EAGLE HARBoR, Feb. 20.-In spite of the
snow storm the reconstructed steamer
Virginia was launched from SANDSTONE
yard Tuesday at high water, and after the
launch she was taken In tow by the
steamer Alta. Both steamers were prop
erly dressed with bunting. and made a
very pretty showing as they passed out Of
the harbor on their way TO Seattle.
The Alta goes away this week to COM
mence running between La Conner and
Anacortes.
Last Friday the little launch Eagle, be-
longing TO Mr.. Frank Green, left here to
go to Seattle, as she often does when any,
thing is wanted. This time Mr.. Green 8

along a fuse plug blew out, or piston
head blew of, and the escaping steam
frightened the crew badly, but the hull
was not seriously damaged, and it tioated
at the mercy of the wind and seas for over
four hours. till finally it was picked up
and towed in by the steamer Toto, Captain
Williams. The young lady said that after
the launch became disabled and the fire
had gone out, she never suffered so much
with cold in her life before. The sweeps
could not be used to any advantage, SO all
that remained was TO keep distress signals
flying and wait to be picked up.

is a siren of the wickedest sort and witch
of darkest ages when she sets out to be.
She can make love more desperately and
hold her own more fascinatingly than any
one on earth. And yet she can play light
comedy or do the dreadful stabbing act to
the queens, or more properly speaking, to
the presidents own taste.
She is plumper than she was, and there
is consequently less sharpness in her face
and more color in her skin. She appears
less like a piece of animated mechanism
and more like real flesh and blood. But,
oh she shames Davenport's La Tosca and
puts it entirely to the blush. She is sub

bachelor limbs. A table stands near with

pondence. lit is universally acknowl-
edged that the stage sets the fashions for
the society world. No less person than
the celebrated New York Connolly and
her chief, Worth Of Paris, announced that
their ideas Of style are taken from the last
successful play, and that the fashions por-
trayed upon the stage are bound to become
the leaders Of the day.
Only few years ago, tawdry finery,
paste, cheap silks and cotton backed satins
were considered good enough to produce a
stage effect. Now, the very best of every
thing must be procured at whatever may
be the cost, and each detail must be as
carefully considered as if the wearer were
to be inspected at arms length, instead of
across the footlights. The result of this
has been beneficial, since it has led to a
standard in fashions, by which styles and
materials may be judged, and after which
they may be safely copied.

yellow silk en- train, embroidered in black
and white. The neck is cut square and
bordered with a ruffle of black tulle.
There are blackItulle sleeves.
Another gown that is generally admired
is made of two shades of lavender. There
is plain demi-trained skirt of the lighter
shades with a big ruching of the same
around the bottom. A Louis XIV coat of
darker lavender opens over white lace
vest with rich ruff1ing of the lace laid on
to appear very full. The material of the
coat is velvet. The hat is toque-shaped,
lavender in tint and trimmed with pansies
and yellow ribbon.

dress of two hues Of green, with Louis XIV
coat over pink vest, little toque of pink

A stage evening dress which makes such
picture as to find many imitators, is Of
blue gauze striped with gold in the mar
rowest most bewitching little pin stripes
imaginable. A flounce of the gauze
around the bottom of the skirt is caught
up in festoons. The coat is of pink bro
cade with a vest of old rose crepe. The
sleeves are wrist long, after the fashion set
by Lillian Russell, and ruffies fall over the
hands to the knuckles.
Two other gowns of Miss Rehan's are
the admiration of all beholders. One is of
white chiffon simply trimmed with rows
of white satin ribbon, unrelieyed by a
touch of color save when natural flowers
are worn. The other is house dress
modelled after a japanese pattern. The
material is red silk. The flowing over
dress is lavender. A broad rolling collar
is of lavender, as are deep cuffs.
