for the skirt only when godets are desired.
1t refuses to confine itself in small gathers,
and therefore when it is carried up the
back Of skirt as far as the waist godets
are the result, whatever may have been
the original intention of the amateur
dressmaker. Where plain gathered skirt
is desired the haircloth should ,be carried
not more than Is inches above the hem,
but very carefully fitted to the shape of the
skirt, with tho hair running parallel with
the hem. 1t must be carefully sewed to-
gether to prevent its pulling apart at the
seans--a fault to which it is prone.
French dressmakers who cannot afford
silk Innings employ alpaca, otherwise bril-
liantine, which has certain stiffness and
body
The gown of which an illustration is
given is Of violet veloutine. The skirt,
which falls in godets, has slight train
and is trimmed around the foot with an
application of duchess lace. The tablier
is defined by two quilles of emerald vel
vet The fitted bodice has three plaits of
emerald velvet, which extend over the
yokelike collar Of lace. This collar is wide
enough to lie upon the expansive veloutine
sleeves, which have deep cuffs of lace.

COATS AND SKIRTS.
Haircloth Gowns More Expensive, but They
Are Still Worn.

Capes, though undoubtedly the outdoor
garments Of the hour, will not completely
monopolize the fashionable wear, and the
jackets that have been prepared for those
who feel equal to wrestling with the get
ting on and off (over sleeves composed of
n couple of yards of material) of a coat
are nearly all tight fitting, with shorter
basques than they have been Of late cut
with, and the most popular form of trim
ming is applique of velvet, cloth, satin and
silk, applied to the large Robespierre rev.
ers collar and cuffs. Fawn appears to be
the color for these coats, as for an immense
number of the model gowns and capes seen.
Halrcloth, which grows more and more
expensive, is required as q complete lining

Of those worn by boating men. Some. too,
according to Paris models, will be fully
trimmed with ribbon, velvet and flowers,
especially roses.
With dress capes a full ruche OF lace or

Of flowers being often added at the side.

Parisian authorities say, although here
many different sizes and shapes of hats are
seen in the untrimmed form. Flowers
predominate, while wings of spanglcd
gaIZe are the favorite ornaments aside
from blossoms. The large flowers are most
frequently employed without foliage, but
fine ones are intermixed with grasses and
small leaves, while foliage alone forms the
garniture of some extremely effective hats.
Green Is a refined color and an artistic one
when properly used. The keen arsenical
shades must Of course be excepted, because
the hard and violent tones Of every color
are unpleasant, but most Of the greens
now seen are pleasing. Ivy leaves, maid
enhair fern and mignonette are all most
effective and are to be seen in perfection
among this seasons artificial floral pro-
ductions.
Many hats and bonnets are composed
entirely Of flowers. Violets, lilacs and cow
slips are the favoritcs. There are several
sorts of violets--the wood violet, the Rus
sian violet and the Parma violet. Black
roses, with yellow middles, are also worn.
1t is fashionable to employ combination of
flowers on the same hat or bonnet, but the
effect Is less often satisfactory than when
one variety is used.
Tho capote shown in the cut has a crown
of roses without leaves, very delicate in
tone. The crown is surrounded by black
lace in coquillcs. Two roses are placed in
front, with u butterfly ornament of jet
The ribbons are Of velvet, with satin

Tho Marquis of Ripon was rather I'M
fortunate in his speech at tho Mansion
house in singing out for praise the least ac-
curate portion of Carlyle's French Revo-
lution"-viz, the account of the kings
escape to Varennes. This, as Mr.. Oscar
Browning has shown, bristles with mac
curacies, the fundamental one being that
Carlyle gives the distance from Paris to
Varennes as 60 miles, and the pace for 90
hours as consequently three miles an hour,
whereas, the distance is $50 miles, and the
pace was seven miles an hour. Carlyle
evidently confused Varennes in Argonne
with another Narennes near Chateau

SHE MARRIED FOR LOVE.
And Was Different In One Respect From
the Other Women Present.


1t was a dull morning at the boarding
house. sTho men had gone, and the mar
ried ladies had drifted, as usual, to the
third floor, back" for their matutinal
meal of gossip. AS usual also the chief
topics were tho shortcomings of the land
lady and tho absolute idiocy Of their re-
spective husbands as illustrated by 1.-THE
latest" in each instance.
Mrs. W. really seemed to have a griev-
ance-that Is; II her tale were mortised to
facts, which her tales seldom were. She
exclaimed at tho end Of her narration,
well, never did know why I married
Mr.. W., and tho mystery deepens every
year ] live."
Then tho other women felt called upon
to belttle their own love stories, to ridi-
Guile courtship and marriage. Shrewd,
sidelong glances seemed to indicate that
much OF tho banter was suspected of being
tho truth.
At last Mrs. D., the popular hostess of
the third floor, back, said, "Well, girls,
married for love, and got it!'
There was a hush, and Mrs. ID. saw a
culver around the mouth of Mrs. F., who
had married for love and hadn't got it.
Yet Mrs. +. was the only woman in that
room who had not ridiculed the man she
had solemnly pledged ito honor. New

who lately volunteered in the service, re-
joices in the distinction of having what
would appear to be one of tho oldest names
on record. The unlucky lad is named
Adolph Macmillan +. +. g., these three
letters of the alphabet being all he can
boast of as a surname. The recruiting SER
geant severely reprimanded the young vol
unteer for disrespectful joking when he
spelled out his abbreviated patronymic,
and was only convinced that the a2pella-
ton was bona fide when the lad showed
him his papers. 1t seems, however, that
there are queerer names than +. f. G..
For instance, wine merchant living in
the suburbs of Paris is called Monsieur O..
The name, by the way, is met with in
Normandy, where family was once
known who bore tho name of DO, with
tho title Of marquis. A member of the
family, Francis dO, was superintendent
Of finance under Henry III of France.

are said to be five persons In Paris whose
names are Of this abbreviated type.-San

In South street, New York, there Is an
italian who runs Yankee notion stand.
He speaks English after a fashion, but
cannot read q word Of 1t. This fact has
made him an easy prey for heartless
joker.
His stock Of goods includes almost ev-
erythinR from peanuts and chewing gum
IN suspcndcrs and waterproof jumpers
Until recently he had displayed no pla-
cards. giving the prices of his wares, but
the other day a man offered to paint all
the signs that tho Italian needed free of
charge. Tho offer was joyfully accepted.
The signs were painted and placed in po-
sition, Crowds were attracted to the spot,
and visions Of sudden wealth danced be-
fore the Italians eyes. Hero are some OF
the inscriptions painted by the mounte-
bank:
"Cape Ann Bootsl Only 80 cents a
quart"
"Chewing Gumi All kinds, only 2
cents yard. ~
They wero prominently displayed near
the top Of the stand, but they were eclipsed
by these little lower down:
peanuts, raw or roasted, SO a pint
Must be eaten here"
'Suspendcrs baked, fried or boiled, with
edible buckles, 20 cents plate"
The placard that won the most admira-
ton and of which the innocent merchant
was particularly proud was an oblong af-
fair in gorgeous colors. 1t read:

A few minutes after the signs had been
put into place an old sailor was trying to

Was 1t st, Mark or Lazarus?

AS Jesus was being led captive from the
garden back of Jerusalem one form fol-
lowed the guard. 1t was white in the
moonlight and looked like an apparition.

sought to lay hands upon it. when the fig
uro cast off tho cloth around its form and
escaped. st. Mark is the only historian
who mentions this, and some writer's think
ST. Mark was tho figure. Others think it
was Lazarus. -Philadelphia Press
