 The dancing season will revive again after Lent, and many of the novelties are for such occasions, and itrequlres a mind closed to artistic beauty that can pass those lovely dresses without mention. They are arranged so that the brocaded silk forms a court train and the front is a confused mass of tulle or silk net, CT silk muslin, and at the side the masses of goods are gathered together with great punches of water lilies with transpa-e green trailing grasses an inch wide. The pink and silver brocades and pink or green tulle go together; pale electric and | moonlight blue and silver also have their heavy punches of pond lilies; the delicate silvery greens also are made in the same way, and these graceful punches of trail ing lilies form appropriate garniture. Pure white and cream white tulle, and l white and silver brocade, are often trimmed with great masses of blush roses and vines, or even jack roses, cloth 1 of gold, or tea roses. Other flowers are occasionally seen, but all are massed in large loose punches, and large flat bouquet is frequently placed on the left shoulder. Some of the tulle dresses have punches of three ostrich tips placed here and there. Fans for these costumes are of gauge stretched over mother of pear sticks, or real lace, or ostrich plumes. One peculiar ball dress is made III with Q striped front, with pink anc silver stripes, the pink ones being moire Around the bottom are sewn two bands of black velvet ribbon. Across the iron and down the sides is a puffed draper, of white tulle. The corsage is of pinl moire draped with tulle. The train Ii formed of two breadths of moire, owe which is lacked a white lace shawl

 on each side with close punches of pink rose buds. Larger punches are at the sides. A full boa of black lace is worn about the throat. This costume affords a very pretty means of utilizing lace shawl, whether black or white.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The past week has been hard for the searcher for new things, for every house has it's speciality in style of patterns, goods or customers, so that it would never do to miss one solitary opening" and opening in New York language means s jam, Q crush, a squeeze. and a scrouge all boiled down and condensed into absolute suffering.

 WASHINGTON, Feb S.-Yesterday's cabinet meeting remained in session until o'clock discussing Samoan affairs and Gernany's proposition for renewal conference thereon. At its conclusion it was learned that the pres ident had notified Harold M. Sewall, consul to the Samoan Islands, that his resignation would be acceptabl on the ground that his views were not in harmony with those of the administration.
 Secretary Bayard declined to say anything on the subject, or give his reasons for the step It is the opinioa that the action was due to dissatisfaction on account of SewalFs utteranccs during and since his examination before the congressional committee.
 Mir Sewall was seen at the Arlington hotel and acknowledged having received the re- quest for his resignation, and that it would be sent to Secretary Bayard. He was averse to criticising tlie socretary's action, but at the same time he said he considered he had been sacrificed to appease Bayarls wrath He did not regret giving his testimony before inc senate committee because it the tr,th H.. also said be did not believe his

When Persian lady is i'll and requires the
attentions Of a physician, she must be con-
cealed by screen, and he makes his inquiries
without seeing her. She may be permitted
to nut out her hand and wrist In order that
her pulse may be felt, but only when actually
necessary. Among the lower classes in the
villages a little more freedom is permitted in
consulting doctor, for they live a more
communal life, and the physicians in the
rural districts are itinerants, who on arriv-
ing at a village open an office under a broad
plane tree by the side If murmuring brook.
OF course yelled, the women flock around
him, and he prescribes heroic doses, some
times adding a charm to be worn over the
suffering member, consisting of an extract
from the koran inside Of an amulet. After
dosing the village and carefully collecting
every fee on the spot, the rustic Esculapius
prudently decamps TO the next village. If
the patient RECEIVERS, praise is given to God
as well as to the doctor; IL he or she dies, the
result is laid to kismet, or fate, but at the
same time it is well that the doctor should
not be on hand, for human wrath Is liable to
overcome faith in the DEGREES Of destiny
