Mugs on Mugs.

The Princess Of Wales has the por-
traits of her family and near relatives
photographed upon cups and saucers of
the most delicate china. The photo
gravure is done in dull brown. This
royal fancy has become the fashion, and
portraits look out from all china milk
jugs, cups, teapots. etc. ApropOs of
this fad was the gift of several young
ladies to a popular society man, an
amateur artist. He has sumptuous
studio in London, where he entertains
his friends at an afternoon tea. Some
ladies he had entertained determined
to make him a gift, unique and valuable.
Each one had her picture portrayed in
the bottom Of a delicate china cup,
which she presented to the artist
EUeni1g World.

There isn't much warmth in the new
double capes, even though they are
made of velvet and lined. The under
cape covers the hands, but it stands
straight out from the shoulders all
around at just about the angle the skirt
below takes, and cool winds have plenty
of chance at the wearer's arms and
waist. The upper cape is only half as
long as the longer one, and it stands out
from the collar at an angle that lets the
wind get well between the two. The
happy woman might as well have on no
wraps at all. | say happy advisedly,
because, of course, she is happy even if
she is cold. Isn't her cape just the
right cut?
At the right in the accompanying
picture you'll see sensible and pretty
cut of Russian green velvet. 1t has
box pleat both in front and behind.
If desired there can be a pointed yoke
behind, or the pleat can commence at
the neck. It is lined with shot velvet
or with a light-colored brocade and
fastens in front with buttons which are
concealed by the box pleat The shawl
collar and revers are of black velvet and
the trimming consists of bands of
ribbed velvet, forming two large loops
on either side, While third end passes
under the arms and disappears under
the box pleat. The trimming is fastened
with a buckle of oxidized silver or cut
steel over the bust, two long ends fin
ished with jet ornaments falling almost
to the bottom.
The other figure wears a beautiful
princess costume of yellowish tan cloth
with separate jacket of brown passe-
menterie The hat worn is of brown
and tan straw, trimmed with brown
velvet ribbon

The Provost Was An CRY.

Our minister was learned and warm
hearted but somewhat cratic and alb
sent-minded. He had a pony that had
a great aversion to donkeys and it was
with the greatest difficulty that it could
be got to pass one of those animals on
the road.
One day when riding to Forfar he met
near Quilkie an itinerant earthenware
merchant whose stock in trade was
drawn by a donkey. The pony reared
and backed and was only got past after
a great struggle. The minister, at the
turn of the road a little further on and
before his mind was quite composed,
met the provost of FOrfar.
ga fine day, provost" said the min
lister.
eyes, fine day, Mr.. Allen" replied
the provost.
''Do you think, provost, I'm likely to
meet any more assessor this road ?"
The provost used strong language in
reply, though there was no cause for it.

The waist of the little girls dress in
the illustration is loose and is gathered
into d neck band. 1t fastens behind
and both front and back are alike. a
velvet belt is seWed into the side and
shoulder seams The ends are gath
cred and close with hooks and eyes,
aeaying plastron-like opening in front
The sleeves are very full and have an
,epaulette arrangement of the dress ma
fterial The collar is Of velvet. The
mother wears a breakfast gown of en-
erald green cashmere lined throughout
with satin The front and back of the
model are cut full, the back forming a
Vatican pleat, while the front is con-
fined by a ribbon belt. The jacket is
made of wide lace seWed together at
the edges and pointed toward the bot
tom. 1t covers the shoulders and al
most meets in back and front near the
neck, but then gradually falls away.
The collar is band Of darker green
velvet ribbon and the ribbon also trims
the Jacket and sleeves. The latter have
a tight cuff from the wrist to the elbow
and from there form two full puffs.
The wrists are finished with frill of
white lace.
The newest gowns show trimmings
around the edges of the skirt, which
turns up instead Of down. Knots OF
ribbon, for instance, are made with ends
up. Even ruffles are put on, as it were,
upside down. OF course, this means
that they must be lined, and that is the
reason Of it, for the lining contrasts III

One girl | know has a marvel Of bon
net. 1t is a bit of lace in a butterfly
knot, & CLEAN of a Jewel, and a distract
ing fringe of tiny flowers, so delicately
woven that they seem to be strung upon
the cleaning threads of her bright hair
The whole is held on by fillett like
band under the knot of hair at the back,
and is the sort of thing that simply must
have come from Paris. So much was
said about it by bevy of her friends
one day, that finally she remarked that
if the lot of them would 90 home with
her she would give them a chance to see
the thing off, SO they could get some
sort of pattern if possible. So home the
delighted crew went with her, and she
began to take off the hat. Il always
hate to-" she murmured, as she re-
moved the Jewel and stuck it on her
pincushiOn. They began to gasp. She
took off the knot of lace, united it and
smoothed it out. ''These old-fashioned
lace tippets are such useful things,
she remarked. Then she began pulling
out odd lots of tiny flowers from here
and there, and then she announced,
%'Well, it's off !"
OF course the fillet remained, but that
was evidently part of her hair dress
ing and had nothing to do with the bon
net. In fact, nothing had anything to
do with the bonnet. 1t was just tag
ends fastened on to look like one But,
then. some women are that way. The
world is very likely to call them useless
women and blame them because they
cannot make their own clothes and darn
stockings, but if it comes to that, it costs
much less to get plain sewing done,
than 1t does to create a French hat
right out of nothing on your head, q
bonnet that you could not buy for $50.
1t is needless to say that the girls didn't
feel that they had been taught the pat
tern.
Not all Of Us can originate such de-
vice; indeed, great many women can
met make their own hats, or care to,
TO paraphrase the foN's remarks about
the grapes, but the one pictured is not
difficult. A frame should be covered
with velvet, changing from blue to yell
low, and the crown trimmed with mar
row rows Of velvet from top to bottom.
AT the left side an Alsatian bow with
four loops should be placed, from which
start a bow Of orange satin ribbon, and
an aigrette.

Here is visiting dress of black Indi-
an foulard. The skirt is not lined and
requires from ten to eleven breadths.
None of the seams are bias. 1t is gath
cred to the waistband and then
sewed once more in very tiny pleats,
falling thus to the bottom of the skirt
The bottom of the skirt may be trimmed
with band of Persian embroidery, or
with a black ribbon embroidered with
silver. The same ribbon, but much
wider, is used for the belt The latter
closes at the left side with a bow and
has at the right side pendant bag of
black velvet embroidered like the belt
and finished with jet fringe. The fou-
lard is draped with blouse-like effect
over tight lining, hooks in back, and
hangs a little over the belt all the way
around. The lace yoke can have plain
or gathered foundation. The sleeves
are full puff of the whole breadth of
the foulard, from elbow to shoulder,
and the tight cuff is covered with lace
like the yoke. The lace also forms an
epaulette. On the inner seam, immedi-
ately above the cuff, the sleeve is laid in
few pleats. This model is particularly
suitable for tall, slender figures, and re-
quires from twenty to twenty-three
yards of fOulard
Many gowns with the new skirt show
a wide band of green velvet about the
edge of the skirt, the velvet finished at
each edge with fur. Green seems to be
accepted as good taste on any color.
Think of it A very favorite combina-
ton is distinct and clear sapphire blue
cloth, with green velvet band for the
adornment of the skirt. Even ready
made flannel gowns show green flannel
for belt, cuffs and collar, and about the
skirt.

the lining shows well. Bows set at
short distances apart around skirt,
just above the edge, are woven together
by a continuous band Of ribbon of
another color that winds in and out
from bow to bow. All sorts of vagaries
in the way of festooning and quilting
and binding ornament the foot of skirts.
Fur is being used a great deal, even
though spring is with us.

NORTHRUP BROS.

The Moran Herald tells about q
man near Moran who had negotiated
a loan of S1400 on a certain farm near
that town at Z per cent. Before the
papers got through the new law went
into effect, and the loan company
went back on its first agreement and
would only let the man have S1lOC
and charged him per cent. The
facts seem to be bearing out the Opin-
ion the REGISTER expressed when
the law was passed.
The REGISTER regrets very much
to part with Miss NJ. Barnett, our
Prairie Dell correspondent, who an
nounces that this weeks letter must
be her last. Beginning when a very
little girl Miss Barnett has been one
of our most regular and valued cor
respondents, sending in letters that
were clean, newsy and well written.
The REGISTER thanks her, and as
suTes her of its best wishes.
