The Revival of the Tea Gown.

There is evidence of return to popu-
larity of the tea gown. So long
as the tea gown is confined to the
uses of its existence it is comfortable,
suitable and effective. When it aspires
to the dignity of dinner costume, how
ever, or descends to the neglige Of a
morning wrapper, it is Immediately out
of place; it is too fine for the latter and
not formal enough for the former. After
its introduction in London drawing
rooms few years ago as an easy toilet
between driving and dining, it soon
Haunted its dainty fripperies on this side
the Atlantic.
On American soil it began under va
rious flimsy DISCUSSES to assist at recep-
lions, drums and dinners. Everybody
had tea gown. Four cent challie ones
were worn with curl papers in the tene-
ments and costly imported morsels actu-
ally graced Co bathrooms.
Naturally the reaction came in due
time. Last year the almost severely
simple close fitting gowns worn by host
esses and those assisting them on sat
home" days were marked feature Of
such functions. The tea gown was put
so resolutely aside that it was not even
tolerated. Out of this food and ebb,
however, we are to have tea gowns to
be used as such, but we are not to have
tea gowns in the combination role to be
worn at any time.-Her Point of View
in New York Times.

The Money Question in Sorosis.

Sorosis is divided into opposing fac
tions now concerning the financial af-
fairs of the club. Sorosis was founded
as an intellectual rather than a social or
ganization, and the original members
see signs of decadence in the fact that
the married element has crept in and is
making its invidious influence felt. The
most marked expression of this is the re-
cent removal of the club from the ban
quoting hall at Delmonico's, which has
been gratuitously at their service for
nearly quarter of century, to the
new Sherry ballroom, where each meet
ing will be held at an expense of 800.
The factions meet at the coming bust
ness session upon the question of dou-
bling the entrance fee and the yearly
dues as well. The leaders of the literary
element, comprising the most valuable
women of the club, are opposed to the
new measure on the ground that money
shall not be made the test requisite of
membership, and that the increase in
fees will exclude the very women most
desirable and valuable as members, as
unfortunately money and brains are in
most cases .hopelessly divorced.-New
York Sun.

buttons for Ornaments.

The tailors and modistes are using
very large buttons, but oftener as orna-
ments than means of fastening. A tight
fitting basque bodice of rich green cloth
is cut from the neck to far below the
hips in one length. On each side of the
invisible double breasted opening are
sewn very large buttons, six on each.
The sleeves to the elbow are green vel
vet. The cuffs, collar, and deep flap
pockets are green and gold brocade.
Among the new buttons are those show
ing copies of old coins of Henry VII,
Queen Elizabeth and William the Con-
queror's day. There are also reproduce
tions of old Paris guild medals and me-
dallions in copper amalgam and mixed
gold and bronze; also st. Nicholas pinks
are cut on Paris buttons designed for
Louis XVI coats. Silver and gold but
tons are of dull effect and are used witt
garnitures, to which they correspond.
The new reds and browns of fashion
have their counterparts of color in
shaded buttons made of bronze metal

Pretty Decorations at "A Fair.

The season of fairs and bazaars is upon
us. A beautiful church fair held last
week had the stalls in padoga shape.
The tops were FURNISHED gold; they
were open all around and beautifully fes-
TONED with cheesecloth and smilax,
each one taking different color. The
effect was very handsome. A second
fair had for centerpiece in the circular
hall a Maypole wound with white rib
bons, and from the silvered top long
widths of white cheesecloth wreathed
with simlax radiated TO all the booths,
which, in large circle, went around the
hall. Shorter lengths reached to the
circling table directly about the pole,
which, all white and green, was tended
by six young girls dressed in white and
green and selling bonbons and flowers
The other booths took different COM
binations, one of blue and silver for the
sale of dolls being much admired. New

A Daughter OF the Revolution.

Mrs. Flora Adams Darling, head of
the new Daughters of the Revolution,
is a slight, blond woman, who stoops
little under the widows veil she always
wears, and whose deafness causes her to
give an attention to any one who ad-
dresses her that looks very gracious and
is always Factoring till one finds out its
reason. She is the widow of Confed-
crate general, and has published vol
ume of her war experience, containing
an account of the battle of Chicka-
manga, which account General Grant
considered the best he had ever read.
She has been for years successful news
paper woman. Her niece, Florence
Adams, is the youngest Daughter of the
Revolution and has on more than one
occasion read her aunt's addresses to the
assembled chapters.-New York Press.

The Clothing of Babies.

Is it possible that women who know
how to clothe their babies and little chill
dren sensibly always keep them at home,
while those who haven't particle of
sense in this matter insist upon parading
them in public places? 1t often seems to
the Listener that this is the case. The
majority of liGtle children that one sees
upon the street are either overload or
UNDERGRAD. Sometimes one meets the
two extremes close together. Saturday,
at railroad station, the LISTENER saw
half way elderly woman, who looked as
if the possession of a child were new
thing to her, who had in her lap tiny
baby not more than two months old.
The child was weighted down with a
flannel skirt deeply embroidered, a white
skirt heavily trimmed and tucked, a
white dress with lace and tucks, all a
yard long or more, and over these a long
cloak and cape, both embroidered.
The effect Of the baby's tiny head,
about as big as an apple, projecting from
this great mass and length of draperies,
would have been irresistibly comical if
it had not been for the thought of the
suffocating burden that the poor infant
was under. Close by, in the lap of an
other woman, was the antithesis OF this
arrangement. 1t was baby in short
clothes scantily clad, with short stock
ings, and its bare legs were blue with
cold. There was no sign that it was In
sufficiently clad from poverty. In the last
few days the Listener has seen women
who wear fur capes leading little girls
dressed in thin white dresses. Boston

Cats Tails for Bonnet Decoration.

Satb DOnneC DeCOTaLiOn.
Paraders in the social procession on
upper Broadway were recently over
whelmed at the sight of CONNECTION Of
bonnet worn by demure little blond
who seemed to experience no embarrass-
ment at the amount Of attention she was
attracting. In every particular but ono
the bonnet was regulation article that
30 out of every 100 men or women would
have passed by without deeming it es-
pecially worth Of attention.
But hanging over the front lap, and
twisted around under a small bunch of
violets, was a cats tail. There was no
installing the nature of the article, for
there it hung, a sinister reminder Of the
direful deed committed at midnight by
q bootjack in the hands of an irate man
whose slumbers had perhaps been awak
ened by the yeowling of this midnight
marauder. A man was moved by the
sight OF this strange bit of Ornamental
ton to inquire of one of New York's
most fashionable milliners if the reign
ing decorations for women's head cover
ing during the winter would be feline
caudal appendages.
The lady, without giving any indica.
ton Of surprise, replied in the affirma-
tive. She said that in London and Paris
the demand for cats tails to be used for
ornamental purposes is spreading to an
alarming extent. Most of the recent
importations of bonnets have cats tail
or two in variegated colors attached IN
some conspicuous place. 1t therefore
behooves the native feline to do less

FLOUR MAKERS
ton OF Rates on Wheat and Flour
from Kansas Points to Texas.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN TEX, March S.-The -four mill
owners of Texas are somewhat exercised
over intelligence received TO the effect that
a movement is on hand in Kansas and the
territory tributary to Kansas City, to OBJ
tain from the interstate commerce commits
sion reversal of decision made by it
about eighteen months ago, fixing differ
entail of 3 cents between wheat and flour
shipped from that territory TO Texas. Two
members of the commission having died
since that decision, it is feared that their
successors may be disposed to agree with
Judge Morrison the chairman who is in
favor of abolishing the 8 cent diferential
and making equal rates between wheat and
-four. How would that injure the Texas
miller2 In this way: Texas does not
raise wheat enough ''to bread her''-not by
half For that reason Texas millers must
buy at least half the wheat they grind from
Kansas City or St. Louis. II the Kansas
City miller ship his -four to Texas for
the same RAJ charged for wheat, the Texas
miller could not afford to buy any wheat
have to stand the local freight rates on that
-four when shipped to his customers, which
would be about an average of 10 cents per
100 pounds in excess of the rate on Kansas
-four to Texas common points. Hence the
reason for the maintenance of the existing
di1erensial or charge of 5 cents per 100
pounds more con -four than on wheat
shipped to the South from points North.
The object sought by the Texas millers is
to have the favor and support of the Texas
commission when the matter shall be
brought before the interstate commission
for readjudication.

INTERESTING HISTORY
ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM OF 1893.
German. Carlisle and Cleveland Agreed on
It, but the President Declined
to Stand by It.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The following
history is related upon high authority Of
the connection of Mr. Cleveland with tie
platform adopted by his party in lSSS:
Some time before the convention Mr.
Cleveland, Mr.. German and other promi-
nent Democrats conferred about 1t. Mr..
Cleveland expressed serious doubts about
going before the country on a platform
based upon his tariff message and sug-
geated that perhaps the platform of 1884,
upon which he was elected, would, be the
best. Senator German agreed with him
and it was decided the platform of 1884
should be the platform of e1SSS. It was
drawn up by Manton Marble and given to
Senator German to present to the commit
tee on resolutions of the convention.
Up to that time Senator German had de-
clined TO go to the convention as delegate,
but at the personal solicitation of Mr..
Cleveland, he wired to his friends in Mary
land to have him elected as a delegate to
the St. Louis convention. He went to the
depot here in Washington with the plat
form drawn up by Manton Marble at the
request of Mr. Cleveland in his pocket At
the depot messenger from the president
met him with note, asking that the plat
form be returned for few slight amend
ments. 1t was returned and Mr.. Cleve-
land changed it slightly and sent it out to
ST. Louis by a special messenger to Senator
German.
When the committee on resolutions of
the convention met Senator German pre-
scented the platform already drawn up with
the statement that it had been approved by
Mr. Cleveland and that ne wanted it
adopted. Henry Watterson objected to it
unless Mr.. Cleveland should telegraph en-
phatically that it was the platform he
wanted. Senator German wired to Mr..
Cleveland to wire him to that effect. At
the same time he wired to Senator Carlisle,
who was with him and Mr.. Cleveland when
they agreed upon it. A reply came from
Mr. Carlisle that he did not remember ex-
actly what had been agreed upon. Mr.
Cleveland showed the white feather by lot
answering at all. OF course this embar-
raised the Maryland senator and he made
no further fight The Watterson platform
was then adopted, and when Senator Cor
man returned 10 Washing ton and called
upon Mr.. Cleveland for an explanation his
only reply was that he did not think it
would have been dignified in him to inter-
fere with the action of the convention.
That's the true history of the platform Of
1885.
