In my third illustration you will see an ex-
quisite little house dress. SO graceful and be-
coming that it would almost have the effect Of
a liberal education on your husband. with par
ticuldr stress on the word liberal. 1t may be
made up in many WAYS and with many combi-
nations OF tone and texture. but one very pretty
way would be to select n chevroned wooden dis
playing harmony of light green, cream and
black. The dress should be cut umbrella style,
by which Imean in narrow breadths and very
bias at the top. so that the stripes of tho ma
terial NAV join more and more at point. You
finish the bottom OF the skirt with lack vel
vet ribbon about an inch and half wife. The
corsage is OF the same material, only the upper
portion is covered with gray silk muslin,
blouse fashion and falling little over the
let,which is made up Of Byzantine gold material.
u must be boned and male over strong
foundation and finished top and bottom with
black velvet ribbon. On the lower side this
ribbon is tied AT the back and falls in long ends.
The skirt is made demi-traln and has very
few pleats at thc bach. The cutout is gath
cred and there is a narrow ribbon sowed under
the head of the gathers and tied in front.
There are double sleeves. the under one of the
WOODEN material covered with pulled silk mus
lin. The pulled portion must be cut straight
and be gathered top and bottom. The cuffs are
OF the same material as the corselet and have
the same finish.
very useful garment for the privacy Of the
boudOir may be made up in plain or stamped
fannels, with lace garniture at the throat and
wrists. You will get an idea of what mean by
gancing at the last illustration. As n rule, how
ever, such negliges are hardly permissible in
dining or living rooms although. with u little
thought and moderate expenditure. they may
be made to assume quite dressy and CO.
quettish look. 1t all depends upon the wearer.
1t will be remembered that when the mes
sengers arrived to inform the Princess Victoria
that she was Queen of England that lady, then
not much more than girl in her teens, had not
vel risen. but, sprnging out OF bed and snatching
up the first neglige that presented itself. she
met the dignified ministers with such charm
ing grace and composure that they never once
thought OF her inappropriate toilet
ECONOMY IN DRESS.
As the great majority of homes fall within
the category of modest ones il behooves the
lady of the manse to exercise economy with
regard to dress and make the hard-earned
dollar go as far as possible. In view of this
fact recommend to your notice the sleeveless
velvet casaque. which you may wear over any
dress and thus often impart to it look of
newness and tidiness Black probably would
be more likely to go with the largest number
of dresses, but there are neutral tones which
harmonize with almost everything. These
casaques are at present very modish. and, in
addition to the fac: that they are easily made
and quite Inexpensive. they are, a rule, very
becoming. II you wish to attain little more
brilliant effect you may trim with fur and tit a
plastron to your gown. 1t Is at times quite

From the Chicago Daily News.
Some years ago the friends Of Partisan
thief adopted decidedly unique method Of
carrying On a clandestine correspondence with
him while he was awaiting trial. One day the
] . er was visited by the prisoners berothed,
VINO asked him to give her lover an envelope.
This. upon being opened. was found to con-
tain simply small lock of her hair. around
which was folded leaf of book The taller
did not consider il worth his while to deliver
this souvenir to the culprit, and therefore
threw il aside.
A day or two later a similar Enclosure was
handed in at the prison gate and shared the
fate Of the predecessor. In the course of a
week another was left by the same person.
This aroused the suspicion Of the governor OF
ths prison, to whom had been detailed the cir
cumstances. He determined to investigate
the meaning. and, accordingly. first examined
the printed leaf. This. he found. was torn
from printed novel aud contained twenty
six lines on each side.
He then turned his attention to the hair and
discovered that there were twenty-six pieces
of unequal length. This puzzled him for
awhile, and then, suddenly jumping to the con-
clusion that there must be some connection
between the numbers OF the printed lines and
the numbers OF hairs, be laid each OF the latter
along the line of the page they respectively
reached, beginning with the shortest hair at
the top OF the leaf.
After changing them about several times he
discovered that each hair pointed to a differ
ent letter, ana the combination thus produced
formed u slang sentence, by means of which
the prisoner was given to understand that his
friends had ascertaiped the day on which he
was to be taken to court and were determined
10 make bold attempt to rescue him as soon
MS he made his appearance.
Taking the cue, the governor adopted every
precaution to Illustrate the well-iaid plans Of
the outsiders. The attempt was made, and as
a natural consequence the conspirators soon
found themselves in the same condition as the
one for whom they had planned the rescue

THE WANDERING JEW,
A Rabbi Says That the Prophet Elijah Was
the Original

the Original
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
DIR. Philipson, rabbi Of the Mount street
temple. Cincinnati, lectured on the Wander
ing Jew" in the Scovil avenue temple last
night. In part the lecture was as follows:
"All nations are 10th to believe that their
good and great men, their heroes, are not
alive. In former ages they have willingly
listened to any tradition which said that their
llustrious predecessors were not dead. King
Arthur was supposed by the English to live on,
although he did not appear before them. The
Germans imagined tina. Frederick Barbarosa
lay in a trance until the time Of great need
would come to the nation. when he would
again lead them to victory. Many nations have
had similar traditions Everywhere we find
the stories Of the immortal sleepers
1T Is to this class that the story Of the Wan
dering Jew probably belongs. Early in the
thirteenth century q form of the legend was
given to the English-speaking people by an Ar
raenian bishop. 1t was not the legend OF Q
wanderer, but OF an immortal or waiting Jew.
who must exist to the end Of time. In the six
teenth century we hear Of a version which has
been the text OF many a drama; the legend of
Jew doomed to wander up and down the
earth to the end Of time because of an insult
offered the Christian Savior. Let US look for
the source Of the story.
The jews, like other nations, had their
legends Of their immortal great men. Enoch
was supposed to have been taken from his SUI
roundings without dying . natural death.
Elijah was taken to the skies in a chariot of fire.
Tradition stated that Elijah was wandering in
disguise among his people, doing good wherever
he went There is no doubt that this WAS the
first wandering Jew, the immortal Elijah. This
is no doubt the source from which the Christian
story took its rise. The first appearances of
the legend we're during the middle ages, at
about the time Of the most relentless persecu.
ton Of the Jews.
"a Christian monk perhaps shaped the le-
gend OF Elijah to his own purpose to represent
the jews as . cursed rnce. By the aimsy logic
prevalent at that age . scriptural quotation
was fitted to the altered legend, and the tale Of
the Wandering Jew augmented the bitterness
Of the persecution. But this legend once be-
lieved lie now known to be but q legend. Still
il is ignorantly thought and preached in too
many places But D'Israeli has proved in his
writings that the scattering Of the Jews
is not the result OF Q curse. Historic
ally and dogmatically IL L. proved 10
DO impossible. The Jews were present in every
quarter Of the known world before the cruci,
Hxion, allowing the story Of the crucifixion 10
be true. This surely was not the result of the
Savior's curse. Dogmatically tho only grounds
for the supposed curse are found in tho words
attributed BY Matthew 10 the rabbls, .ais
blood be upon rs and our children Thess
were the words Of the Judged and not Of the
Judge, II the tale b true"
