FASHIONABLE THEEE-QUARTER CAPE.
 outdoor garments. Everything is worn from q long pclisse to an EtOn jacket. Capes arc quite as popular as coats, and the most elegant ones are made of vel vet, trimmed beautifully with jet and fur and lined with handsome brocade, and arc either very short or quite long. High mcdici collars are seen on coats and capes alike. Tho latest cloth jackets for winter wear have either shoulder capos or revcrs of fur, and Persian lamb, sable, mink and chinChilla arc the kinds most commonly used.
 The three-quarter length is an ideal cloak for either church or theater, as it is easy to adjust, i'll addition to being extremely becoming. The three quarter cape ill black velvet is especial ly handsome. One seen was mounted with full box plaits at the back and opened on two added fronts. It was lined with figured silk and connected with clusters of long jet strands in har- mony with thegimp of the pointed collar \ band of fur surrounded the throat and outlined tho fluted shoulder frill The long Cloaks this season possess all the advantages of elegance that full length garments gain over tho curtailed ones. 1 For evening wear. or as q carriage wrap, these close affairs arc equally conven- tent and appropriate' The comfort of a long, loose cloak is among the things which custom cannot render obsolete.
 The gowns of today express amplitude. The sleeves spread out to correspond with the full skirts. collars are decorated with bows and rOScttcs to continue the effect of width. and hats are trimmed wide to complete the outline, giving an air of generous sufficiency to the cos tumcS which leaves nothing to be de- sired by women of redundant propensi- ties. Skirts remain close around the hips and wide at the bottom. Bodices are mostly cut round and monopolize the decorations, the skirts being but spar ingly trimmed when trimmed at all. Tho princess style of dress is worn again, which is good news for stout women. Tho simply cut princess is the most fash ionablc style for velvet gowns, but they need perfect drcssmaker and ought to be fitted over good form of stays.
 The skirts for all street costumes must clear the ground, and vet not be short. They can bo from 10 yards in width, but must fit smooth and tight over tho hips and hang as though worn over a crinoline. This stiff, flaring look is ob- taincd ill several wayS-first and fore most by the cut of the skirt, then by O lining of haircloth or similar stiff ma terials. Lining street costumes with silk

The daughter of the court gardener was loved by young artisan, but lacked the dot necessary to a bride One day, chancing to break of a spray of orange blossoms. the gardener thoughtlessly gave it to his daughter. The willy ambassador promptly offered her sum sufficient for the desired dowry. provided she gave him the branch and said nothing about 1t. Her marriage was soon celebrated. and on the way to the altar, in grateful remembrance of the source of all her happiness. she secretly broke of another piece of the lucky tree to adorn her hair. Whether the poor gardener lost his head in consequence of the daughters treach' cry the legend does not state. but many lands now know the wonderful tree. and ever since that wedding day orange blossoms have been considered AttinE Rdernmsnt fer R bride.

The bill provides that one of the battleships and three of the torpedo boats shall be built upon the Pacific coast or in adjacent waters, if it can be done at fair cost; abolishes speed premiums. and says that one of the battleshiPs shall be named Kearsage. When the proposition to build these battleships was first made many congressman were disposed to oppose It on account of the slim condition of the treasury. but upon consideration of the fact that the largest part of the money for them will be paid for labor. thus giving needed employment to many. the most of them have withdrawn their opposition, and it is now regarded as certain that the bill will go through practically as re ported.

 YoSHITo HARCNoMIYA. were soon crush ed, for the rumor seems unfounded. In looking abroad for a wife for his heir the mikado would depart from the an cient traditions of his race. He seems such a progressive monarch, however, that such a move would not phase him, but he seems far more likely to do as his predecessors have done and select the young woman from one of the five ancient families of the FuJifara clan. The crown prince, Yoshito Haruno- miya. is only l5 years of age, but the Japanese marry young. He is said to be bright, attractive boy, with a studi- ous mind and strong liking for mili- tary affairs. He was educated at the nobles' school and worked as faithfully as his fellow students He holds a com | mission in the Japanese army and near | ly always appears ill uniform. Although possessed of becoming dignity, he goes in for athletics as enthusiastically as other boys and is particularly fond of boat racing. His progressive father sees to it that he Is well informed on | the general affairs of the world, and | the young prince already speaks Eng fish, German and French. His blood is the bluest of the blue, and according to Japanese tradition he traces his anceS- try to the gods He Is descended from Jimmu TcnuO the first emperor of Ja- pan, who ruled over ,, 300 years ago. It seems odd to think of the crown prince as marrying a foreigner. when it is remembered that only a quarter of century ago the emperor of Japan hated all foreigners as heartily as the Chinese, and his antiforeign policy was l a great factor in his successful attempt to overthrow the shOguns who had for some time usurped tho powers of the true royalty of Japan. He was wise enough to sec, however, that the for eigners were not to be swept away, and his quick change of policy placed him in the enviablc position he now OCcu- pies as the Conqueror of barbarOus China.
