THE state convention Of county
clerks was held at Wichita this week.
On the subject Of assessment they
concluded that the only fair way 10
raise taxes was from an assessment
Of all property 1t actual each value.

more accurately reach . cash value

justice, while several hundred Diff

at quarter or third valuation,

Bags of elder down or thick han-
nels with shir about the neck are

gowns
The India silks OF Spanish coloring

effective. A seam down the middle of
the front OF the skirt form vandykes
of the stripes. Insertion of black
chantilly lace is set in the yellow
stripes, each row of insertion being
between two black stripes, The back
is three straight breadths. The edge
of the bodice is finished with black
velvet ribbon belt with long sash
ends. The bodice is pointed in the
front and back.
Ginghams are already being dis
played and bordered ginghams are
being made so wide that the width
will serve for the the length of the
skirt, which leaves the border as q
trimming about the foot of the skirt.
A handsome evening gown is made
of corn-colored satin with dark green
fish-net draped over it. About the
hem is shade ribbon in yaudyke pat

FURS And FURBELOWS.
They are Worn in Bed as
Well as on Dress
Parade.

The fondness for fur is steadily in
creasing and women are not now CON
tent to trim their street gowns with
sable and their ball gowns with err
mine, but throughout their houses
are seen handsome and costly rugs and
robes wherever they can be effectively
placed. In any house which pretends
to keep apace with fashion these fur
rugs are considered necessary furnish
ings, and they are certainly rich addi-
tions to any room. Particularly in a
broad hallway do they look appro-
pirate and give comfortable and in
viting appearance to a house. When
any amount may be expended for
these, the lion. with long tawny
hair and the head raised in a
life position is given the preference.
OF course but few can afford to pos
sess these. Fur rugs profnsely scat
tered through house always give an
air of luxury which is an irresistible
charm in any home The tiger is next
valued for these purposes, but like
the lion skin, is rarely seen. and the
bear is also greatly priced, especially
the white polar bear. With these
rugs generally come smaller ones
dressed in obIong shapes, which may
be arranged in various out-of-the-way
places in a room. leaving the centre
for the large and costly ones.
CHEAP AND HANDSOME RUGS.
But TO come down to what IS within
the reach of ordinary mortals. The
rugs made from the Iceland sheep are
extremely beautiful and the popular
ity of the white and black is equally
divided The white rugs are particu-
larry pretty, and the hair is long,
silky and fluffy. The skin of the axis
deer, tawny brown with white spots,
is also now fashionable. For those
who want a cheap yet handsome rug
the white. gray or black goat skin Is
both handsome and reasonable and
give a room a very tasteful appear
ance. Accompanying these are num-
erous smaller rugs. The red fox the
hair of which is fine warm yellow:
the gray lynx, the white fox and tiger
cat ali having the full heads, are being
much used now by people of moderate
means. Although a fine rug. or. in
fact, any good rug, may seem to be
very expensive they are in reality ex-
ceedingly economical and save the
purchase of new carpets long beyond
the time when new ones would other
wise be necessary, SO carefully do they
conceal the worn parts.
FUR ROBES FOR BEDS.
So great has the desire for the fur
nishing with rugs become that those
who can afford it now have robes of
costly fur on the bed. These are
thrown carelessly over the foot of the
bed during the day, and at night
serve as a covering. White and red
fox and seal, and once in while sable
are the furs used for this purpose.
Furriers are now making a great at
traction of them and are showing
them handsomely lined with expensive
cloth. Old rose, cherry, pistache and
blue are the favorite colors. was
shown a robe recently intended for a
bed robe, made entirely of ostrich
feathers in their natural color and
richly lined with silk. This must
necessarily be used very carefully. as
rough usage would soon destroy it.

DARLIBGS OF THE STAGE
How Elsie Leslie Learned
the Art Of Fenc-
ing.

While visiting the Broadway Thea
tire last night to see Elsie Leslie in
the Prince and Pauper,p was
struck with the proficiency shown by
the lovely little star in her fencing
scene with Seymour.
made inquiries and found very
romantic story connected with it.
1t seems that Elsie was in the
habit of going to Central Park every
morning for long walk in company
with her mother or sister. She romp-
ed about the walks and chased her
russian pug with all the ardor of her
ten sunny years, having left all thought
of theatrical affairs behind her. On a
certain bench beneath big tree, close
to the Mall, she frequently saw an old
gentleman reading the papers, who
never failed to bow kindly to her as
she ran past, and from ceremonious
bow their relations gradually grew
until a speaking acquaintance was
established. After this had been ac-
complished the old gentleman would
frequently relinquish his papers and
accompany the winsome child on a
walk. One day, having discovered
who she was, he asked her
il she would like to learn fene-
ing, and told her what a great
advantage such an accomplishment
was to professional woman.
The old gentleman turned out to be
the Baron BeItagne, a French noble
man, who had been forced to flee
from Normandy on account of fatal
wound he mad inflicted on an antag-
onist in duel. He came to America
and enlarged his small income by
teaching New Workers the mysteries
of carte and tinee, in which he was
an adept.
Two years ago small fortune was
left him by relative and he dismissed
his pupils, now being allowed the
simple Injuries of life that were pre-
viously denied him,
The Baron called on Mrs. Lydeis,
Elsie's mother, and offered his services
in teaching her to fence on CON
dition that he should not be asked to
accept any remuneration, and after
some hesitation Mrs. Lyde accepted.
Twice every week after that Elsie
visited her new friends apartments
with her mother. A fencing dress of
black silk was provided for her and
with her instructors teaching soon
mastered the rudiments of the art.
Her antagonist in the Prince and
Pauper, Mr. A. f. Buchanan, is him
self good fencer, but is no match for
the graceful little girl who success
fully opposes him every night.
| had wondered where she obtained
the matchless grace that characterizes
her every movement, but this little
incident goes far towards explaining it.
