clentIy light and nebulOus while yet
strong. 1t is here that chiffon makes its
value felt, as 1t is light and flmy and yet
strong.
Crepons have not lost their popularity
for all kinds of uses, and every new i'm
portation shows some new device in the
weave or crinkle, color or warp. Probably
the straight medium sized crinkle will al
ways be the first favorite, as It takes trim
ming better than those varieties with deep
er and more irregular effects.
Crepon makes a most useful fabric for
children, as il is light and flexible and
does not tear easily, and If the color is
good it will wash. All that IL required is
to dip it into a good warm lather and
shake it well, and when all the dirt has
fallen out, as it will quickly, dip It into
clear water and wiring it out and let il dry
in the shade without ironing It. 1t win
frocks can be trimmed with fat lace inser-
ton, ribbon bands or left plain as to skirt,
but the yokes and waists need moro trim
ming. A pretty fancy in one drab crepon
for q child Of had apple green ribbons,
three rows, around the bottom Of the skirt,
which reached to the boots. There was no
waist proper, as the skirt was gathered di
rectly on the yoke. There was a small
square yoke, with the ribbon sewed upon
It, and full ruff1e around that Of china
silk in the same shade as the ribbons. The
sleeves were double puffs.
Every year fashion changes in the set
ting of Jewels, and this one they seem to
have taken their designs from the jewels
one sees in old pictures or to have some
special meaning in their form or finish.
Sapphires, rubies, emeralds and diamonds
are the stones preferred. The colored
stones are artistically arranged to be sur
rounded by diamonds. Few pearls are
seen. There is quite fancy for old mine
opals Marquise rings set with medium
sized diamonds are much liked, and color
ed gems like rubies, Opals, emeraldS, etc,
are frequently set in clusters forming
parts of scrolls arabesques or circles.
For good, steady service there is nothing
better than vclutina for children. and IL is
always so dressy! It can be washed and
restored TO its original beauty by passing
the wrong side of IL over hot 1latiron
which has a wet cloth folded and laid over
it, so as to raise a steam, which raises the
pile. But a velutina, like crcpon, can
be worn q long while without such ne
cessity. One very taking style of making
up such frock was developed in mazarin
blue, the skirt gathered ut the belt and
hemmed at the bottom. a light blue silk
braid was sewcd around three inches from
the bottom. Another row was sewed
around the belt and still another around
the square neck. The waist was made
blouse style and had a full guimpe of baby
blue china silk. The sleeves were made OF
the silk and were ruffled closely from the
shoulders to tie elbow, while the foroarms
were of the velutina.
There was a cunning little dress of pink
fayetta for Christmas party. The skirt
was cut with considerable of fare, and

few samples is sewed in the upper part
of the left sleeve, and just under the arm
is another one for the purse-that Is to
say, the purse with the money. Every
body now carries two purses, one with her
shopping money In 1t, and the other with
small amount in change for car fare. Be-
sides being handy place for a pocket the
lady has no reason to fear pickpockets,
and they would be very clever members OF
the light fingered fraternity who could
find the pocket among the folds Of sleeve
even If they could know 1t to be bulging
with money.
1t requires money, and much of 1t, to
buy the things now shown for cold wealth
er. There are whole costumes made of
fur, dress jacket, nun and cape. True,
such q costume is heavy and little un-
wieldy, but one can bear SO much Of dis
comfort when one looks well. A lady
walked down the street yesterday clad in
"A black MORE astrakhan costume, consist
ing of a skirt of fashionable shape, an
Elton jacket opening over fancy vest OF
lemon colored faille, with accordion ruft1es
and lace down the front, and full stock
of the same. The Elton was open, but we
who are initiated know that there was
snug chamois vest beneath that. This
lady carried small nu6, with bow OF
violet ribbon and bunch Ct fresh violets
on the top. She was tho Cnvied one OF a
large crowd.
Another promenader wore a quaint,
short wnisted coat of black whipcord,
which, as the wind blew it open, showed
that il was lined throughout with fur.
There was an odd cape, very much sprung,
made OF moire astrakhan. This had col
lar Of tho whipcord which was braided
and scalloped. There was a rundown
collar of astrakhan above this, fas tened
with O full black MORE bow. Both Of
these costumes were elegant and costly
and not to be obtained by everybody.
This season has allowed great latitude
in the way Of wraps. There are now long
dolman mantles. short jackets, cloaks
touching the ground and capes scarcely
reaching the waist, and there are some
who discard all kinds Of apparent means
of keeping warm. There are Prince AL
berts, and there are covert and box coats.
EVERYTHING goes from silk to heavy mel
ton, cloth, plush and velvet, not to men
ton the fur garments.
Among the new ideas of the season is
one which gives a lady two corsages to the
same skirt. One is for day and the other
for evening wear. The first is plain and
the latter finished with luff Of chiffon
and lace or perhaps an elaborate decora-
ton of spangles or beads One waist for
evening that was sent home with hand
some satin skirt of a deep, rich prune col
or, which, by the way, is a very fashiona-
Bile color this winter, was Of prune velvet
and pale blue chiffon, shirred and quilted
as closely as hands could do 1t. 1t must
have required at least six yards Of chiffon
TO make the vest and stock. There was
folded belt Of Terry velvet Of the same
prune shade. The evening corsage was cut
pompadour, and the front was filed in
with white chiffon and was made with a
sharp point both front and back. There
was Marie Stuart collar at the neck, and

from the square oorsage there was a rain
Of jet beads, which showed beautifully
over the chiffon stomacher and fell below
the waist line.
Among the handsomest fabrics made up
Tor evening wear are the superb Lyons sat
ms These are not exactly new, but by
popularity in their weave they may be
called new, as they all show a frosting of
some lighter tint or white over the surface
OF the ground color. Rose and maize are
also woven together in some mysterious
way that makes very beautiful tint, and
when this is produced In satin that will
almost stand alone one can imagine what
q noble effect it must give. The greens
have an ivory tint in their texture some
where which shows fltfully, and blues
have silvery white lights that remind one
OF the CLEAN of moonlight on the ocean.
Surely hand has never produced anything
more beautiful or stately. These satins
nre not hrocaded or figured. their smooth
surface being their chief beauty. and the
least possible amount OF trimming is
placed upon the skirts. Whatever Is put
upon the oorsages Is set in a manner cal.

February 9th, and continuing
for ONE WEEK, we will hold
the LARGEST REMNANT
SALEof the SEASON. At the
prices we are asking every
piece will be sold. Read what
follows and kindly bear in
it mind.
POPULAR APPROVAL
Goes far toward establishing
the standing of a business
house in any community, and
the goodwill and patronage
we have had during the last
forty years indicate, not only
that we have the POPULAR AP-
PRovAL, but that those who
have dealt with us have been
eminently satisfied with their
transactions.
WE ATTRACT
And retain patronage more
by the EXCELLENCE OF QUALITIES
shown and our REASONABLE
PRICES than by preposterous
claims of selling goods below
cost, etc.
WE REPEAT
AS we have said before that
when you pay less for goods
than we ask for them you get
an inferior quality.
WHILE WE
Garry a stock of dry
goods that is complete
in every sense, from
the lowest priced goods
to the most luxurious made,
we make a speciality of the
highest grade, and exclusive
designs of the most recent and
accepted styles.

and tissues of the body are not satisfied
with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the

NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS

In the field of lighting by phosphores-
cence we reach hitherto untrodden
ground. Phosphorescent light has
been associated with the idea Of "cold
light" or the property Of becoming lu-
nlnous with the omission of the inter
mediate step of combustion, as COM
monty understood. As physical &C
ton, we know 1t in the light Of the fire.
fy, which Professor 8. p. Langley rates
radiations lying within the limits Of
the visible spectrum. By means Of the
Tealaic currents phosphorescent light
strong enough even to photograph by
has been obtained; and the picture. rep
resenting the inventor himself, Is the
first portrait or photograph Of any kind
ever taken by phosphorescent light.
A bulb whose light-giving member is
coated with sulphide Of zinc treated In
special way was rendered phosphores-
cent by means of current obtained
from q high-frequency transformer coll.
The current used was alternated or os-
cillated about 10000 times per second.
The exposure was about eight min
utes.
The other picture, that Of Mfr. Glenn
ems (Mark Twain, was taken q few
weeks later-early in 1S94-with the
aid Of the same bulb, and with an ex-
posure of about ten minutes. In order
to test more closely the actinic value
Of phosphorescent light, some bulbs
subject to high-frequency currents
were photographed, or, II we may coin
new word, ''phosphographed," with q
somewhat longer exposure. One bright
pair illustrated utilize sulphide of zinc
in some form for luminosity. The third
bulb, seen family to the left Of them,
has coating Of sulphide Of calcium.
Although, judged by the eye. 1t glowed
with brightness fully equal to that
Of the other two, the uctinic value was
evidently much less. 1t is, perhaps,
needless to say that these demonstra-
tons invite an endless variety Of ex-
periments, in which inventors will find
a host Of novel phenomena awaiting
them as to phosphorescence and fuor-
escence produced with electrical cur
rents.-Thomas Commerford Martin, In
