CROWNS FOR THE CHARMING.

Novel Headgbab eob Pretty Girlb Who Wish to Look Prettier. The latest in the way of millinery novelities is a leather bonnet, much resembling those of last year, made of kit. These new head covering might really hail i’rom the saddler's shop but that they are most of them decorated with pompons, feathers and the like. The colors of the feathers are terra ootta. A few of thejbonoetg are appropriately trimmed with delicately out leather lace in various de signs, and the only oharm about them is that which consistency imparts. Leather lace is also a noveiy. It has not met with the favor that pack thread lace did. It is not as course or UQpliable as one might imagine, and it hae been used abroad, combined with plush lace and velvet, for trimming fancy articles and also for dress trimmings. Charming littlo opera hoods are made of lace, black or white, lined with a qjilted satin oi some other bright color. They are fashioaed like a child’s hood, with a lined cape of the lace to protect the throat. The row of lace upon the head falls in a neglige manner over the hair end fore head. It fastens under the chin, with ribbons of satin matching the hue of the lining When lace is not desired, white or pale tinted satin is embloyed, with aHbordering of white plush, or, better still, a trimming of white ermine, with pelerine a muff to match, lined with rose oolor or light blue. Wide, strpight-brlmaed sailor hats of plush or velvet, having the crowns completely covered with short, fluffy ostrloh tips, are very much worn by young girls in their teens. The most stylioh round hats are tip-tilted over the forehead, the and the oddlooking PhrygflHfeap being favoritiea. Yarmouth, Nova Sootia, has a witty and wide-a wake Presbyterian elder of pronounced Scotch antaceden a, who, although a persistent advocate of the “Westminister Confession,” will occbsionaly, for convenience sake and from an innate love of social religious Intercourse, attend the meet* ingsof ' is Methodist brethren. At a recent prayer meeting of the' latter body of Christians that was held as preparatory to centennial service in commemoration of the progress of Methodism in Nova Scotia, the presiding minister dwelt eloquent - ly upon the wonderful growth and prosperity of the Methodist Church, and its greatj|founder, John Wesley. He also expressed thankfulness that to- day thore were a hundred and nine Methodist ministers in Nova

Scotia. The meeting thus very naturally assumed a denominational character, and the minister asked our good Presbyterian brother te lead in prayer at tne close. The elder eomplied, and after thanking the Lord for the many good things he had just heard “about this branch of Zion,” he added wi h much depth of feeling. “O Lord, we thank Thee for John Wesley, but we thank Thee especially for John Knox; we thank thee for the huu dred and nine Methodist ministers in our country, but we especially thank Thee for the hundred and thirteen Presbyterian ministers who are preaching the Word of life throughout eur land. Amen,”

Presbyterianism will net lose any luster by that earnest elder, even in a Methodist prayer meeting.
