The Dresa Suit* The dress suit is after all the badge of the gentleman. The breeding of a man is brought out in it, as no other medium will disclose. At the coach man's ball recently those few tine looking specimens that, in gorgeous livery, grace the box seat that wore dress suits were the most out-of-place and ill-at-ease looking personages in the hull. You cannot put a cad in a dress suit and have him look like any thing but a cad. This is a peculiarity of tho dress suit, and to its adaptability alone, to the anatomy and gentility of the men of the higher grade, does it use its sway and impregnability— Clothier and Furnisher. WAHIIIXO A FINE AlfT. “Ever since spinning was a type ol womanly industry from age to age, ft has been expected that beautiful apparel should clothe women. From the classic robes of Aspasia to the rioh dresses of Elisabeth, and thence to tho wedding gown of Pur itan Priscella we see the attractiveness of dress.” But at this time only has it be come possible for ail women to be becom ingly attired at a small cost, the supply of beautiful inexpensive dress fabrics now to be had, making it aa easy matter. Yet there are women who insist that the ex pense of having summer gowns laundered is greater than the original cost, and that in the end light woolens or summer silks are moro economical. This is a mistaken idea, as washing pretty belongings is a fine art, which is very easy to learn. Any girl no matter how delicately reared can wash I her own summer gown. A bright day, [ plenty of water, ana a little pure soap are the necessary aids in the work. To do it, fill a tnb two-thirds full of warm water, dissolve a fourth of a cake of Ivory Soap, (which will not fade the most delicate colors), add it to the water, wash the gar ments carefully through it, rinse first in clear water, then in blue water, wring, dip in thin starch, hand on the line in the shade. When dry, sprinkle, and iron on wrong side. Eliza R. Parker. What Defendant*!

O'PARRELL, Pension A*ent, 1420 New York Avcnua, WASHINGTON, D.C. t A WRESTLING MATCH. HE village had awakened from its long winter’s sleep. It had shaken off its lethargy and stepped forth into the light and sun shine to take up again life in the free air u ntll the months should speed around and the harsh winds and the snows drive it back to a close kitchen and a stifling stove. The an tiquated saw-mill down by the creek buzzed away with a vim that plainly told that the stream was swollen with the melted snows of the winter just past. The big grist-mill bumped and thumped in deep, melodious tones, as though it were making an effort to drown the rasping, discordant music of Its small but noisy neighbor. The double doors of the store were wide open. Had all the other signs of spring been missing, this fact alone would have indicated to the know ing, if the snow had not melted and the birds not come come back it was high time they did, for those doors never stood open until the patriarch felt it In his bones that the winter was gone and he could with safety leave the side of the stove within and migrate to the long wooden bench on the porch to bask in the sunshine. “Boys,” he said at length, “it’s time we’re glttln’ out ag’ln. Spring has come.” With that be hobbled toward the door. uooa, uran pap, gala tne cnronic Loafer, rolling off the counter and fol lowing. Then the old Storekeeper opened both doors. The old oak bench that had stood neglected through the long winter, ex posed to wind and warping rain, gave a Joyous creak as it felt again on its broad and knife-hacked back the weight of the Patriarch and his friends, and kicked up its one short . hickory leg with such vehemence as to cause the Storekeeper to throw out his hands as though the world had dropped from under him and he was grasping at a cloud for support. “Mighty souls!’’ he cried when he had recovered his composure and equi librium. “My, oh, my!” murmured the old man, his chlld-like face beaming with contentment as he sat basking in the sun. "Don’t the old bench feel good ag’In. Me an’ this oak board has ben buddies fer nigh onter sixty year.” The season seemed to have infused new life into the Chronic Loafer as it had into all nature, for he sudden ly tossed off his coat, with one leap cleared the s’.eps, and then began dancing up and down in the road. “It Jist makes a feller feel like wres tlin’, Gran-pap.” he shouted, waving his arms deflnaily at the quartet on the bench. “Come on.” At this indisposition of these four to take up the gauntlet he had thrown down, the Loafer became still more brave and defiant. “’Hedgins!” he sneered. “You uns is afraid, eh?" “Nawthin* to be afraid of,-” snap ped the Miller. “Simply ‘ because “HE WENT FLYIN7* spring's come ez It's ben cornin’ ever since I kin remember, I haln’t a-goin’ to waller ’round In a muddy road.” "Nur I, nuther,” growled the Shoe makei. “Well, I bantered yer, an’ you uns’s all skeert ter westle, dead skeert," cried the Loafer, drawing on bis coat and grinning triumph through his bushy whiskers. “Come, come,” said the Patriarch, beating his stick on the floor to call the boaster to order. “Ef I was five years younger I’d take your banter; I’d druv your head inter the mud tell you'd be afeared of showin’ up at the store fei a year fer fear some un’d shovel yer inter the road. Thet’s what I’d do. I hates blowln’, I do—I hates -blowln’. Fur be it from me ter blow, particular as I was somethin' of a wrestler when I was a young un.” “I bet I could ’a’ th’owed you in less time ’an it takes me ter set down,” the Loafer said, as he seated himself on the steps and got out his pipe. “Th’owed me, eh!” retorted the old man. “You’d ’a’ th’owed me, would you. Well, I’d a’ liked to hev seen you a th’owln’ me.” He shook his stick at the braggart. “Why, didn’t you know thet ’hen I was young I was the be3t wrastler in the valley; didn’t you ever hear of the great wrastlln’ me and Simon Cruller done up to Swamp Holler schoolhouse?” “Did Noar act as empire?" asked the Loafer. “What does you mean be talkin’ of Noar an’ sech like when I’m tellin’ of wraatlin’? Try in’ to change the sub jec’, I s’pose, eh?” cried the Patriarch “Me an’ Slme Cruller was buddies,” he began at length. “Thet was tell we both kind of set our minds on get tin* Becky Stump.

Why, they sparkled Jest like they was filled with new buggy paint, an' was all watery like. An’, mighty souls, but she could plough! fer she wasn't none of your modern girls as Is too j roud to plough. Many a day I set over on the porch at our place an’ looked down across the walley an' seen her a-steppin’ along th’oo’ the fiel’, an’ I thot how I’d like ter hev one faan’le while she'd hev the other, an’ we’d go trampin’ along life’s fur row togethei. “The whole thing came to a p’lnt at a spellin' bee up to Swampy Holler school,” continued the Patriarch, un mindful of the Interruption. “Becky Stump was there an’ looked onusual pretty, fer It was cold outside an’ the wind had made her face all red on the drive over from home. Slme was there, too, togged out In store clothes. “It didn't take me five minutes to see thet Slme Cruller was tryln’ to show off afore Becky Stump; was try ing to prove to her that he was a smarter lad than me. “When Intermission come Slme he gits off In one corner an’ begins blow in’ to a lot of the boys. I heard him talkin’ loud about me, so I steps over. He sayd It was all a mistake; that he could beat me at anything—spellin’, wrastlin,’ or flshln’. He was showln’ off agin, for he talked loud like Becky Stump could hear, an’ I makes up me mind I wouldn’t stand his blowln'. *' ‘See here, Slme Cruller,’ I sals, sals I. ‘you uns Is nawthln’ but a blow horn,’ I sals. ‘You claims you kin wrastle. Why, I kin th’ow you In less time ’an It takes to tell It, an’ If you step out-slde I’ll prove me wordB.’ “ ‘You th’ow me!’ he sals. Then he begin to laugh like he'd die at the werry wee. "With that we went outside, foller ed by the rest of the boys. They was a quarter moon overhead, an’ the girls put two candles In the schoolhouse winder, so with the snow we could see pretty well. “At It we went. Boys, you otter ’a’ ben there!

He gits his left arm. aroun' my neck an’ down my back somehow, an’ with his right hand tears the buttons off me coat an’ grabs me In the arm hole cf me waist-coat. Over we goes, like two dogs, snarlin’ an’ snappln’, while the boys In a ring aroun’ us cheered an’ the girls crowdin’ the schoolhouse porch trembled an’ «tt*amed with fright. "We twisted, we turned, we rolled oyer an’ over'tell we looked like livin’ snowballs. Sime got off the boot I’d a holt, on, an’ gives me a sudden turn thet almost sent me on me back. But I was quick. Mighty souls, but I was quick! I ups with me foot an’ landed me heel right on his chlst an’ he went flyin’ ten feet Inter a snow bank, keryin’ me coat-sleeve with him. He was lookin’ up at the moon when I run up to him, an’ I’d ’a’ hed him down, but he turn ed over. “But I was quick. Mighty souls, but I was quick! I kep’ me feet an’ gits one han’ inter his waistcoat pocket an’ hung to him. Whenever you wrastles git your man by the bootstrap or the pocket, an’ you has the best they is. Ef I hedn’t ’a’ done thet, I might ndt ’a’ ben here today. But I done it, an’ fer a full hour me an’ Sime Cruller rolled roun’, even matched. Time an’ agin I got sight of Becky Stump standin’ on the porch, her hands gripped together, her face pale, her eyes almost poppln’ outen her head, she was watchin’ us so hard, an’ the wery sight of her urged me on to in human efforts. It seemed to have the same effect on Sime. The blood be gin to run outen both me nose-holes an’ yit I kep’ at it. Me heart beat so hard it made me buttons rattle. Still I kep’ at it. Sime was so hot it was fer me Jest like wrastlln’ with a stove, an’ still we kep’ at It. Then all of a sudden—it was two hours after hed fust clinched—everything seemed to swim—I couldn’t feel no earth beneath —I only know’d that I was still hold in’ on to Sime—then I know’d naw tfcln’. “When I came to I was layin’ be the tchcolhouse stove, an’ Becky Stump vs as leaning over me rubbln’ a snow ball acrosst me forehead. The other folks was standin’ back like, fer they seemed to think thet after slch an ex hibition It was settled an’ they didn’t want to disturb us. “ ‘Becky,’ X whispers, ‘did I win?’ “ ‘You did,’ she sals. ’You both fainted et oncet, but you fainted on top.’ “ ‘An’ now, I s’pose you’ll hev me,’ I sals, fer it seemed like there was somethin’ in her eyes thet kinder urged me on. “She was quiet a pice, an’ then she leans down an' answers: ‘Do you think I wants to marry a flen’? No, sir, I’ll merry no man I can’t lick.’ ’’ “Well?" cried the loafer. "Well?” retorted the old man. “Did she ever merry?" The Patriarch shook his head. “Go look at the grave stun." he Faid, “an on it you’ll see wrote: ‘ ’Ere lies Becky Stump. Her peaceful soul's at reet.’” Food for Reflection* Rev.
