A lace "yoke or lace V is indispensable with eleeves trimmed to match and an il lusion veil of any desired length attached to the hair by orange blos eom8 throws its own indefinable Charm over the entire coituma.

The forme s bouquet may be of white .lilacs, white rosebuds, or lilies of-the-valley, or a handsome Prayer Book as often preterred to Howrs. (Graduating Dresses.' Any special costume for gradua ting, seems to be passing out of style, or perhaps absorbed by the lingerie dress, which worn over a white or colored slip alternately, seems ever new and fresh. Ihe beautiful ba tiste trimmings which are easily put together and so effective, are one great reason for the continued pop- y.

Mull is the fabric generally selected for cotton braiding, but any sheer stuff will answer the purpose. Foulard Silks. Foulards were never in greater demand and really no other material is so generally useful. So many pat terns originate from dots and stripes that it is interesting to lounge awhile at the Jfonlard counter of a leading house and look over the tempting diBplay. Tiny dots in "all over" patterns are held in high esteem by dressmakers, then again small dots form very large dots, stripes or squares. Coin spots on cluster stripes are favorites, and tiny sprigs omeinfor their sfhare of approval. Brown, blue aud combinations of black and white are particularly at tractive, and in the latter, shaded black and white spots of variad. sizes on a satiny Burface, charm the exper ienced shopper by the delicacy or jjdesign. SHtylei In Making For morning wear, foulards are made in jumper style, or on the well IN NEW YORK. known shirt-waist model, always with a double, plaited prcll down the f rot) t, and usually unite a plain skirt. Moro ornate dresses have three tucks in the skirts and waists in very full surplice f.i-ihioii, with handsoma lace yokes and sleeve;. A facing of col ored silk is used in a surplice front, with a belt and sleeves trimmings to match. i.ineii suits. ostumes of linen and lace con tinue their fasciuations, in which the latter element enters even more large ly than during the past summer. A very pretty dress on this order has a sKirc of '"all over" lace arranged in paneU (over a blue lining) with the panels divided by a blue band edged (both sides) ffith narrow lace. The oknt has a broid blue linen lac ing, and the waist is a rather long basque, the skirt slashed and border ed with lase. There is a white V at the neck, and three-quarter sleeves with cape over sleeves all trimmed in harmony. Verona Clarke. Field Syndicate. Station W. An Aged Lady Ulci al Oak nidge.

It is learned that the promoters of the Llkin & Alleghany Kailroal have secured the promise of 100 con victs from the State to aid in build ing the road and that work will begin the first of June. The road will extent from hlkin to bparta. and thence to Frontdale, Grayson county, Va., a distance of 50 miles' where it will connect with the Nor folk' & Western. Elkin township will soon vote on the proposition of issuing $100, 000 in bonds for this enterprise, and a citizen of that place says it will certainly be carried. Large appropriations will also be made by other townships along the the line. Mr. Bailey's Crowhliifr I '.Hol t. For thirteen years Mr. Bailey has been a sane and powerful force in North Corolina.

Mykiis, Kent's Store, Va. Spring has Come at Last. "Gentle Spring Is lie re niin. bringing mirth and kindness." This has been a Ling winter. To use a poetical and probably classical expression, "winter lias lingered long in the lap ol' Spring. 1 no longer pin my faith to signs and say ings, for all signs fail in dry wuather, and all sayings fail when they do not come true.

Oid nature renewed ond made over again, a bright harbinger of the glorious summer in prospect. As I sit here at the window and pen these lines, the twitter of birds from all the trees greet my ears. I can look out upouthe fields green with wheat covering them like an em erald mantle (voii will note this little meta phor) and all nature is expanding into new life; and "All the trees on all the hills open their thousand leaves." And flowers oh! so many, roses, violets, red, purple, with green lor a baautiful hack ground, and in a little while tne whole earth will be teeming with flowers. vSfe will lie looking as on a tinted map, an enameled picture, brilliant with every hue of the prism.

But now we are looking up, the clouds have rolled awav, hone sits enthroned once more in spite of all; and we snap our fingers at the dark drearv depressions of last week; and rise up and throttle the furies which aim ist engulfed Ai xr Asmir. Little Thoughts on Big Themes. Experience is the germ of power. The problem of civilization is to eliminate the parasite. Ii is qualities that make a man great and not knowledge. Calm, patient, persistent pressure wins Violence is transient. The man who consumes and wastes and does not produce is a burden like the grass hopper. A workinguan thrives bst by considering and working for the best interest! of his em ployer Mother nature in giving out energy gives each man about an equal proportion the dif ference is in the way you use it. The alternating current gives power; only an obstructed current gives either hsat or light; all things require differently. The fact is that lite lies in mutual service any other course is merely existence. Those wno do most tor oiners enjoy most. Mental work of a congenial kind is a great stimulus to bodily vigor to think good thoughts, working them out like nuggets ot gold, then to coin them into words, is a splen did joy.

The habit of haggling arguing and quarreling over trifles, or split ting hairs, especially when people are tired, destroys health and rums character. I have known large families, after a hard day's work, to spend a whole evening quarreling over some trivial matter which did not amount to any thing. Fagged and jaded after the day's work, the mental iriitauonand discord set in motion in the tired brain compldtely exhausted them, and, of course, their sleep wm troubled aud they rose the next morning haggard and worn, with no freshness or spontaneity for the new day's work. They felt as tnough they had been out on a debauch. When shall we learn that harmony is the only condition under which strength of the body and beauty of life can be developed? One's best work cau not be done under friction, uor in a black, heavy, thundercloud atmosphere. These must be sun shine and good cheer aud a happy environment to bring the best out of us. The faculties uo not work nor mally where there is even a little bit of discoid. I'erlect harmony gives strength -of purpose, concentration of mind and effectiveness of execu tion. There must be liberty no sense of suffocation or restraint or depiession, in an atmosphere which develops the best in man. Many an invalid to-day ov es his ot her wretchedness and practical fail ure in life to quarreling, fault-find ing, and the bickering habit. Irri tation, friction, or discord of any de scription, is a great enemy of strength health aud happiness, while absolute harmony of character aud environ ment is friendly to all worthy achievement. In thousands of homes we see gnarled, crippled, starved, stingy lives, which have never developed in to their greatest possibilities; lives which have never blossomed out or come to fruitage because of being in a vicious atmosphere, an atmosphere full of discord, criticism, scolding and constant depression. No one can do good when feeling a sense of suffocation or strangulation. Overman tor Vice-President. As indicative of the high standing of Senator Overman in the Senate I was shown today an article from the Seattle, Oregon, Post-Intelligencer,' containing an interview from Senator Piles. The' Oregon i'enator was quoted to the extent of a cuiumn on iauonat pontics in Washington and when asked as to his opinion regarding the Democrat ic presidential nominee said: "I have no idea who the Demo crats will nominate, unless it be Bryan. I notice that Senatoi Bail ey, of Texas, has announced him self as in favor of his colleague, Senator Culberson, if he wants the nomination. Senator Culberson, is an able man. lie would make an ideal candidate from the Democrat ic standpoint. If the South is to put forth a candidate, she would honor herself in nominating Cul berson. "He said he had heard Seuator Overman of North Carolina, men tioned as a probable candidate for Vice-President on the Democratic ticket, if that party selected a Northern man to lead it. Senator Overman, said Mr. Piles, is an able and fearless man and a co nmand ing figure in the Senate, but the Senator believes he would prefer to remain in the Senate, where he can do the State the most good. know ot no mau who is more popu lar in the Senate.".
