NOTES.

The rage for the French princess dress
increases, and it bids fair to rank among
the dominant styles for the spring season.
Cotton crepons in black, printed with
bright bouquets and garlands of flowers,
for house dresses are trimmed with satin
ribbon.
Princess dresses for the street as a rule
have coat fronts; they also appear with
slight hip draperies. Fan-plaited packs are
still popular on dress skirts.
Velvet ribbon viii be lavishly used on
simple spring costumes, but not always In
rows or points, The more original the plan
of adjustment, the more fashionable.
Fuller and Iooser sleeves will be used on
summer gowns, but by far the most pop1-
lar one is the sleeve pushed up from the ell
bow, The lower part Stimulating deep cum.
Robe dresses are to be made of chambrey
this spring. Dark blue chambrey with a
deep fiounce of white embroidery. trimmed
with dark blue and white ribbons, makes a
dainty morning gown.

HOUSEHOLD.

Entertainment has been made easy by the
prevalent custom of teas and receptions.
Even in home of most modest appoint
ment, these forms of hospitality are not
difficult. In these, as in other things, ex
travagance may be exhibited by profusion
of flowers and by elaborate refreshments,
yet simple affair may be made quite as
pleasant.
The hours for tea or reception are
usually from to Z. The hostess and re-
ceiving friends are beautifully dressed, and
the visitors are expected to be in their
handsomest calling costume. '1f the tea is
a formal one, the invitations are sent out at
least ten days in advance, and if the invited
guest is unable to attend, she should send
her card on the day of the reception.
When, however, the tea is informal it is
in good form to send penciled invitation
on the lady's visiting card. All that is
necessary is q slight repast, bouillon, choco-
late, sandwiches, cake and bon-bons being
considered quite enough. OF course there
is no embargo laid upon more elaborate
table if the hostess so desires.
Unless the reception is given on the lady's
day at home, call is expected; if on recep-
ton day, the attendance is considered a
call
The custom of introduction on these occa-
sions is embarrassing, and is really unneces-
sary, for 1t would be reflection on the
hostess to suppose it possible to meet unde-
sirable people az her house. Hence it fol-
lows that no lady should hesitate to engage
in conversation with her neighbors simply
because Mrs. A. has not been told by Mrs.
B. that the lady on her right is Mrs. c. 1t
is really simple courtesy &c exchange civil
remarks with the friend of your hostess.
Is it necessary to say that on such occa-
sions all personal animosities should be for
gotten, and ladies meeting in the home OF
a mutual friend should in no way make
their unpleasant relation to one another
manifest? The old sore need not be healed,
il it is the wish to keep it open, by this
temporary plaster true politeness puts
upon it.
The duties Of hostess at tea or recep-
ton are light. She is expected to stand in
some convenient place to receive her guests
and in taking leave of theni when she can
do so she VIII pass through the company
and see that there is no formality or stiff
ness iu the circle. It's also her duty TO see
that from time to time different ladies pass
into the tea room where her assistants are
presiding. The arrangements there are
usually a large center table decorated with
flowers. upon it the refreshments and the

It is time women of Texas were at work
preparing exhibits; the departments are
many, and in some one the work sent will
find place. Texas needs state building,
and women are working for that end with
noble perseverance, but there is other work
for women OF Texas, and it is none too soon
to be making ready theis exhibits.

movement that might give mothers of boys

Already girls are filing acceptably at less
wages positions that once were considered
as belonging exclusively to men, and boys
do not find it as easy as it once was to get
into business.
Everything that lessons the chances for
man to make living lessons the proba-
bility Of marriage, thereby increasing the
proportion of ceibates.
Women are exulting over business open
ings, but even the most enthusiastic are
scarcely willing for that reversal of condi-
lions which will put women into business
rather than retain them in domestic life.

A firm, easy walk is attainable by every
young woman, and is certificate of health,
because, to acquire it, there is no possibility
of relaxation that is fatal. Cultivate a
smooth, long step, expand the chest, and
throw the weight of the body on the loins,
and then a woman may hope to attain the
easy grace which seems natural to Eastern
women, because of the long-practced Gus
tom of carrying water jars on the head.

a pretty prevailing custom this season is
the luncheon given to prospective bride
as leave taking of her girl friends. For
the occasion a heart-shaped table is pre-
pared The cloth may be trimmed around
with heart-shaped band Of maiden hair

lamps. The center piece is two hearts
made of pink roses pierced by an arrow of
violets, all the lights being rose colored. This
is sufficient hint as to the other appoint
ments; heart-shaped baskets for almonds,
ices in pink hearts, arrows, cupids with
bows and wings, and orange baskets with
butterfly handles filed with pink jelly. At
the close of thefeast bride cake is brought
on in which is baked heart bangle to be

are at some distance and each one is served
in the lap. Rather more desirable, if the
size of the room admit, is the addition of
small tables with pretty tea clothes at

the lap is somewhat treacherous. The
guests after leaving the tea room are at lib

and he was constantly in the stalls of the
theater when E j. Lonnen was singing
there. he had freely expressed his inten-
tion Of bringing libel action for a2, 900
against Alderman Manton for saying that
! the Egan-Daly case had not been conducted
upon fair and just lines; but since the dis
closures concerning Blacks character have
come to light nothing has been heard Of the
action. Indeed, nothing has been heard Of
Black himself.
In Birmingham official circles the utmost
reticence Is preserved regarding the whole
business. It is Of course to tho interest Of
all concerned to prevent Government
inquiry, such as Is contemplated by the
Irish members, into Blacks career.
Awful Disgrace to tho City.

interviewed some half dozen of the heads Of
the police, could extract but little from

while Superintendent of Police, big,
burly Irishman, when questioned as to the
details Of the Black case, ssid: 'My only
reply is hum, ah hum"
Yet, despite the reticence at headquarters,
which has increased since the appearance of
Redmond's question, the whole Of the mem-
bers OF the Birmingham police force are
perfectly aware of the facts OF the case, and
speak of them in tremulous tones, since the
prospect Of an official inquiry has come into
view. It will be terrible exposure, is the
general opinion expressed by men who
thoroughly know tho situation. At any
rate, there is this alIimportant fact, that
when Detective SuperintendentVan Helden
was promoted to the position Vacated by
Black he said to the chief constable that If
he was to be in charge of the department 1t
would have to be conducted on honest lines,
to which the chief replied, 'Tt is quite time

the silver bill, it will be because the vote
on the motion to table indicates to the
| majority of the Democrats that the bill
cannot pass, and therefore they will moi
request the Committee on Rules to bring q
report cutting off filibustering.
Speaker Crisp defined the situation to be
simply this: If majority of the Demo-
Gratis in the House desire the Committee on
Rules to make report which will enable
the House to come to . direct vote on the
silver vote, and if they signify that desire,
the committee will make q report. If they
do not so signify, the committee will under
and the responsibility will rest with the
majority of the Democrats of the House
and not with the Committee on Rules
As to Mr.. Bland's references to the
Speakers opposition to silver, or his dupli-
city, the Speaker said he had nothing to say
except to recall that by his casting vote he
had himself prevented the bill from being
tabled, and to state that as Representative
from Georgia. he favors and will vote for
the free coinage of silver.
Crisp Will Surely Vote for Free Silver:
To show that he was in favor of the free
coinage of silver, the Speaker recalled the
fact that he had appointed a committee
which favored the measure, and had .ap-
pointed MI. Bland at the head Of that COM
mittee, notwithstanding Mr.. Bland had
been very active opponent of Mr. Crisp
in the Speakership contest Although
in favor of free coinage, the
Speaker stated that as Speaker of the
House he would endeavor to execute the
will of the majority of the Democrats
therein, respecting reports from the Com
mittee on Rules, and no criticism by Mr.
Bland or effort by Mr.. Bland to shift the re-
sponsibility would deter him from pursuing
this course.

WHY INDIANS ARE MAD.

They Arc Denied Justice and the Privilege
OF Eating Raw Beef Entrails.
CHICAGO, March 28-Captain Y. D. Nc
Gillicuddy. formerly the Indian agent at
Pine Ridge, called at army headquarters to-
day and gave 1t as his opinion that trouble
might be expected at the Rosebud and
other agencies. The Indians have been
aroused to high state of excitement by the
recent killing of an Indian out of the juris-
diction Of the Government The Indians de-
manded vengeance, and Whipple, the mur-
derer, was arrested, but the authorities
claimed nothing could be done with him, as
the killing occurred outside of the jurisdic-
tion of the United States. The Indians
could not see the logic of this, and are now
muttering and making threats. The red
skins are still indulging in the ghost dance.
Another complaint made by the Indians
is that they are not allowed to eat part of
the cattle which the Government gives
them. Fresh entrails, and raw at that, are
considered a luxury, but the eating of these
delicacies has been stopped by the Interior
Department, it being contended that this
food tends to arouse the savage natures of
the Indians. The red men have taken this
greatly to heart, and some of them have re-
fused to take their ratioEs because the beef
was not served la entrail
