The favorite shopping bag for both
young and elderly women who like some
receptacle for handkerchief, memoranda
and the trifes accumulated in shopping
is one of rich black brocade or heavy
corded silk. lined and drawn up on a
shirrstring. Often such bags of black
satin are entirely covered by a second
bag made from joining many brass rings
that have first been covered with black
twist in double crochet stitch. Some
times a band or wide border of these
rings joined together covers the upper
part of the bag only. Out of this style
of decoration has grown one of the dec
orative novelties of the day, which is
very popular in Europe, and which is
just coming into use here. 1t consists Of
cardboard molds that are slightly raised,
covered with silk or linen thread in a
simple crochet stitch.
The molds come in the shape of cir
Giles. ovals. squares and hearts in leaf
and in conventionalized flower form.
Often the crochet work is made more
elaborate by edging each form with a
puzzled border, like the lacy loops seen in
tatting. The centers of the forms may
be filled out with crocheted chain OF
stitches, or with fancy embroidery and
lace stitches done in silk or in gold
thread.-St. Louis Republic.

TAl ouegN,s DRAWING aooN.
A Trying Ordeal That Was Something riss
"A FootbalI Scrlnmn


The first drawing room was q very
large one, but there was exceedingly lit
tie beauty among the company. Tie
dresses and jewels were magnificent. Tho
queen was tolerably punctual in enter
ing the throneroom, and Lady Spencer
az once commenced the function by pre-
senting the females of the diplomatic
corps, after which Sir Christopher Tees
dale brought up the ''males." One Of
TIE foreign ministers wore blue uni
form entirely covered with gold en-
broidery, with numerous orders and
huge gold key fastened on TO the back Of
his coat. The queen then sat down on
her state chair and proceeded to receive
the entree people. who were headed by
some members Of the government. who
wore the privy councillors uniform.
There was a great crowd of entrec
company, as an exceptionally large num-
Der of special permissions had been grant
ed by the queen, but her majesty staid
ON for few minutes after the general
presentations had commenced and then
retired, when her place was taken by
Princess Christian, next to whom was
the Prince of Wales. and then the Dukes
Of York and Edinburgh
The crushing and crowding at the va
rious barriers were worse than ever. and
there were some violent alterations and
furious appeals to the bewildered off
Gals. Several ladies had their trains
dashed from their arms, with the result
that they came in with the train extend
ing in front for some yards, and two or
three narrowly escaped awkward falls.
Others had their bouquets utterly de-
stroyed, and many entered the throne
room with disheveled heads. torn wells
broken feathers and crushed sleeves.
Some ladiesindeed presented as lamen-
table an appearance as if they had been
engaged in free fight Two had most
palpable bruises on their arms, and an
other complained, with pardonable acri-
mony. that she had received severe
blow on her neck from the cooked hat of
''some savage" who had attempted to
push past her The saloons in which the
company waited were dreadfully cold, for
the fires, which had apparently been
lighted just at the last moment, were
neither numerous nor large. and it is diff
ficult to understand why, in such in
element weather, there should be such
rigorous economy at the palace in regard
to wood and coal.-London Truth.

The Founding of sorosis.

Mrs. Croly gave an account of the
founding of Sorosis 25 years ago at a
conference of women held lately in Viii
mington, Del, to celebrate the entrance
of the new Century club into its beauti-
full home, building planned by women,
owned by women and supervised by a
committee of women. Referring to the
ridicule which Sorosis excited at that
time she quoted an editorial which said
among other sharp things that 'if these
women managed to hold together for six
months without quarreling all men
would have to entirely reconstruct their
IDEAS of women. Brooklyn Eagle.

EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE
Three Men and Two Women
Killed--Buildings
Wrecked.

PITTsBURa, March 23, 94-The dynamite
works of the Acme Powder Company at
Beck's Run, IA miles above Pittsburg on the
Allegheny Valley Railroad, blew up at ten
minutes past seven this morning, killing
three men and two women and badly wreck
ing houses and other buildings in Acmetonia,
directly across the river; at Hutton, two
miles south, and at Johnston station, a short
distance east. Details of the explosion and
the cause thereof are at this writing not
obtainable.
The women killed were:-Mrs. William
Arthurs, employed in making shells; Miss
Sadie Ramley niece of Mrs. Arthurs, also
employed as shell maker. Seven men were
employed in the works, but only three had
gone to work Who the three were is not
yet known. The names of the seven are
James Mooney, Superintendent; s. Bradley,
K. Fensel, John Irwin, John Schwartz, -
Bobins, William Arthurs and George irwin.
At the time of the explosion there was
stored ia the works five tons of dynamite,
consignment ready for shipment today.
The works has capacity of 10000 pounds
per day.
The bodies of the victims were terribly
mutilated. The explosion created the Wild
est kind of excitement in the Allegheny Val
ley, above and below Beck's Kun, at the
mouth of which the works were located.
At Acmetonia, Hutton, Oakmont, Varona,
Johnston, Kensington, Tarentum and other
towns within radius of several miles there
was great excitement. Nearly every win
dow in Acmetonia, Springdae and Hutton
was shattered, while a few of the houses
were considerably damaged.
The works of the Acme Powder Company
were wiped completely out of existence.
The clerks in the company's offices in Pitts
burg could give no estimate of the loss to the
company
