are being lavishly employed on even
ing gowns.
The loveliest evening scarfs are
made of chiffon finished with deep
satin bands.
The use of dull silver and gold or
naments on dresses and hats Is seen
everywhere:
Hairpins of twisted shell, which are
square across the top, are among the
newest shown.
Bands of gold lace are often worn
around the head when the evening
gown is decollete.
Very smart are the high shoes Of
suede. They come in browns, blues,
grays and blacks.
Long tunics of fine net silk, more
or less deliberately embroidered, are
among the distinguishing features of
the new evening dresses from the
other side of the water.
One of the most conspicuous fea-
lures of afternoon gowns is their fur
trimmings, and the little heads, paws
and tails of the animals are being
employed as we'll as the usual bands.
The semi-decollette frock, about
which fashion was undecided, is now
firmly established as the correct COM
promise between street and full even
ing dress. 1t goes with the picture
hat.
The latest necklaces brought from
the Far East resemble flexible snakes.
They are Of antique or green gold
finished metal, and have eyes and
tongue of imitation rubies, sapphires
and emeralds.
Black satin gowns are smart this
season, but they are yelled with
tunics of embroidered net OF chiffon,
covered with a jerseylike bodice of
heavy embroidery-net and jet COM
bined or silk with jet.

sleeves, and nov tries to match the
general ornamentation by different
styles of metal bands.
Dull-fnished gold or silver seems
to form an approved setting for semi
precious stones, and these "~antiques"
made to order are reasonable enough
to admit of a fair-sized collection.
The w~ell-dressed woman changes
her bracelets with her gowns.
Egyptian, Russian, Italian and In
dian jewelry form the models for
these lovely ornaments.
They give an appropriate finish to
gowns that trace their lines back to
the other centuries.
They are certainly more artistic
than the shiny plain bands of gold.
Their colorful lines are effective ad-
ditions to day and evening gowns

Ointment, together with Cuticura Re-

the baby was cured by Cuticura. I

HAND IN HAND.

We twain went DER the world so wids,
And never gold had we;
But she was ever at my side,
And that was all to me.
In many a land her dear, sweet hand
Knew the firm clasp of mine,
Over the weary desert sand
And by the purpling vine.
The seas were broad. the seas were deep,
And night and storm fell drear;
She did not waver-did not weep,
But stood beside me there.
@Oh. hide thee from the tempest's breath,
So wild-so swift to kill"
Sweetly she said: Through life-through
I am beside thee still"
In novels hard for hunger, sweet
heard her breathe my name.
And saw the night with morning meet
Over deep pits of shame.
And ever in the weary ways.
Where the red thorns abide,
TIL &c is sweet music in my days,
For she is at my side.

Fascination of the Newspaper.
ev SAMUEL G. BLYTHE. in Leslie's.

Newspaper work is essentially a
business for young men. Old men
cannot last in it, because old men can
not stand the pace. And the further
truth is that when a man gets old in
newspaper work, unless he has spe'
cialized, he decreases in value to MS
employer instead Of increasing. The
younger you get in, the better 1t viii

and are ready to take a chance. l
don't know how to get out. 1 have
seer shoals of newspaper men get out
into all sorts of jobs, from business
down to politics, and lots of them
have made wads of money; but they
never did belong, anyhow. The real
writer never gets out Of his game;
and why should he, for his game ls
the best game in the whole world.

"They say" went on Apolena, "that

stead of laughing with JOY, she just
%blubbered, and that when Lazar saw
her at it, he also went to weeping,
and then those two precious idiots
wept away on a bench side by side,
instead Of being glad"
"Well, perhaps it was their way of
being glad" said Matey.
"Was there ever such a Ounce as

"He only says that out of perver-

81 wish Seraphiena luck. She is a
good girl, if lanky and marked with
the smallpox, and she had seedlings
and slappings enough before Lazar
had that lucky dream. I hope that
they may get married"
And still there are people who rid
icule dreams, and abuse the little lot
terry" said her father, m~editatively.
What will you," said Apolena.
There are still people who believe
that the world is round like an ap-
pie, and that the people on the other
side walk about with their heads, and
have their legs in the air! And 9TH
