atacEe OF silver TO the velvet at the throat
and corresponding ornaments at the wrists.
Every one of the minute particulars of lining,
binding and galOOnlng has that character OF
durability which makes these imported suits
of a bridal trousseau. With this costume
came an amber gauZe evening dress with what
are called embossed flowers in floss on the

ENGLISH WEATHER BOOTS
The English weather boot" is new style
OF 1901 wear, which consists of waterproof

tie strap on both sides, and within the strap

The sOleS OF this boot are quarter OF an inch
IN thickness, being of cork in the center and
of leather above and below the cork. The Eng

practice to walk with them. AT the top of the
weather boot is q loop and this, it appears, to

A similar boot, but OF India rubber, was inau-
gurated some years ago, and was a failure for
the reason that. being so long, it drew the feet
and made the knees ache, but the weather

lection, though as a hint to ladies who may
send for them, would say that the main
thing is to have the heel fit closely. If it does
not the fatigue in walking with the weather

RUSSIAN COSMETICS.
The Russian cosmetics. of which the display
at the Centennial exhibition required SO large
space, are, 1t appears, to some degree, com
ing into use, especially a peculiar kind of
cream resembling cold cream in substance
and in appearance. very thick yellowiSh shaw

beautify the complexion. 1t undoubtedly
helps the thick. turgid, dark skin, and gradn-
ally causes 1t TO assume an Opaque white.
But whatever may be the component parts of
this cream. il is certain that for delicate skins
it is unsuitable. 1t reddenS the fair skin.
There is doubtless something in the Russian
cosmetic too powerful for such compilations
The p0mGdeS of Russian manufacture are
good, but very highly perfumed. Altar of
Roses real Oriental altar is used to scent
them. But little is required to dress the hair
There is a great variety of face powder among
these preparations, but all are similar to Pa

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Editor StGr:-Seeing the school children
trudge through the binding snow storm last
Thursday morning suggested the idea to me
that the public school superintendent might
be empowered to use the fire alarm telegraph
to. call OFF school sessions on such days. As
things now are, some few children are sent
out by parents and guardians, while the ma
IOrity wisely remain at home. The bells might
strike the number three times at a. NJ, and
again al $50 a. H., if necessary, Or some other
number that would not Interfere with the
numbers, of the fire alarm or hours of the
clock. But little school time would be lost in
this climate, and the gain in the health of the
teachers and children would more than com
pensate for the loss of a few hours of teach.
