E. C. McEVOY,
Up-Town Drug Store.
New York, December 21.—Among
the things that are seen in the stores
are neckwear of Irish crochet lace,
collar and cuff sets for waists and
coats, yokes and chemisettes.
Chiffon waists come in all colors—
those having the stripe and dotted
designs being the latest novelty.
These are trimmed with silk straps,
and have luce yoke, collar and cuffs.
Evening capes in military style are
seen in chiffon broadcloth in white,
pink, blue, light gray and tan colors.
Some are silk lined and trimmed with
velvet, others, are braided in the color
to match the cape and finished with
fancy ornaments.
A wonderful combination of furs
is a turlun of chinchilla trlnune 1
with white plumes and a. wide neck
piece and very large muff of silver
fox. These two light tones are beau
tiful together.
A new collar is made of Irish
crochet or elimy insertion with a tia--
row edge and is two or more inches
wide. Collars that show touches of
color have bows to match to he worn
with them.
The mosquitaire sleeve is very pop
ular. It is made to fit snugly some
little way before it roaches the wrist
and then it Is finished with a iHdnt
lover the hand.
Seal fur is used as a trimming on
1 elaborate costumes. One of new blue
tussore silk was trimmed with cm-
1 hroideu-ed filet lace and sable.
The chiffon veil continues to he
ween, but now they must lie larg"
enough to cover the entire hat. Tlio
square veils are good for this purpose
although for motoring, it should be
long enough to be brought round and
tied in front, besides being la or
more inches wide.
Gowns made in Grecian style are
very effective. The Greek key design
is used as the trimming and the tunic
Is draped in the classic folds.
The sleeves and tunic are both drail
ed in pointed effects and finished with
tassels.
English eyelet and filet combina
tions are new and pretty. A late
novelty is tile cross-bar ground in
some thin fabric which is embroider
ed. Openwork and solid embroidery
comes in sets of wide tlounciiigs and
narrow ones uni insertions.
Smart suits for street wear have
the skirt of check, plaid or stripe and
the coat of a plain dark color. The
plaid skirt is invariably cut on the
circular model and the coat is the
usually single breasted cutaway.
Some late fool gear is the high cut
hoot of patent bather with kid or
cloth tops, in button or lace. Rus
set Russian calf boots tire much
worn.
The dog rollur is one of the pres
ent. fads with the fashionable. Some
are made entirely of diamonds and
others of pearls. Often ns many as
ten strands go around the throat and
the same number fall over the nec-t
and shoulders Jade set in dull gold
is a most beautiful necklace.
Rlaid sil
orti and
dsts are very mticn
trimmed with hands
plain taffeta in r
with buttons

4 THE OLD CHURCH 4
4 AND THE OLD YEAR. 4
4444444444T44+4*
Last Wednesday night at the First
Methodist church in Gainesville the
regular prayer meeting hour was tak
en up in one of the sweetest and
saddest services ever held in the city
by any denomination. The formal
farewell was said to the old build
ing which has sheltered the flock for
just thirty years.
Dr \V. J. Cotter, the oldest living
Methodist preacher of the state, was.
invited to be present, and his rem
iniscences were the feature of the ex
ercises. His father laid off the city
in the early eighties and named the
town of Gainesville. He was a guest
while here of Rev. J. It. King, who
was his pastor for several years at
New nan The pastor. Rev. Mr. Fra-
Hon. H. H. Perry, the presiding
elder, and a number of others spoke.
The following paper oil the person
al association of the old building was
D. (». Bickers, and by spe
cial request of a mini her is here re
produced :
“Away down in the tenderest of
human hearts there is ever an exqui
site shrinking from the formal fare
well. Somehow my own heart seems
tenderer as I feel that perhaps it had
been well if we could have left the
old church without bidding it good
bye. If some morning the sun had
kissed only the crest of the wave
where the old ship had silently sunk
down in the shadows before the break
ing of the day, and h ird by, the mag
nificence of the newer and statelier
vessel had been seen, its beauty and
its comeliness eclipsing the sorrow
and erasing the toH^r-sad sentiments
I think it would have been a sweet
er change.
“But the old year dies. Lying se-
serenely in the shadows it tells of its
life in hushed whispers the memo
ries and the hopes, the fears and tie*
tears, the happy whiles and the bright
days, the troublous midnight dreams
and the radiant day-dawns. And some
how we cannot when the Old Year
is spe iking bring ourselves to remem
ber the rosy little stranger who awaits
the glad welcome of the morrow.
“Into the old church, as a child, I
have been led by the hand of the fath
er, who used in the dear days gone
by and dead forever to tell his expe
rience in the love-feasts from his seat
in the amen corner—with the tears

HE HELPED A LOT.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A philanthropic Cleveland man
heard the other day of a family down
In the flats who were in extreme need
of financial aid. He made a trip
down to the poor, miserably furnish
ed home and found that the family
was, Indeed, having a struggle to get
enough to eat. He pulled three $5
hills out cf Ills wallet and handed It
to the gaunt, halt-starved looking
mother and told her to take it and
spend it as she thought best.
^ few days later he returned to see
how the family were getting along.
Alt the member* in sight still looked
poorly fed.
“Did you buy some groceries with
that $15?" he asked.
“Well, no,” sadl the woman, with
some hesitation, "you see, it was the
first time we had so much money all
at once and It looked like such a good
chance that we each went up and had
a dozen cabinet photographs taken.”"

THE EARL OF MINTO’S
BROKEN NECK
From Ixindon Tit-Bits.
Very few people know that the Earl
of Minto, viceroy of India, is the only
man who has survived a broken
neck. In his younger days the Earl
was one of the most daring and ar
dent of sportsmen, and he scarcely
had a rival in riding, rowing, shooting
and fishing. His lordship's grpat pas
sion. however, was for horse riding,
and it is related how he trek his de
gree in a riding costume covered by
an academic gown. Immediately af
ter the ceremony he leaped into tho
saddle and galloped off to the race
course, arriving just in time to win'
the Varsity steeplechase. In 1S7G the
Earl rode Zero In the race for the
Grand National, and It was then that
he nearly met his death. Zero fell at
one of the fences and every cne
thought that the rider had been in
stantly killed with a broken neck. Sir
James Paget was summoned. an-.l
even to the doctor's astonishment his
lordship recorded, the famous phy
sician declaring that in the whole cf
his exiierience it was the only in
stance he knew of the vertebra go
ing back into its place fttor being
stretched.
