OLIVE HARPER'S LETTER.

NEW YORK, April lit is impossi-
BILE to imagine just how far this sudden
rage for spangles will 60 They are, as
I said before, seen on almost every gar
ment, but the most of them have been
small and of brilliant Iuster. Now we
are shown disks nearly an inch in dia-
meter. These are strung on strings and
then pressed fat against the material
whereon they are to be displayed, one
overlapping the other. One dress had
clusters of three lines, each four inches
long. set at irregular intervals over the
dress skirt The center line was set
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1895-04-08

about an inch lower than the others.
The dress on which these were placed
was a russell green peau de sole, with a
wide circular skirt. These large span
giles are called sequins, but are made
of FURNISHED metal and have blue and
green lights. There were but two cIus-
tiers of these spangles, one on each side
of the waist, almost touching the draped
belt On the front of the waist were two
narrow lines of mink fur in points. The
rest of the waist was entirely plain. At
the neck was a stock of green silk mus
lin. There were lace caps to the sleeves.
The pattern in this lace was followed
with green and russell red floss silk, and
it made a very effective arrangement.
This gown was intended for visiting
costume. The dainty little bonnet worn
with it was of natural straw edged with
pink pearl beads On the front was
very full peasant bow of lace above
which were set several tulips and their
buds
These short capes are made of two
circles, cut down sufficiently to bring
them even, and the upper edge is then
plated to the small round yoke. They
look we'll, but are small protection in a
windy day.
I saw another very striking and styl-
ish outdoor costume. The skirt was of
the heavy ribbed crepon in two shades
of brown. The skirt was a medium
godet style. The two shades in the crepon
had a sort of underlying greenish bronze
shade that showed ftfully between the
seal and tan and made it very rich.
With this was worn tight fitting
jacket of tan cloth box stitched on each
seam. Down each seam there was also
piping of bias brown velvet The pOck-
cts were postiche and partially covered
with velvet. There was brown velvet
yoke ON the jacket which was perforated
in fancy pattern. The collar was of
the tan cloth partially covered with vel
vet, and this collar ended with revers
trimmed in the same way. There were
perforated velvet PIastrons on the sleeves
too. The bonnet was white chip, border
ed with fur and having black tips and
gold colored aigret. So much for out
of door apparel.
For home attire there are many beau
tiful things, the newest of which are
the sicilienne and figured pole de chevre.
Brilliantine is also shown as the foun-
dalton of many of the newest gowns. It
always was pretty, and it is prettier
than ever now, as the finish is finer and
more lustrous.
There was a gown of dark gray bril-
liantine made with a very much dis
tended skirt, plainly finished. There
was crushed belt of ruby velvet and a
trimming on the waist made of ruby
velvet ribbon. With this was slasned
collarette of ruby velvet. The sleeves
were simple gigots. This gown had an
elaborate appearance, while in reality
it was of the simplest. The ruby and
gray make an excellent com bination for
any one young enough to bear it. The
other gown for home wear was of cadet

bic and enjoy being petted by the little
folks, but the attention they have at
tracted has sort of spoiled them. When
they get tired of being fondled, they are
just as likely as not to kick the nearest
child with the most malevolent inten-
ton in the world The kick of one of
the baby donkeys is a trifie more seri
Gus than a slap from a chicken might
be, and nothing pleases the young don
key worshipers more than to provoke
one of these manifestations of displeas-
ure. OF course nobody thinks of har-
Messing or saddling the little donkeys
yet. They could as we'll think of hitch
ing couple of lambs.
They have not been named yet, and
they look so much alike that only their
closest acquaintance among the chill
dren know them apart They are given
into Mr.. Murphy charge, Mr.. Murphy
being the superintendent of the chill
dren's playground, for a very short time
every day except Sundays. The excep-
ton is made because the wise people to
whom the future of the young donkeys
has been intrusted do not think that they
would be able to stand the excitement
and petting they would get from a Sun
day crowd of children. As it is, they
are surrounded all the time that they
are in the playground by children, and
the funny woolly little beasts with the
long ears and wrinkled noses are already
threatened with dyspepsia from the in
ordinate quantity of peanuts, popcorn
and candy that has been smuggled to
them.
Up to date the donkeys, in addition
to accepted edibles, have devoured sew
eral dozen pockets and quite number
of pinafores.
The little beasts get quite tired out
with the excitement and the fondling,
and then they are led away to a stable,
followed by wistful lot of children.

Women Limp Less and why.

Not nearly so many women limpers
from the shoe malady are now seen.
Appearances are deceitful in regard to
the width of the modern woman shoe.
The increased length required to fur
nish the sharp toed shoe without inter
fering greatly with the natural toes
gives to the shoe slim appearance that
would be less conspicuous in a shorter
shoe. Boots and Shoes Weekly.

This odded 100 millions to our currency.

ond 900 of pure metal IN every 1000
Dorrs of gold and silver. When it is
TINS coined it is called standard silver
and standard gold. Copper is the alloy
of silver, ami copper and silver the
alloy of gold coins. In 1873 the law
was changed so that gold, instead of
silver, becsm3 the unit of value, Just
as it is to day. At that time-1873-
silver was worth a premium over gold

NEAR that the silver in a silver dollar
is sixteen times heavier than the gold

eighteen tons of silver to 1 CT gold.
Token money is the subsidiary coins.
There are in the United States 81, 600,

I wish to ask you a question: Is the
Agricultural Department. a partisan
organization7 I was the correspondent
from Newton, in regard to crops, etc.
for a number of years, and received
the Bulletin, but on the first of April,
1894, l made report about as follows:
"Ehe frcs5 of the 25th and 26th OF
March and the present Democratic ad-
ministration have so completely killed
everything that I cannot report any
thing with any degree of certainty,
except hard times" Ihave not receiv
ed anything from the Agricultural De
partment since, not v a Bulletin,
which I thought all citizens are entitled
to; therefore, the thing called the Ag-
ricultural Department looks like being
very partisan, indeed. But we will
raise that ring next time, for sure, and
put men in that will, at least, be re-
spectful. Fl. A. FORNEY.
