a New York girl who was a bride just be-
fore the holidays. Her dress had a prin-
cess cut, with plaitings of deep Soudan lace
introduced into the two wide panels in
front; in the middle was al enormous bow
of deep rose velvet surmounting the lace
plaitings and surmounted in turn by three
rose-colored prince of Wales feathers.
Three lengths of rose-colored ribbon velvet
were looped from this bow and caught at
different heights on the right side with
other bows and plumes; on the left side a
length of soft silk was caught beneath the
middle bow and carried around to the back
where it was held with the biggest bow Of
all and the most imposing bunch of feath-
ers. Tn short sleeves we're of embroid-
cred chiffon held by bows and feathers on
the shoulders, both bows and feathers
standing erect or waving in the heated air
of the ballroom with the most nonchalant
independence imaginable. The catalogue
was not yet complete, for the fuzzy, much
curled hair of the pretty wearer was twisted
into q Greek '.knot"-or more accurately a
bunoh-with feathers planted in it's heart
and roaring themselves skyward over all.
There is nothing more characteristic of
the winter than the MISREPRESENTATION
Last night | looked about at the theater
and saw their open glowing petals, symbols
of luxury IL abundance, flaming from
every corner. They shone out upon the
bosoms OF black gowns and of fawn colored
ones. They warmed up pale blue and had
q weird, vivid effect. showing brilliant
against green, They were worn upon pink
and worn upon gray. There was a shy
girl in white, a girl in her first season. who
was decked with them. and a belle in yellow,
who has been q belle for seven or eight
years. The prettiest combination Of all,
perhaps, was a dress of pale golden brown,
figured with cream colored flowers. with
cream colored moss trimmings edging
everything, and the pomegranate buds
peeping out from the moss and out from
ears.
Do you like better the violets we wore a
year ago or pomegranate flowers?

half ago. Antique fashions for years past
have been the bright particular fashions,
but they have not shown themselves upon
everyday business occasions with any
thing like the rank completeness with
which they are now showing themselves.

not brighter than his own, with evident adj
miration. AS the twain went by me he
lifted his hand and touched the soft folds
Of her skirt with one brown finger and then
drew back as if astonished at his own dar-
ing. She did not notice: she would not
have understood if she had noticed; and
the mite of Il darkey grinned a white
toothed grin and trotted on happily.
Ecru vigogne was the stuff that seemed

look to thu costume, for a century
between fit wear for the street and fit wear
for the house, as it was supposed they had
now learned to discriminate until the re-
vlval of long walking skirts so plainly and
so sadly gave the lie to the superstition.
My seventeen-year-old wore a poke hat

poke Of ecru felt with brown ribbons and
brown plumes.
1t may be that the twentieth century is
coming in with even more of self-assertion
than has characterized the nineteenth. for

shoulders and the bertha filling in the
front, and the mount Of the pearl-sticked

front, giving it richness md color, and pur-
ple velvet made the back and the pointed
train. Purple velvet made the bows that
caught the sleeves on the shoulders and

There WAS one pretty girl with ayes that
had never known disappointment who wore
q beaver brown gown with rows of black
up and down picket fence style of decora-
ton to defend her waist, and with bias

beaver bands. Her velvet %officer's collar
had a brown feather ruching, and her felt
hat was trimmed with brown ribbons and
plumes.
There was a handsome matron, too. of
the sort whose prosperity haunts itself in
what seems the very w%antonness of insult,
whose dress was n tobacco brown cnmel's

skirt was plated, and the tight front was

a petticoat of fawn. On the right it was
laced together, the fawn skirt showing

RAUM's INVESTIGATION.
A Committee Appointed to Look Ate
the Commissioners of Pensions.

A Committee Appointed to Look After
the Commissioner of Pensions.
A committee OF the house has been
appointed for the purpose of ~investi-
eating Mr.. Raum. There is little doubt
as to the need of such investigation,
but the committee should be allowed
to extend it's inquiries beyond the
merely personal transactions of the
pension commissioner. The private
speculations of Raum have little to do
with the great scandals that have made
his administration notorious save as
they may lead to conclusions as to
Raum's relations with those known in
Washington as members of the pension
ring. What enormous profits these
pension sharks have made within q
few years is common talk at the CAPT.
tai. If the ] oIse committee shall be
able to lay bare even a moiety of such
frauds it will have performed a great
service to the country. When it is un.
derstood that the number of pension
ers exceeds 800, 900, and that this is to
be increased to more than a round mil
lion within the year, it will be seen
that something must be rotten in Dem
mark. A quarter of a century after
the close of the war the pension list is
to exceed in numbers the roll of the
federal army at any one time. The
bare statement is proof of frauds that
are ~disgraceful to honest pensioners
and wickedly burdensome 10 the peo-
Pile.
The committee will discover in the
course of their work that many vet
Grams in Washington and throughout
the country will aid them in
ing some of the schemes by which the
pension Office has been disgraced.
There is an organization of old veter.
ans at Washington whose membes are
earnest in their determination to stop
pension frauds before they shall have
destroyed the entire system. To these
old soldiers the committee may appeal
with a certainty Of valuable assistance.

1t is unlikely, 1t has happened in
the past that considerable bodies Of
men have so pinned their faith to a
leader that they were not only ready
to follow him in the forlorn hope of
success but quite ready to follow him
to certain defeat and to aid him in
pulling down the political fabric on
himself and them for the sake OF
crushing his rivals. But in these mod
ern times there is comparatively little
of such devotion. The hold which the
politician has on his followers is based
very largely on the hope Of something
for themselves and when that incen.
tive loses its force attachment wanes.
So long as Mr.. Hill Is in the field with
q reasonable prospect of success he can
count ON a more or less enthusiastic
following on the part of those who
have political expectations. But the
moment it becomes clear that he Is
marching to defeat and has no object
left but to prevent some n else suc
ceeding where he cannot, he will lose
the biggest part of his army. 1t would
be different, perhaps, if he were fight
ing for a principle; but If there was
any pretense of that at first it has been
abandoned.
1t is not, therefore, by any means
certain that the split in New York
means either the loss of New York to
the democratic column or the failure
of the state to furnish the candidate;
though the chance of carrying the state
at the present outlook is better with a
candidate from some other state

the great, gripping, old-fashioned
pill. There's too much unpleasant
ness for the money. Ought to be
better, too. They're big enough,
and make trouble enough, to do
more good.
That's just what Dr.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets dc, good.
Instead of weakening the system,
they renovate it; instead of up
setting, they cleanse and regulate
it-mildly, gently, and naturally.
They're the original Little Liver Pills
the smallest but most effective,
purely vegetable, perfectly harmless,
and easiest to take. Only one
little Pellet for a gentle laxative
three for a ,cathartic. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
ton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
and all arrangements of the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels are promptly
relieved and permanently cured.
They're the cheapest pills you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for the good
you get. It's a plan peculiar to DR..
Pierce's medicines.
