A Luxury That ~ Much Cheaper Than
Formerly.
Many women of refined tastes who in
times past longed for the delightful
luxury of silkcn underwear can now
revel in it, for in all the stores are to be
found good strong surahs and wash
ing silks, white and tinted, at as
tonishingly low prices, and these silken
garments are 80 easily cleaned and
freshened that the price that was asked
for freshening the old style rnttling
starched skirts. bedecked with fonnces,
frills and insertion, is saved over and over
again by the adoption Of the silk gar
ments in their place. The modistes hail
these skirts with great satisfaction. for
there are few toilets that do not look
and hang better over silk skirts, and
the present sheath style of gown really
demands them. OF course there is, and
always will be, q sense of Deatness and
freshness about fine linen and muslin
underwear, and in their place for certain
uses they have no rival. In morning
dress, for example, many women still
prefer them daintily Numbered, how
ever, and "done up" in the new meth
cd, with only the very thinnest Of water
starch, which only gives them q slight
body and no stiffness whatever. Still,
for general uses silk is supreme. IN. Y.

FACING A LION.

In one of the side shows connected
with the circus was a cage with single
lion in it. On the cage was placard
reading: ''This beast has killed ten
men. One thousand dollars to anyone
who dares enter his cage" A big sign
to the same effect was hung up OUT
doors, and those who didn't go in to see
the fat boy and the mermaid surely
wanted to gaze on the lion. There was
a good crowd in, and the lecturer was
about to begin on the mermaid when q
little old man, who was bow-legged and
hump-backed, crowded to the front, and
said:
Look here, mister, want try for
that one thousand dollars. Gimme a
show at that lion."
