a marking of white, has been pasted
on. These add a sparkle to the 9th

From the pheasant. probably, the
beautiful, notified feathers shown in
the other hat, were taken. The stand
ing quilts are not changed, except that
they are shortened. The band about
the crown is of small feathers sewed
to a foundation.
Often a long. soft quill takes the
place of a feather band, and is laid
about the brim in the same way as
band. Among the shapes which turn
up at the side or back the mounting
of these quilts and bands is accom-
phshed by making a slit II the brim
and thrusting the quill through this.

er band.
With a world of lovely fancy foath-
ers 10 choose from, there is no good
reason TO lament ones inability TO buy

What Is Taste,

On the whole, it appears to me that
what is called taste. in its most gem
eral acceptation. is not a simple idea.
but is partly made up of a perception
of the primary pleasure of the imagi-
nation, and of the conclusions of the
reasoning faculty, concerning the va
rious relations of these, and concern
Ing the human passions, manners and
actions. All this is requisite to form
taste. and the ground work of all
these is the same in the human mind;
for as the senses are great originals
OF all our ideas, and consequently of
all our pleasures, if they are not I'M
certain and arbitrary, the whole
groundwork of taste is common to all,
and therefore there is sufficient rea-
soning on these matters.-Edmund
Burke.

fearful Monkey.

There is a species of very small
monkey found in the Brazilian forests
which is remarkable for it's gentle
ness and delicate elegance of its ap-
pearance and its almost human con-
duct. Bounding from branch to branch
or from tree to tree, 1t has every APP
pearance of a bird. When hanging
from tree asleep 1t looks like a black
doll. Its dark soft eyes are very large.
its coat is like black velvet trimmed
with satin and dotted with gray beads.

Mr.. Bowser grunted with content
ment, and figured it out that this was
a good world; and
That he was all right; and
That Mrs. BOwSer was all right.
And that everything and everybody
was all right. and the goose hung high.
Then there came a. ring at the bell. Mr.
Bowser answered it in person, as he
was expecting a neighbor to call, ana
as he opened the door he found
rather seedy, middle aged man waiting
to say to him:
My dear sir, 1 want a moment 8
conversation with you on strictly
business affair
He was admitted in a grudging
way and, bringing a rueful smile to
his face and speaking in confidential
tones, he continued:
After Is years of hard work I have
made a failure in business 1 could
swindle my creditors or go into bank
ruptcy, but my conscience will not
permit me. I wish to pay dollar for
dollar. To do so 1 must sacrifice ev-
erything, even to my wife'S jewels.
Here is a diamond ring which I wish
to get rid of and turn the money over
to a heartless creditor who would even
deprive my children of bread. Will
you name a price for it ?'
If it's a straight business failure,
you are not required to sell the shirt
off your back replied Mr. Bowser.
But it's a matter of conscience, you
see. 1 said I'd pay 100 cents on the
dollar and III do it if I have to go
barefoot. Will you show that ring to
vour wife?''
Mr.. Bowser had been gumgamed two
or three times, and was rather suspi
cious. but he took the ring and walked
back to the sitting ROOM
Don't buy it at any price said
Mrs. Bowser as she looked at it, It's
probably some snide affair. and the
man is no doubt a fraud who thinks
to take advantage of your innocence
DO you mean that the man takes
me for a fool on sight?' exclaimed
Mr.. Bowser as ne flashed up

The man entered the hall and opened
a pasteboard box to reveal a diamond
pin reposing on a nest of red cotton.
s.You-you have diamond pin to sell
me?" said Mr.. Bowser in a strange,
hard voice
Yes: 1 thought to keep it from my
creditors but my conscience won't let
me 1t is worth $50; but, owing to
Circumstances
Then Mr.. Bowser jumped on him. The
man of integrity was taken by sur
prise and rolled on the floor, but he
soon recovered, and there was a scrap
that upset the hall tree, tickled the
