GURGLES WITH DELIGHT. jitew BCflaa la XrM CooLa Tbt Pl a We term SocUrr Iditor. We "notion from our Camera exchanges th aomo of the popular shades in dress roods this winter are described as 'dragon's blood, "olephant breath and a palo pink called "stifled sighs." We Just gurgled with delight when we heard this, saja the Lo&sen (CaL) AdYocit, because all these colon are bo unique. We were real glad with a - Pan-American rladnes3 for the: dear girls, for a girl loves to be unique; don't you know, eren if she has, to wear it under her wrapper. A girl dressed in elephant's breath,- hung in graceful folds and loo pod-up and fastened at the cor ners with stifled sighs, with a corsage of old gold slashed with dragon's gore, would bo just too lovely for any thing. We have boon sighing for just such a Irl f r years, but our sigh had 'hardly stifle enough in it to match the new color. We have sent for a remnant of Btifled sigh to make a necktie of it. It appears to us that elephant's breath would bo rather strong for real comfort in tho summer time, especially. if the elophant was inclined to be dissipated. We aro induced to mako these harsh remarks by observing that men who are around all night to 6ce tho elephant lAve a breath on them in tho morning that tucy can hang their hats on and bavo cncg!i left to start the firo with. Dragon's blood should only be worn in spots, a la polka dot, as it wore, and should never bo worn without boing well sprinkled with asho3 of rosea totonoJt -down. In tho abaonco of roses, wood ashes or cigar ashes would answer ts tcIL Cut there is a fullness and a pathos about the stifled sigh which will mako it a rank favorito tho moment so ciety corrals it. It is so delicate and jci. so Tar-reaching. A sigh at any time is a dear thing to look at, but when it is stifled and worn full in tho back, with box-plaltlng down tho tides and caught up with silver buckles into a double cinch about the waist, it is dmply a dream. THE STREET-CAR HOG. Ther Aro Tlxn When the Porker lm Not of thn Mucollio Gcador. . J - Tho streot-car bog is as various as tho human race. Sometimes tho hog has its own way and sometimes it doesn't. It was on a bobtail car, says the Washing ton Post. A gorgeous! y-atti rod woman .with a square chin and strident voice gets in with a couple of friends. She fills the only vacant spare. To a quiet, unassuming gentleman next to her she 'Says: "Sir, will you kindly get me a pack ago of tiAotsT" He pulls outof tho seat into which she bad wedged him to get tho tickets. She slides along, her party squirms in, and in a second tho space tho gentleman va cated Is fulL?r than ever. The gentle man returns with the tickets, and asks: "How many out? To which madam replies with an air of concealed triumph: . "Nonol" . And takes tho package. Every body "catcnes on" and smiles or frowns, as" each considers it a joke or a put-up job. The gentleman failed, to. catch the drift of merriment, seemingly, but hooks on to a strap as if ho wero all right. Suddenly ho fools in one pocket, thon in another,' and then remarks: "Pardon; mc, madam, but I think yon aro sitting on something that is mine." ' "Am IT sho asks, and risos heavily that ho may got it. Ho slips into th,o vacant seat. "Yoa, madam. You were sitting on my seat. Madam is paralyzed, and the passen gers laugh, giggle, scream, shout, roar or howl, according to age, sex or pre vious condition of - servitude. Tho mortiflcd woman pulls tho bell strap and tries to backoff before the car stops, with a face you could, light a cigar by, leaving her friends behind. Tho gentle man looks serenely unconscious, and a sar full of pooplo feel comfortable tho rest of tho way homo because ono car hog has gotten such a come-upanco. A DANBURY JOKE. . A CoflLa for a XJre Uu and m Rear for the Undertaker. The Danbury (Conn.) News tells this itoryof the way tho monotony 'of llfo is varied In tho hatting town: A certain manager of a larg produce concern, whom wo will call Dick,' which, by tho way, is not his proper came, attended an all-night party at New Mliford the other night. lie got home tho next morning, and. being very sleepy, went to his room. Ho was very soon sound in slumber, so deep that neither his book-keeper nor sales man could arouse him. They mado arrangements with an undertaker for a iheap coffin to bo sent to Dick's board, lng-hou5e, and that the doep sleeper ahould be dressed and placed In it. The intention was to astonish tho manager with his ' surround ings when ho awoke. The undertaker's helper, who is a stranger in Danbury,' was delegated with the work, and was under tho impression that it was a sorpse that was. to be stretched. Arriv ing at the boarding-house he inquired, as told, for Dick's room. The astonished servant girl showed the man of f coffins and caskets the dc 1 apartment There was the supposed corpse on the bed, with his back to tho undertaker. Now, the coffin in question was one of the sheapest kind, and the young man nat urally supposed- that the deadman was without friends or kin or that it was a charity case. lie gave the slumbering sorpse a pall on his back se roughly that Dick opened his eyes in astonish ment and roared out: "What in thunder aro you doing h$re?" The opened eyes and tho awful roar were too much for the undertaker. With a cry he fled from the room, jumped on his team and drove back to the undertaker's es tablishment in .hot haste.' Arrivingat the store he rushed breathlessly into the office and-barely gaspedyout that: "The dead man had comexo life and swore at me!
