greenest of green, with scarlet and gray
and deep blue, all mixed up on it in
flowers, leaves and shadows, is just
lovely for the debutante of to-day, even
though her grandma may watch her
coming-out clad in the same kind of
goods. 1t is rather cruel OF youth to
march into new fields this way, almost
sacrilegious for blonde hair to trot up to
gray hair and say: 'See how much pref
tier I look in your clothes than you
dol" That is just what the fashion of
to-day permits the modern chit to do,
and the pity is she does look much bet
ter in brocades, satins and velvets than
ever age can in anything. There really
ought to be q law against it. Why not
keep to your tulles and muslins, pretty
girls? Why not let grandma and her
brocades alone? Youth, which is love-
ly in anything. should be generous and
and not take everything.

would lie on the palm of the hand, and
would pass muster in any theater, for a

sugarloaf does not suit your style, make
the wee crown soft and flat of mere
puff of the velvet. By the way, the
lace that makes the brim should be
fulled slightly on silk matching or con-
trasting the crown, else, if the lace lies
all by itself on the hair, the whole thing
will suggest the breakfast cap too
strongly.
EXAGGERATIONs OF OBEDIENCE.
1t is really too bad that the present
STYLES permit the very low cut gowns of
years ago. Now we all know that no
women in the world were sweeter and
more womanly than our mothers
mothers, only the fashion is not a wom-
anly one. 1t is all matter of custom
and habit, that we all know, too, and
fashion says that is modest, and woman
accepts the standard without question.
Surely no one could have been more
womanlv, sweet and modest than the
woman l sketched while she was wait
ing in her own parlor for her husband.
Her soft brown hair was drawn straight
back from white forehead, and the
profile so exposed was pure and deli
cate. The shape of the head was beau
tiful, the poise OF it graceful in the best
meaning of grace. The whole attitude
of the woman meant refinement of life
and feeling. Her gown was soft hello
trope color. The skirt was quite plain,
the shoulders draped with deep falls OF
the same stuff embroidered at the edge;
and the arms almost to the line of the
EN- broidery were covered with gloves.
The bodice was plain, and the lines it
followed were graceful and beautiful,
but the neck was cut too low. Just a

JOss-hOuSeS in Frisco.

The oldest josshouse in San Francisco
is the temple of the Queen of Heaven,
on Waverly Street. 1t was erected over
forty years ago, and is the property of
the Sam zap Company. The goddess
worshiped at this temple was Chinese
young lady who lived hundreds of years
ago.
She was born in the Province of Fox
len and was the daughter of a merchant
of the Lum clan. In her girlhood she
is said to have displayed remarkable
intelligence, and was above all re-
nowned for her prophetic insight. Her
father and four brothers frequently left
their home on trading voyages up and
down the coast.
One day while two of her brothers
were at sea she fell into trance. Her
parents thought her dead and their
lamentations were so loud as to awake
her. She told how she had just been in
the midst of a violent typhoon and had
seen her brothers tossing about on the
Wild waves.
A few days elapsed and the youngest
son returned home, reporting the loss
of his brother at sea and telling how in
the height ofthe storm lady appeared
in mid heaven who let down rope and
towed the ship to safe anchorage. He
was just relating the sad news of his
brothers death when his sister came
into the room and congratulated him on
his escape.
She recounted with exactness the
events of that fearful night, and told
how she was just fastening to her
brothers. rescue when she was awak-
ened by her parents cries. Years
passed and another calamity befell the
family. This time the father was
drowned at sea. The legend tells how
the devoted daughter, on hearing the
news, fastened to the seashore. She
called in vain for her fathers return.
Louder and louder became her walls of
sorrow, until, frantic with grief. she
threw herself into the water and was
drowned Californian.

CHICAGO TUG LICENSE ILLEGAL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-The
United States supreme court to-day re-

The amount involved is only $500, but
the principle is Important. It concerns

A, B, G. OF FASHION.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR A BONNET.


The hat pictured is of pale gray-bl
felt, and the brim is lined with a band
of black velvet. 1t has a full velvet
crown, and a bunch of black feathers.
Fur is being more and more used for
hats and bonnets, and velvet is almost
indispensable. Jet sequins, either used
singly or fashioned into Mephisto
aigrettes, buckles of jet or crystal, and
small but handsome punches of ostrich
feathers, are very much worn. AS to
colors, rich shade of velvet is rapidly
deposing the magenta which has been
SO conspicuous during the winter. "A
shade of warm brown is much affected
by fair women which is between chest
nut and seal. Chartreuse appears on
many stylish bonnets, often happily
combined with the shade of violet L
have mentioned. ="
One of the prettiest substitutes for II
bonnet is a tiny circle of wire folded
over and over with gold bullion braid,
and with tuft bow of the bullion di-
rectly in front or at the side, as IS most
becoming. This sets snugly down on
smooth dark tresses, and outlines q
well-shaped head. It is by no means to
be lost in a maze of fuzzy bangs.
Another head-dress is a tiny corni-
copia-shaped crown, just a wee sugar
loaf hardly a finger high, and made in

little independence in the matter is
necessary. Adapt the fashions to your
own sense of what is most fitting. Much
that is beautiful is at our disposal IN
these old fashions that are coming into
vogue again. Let us take all Of that
and leave out the exaggerations and the
unpleasant things.
PUT FUR ON IT.
New uses are being found for fur al
most every day, and it figures both on
day and evening gowns, on tea-gowns,
and, needless to say, on outdoor wraps
Of every description. One border of
fur is often not considered sufficient for
skirts and capes, and the former have
sometimes as many as five rows, the
trimming reaching quite to the knees.
Bell skirts, which are very full at the
edge, and no longer form q straight,
compact line at the sides, are yet fur
Their increased in width by ruches and
bouillonees, the Empire bows are
placed at intervals above such trim
mings.
There is sketched above a peselis
of tomato-red cloth with beaver collar
and cuffs. The pelerIle is of cloth, also
edged with the beaver, which makes a
heading for the black lace tlounce. The
latter forms jabots at the back and in
front. There are black velvet bretelles
with shoulder knots. A tomato-red
felt hat, trimmed with black piumes,
completes the costume.
For outdoor wear, handsome borders
of feathers are used on cOlOred velvets

cape and skirt, with which is worn a
blouse Of shot or plaid silk, short to the
waist, and finished with a broad En-
pire band, either of the silk or velvet.
and long slide in repousse metal.
Faced cloth is much used for calling cos
tunes and is also fashionable for even
ing wear, trimmed with fur and passe-
menterie. Such gown in cream white
cloth, bordered with dark-brown fur
and with full sleeves of cream taille,
and little heart-shaped stomacher of
pearl and crystal passementerie, formed
lovely theater gown. 1t was accompa-
MED by little cape of cloth, edged
with the fur.
AGE AND YOUTH CLAD ALIKE.
Brocades are more and more in fash
ion. The heavier they are the better,
the more elaborate in design the more
elegant. The style is by no means con-
fined to the heavy and regal style of
woman. The delicacy of the slender
blonde seems never so delicate as when
set off by brocade that will stand alone
if she will let it. OF course the stuff
must be made up pretentiously, but that
has nothing to do with the girl who
wears it. The severe brocade, with its
square-cut neck edged about with a fall
of heavy old lace only makes youth
seem more young, and delicacy more
sweetly frail. This material may be
had in all colors. Sapphire velvet with
great flowers of white and old rose may
sound like dowager duchess, but the
girl of the picture wore dress Of such
material and was correctly attired. The

crease for profit.
With the Pelin ducks il is a mistake
to think that a pond of water is neces-
sary; they will get along very well
with what is needed to drink, and this
must always be supplied literally, and
be pure and fresh. But geese need
plenty of water. SO far as possible
the better plan is to give them the run
of a good pasture, penning up at
night. This is especially necessary
with the ducks after they commence
laying, or a good portion of the eggs
will be lost, as they drop them almost
anywhere, and it is only by keeping
them penned up at night that they can
be secured. 1t is not best to confine
them with other fowls have separate
apartment and see that bedding is
supplied so that they can be kept
clean and comfortable. While they
like to swim and play n water, it is
very important to their health to have
the place dry where they rest at night.
