AT PLAIT.
BY EUGENE FIELD.
Play that you arc a rnother dear
. And play that papa is your beau:
Phy that we sit in the comer here,
lust as we used to long ago. v
Playing so, we lovers two .
Are just as happy as we can be.
And I'll say "I love you" to you
And you say "I love you" to me!
"I love you" we both shall say.
All in earnest and all in play.
Or. play that you are that other one
That some time came, and went away;
'And play that the light of years agone
Stole into my heart again to-day!
Playing that you are the one I knew
In the days that never again may be.
. I'll say "I love you" to you,
And you say "I love you" to me!
"I love you!" my heart shall say
To the ghost ot the past come back, to
day!
Or play that you sought this nestling
place
For your own sweet self, with that dual
guise
Of your pretty mother in your face
And the look oi that other in your
eyes!
So the dear old loves shall live anew
As I hold my darling on mv knee,.
And I'll say, "I love you" to you.
And you say "I love yon" to me!
Ob, many a strange true thing we say
And do when we pretend to play!

THE STAR'S FASHION HINTS.
A TEA GOWN SUGGESTION.
rnU Tuxklslt Trousers With M tulta Over
dress Would Compose Noelty.
There is np article in the modern wom
an's wardrobe that combines ease and
beauty quite so completely as the tea
gown. Its lightness, looseners and freedom
from stiffening render it eminently com
fortable, while t offers opportunities for
the daintiest and most coquettish orna
mentation. It may have a round skirt or a
train; it may be low necked or high
kecked; it may be Bhort sleeved or long
kleeved, just as the fancy of the wearer dic
tates and as is most becoming to her. For
the more simple styles challie is a favorite,
material, as it combines weH with silk, lace
paid ribbon, but in spite of the theoretical
Simplicity and Informality of the garment
there is no limit to the amount of money
that may be spent on it or the ways in
which it may be elaborated.
In respect to the general mode of making,
princess, empire and watteau styles arp

tea gowns as to everything else, and since
the introduction into this country of ihe
cretmino JaDanese kimonos, with their
winded sleeves and wide sash, there se$ms
to hi- no hope of further novelties unless
Indent somebody sets the fashion of wear
ing Turkish dress full trousers and muslin

this is a season of spangles, the costume
could be trimmed in an appropria.tely'glit

the merit of offering an excuse, on the
ground of characteristic national custom
necessarily followed, for that blackening of
the eyelids so frequently seen here without
any excuse at all unless ill judged vanity
be one.
The Parisienne deals rather more fanci
fully with the bouse gown than we venture
to do in spite of our many vagaries. Where
we shorten the sleeves she dispenses with
them altogether, and where wo content our
selves with a slight round, jointed or
square shaping of the neck, bflcjk ftft4 fjont,
she has the bodice cut away alnjosjai rnjuch
as a ball corsage. The effect is often r&de
niably pleasing, as In tne gown of whicha
Bketch is given, tjut it ought to be seQ only
by artificial light, which la in itself 4 sort
of cloak. The garment is composed of yel
lowish ecru satin, with lace to maVeh. The
Bklrt of lace over satin falls full and
straight. A white satin ribbon crosses the
corsage above the bust and is carried around
to the back, where It is tied n a watteau
bow. Another ribbon surrounds the waist
and is taken np under the bust, where it
forms a rosette on each side, from which
falls a long end. A knot oFribbon adorns
each shoulder'. Two deep, lace flounces
form a flchu pointed back and front, Veil

In the matter of fancy work, fashion is
unmistakably retrograding. For 10 years
past we have enjoyed tne reign of good
taste. In place of stiff monstrosities of em

artistlo adaptations of natural forms have
been used, worked in sq.bdtied.but farutbiul

Two Brothers.
Two small boys signaled a street car.
and when it stopped it was notified that
the one boy was lame. With much solio
itnde the other boy helped the cripple
aboard the car r and after telling the con
ductor to go ahead returned to the side
walk. The lame boy braced himself npin
bis seat, so that Hb could look out ot the
car window, and the other passengers ob
served that at intervals the little fellow
would wave his hand and smile. Follow
ing. th6 dlfeqtton o his glances the passen
gers saw thfe other boy running along the
sidewalk. Straining every muscle to keep
np with the ear. The passengers watched
his pantomime in silence for a few blocks,
and then a gentleman asked the lame boy
who the other boy Was. "My brother,"
was the prompt reply. "Why does he not
ride with yon in the carf " was the next
question. " 'Cause he hasn't any money,"
answered the lame boy sorrowfully. The
little runner was speedily invited Into
the; car, and ho eympatdaotu questioner
not only paid his fare, but gave each boy
a quarter besides. Ram'a Horn.
Indian Boys Flay "White Man.1
Our knowledge of the paleface was lim
ited, but We had learned that he brought
goods whenever he came, and thai our
people exchanged fan for bis merchandise.
We also knew, somehow, that his com
plexion waa white, that he wore short hair
on his head and long hair on his face, and
that he had coat, trousers and hat, and
did not patronize blankets in the day
time. This was die picture we had form
ed of the white man. So we painted two
or three of our number with white clay
and put on them birchen hats, which we
sewed np for the occasion, fastened a piece
of far to their chins for a beard and al
tered tjher costume as much as lay within
our power. The white of the birch bark
was made to answer for their white shirts.
Their merchandise consisted ot sand for
sugar, wild beans for coffee, dried leaves
for tea, pulverized earth far gunpowder,
pebbles for bullets, and clear water for
dangerous "fire water." We traded for
these goods with skins of squirrels, rabbits
and'small birds. Dr. Charles A. Eastman.
That Boy.
Hurralxformel I'm "that boy." Grand
mother talks about him. She says, "There
is that boy again I'' I wonder If she wants
me to be a girl. Then, whenever I go near
the girls playing doll tea party, they be
gin to grab np their things and cry, "Oh,
there comes that boy I" I would just as
aoon be some oljher boy, but I can't. Papa
says, "What IS that boy np to nowf" just
as though a boy didn't have to be up to
something or bust. What's wrong with
being a boyf Papa was one, and grandma
she couldn't be. Papa is always say
ing "When I was a boy." I guess it's all
light to be a boy, or God wouldn't make so
many, but maybe I'm not the best kind.

development of electricity as a trac

ELECTBIC OHHIBTJB.
Ing results, novel to our ezperienoes here,
bao been attained, conoernlng which the
new York Sun has the following to Bay:
British eloctrioal engineers have devoted
. themselves to the problem of devising an
elSoqiive and oheap method of electrib trac
"tloii for all manner ot ordinary vehicles on
the streets ot the cities and the turnpikes
trf tlio-oountry, and eleotrlo cabs and car
riages, omnibuses and trucks, have bean
the aim of British electricians. Perhaps
the fact that there are some 9,000 miles
of excellent turnpike, roads in Groat Brit
ain and that fanners are largely using
steam engines for hauling their traffic
oyer the roads! has something to do with
the direction of their Investigations.
A few weeks ago an eleotrlo parcels van
was run experimentally through the busi
est of London's streets, and an electric om
nibus mado similar trial trips about the
same time. So tar as the operation of the
vehicles was concerned the expeHmenta
wore a success. The designers claim equal
success for tne financial end of the experi
ment Three companies have been formed
to operate vehicles with the same methods
of traction, ana it is declared by the ex
pertsthat the era of electrio traction on
common roads has definitely set in. In
1883 an eleotrlo cab, the first electrio ve
hicle of the kind carrying Its own energy in
storage form,' was invented and operated
by Mr. Badcliff e Ward, who is the inventor
Of the latest success, the electrio omnibus.
The oab was : run In Brighton for some
months and demonstrated the possibilities
of this method of traction, but not Its
eoonomlo success.
The motive power for all such vehicles
on common roads Is of course derived from
storage batteries carried in the vehicles
themselves. Both the electrical omnibus
and the electrio parcels van have been run
ning in the streets of London for several
weeks. They roll along steadily and
easily and thread their way among the
mass of cabs, omnibuses and truoks with
a nicety that excites general admiration.
They are under perfect control and run at
different speeds as the circumstanoes war

The bus can carry 85 passengers 10 on
each side in the Interior and six on a cross

bfcles there will bo less wear and tear on
the roadways, for all the pounding of
horses' Thoof s will be done away with. The
weight of the electrical vehicles will be
great, "but the tires of the wheels will be
broad. Wood or other noiseless pave
ments will become universal, and the tre
mendous volume of street noise which now
afflicts the public will be almost wholly
abated. Pneumatic tires for electrical ve
hicles are a probability. ,

LITHIA

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
rioted Physicians of
South Carolina have to
say for the Harris Lithia
Water:
After a Ion and varied experience m the use ol
Mineral Waters from many 'sources, both foreign aud
domestic I am fully persuaded that the Hams
WaleTrasesses efficacy in the treatment of affl.ct .
of theTHdneyi and Bladder unequalled by any other
Water of which I have made trial.
This opinion is based noon observation of tu effects
on my patients for the past three years, dunng
time I have prescribed itfreely sad almost unifurmiy
with bonefitln the medicable maladies above meu
tioned.
When faDttre to relieve has occured, 1 have ip
pnted it to insufScieat use of the Water, for mv 1
rienee teaches me that from one to two quarts a ai 7
should be taken from two to four weeks, to
full remedial effects. A. N.TALLY. M. v
