'Ribbons of all kinds are still in muoh request, for tho do cor at ion of hats, as as woll as bonnets. Sometimes two stralghi'rows of bows are placed sym metrically In front of tho crown. They may be made of ribbon of two colors' bowed up together, such as green and brofen for brown straw, and blue and Crimson (or blue or black. This fash Ion of arranging bows is often applied to. country and garden hats, and Is par ticularly suitable when thoro is a mix ture of two colors in the straw. Gold spotted strings are also used for this ^'smifrt, dressy hats are usually moro or lees trimmed with flowers.

I heard this romance to-day in con nection with a young lady who was an ocoupant of tho White House during. Jacksou's time, and who was marriod in the great East Boom: Mary Easton was tho daughter of a sister of General Jackson's wife. She went to llvo with her annt for a time in the Executive Mansion. At her homo in Tennessee she, had played when a child with a boy oompanion named Pope. The two became warmly attaohed to eaoh other, and as they grew tho attach ment became strong aftootion. While it was apparent to Both that thoy lovod eaoh othor, yquug Pope did not ask his oompanion to become his wife. Miss Easton camo to Washington. Her position and her intelligence and accomplishments made her doubly at traotire in sooiety. Young ofiloers in the army and in tho navy were beside her at every opportunity. Captain Finoh took the load. Ho prossoa his Suit,.proposed and was aooepted. He was possessed of oonsldorablo moans and save her handsome presents. Tho wedalng day approached. Invitations froro sent to tho frlonds of tho young people, asking thom to come to tho Whlto Houso to witness tho ooromony. Tho prospeotlvo bridegroom wout to New Y ork to got his prospbctlvo bride her wedding presout. Of the invitations sont to Tonnossoe, one fell into tho hands of young Pope. It fanned the smothoring love within his bosom into a flamo. Ho wrote to Miss Easton, told hot of his lovo slnoo childhood for her. He said that time and again ho ? had boon at tho ^>oint of asking her to be his wife, but on eaoh ocoaslon his modesty had pro vented" him. Now ho repoatod his lovo, and beggod his to bocomo his bride. MUs Easton read tho letter and im mediately repllod, aooopting his offor. .^Captain Finoh returned from Now York, bringing with him a costly dia mond ornament. Ho callod at the Whito Houso to soo tbo young kuly oo ' oupant Sho Was in her room with a oompanion who was to be her brides mala when his oard reached hor. "Tell him I ean not soe him," she ?aid to hor companion. The latter went to tho private parlor <^rhere Captain Pinoh was seated, and, aftoc some hoiltancy, said that Miss Easton was lndisposod. ' Tho Captain was alarmed, beggod for moro informa tion of the indisposition, and asked that the present ho had brought bo taken to the invalid. Tho young lady oarriod the diamond ornament to her oompan* Ion. When Miss Easton reoelvea it [ the turned to hor companion and said: "Go tako It back to him, and toll him all. Tell him X am ongaged to an other." . Tho young lady did as roquested When she nad ilnishod -her or rand Captain Finoh arose, and, without ut toilng a word. left'tUo parlor. i/Genoral Jaokson was angry when ho heard of his wlfo's tolatlvo^s action to ward his frlond Finch.

Colborne, a member of Hicks Pasha's staff, has received from an eye-witness the story of tho final oatas tropho of tho army of his unfortunato ohlof.
