DREssMAKING By MODEL.
A Plan Of Society Queen That Might Be
Adopted With Profit

Plan Of a Society Queen That Might Be
Adopted With Profit
New York World.
Mrs. August Belmont, Jr., who has .he
reputation of being one OF the best-dressed
women in New York society, has plan of
operation which recommends itself for gen.
eraI adoption. Living much OF the time in
her country house and finding it incon-
venient to come into town every time she
was having dress made, it occurred to her
to have duplicate figure modelled after her
own. The body when completed was COW
cred with soft cloth suitable for pinning
on lining, trimming and drapery.
1t cost the lady either SS or $40, but II
paid for itself in car fare alone in q very
short time. Accompanying the body was
skirt stand the same height as the model.
These two implements of trade were sent to
the dressmaker, who has this to say about
the arrangement: 81 have absolutely no
trouble with Mrs. Belmont dresses. I
rarely sec her. She sends me word or illus
trations about the style or sleeve, drapery or
length of the basque. I buy model patterns,
fit them to the body and send the dress home
when it is finished"
Now, while the customer who has to pay
tailor or modiste S25 for making dress can
not be expected to provide duplicate
figure, 1t is an investment that will in the
end pay the home dressmaker.

"Thc Old Color Guard" father Of all recent
military dramas, will be put on the stage of one

OF the Rebellion. Post 1865 presentation will
be decidedly novel in one particular. The Con-
federate characters will all be interpreted by
ex-Confederates. A number have already vol

more tardily performed in winter than in the
fall. The same is true. also. of the excretory
functions The bowels are often sluggish, and
the pores of the skin throw off but little waste
matter at this season. The system, therefore
requires opening up little, and also purifying
and regulating, and the safest, surest and most
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies, the
painful disturbances of the bowels, the bilious
attacks and the nervous visitations SO common
at this time OF the year, will do well to reinforce
their systems with this renowned vegetable
stomachic and invigorant. 1t Improves the np-
petite, strengthens the stomach, cheers the
spirits and renovates the whole physique.

KANSAS CITYS KICK.
Protest Against the Allotment Of Money
for River improvements

for River Improvement.
WARRINGTON, April ia representa-
tive Of the Kansas City Transportation Bu-
reau called upon Acting Secretary Grant,
at the War Department, to-day and pre-
sented protest against the allotment Of
money made by the Missouri River Com.
mission for the improvement OF the Missouri
river. The protestants say that the conn.,
mission has authorized the expenditure OF
S100, 900 on bend in the upper river, but
made no allotment for improvements at
Kansas City. Unless measures are taken
promptly, the work of the last two years on
the lower river, they say, will be lost, and
an allotment of $500, 600 will be necessary to
protect the channel.
Acting Secretary Grant informed the rep
resentative of the bureau that the War
Department was powerless to interfere with
the work of the commission. The law pro-
vided that the Improvements should be
made in accordance with the plans of the
Missouri River Commission, and the Secre-
tary's function was merely to approve rec
commended expenditures.

old-fashioned French chatting dish. 1t Is q

dish containing hundreds of recipes for enjoya-

New Gold Decorated Glass.

A new gold decorated glass is designed to be
used with the gold service instead of the cut
glass, and is of most exquisite beauty. But
three sets have arrived In Pittsburg, and it
may be SAID to Pittsburg's credit that
one of the three was the first
received in the United States. The
Venetian, Bohemian and French were repre-
sentcd respectively in the three sets. Nothing,
according to an ackno nogledged authority on
such subjects has ever been introduced for
the t. Lle equal in delicacy and beauty to the
gold decorated glasses. The banquet table for
a June bride is to be laid with the gold service
including the glasses.

Delicate and fragile in outline. with well pol

Yea, verify, the Literary Society is abroad in

forerunner of the graduation exercises that
come later Several of the High School variety
have lately been given, and numerous more are

Botanical excursions are likewise popular Just
now, and the gay students find great pleasure
in roaming the suburban hills and wales in
search of the new and the rare in botanical
specimens and early flowers that may be trans
planted INTO the garden.

year, not alone by students, but by everyone
who can indulge in it. The old-fashioned

pies, pSnsies and pinks, all of which blossom
the first year; and sweet-williams, hollyhocks,
fox glove. and similar plants for blooming thu
second year. Valley lillies, too, will have an
honOred place in most gardens, and sweet peas
will be great favorites; the latter, by the way,
by experienced gardeners were planted during
the week for blooming IN July and August
