with blue feathers and brown velvet, was
to be worn with it.
Another very elegant, but exceeding
ly simple gown was made for friend of
the bride, Of beige cloth, fOurreau shape,
with deep box plsits in the back, instead
OF the fat plaitS so often seen now.
Around the bottom were four rows OF
close feather trimming in graduated
widths. The coat basque was bordered
with the narroWeSt width. A tiny bon
net Of emerald green velvet, Persian
braid and beige plumes was worn with IL.
These two costumes can be copied
with the certainty that they are the
latest styles, and they can be made of
any material that is suitable for the
season.
Another exceedingly pretty dress that
can be easily reproduced is in the origi-
nal made Of the new pink crepon. A
cut showing how il is made in the back
is appended 70 the Illustration. at the
right side there is s panel with loops OF
soutache braid, and this extends 10 the
armpitS on each side, leaving a very
graceful drapery to the short basque.
The skirt is prettily drapped, part Of the
folds coming under the panel and the
rest reaching around TO the middle OF
the back, where the fold falls in with
those laid back Of the plait The bot
tom has a border Of black velvet, head
ed with an overlap Of narrow braid.
The manner in which the skirt is made
forms a pleasing change from the severe
outlines so often seen now.
Many, and in fact most, dressmakers
now put large hooks on the belts Of the
waists and baSQueS, which hook into
eyes on the belts Of the skirts, and this
sustains the weight and also keeps the
skirt from sagging.
/ think that furs OF every description
will be more largely used as trimming
than ever before. If such thing is pos
sible. Every kind is fashionable. Trim
ming made on fat bands Of ostrich and
peacock plumes blended, will be very
much used on evening dresses. Bands

don't think I can remember to have
ever seen such pretty cOlors worn at the
same season of the year, and they are
not given altogether to the young, for
quite elderly women may be seen In
combinations of color which are Tea
lures Of this season.
There is a deep, rich, dark red called
dahlia, and this, with gray, is made into
a costume for a portly and handsome
matron, and it is a handsome gown.
Beige with green is another pleasing
combination. The skirt OF beige, with
narrow green ruflles at the bottom. The
Henri Something basque has the upper
sleeve of beige, and the reyers and
pocket lids. All the rest is green, and
the hat is made 70 match.
HeliOtrOpe velvet, Louis Nv coats,
with brown camel's hair or cloth skirts,
both trimmed with narrow gold braid,
make another striking but beautiful
combination. Dark blue and Russian
green are made up together, and black
and yellow are seen everywhere. Black
and yellow are superb when properly
used together.
Young girls wear costumes in one
color most often, and they Of beige, tan,
pale gendarme or faience blue or
crushed raspberry or a soft pink, which
has a sort Of creamy OverblOOm. Crepon,
cloth, cashmere, serge and Henrietta
sre all suitable for these, and they come
IN all these colors. Pearl and French
gray are also much seen, sometimes
trimmed with colors, passementerie or
velvet. The set pieces Of metal passe-
menterie are particularly pretty.
One very pretty dress made for a
bride Of last week was Of faience
blue crepon, with three narrow RUIZ
fles at the 70ttom o. the otherwise
plain skirt, headed by a band OF
gold passementerie. The coat basque
had a semi-military cape at the top,
richly braided in the same man ner.

it was on the eve of the drawing-room
that somehow the awful discovery was
made that fifty years before their father
had been in the counting-room of IA
nous banker in Berlin. Crossing to
America shortly afterward, he had piled
up an enormous fortune and earned for
himself a name well recognized all
through the U nited States. He was a
naturalized citizen of New York, having
broken every bond that held him to the
land of his birth. But that did not alter
the case in the least. He had once been
actually engaged in business in Ger
many, and nothing more was to be said.
The two brilliant, beautiful daugh-
tiers, heiresses to fortune before which
the contents of the royal treasury
dwindled into a mere pittance, were as
hopelessly excluded from court as if
they had been miserable little rag
pickers in the streets of Dresden. 1t
seems strange that bankers, who in
America are considered the aristocrats
of business, should be refused posi-
ton in society by the older civilization.
But so it is. ia haute finance" as the
circle of financiers is called, can never
be received at the Saxon court. They
have their own magnificent palaces,
where they entertain and are enter
tanned by aristocrats who have the en-
tree at court. Yet beyond that they
may not aspire.-Chicago News.

Beauty and Comfort Go For Much, but
These Things are Straitjackets.
The capes, fur and imitation, which
are so fashionable with women nova
days, are doubtless very comfortable on
moderately cold days, but, at least from
man-point of view, they are beyond
description burdensome and inconven-
lent. A woman who has put herself
into one, has practically no use of her
arms above the elbows. There are I'M
yielding straps around the biceps, which
allow that part of the arm very little
play. To be sure, few women, after
they leave home, have much use for
their arms above the elbows.
While shopping the clerks take the
goods from the shelves and place them
upon the counters. In all the shops,
however, there are many attractive
articles hung on wires level with the
eyes of the purchasers. Many amusing
sights are to be seen, when women for
get the limitations imposed by their
capes, and attempt to reach up to try
the quality of goods which attract their
notice.
The other afternoon richly dressed
young woman was placed, through the
eccentricities of her cape, in predica-
ment which brought depth of red to
her checks. She attempted to mail a
letter in one of those new-fashioned
letter-boxes which open at the top. The
girl stood on her toes, got the slide open
and placed the letter partly within.
no hut f1a 81
the letter by corner, and refused to
drop it inside. She made every effort
to push it in or to open the slide again.
but the tightness of her cape prevented
her raising her arm sufficiently. She
jumped from her feet several times, and
tried to poke the letter down on the
fly, but it would not go. A crowd of
small boys gathered and looked at her
sympathetically, but they were not tall
enough to help her. Several women
stopped and looked at her curiously,
but did not offer to render aid. Some
battered corner loafers drew near and
leered at her. The girls cheeks began
to burn, and she made efforts to get the
letter out. But it was caught fast and
refused to move one way or the other.
One of the small boys suggested that
she take off her cloak" and the other
small boys laughed. The girl began to
cry, and ran up to Sun reporter who
was passing and said:
Sir, will you be kind enough to put
that letter in the box for me, or else
pull it out and give it to me?'
The reporter hurried to the box and
thrust the letter inside.
'Oh, thank you so much" said the
girl Its my cape, you know-but
maybe you don't Inow-you see it-but
thank you, sir, so much" And she de,
parted almost running-N. Y. Sun.

JACK FROST 4 A GERMIcIDE.

Extract From Lecture by DIR. j. H. KEEL
logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
There are great many people who
say that the weather does not affect
them at all, but the weather does affect
everybody. 1t was reported some years
ago that man in Philadelphia was so
sensitive to the weather that he could
tell with accuracy every time there
was storm at the gulf of Mexico. Be
that as it may, the weather affects us
all. When the barometer goes up our
spirits go up, and when the barometer
goes down our spirits go down.
When the barometer is high we
get more oxygen and the vital
fires burn brighter, and when the ba-
rOmeter is low the reverse is true. 1t
is no wonder that person subject to
rheumatism or neuralgia feels these
changes in the weather with particular
force. When the barometer rises the
skin does more work, and when the ba-
rometer falls the skin does less work.
When the skin does less work, the kid
neys, liver and other excretory organs
have to do more work
But the changes in the weather are ex-
actly what we need as stimulants to the
system, and the reason why people who
live in tropical climates lack in vipor
and wilt down quickly under diseases.
is that they have none of the bracing
effects which come from changes of
temperature. A dead level of temper.
allure results in feebleness and physical
weakness, while changing temperatures
tone up the system and give vigor They
may be called a species of physical
gymnastics. 1t is exactly like living
sedentary life to live in climate in
which there is no change
Jack Frost is the best friend we have
He kills off myriads and myriads of
germs which otherwise would produce
epidemics of disease, and the alternate
freezing and thawing of spring and fall.
have the same effect upon certain dis
ease germs, typhoid fever germs for in
stance, as it would have upon a field
of corn after it had sprouted. Germs
that will stand either a great deal of
cold or great deal of heat, are killed
by a sudden cold snap, after they
have been started into life bv
few days of warm weather,
just in the same way that a field of
corn few inches high would be cut
down, whereas the seed corn itself be-
fore the termination would stand a
great deal of cold without injury, and
also quite high degree of heat The
alterations then of heat and cold in
the springtime and fall are particularly
beneicent in their influence upon life
and health. If people were not SO care
full to preserve typhoid fever germs in
cesspools and wells this disease would
be entirely exterminated by the action
of changes of the weather upon it's
germs. Considering these things then
we ought not to find so much fault
with the weather nor be so much dis
contented with its changes.-Reported
by Helen L. Manning.

Gratitude is not common virtue, but
sometimes it induces people to make
handsome requests. An old lady left
twenty thousand pounds to a gen
tleman for no other reason than
because he once held her pew door
open. A man who had been res.
cued from drowning by a sailor pre-
sented the latter with the magnificent
reward of one shilling. AS the man was
known to be rich, indignant murmurs
arose from the crowd who had wit
messed the rescue. Among them was
the poet Burns, who said: MY
friends the gentleman must know his
own value better than we do" The
life of the gentlemen to be mentioned
next was much more valuable. He had
been saved by carpenter from drown
ing in the river Tyne Five shillings
and the usual courtesies were all that
were given at the time, but three years
afterward the gentleman died and left
to his rescuer twenty-five thousand
pounds worth of landed estate and one
thousand four hundred and fifty pounds
in money. Clergymen, literary men
and medical men frequently receive
marks of gratitude from their admirers.
Some years ago a Bolton manufacturer
sent check of four thousand pounds
to Prof. Huxley. Charles Reade and
James Payn, the novelists, are said to
have been handsomely remembered in
the wills of readers who were
personally unknown to them. Mr.
Clement Scott, the dramatic critic, was
we believe, left legacy of the interest
on ten thousand pounds by an unknown
admirer. 1t is not often that man of
any profession receives an offer like
that which was made to Mr. Upper by
an American millionaire. 81 am one of

Something Unusual.

The other day overheard one gentle
man say to another: 81 hear you have
resigned your position as cashier of the
Blank bank" 80, no" was the sur
prised and immediate reply, and the
young fellow lifted his chin an inch
higher as he spoke, Il was discharged.
| should never think of resigning as
good position as that" l took a long
look at that young man. because [ made
up my mind instantly that the first time
| owned bank that young man should
be my cashier. Discharged! Why, bless
me! l haven't heard the word for years.
Everybody resigns now. Another
peculiar order of things I have OBJ
served: Nobody in these happy DAYS
ever gropes about trying to beg, borrow
or steal a situation; the situation. on the
contrary, runs about seeking the man,
and forces itself upon him, and finally.
growing ashamed of his handkerchief
ness, he accepts" it, and everybody is
tranquil. There is nothing so dreadful
in 'the mere word 'discharged;" it is
frequently a more honest word than
resigned" Because one person doesn't
want you is not so bad, you know:
buckle on your armor and see if some
other man or woman isn't just dying
