know one lady who makes point Of
wearing her new clothes over to New
Jersey, and then stretches tho truth
ever SO little by saying. mysteriously,
"They are from over the water" to her
admiring friends.
Some of the pretticst dresses OF the
season look so much like cloaks, and the
cloaks look so much like dresses, that it
is hard to tell them apart. Those which
are made for outdoor wear have under
vests of chamois skin, and these keep q
person very warm and comfortable.
Some ladies like to bundle themselves
up to the eyes in furs, but others again
like to have reputation of such robust
health and active circulation as makes
them independent of furry garments.
Such like a gown Of dark blue ladies'
cloth of tricot, trimmed with cashmere
colored passementerie in close pattern.
The skirt is made in box plaits, showing
narrow band Of the passementerie be-
tween them and a scarf like drapery,
which crosses the bust and falls to the
feet like fringed panels. With gown
like this young lady can step out at a
brisk walk that brings the blood to her
cheeks and the light to her eyes.
Another handsome though quite SIM
pie walking costume consists of beaver
cloth redingote braided in black, the
cloth being dark gray. Around the bot
tom is band of almost any kind Of fur,
and the same kind of fur trims waist and
sleeves, and there is pretty collar Of
the same. Across the foot of the skirt
of the gown is a deep band of the same
kind of fur.
The bonnet which Is shown with this
costume is small and of irregular shape,
and trimmed with red velvet berries and
gray velvet leaves.

hats and bonnets, among them Tam

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.-Noone should
ever build frame house without cover

paper as well as with weather boarding.
No one can afford to build home with
out such protection from the heat and
cold. There are other things which may
be omitted and pay for the cost OF
sheathing and paper. Parts of the
building may be omitted which may be
added to it in time. For instance, color

porch.

succession Of fences near together or lane.
II the scent leads down lane and across it,
the hounds are pretty certain to be thrown
into confusion. Several horses go down and
the luckless riders must be helped up by their
more fortunate acquaintance. Often the
spectators following in carriages do not know
the direction Of the course and turn into
lane or road that crosses the field Of the hunt.
The riders and the spectators then become
mixed up, to the discontinue Of the former.
The end Of a paper chase Is when one or
both of the hares reach the sanctuary, or
goal, where they are safe from the pursuers.
This is generally chosen In an open place, and
the close Of the chase can be seen from all
parts Of the country surrounding it. BY the
time the horses get within few hundred
yards Of it the most laggard Of the hounds
and the throngs OF carriages, the pony riders
and also the iveliest Of those on foot are in

can measure the time that it will take the
hares to reach 1t. Every one of the riders
puts his or her hunter to the best speed, and

Paper chasing may be attended with all
the diIomforts Of a mounted hunt, but may
also be made q very healthful as well as
pleasurable sport The exercise is less mo-
notonous than simple horseback riding, and
for those who engage in it has unbounded at.
fractions. For those who cannot ride, the
sport is equally healthful and pleasing. They
witness all of the incidents Of the start, the
finish, and are borne up all through by the
excitement that animates the riders them
selves.

Whn Lawrence Barrett predicted, Loss

Barretts trouble, which Is now, after several
months Of treatment, so serious o. to demand

Three years later he played Sir Thomas
Clifford In s.The Hunchback," at tho Cham

aud young man Barrett was hard student,
and it Is reported OF him that while he was
earning his way in business pursuits he was
devoted to the drama, and was studying and
practicing the actors art. This was not
always serious work, for he sometimes MIN
licked people around him to the amusement Of
his associates Being one day caught in tho
act Of "talSing of" his superior, the latter
told him that business was not his (Barrett's)
vocation; he ought to go upon the stage
Barrett took the advice, and found employ.
ment behind the footlights. 1t was now that
the ambitious boy was spurred 10 his best
work. A novice Is certain TO be snubbed, II
not ridiculed. and Barrett was endowed with
enough feeling and good sense to be stirred up
BY what was said to him in way OF advice or
criticism Like others who have achieved
distinction, he resolved to be heard some
day.
The kecnest sting Of criticism thnt Barrett
has to recall was that given him by local
IN Detroit paper when he essayed his first
real part In Julia Deans company. The no
tice hc received was entirely out Of proper
tiou TO the occasion, but Barrett took 1t TO
heart and proiltcd by it. Long afterward,
when he was honored by the attention of
great men, he breakfasted with Charles Dick
ems, Artemus Ward and others in London,
and the irrepressible humorist, after listen
ing to Barrett's sober account Of his "doing
up away back in the flfties, declared with q
roar that he had written the criticism, and
had made it savage simply because the VIC
tim was beginner, and 1t was always safe
to skin q fedgelipg.
Tho triumphs Of Barrett have been on the
lines Of his native genius rather than those
hit upon by accident. The drama is his pas
sion, and he has been painstaking worker.
His first association with Edwin Booth was
