up, this side crossed over double-breast-

faced with gray. When worn open this
double-breasted front hung free, the
other side of the black was one with the
red, being cut away at the hip a little.
Two rich ornaments of steel and gold
hung from the belt upon the skirt to
either side Of the front. The combina-
ton of colors was beautiful, and the
general result of the odd half jacket

figure.

jacket made of the same material as the
skirt which it accompanies, which Is

fitting back and front and fastens with
hooks and eyes, which are covered by

medici collar is embroidered with black
jet and finished with piping of the
moss trimming, and the sleeves are
large and full, with epaulettes of cream
guipure lace. Two straps of the EN-
brOidered jet hang from each shoulder.

An Insult TO the Uniform.

1t Is not safe to be rude in Russia.
In one of the principal streets of st.
Petersburg is a large fruit shop, be-
longing to very wealthy merchant,
who, beside selling fruit, keeps an ele-
giant restaurant In the same building,
and occupying position directly be-
hind the shop. Two young officers Of
the guard not long ago entered and had
lunch together, and after paying their
bill both went out. They had, however,
only proceeded short distance when
one Of them missed his pocket-boOk,
and, thinking that he might have left
it in the restaurant where he and his
friend had lunched, returned and ask
ed politely IL any one had seen It. The
proprietor himself, millionaire, came
on the scene, and, after giving express
sion to some Objectionable remarks,
said that 1t might well be doubted
whether the young officer possessed
such an article as a pocketbook. The
officer complained to the police, and
ultimately the matter reached the Pre-
feet, who, deciding that the imperial
uniform had been insulted, caused the
restaurant to be at once locked up,
the doors sealed, and prohibited the
proprietor from longer catering to the
public taste.

play of shoulders and neck. Now there
has been devised dress that leaves
the shoulder bare from neck to wrist.
In 1t band Of ribbon clasps the throat,
from which two delicate chains thread
ed. with pearl or gold extend on each
side and are attached to the top Of the
bodice on either side of the shoulder.
With this done to bodice supplied with
the usual puff sleeve, and the chains
being secured, the pun sleeve Is reck-
lessly slit from top to lower edge, so
that 1t falls quite away from the arm
and the shoulder. The drapery takes
pretty folds as 1t drops at each side Of
the shoulder. At little distance the
chains do not show and what keeps the
bodice from falling Off is a puzzle.
The whole list of Off shoulder bodices
has demanded handsome shoulders Of
the wearers, but many an ambitious
woman to whose makeup the fashion
was poorly adapted has boldly attempt
ed 1t, and this latest trick ID no doubt
devised by some one whose lines are
almost perfect and who Is anxious to
prove 1t openly. Such exaggerative
treatment Of an accepted style by wom-
en- whose taste Is generally good is a
sure forerunner Of general change.
So, almost simultaneously with the APP
pearance of this eccentricity, designers
are carefully feeling their way to a
shift in evening dress that will hide
the shoulders altogether. One of these
designs Is shown In the first picture In

Rub the hands with stick of celery

Chamois leather, after being used,

One of the strangest rigs that ever
appeared on Brooklyn highway drove
up to the entrance Of Prospect Park
one day during the winter when the
sleighing was good. 1t consisted Of a
tiny sledge, built Russian fashion with
low runners and high front.
In it sat boy about Il years of age
and little girl about 10. Both were
dressed in the height of fashion for
such youngsters, and were mufiied up
and kept warm by the most gorgeous
of fur robes. 1t was their team, how
ever, which attracted attention.

The Horrible Maxim Gun.

Maxim guns were used aboard the
ironclads during the recent naval ma
neuvers. A correspondent describes
their use as follows: 1.-The storm Of
bullets from them cut the water like
rain on the advancing edge of tropi-
cal squall. With one Of these guns a
gunner Of very moderate skill can, at
500 yards range, cut down an ordinary
park paling almost as well rs n work.

Yards and yards of material go into
the new reception skirts. The pleated
folds lie heavily one upon the other ut

much grace, still the spectacle of sew
eral layers Of folds one on the other re-
minds one too much of the dry goods

forcibly to be either graceful or in good
taste. A better result Is reached by
using less of the dress fabric, and even

He Saluted the Flag.

Capt James Oliver, Of the clipper
Louisiana, which arrived here the 9TH
er day, tells this story: "When the
Louisiana was lying at Dublin the
Prince of Wales was the guest of the
Lord Mayor of the Irish capital. The
Mayor suggested to Wales that 1t
would be interesting for him to visit
the Louisiana. and see just what an
old-time American clipper ship looked
like. Captain Oliver was notified that
the Prince would like to come aboard.
The Captains son, hearing of this, de-
clared that he would compel the Prince
to tip his hat to him. This the Prince
never does, by the way. When the
party came aboard the boy appeared
on deck waving the American flag. The
Prince, noticing the national colors,
raised his hat and the others in the
party followed suit, to the great delight
of the Captains son, who In this way
made good his boast. "-Philadelphia

A Boys Conscience.

Every boy, no matter how hasty or
wrong-headed he may seem, has in his
heart teacher who can always show
him tue way to do right, IL he will
listen to what 1t tells him. Where the
voice comes from, or who gave 1t
power to speak in boys heart, one
cannot say here. But 1t Is there, and
although he may refuse to listen to the
voice Of his mother. or to any outside
voice telling him of the right and
wrong OF his actions, he cannot alto
gether disregard the still, small voice
which Is always with him, and which
sometimes he cannot refuse to hear
Some old writer's Of years ago, and
some men and women to-day believe
that all the religion a man needs he
may find within himself This Is true
SO far that there exists in each of us a
guide which can surely lead us to
choose the right way, IL we obey its
injunctions. Perhaps the voice may
be very faint at first, but, II we try
to listen 1t will surely come and speak
louder and clearer In the heart OF every
boy who wishes to find higher, better
way than he has ever known before.
