In the spring a woman's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of hats, and judging from the beauty and variety of t he elaborate creations on display at the several "millinery openings" now in progress here, the feminine fancy is afforded a feast of finery and a flow of fashion unprecedented in the annals of similar events within the time the memory of the oldest inhabitant runneth not to the contrary. o flumsv man, with 1 ui a i vtuvy ?- ??? w crude artistic ideas, to attempt to describe the beauty of form and perfection of color scheme, with just the proper proportion of that subtle and elusive element yclept style, would be like trying to paint a picture of the Madonna on a barn v door with house paint, and The Record's reporter who made the rounds of the local millinery stores can give his impressions only in the vaguest and most uncertain way. The prevailing style see us to run to size and some of the pattern hats are simply huge. At Mrs Marcus' a crowd of ladies were looking over a display of hats that even to the uninitiated eye gave evidence of discriminating taste in their selection. Mrs Marcus has . quite a variety of the tailored hats, one of the most popular of the new spring models. These hats are said ^ to be quite the thing this season. While here we h^ard many compliments to Mrs Marcus on the beauty and variety of her offerings. \* Mrs Jenningsand Misses Gale and Parker were quite busy during our "look-in" at that popular establish" ment, but Miss Gale found time to show us some of their prettiest hats and trimmings. Answering our inquiry whether she had any of the "Chantecler" hats designed after the characters Rostand's great play of the same name which has all Paris by the ears, Miss Gale said that up North she had noticed only one woman wearing a stuffed rooster on her hat, which is the "Chantecler" style, the play being simply a poetic fable in which the whole drama of human society is symbolized by barnyard fowls. Miss Gale stated further that in selecting her line of hats and millinery she had endeavored to avoid the extreme of the ultra fashionable, as typified by the "Chantecler" freak monstrosity,and at the same time to give her patrons the smartest models in chic millinery creations, and a glance about her establishment would indicate that she had succeeded admirably in carrying tv xxxxxxxxx V*V%WWV*V\V*V*Vl LA Wedi 'v* ' \ | r ' ' C L >PRI jsday &' to come, ladies, and see th lafer, who will take pleasu INGSTRE i out her intention. In the millinery annex to the j Kingstree Dry Goods Co's handsome emporium Miss Shafer, the milliner, and several assistants were flitting from one to another of the crowd of 'spectators showing and explaining ! the latest modes in chapeaux and trimmings and other accessories to | the crowning ornament of lovely j woman. The pattern hats both in design and trimming showed the result of excellent taste and certainly one would be fastidious indeed not to find something pretty and becoming in the way of head adornment. Altogether the millinery exhibitions this year are quite in keeping with the growth and progress ' of "Greater Kingstree." Time was when the ladies who wanted to be in style had to order their hats and take chances as to quality and ma! terial, as well as getting just what they liked; unless by a lucky chance the hat was becoming and suitable in all respects, the buyer had the choice of keeping something unsuitj able cfr paying almost the value of i the hat in express charges. Then, 1 too, the good ladies missed all the j pleasure of going the rounds of the shops, exchanging news and views, and the privilege of "trying on" many different styles of hat until one suited. The Meanest Man. The meanest man on life's highways Is not the man who's bent I On making loans for thirty days At ten or twelve per cent. He's not the tuar. wrho wore his brain Into a frazzled wreck To make a button of a wart That grew upon his neck. He's not the man who saved his heels B> walking on his toes. He's not the man who saved his teeth JBy talking through his nose. ' The meanest nun is not the one Whose greed insatiate Caused him to climb the fence to save The hinges on thejfate. The meanest man on earth today Is not the man who totes A quart of shoepegs to his horse And palms them off for oats. Nay. all these men are gentlemen Of wondrous heart, and kind. Compared to him who is so mean He always whips behind. God bless the man who's kind e.iough To just look straight ahead, And never growls because a kid Hooks on a little sled. May health be his, and length of years; And may lie fortune find 1 For nothing is too good for him Who never whips behind. | ?The Commoner.

In addition to the mad struggle for money there is another problem i that besets the habitues of the? financial district. It is the homely and prosaic operation of feeding . the inner man. ( Doubtless it takes away some of the splendid radiance that is sup- , posed to surround the "captains of industry and capital," but it is none j the less true that the wealthiest , banker in the street must have his "bam and" three times a day, even , as the humble messenger boy or the patient elevator man. , The only difference is that the j "ham and" of the "money baron" j becomes pate de foie gras or diamond back terrapin. However, thaf^ , great American staple beefsteak appears in a multitude of forms down where the "golden flood" is V\nir>rr foL-nn of lfc firlo PnrlmnS if 1 toavu aw & bw b?uw. a - one were to award a prize to the ] most popular luncheon item in the 1 entire Wall street district he would ] pin the classic blue ribbon on Mr. 1 B. Steak. i Beefsteak, however, is, as the i words of the famous poem says, I "Numerous as the leaves that strew ! the brooks of Yallombrosa." For instance, there is the beefsteak of < the messenger boy, and there is the < beefsteak of the "money king." Tis i indeed a far cry from one to t'other. ] Discussing beefsteak as it ap- 1 pears, 6ay in the neighborhood of i Broad street and Exchange place, i one finds sixty-seven different ] places within a radius of two blocks where the staple is served. In each cafe one may find, conservatively stated, one dozen varieties. The , grand total, therefore, is 804 differ- ( ent grades, 6tyles, manner or pre i vious condition of servitude in the ] beefsteak family. : The priee, too, may well be stated i in verse. It is Variable aa the shade 1 OJ IUC quivvi lilt IIICHIV. To be explicit, there is the steak carefully removed from the base of a venerable oxen's hams, which (the ox) has outlived its usefulness as a beast of burden and which is served to the appreciative messenger boy for "10 cents, one dime." There is also the cut that carries with it "French Iried and gravy," and which goes like hot cakes at 25 cents a throw. This is affected by stenographers and clerks. Then for chief clerks and others there is the old friend at 50 cents a portion and on up to $1. Finally there comes what might be termed the king of its kind, found only in the highest grade of cafe. Here the piece de resistance comes three inches thick and beautifully browned, decorated with mushrooms, sprinkled with watercress and parsley, surrounded by pickled walnuts, juicy, delicious and luscious, served on a plank alongside a bottle of wine and a check for $10. This, of course, does not include bread and butter. Yea, there is steak to be had at 10 cents just as there is steak to be had at $6, but, oh, what a difference! Yet all are appreciated.?

Wonderful skill is displayed in the manufacture of miniature timepieces that are used to ornament bracelets and other pieces of jewelry. The parts of these miniature watches are necessarily as perfect is those used in a much larger timepiece, but mach smaller. They must be examined under a powerful mirroscope.
