An Around the World Outfit.

1t would seem that DR.. Alice Stock
ham, of Chicago, had reduced the
amount of clothes with which woman
can travel to minimum. DR.. Stock
ham sailed from New York few days
ago for six months trip around the
world. She carried small square hand
bag containing her entire outfit except
what she wore. The sum of these latter
garments was this: One union suit of
light wool; adivided skirt of blue serge,
lined; blackcloth gown made in one
piece; a long serge travelling coat; a
black bonnet and gloves; heavy soft kid
boots, and black wool stockings.
In her bag she carried second union
suit like the one she wore, and one a
little heavier; pair of equestrian tights;
second pair of stockings; black silk
princess gown, and bedroom wrapper,
also of silk; one cotton nightgown; two
neck handkerchiefs of black silk and two
of white, to fold inside the necks of her
gowns, which she wore low; half a
dozen pocket handkerchiefs, and black
scarf for headgear in crossing. That
was all-not a bandbox, not a petticoat,
not even q frill. what under the
armament are women coming tor" says
some man under his breath. ''Solid COM
fort, good sir, and less nonsense about
it."-New York Sun.

Persian Lamb in Favor.

Persian lamb is increasing continually
in favor and grace, especially for cloaks.
A few years ago the dealers had hard
work to convince customers of it's beauty
and elegance; now the demand is daily
increasing. Some woman of place and
taste bought dress on the other side,
with bit of the curly black fur for
decoration. Some other woman of equal
discernment and wisdom, but who
couldn't buy gowns on the other side,
copied the decoration and the spark was
kindled.
The tickle, capricious public fancy was
won and now no fur is more popular for
demiseason wear and for. decorative pur-
poses than this. Russian sable is re-
moved by its great cost and elegance
alone from outranking seal in favor. 1t
is the decoration par excellence for seal
garments, for Innings and collars, for
mantles and capes, to all who can afford
it. A new "manteau de voyage" is of
mouse gray cloth, cut so as to fit close to
the waist behind. A large point of gray
velvet is inserted to form the back, and
The collar and bottom of the cloak are
trimmed with gray fur.-Chicago News.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-30
Some Simple Dress STYLES.

One often has breadths of black cloth
or silk put away; these may be used this
winter to advantage, either made into a
skirt to be worn with a bright colored
coat, or just the opposite, made into a
coat to be worn with another skirt. The
jacket shapes for basques is still most
prevalent, those for street suits being in
cutaway or smoking jacket style; those
for indoors in Louis XIV and XVI.
There is more and more of tendency to
do away entirely with the foundation
skirt, many of the winter woolens hav-
ing been lined throughout instead.
When light fabrics are mounted on a
foundation they are not tackled at all to
it, so the outside can be lifted, leaving
the foundation, which is shorter, and
finished nicely with knife plating or
crossway band. The polonaise grows in
favor for day suits, while the princess,
or some modification of the princess, is
much worn for evening by all ages, ex-
cept the young girl, who looks best in a
half low necked pointed corsage. The
popular full skirt has five breadths at
the foot sloped to three at the top

Skunk skins to the Front.

Skunk skins will be fashionable while
seal skins are as hard to get as they are
now. Since the British and United
States governments put bar on the seal
fisheries, the supply of seal skins has
greatly fallen off. Prices have risen,
and strange to say the demand has in
creased. The prospects of hard winter
will make furs very desirable, and deal
ers will have to find worthy substitute
for sealskin. Skunk skins, to be known
as Russian sables, win partly fill the bill.
Real sables are as hard to get as seal
skins, and skunk skins are plentiful. If
they are well dressed they are as stylish
as any furs that can be worn, and they
are great deal cheaper. There are half
dozen big skunk farms in this state
alone, and score or more elsewhere.
There will be no stringency in the sup
ply of them, and they will be fashionable.
Skunk skins are already being sold in
Paris as Russian sables.-Globe-D Demo-

A woman's stenographio Feat.

One of the most interesting things con-
nected with the trial Of the murderer,
,Almy, at Plymouth, N. H., was the nota-
bile feat of shorthand reporting per-
formed by Mrs. w. B. Harte. About 6
o'clock on Tuesday request was sent to
the Office in Boston by Frank H. Stanyon
and William E. Robinson, who were COW
ering the trial, for an extra shorthand
reporter. There was not man to be
found at the time, and there was only an
hour in which to catch the last train up.
Mrs. Harte happened to be in the office,
however, and when the matter was sug-
gested to her she at once volunteered to
30.
Within the hour she was prepared for
the journey and aboard the train, and
about midnight reached Plymouth. After
getting few hours sleep at hotel, she
went to the courtroom bright and early
and took notes steadily until o'clock in
the afternoon, when she started on two
miles journey to Concord. the telegraphic

headquarters. Here she wrote out and
fled $4,000 words, finishing about
o'clock in the morning. Securing just
two hours sleep, she went back to Plym-
outh in time to go into court again at
o'clock, left at o'clock that afternoon
from Boston. and got out 10000 words
that evening.

country ever equaled this remarkable

proud of her achievement, and the wom-

A Daring Deputy Marshal.

Just now no little attention is bong
paid Mrs. Fannie Miller, deputy Unit
ed States marshal, of Muskogee, l. T.
She was born twenty years ago near ST.
Joseph, Mo-, Of respectable parents
named johnson. When four years old
she moved to Sherman, Tex, and at
the age Of eighteen, in company with an
experienced officer, went to Mexico to
aid in ferreting out the perpetrators of a
series of crimes along the border. After
two years of adventure she married and
moved to Talahana, l. T.
This little woman is nervy and has re-
markable powers of endurance. She
rides with Deputy B. @. Cantrell, a
cousin, having accompanied him on
many expeditions of danger and fatigue
She and her cousin trailed Pagan and
Ed Kinsley, noted cattle thieves, five
days in the mountains of the Cherokee
Nation. Mrs. Miller was riding alone
when, to her surprise, she came face to
face with Pagan, whom she placed under
arrest before he could realize that she
was an officer and in earnest. Kinsley's
hiding place was soon found, and in
securing his arrest several shots were
exchanged. Mrs. Miller also arrested
the Warren brothers, noted whiskey
peddlers.
Mrs Miller's mother died when she
was eight years old, and her father was
buried q few years later. She is 8
feet inches tall, weighs 1876 pounds,
has very intelligent gray eyes, dark hair,
a firm expression, is quick of movement
and quiet and unassuming in manner.
This remarkable woman seems delight
ed with her perilous work, and being
well educated is anything but bold and
brazen. Deputy Cantrell has been on
the marshals force for eight years. He
says Fannie Miller's services are almost
indispensable. Cor. Chicago Herald.
