BoNNErs AND Hats having been written about ad nauseam this spring, it is only neces sary tosay that they do not grow any prettier as ihe season udvanices. HANDKERCHIEFS ARE purely ornamental. They are small, with colored borders, delicate- ly_ embroidered, and enriched in one corner With design or monogram. ADA:NTY LITTLE fushion Is Introduced of the street wrap for young m1 m short and Iders and having a card case made to match the calling costume, and any lady can easily make one to aich why dress she desires. SASHES of watered ribbon, which are 8,12 and 16 inghes wide, are worn as finishes for nt inde nd alking toil and are especial favorites with young ladies. Execraic BLvr KMWAYYAN SERGE forms a costume with iull skirt, edged with three bands of shot-fi plored and bronze silk, covered with gol Jed, flame-colored woolen lace, Tux KeY-Nore of this season seems to be em- broidery. It ix used upon every thing—dresses, bonnets, ribbons, laces, trimmings and_ fabrics ofevery description for underand outside wear. LAWNs with small figures are made up with open V-shaped bodices edged with lace and belted with soft silk the color of the figure, or they are finished with Swiss bodices in silk or velve ONE OF THE latest coitfures sent out from Paris is composed of a mass of short curls, so difficult toexecute properly that most ladies who prefer this style of hair dressing buy a curled wig and have done with it. It costs less in the end. PLAIN GRAY CoTross AND Gray-BLUE are made up with red to look very pretty for coun- try wear. The red sometimes forms a frilling, over which the contrasting color is cut out in nts or shell shapes, While upon the bodice it Torms a tucked vest. CHENILLE TRIMMINGS Will remain fashion- able, and we shall have chenille embroideries, passementeries of chenille and silk, chenille and velvet or beads. among others heads cut With facets whieh glitter brilliantly, and are of all tints and colors. TRIcoTRINE 1s a woolen fabric of foreign weave, showing basket patterns in large and small designs. Tricotine, a silken material, is an American production of fine light texture, with a Jersey woven surface. It is shown in all seasdnaide colors and pretty designs. THE NEw Way of trimming parements and collars is to arrange a row of gold, steel or silver braid or jet passementerie round the collar, which closes on the left shoulder. A narrow edge of colored satin should show all round from beneath the collar and parements, Very PRetry Ficus are made in soft folds of gold or silver dotted tulle or muslin, to pass round the throat and cross low upon the front ofthe bodice. The neck is completed by a band of velvet edged with standing lace,and the ends with lace and a group of velvet and satin loops. AMONG THE PorULAR Goons in all black is the fabric known as ring cloth, a material which is as transparent as gauze, but as strong as grenadine. It isso fine and elastic that it is Said the entire width of the goods can be drawn through an ordinary finger ring, hence its name. > & NewBrarp is of coppery-colored gold; it is natrow and set up on the material in knife “@@ged patterns which completely cover the sur- face. It is used for vests and standing “mill- tary” collars. It looks exceedingly weil upon | the light vicuna cloths which ure fashionable this spring. STRIPES ARE VERY FASHIONABLY WoRN as Uunderskirts with tunics and bodices or polon- aises of plain material, with the striped goods introduced on the bodice as a plastron, waist- coatdr collar and revers. With such dresses double tunics are sometimes employed, gener- ally of the shaw! point form, one of the stripe and the other the plain material. THE ETAMINE FABRICS are the novelties and they are always in combination patterns, plain with clustered and shaded stripes of velvet or chenille, or figures, not large and usually in soft dark tints, the striped or figured part being used for drapery, for panels or front, and for basque. Etainine is the name for what ‘would have been called canvas grenadine a few years ago. ScorcH GINGHAMS are in special request, and among the best grades are shown hand- some-looking embroidered ginghams matehing the solid colors heretofore in stock. These | come in boxes, and are warranted “fast colors” and exceedingly durable. These, with the new | ghamberys and zephyrs, are special favorites | for ladies who prefer neat and dressy washable goods for morning wear during the summer. ALL THE New ZoUAVE AND RUSSIAN JACK- TS of velvet, silk or satin are over-wrought or bordered with gold or silver embroidery, beaded laces, applique bands of jet or raised work in silk orchenille. These jackets are trim and | stylish, and a lady of even moderate means can easily afford one of the richest. description, as, being very short and sleeveless, they require but little material and but few’yards of trim- ming. ONE OF REDFERN’s New York novelties in dress trimmings consists of narrow braid formed Of lines crossing and recrossing each other so as to form a design clearly marked by the open that intervene. This is laid asa plas | tron down the front of the dress, and has a Very novel and pretty effect when’ the colors are well-chosen, as In the instance of pale gray v Una cloth and navy blue braid—a happy com- bination. The collar and deep cuifs are also trimmed with this braid, wrought in asimilar esign suited to the purpose. ELEgaxr Siwpiictrry will be one of the ar- Ditrary requirements of visiting and dinner | costumes even of the richest description this summer. Less adorning will be seen, and more eareand thought will be devoted to the perfect fit and artistic draping of these toilets. A very rich and elegant model is a dinner dress of len brown ons satin, the back portion of e skirt arranged in three fall Undraped Dreadths of the satin, trimmed only with a sim- ple knite-pleated ruffle, which edges the entire skirt. In front a long full apron overdress, | which reaches quite to the foot of the skirt, 15 | laid in wide pleats at the top, and at the sides | simply joins the full drapings ‘at the back. Be- Jow the fifth button on the bodice, a vest of silk, covered with a solid and superb embroid- ery in shaded bronze beads, is set in, and the Very high military collar and the outside por- tions of the sleeves are likewise adorned. Turner ane Fewer EXrenstve Fapeics in market this season than have appeared for many yeurs. Novelties crowd the shop win- dows and counters, which prove far too tempt- ing both in price and quality to be passed by Without a purchase,and the more expensive js are accordingly left unsold. The passing Wonder to many experienced shoppers this year is how such really handsome and rellable Materials can be sold at their present low rates with any profit toeither manufacturer or mer- chant. However, this matter is not one for this solving. They have ouly to be thankful that their season the “dress money” allowance can be made to go.so far, and that such uncom- monly attractive effects can be produced with so little outlay of money. No lady need be a dowdy or look anything but a well-dressed and Stylish member Of society In these times, for one dollar will go nearly as faras two did in former days. AvonG Ercut Vetitnes and other summer fabrics of similar nature, the mushroom, silver gray, mastic shades, resida greens, ecru, coffee and goldren browns, and several smoke tints are all tushionably combined with sortly draping silks or satin foulards.

He is a torch-bearer to humanity's ignorance. If now and again, by reason of @ pessimist tempera- ment or defect of training, the rays he sheds around Intensify rather than dispel the gloom, and cast shadows as of Egyptian night across man’s forward path, surely he misconstrues his mission, But the wisest head is sometimes puzzled, and the shrewdest explorer of the all-environ- ing mystery Is sometimes confounded. A prob- lem presents itself which cannot be resolved any of the familiar processes. The why of some suddenly disclosed fact is as insctutable as the Sphinx of the Eastern desert. It was thus with Bernard Ralstor Those who thirst for tame, as misers thirst for gold, or coquettes for admiration, would have nd much to envy In this young man’s posi- tion, Atan es when a statesman is currently supposed to be studying his parliamentary primer, and when a future general may still be writhing under the sarcasms of a barrack-room instructor, Bernard Ralston had been welcomed into the front rank of philosophical thinkers, His book on “Instinct, Conscience and Reason” was read and criticised by the few, praised and avoided by the many. The noisy heterodox claimed him as’a new and promising recruit; and so also, to the amusement of the onlooker, did the stanchest maintainers of old land— marks. He was flattered, feted and the lon of nis season. It was from this suddenly acquired distinc tion that his embarrassment had approached, The solicitors letter that was the beginning of sorrows made this clear, It ran thus: DEAR Sik: We have to inform you that by the will of our late ellent, Mr. Hamphrey Power, yoil ate ap- pointed sole guardian of his only surviving daughter, Ulive. As this may be in the nature of a surprise, we beg leave to quote the precise paragraph of the will: “And I hereby empower Mr. Bernard Ralston to act in every respect ag the guardian of my child. I am sure that Olive can have no fitter or wiser protector, none better qualified to advise and to regulate her life; and should he—as I earnestly beg—accept aud fulfil thts charge, I give and bequeath to the said Bernard Ral- ston, over and above such reasonable expenses as he muy have incurred on my daughter's behalf, the sum of £5,000, to be paid by my executors on my daugh- ters tweijty-first birthday, as @ small tribute of my ratitude. S"The young lady is « very considerable heiress, in her eighteenth year, and at present at a private pension in France. “Further particulars will follow oh your reply. Weare, dear Sir, yours obediently, ‘ANSHAWE & FITCH. The gift of the proverbial white elephant could have produced in no heart a greater con- sternation, What should a retired and solitary student, of serious pursuits and uncourtly man- ners,answer tosucha challenge? If Cleethorpe Hall were large, it by no means followed that he wanted more life within its bounds; and a girl in her teens, a mere child, as with the sage wisdom of five-and-thirty years he considered her! How could her presence by his fireside be harmonized with the quiet current of the life he elected to live? Yet, the bait of five thousand pounds was a temptation, ‘The glories of Cleethorpe Hall had been sadly tarnished through the improvidence of Bernard’s father, and philosophy {s not a par- ticularly remunerative hobby toride. Mr. Hum- phrey Power's legacy, if not precisely a fortune, would be an assistance in the keeping up of the restricted Cleethorpe establishment, ‘The matter was debated long and anxiously, and as the result Miss Olive Power arrived at the hall one snowy February morning. Slight of figure, winsome of feature, with merry, vio- let-tinted brown eyes,and lips continually part- ing in a piquant smile over teeth of whitest pearl, Bernard Ralston was forced to admit that, if he was properly to protect his ward, his position might not prove a sinecure, Neither did it. The girl’s beauty attracted suitors as clover- blossoms allure bees; and it was soon an open secret in the country-side that Miss Power, us well as being a lonely and a lovely young thing was a richly dowered one. This brought the sometimes lugubrious voice of Prudence into reasonable accord with the chorus of adora- tion. But Olive was not minded to be an easy cap- ture for any of her wooers. With a woman's instinctive dexterity she kept them all at bay, and at twenty had escaped the necessity of as yet refusing any offer in formal and unéquivo- cal terms, She was developing a taste for study, which half amused, half interested her guardian. One evening he playfully rallied her on ber application to sundry big tomes in the rary. “Ishall be accused of transforming a merry and bewitching young lady into a blue-stocking —a disciple ot my own dry-as-dust pursuits,” he ‘some one some day may have special cause to blame me, I fear.” A sudden blush was on the maiden’s cheeks, and her glance fell. It was impossible that she should misinterpret Bernard’s meaning. “There is Oswald Harbury tothink of, Olive’s guardian was daring enough to add. Two shining eyes were momentarily uplifted. Was the flash they gave one of indignation, of scorn, or merely of confusion at a betrayed’ se- eret? Bernard could not guess. “The nature of my employments'ean nidke. no difference whatever, in any way that I can unagine, to Mr. Harbury,” she answered. Then —itseemed to Bernard ‘a strange transition— “Will you forgive me for asking a favor?” she went swiftly on; “I should like—oh, so much!— to help in yoyr work. Could I not copy out your notes or revise proofs sometimes?” What philosopher could have successfully re- sisted the volunteered help of such an amanu- ensis? Not Bernard Ralston, It was summer, three months later than the date of this conversation. Olive’s guardian was seeking his ward in her own boudoir, with a gloom upon his face anda depression of soul whieh defied his analysis: He had a message to convey and a proposal to Informally submit which he had little doubt would be accepted. Oswald Harbury, the young owner of half Clee- thorpe, had asked permission to lay himself and his fortunes at Olive's feet. ‘He loved her, he said; he would do his bestto make her happy. ‘And I believe thathe will. He has a home tooffer you and is a true-hearted, honorable entleman. As your guardian, Olive, I am und to give my sanction to so fair and prom- isingasuit. MayI bid Mr. Harbury to come and plead his own cause’ He had spoken hoarsely and in a queer, far off kind of voice that he hardly recognized as hisown. It was surely singular and must tes- tify to.an unsuspected weakness of character, that the prospect of separation from the ward originally received with so much doubt and read should thus make havoc of his peace. He waited for the answer ina suspense that Ww: itively harassing. At last it came, No, you m5 not,” Olive said, “unless, in- deed, you wisii’ to get rid of me—to send me away. And not even then, for I cannot consent to marry a man whom I do not love.” Send Olive away! Was not every pulse in his body beating with fierce, unbidden Joy at the verdiet she had given? The measure of his re- cent terror was the measure of his present re- | Hef. “That is a fear which my ward—my wayward ward!—never need harbor,” he sald, with a slow, broad smile; “she has brought too much sunshine into my lonely life for me to wish to lose her. But change is inevitable some day.” “Why?” alow voice murmured; and again came the mysterious illumination of Olive's eyes. “Because, Olive—if for no other reason—the years of my guardianship will soon be at an end,” he answered steadily, almost sternly. ‘He Inust face the tuture resolutely, as befitted a teacher of his fellows. And a few seconds later his quick, nervous step was echoing in the passage without. Anearly summer vacation in Switzerland— when the glorious Alpine tlons should. be at its loveliest—had been the cher shed dream of years to Bernard Ralston, ant at last it was Tealized. A woman's hand 1d guided his steps thitherward. Olive Powe had persuaded him to lay aside his work ar muke playtime of the sunny weather. You can finish your bo on ‘Vanity as a Force in Human Affairs’ wi 1 you return, and the critics will all say that > lust chapters are the brightest,” she sald pl ingly. And when she added a siight involun....y expression of her own eagerness forthe change, he surrendered, ‘The trio—Miss Ralston, Bernard's sister and housekeeper, was Oilve’s chaperon—bad now been from England a fortnight, cy had reached the Ritfel and were thus encamped under shadow of the majestic (grim and uncouth, for variation of epithets) Matter- horn itself.

But the guide knows best. And yet, as he uttered his melancholy re- monstrance, there was a sound from over the neighboring ice-floe hard to credit to even the most eerie of Swiss breezes. “There! surely you hear it now?” the girl said, If only to make clear the girl's folly to her- self, the quest was recommenced. ‘The quick ear of love had uot biundered, atter all.

Do you know—nay, you cannot know—I had a dream this morning. After the doctor had left my room I dozed, and it seemed to me that—that the dearest girl in the wide world—and surely the bravest—came to my side and smoothed down the pillow—and—dare I whisper the words ?—caressed my forehead. It was singu- lar, was it not?” Something in the poise of the averted face awakened @ swift suspicion—a keen thrill of happiness. “Tt cannot be that—that it was not a dream’ hequeried. “That my ward is willing to be still dearer—to be my wife?” ‘The small palm was not withdrawn, the lovely crimsoned face was swiftly and momentarily upturned, as he had seen it twice before, and this time a look of ineffable content was’ mir- rored thereupon. “If you really desire so to extend your guar- Gianship of your ‘wayward ward,” mischiev- ous accents answered. And Bernard Ralston’s sometime problem had become his dearest treasure. Love Itself had taught love's lesson.
