Garnet Weavine.

1t was in France that the first serious
effort was made to establish the manu-
facture of carpets in the fashion of the
Orient This was in the reign of
Louis XIV. and under the direction Of
his Minister Colbert. The royal manu-
factories were designed to furnish all
manner of furniture, and in the Gobe-
Inns and Beauvais factories $50 master
weavers wove rich tapestries. During
the revolution of 1889 these factories
were almost suppressed, but Napo-
leon l. revived the manufactures and
furnished his palaces with their
loom work The national workshops
of France still continue, and the
woven stuffs of Gobelins, Beauvais,
and the Savonnerie are accounted
among the finest in Europe. The
knowledge of carpet weaving was pre-
sumAbly introduced into England
from France. During the persecution
of the Huguenots the carpet weavers,
with other artistic craftsmen, fed for
refuge to England, and established
themselves in various towns. Axmin-
ster, in Devonshire, was one of these,
and also the town of Wilton. These
places retained their supremacy for a
long time, but with the introduction
of the jacquard loom and various i'm
proved processes of manufacture, the
industry was successfully developed
in Kidderminster, Durham, KiImar-
mock, and Glasgow. Words.

women, Mrs. Carrie Clyde Holly, the
subject of our illustration; Mrs. Clara
Cressingham and Mrs. Frances Klock
were returned to the Assembly, while
Mrs. Angenette NJ. Peavey was elected
superintendent of public instruction.
The three legislators are from the
East, Mrs. Klock being a native of New
England and the others being natives
of New York State.
Mrs. Holly was born in New York
City in 1866 and has been a resident of
Colorado about five years. Previous
to her removal to the West she took an
active part in furthering the question
of woman suffrage and was associated
in this work with Lille DevereauX
Blake and others prominent in the suf-
frage movement in this State. She is
a lady of kindly impulses, liberal edu-
cation and force of character. Of the

nent is lined with rose-pink surah

The combination of jet and chiffon
in the OrnamentatiOn bodiceS is, of
course, very far from a new idea, but
some entirely novel expressions Of it
are current The fourth illustration
here depicts one such, light pink chf-
fon being draped over a fitted white
satin foundation. The large revers are
of black velvet, edged with jet and in
closing big and brilliant jet butterfly
Smaller ones drape the sleeves very
prettlly. Below this there is an empire
skirt garnished in front with black vel
vet points, which hang from a plain
black velvet belt and are bordered with
large jet beads, besides being weighted
with fringes and q fancy gilt and jew
eled butterfly.
Though designers hint of palmer
styles in bodices, the theater bodice is
still bent on being joy forever, and all
sorts of eccentric Communications are
seen on it. One is shown herewith that
is gotten up very daintily, and it can be
carried out in any favored combination
of colors. 1t is made of cloth and fas-
tens at the side, as it is alike in back
and front, having an embroidered vel
vet yoke with collar and epaulettes to
match. The plain belt and the corners
of the yoke are garnished with velvet
ribbon bows that perkily go straight up
and down like a sleeps foreleg.
In the matter of harmony between
bodice and skirt, even greater license
is to be permitted than at present A
little while ago everything to match
was considered good taste but for
some time a fancy and multi-colored

attacked simultaneously with both of
his old enemies. Unable to bear the
affection, he went into his yard, picked
up a small stick, and approaching

makers. AS they came angrily forth in
search of their tOrmentor the man
placed his cheek against the hole in the

was stung in half a dozen places. AL
thCdgh the pain was almost unenduca-

of the face. He has not suffered from
his old affiicton since, and he believes
his recovery is due to the treatment he
subjected himself to.

Had Use for a Crooked Arm,

At the siege of Petersburg a young
confederate lieutenant who was very
good looking and a great favorite with
the girls was badly wounded in the left
arm. Several of the surgeons declared
that it would be necessary to amputate
the limb, but it was finally decided
that by removing a section of the bone
the arm might be saved. But" said
one of the surgeons, ''it will be a bads
job, and when healed the arm will re-
main crooked" The young lieutenant.
thinking that any kind of an arm was
better than no arm and with thought
for future conquests replied: Never
mind the crook; set it for hugging and
go ahead. Texas Siftings.

and stands straight out over the arm in
epaulette fashion. The other seems to
fall straight from the yoke to the hips.
This variation of the line of the under
and over cape is what is not liked
Where the yoke is lace covered each
cape has corresponding elaboration.
Fur is going to last very late into the
spring season. OF that there can be no
question, but whether it is to have the
all-the-year-rOund vogue that dealers
are now promising for it, is doubtful.
1t is comfort to the be-furred woman
to know that she can wear her peltry rs
long as it is comfortable, and it pro-
longs beyond ordinary limits the time
for considering fur-trimmed garments.
In the garments there is one result eyi-
dent, and that is that stuffs Of compar-
atively light weight are literally
trimmed with fur. In the initial pic
ture for instance, there is shown a
tight fitting jacket of black velours.
lined with thin silk, but set off with q
handsome fur collarette and cuffs, a
muff matching them. The garment
hooks under double boXpleat in front
and is Ornamented at waist and throat
with buttons of oxidyZed silver.
Fur edgings will, of course, be worn
much later than collarettes, and though,
like the latter, they may now match
the muff carried, they will be quite ac-
ceptable after the muff has been put
away in camphor. Late as it is, novel
forms Of applying them are often
seen, the dealers hoping, probably, that
some of them will strike wOmen'S
fancy so strongly as to ensure their be-
ing carried over into warm weather. A
striking use of them is portrayed in the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1895-03-02

dominant color of the bodice, or even
with a plain light or black skirt, has
been permitted. Now we may do more.
Skirts of striped silk and of slightly
crinkled crepon with an over-fowering
of colors may be worn with bodices Of
all sorts of different coIors. 1t seems
to be demanded only that the skirt
shall in itself be charming, and that
the bodice shall also, in it's own way,
be charming, too. Here is a sample no
match costume: a godet and well-stIf-
fened skirt of soft gray crepon, covered
with dainty buds of pink and pale-blae
silk. and a bodice of brOcade in cash
mere colors handsomely draped with
black chiffon. The whole effect of this
is charming, despite the fact that our
recent ideas of harmony are thereby
smashed to smithereens.
Among the semi-experimental mod
els now shown there is one new design
that is pretty sure to find favor, because
of its novelty and beauty. 1t is silk
bodice that fits tightly all about except
high in front, where a full boXpleat
falls bfouse-like, dropping stiff1y over
the belt. This pleat is finished in shirt
front fashion and down its center is
worn a set of studs, diamond solitaires,
pearls or any favored gem. This is
something entirely new, and already
gems are being set on short pins with
catch to apply on the under side of the
silk. Stud holes should not be made,
and the bodice may better be worn
with no studs unless one can boast
handsome set.

does on discovering them is to poke
them farther up. in frantic efforts to
get them out. A remedy that acts like
a charm at times is to force the child's
mouth open, and, covering its mouth
with your own, to blow very hard. The
force will often expel the substance
without other trouble. About the SAT-
