CHAPTER XIV (Continued.) That afternoon Maude strolled ont into the ground-?. She wandered up one of the grassy vistas through the sea of laurels. until she arrived at a pond a pond all covered with great largs-loaved water lilies : and by the edge of that pond Maude sat down, and, resting her head on her hand, began to think. It was one of those warm sunshiny day we are occasionally bh-ssed with in April. She thought very sadly of the life before her. Of course it was her duty to save Glinn to her parent. Why was duty always made so hard in this world? Ah! It was cru?! of Gron to tell her hf lov?d her just when th?y wer to separate forever. M&udfc slop: she dreamt ; and she pictared to herself that she was drowning in some big lake ; she was going down down ever so far, and suddenly fhe clasped a spar of feme kind, and felt that he was saved. Then a big brown man with fierce rod eyes threatened her and strmk at her. and Just as she was alout to let go, the big brown man suddenly vanished, and Grenvill Rtse stood in hi place, ca tischt her by the hand, and drew her to him. She fell into hU arms ; arid as he bent over he kissed her. Mande sat up. and turned over her dream in her mind. It cheered her. She thought it foretold the triumph of Gren over Pearman, and everything all light and sunshine for the future. But Sam Pearman, in the meanwhile, loses no time in prosecuting his suit. Diffidence is not one of his failings, und in such mock courtship as this there is little fear of the result. Before a week had gone by he was formally engaged to Maude Denison, and the discussion of when the wedding shall take place is preeminent between the high contracting parties. Maude listens, and assents to everything in a quiet, listless way. She treats her betrothed vith calm courtesy, but avoid all occasion of being left alone with him. So far, Sam Pearman can boast of receiving but scant favors from the hands of his bride-elect. Her cheek is as yec innocent of his caresses, and a warm pressure of the hand the extent of his achievements. No news not a sign of Grenville Rose; and wearily Man commenced going through all the o-cU.al of preparing the trousseau. They w;re to be married the first week in May. Bat one morning & groom came over In hot haste from Mannersley with a few lines for the squir? from Sam Pearman, to say that his father was dead. The on had told them a day or two before that the old nam v.as ailing, but had had no idea that there was much the matter. Three or four days illness, then inflammation set in, and old lawyer Pearman was gone to his rest. That ancient fisher would never angle more, and Samuel, his son, reigned in his stead. Put off the wedding, Nell, for a month or two, of course, said the squire, as he broke the news to hu wife. "Otherwise it's perhaps for the best. I can't pretend to feel any intense grief about old Pearman, and his departure leaves 8am end Maude all free to enter upon Mannersley at once." Mrs. Denison showed a wisdom on the occasion seldom evinced. She said nothing, for the simple reason she had nothing to ssy. , Ar for Sem Pearman, he bore his bereavement with tolerable composure. "orry for the old father, he muttered. "He was a clever man, every bit of him. He could play with these swells, and f macage 'em in a way nobody else I ever saw could. lie was very good to me, too. always. I shall never have the head be ad if I live a hundred years. Lucky 1 don't want it. Then he fell into a brown study. "Yes, put my marriage off a bit hum! How lucky Coriander is entered in my name for the Two Thousand, and not his. Fancy his being disqualified, after the trial of last week! CnAPTEIi XV. Grenville Rose, to speak metaphorically, has been paddling his skiff through troubled waters of late. Maude's short wobegone little note of dismissal, and his aunt's indignant letter, were far from pleasant reading to a man as much entangled as he was in the love-god's meshes, ne sat and sulked he sat and thought. They all ended in the same conclusion, that Pearman would marry his darling Maude, and that he was, and ever should be, utterly miserable. Anathematizing, with an impartiality quite beautiful to witness, everything and everybody, Mr. Rose once more erters his Itting room in pursuit of breakfast. He unfolds the Times. Again, as a preliminary, does he ascertain the extreme firmness of Coriander in' the betting quotations for the Tw Thousand. Not that Silky Dallison's te;d at Greenwich is any object to him tow he 1$ too miserable to enter into su'.h things; but he might as well read about that as anything else. Why does the supplement, which he never dreams of looking at. tumble so persistently across his plate? "Let's have a look at the second column," he mutters, "and see whether 'X Y ZV family are still in tribulation about hU absence; or whether 'Pollaky is offering his usual hundred for an absconded young lady, aged nineteen, good-looking, and wi,v a rose in her bonnet last seen etc. 'Births' hum! don't see much good in them. There one? myself, I suppose; nice unlucky beggar's advent to put in the papers. 'Marriages ! Suppose I shall see hers before many weels are ovr. 'Deaths!' I feel that's more in my line Just now. I hope there's a good lot of 'em. How I should like to add one or two to the column more particularly one. Halloa! what's this? 'At Mannersley, after a very few days' illnets. In the seventy-second year of his age, Samuel Pearman, Esq.' Wish it had been his son ! muttered Grenville; and then he sat down to think whether this could by any possibility influence his prospect in any way. It is hard to believe that there is no such thing as destiny. It is nln'ost ludicrous at times to thick what a trivial incident has turned the whole current of our lives. There is a large and w!lknown tp?cuiator on the turf at this time a man, doubtless, worth many ingots and much stock and security whose money-making career dates from the presentation of a case of razor, according to popular report. Who ran say? Many such an instance might be quoted. Grenville Rose's life turned on reading the supplement of the Tiras. it may be said by acciden, that particular morning. I fancy no human being ever saw that enerally light-hearted barrister thinking so hard as he was upon this occasion. He has won many a good cause since, but ofren laughs and says, "that was the biggest he was ever engaged in; and no solicitor to draw up the brief, mind. "All!" he said at last, "I can almost rtvear I saw it. I recollect laughing over it at the time, and thinking what a quaint, queer old deed it was. Suppose I'm Tight I wonder how it would affect things? I must go over and talk to Dallicon a bit." And while Grenville Rose crosses the Temple Gardens, let me say a few words ctot Georgt Dallison. He comes athwart the lores of Grenville and Mauds but for a fv days. Yet he is dtit-ed to be the master c the situation of that eventful period. George Dallison is a barrister ome two cr three years senior to Rose.

e

for a SMART Wit e e lie has a fair income of his own, and has betaken himself to the elucidation of the mysteries of the turf. Rather below th middle height, with large liquid hazel eyes, a slight almost effeminate figure, feet and hands that would be no disgrace to a woman, and a soft voice, nothing could be more deceptive in appearance than Silky Dallison. Iiis low, languid tones and caressing manner had earned him that sobriquet at college. It had stuck to him ever since. Destitute of whisker, a slight soft brown moustache just shading his upper lip; l!the, supple, almost girlish in appearance such was George Dallison. Few men of his age rode straighter and steadier over a country than he; while Tattersall's had arrived at the conclusion that, though he might look young, nobody threw his money away much less than Silky IaIlison. When, in his languid manner, he was willing to take a thousand to thirty about any horse's chance, it had a chance a good deal more than, as a rule, can be predicated of the animals about which such very long odds are to be obtained. "Come in," was the response to Hose's sharp knock, and Dallison was discovered placidly consuming a. French novel in the easiest of armchairs. Xo greater sybarite perhaps ever existed; yet on Newmarket Heaxa, he would wait the day through wind and elf et, to back the "good thing," he had journeyed from London expressly for, and return to town without a murmur, if such had turned out the delusive phantom too usual on such occasions. "Oh, Grenville, charmed to see you ! Take a chair and talk. It's not a bad novel," he observed, as he threw the yellow colored volume on the table ; "but I've had more than enough of it, and myself for the present. News! Ah, Gren, if you have any, unfold thy short, and, I trust, moving tale." "Thanks! I want to talk to you a bit on business reason I'm here," said Rose. "Shouldn't come to you on a point of law, 'Silky,' but this happens to be a bit of racing." "You racing! What do you mean?" "Have you sen oldV Pearman'a death in the paper?" yes," rejoined Dallison. "You're thinking of Coriander makes no difference, you know horse entered in the son's name." "Suppose, Silky, I could show you that that horse couldn't start without my consent, or something like it?" "Come, old fellow, no gammon. I'm on him for the Derby, and am only waiting to hedge my money till he's won the Two Thousand." "Look here, Dallison; I know nothing about the turf, and have come to you to manage a great game between young Pearman and myself. Will you do so? Of course you can take care of yourself in the transaction. I can tell you nothing for certain as yet. Will you manage the turf part of the business while I work the legal machinery? As my Idea of the case stands at present, I tell you fairly, I think Coriander's starting for the Guineas will be at the option of. myself and clients; but I may be mistaken." "Do you advise me to hedge now, then?" taid Silky Dallison. "Certainly not. I know nothing about the turf, but if I am right in my conjecture, the management of Coriander in the market will be, for the benefit of my clients, in your hands before a few days are over. Will you say nothing till I see you again, and give you, as I hope, the reasons why?" "You say I'm to be your agent if it Is as you think it. I'll ask no questions ; but as you know nothing about that great elaborate system of gambling, yclept racing if, as you think, you've any control over Coriander, don't whisper it to your carpet-bag till you've seen me again. I say this honestly, with a view to doing my best for you. Bring me your case when you've worked It out, and I'll tell you what to do." "Many thanks, old fellow! Im off to Hampshire to-night. I shall be back the day after to-morrow, though perhaps late. It will be all decided then. I'm playing for a good deal bigger stake than you. Silky the girl I love and something to start housekeeping on." "Ah," returned Dallison, "I like that: if you've got the first stake on, you're playing in earnest. I am still all in the dark ; but if you see your way to winning the first, I'll bet you two to one, knowing nothing about it, I win enough for you to start housekeeping on." That very night, just as they were meditating bed. a loud ring startled the denizens of Glinn. The advent of Grenville Rose seemed to the servants a matter of course thing. They immediately commenced preparation of his usual room. His uncle also was glad to see him, but to Mrs. Denison and Maude the thing was past comprehension. As for Grenville, he seemed perfectly callous shook hands with his aunt, audaciously kissed his cousin, accompanying it by a pressure of the hand and a whisper, the combination of which sent the blood to the very roots of Maude's hair. Then he devoted himself in a most prosaic manner to some cold boiled beef and pickles, pertinaciously sat the ladies out, and as he handed them their candles, whispered to Maude : "Hope for us yet, darling!" "Now, uncle," be said, "I want you to come with me to your study. You recollect that old box of deeds and papers you let me rummage through two years back, when I went so deep into heraldry, and spent a good bit of time tracing the family genealogy?" "Yes, my boy ; but you don't mean to say you've come down upon us like a whirlwind in this way to continue that somewhat vexatious pursuit?" Grenville said no more till he was duly ensconced in the squire's sanctum, with the box containing those musty papers open by his side. "Now, uncle," he resumed, "I shall probably have to work for two or threa hours through these old parchments before I arrive at the rue I want. Of course I don't expect you to remain while I do so, but before you go to bed would you mind answering me two or three questions? You've always been very kind to me; Glinn, indeed, has been my home almost as long as I can recollect. My father and mother died when I was so youcg, that you and my atfnt have almost Ktood in their place to me." "Well, Gren, we've always been fond of you, nad glad to have you here. But what are you driving at?" "Will you bear with me patiently tonight, even if I offend you? Will you wait tijl to-morrow, and hear then what I have to say before you decide about what I shall, perhaps, ask you to do for me i "What on earth are you making mysteries about? Not much use asking help from me, Gren; I'm about broke myself. You're in Borne money scrape, I suppose?" Most of the squire's own scrapes having arisen from that proliSc source, he naturally guessed his nephew must have involved himself similarly. "No, uncle, it's not that. I love Maude, and want to marry her." No words can paint Harold Denison's face at this last announcement. That there should be love-passages between Grenvilie and his daughter had never en

tered his head; and what could the young idiot mean by coming and telling him so now? He must know she was engaged to Pearman. "Do you?" he said at length. In his most cynical manner. "That's a little unlucky, because she's about to marry somebody else. I fancied that you must have heard so.' "You mean Pearman? Yes, I have heard that." "Oh, you have? May I a?k what particular inducements you have to offer, that you think 't prcbable Maude will break off the prrspect of a good match in your behalf? You may have achieved ;nie unexampl.d success in your profession ; I can only regret that I am as yet in ignorance of it." "You only sneer at me, and I am talking in earnest," said Grenville, biting his lips. (To be continued.)

MISS ANT'S TOILET. She' Fniar and Clean and Alwar Inrriri Traveling Set. Injects are usually connected with umleanllness in the minds of most persons, yet many insects are extremely neat in their personal habit?. The ant performs a scrupulous toilet every day. She uses brushes, combs, sponges and other Implements in keeping herself Tidy and never fears misplacing them, since nature lias eoavenlently attached I hem in permanent positions on her body. A 1io1m"' ant was never seen, for the insect hates dirt like a Dutch housewife. Working in the earth inevitably fowls her person, but she takes a wash and a rub down so often that few particles of foreign matter cling long to her hairy self. One of the ant's toilet implements Is the tongue, says Dr. II. C. McCook.'ln Harper's Magazine. Around the sides of this organ curves a series of hard rid ires which make it suitable for use as both uponge and brush. Ants lick themselves clean with their tongues, like dogs and cats. The natural comb on the leg is another important toilet Implement. It Is on the tibia and has n short handle, a stiff back and sixtyfive elastic teeth. It Is a fine-toothed comb and ther3 is a coarse-toothed comb of forty-five teeth on the leg. right opposite. There are other combs in handy positions, as the serrated upper Jaws, through which the ant may draw her legs and so clean them. Also the month secretes a liquid which niixht be compared to hair tonic and which is rubbed on the members drawn through the mandibles. Ants wash about the same as human beings, before beginning the day's work or retiring to sleep, or when the accumulation of dirt makes them uncomfortable. Sometimes an ant quits In the midst of a busy stunt of nest building, leaves her fellow workers and goes off In a corner to clean herself. She combs and brushes diligently until she feels that she is la a decent state, and then rejoins her laboring companions. A study of the toilet process In artificial nests with glass sides shows how thorough and conscientious the Insect is In her personal care. There are numberless attitudes during the process. When cleaning the head and fore part of the body the ant often sits upon the two hind legs nnd turns the head to oue side. The fore leg Is raised and passed over the face, while the head is slowly turned to expose bot Fides to treatment. The opposite leg may be brought Into use. For combing the back hair the head Is dropped low and the leg comb sweeps through the tufts of hair from the neck forward. At intervals the leg Is drawn through the Jaws to moisten or wipe ofT the comb. Odd positions are taken to clean the aMomen and the stinging organs. The body may be bent In a semicircle ; sometimes an acrobatic ant will suspend herself by the hind legs to get the abdomen In a convenient position. Frequently one or two anis will perform friendly toilet olhVcs for a fellow insect, who gratefully reclines while it Is being scrubbed and combed. DREW SHIP TO ITS DOOM. Steel Steamship Wrecked on 3Iaff netto Shore of Lapland. Thattheseacoast's magnetic influence drew his stout ship to Its rugged ironrlbled shore Is the explanation of Capt Keldle of the wrecking of the British steamer Sandal, which was lost on the coast in question, and has made an atlldavlt embodying the foregoing statement The affidavit Is on file with the Hoard of Trade In England, says the New York Evening Mall. Not only does the commander of the Sandal attribute the loss of his vessel wholly to the magnetic Influence of Lapland, but Joseph Newmarch, first mate of the wrecked vessel, swears to a personal knowledge, gained by many years' experience in that region, of the magnet-like qualities of the coast which holds the bones of the Sandal. Loaded with timber, which she took aboard at Archangel, in the White Sea, Russia, the Sandal was bound to the Tyne Kiver, Kngland. Capt. Keldle said : "I am convinced that nothing could have saved the Sandal. The particular part of Lapland where she struck I have since found composed of Iron and other powerful magnetic ores, and I am equally positive that the magnetic attraction disturbed our compasses and drew us steadily landward. The weather wag hazy at the time." Mate Newmarch said that for an hour before the ship struck It was impossible to keep her on her course; that her head kept yawning In the direction of the land, and that. In his opinion, the stranding was caused by the attraction of the land. Controlled Iy Combine. There Is a trust In fuller's earth, with the final process known only to one or two persons, whose Hps are rigidly sealed. The deposits of fuller's earth exist chiefly at Hath and Nottinghamshire, England, and at Maxtou, in Scotland. In addition to deioslts In the Ixmdon district. The industry Is practically controlled by a combine which strictly preserves the methods of preparation of the earth. The Raaenee of m Urntleman, The gentleman Is the man who Is master of himself, who respects himself and makes others respect him. The essence of a gentleman la eternal selfrole.

Don't Itrenk Down. There would not be so many wornout, faggeddooking women If we learned early the value of that ounce of prevention. With most of us prevention is like thunder it comes after the danger is past. So much of the misery of life is preventable that it Is pitiful how rarely the effort is made. We lose our look, break down before our time, and either are snuffed out altogether, or hang on creaking hinges when we should be in the full flush of living. Most women act as If tbey were fatalists what must be, must be. Thon they groan when the inevitable occurs instead of living up to the true fatalist spirit of stoicism. Perhaps you are oue of the persons who never takes any rest. You look on life as a race to be run, forgetting that the strongest runner goes slow until the finish. Have you the foolish idea that to stop a minute to read the papers or to dip Into a, famous book Is stealing tLne that should be devoted to husband ir children? Are you charitable to every one hut yourself, and look upon letting up in your mad pace as shirking. Are you one of those misguided beings who think monotonous plodding is duty, and crush out young longings for an occasional matinee or social outing lest you fall in some chimerical duty? If so, readjust things. Learn to look on these things as "that ounce of prevention'' without which smashups are inevitable. It is continual plodding that not only makes life stale, but brings wrinkles and narrow minds. Do you ever stop to think what a breakdown means? How many of the coveted pleasures or longed-for rests could have been had for the doctor's hire? Occasional flight from the grind is better than skilled specialists to keep one well, which is the sensible modern woman's reading of "that ounce of prevention." To Keep Home Happy. Learn to govern yourself. Do not expect angelic qualities in your helpmate. Beware of the first disagreement. Also of meddlers and tale-bearers. Never retort in anger. It is the answer which usually begins the quarrel. Avoid moods and pets and fits of sulklness. Never conceive a bad motive if a good one be possible. When the opportunity occurs for kind speeches make tbeni Do not neglect duties which affect the comfort of others. Remember that speech is excellent, but silence Is sometimes more valuable. lie gentle but firm with children. Do not furnish boys and girls with too much pocket mouey; make them understand the value of a dollar. Do not say anything in their presence which you do not wish repeated. Beware of correcting them in an angry or petulant manner. Never allow them to stay away from home overnight without knowing where they are. Sylph bookers made In the princess foim are designed of crepo d chine, with narrow lace headings laced with ribbons. Thes are worn with elaborate evening toilettes. They are not nlways white; quite often they are made with white silk and. while scant, are elaborately trimmed. As walking skirts are still worn short, one can afford to turn up the lower edge of the skirt where the material has been cut by wearing at least half an inch. This will make the bottom of the skirt look fresh and new and will not make the average skirt of last season too short for the present styles. It is quite the fashion to trim the upper part of a satin empire gown with a spray of Ivy leaves. This Is part of the Napoleonic era In clothes. The modern ivy leaf, us It is worn today, is of black satin or velvet, usuJ ally the former. A spray of them In different sizes Is worn over the right shoulder, some resting on the top of the ami. This Is in keeping with the popular fashion of using a startling decoration on one arm and shoulder that is not repeated on the other. Kat Only When Hungry. A prolific cause of chronic indigestion is eating from habit and simply because it Is meal time ami others are eating. To eat when not hungry is to eat without relish, and food taken without relish is worse than wasted. Without relish the silivary glands da not .act. the p.istrie tluuls are not frcvly secreted nnd the best of foods will Dot bo digested. Many perfectly harmless, dishes are severely condcimuHl for no other reason than that they were given iK-rfuiK-torily and without relish and due insalivation. TUe :N -vr Typ-. There is the new tyie. The "distinguished-looking' men and women of slight build, wilh small heads, hands and feet, and with delicate features, are seldom met with now. They are being rapidly replaced by thick-set men and women, with massive beads, huge hands and feet, coarse-featured, nnd having a broad mouth with thick Hps. Is it that nature is providing for the Increased wear and tear of life, or that circumstances are removing those constructed on the old pattern? Ixmdon Truth. l'e Cotton Ilnnilncra. Cotton Is better for bandages than linen nnd "ts cheapness brings it within the reach of the possessor of the most limited, means. No household should te without a supply of cheese-

cloth for such purposes, and it should be burned and never used but once. The linen formerly used foT bandages absorbs the albuminous serum in burns and skin diseases of more or less moist nature, keeps the surface dry and causes pain; also absorbs the fatty substances employed In the dressings and interferes with their action on the skin.

War Acrainnt Hatpin. A- campaign against the murderous hatpin has been Instituted by the newspapers of Deri in in view of a series of accidents which have already occurred during the busy period of Christmas shopping. Numbers of more or less serious injuries have been caused by these dangerous implements protruding from the huge hats of fashionable ladies. Last week a lady was permanently blinded in one eye when taking part In a rush at-a "bargain sale' Two days later a lift attendant at a neighboring shop had his face so badly injured that it was necessary to take him to a hospital. Many cases of scratched faces are reported from many quarters. London Daily Mail. Stunning I-ancheon Gown. Broadcloth of the finest texture In a delightful shade of Copenhagen blue made the gown from which above Illustration was taken and which was unusually smart in appearance. The line just above knee marks the tunic, running from back to foot of skirt in front. There is a generous train and a little bolero effect on the bodice opens over a charming chemisette of embroidered white mousseline. Blatte soutache braid is used on jacket and sleeves, the latter formed entirely of deep circular tucks and a band of black satin edges the jacket next the chemisette. Two black satin-covered buttons effect a closing at bust line. With this charming hat is worn a fur hat of white fox with long boa to match, the hat adorned with a gorgeous bird of paradise. Dont'a for Dinner. Don't mix sets. Guests should have congenial interests. Don't put the two brightest people together. Don't put a man next to his wife, or on the same side of the table. Don't have nervous maids. Don't fail to be ready and in the drawing room five minutes before the time.' Don't confide any of your nervous anticipations to your husband. Don't fall to overlook the table In detail before guests arrive. Count the flat silver at each plate. Don't allow conversation to be entirely between couples. Make it general at times. Transparent Sleeve. It Is rare to see a sleeve that is lined these days unless it is of rough cloth as a part of the waist fabric. Transparent sleeves are everywhere. They are of net, chiffon, filet, tulle and lace and are worn on cold days In the street under a coat. They are continuously transparent, however, even In the house when the coat is removed. Added to their thinness and this is the point will be strips of the thickest fur to weigh them down. A Valuable Tip. Here is a tip for making the lingerie waist wear better than is its wont which Is worthy of the consideration of the home dressmaker. When a quantity of insertion is used upon a blouse the lace should be reinforced with a strip of net set In under it. Any kind of wash net of good quality will answer the purpose. It can be sewn on with the lace or afterward by hand. A llouaekeeplni; Hint. The housekeeper who cannot afford a covered garbage pail of zinc can hide the uusightllness of her leftovers by an improvised cover. This can be made of a big bushel or half bushel fruit basket, turned upside down and reatly pasted with oik-loth, which can easily be kept clean. The largest ?ize of screw hook is fastened in the bottom, rather the inverted top, for a handle. Correctetl. Married men. says a weekly pajHT, commit suicide more frequently than bachelors. With all respect for our contemporary's correctness, we doubt whether any man, married or single, commits suicide very often. Once or twice, perhaps, but not, as it were, as a hobby. London (J lobe. nrokrn-Donn Teacher. Miss Elizabeth Allen announced at the New Jersey Teachers' Association that a fund of $100,000 had been choired for broken-down teachers "who ea; not find husbands." The teachers greeted the statement with great applause. A lo 1'Irtiire Hanging. Women who have crazy quilt walls, with the pictures hung In medley fashion all over It by Invisible wires, will be interested to know that art dealers are

trying to overcome the bad effect by asking permission for their men to hang the pictures, and these men will also make suggestions about other pictures on the walls. It is no longer considered good taste to use the invisible wire, chains or heavy wire taking its place. The dealers say that as soon as people begin to use the chaius or heavy wires they will immediately go to the opposite extreme and want something like a rope for a picture hanger.

Daily's Weight. At one year old. baby should weigh twenty and one-half pounds. If healthy, the gain should be just six pounds the next year. At three the weight should be thirtyope pounds, and at four years thirtyfive pounds. The normal baby will weigh fortyone pounds at five, nnd forty-five pounds at the age of six years. During the next four years up to ten the weight should bo forty-nine and one-half, fifty-four and one-half, sixty and sixty-six and one-half pounds. If baby has kept close to his average, the chances for continued good health are bright. FVMFThere Is a rage now for cream white suits, worn with hat and accessories o nut brown. Mousseline voiles will be faddish this season and will be made Into very stylish evening robes. Frocks may be buttoned down the front as well as the back. Fashion has suddenly become most liberalminded in that respect. Bridal dresses have been chiefly remarkable during the last few months for the marvelous laces with which they have been trimmed. The black sash, with bow and ends at the side, is worn even with the separate waist and skirt, although preferably not with the plain tailored waist. Black velvet bonnets are flourishing In the land; big and little, simple and elaborate, but black velvet. There Is also a hint of the poke In spring millinery. J The full line of the neck Is shown and when the long neck is not natural the collar Is placed low upon the bodice and fits well under the ears and chin. Color embroidery on white, black,, cream and ecru will be much used, as well as white on color. Most of the embroidery seen now in the shops is machine made. The separate waist and skirt has almost disappeared from view. The onepiece princess dress is taking its place. This princess style means curves and a waist again. The long, tight skirt is giving way, for walking purposes, to the short, tight skirt, worn with a long and much-braided coat, the whole costume being often trimmed at hem and wrists with fur. Employed more for evening than day wear are the deep, rich shades. The reason for this reversal of oldtime custom Is that these tints are so successful in setting off a beautiful neck and arms. The Crusader's hemlet Is the very latest thing in millinery. Fair votaries of fashion in quest of new sensations in toilet have gone back several centuries to medieval times, borrowing the garb of monks and crusaders. The new helmet headgear, herewith pictured, is built of rough hemp straw. The crown Is dyed bright green, while the brim, which is cut up alike in the back and front, is of dead black. Square, broad top and stiff cleft brim have the appearance of being held together by nails with rough finished, barbaric looking heads of iron, copper and hammered brass. Large jet eabochons sometimes, take the places of the metallic heads. A fine large igret of green rises straight up at one side of the front. Rut, bnt Exercise. It will be good news to the stout woman to know that what she eats Is now thought to have little to do with obesity, and that if enough exercise Is taken, even a fleshy woman may eat what she wants, m To half-starve oneself means to look haggard and altogether unlovely. Don't drink while eating, even water. Don't drink alcoholic stun? at any time. I'rrnalire Set of Teeth. A month-old baby with a full set of nnall but perfectly developed teeth caused a sensation at a recent meeting of the Vienna Medical Society. The premature appearance of teeth has been known before, but in this case the child is normal in the development of bones and hair and in nutrition, a healthy boy of normal parentage, and the doctors are at a loss to explain the twenty fine teeth. For Falling Hair. Half an ounce of camphor with one ounce of borax dissolved in a quart of water, preferably rain water, makes a very ellicaclous wash for falling hair. Heat the water before adding the camphor and borax, as this will facilitate the dissolving of the ingredients. Bottle and keep closely corked for use.

Stream Purification Dill. The House, by a vote of 47 to 23, concurred in the Senate amendment to the McGiusis stream purification bill, passed by the House February 4, and by the Senate February 23. MeGinnis declared the amendment satisfactory to him as author of the measure. Smith opposed its passage on the grounds that it added to the rrivilege of municipalities to contract bonded indebtedness. The bill puts the supervision of the streams of the State in the hands of the State Board of Health. It provides that on complaint of any local board of health, county commissioners, city councils, or township trustee, that a stream is being polluted by a municipality or any private corporation, notice shall be served on the party against whom complaint is made, and a hearing held before the State loard. If the board rules against the party defendant the board shall order that the iollutIon cease and fix a time within which the order must be obeyed. If the ruling is not satisfactory, the alleged offender may appeal to a board of sanitary engineers, composed of one engineer selected by the board, one selected by the defendant and a third by these two. Still further appeal may be had to the courts from the board of sanitary engineers. DIU rasned Against Professional Jurors. The House Saturday passed a bill that is expected to go far toward purifying and reforming the present jury system in ths courts. It was Serial or Harlan's bill, which provides that when there are vacancies on a jury, the jury commissioners shall draw names to fill such vacancies. This Is Intended to do away with the old practice of filling vacancies by picking up bystanders and placing them In the jury box. Under the old system that has been followed for many years, professional jurymen have become a serious evil. It was with reform in view that the Harlan bill was introduced. Supporters of this bill believe the professional juryman will be eliminated by it, and that the Jury will come nearer to being a real Jury. It was pointed out that a corporation or other litigant could have a number of henchmen in the courtroom while a Jury was being selected, and from these bystanders it would be easy enough to fill the jury box with men who favored one side of the case. Faee Court DHU Over Veto. Three court bills vetoed by Governor Marshall were passed over the veto by the Senate. The Linton court bill, which has attracted the attention of the entire State, owing to the charges regarding methods pursued in obtaining its passage, was called up by Senator Bland, its author, and passed by a vote of 20 to 13. The Garry court bill was also passed by a vote of 29 to 15,. but the bill giving Morgan and Clay counties separate circuit courts and Joining Putnam and Owen counties, barely slipped throjgh by one vote. Senator Moore's vote gave the measure a constitutional majority, 2G. Twenty-one votes were registered against the measure. These vetoed bills must also be passed by the House before becoming laws. Bntter Bllla Introduced. Two bills introduced in the House at the request of the State Dairymen's Association, are designed to protect the consumer from imitation and made-over" butter by oiniclling 'dealers to label the product In such a manner; as to enable the purchaser to know Just what he Is buying. The plan prescribed in the bill concerning oleomargarine, introduced by Clore, Is to cause all such foodstuff to be labeled either in the case or in the mass. The second bill, provides like labeling "renovated"' and "process" butter, or butter "made over" from packing stock. Both bills were drawn by H. E. Barnard, State food and drug commissioner. Local Option' Repeal KUIei. After two days of almost constant wrangling over the county local option repeal bill, the Senate fiually killed the measure by 20 to 23. In the discussion before the vote was taken some of the Senators came almost to blows and charges and countercharges of unfairness were heard on all sides. The galleries, lobbies and aisles of the Senate chamber were crowded with ministers working against repeal, and the brewery and saloon representatives working for it, but while the vote was being taken the silence was oppressive. Twenty-four Republicans and two Democrats voted against the repeal bill and 20 Democrats and 2 Republicans voted for it. Release rrtaonera on Bond. The House has passed the Senator Stotsenburg bill, which provides that when a person Is convicted and sentenced to prison under a charge not punishable, by death, he may furnish a bond for bis appearance and remain out of prison while his appeal to the higher court is pending.
