Springfield Republican,

If the Young woman connected with
the elopement which Just now cen.
tiers the romantic eyes Of the country
on Springfield said what she is re-
puted as saying she must be dis
corning and right-minded person;
"what is one to say Of a society that
smiles upon the marriage Of Made
line Force and Colonel Aston and
frowns upon my marriage with tho
man / really love? ] am sure ]
am sure haven't command Of words
suficient to express my opinion" And
SO must words fail Others in respect
to the same matter, and particularly
OF the EFFORT Of one Of the New York
to drum up onion IN de-
tense OF the Aston performance which
has gone so far us to bring into the
symposium certain actor OF espec-
Tally offensive renown as q tandem
polygamlst"
Either case affords large room for
conventional morallzlng, but may II
not be well to extend the discussion
a little beyond the accustomed paths
If there Is thdt to admire Ii an clone
nent which shows that the society In
question is not able always to dehum;
anize It's elements. there IS that 70

the natural colored linen slippers,
which, while giving the foot an addi-
tional amount Of comfort by its plia:
BILE and accommodating qualities, also
provides the achievement Of perfect
outing footgear They have the dis.
tinction of being able to be worn =
great number OF times before they
show the effect Of being worn, though
this should not deter the owner from
giving them a stirring good brushing
every day and a Whit with the whisp
broom after walking through the dust.
The ecrui shades Of linen or light
cloths make a good background for
this colored footgear, but they are not
"a bit out OF place with dresses Of
white or any Of the lighter summer
shades; to wear with dresses of nat
ural linen is the preference Of the ma.
iorlty Of the possessors.

Popular Linen eowns.

o.
First and foremost among the
gowns suitable for summer wear come
the frocks of cool, pale-ttnted linens,
since they are practically Of no weight
while they are very refreshing to
look at on the hottest days.
A deliciously cooElooking model is
made of lily.leaf green and adorned
in an effective embroidery worked in
flax thread in combination OF palest
pink and green, with here and there
the Introduction Of ivory white.
A tunic is cut on rather new
shape, very much bigger in the back
than in the front, while the raised
waist line is outlined with soft black
ribbon tied in a smart bow on one
side and finished With fringed ends.
The same embroidery appears on the
bodice, arranged in two points, and
there is a dainty chemisette Of tucked
white net and lace insertion finished
with a narrow touchdown collar OF
lace-edged net.
Half sleeves of the linen have UNI
der them a sleeve Of net and Lace
showing about four inches from the
edge Of the linen sleeves. With this
gown a cool-looking hat of dark green
straw is worn. "A crown band and big
windmill bow of pale green rlOOon
trim 1t, while the sunshade is Of a
pale green linen to match the gown,
Gowns OF soft white nainsooh as
well as those of the more substantial
Irish linens, embroidered deliberately
in floral designs worked with soft
white linen thread, remain first favor

OPINION
SS|S1: ~
PRESIDENT Tsie's veto.
! a
washington HeraId)

No one can read the straightfor
ward and positive expressions Of the
President without feeling that they
are inspired by sincere patriotism.
They must make those who voted for
the resolution pause and consider
They bring the calm logic and exper,
fence Of man who haszhimself been
on the bench, and who added luster
to the judiciary by his service, to the
consideration of a grave question, and
they plainly demonstrate the danger
which turks in the proposed system Of
recall.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
country will support the President IN
his position. The solution of the
problem Is to admit Arizona and New
Mexico without the Objectionable pro
vision. Then, in course Of time, i
Arizona desires to ,engraft the recall
proposition upon rs statutes, it can
do 50. In that case the responsible.
ity is upon its own head. The Pres
ident very properly declines to lend
the weight Of his high office to indors'
ing a system fraught, as he so plain
" demonstrates, with many dangers
and SO destructive to the foundations
upon which our government rests.

Nothing, dear, Of wealth or fame

But in the lilies read Loves name--the
lilies bloom for you!
Here are violets from the wales, roses
trimmed with dew,
And birds that sing like nightingales
and all their songs for you!
And earth grows green before you, the

And the lilies-they adore you, and I

wonder now who wore 1t, II ner eyes
One Easter morn were lifted
Where the lights and shadows drlfted
Over beautiful and all forgotten skies
An ancient Easter bonnet;
Plain, with no dead birds on 1T,
Worn, doubtless, in some violet retreat,
Where Easter bells were ringing
And Easter birds were singing,
The. face beneath it beautiful and

SO simple in its beauty, so austere!
Plain ribbons and a-plenty,
But Mollie's cost me twenty,
And I'll never pay the bill for it, fear

Hin Caster Hllesorye


The Easter boxes tower high
With all their freight Of precious
things,
And she's affoat in Pleasures sky .
Upon those boxes bonnet wings.
She is the Calm, the tender Calm,
A-smiIe in all it's pensive form,
And he appropriates the palm
In earnest as the bowling Storm.
While she is dreaming Of the doves
That give the bonnets nerve and vim
And of tho hyacinthine gloves
That many of those boxes trim
He dreams about the bill and makes
The feathers fly from Sorrows wing;
Then from himself away he breaks,
A very wild and Unframed thing.
Vet they are ono, though uniform
Their dreams are not, It now appears
For she's the Rainbow, he's the Storm,
And she is smiling through his tears.
