 That doesn't sound quite like New York but the effect was prettier than that ot most New York costumes; pret- tier because it really belonged to the girl of the ''windy city;" it was original and individual.
 Western women spend ( cuite as much money for dress as their eastern sisters more, believe. But it is not fair to say they do not speno it as well. They express themselves in their attire bet ter so far as have seen.
 few evenings ago I went to see Ada Rehan at Hooley's. Scattered through the audience were a number of strilx- ingly pretty theater gowns. One that was worn by a rich Chicago woman, past her heyday but still radiant and beautiful, was golden brown cloth, cut in the princess style. The eorsage was finished with two rows of irideseeht buttons. 4 eltv knows good dressmak- ing when it leans to the princess. Such a dress shows the hand of the mis- tress. A successful princess is rare and great When this woman left her box after the Tanning of the Shrew," she drew about her shoulders a long pelisse of black brocade lined through 1 n 10 1A1 I11 cul Jared open in front, turning right back over the shoulders and continuing the fold quite to the ground. Filling the open front was deep yoke of cara cul and jet from beneath which fell an accordion -plalted front ot black lace, ID itself worth fortune A standing col lar of black velvet and sable and over. whelmingly full sleeves with fur lining and lace rufies completed quite the most magnificent cloak it was ever my luck to see.
 l At little luncheon given in honor of Miss Beatrice Harraden I had chance to study not only the authoress who leaped so suddenly into popularity, but also the Windy city's ideas about after noon gowns. Adark, lusterless red ere pon was the material of a frock towhich l paid particular attention. It was creped with wide black silk bands, soft and puffy, and was made with the godet skirt that promises to be even more fashionable than last winter It had a gored front and sides, and three plaits behind. It had narrow-pointed girdle of skeleton jet, and the bodice l had round yoke of jet over red silk, and big dropping sleeves.
 It's interesting, by the way, to see how dressmakers are going to get rid of the pouch front bodice, for their of fered substitutes as yet show little or no originality
 To return to our muttons, a second interesting afternoon froek was ot dark green cloth with skirt trimmed with three ruffies of dark, rose-colored taffeta. This was quaint frock alto gether after the modes affected by the

finger on this peculiarity that the dis covery lies.
 The peculiarity is color. Chicago lets herself go. If Chicago business men hadn't let themselves go in trade this wonderful city wouldn't have grown up at the foot of Lake Michigan. If Chicago women hadn't let themselves go in the make and hue of their dresses they wouldn't be the piquant, pictur- esque westerners they are.
 For it is a mistake to suppose that to be right one must always be subdued. Good taste is suppression sometimes but just as many times it is display New Workers go to London too often. They come home eoo straight and severe. Chicago believes in itself and in the great country west of it, and it isn't afraid of red and yellow. Pretty Mrs.

Work That Is Worth a Hundred Dollars q
 Week.
 The school-teacher is very poorly paid for his wearisome work of im- parting wisdom to his pupils, if many of his pupils are like the one described in the following dialogue. The boy found it difficult to understand simple arithmetic.
 Teacher-Suppose, Fritz, you have stocking on one foot, and you put an other stocking on the other foot, how many would you have on both feet?
 Boy-I never wear no stockings.
 Suppose your father has one pig in pen, and he buys another pig and puts it in the pen, how many pigs will there be in the pen?'
 Dad don't keep no pigs"
 The teacher blew heavy sigh from his tired lips, wiped the prespiration from his scholastic brow, and went at it again with renewed courage.
 Suppose you have one jacket, and at Christmas, your father makes you a present of another jacket, how many jackets will you have then?"
 He ain't that kind of father He never gives nothin' on Christmas
 Suppose your mother gives you one apple, and you have one already, what will you have then?"
 "stomach ache. Our apples are cookin' apples.
 The teacher was not the man to be discouraged by trifies He began to suspect that the boy was not well up in arithmetic, but he resolved to make one more effort, so he said:
 If poor little beggar boy has q cake and you give him one more, how many will he have?"
 'l dunno. 1eat my own cakes"
 Then the teacher told the children to 90 out and play.-Texas Siftings.

Twelve months ago I was confined, but my baby only lived few days. Soon after that l was attacked with irritation of tho bladder choking spells, heart palpitation, fainting spells and great nervousness. In this ter- rible condition was confined to my bed eight months. l thoughtI was dying many times. My dear little helpless children, in kissing me at night, often said. "Please don't die, mamma;" or s'Papa, don't let mamma die tonight" My little boy brought mea Ladies' Birthday Almanac one day, end after reading it I decided to try the Wine of Cardui Treatment. 1 have taken two bottles of McElree's Wine of Cardui and three small packages of Thedford's Black -Draught, and am better than have been for ten years l am visiting my neigh bors on foot, doing my work with ease, and eat better than have for years.

Making it simple.

My good woman, said the learned judge, you must give an answer in the fewest possible words of which you are capable to the plain and sim pie question, whether when you were crossing the street with the baby on your arm, and the omnibus was com ing down on the opposite side, and the cab on the left, and the brougham was trying to pass the omnibus, you saw the plaintiff between the brougham and the cab, and whether and when you saw him at all, and whether or not near the brougham, cab and omnibus, or either, or any two, and which of them, respectively, or how it was.

Yerkes has collection of yellow dia- monds. That is like Chicago and it is becoming.
 Chicago isn't good to look at in Oc- tooer. Perhaps that is why like the warm tones. When the wind blows strong from the lake the city seems weary and weather beaten. The trees are lifeless green, with thinning foli- age and it sets one's blood running to see the velvets and furs, the pomegran- lse reds and the rich damson shades. lnese things are distinctly comforting.
 Whatever the cause, am glad Chi cago girls like plaids; they look well in .nem. The contrasting colors suit well 'nelr chic figures and splendid inde- pendence, and it's worth an hours walk to be out on the boulevards and see them pass and repass in blue and green soft wool mixtures, dark blue wlth lines of scarlet, golden brown cnecked with dark blue, crimson barred Mlen black, and every other combina- uon that on tall slender girl is dainty and dangerous.

 There are splendid brocadcs in all the big stores, and the idea seems tc be to make them up for reception dresses, with slashed skirts filled in with contrasting panels or plaitings. One of myrtle green and an odd shade of blue I have seen made with long redingote over petticoat front of velvet
 In a cozv boudoir this morning there blazed ar open fire and the feet on the fender were not big ones. They were encased in black slippers and black stockings and they hid presently under a tea gown of scarlet challie, strewn with dull green flowers. The breadths were set in full at the neck and flowed gracefully to the feet. A broad dull green ribbon tied the robe at the waist, and great Oows were sent on the shoulders he sleeves were long and flowing, coming half way to the ground. Under them were plaited sleeves of green India silk, finished with creamy lace ruffles.

 She knew he was going to propose. There was strained look about his four-in-hand tie that clearly betrayed it.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The movement for the nationaliza, tion of the railroads of England has recently been put upon a popular basis everyone, without respect to age, birth or sex, having been invited to be. come member of the railway nation alization league, and, according to report just issued by the secretary ot the organization, the reform has en- listed formidable array of supporters. The country has been flooded with handbills setting forth the enormous profits accruing to the holders of rail. way securities, and the benefits that would arise by the diversion of these profits to the public coffers.
 The gun of Daniel Boone has been taken to Charleston, w. Va, and it is said to be still capable of good execu- tion. Its stock and barrel are five feet long, and it carries an ounce ball. It is a fintlock, of course. The gun has been in the family of Nathan Boone Van Bibber, back in the wilds of Nich- olas county. Matthias TiceVan Blbber received the gun from his friend Boone, and he carried it at the battle of Point Pleasant in l774 and throughout the war of 1872 The original powder horn and bullet moulds are with the gun. Matthias Van Bibber left these relics to Capt. c. R. Van Bibber, who left them to his son, Nathan Boone Van Bibber, the present owner.
 If Thackeray's figures are correct George Washington should have left a reputation as an athletic record break CT, for he could have won with ease the intercollegiate championships in broad jumps up to 1889, and many of the national championships besides. Thackeray wrote delightful fiction, and, for the honor of the first president of the United States, it is to be hoped that some of it was based on fact In s'The Virginians," Harry Warrington, after describing running broad jump of twenty-one feet three inches, refers to ''Col.

 Having long recognized the made quacy of foot-warmers as a means of heating railway carriages, says the London Daily Telegraph, the directors of the Great Western railway deter mined when building their first cor. ridor train in the spring of 1899 to provide it with appliances for warm ing the vehicles by the employment of steam from the locomotive. This train has been running on the Paddington, Birmingham & Birkenhead service for more than two years, and the improved system of warming having proved en- tirely successful the additional corri- dor trains which have subsequently, been provided and are now running between London and Torquay and Plymouth and Penzance. and between London and South Wales, have been similarly fitted with equally satisfac- tory results
