ALONE.
BY ROBERT J. BURDETTE.
I miss you, my darling, my darling.
The embers burn low on the hearth;
And still is the air r.f the household.
And hushed is the voice of Us mirth;
The rain rplashes fast on the terrace,
The wind past the lattices moan,
The midnight chimes out from the stee
ples And I am alone.
I want you, my darling, my darling.
I'm tired with care and with fret;
I would nestle in silence beside you,
And all but your prcse. ee forget,
In the bush of the happiness given.
To those who through trusting have
grown
To t be fullness of love in contentment;
But I am alone.
V. ,
call you my darling, my darling, x
My voice echoes bacic on the heart;
I stretch my arms to you in longing,
And 1c! they fall empty apart;
I whisper the sweet words you taught
me, , '
The words that we only have known.
Till the blank of the dumb air is bitter,
. For I am alone.
I need you, my darling, my darling!
With its yearning my very heart aehes:
The load that divides us weighs harder
I shrink from the jar that it makes;
Old sorrows rise up and beset me,
Old doubt make my spirit their own;
O, come through the darkness and sive
me,
For I am alone.

THE STAR'S FASHION HINTS.
""AN EVENT LONQ REMEMBERED.
It Occurs When a Girl Gets Her Firs
Evening Dress.
The first evening dress of a young girl is
a very Important thing, at least to her, and
should be chosen carefully with an eye to
getting off her youthful freshness and the
avoidance of -an air of maturity. It taa
great mistake to put young girls in thick
silks and satins and smother the slmpUci-
EEB FIRST EVENING GOVTS.
ty that is their chief charm under a load of
expensive materials that they have neither
the years nor experience to carry off welL
China silks, embroidered India mull, airy
nets and all sheer, dainty fabrics are suit
able and may be trimmed with silk or vel
vet ribbons and light lace. If jewels are
worn, they should be of the simplest. The
most fastidious taste dispenses with them
entirely until the ingenue stage is passed.
It is also much the best form to have the
corsage cut only half low. An extremely
pretty gown worn by a girl of 17 at a late
wedding reception was made of plain white
silk muslin, with a full waist gathered into
a belt, the neck being cut down but two
Inches all around and shirred with a little
heading. The puffed sleeves reached to the
elbow, and a few sprays ot smllax were the
only adornment. This unusually simple
attire gave the young girl, who, although
pretty, was rather heavy, a delicacy and re
finement of appearance which a more elab
orate toilet, such as she will have to wear
in two or three years, would have put out
of the question.
The gown of which a sketch is given Is
not so plain as the one just mentioned, but
Is nevertheless simple and appropriate
enough for the average young gtrL It is of
embroidered silk muslin, pale green in tint,
made over a silk lining of the same color.
The full muslin skirt hangs over a bell skirt
of the silk, around the bottom of which are
set moss green velvet rosettes at regular in
tervals. The full bodice is gathered in at
the waist under a belt trimmed with velvet
rosettes. The neck is cut square and is sur
rounded by a shirred ruffle of the muslin.
The sleeves, which extend almost to the el
bow, are very full, and over the upper half
velvet straps are tacked, ending in bows
and rosettes. White gloves are worn.

REST FOR MOTHER'S TIRED HANDS.
Beady Made Clothing For Children Is Now
- Pretty and Inexpensive.
It is a marveLthat any mother will spend
time in making the garments for her young
children, when their entire wardrobe can
be obtained ready made and well made
at so reasonable a cost. The children's
clothing shown this season is remarkably
pretty, and much of it is inexpensive. Blue
or pink and white striped lawn waists,

trimmed with ruffles and wide collars, may
be bought to go with little boys' fancy
suits, besides the usual white embroidered
ones, while the suits themselves are shown
in black, blue and drab, trimmed with
braid, the jacket being made short enough
to allow the light waist to appear below it.
White lawn aprons ruffled around the
armholes and with ribbons run through
embroidered beading about the low neck
and tied in bows on the shoulders are a nov
elty for small girls, while the display of
frocks and coats for very little people is
dainty in the extreme. There are fine ging
ham dresses mounted on a white embroid
ered yoke, with a bertha of white embroid
ery falling over the sleeves; charming, old
fashioned little gowns of white corded nain
sook sprinkled with tiny colored flowers
and made with full bodice, skirt and sleeves
and a wide nainsook sash; white Marseilles
coats, with capes, both trimmed with wide
embroidery, and ethereallzed sunbonnets,
very perky in the crown and flaring In the
brim and prettily embroidered. A beautl
tiful dress for a 4-year-old child is of bright
red cashmere. It is gathered into a tucked
yoke of the same material and has very full
Bleeves gathered Into a band at the wrist.
Fall epaulets of cashmere, finely embroid
ered with white silk on the edge, hang over
the shoulders.
The fashion of dressing very little girls
in short sleeved and low necked frocks, at
least during warm weather, has again come
around. It is charming to see the soft lit
tle necks and arms uncovered, but gowns
made in that style ought always to be pro
vided with a guimpe, to be adjusted at the
first hint of dampness or falling tempera
ture. An illustration is given of a frock
made of blue and white figured nainsook.
It is mounted in box plaits on the pointed
yoke, which Is made of bands of blue and
white insertion and surrounded by a ruffle
of embroidery to match. Blue ribbons are
fastened at the -under arm seams and tied
in a bow at the back, and blue bows adorn
the shoulders. '-, Jroic CHOIXKT.

rable. The old man's eyesight is failing.
The boy beoomes eyes to him. After a
lifetime spent in the thickest of life's'
battle the old man is spent and worn.
He finds rest and consolation in the com-'
pany of the child, and with him he lives
over once more his childhood days.
One day the little fellow's cheeks' are.
wet with tears. In answer to anxious
queries, he says:
"I'ze been cwyin. "
"Fes, I see, but what about?"
"I bweaked my toy wagon. "
"Oh, that is too bad."
And. with many expressions of sym
pathy the tears are wiped from the jrosy
cheeks, and the child is comforted until
he is smiling again. j
"Does yott. ever bweak your toys,
grandpa?" he. asks. " -
"Sometimes," the old man thought
fully replies as he brings to mind vari
ous shattered business schemes, broken
idols of one sort and another that have
strewn his pathway, 4 'sometimes, but, ' '
he adds, "the toys are not worth crying
about"
. "Did you cwy, grandpa?" ; .
"Yes, I cried when I broke my toys,
just like yon, little boy. "
"Well, why ain't de toys made
strong so dey won't break?" j
Dear little fellow I He does not know
that grandpa's toys and his were differ
ent, and grandpa does not tell him of
the frailer toys than his broken cart men
love and weep over their destruction,
but, after he has gone, sets to work
fashioning with his penknife a new cart
to take the place of the broken one, a
cart that will bear a child's usage, such
a one as will delight the heart of the
boy.
When finished, if was a beautiful
toy, .strong and durable, made of ,pine,
smoothed and oiled and trimmed in
brass headed nails.
A primitive workshop is fitted np and
little carts are made and presented to
other children. At last the idea gathers
force .until from the tiny shop go dimin
utive chairs and cradles, rockers, bed
steads, complete sets ol doll furniture
to .the various hospitals in the city. In

The Dntch System.
Professor Peabody, who gives in The
Forum some facts concerning the Dutch
system, says there are no great poor
houses and few ablebodied paupers in
Holland. There is a tract of pnblio land
containing 5,000 acres. 1 It is divided
into six model farms, and to one of
these is sent the poor person applying
for pnblio relief. If he voluntarily
serves till he learns agriculture, he is.
allowed to rent a small farm for him
self and be what is called a free farm
er. Every pauper who is thus reclaimed
to honest regular industry is so much
gain to the state. There is also a forced
labor colony, where beggars and va
grants are sent and made to do farm
and other work, whether they want to
or not " i

faowtct Clean Vool Upholsteries smd Pro-
tect From the Injurious Jkloth..
.One of the 'most important factors in "
the future comfort of the household is
that as little as "possible of wool mate
rial should be used in upholstery! There
are always raw silk tapestries dr petit
points for ordinary use, while silk goods
are not so expensive but that they are
within reach of most persons fpr best
Upholsteries composed largely of wool
axe always a source of anxiety. Do what
one will, there is no certainty tht some
moth may not select it for a home, and
then, even though the room m4y be in
constant use, some fine day my lady
may discover, to her dismay, tiat her
beautiful furniture is all cut t6 pieces
by this mischievous insect. If fchere is
danger in this direction, Modern Pris
cilla advises as. follows: 7
Invest in a few gallons of naphtha
and give each wool upholstered! article
a good shower bath. For this purpose
a small watering pot with th finest
sprinkler is necessary. Place the article
out of doors in a locality where phere is
a'strong current of air and shWer it
thoroughly with the naphtha. One rea
son why people fail in cleaning furni
ture is that they are too economical in
the use of naphtha It must be, literally
poured on to be effective. . Standing in
the breeze, it will evaporate verjf' quick
ly and will destroy every vestige .of
moths. If the articles are to b left in
the house, they may be wrappec in cot
ton cloths old sheets or similar cloths
are suitable and these may be very
tightly pinned around them. This keeps
a oertain amount of the odor in the fur
niture for along time and readers it
doubly safe. j
It cannot be too strongly emphasized
that no light of any kind must be taken
in the rooms while the naphtha cleaned
articles recently finished are thfere. It
is therefore well to store the furniture
in some portion of the house which is
not likely to be used The inflammable
nature of naphtha vapor makes it ex
ceedingly dangerous whep brought near
a flame. ; j
Cushions, carpets and wool draperies
may safely be cleaned in this -vfay, .and
if immediately wrapped and packed for
the summer will almost infallibly come
out right at the end of the season.
When again required for use, jail that
is necessary is to throw all draperies
over a line in the yard, open the win

Care of a Sickroom.
A sickroom that needs cleaning can be
made fresh and sweet without sweeping
and without dust by wiping everything
in it with a cloth wrung out of warm
water in which there are a f e v drops of
ammonia. The rugs and draperies,
though there should not be (any in the
room, the doctors tell us, may be put
upon the line for a thorough lairing and
wiped in the same way. The featner
duster, which should be banished be
cause it does no real good anywhere ex
cept to stir up and redisMbute the dust,
is especially out of place tn the sick
room, where there may be jand doubt
less often, are germs of disease in the
innocent looking dust. If a patient is in
a nervous state, a screen miy be placed
in frqnt of the bed while the freshening
goeson. If the room can onlybe heated
by a stove, the noise of putting in coal
can bo deadened by wrapping the coal
in a paper before putting on the fire.

LITHIA
WATER
Harris' Lithia Springs, S. C.
A water that contains about one
third more Lithia than the Buffalo
Lithia Water, and has not an equal
in the United States.
Read what the most
noted Physicians of
South Carolina have to
say for the Harris Lithia
Water:
After a long and varied experience m the use of
Mineral Waters from many sources, both foreign and
domestic I am fully persuaded that the Harru Lithia
Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions
of the Kidneys and Bladder unequalled by any other
Water of which I have made trial. .
This opinion is based noon observation of its effects
on my patients for the past three years, during which
time I have prescribed Ufreely aad almost umfurmly
withbonefitin the medicable maladies above men
tioned.
When failure to relieve has occured, 1 have im
pnted it to Insufficient use of the Water, for my expe
rience teaches me that from one to twe Qrttdaily
should be taken from two to four weeks, to seore its
full remedial effects. A. N.TALLY, M.I.
Columbia, S. C, October 8tb, 1892.
. Camden, January 26 1802.
J. T Hams, Esq., Harris' Spring, S. C:
Dear Sir:-I find great benefit from the use of j oot
Lithia Water. I consider it a fine tonic, a general
regnUtor of the digestion, as well .as very efficacious
inlhoWdisease. for whkh Lithia ui considered some
what of a specific. JUDGE J. B. KERSHAW.
Mr wife has been rising yonr Lithia Water aopis
very much benefitted. I consider it in every respect
equal to the famous Buffalo Lithia Water.
