FTER all is said and done no novelty of fashion can usurp the popularity of bisck as gown goods. The telling effects it is susceptible of producing—the pever anything but genteel sp- pearance it presents—the always fresh and new look it has—win womankind— makes a slave of every lover of quiet ele- ance. But, ob, the pitfalls! How the cheap and shoddy masquerade in the cloak of dusky dye. How stingily the “FAST BLACK” ts veneered on some wesves. All the con- @emnation you hear of BLACK comes from these quality-deserted fabrics. It Priestley weaves—or Lupin—or one of these veterans—satisfaction follows—as sure- ly as flowers after spring showers. To them WE so-DIRECT.

The Class of the National Homeo- pathic Hospital Begins Work. With a large class of young women the Training School for Nurses established in connection with the National Homeopathic Hospital has been inaugurated, under the care and direction of Miss Wartman, the superintendent of nurses. The medical staff of the hospital will constitute the corps of instructors, and from time to time a series of lectures will be delivered.

A reorganization of the, out-patient department of the hospital is in progress, and will be made a direct part of the hospital work. A sub staff will be | appointed. The eye, ear and throat depart- ment, under the control of Dr. Wm. R. King, assisted by Dr. H. Wells Woodward, is already established, and those who are worthy can obtain treatment free on Wed- nesdays and Saturdays from 2 to 3 p.m. The other departments will be announced when completely organized. “J am tired of the scandal and notoriety Mrs. Martin has brought upon our family, said Mrs. O'Halloran when asked about her sister, “and I don’t want to have her any more in my house. It is nothing but worry and fret from the moment she lands here. I don’t propose to turn my home into @ po- litical club for my sister, and she can go to a hotel now to do all that.” 4 Mrs, O'Halloran’s attention was called t the absence of Lady Cook from Mrs. Mar- tin’s rty. “Poor thing,” she said with a sigh, “her eyes have been opened at last, just as mine have been. Here for years she has been the brains of the whole so-called Woodhull movement, while Victoria has got the credit for everything. The fact is my sister, Lady Cook, has been under a sort of spell all these years and has let her elder sister rule her. It's over now. Tennie ts tired of having her brains used for an- other. She is going to let Victoria go on as she chooses, while she will pursue a quiet home and titerary life.
