12- THE COURIER. UNLOVED AND LOST. Ob, where Is the girl with the red, red hair I scorned fa the long afo? I did aot then coasider her fair She was not in the style, you know; But now, oh. sow, if I tad the chance Pd fcaeel with the humblest mien, Aad pray for the boon of a anile or glance, For the red-haired' girl k queen! What matter if freckles are on her note ? And what though her eyes are crowed? And, too, what matter her pigeon toes, And the fact that her teeth are lost? Oh, now she k sweetly, divinely fak, The loveliest thing to be seen, Eor, blessed ot the gods, she has real red hak, And the red-haired gkl k queen ! Then here k a toast to the brick-topped maid I failed to appreciate, And coldly, cruelly sought to evade, Until it was all too late! Oh, tf she would now come back to me, Arrayed in the fashionable green, How happy, devoted and proud Fd be. Sface the red-baked gkl k queen ! Town Topics FASHKDN3- After the spring costumes are disposed of, the next question is how to make the ilk gowns that aie so comfortable and cool during the summer months, and that look so smart on the warm days even in the sprintr. This season there are a great many varieties of silk to choose from, and apparently there is no arbitrary law as to what shall be chosen. Taffeta silk is a warmer material than India cr foulard, and, as a rule, is more expensive; but it has one point in its favor, and that is it is not absolutely necessary to make it up over a silk lin ing the sldrt especially, now that silk skirts are made separate from the lin ings, will hang just as well over an un der skirt ot percaline.cambric or the new, kind of lining with a satin finish, and all that lining will require will be to be faced ap about a quarter or halt a yard. The waist also can be lined, with cam bric or even lawn; and if the gown is to be worn only in midsummer the lawn will be found the very best of linings, as it is so much cooler than anything else. Its only disadvantage is that it stretches, bat careful cutting and good sewing will do away with much of this difficulty. Black taffeta skirts are extremely use ful. Just at present in the big cities they are rather common, for so many of them have been sold ready made; but they have a smart look, even when so many of them are worn, and are a very good investment. They are made ruffled to the waist, with two or three deep fkances,with the apron front, and the attached flounce, either gathered, cut on the bias, or put on in eide plaitings, or they are made quite plain, cut circular and trimmed with graduated bands of velvet or satin. There is still another style, with the circular flounce headed with a little niching of satin or taffeta. The glace taffeta is rather smarter . i r - - - - - i Stil;plio-Salixi All Kinds of Baths Shaving1 Hairdressing1. 4A .-- "ST 3BT .-- --- fl TV LA -P.M. ATCtJU. CTMM - -Scientific Masseurs.

The checks and plaids are effective, and are cleverly designed, so that the plaid, even when large, does not interfere with the lines ot the figure. This is accomplished by the cut of the ekirt in the different gores. Then there are the bayadere designs, which, made up into skirts without any trimming, look rich and very smart. These come in all different shades of blue with the stripes in white, and then the grays in all the different shadings. The greens are not so much the rage, but the shepard plaids in all colors are greatly in demand. Tne very newest fad of the season is the revival ot an old fashion the silk visite which our grandmothers wore. It consists of a little coat ot taffeta, which can be worn with any Bkirt not only of silk, but of other material as well. The prettiest model is made with the back in a basque shape; the front ia loose, but with long tabs; the sleeves are very small, with a cap over the top, and a high turned-back collar faced with some bright color. The silk is covered with tiny cording or shirring put on in as fantastic a pattern as can be devised. It k not supposed to be lined, and is to be worn either over a thin shirt waist or with a false front. It is held in place by a narrow belt which goes under the front pieces. It has not as yt appeared excepting at the private dressmakers', but is already becoming a craze. For women who cannot wear shirt waists there is nothing smarter or cooler. Of course it k not a very easy model to make at home, but it is a possible one, and a very good one. Harper's Bazar. Patronize Home Industry.
