"Pve got the dead wood on you," is an
expression signifying that the evidences
of unfair dealing are producible for the
justification of the defendant. 1t origin
ated in this way; A mans wife died and
a first-class coffin was ordered. The
coffin, supposed to be of rosewood, was
lowered clumsily into the grave and one
corner of it was knocked off. The
gentleman took the piece of wood home
and found it was pine. The bill was
presented and a rosewood coffin was one
ofthe items. The undertaken was forced
to sue for the amount and when brought
to court the defendant produced his chiI

A Remarkable Costume.

1 see that in France some ingenious per-
sons have devised more simple mode of
appearing as two characters. This is man
aged by dressing the two sides of the body
in two different costumes. For instance,
One-half of a fancy ball costume is LA
Cigale." and the other half is LA Foumi. -
On the ',Cigale" side the skirt is silk,
trimmed with gathered fiounce, pinked
out round the edge. The black velvet bod
ice, or rather half bodice. is almost hidden
by half-fichu of brightly-tinted silk or
cashmere, which forms panier and drap-
cry at the back. A black lace mantilla is
arranged on the right side of the head. on
which the hair is crimped. The mantilla is
fastened by a high comb. placed on one side
and made 10 stand at giraffe-like elevation
by bunch of flowers covering its teeth
Now we come 10 the Fourmi side of this
very original dress. The dress is of blue
and white striped skirring. and an apron of
biscuit-oolored linen is joined straight down

by sash of bright-cOlored satin and an I'M
derslip of the same color, either of silesia or
thin silk. Silk stockings to match the sash
and little French slippers are also worn.
Little Acadian clOaks and caps with their
quaint Eyangeline look are among the
many pretty outdoor wraps made for little
people this winter. These coats are both
warm and comfortable and give slender
form the appearance of roundness. They
are made with short little plain waists and
rather full skirts gathered TO them. and are
trimmed with fur. swansdown or some sim
liar material put in plain band about the
edge, sometimes forming belt. The caps
are made out of two pieces. fitting the head
closely. and are bOrdered with fur and tied
with ribbons. The clOaks reach down to
the shoe tops and give the old-fashiOned
look now so desirable.

Winter Pictures of the Darlings
Taken i'm Madison Square Park.

To see the latest thing in juvenile fashions
one should walk through Madison Square
park any fine afternoon. Here the little
aristocrats from the fashionable quarter of
the city disport themselves i'm the most
democratic manner, wholly unconscious of
their fine clothes or of the general admira-
ton they attract from passers-by. To them
the latest foreign touch to their brief gar
ments is as thing of naught and they are
as free from the vanities of life as the spar
rows that hutter around them in their play
and seem to take the keeneSt interest in
their sports. Not so their French nurses.
however, whose high and mighty manner
throned queen might envy. The young
lady from Ireland has been quite suppIanted
Ia her vocation of nurse by her French
neighbor, greatly 10 the discomforture ct
the park policeman, who has much diff
ficulty in making himself thoroughly under
stood and appreciated by ''thim quare
crathureS, but much to the pride and salts
faction of the fashionable mamma. who
considers this French acquisition to her
establishment the ne plus ultra OF style.
There is fashion in nurse maids as well
as in baby carriages or christening robes, or
any other infantile accessory. Just now il
is the saucy, black-eyed French bonnie.
In the way of dress, however, that is
neither French nor English nor German nor
any other one thing. but it is as though the
mantle OF every nationality had fallen upon
