Usually, the lawns about 'farm residences are permitted to grow ]a crop of grass which is either mowed, ||or fed off by stock, giving it a ragged s* >anu shabby appearance. A correspond- p>f#^nt'of fhe Paxton Record, in spiking of lawns, says: "Not the least argument Ifefe^fbr lawns is fhe permanence of their Iftp^beauty. In spring the grass shoots up N, ^almost as soon as the crocus and snow- , drop appear; and, if the soil has been t 'well projwvred, the lawn in midsummer 'V ,'̂ is almost as green as in spring. The isight of ehilcfren playing on the velvet j*..p^furf, or of the shadow of graceful trees ^stretching across it, is worthy of a paint- ̂ ; er« The winds which despoil trees and flowers of their beauty, and the frosts which blight them, leave the grass un- asriiied. And m autumn, amid falling ' leaved and prevailing gloom, it retains its cheerful verdure till hidden by the winter snows. There is an air of refine- ':%i<" ment in a well-kept lawn. Hf dis ̂ :4-' ^tmguishea a place at onee from fhe un­ cultivated wilderness of nature. If speaks of the hand of taste which ha* ,'Ip/ I fenced in this nook from the common »,̂ a earth, smoothing down its roughness, . heightening its native beauty, and still watching over it with affectionate care. •'# It* links fhe spot, by association, with the t _ jifligaaf and-happy homes of other lands ' and other times. This is a subject over which one might almost grow eloquent, but we leave the reader to think upon - M ' J . • • fhe lawn question.

SPRING STYLES* Baffin and French buntbag beautiful combination for walking suits. - High fmaes and long jabots will be the leading styles for neckwear this spring.

Breton lace drapery scarf? twine all around bonnet crowns, and then form the strings of many bonnet*. All sorts of hats, bonnets, turbans and caps aie in vogue this spring for outdoor as well as indoor wear.

American women who are sensible as well as tasteful avoid English styles of Ml mascuMiie Derby hats,- maniah ulsters, and Jackets for street wear. Pompadour gauzes with alternate lace and satin stripes, with flower and vine patterns over the same, made up in com binaiion with plain silk and satin, make very stylish summer evening dresses.

Character ia the sulo^tanoe, reputation the shadow only--sometimes longer, and sometimes shorter. How import­ ant, then, ia care in the growth and formation of habits, since character is but a "bundle of habits" that years have been jacking up and combining; and, when combined, you may annihilate the composition, but you cannot alter it. It is no easy matter to drop habits, even those that hang most loosely upon the outsidfe. We have an attachment to them, or they have an attachment to us, which is not readily separated. They are like an old pair of shoes, which, though there are no advantages attend* ing them, still are eaay, and we are loth to "cast them off." They are like an old hat, which, though it has become Unsightly, still sita comfortably ,tqt our head, and we dread the breaking of a new one. • n •* JL VICTORIOUS SCBOOLMA'AM, ~ , Miss Blaisdell found that the biggest boy in her North Adams school was un­ ruly, and made up her mind to settle fhe question of tupremaey definitely.
