Rosina Vokes wears on rainy days dress
consisting Of something very like Mrs. Miller's
''leglettes." covered by three or four kits Of
different lengths.
Mrs. Potter in wet weather wears only an
ordinary dress, with strong shoes, silk petit
coat, one of her famous Mother Hubbard
cloakS and a Tam O'Shanter cap.
Jennie June says rainy day dress should
be made whole, of dark, light weight resist
ance cloth, free from everything superAuous,
and should be covered by macintosh
Fanny Davenport is tremendous walker,
rain or shine. She wears on rainy days a
short blue silk skirt, linen petticoat lined
with flannel in winter, and high opera top
kid boots.
Mrs. Langtry on rainy days dresses very
thinly, trusting to wraps for warmth, high
boots with thick soles, silk stockings, baptiste
underwear, silk petticoat, and a gown with at
least silk skirt
Mrs. Heaton throws conventionality to the
winds when it rains, wearing a childish,
loose gown, "girly" looking hat and cloak
and heavy shoes. Her skirt reaches to within
about eight inches Of the ground.

ventures OF those who escaped from otner
points In Florida, but were suspected Of being
from jacksonville. Col D. q Elliott, rail
road land agent, was engaged for three weeks
in desprase struggle With red tape quar-
antine to get his wife and boy from Pablo
Beach to tho first free station outside Of the
state. In vain did he prove that be was not
from Jacksonville; the fact that he was from
Florida was enough. After exhausting other
plans he got his family on the steamer II. B.
Plant, which runs on the St Johns, and
cruised up that river tsouthwar6 to find q
depot of departure. At Palatka there were
threats Of firing on the steamer If a landing
was attempted, and the family remained on
it, with some other passengers, for eight days
In quarantine The health Of all on board
improved on the river, and % they finally got
out of the state by one of the roads which
avoids Jacksonville, but for long distances
northward the people fed from the train as
il it carried the signals of sudden death.
1t would Fill many columns like this to
briefly describe the various epidemics OF yel-
low fever in the Gulf states, but one fact
stands out In curious prominence-that the
dread disease never once became epidemic
during the civil war though, according to the
accepted opinions, all the conditions were
favorable to it. Gen. Ormsby II. Mitchell
died of it, and there were few other cases
at Beaufort, 8 c.; but the disease did not
spread, and two years after the war passed
before there was a serious epidemic. Then
the fever struck some places with unwonted
fury, especially in Texas There, In 1857, the
work Of political reconstruction was COM
pletely suspended for some time by the fear
EoIa nvol ~,
charge Of the state department died OF the
disease.
In the Texas epidemic Of 1867 some IN
usual features were noted The fever would
travel regularly along street from house to
house for some distance, then suddenly stop
and, as il it had risen in the dir for long
fight, would fall upon some distant dwelling
or town and work fearful havoc. At length,
as often happens toward the close, the disease
reached furious and destructive climax;
every member of family would be stricken
at once, and almost every one stricken would
die. In some instances every person In a
house died, and more than one vessel in the
ports, abandoned by ali who could get away,
swung at anchor for days with none but
corpses on board, a thing of terror to all
who looked on it and exhaling the very odor
of death.
In conclusion two facts must be noted:
But little more is certainly known of the
cause, cure and prevention Of the epidemic
than was known century ago, yet the
disease is mach less terrible than then There
have been no such epidemics in this genera
ton rs those which devastated Philadelphia
in 1913 and New York some years later. The
Caucasian race is probably getting accli.
mated The native Indians of low land
Mexico knew nothing Of this fever, yet now
there are many seasons when European
fingers in Vera Cruz through the summer
only at the daily risk of death.
