Caps AND Aprons.
The English matrons, Of every age and

little breakfast caps. not a regular cap, you
know, but just a bit of lace with two or
three coquettish loops of ribbon. They are
invariably becoming. and give touch of
dignity and dainty elaboration which is
very charming.

The Fashionable Watch.

It is hard to recognize the fashionable
watch these days. Fashion has most success
fully obscured its identity. Watches are hid
den beneath enameled blossoms or they ap-
pear as glistening jeweled balls. The latest
design for chatelaine watch looks more like
a dusky pansy than timepiece. The flower
is exquisitelY enameled, and is fastened to
the gown beneath a green STEM The pansy
forms the case Of the watch. Another novelty
shows tiny watch ticking away in the heart
of pink enamel rose. Gold cases are quite
out of date for the watch of fashion. Dark
blue enamel forms a favorite case, with a
crescent of diamonds clustering from its
center. Watches encased in pale blue enamel
are another novelty. A very costly watch
looks like q round ball of pearls, but at the
bottom of the ball the face of the watch is

FEELING AMONG FLORISTS.
Considerable Indignation Over the At.
tempt to Get Up Flower Show This
Season by an Outside Party.

IOnSH1eraD!e lnolgnatlOn OFeT tne AT
tempt to Get Up Flower Show This
Season by an Outside Party.
Storm signals are hoisted over the fragrant
headquarters of the Washington Florists
Club, and. in the language of the Ancient
Mariner, "a stiff breeze is a-brewin'." The
cause of this trouble centers in the efforts Of
a gentleman. who is not actively enga ged in
the floral busidess, to get up a flower show
this month in the Washington Light Infantry
Armory.
The person in question, it appears, has
canvassed nearly all the leading florists and
urged them to go into the exhibition, but
large majority OF them, it is said. have de-
clined to do so in obedience to action taken
at a recent meeting OF the Florists Club. At
the meeting in question IL was decided not TO
give flower exhibition this year. owing to
the fact that the club lost over 81, 500 on last
years show at the National Rifles Armory.
II was thought best. therefore, to allow one
season to pass without giving the usual
annual exhibition.
The protector of the proposed exhibition
next week, some of the florists say, took ad-
vantage of this action of the organization to
arrange for show on his own hook and in
duce the flower men TO so into it by Offering
list OF prizes for the best displays of flowers
ing from SO to SIS.
Mr. A. GUIDE, an officer of the Florists
Club. was seen by TIMES reporter last night
in reference to the matter he said:
"Our club has decided not to give an ex-
hibition this year, and for one will not go
into the proposed affair. The club comprises
all the leading florists in Washington, and
Just how an exhibition can be given success
fully without its cooperation is beyond my
comprehension. If any person does get up a
flower show and in any way uses the name OF
our club in connection with il, unless the
club as a body agree TO go into the affair, then
there may be trouble. OF course we cannot
prevent an individual or company from CIV
ing any sort of an exhibition he or they may
choose, but for self-protection we will decline
| to allow our club title or firm names to be
used in connection with it. The young man
vino is getting up the affair tcld me that he
intended to give the show even If he had to
buy the flowers or go out into the woods and
procure decorations. etc.
The reporter also called upon Mr.. J. n.
Small. the florist at Fourteenth and G streets
northwest. and asked him about the affair.
! He said he had not heard Of it, nor would he
! 60 into the arrangement. A friend of the
! protector of the enterprise said he had the
promise OF four prominent florists who would
make displays at the proposed show.

none of the following gentlemen engaged in

Heavily Fined for Violating the Excise
Laws-Pardon Did Not Purge Him.
John Shea, the notorious Maryland avenue
illicit vendor of whisky, was sentenced to
serve four months in the workhouse and pay
fine of $500, or six months additional in de-
fault of payment. This was Shea's third ap-
pearance in court for the offense since the
new law was passed, not quite two years ago.
A persistent effort was made by counsel for
Shea to secure a light sentence before the
Judge announced his decision. They attacked
the testimony of Eugene Mercer, the principal
witness as not worthy of credence, and pro-
duced afiidavits to the effect that he was him
self a sort of walking "speak-easy."
Judge Miller remarked that 1t would be a
good thing if Congress should enact law
giving Judge the right to exclude the testi-
mony of witnesses of q certain character, and
spoke about the great amount Of perjury COM
mitted in the police court, but refused to grant
a new trial, as had been desired by the de-
fense
1t was also urged that Shea had been purged
Of his former sins by the pardon once granted
by the President, and that his record could
not be used against him in sentencing, but the
claim was not allowed.

Big Rings for Women.

The latest fashionable freak among women
who are blessed with pretty hands is to wear
an immense ring, like a Roman Catholic
bishops. on the first finger of the right hand.
It used to be considered the height of vulgar
ity TO place ring on the index finger, but
now this decoration is the dernier cri. The
ring must be a superb one and must not par
take of the slender and graceful daintiness of
the ''1Iarquise'' circle. It must be solid, big,
and respectfully ecclesiastic in its appearance.
The feminine mind, always desirous of pre-
senting contrasted effects to poor humanity,
sees the delicately sarcastic anomaly of a
little white, frivolous-looking hand wearing a
big. aggressively solid sort of ring.-Manu-

Nurse Girls.

1t is an indisputable fact that children con-
tract many diseases from nurse girls, whose
home habits and pedigree are such that they
are absolutely untitled to mingle with chill
dren of any age or condition. 1t might not
be bad idea if the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children would use its endeav-
ors to get laws passed requiring nurse girls
who apply for places to take care OF children
to have acertifcate from physician showing
that they are 1lt to take charge OF them. The
blindness of many persons to the welfare OF
their little ones in this particular might fur
nish the subject for many a homily, and the
agitation of the matter certainly ought to
bring about salutary results.

Equality of Sex.

1t is natural for women to resent the i'm
putation that the feminine mind is not SO
strong as the masculine and this spirit of in
dependence was early manifested in a school
girl living in a MASSACHUSETTS town. She had,
too often perhaps. been made to acknowl-
edge the superiority of her brothers.
One day her mother remarked upon the ap-
parently utter lack of intelligence in hen.
''You can'tteach hen anything" she said.

drove of cattle would. You can teach q cat,
