 The jabots of the hour are eccentric. Most of them are attached to band collars of consid derab1e depth. made of combination of whatever materials
 are used for the waist, and sur mounted by narrow frills of a tinsel cord.
 One of the handsome new lingerie blouses is of handkerchief linen. The yoke is formed by five groups of five hand-run tucks. Over the yoke, ire spective of the tucking, is embroidered dainty design in satin stitch and eyelet work
 No evening costume is complete now adays without one of the graceful shoulder scarfs which are draped in all sorts of clever ways over the arms and shoulders. These shoulder scarfs are even used in the afternoon at bridge parties and matinees, the after noon scarf. of course, being darker and more subduded than the evening affair.

Haldane, from his one interview
with Gormly, had an idea that in this
instance the two forces to be dread

Now, of course, everyone of those
present had read Gormly's startling
announcements of his candidacy. Most
of them had read them with amuse-

any feeling of alarm, and even that
feeling was not sufficiently deep to
have awakened any special degree of
anxiety Yet the fact that each one
had been summoned to Haldane's

had. He was a man of some parts.
He could make a brilliant speech, pre-

public meetings, and was altogether
an admirable figure to head a great
city in everything but morals.
Associated with these four intensely

Daniel Webster, one of the great est
lawyers and statesmen the world has
ever seen, after an active political life
covering period Of more than fifty
years, died on October "A, 1852, In the
SEVENTEEN year of his age. AT the
time of his death he was Secretary Of
State in the cabinet of Willard Fillmore.
Being broken in health through hard
work during thesummer Of 1852, Web
ster retired, in September, to Marsh
field, his beautiful estate, at which
place he always found 80 much rest
and comfort from his ardnous labors
The thought probably never occurr.
ed to him that he had but few weeks
to live, but he was only at Marshfield
q few days when he took his bed.
As he lay there, looking out on
small pond, he requested that lantern
be lighted and hoisted at night to the
mast head Of a little boat that rode in
the pond, and that the flag be hoisted
under it. This was done, and when
free from pain he lay looking wit b
great pleasure at them.
~ want to keep my flag flying and
my light burning until die, he said.
One Of the last objects his eyes fell on
was this flag, lighted by his masthead
lantern. His last words were: 81 still
live.u
Webster still lives in the minds Of
the people as the nations greatest
oiator, who first gave adequate ex-
preston to the patriotic fervor Of his
people. He lived in days OF discord
and growth he felt the pulse of matur-
ing life, and he gave expression to the
higher thoughts which the rough old
patriots who preceded him could not
express, but had fought for. He ex-
pounded the constitution as no 9th er
man could.
Webster was lawyer and states
man, but first Of all he was man of
heart, who felt in his BOSOM the ten
derest emotions, through the gift Of
sympathy and golden speech. He could
move men to tears at will, and SO re.
sponsive was his own nature he some
times went with those whose sy mpa-
thies he aroused.
as a lawyer Webster was the stud
eut's hero. AS statesman h e belongs |
to the country's galaxy of great men.
AS an orator he ranks with those of |
ancient Greece. As man he vas
human and vibrant. AS an American
he was a noble type.
