ncgre brown as rival. But when
the s"ason gets into full swing, so
comes the news from the fashion
centers, black velvet will carry every
thing before it.. Turbans and sailors
and tall stovepipes will add another
element to the becomingness of shape
and that is becomingness of material,
for the soft luster of black velvet is
generally wearable. One beauty Of
black velvet is that it is self-trimming
and can be disposed of with very
little garniture at the same time that
it makes a very lovely background
for a mass of flowers or feathers
Black velvet is largely combined with
black satin.
For material hats of the earlier sea-
son there are many attractive models
in taffeta, moire, faille and satin,

that are not forbidden by our laws,
as her favorites are. Thus there has

ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

Alfred Henry Lewis, the widely
known newspaper and magazine Writer
who died in New York, had career
worth the having. He was given a
splendid education to start with and
a license to practice law. He was
given also something out in life, towit:
an absolutely empty pocketbook. TAX
ing Greeleys advice to ge west and
grow up with the country, he followed
the setting sun, and his first work was
as a potato peeler and dishwasher in
restaurant. He was afterward pro-
NOTED to ap osition as waiter, and in
this way was thrown in contact with
the characters which he afterwards
so graphically described. He became
cowboy later on. Beginning at the
bottom, his restless spirit could moi
remain static, and as ther was only
one way for him to go, and that up
ward, he progressed from success to
success until he became a recognized
factor in international literature. The
mistake that the fond fathers and fond
er mothers make at the present day
is that they start their sons in life at
the top when they can afford to do so,
with the result that, as there is only
one way which they can possibly move
they must ghavitate downward, which
they usually do. Alfred Henry Lewis
was a wonderful writer and was gifted
in an extraordinary degree. He had
been wealthy and had his lines been
cast in pleasant ways, it is not likely
that he would ever have been heard
Scrimitar.
