Becamler Corset Cover Designs for Ball Dresses Which Will Come Into riay After the Close of the Lenten Season For the Gazette New Yohk March 311S90 CCORD1NG to Em- erson ¬ religion is powerless to inspire that delightful feel- ing ¬ of self satisfac- tion ¬ that glow of contentment which results from the consciousness of be- ing ¬ well dressed And Emerson was right If the choice were forced upon me Id rather bo well dresBed than well bred for I could conceal the one defeot while 1- couldnt the other Ah me Easter is upon us When my grandmother was youug and oharm- ing the Sunday be- fore ¬ Easter so she tells me was always the period of a dreadful conflict on the battle plain of her soul I wonder if r shall have a new bonnet for next Sunday It was a catchascatoh can between devotions and fashions and the prayers always went down with Easter novelties on top That was dread- fully ¬ wicked 1 suppose But is it dif- ferent ¬ now It does seem as if the men wore right there is always a woman or some article of womans toggery in the case Poor Desdamena Nothing but a- handkerobief Now if Cassio had given her a 30 Easter bonnet there might have been some cause for the row kioked up- by the Moor- Speaking of Easter let mo direct your attention dear sister to the initial cut Imagine a queenly figure rising not from the sea but from a seat on a divan clad in a mauvo cendre veloutine with train having ombroiaered effeols en- tablier with a thick silk oording The train of the same material opens on each side over a velvet underskirt a shade or two darker thaa the silk The upper eleove is pleated in one large and one small puff from the shoulders The est being silk embroidered to match tho skirt Tho waist springs from a pointed corselet of embroidery that frames the corsage back and front With this exquisite costume set- ting ¬ as it were the dotlet on- tho i goes a dainty little Theodora ca- poto with standing loops of mauve vel- vet ¬ on tho front and a fillet of Parma violets clasping the hair behind Ive often tried to picture to myself what thoughts must Hash through the mind of some great creator of modes when some one of his ravishing toilets lias been built upon a remarkably fine figure and he sits silently contemplating his completed work Possibly he may murmur to himself Nature meant well She made a very fair beginning Heboid the work completed Hero is an Easter dimogue Come come my dear We shall be late to church 4 How unreasonable you aro mamma Here youvo ueen saving money all win- ter ¬ for my Easter outfit and now want me to rush off before I have arranged my bonnet properly Id rather miss the entire first lesson than give those Tabb- cirls a chanoe to say Lord have mercy upon that unbecoming bonnet of Miss liOvebodys Tho thickly embroidered onrsagG and sleeves piotured in the engraving give a good idea of tho tine effect gained by elaboration in this manner of trimming a dress The oloth is a mouse gray and the embroidery in mediaeval stylo The fourreau is of Parma velvet embroi- dered ¬ with gold silver and steel and the train of plain mouse gray cloth The shaDe of the sleeve Is to be noted commencing high and full on the shoul- der ¬ and fitting tight at the wrist Black net and lace are used a great deal this season for bonnets and tiats When sprigged net is employed it is usually puffed loosely over the shape and the flowers are either inserted among the puffs in front or somewhat to one side Blaok tullo must be gathered more closely and tho trimming may then con- sist ¬ of a knot of pale blue pink or maize velvet balancing a bouquet of- llowers The dictum has gone forth that hats are to remain small One 6tvle will consist of black lace embroidered with white Aigrettes lace butterflies jet and steel ornaments will set them off Greens old rose straw maize and or- ange ¬ tints and shades of violet aro to be the prevailing colors The third picture represents a very pretty costume of sulphuryellow crepe de chineembroidered with bronze beads The train is of brocaded crepe de chine confined around the hips by an embroid- ered ¬ band of velvet It is suitable for a church toilet and the original will be worn by the womac whose face is por- trayed ¬ The Easter bonnetE ought to be wel- comedby ¬ the woman who is alas no- Jonger thirty They are so delicate daintv and altogether divine well aual

cut gown and carefully con- structed ¬ figure beneath a huge cloak the result is that the majority of women are going about in a halfclothed and halffrozen condition The fact is that many of them dare not wear anything over the ridiculous sleeves now in vogue for fear of spoiling them whilst others cannot bear to sacrifice a smart gown to comfort It has been absolutely dis- tressing ¬ to see women going about in these recent cold days in the face of biting winds in flimsy wraps and cos- tumes ¬ which a couple of months hence one might have cautiously donned They make a brave show of looking

Yet when we take the trouble to complete the list of their distinguished literary contempora- ries ¬ he does not find a single case in which the man showed bad judgment John Stuart Mills always adored

Gazette Makiexfeld Tex April 1 Muoh has been said and much remains to be said of the Staked Plains The fact is the half has never been told and only men with strong determination will ever find out what can be done Every man looks to his own interest and every man differs in his opinion as to the adaptabil- ity ¬ of the soil of the Staked Plains To hear this reasoning reminds one of a mirage which changes as you proceed on your journey When the first pioneer settled on the Staked Plains it was con- sidered ¬ only fit for stook Oh no noth- ing ¬ but stook could be raised here and at the same time the soil was covered with rich grasses and flowers Next came the man with tho hoe and sowed seed which came forth in all Its splendor the corn and wheat was con- sidered ¬ to be equal to that raised in any state in the Union It was then considered a fit place for the man with the hoe The old Texan looked upon the plains as a barren waste the cattleman believed it- to be only fit for cattle while the man with the hoe saw in the Staked Plains a good farming country The question is now what next Now comes the horti- culturist ¬ and shouts Eureka Eureka We baye found it to be the best fruit country in the world the home of the grape the wine producing grape where the raisen grape has matured on the vine where the black rot does not come neither does the mildew affect us- Suoh is the rapid stride made in Martin county Tex still the Plains has its drawbacks and men view her with super- stition ¬ beoause nature does not make her a paradise and remove all the evils that oame with the fall of man Think of this that a country where na- ture ¬ has refused to give rain since last November could revive again that the rich grasses that all the time been hidden come forth with renewed vigor and the plains dresses herself in gar- ments ¬ of green but such Is the case The peach pear apple and shade trees have decked themselves with the beauti- fuI green foilage only known to them patiently holding up their leaves to catch the rain when it does come The bloom although hit by a frost that froze three fourths of an inch thick is still there as sound as a bell The fact of the matter is our temperature i3 dry and it would take a very heavy frost to kill the bloom Thus we are progressing and the Staked Plains is rapidly coming to the front The question is still asked what next and the answer is the half has never been told Yes we have the vine country with no superior where the grape can be raised for profit and the richest quality of wine can be ma e This is done on land costing only 2 per acre Only a year or two ago not one live vine or fruit tree could be found in the county now they cumber up in the thousands The Marienfeld irrigation company have this year bought more than 100000 treea and vines which have been delivered to them at Marienfeld This was the lar- gest ¬ order ever made in the state o m the brisk Gay hearts bounding The smile chant ing

Yery Smart Men Who Could EIze Up TheirOwn Sex
New York Commercial AdvertiserA writer in the London Speotator has

Beginning with Justinian it-
is shown how one man after another whowas preeminent as a judge of menfailed dismally in the selection of the onewoman who was to be his oonstant coun-
selor¬
The greatest failures seem tohave been made by the men who areessentially diplomatists Charles IIwhose judgments of men history hasnever reversed never secured even afaithful mistress Marlborough per-
