in
the center, while the fine soutache is
almost always employed to add to its
beauty. A little bunch of soutache
braid In your hand looks Insignificant,
but when 1t is neatly added to the
edge of garment 1t becomes a thing
of beauty. AS to other varieties of
really beautiful braids, 1t would be
profitless to even try to mention the
thousandth part, there are so many,
but l can say that-braid Is the most
fashionable as well as effective of
trimmings, buttons next. Many stylish
gowns now have sash made of the
material wrought in some design all
over, and this hangs quite to the foot
of the skirt. Pretty capes are also
seen with long stole ends, the whole
surface being braided in some set de-
sign or else in vermicelli pattern.
This last is favorite design for most
Of those who make their own gar
ments, as one need not follow a pat
tern, but just turn it as 1t happens.
And it is handsome.
After all, 1t must be the wearer that
makes the hat beautiful instead of the
hat making the woman so, for yester-
day / saw a woman in hat so awful
that l would be afraid to put it on a
horse in the heat Of summer. He
would surely bolt and do all the dam
age he could, and yet the wearer
looked really lovely in it. The hat
was high in the crown, and it would
be difficult to say where the crown
ceased and the brim began. The brim
was bell shaped and faced with quill
ings of pale pink tulle. The hat itself
was Of coarse black straw. A twist
Of black velvet ribbon went around
the crown, passing plain across the
front. There were velvet strings tied
under the round chin. On the outside
Of the hat and flattened down over the
ears were two white roses with buds
and green leaves. These roses were
not the big and rich satin artificial
flowers Of today, hut were just white
muslin blossoms, such as our remote
ancestors wore, common little things
so palpably artificial that one really
felt like smiling. But the whole hat,
dropping down so closely around the
face and head. with its cheap looking

Roy LEINBACH.

Generally school grounds are
decorated by flowers and lawns, but
in the case of the new high school
building, it would be better if this
were not done, as it would leave
no room for a playground. True
it is, that in the new building there
is a gymnasium, but pupils need out
door as well as indoor exercise, as
the outdoor air is naturally purer.
If the grounds were laid out in
lawns and flower beds, the pupils
would run over them and they
would soon be trampled down,
while if they were leveled off and
covered with gravel and rolled
smooth with a heavy iron roller, so
that it would not be muddy, it
would make fine play ground; or
if the ground was already high
enough, it could be dug out about
a foot, and filled in with crushed
stone and fine lime stone rolled
smooth on top. Leading from each
of the entrances, to the street, could
be concrete sidewalks like those in
front of Dodge's and Katz's stores.
On each side of the walks could be
a few trees, which would in time
furnish shade and beautify the
grounds.

On each side under the windows
or any other place close to the walk,
morning-glories, nasturtiums or
any other climbing plant or flowers,
could be planted.
In the middle of the yard a bed,
about three feet by five and one
half feet, could be made, or raised
a little, about one foot, and in the
upper left hand corner, facing the
east, a space about one and one
half feet square, with bed or field
of blue asters or any other blue
flowers with seeds of white candy
tuft planted so that when they are
in full bloom there will be about
forty-six flowers, which will repre-
Then have in the space left, first, a
row of red geraniums, and then a
row of white candy-tuft, and so
on, till the thirteen stripes have
been made, and when in full bloom
the whole will represent the Ameri-
can flag.
Then on the front lawn, facing
west on each side of the path, cir
cular bed, it does not matter how
large or small-with a border of
nice, green grass, and in the center
the letters, "H. H. S." in red or
white geraniums.
The rest of the lawn can be left
a gravel place for Fairgrounds, or
grass-seed planted, making beauti-
full lawn. Along the path and side
walks, elm or maple trees could be
transplanted.

JURIEs IN ENGLAND.

They Get Through Their Work Quickly
and With Little Fuss.
The working Of the British jury sys-
TEN exhibits a marked contrast with
that of our own. 1t is possible that my
experience in British courts was ex-
ceptional. but in not single instance
did see juror challenged or reject
ed. In all of the courts requiring ju-
ries the necessary number of men
were present and they were sworn in
without question. In the sheriff's dep
uty court in Scotland the presiding
judge gave notice to the jury that he
expected to adjourn the court at 2
o'clock and stated that If they could
all remain until that hour he would at
once dismiss the men who had been
called for a second panel. The jurors
conferred together and decided to re-
main till l o'clock. whereupon the
Judge notified the other men to appear
at 1890. The one jury impaneled for
the morning session rendered six YER
diets in cases involving prosecutions
for thefts, fraud and burglary.
In the court of quarter sessions at
Taunton. England, I saw single jury
In one day render eleven verdicts. I
found that 1t was customary in the
several sorts Of court that I attended
for the same jury to act in successive
cases. In no instance did see jury
leave their seats to make up their YER
dict Usually the issue before them
was made so plain that all who gave
attention knew in advance what the
decision would be. made note of an
exceptional instance of delay when the
court was forced to wait nine minutes
for the report Of the jury. In this case
the Judge who gave the instructions
was himself in doubt as to what the
verdict ought to be.
A Scottish jury consists of fifteen
persons, and majority may render a
verdict. In England the number is
twelve. and unanimity is required. But
/ noted no difference as to practical
results in the two countries. The
twelve men In the English jury were
as prompt and certain in their action
as were the eight out Of fifteen in the
Scottish jury.-McClure's Magazine.

which the Ages appeal for some
information about Col. Olin Merrill,

gives the impression that. he is

thought of high Office than of a
