One night during the past week a
bevy of young ladies called on me
and requested to be shown through
the building. l always did say bevy.
1t sounds very Bostonese, and as a
matter of fact is better than coveya
or flock. 1t suits young girls better
than drove, and is little more soci-
ety-like than herd. They were all
dressed in style, and not wishing to

a remoteness. 1 wasn't embarrassed
when they came in. l used to be

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The
Dockery commission expired with the
close of congress. Mr.. Dockery was
asked why he did not make an effort
to have it continued and he replied
with a Republican house he could not
nope to accomplish anything in the
next congress. Further, he was salts
he'd with the record that had been
made and did not wish to prosecute
what would turn out failures in. the
next congress, by reason of not hav-
ing the preliminary power to carry it
through. Mr.. Dockery was asked
what he proposed to do with all the
recommendations put in by the ex-
perts and the commission, just before
congress adjourned. In reply. he said
that an effort would be made during
the next congress by Mr.. Dingley and
himself to secure the enactment into
law of some of the recommenda tions
made.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

py local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is fnfiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hau's

pearl passementerie and finished with
rosette either of chiffon or satin or
huge bow of velvet ribbon.
The slipper with one strap is very
pretty for house-wear, but hardly.
dressy enough for evening wear. When
black slipper is worn, nothing takes
the place of patent leather. A rosette
is not necessary on a patent leather
slipper, but there is always something
chic about rosette wherever you
see it.
Tinted sueds is material much used
in evening slippers. The natural leath-
er tints, such as beige and little light
er, are the prettiest. When braided
with satin gimp of the same color, and
finished with a rosette, nothing could
be daintier.
Some of the newest shapes in evening
slippers have a high, flaring piece in
front that looks like the tongue of
shoe greatly exaggerated. This slipper
has large buckle in front.
In the way Of garnitures, nothing can
be too large. If it is a bow, the ends
should be wide and long, and the loops
wide spread. Rosettes almost cover
the entire front of the slipper leaving
just the tip in view. Buckles are i'm
mense, also. Low shoes or half-shoes
are not worn by well-dressed people in
the winter at all. And covering them
with cloth CATERS is merely the impecu-
nious woman's subterfuge, and has
nothing whatever to do with the
fashion.
Russet boots have certainly held their
own this winter with women as well as.
men, and have shared honors with the
calfskin for rough wear. For skating
they have been the popular boot, and
were worn almost exclusively.
For the bedroom there are many
dainty designs. The Romeo slipper
in quilted satin, finished and lined with
swansdown, is the most comfortable.
The French toilet slipper in dainty col
ors looks well, but it is almost impossi-
BILE to walk in it. The bedroom slipper,
which has taken the place, to a large
extent, of those disfiguring knitted af-
fairs, is the Turkish slipper. This is
heelless and comfortable, and if the
foot is well shaped, most becoming.
In stockings, black continues to be
the prevailing color for general wear.
For dress, however the stockings should
always match the slippers. There are
all shades in delicate, yet strongly
woven silk. White silk stockings are
much worn by really elegant women for
