How Things Change.

The writer spent pleasant hour,
long ago, with genial Maine gentIem

set back by his pointed question, "W,

this involved question Of futurity,

like me-and all those who formerly
seemed old, are apparently just abou
my age. There are no old folks now al

want to know is, what has become o

maker will not accomplish that. AS for
the waist, 1t IS really nothing; Just a
back, which may be sort of scarf laid
over a lining, q front that is all drapery,
lace hanging gracefully, bow or so Of
ribbon and the thing is done.
Two sisters can help each other
a great deal by wearing gowns that
suit each other, and by posing about
harmoniously, making pictures of them
too. | have sketched pair of girls
who owe half their invitations to the
fact that they make a point of posing
IN corners and looking sweet and inter
estlng. They devote themselves so
much to this that they are not at all
particular about getting the usual at
tentlon girls expect, and hostesses real
lie how decorative they are and useful,
too, IN q way. OF course, girls who go
IN for this kind of thing should set each
other OFT. One might be, for instance,
a vivid red blonde, and the other dull
ashes blonde. One ought to be either
distinctly prettier than the other, or
one should be quite another type from
the other. know one pair who have
regular, compact: the pretty one at
tracts admirers to their corner, and,
once they are there, the plain sister has
exclusive right to do the entertaining.
1t works beautifully for both, because
the. pretty one has not very many
brains and the plain one-well, she is
plain.

our gown need not be short wasted
but to be just right if it is not short at
the waist it must be all soft straight
lines from the shoulders to the waist.
There must be some kind o. bertha
effect of lace, embroidery, or ruff1es
that Grapes the shoulders and follows
somewhat the line of the top of the
bodice. Of course, this style is not a
hardship. 1t presents very effective
and easy way of renovating an old waist
into modern prettiness. Lace is not
expensive these days, or, at least We
are not so exactlng as we used to be,
the beauty of machine-made laces hav-
ing converted most of US to the new
effects. AS for cOlors, you need not be
a bit afraid of people thinking you have
put odds and ends together, no mat
ter how you mix up colors. For
instance, the dress of the picture
is all mauve satin but the belt
and the train. The bodice is quite hid
den by deep bertha of lace. You may
use lace as fine as you have, and as rich
and as old, or you may use a pretty
modern lace. If you have enough, put
ruff1e of it around the front Of the
skirt. The train OF the dress is of vel
vet, in that lovely shade of red that has
lately rivaled the flowers, and it is lined
with mauve satin. A broad belt of the
same shows below the lower edge of the
lace on the bodice. The mauve of the
bodice merely betrays itself in tint
through the meshes of the lace, and in
a little point in the front where the
bertha dips towards the belt in its slant
from the shoulders. Mauve and petu-
MIA together Is queer combination to

Where Cruikshank Got HIS Face.

There is an interesting story, very
little known, of how Cruikshank con
ceived his picture of Fagin the Jew
During the time he was illustratin
oliver Twist" he spent days traversin
the east end of London in search of
face that would correspond with b.
conception of the character. One day
while standing before a mirror in b
dining-room pulling faces at himself,
so to speak, for the want of somethir
better to do, he accidentally made tt
features for which he was looking. TT
picture, therefore, of Fagln is real
that of Cruikshank himself.

CALL FOR WAR SHIPS.
England Demanding Reparation from
Guatemala

Guatemala.
PANAMA, Jan. PA dispatch from
Guatemala says that mob attacked the
British legation and had beat Minister
Gosling's oldest son so severely that he
may die. Minister Gosling's youngest
son shot one of the mod dead. The
British warship Melpomene is at San
Jose, and her commander has cabled for
the Warspite and the Nymphe to come
md assist him in blockading the port, so
that reparation may be obtained with
out the bombardment of the port.
President Barrios is said to have refused
so far to grant the British demand for
reparation. He protests that he is pow
erless to do SO, as any attempt on his
part to atone for the ortrages would
cause an Indian uprising if not gener-
al revolution. He begged the British
minister and commander to wait until
popular feeling had subsidized before
thew acted.

This picture is a sketch of a love-
ly Empire costume of cloth designed
for young woman. The materials are
lavender cloth and velvet Of the same
color, but a shade or two darker. The
short jacket is of cream-coIored guipure
lace on silk lining, and trimmed with a
narrow band of fur. If worn as an
outdoor dress, the lining is cut in prin-
cess shape, but if for indoors, the skirt
can be made separately and hooked
under the tight-ftting jacket. In the
latter case it should be without fur or
feather trimming. The back can either
be one straight piece and have the
pleats IN the skirt, or Vatican pleat,
tightly adjusted to the jacket, may fall
from the neck band and be trimmed
with fur, the front necessarily cor
responding to the back in form and
trimming. The under skirt should
be tight fitting and be cut in
the same shape as the overskirt II
worn in the house the sides must fall
without seams and show the silk under
skirt, which should be of the same color
and provided with a flounce of the same
material. If the dress is meant for the
street or carriage, the sides must be
sewed together, and the back united by
pleat at the belt, and an invisible
loop. The Vatican pleat is arranged
with hooks and eyes at the neck band.
If it is house dress, it may also hook
up in front. The front of the skirt is
somewhat bias towards the belt, and
the same at the back. The width of the
skirt is about four yards. The sleeves
have tight fitting lining, with draped
upper material, which is gathered at
the inside seams. The standing collar
is trimmed with fur.

This illustration shows a princess
evening gown of salmon pink satin and
pale blue velvet, over which hangs an
entirely loose robe Of ecru lace, which
is edged at the foot and around the
neck and sleeves with a narrow band of
velvet and gold braid. The short waist
ed effect of the loose over-dress is pro-
duced by gathering it upon band Of
the velvet. But there are more ways
than one of attaining the short-waisted
effect. l saw a girl recently whose
surplice bodice was belted in by close
fitting velvet belt. I mean that it APP
parently was. This belt extended from
under the arms to we'll over the hips.
The skirt was made princess on this. It
came up on the sides almost to the top
edge OF the belt, and then scalloped
away to a point low down in front. The
irregular edge of the top of the skirt
was finished off by handsome needle
work in a vine pattern. The belt was
deep emerald green velvet, the rest the
palest yellow crepe. The embroidery
flashed with amber and emerald bead
ing, and the same sort of work finished
the edge Of the crepe where at the bot
tom of the skirt it set irregularly over
band of emerald velvet. The velvet
made the lower edge of the skirt. The
girl was q corn-hoss blonde, with very
blue eyes it is emerald green, and if
anything will give to corn-foss hair its
full value it is pale yellow. Asyou may
fancy, the girl was lovely. Like the girl
of the picture it would have been a pity
to have hidden her tiny round waist by
any but much modified "shOrt waist"
effect.

great Importance came up in the United
States circuit court this morning. The
suit is In the nature of an injunction
proceeding, brought by w. L. Brown,

brought virtually to demand an account
ing IN the affairs Of the railroad COM
pany. Two million five hundred thou
sand dollars face value of stock
in the railroad company has been is-
sued, whereas the plaintiff claims that
the actual cost of construction of the
road was not over $580,000. In addition
to compelling an accounting, if the in
junction is made permanent, it will de-
feat the aim to raise money to complete
the construction of the road.

These are the days for the women
with pretty necks, especially if they are
pretty at the back The pointed gown,
the soft ruff1e around the edge, the hair
drawn, up, all give most graceful effect
II there is any beauty at all. For that
matter, women are apt to forget the
charm of the back view of their sweet
selves. She IS wise woman who, in
stead of standing ready and expectant
to meet him, sits down in a low chair in
front of the fire and pretends she
doesn't know he is coming at just that
particular minute. GU see, when the
eyes have met there is little else to do.
1t is all over to great extent. Why not
prolong the effect? Give him chance
to see you a moment when he fancies
you do not know he is there. Let him
note the glow of the freight in your
hair; let him take in the grace Of your
sweeping gown; the thoughtful bend Of
your head; give him a chance to come
up behind you and say the word that
that shall turn your face to his, and put
all the gladness Of your smile and voice
and welcome in his sight 1t is good
deal better SO, is it not? You will avoid
the strange aWkwardness that mars the
JOY Of 80 many first meetings after long
absence, an aWkWardness in which you
each feel that you should be more hap
Ply than you are, and show more hap
piness. The style of gown Of to-day's
fashions is Just the thing for this. High
collars and exaggerated head-dresses
were little out Of line, but now that all
Is so simple and graceful it will be as
we'll to remember "back effects" are
legitimate part of your repertoire Of
charms.
