where. II one has fondness for Wsttea u
or Grecian draperiss, she feels at perfect
liberty TO wear them at home. Nothing is
prettier for those whose forms admit, than
the short. wasted thin silk gown. Many Of
the new silks are just fitted for these house
dresses. A young lady recently wore one
of tafeta silk, which may be thus de-
scribSd: The skirt was slightly gathered in
front and edged at foot with narrow silk
rufae TWAS thickly plated in the back,
which was only moderately long. The
bodice was short-waisted and full and
turned away in low V, finished
with directoire reyers. The V was filed
in, forming q shorter, narrower V, with
pink chiffon. Around the waist she wore
broad, full sash Of the silk, tied in the
back in a small bow, but with ends that
touched the floor. A fine chain around the
neck held pearl pendant. Her ties were
black patent leather, with suede tops.
These sashes are most conspicuous
feature Of pretty house or evening gowns,
whether the silk is taffeta, shot or twilled.
Another youthful arrangement is to fold
the soft silk wide, almost up to the bust,
carrying it in the back mp to the neck,
where it is fastened under Vatican bow.
Plaid surah sash ribbons win be worn by
misses with their white dresses. In this
case no other ribbon should be used.
A neat school gown for a miss of twelve
to fifteen years may have modified shell"
skirt, round waist shirred at the center of
the collar, back and front, and opened on
the left side. The opening, collar, belt and
wrists to be trimmed with bias band
piped with contrasting material. Woolen
or cotton dress fabrics may be used.
NOTES.
Long sleeves will continue in fashion.
Night dresses have become so fanciful
as to be used in the morning for robes de
chambre.
The new sashes which are to be fashion
able next season are very wide, very ele-
CANT and not so very expensive, considering
their quality and device.
The demi-train holds its own. Ladies'
dinner and evening dresses are made either
in the princess shape or with draped bodice
and round waist and sash.
An odd little necklace is coming into be-
ing as an accompaniment of the collarless
gown. It is an inch-wide black velvet rib
bon, on which are sewed a collection of old
jewels of divers kinds.
There is fashion now, and O very pretty
one, too, Of wearing band of satin ribbon
around the threat-the color of the ball
gown-fastened in the back til a small
rosette and two long ends that reach TO the
bottom of the skirt.

faithfully in this cause, it is to be hoped
that they will not be distanced by their
Western sisters. Texas has at least one
sculptress and why not endeavor to induce
her to execute some work that shall be Of
state significance, for here as in the North
west the Indian and the buffalo have re-
tired before the advance of civilization.
The happy woman is the woman who gets
out of herself and lives for others; one who
does not beat her wings against gilded bars,
or fret because Of narrow limitations. The
Disconnected, the persisteutly unhappy, are
such persons as overestimate their own
deserts, fail to recognize merit in another,
and shut themselves up from the expanding
Influences of sun and shower, in withholding
the smile and the tear of human sympathy.

A JUST MONARCH.
Italy's King Acknowledges His Mistake
In II Dispute with Peasant.

Italy's King Acknowledges His Mistake
In II Dispute with II Peasant.
The good nature Of Italy's king is
we'll illustrated by an anecdote from
the days of the last royal hunts at
Monza. King Humbert is accustomed
to take his sport with the gun in pref
ty much the same clothes as other per-
sons and without attendants, thereby
distinguishing himself from his i'm
perial German ally, who has insignia
of his high Office all over his hunting
costume and is accompanied usually on
the chase by noblemen and flunkeys.
Shortly before the end of his last sea-
son the kings hound started a hare
about two miles from Monza, and the
king fired. At the same instant an
other shot was heard, and an Italian
peasant with an old-fashioned gun and
mongrel dog hurried up from the op-
posite direction. The peasant mistook
the simply yet elegantly clad sports
man who disputed his possession of the
hare for Roman dude, and caught up
the royal arm stretched toward the
dead game. There was hot discus
sion, which ended in the triumph of
the kings superior logic and his taking
off the hare
At the royal castle the king gave the
hare to the servants that they might
prepare it for his supper, and stood by
as they dressed it for the pan. When
the entrails were removed the bullet
that caused the animals death was
found 1t was of the old style for a
gun of the pattern of fifty years ago.
The king looked at it and at once sent
out messenger to summon to the
castle the peasant who had disputed
the possession of the hare. When the
old man was led into the kings pres
ence the latter stretched to him both
hands and said:
"My dear man, have just discovered
my mistake. The hare belongs to you
AS it is already roasting, however, l
can do no more than to ask you to help
me eat it." 'aa'
The peasant sat at the kings right
hand at dinner that evening, and, al
though high society spoiled his appe-
tite, he jingled his wineglass against
that of his sovereign and rode home,
considerably exhilarateds in the royal
carriage. Chicago Tribune.

placed upon his back. The outfit was
then headed toward the east and
turned loose. In five minutes it had
disappeared from view up the winding
trail that led to Phillips pass. Woods
was three days in reaching Del Norte.
Then it took him three days to return
to Lake City. In the meantime had
ground out enough matter for the sec
ond issue and a volunteer corps of COM
positors had putt In type. The forms
mad been put to press and we were
just commencing to work them off.
The reading appeared to be all right,
only the title of the paper insisted on
coming out on the fourth page. l
couldn't entirely understand it, and we
were just on the point of turning the
press around with the tympan sheet
pointing the other way when Woods en-
tered the office, tired and dusty with
his eighty five mile ride. He gave one
look at the form and exclaimed:
You're an elegant bloomin' lot of
buffers. Eff you'uns wor assayed for
brains there wouldn't be trace"
We had made up' the forms wrong
side foremost. 1t took Woods two
hours to shift the columns over into
proper position, and then he lifted out
an original article of mine ons"The
Mining Outlook" and wrote piece
about "A Newspaper Chump" that re-
fected on myself. 1t was a highly
humorous article and Woods claimed
that it would increase the circulation.

Tho Young Man Tried To he Funny, But
Failed Ignominiously.
young man who is now we'll estab-
lished in his profession told reporter a
story OF an experience he had when a
student in a Chicago medical college.
In this college there was an irascible
old janitor upon whom the young
medicos were always playing tricks.
In the basement of the college were
two ''pickeling vats," and one day the
boys decided that one of their mum Der
should slip down and conceal himself
between the tanks, and when the
janitor made his tour of that portion of
the building to appear before the old
man wrapped in sheet. In due course
of time the janitor put in an appear
ance, making his final round of in
spection of the building for the night.
AS the janitor approached the tanks
the young man came out from his hid
ing place and said in asepulchral voice,
II want to get out of here" The iani-
tor was unnerved for an instant only;
then, taking in the true situation, he
seized the student by the nape of the
neck and around the waist, and saying:
"You will not get out of here, go back
where you belong" lifted him up and
threw him bodily into one of the watts,
which contained several subjects. The
young man was extricated from his
horrible position by his companions,
who was close at hand to enjoy the
janitor's scare, but it was several weeks
before he could forget his experience
sufficiently to enjoy his meals. Wash
