Travelling Dresses

Wool dresses for journeys in early
spring are being made OF light tan, or
gray tweeds, or Cheviots of solid color,
or striped, and of the dark blue serges
that are always popular, They have
a fitted coat and plain skirt. Such a
gown is complete for the street with
out wrap, but flowing cape of the
material of the dress should be added
in case further warmth is required.
1t is also well to add shirt waists of
wash silk or OF gingham to wear i'll
stead OF the coat on warm days; one
OF these, with the skirt and cape, make
a pretty suit, and are pleasing va
riety. An English turban or toque of
chip the color of the gown should be
trimmed with dark velvet folds close
on the sides and high at the back; Or
else a black hat is worn The veil
is OF sheer grenadine, and the gloves,
Of heavy kid lightly stitched, are
lighter in shade that the gown. New
ulsters are described below.

The Woman Who PleaSeS

"She knows just how to talk to all
kinds and conditions ofmen," was the
recommendation given for bright
woman who makes her living as much
by her ability to please us as by her
actual labors, says the New York
World. Seeing that woman after
wards, and observing her closely, one
could not but be impressed with the
truth of what had been said. She
was gay with the gay, silent when any
one else wanted to talk, talkative with
the shy, always good tempered, never
too animated, and never, never visibly
in pain nor in tears. She was always
charming bright, sympathetic and
sweet. She was witty, too, but not
terribly so. She kept her wit to %u-
mine conversation and to tighten dull
spirits; not to burn hearts, nor scorch
sensitive feeling. Every body went
from her presence feeling comfortable
in spirit and with reasonably satisfied
hearts. She was peacemaker and a
courage-strengthener. There are two
or th,ee dozen of such women in tle

Spring Wraps.

Capes and coats promise to be
equally popular as spring wraps. 1t
is merely q matter of choice betweeE
loose flowing garment and one close
ly fitted. The materials used arc
Meltons of light weight, diagonals, and
ribbed cloths, in very light shades OF
mastic gray, tan, and reseda. White
and brilliant red cloths are seen in
youthful wraps. Black is chosen
alike for very elaborate garments and
for those that are simple, inexpensive
and useful. Figured cloths, with way
ed lines, bows, blocks, and spots, are
combined with plain fabrics in some
dressy French mantles.
The new capes are cut very full, and
are even all round. Their average
length of twenty-five inches permits
them to fall low on the hips. One
simple and graceful shape is made OF
a single piece of cloth perfectly round,
with a space for the neck taken out
IN the centre, and slit from the CEN
tire to the edge made for the opening
in front. This is very pretty when
made of light gray or tan Melton, with
the edges cut smoothly and left raw,
and q turn, over collar of darker vel
vet. The lining is a brocade OF gay
bright colors, and does not quite
reach the edge ofthe cloth A circular
cape of reseda green cloth made in
this way has also a thick pinked frill
OF the cloth falling below the velvet
collar and is fastened by two straps
across the chest.
More elaborate capes OF lght faced
cloth retain the flaring collar and
pointed yoke of black ostrich feathers
worn during the winter, and are en-
broidered with jet, gold, and colored
stones. These capes differ from the
last in being rounded high on the
shoulders, with fulness falling thence
TO the end in thick pleats beside the
fitted back forms, which are studded
with nail-heads, and held close to the
figure by a ribbon belt inside. The
more scant fronts pass under the
sides, which may be plain or pleated,
and the arms are slipped between.
Such capes are made OF the pale Par
ma-violet shades now worn; also of
gray, tan, or reseda, as well as black
cloth.
Driving capes that will also be worn
at the seaside and mountains during
the summer are made of red English
serge, rough-surfaced yet plant, aud
woven in wide diagonals. They are
lined throughout with black twilled
silk or satin surah, and are trimmed
with black. They have fitted forms
in front and back, held in place by an
inside belt. The shoulders are slight
ly putfed, and deeply folded pleats tall
over the front. The small slightly
faring collar is covered with black
passementerie and lined with black
velvet. White serge capes are similar
ly made and trimmed with gold gal
loon brocaded with silver leaves.
White ostrich tips form the COLLAR
Harpers Bazaar.

The Kind Word,

Do we ever need a reminder, in our
nurried lives, OF the grace that lies in
the kindly spoken word? 1t may be
as we pass friend in q crowded shop,
Or nod to her as we hasten by her
door on our morning walk to the emar-
ket or the ferry, that we utter the
gentle greeting, leave behind us the
fash OF the happy smile, and brighten
a day that was perhaps overcast.
Kindness costs little. Why should we
not be lavish of it in a world where
nobody stands alone, but where rich
and poor, sad and glad, lofty and low
ly, and are bound in one bundle

Crooks Councils of War.

Then it was that his subordinates
began to notice one OF Crooks pecu-
liarities which he retained through
life. Heheld his first council of war. !"
Crooks councils of war differed from
those of any other general, living or
dead. He never asked any one for
an opinion, never gave one OF his own
but taking his rifle in hand, strolled a
short distance away from camp, sat
down under rock, crossed one knee
over the other, clasped his arms
about his shins, and occasionally rub
bed the tip of his nose with the back
of his right hand. This last was the
infallible sign by which the troops
afterWard learned to know that one
of Crook; councils of war was in pro-
gress. He communed with himself,
canvassed all the pros and cons OF
his predicament.-Cen

Shopping or Knitting Bag.

A shopping Or knitting bag is some
thing the use OF which Will soon prove
it's value. Seven-eighths OF a yard OF
plain tinted satin, twenty inches wide,
will be needed for the foundation of
the bag. The center square is Of stiff
canvas Or buckram, covered with plush
or silk, with embroidered bands. or an
arobesque done in outline. This is
stitched to the center of the satin
foundation. The bag is lined with
thin silk, or it may be left without
lining and Joined at the sides with a
drawn cord effect The hems are
deeply turned at the top, and casing
for double ribbons put in to draw
the whole together. For q shopping
bag, the colors should be dark-brown
or gray embroidered with yellow silk
and gold thread. An open cavas for
the square to be worked with cross
stitch, can be bought at the art stores,
and also small leather handles, or
straps, which are fastened to the
canvas. The bag should be made a
good size, or it loses its purpose, as
the receptacle for the manylittle pack
ages that accumulate in q shopping
tour, to small to be sent, but with
a provoking habit OF slipping away
without notice. In q work-bag the
colors can be brighter. Gold satin,
with a center piece of the oblong Turk
ish pieces, richly embroidered on
Turkish canvas or blue, with the Ori-
entail squares in blue and pink are
beautiful combinations.-Ladies Home

Care Of the Hands,

There are not nearly as many secrets
in hand treatment as people imagine.
A little ammonia or borax in the water
you wash with and that water Just
lukewarm will keep the skin clear and
soft. A little oat meal mixed with the
water will Whiten the hands Many peo-
pie use glycerine on their hands when
they go to bed, wearing gloves to keep
their bedding clean, but glycerine
does not agree with every one. It
makes some skins harsh and red.
These people should rub their hands
with dry oat meal and wear gloves in
bed. The best preparation for the
hands at night is white of an egg with
a grain of alum dissolved I'M it, Quacks
have q fancy name for it, but all can
make it. They also make the Roman
toilet paste. 1t is merely the white of
an egg, barley flour and honey. They
say it was used by the Romans in
olden times. At any rate, it is first
rate thing; but it is sticky, and does
not do the work any better than oat
meal. The toughest and hardest
hands can be made soft and white in
the space OF a month by doctoring
them a little at bed time; and all tools
you need are nail brush, a bottle
of amonia, box OF powdered borax
and little fine white sand to rub
the stains off, or a cut of lemon, which
will do even better, for the acid of the
lemon will clean anything.

members to calmly consider this i'm
portant measure and thanked them
for their attention and courtesy in lis
tening to him.
II. @. Turner followed, and in very
able and shrewdly put together speech
gave his reasons for supporting the
bill, which were In effect the reasons
published by an afternoon paper yes
terday over his signature.
After the meeting, in response to an
invitation from the Young Mems
Democratic Club, the Democratic
members went into the Senate cham
ber and had Gconfab. Then the Sus-
sex county politicians who were here
were admitted to the Senate chamber
and had a hearing on the Sussex hum
dred dividing schemes.
After bOtKtheSe measures had been
ventilated the Commissioner bill was
again taken up with locked doors and
Mr.. Turner explained further until
1926 o'clock this morning.
Briefly 1t may be stated that vote
may be forced in the House to-day,
but 1t is doubtful. There are yet men
on the Democratic side who will not
sapport the bill unless radical changes
are made.
In the Legislature yesterday tho
most important bill read was the bill
changing the Insurance law 50 as to
give the Insurance Commissioner full
control of licenses and radically low
erlng the license fee.
II Is now certain that joint resolu-
tion will be adopted, probably to-day
