and there is your harlequin sceni-bottle.

who are in the same plight. and for the
reason that they pay more attention to
their double ruffies and fine shoes than
they do 10 their under garments. For
those who indulge luxurious fancies in
TINS direction, however, personal linen has
become much more costly than is gener-
ally supposed, and every article put on
underneath the dress is q matter of as
great impori anee as the gloves or bonnet.
The shapes OF dresses during recent years
have necessitated something like CORE
spondence in the fitting OF under garments.
while certain pref ldices concerning cli-
mate have introduced silk as material to
be worn next the person. Such garments
are becoming more in general use. and are
found In combinations and divided skirts.
The bifurcaied or divided skirt did not
attain the favor that was anticipated for 1t,
and many improvements have ben at

Gated skirt is for cycling, and then 1t is de-
sirable. The skirts or petticoats worn at
the present time are of three kinds--the
dress skirt, generally made of India silk or
surah; the street skirt. of silk mohair or
sateen, and the underskirt. Skirts included
IN wedding outfits are of the most elaborat
nature. made OF white silk and massed
with lace or embroidered founces in French

land that was thought to he worth a
round sum was i'll 1856 known. by an
uncle of the boy, to comprise large
and valuable tract of Ian within the
corporate limits of st. Paul. He talked
the matter over with the boy-who was
then of age-and the mother,an said he
would dispose of the property Ii they
would remunerate him with payment in
portion of the land. Mrs. Brown was
advancing in years, and several deals in
land were made which afforded means
to relieve the anxiety for the neceSsarles
of life. 1t finally dawned upon
the mind of young Brown that
he was almost, if not quite,
a millionaire. The alleged agreement
with the uncle was repudiated. An ac-
ton was finally commenced in the dis
trict court by the uncle, Alexander T.:
Brown, who claims about forty lots of
the land as his legitimate wages for
services in the management OF the val
