actually appear to bo growing moro and
'ft moro credulous.
Tho inspirational humbug called up a
procession of spirits who had friends
among tho audience, and hIio was minute
In her descriptions; but tho friends in
tho audiencoiad no desiro to recognize
old acquaintances and they did not
stioak as iji spirits paused by. It was
touching to Bee, or rather to hear about,
these apparitions pleading for a word in
vain and boing turned out into tho night
without a sign of recognition. Aftor
tho spirits had mado their unsuccessful
visitation Mrs. Harvey called for articles
such as huts, gloves, etc., and proceeded
to delineate tho character of tho own

groat success in life of tho gentleman
whoso hat sho hold, of his wonderful
mental powor, and of his good qualities
generally, and when sho asked the own-
Sior to come forward, a gangling youth,
Lytvlth a lifo sized smirk, appeared. Ho
' hud tho grace to say that her description
fit him wbb correct. In very many cuhvb
who was told1 that she wiib entirely
wrong; but that didn't seem to worry

This subject lias been much debated in

mid men have naturally come to allow
women to set up tho moral standards in
tho various walks of life. In any society
the moral tono Ib what the women, not
tho moil, make it. If tho women relax,
men tako down tho bars. If they stand

"Every Juno commencement of tho

the color the fact remains that the black

change that is most delightful. Gold or

cut up now goods in this fashion is a sin

pertinent inquiry, "How much?"
In fact, in millinery and the prevailing
modes in dress an individuality and
