an cany examination. When the court con
Tencd he was on hand tho Una day and n

was nu uncouth specimen, endowed with

sot get the sort of commltteo for that to

Isctosed tho fact that ho was nourvidiUiil

and his application was denied by .Judgi

the evening and camo Into court tho next
morning to learn tho result. Ho stood st
the Tailing of tho bar, hat In hand, and h.
quired of tho court what he had done wlt'i
his application.
Judge D Informed him that hocottl'!

to study longer and try for udmlnslui

dressed, fell out. Tho strips wero from
half an inch to an inch and a half wido
and three yards long, and as tho lady
was putting them in a neat bundle
again she said:
"Now 1 am sure yon can't toll what
those aro for. I will tell you. Thoy are
the fashionablo trimming for woolen
and heavy silk gowns," and as 1 suppose
I did look surprised 1 am sure I tried
to slio continuod, "thoy will bo sown
on tho bottom of skirts and around
the edges of tho basques, and bo UHcd
as trimming wherovor thoy enn be.
Tho wido Btrips will bo used for pointed
bolts, and thoy will nearly all bo sowed
on in such a manner that tho stitches will
be ornamental. Some will bo studded
with jet or steel uail heads, though not
bo often as thoy will bo ombroidored in
colored silk and gold thread. Really,
you have no idea how very stylish this
leathor trimming can bo mado to look."
I don't know when 1 was brought to
such a clear understanding of tho dif
ference in English and French styles as
today. Tho former aro so prim, do
muro and almost sovero, and tho other
neat, graceful und with a touch of tho
ornato which suggests the delicious
spring.
English Soft choviot in delicato but
sober heather mixturo and almost in
visible stripes, both plain and with man
nish vests and hats you nover see a
French won in in a mannish hat and
altogether serenely elegant and obtru
sively modest.
French Tanpeau do soio with three
quarter coat basquo, and with tho entire
costumo overlaid with soft green mousse,
laid in points. Tho hat of straw, lined
with mousHo velvet and trimmed with
cowslips and moss green satin bows.
The other is violet and gray chameleon
silk, plain of skirt and sleeves, with a
draped jabot of point do geno in front
and ruflles of tho samo at tho wrists.
Tho hat is of openwork black straw
with lilao satin bows and ears of point
de gene laco. Parasol to match tho
dress.
Yon look first on ono style and like it
for its quiet simplicity. You glance at
tho other and aro charmed by tho light
ness and beauty of coloring, but unless
you can afford a gown of both styles it
proves moro satisfactory to tako tho
English, as it is adapted better to our
own tastes and people; but tho other is
so pretty.
I notico that tho manufacturers who
aro responsible for all tho bad jokes at
the oxpenso of bathing dresses aro try

ing the excellent house this good company
played to there were enough kept at home by
the very dlnagreeablo weather to have filled
the house twice over. This company's re

and arrive home feeling better able to cope
with th struggle of life, for a price so smtll
as to be almost ridiculous, we feel wo are ro
gardlng the Davis company as real mission

Already tho circus-loving jwrtlon of this
community is on the tip-too of expectancy
over the coming of tho old rcllablo Lemon
Bros, aggregation; nnd It can be set down as
a certainty that it will attract Iremondous
crowds. Ths proprietors of this well known
establishment, who aro among the acknowl
edged loaders of the circus business of Amer
ica, are said to havo outdone all previous ef
forts In this line, both in tho novelty of the
entertainment and in tho wonderful features
exhibited. The securing of the famous
Ilojah, the largest elephant on earth, at a
cost of over A5,00, and tho enormous out
lay of cash is evidence that the managers of
this great show are 'bo'iud to exhibit to Its
patrons something now and worthy the great
name and reputation it already has. The
show will be soen hero May 30.
