His attention was at .once cen
tered upon the two. He held
his liands conlidently for the
little fellow hut lie refused.
Then the gentleman arose and
approaching the child with a
kindling smile said, "Let's see
the train." The dimpled hands
went out to meet his as ho said
''So chain." The two were
friends. The man held the
child close to him and carried
him to the .end of the car where
to the delight and relief of the
mother, and the admiration of
most of the passengers he held
the cliild tenderly to his heart
and talked to him in his own
language. The confidence gain
ed, he came back to his seat
and held the child and let him
play with his nose and mus
tache and press hischubhy fin
gers against his chin. The
train had now reached tho
mothers destination and she
took the child saying. "Thank
you kindly, sir, I must put on
his cloak now." The gentle
man gave him up with a rev
erent how and then took his
seat, lie sat pensively for a
little while and then covered
his eyes with his hand, resting
his elbow on the arm of the
seat. He sat thus for some
minutes and then in spite of
his efforts at secrecy was seen
to take his handkerchief and
blow his nose hard and inci
dentally wipe his eves. The
porter called his station and he
ft the car. Two ladies sitting
together looked at each other
and one who happened to know
the man, said, "Just about a
year ago he lost his own baby
about the age of that one."

A FRIEND WORTH LOVING.
If you have a friend worth loving, love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening tinge his brow with sunset's glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of a friend till he is dead ?
If you hear an air that thrills you, sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer wail deserved praise o'er long.
Why should one that thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart ?
If you hear a prayer that moves you by its humble, pleading tone.
Join it. Do not let the seeker bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or more" in prayer?
If you see the hot tear falling from a brother's eyes,
Share them. And by kindly sharing own your kinship in the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brother's heart is sad ?
If a silvery laugh goes rippling through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. 'Tis the wise man's saying for both grief and joy a place.
Health and goodness are in mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy by a friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly, ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Falter for a word of cheer?
THt ISLE OF
O ! a wonderful stream is the River Time,
As it runs through the realm of tears,
With a faultless rhythm and a musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep, and a surge sublime,
As it blends in the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow,
And (tie summers like buds between,
And the years in the sheaf, how they come and go,
On the river's breast, with its ebb and its How,
As it glides in the shadow and sheen !
There's a magical isle up the River of Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing ;
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical clime,
As a song as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are straying.
And the name of the isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures ihere;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow;
There are heaps of dust O ! we loved them so
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings
There are parts of our infant's prayer,
There's a lute unswept, and a harp without strings,
There are broken vows, and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
O ! remembered for aye be that blessed Isle,
All the days of our life, until night;
And when evening glows, with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing in slumber awhile.
May the Greenwood of our soul be in sight.
B. F. Taylor.

ONE of the bi'Bt of Ibe high-Bide hatl
for spring Is shown In the illus
trutlon given here. It was designed
for one of those fortunate residents of
the north nho anticipate the coming
of spring and go to meet it in southern
climes. It is all new, In outline und
poise on the head and in character of
trimming. It presages a season of
gayly trimmed millinery, briaht with
flowers and rililions and in keepiuK
with the quaint llounced taffetas, the
airy scarves and funcy parasols all
of them intensely feminine. This new
apparel Is the garb of the light heart
ed, or at any rate is designed to make
Its wearers look that way. Hats are,
worn at a jaunty, not to say rakish
angle. They are Immensely chic and
full of "go." It 1b evident that we are
emerging from the vogue of the lan
guid styles, and the chances are we
shall become well-set-up and even mill
tary looking in our street garb, by tin
time the northern spring has really
arrived.
The charming hat shown is not an
extreme of the new Idea. It Is of hemp
braid in a rose color, with a sofi
crown of the braid. Crowns, by the
way, are made of either braids or fab
rlcs. Many hats for spring will have
braid brims and crowns of Bilk or
Batln or other fabrics. When braid l
UBed It Is often put on In the manner
of a fabric, as in the hat pictured
Here a plateau of braid Is draped In
to a low putted crown. The lift In

for trimming. Trimming means, about
nine times out of ten, either dowers or
ribbon or both; nearly always both.
But one must not neglect to mention
malines and Jet. These two are big
features of the coming styles, and the
combination Is llower trimmed.

der where all the velvet came from.
In the model shown the roses are In
the natural rose shades with rather
light green foliage. The loops and
knot are of moire ribbon In a deeper
rose shade.
The poise of tho hat may be taken
as an example of the way In which
many shapes are to be worn. This
poise has been considered In making
the shapes.
Many hats designed for southern
tourists show a curious mixture of
materials. Usually thoBe worn only
for summer or winter lire not put to
gether on the same hat. But hats of
maline and flitter jet are made up
with some velvet in the body and
trimmed with flowers. I.ace hats,
flower trimmed, have narrow borders
of fur. That Is, the hat Is made adapt
able to any kind of weather. Tourists
sometimes find a variety in weather,
as In other things, awaiting them, so
these hats of strange mixings will
prove useful.

of the Attest In blouses for dally wear.
Very narrow insertions, very narrow
tucks, and a sparing use of fine em
broidery mark the best of these
waists. They are exceptionally re
fined looking. It is a mistake to se
lect wide laces ami big patterns In
embroidery for blouses.
The panel ut the center of the front
is a section cut from a wide flouncing.
Short lengths of fine flounclngs are to
be had very cheap in price. Panels cut
Irom them are easily set In because of
the narrow insertions
One of the strong points among the
virtues of these waists Is the ease with
which they may be washed and
Ironed. For traveling It Is best to make
them with separate collars, because
the collars become soiled after a day's
wear, while the waist will stand three
days.
follara of all-over lace, or of Valen
ciennes or Cluny insertions or cro

and boned or wired, may be washed
and worn without Ironing It is easy
to smooth the lace with the finger
Just before tbe collar Is entirely dry.
They tit snugly about the neck. Thli

many clothes on a Journey.

New Chiffon Blouse.
There are many new shirtwaists In
tbe shops, but the favorite one Is of
white chiffon cloth, the thin, transpar
ent fabric that Is about twice as thick
as the ordinary chiffon.
Tbe waist Is made simply. It has a
broad yoke across the back, to which
the material Is gathered, and loose
sleeves that end In wide turnover cuffs
