1T was his wife's voice, but modified and

travelling bag in her hand.

She had slowly descended the steps to the
patio. looking handsomer than he had ever
seen her, and as if sustained and upheld by
the enthusiasm of her cause. Her hand was
outstretched toward his. his heart beat ylo-

Suddenly she stopped, her outstretched
arm stifened. her finger pointed to the chair

PARIS, Dec. s, 1s94.-'Hats have grown
wide to preserve the unities, said oracularly
Mons. earlier, the well-known modiste of
the Avenue de rOpera ''The movement was
inevitable to keep pace with the sleeves.
Measured by past seasons to-day's hats you
may see are enormous, but set over to-day's
gowns they are perfect and they are moderate.
All is by comparison. Do I make myself
clear?''
1t was pretty illustration Of how dress, as
well as pictures, follow the laws of art. If
one part of the composition, as the sleeve top,
reaches out beyond the old outline, straight
way new outline must be imagined, and this
new imaginary outline must be touched from
point to point by other members reaching
out, as the skirt edge, the hair, the hat. to
form to the eye an agreeable continuity. The

beauty is his end.

SHE WON THE BET.

Camilla Wahlburg Made Her Horse Jump
the Dining Table.
The latest sensation of the day in Paris is
the result of novel bet made between two
leading lights OF the fashionable jockey club
in that city. 1t came about in this way: Dur
ing dinner given in honor of the winner of
grand autumn races the guests began to tell
stories of fine horsemanship. An elderly Of
flcer present said that he thought the young
men OF this generation did not ride so we'll as
they did in the good old days. This led TO
an animated dispute. which ended by Max
Lebaudy Offering to bet that he knew a lady
rider that could do anything with a horse
that any man of this or any generation had
done.
The old officer accepted the bet, stipulat-
ing that the lady should ride her horse into
the banquet hall and take flying leap over
the table without disturbing or touching the
wine bottles, flowers. or anything else on the
table. Nobody dreamed that the bet would
be accepted.
1t was DONE however. and next evening
when the same party was gathered around
the festive board the event took place. The
world-famous equestrienne, Camilla Won
Wahlburg, mounted on her fayorite full
blooded Arabian horse and attired in the
regular riding habit. suddenly appeared in
the door of the dining-room. With CHEEKY
"Good evening gentlemen" she gave the
spur to her animal, and, before tho thor
oughly surprised and amazed diners had
time to collect their thoughts, she had been
carried over the table in the most graceful
and approved fashion by her spirited horse.
Not even the filed wine glasses were Jared

FUR NOVELTIES.
The fur season started in, as usual, with a
variety Of new furs, each Of which by rumor
would become the vogue. but each Of which

the orthodox Jacket: sable remains the most
beautiful fur for trimming, and only the
white furs mentioned have Deen found to ade-
quately grace beauty at night.
FUR FIGAROs.
Likewise French women start in the-sea-
son with an attempt at jackets. but after a few
tentatives, the jacket disappears; the furriers
make them but nobody wears them. French
women do not Ike jackets, which have too
much a look of utility; French style does not
assinilare them This season the skirt of the
jacket was very quickly bOobed OF short at

FUR TRIMMINGS.

Quantities OF small animal skins entire ara
used for trimmings. Apparently the slaughteG
of beasts to furnish forth the gown rivals than
of birds TO decorate the hat, but it is sx-
planned that these fnnumerable little animals
are manufactured, so far toward creation
have the furriers gone. Certain gowns look
like the walls OF q trapper's lodge after the
days hunt; heads and tails follow each other
in procession around the skirt, are knotted
up into rosettes and occupy every point avail
able for an ornament. For boa one beast
does not suffice, two are fastened together,
the tails hanging down the back and this
heads crossed in front Butthese things pass
the boundaries of taste and are only men-
toned to show the blow of the wind.
The skirt has the front breadth trimmed
round entablier with fur and band Of che,
nile passementeris, and is buttoned from the
belt down on each side with three iridescent
smoked pearl buttons. A triangular plait oil
the velvet is set in between the front and sidg
cores. The back breadth is bordered round
and up the sides like the front High-necked
bodice of the cloth slightly bouffant in front
over a velvet belt. The neck rounds up to-
ward the shoulders and is caught with head
of a little beast that forms strap over tha
shoulder. A tippet round the neck furnishes
a third head. and the muf is ornamented
with heads and tails. ADA CoNE.

Tho pilgrimages to the shrine Of st.

are in full blast and thousands are to
be found there every day. A few days
ago large delegation from Norris

those were Katc Sweeney, who Is 22
years old, and who for a long time has
suffered severely from spinal disease
and paralysis OF the legs. She was
carried from the train into the church,
and no sooner had she communicated

than she felt her natural strength re-

church without assistance. Last week
Mrs. Diogene Guirmont. of Cap st.

February and incapable OF walking,
was assisted to the foot of the statue Of
St Anne. There she remained for q

raising herself painfully upon her
crutches, she approached the altar
railing and reverently kissed the lelic

The measure provides that no alien
