Women on Paris streets.

Women as well as men are employed
to remove the dirt from the streets of
Paris. Groups of both sexes. armed
with brooms, gather at certain points
all over the city, especially about the
Opera and the Place de la Bastille. Fm-
ployes of the prefecture promptly ap-
pear and divide them into brigades. as
signing to each a certain section from
which the snow. ice or dirt is to be

Blue velvet also gives the sleeves and
bows of the same ribbon dot the skirt
and bodice. All this is beautiful and
elegant, and is all right for the lucky
few who can afford such richness, but
for the others. the whooping big ma
jority as electioneers put it. it gives a
chance for timely bit of advice. 1t is
that, now fashions change so rap
idly, it is not necessary to buy the best
materials for a party gown All sorts
of silks come with a big rep cotton
filled" In them: these silks look WELL
they are stiff enough to stand out nice
~ in sleeves, and they are almost as
cheap as good cotton. While the pur-
chase of cotton-andwoo goods for street
wear, or of cotton veIvets or cheap
satins and silks for dresses that are to
constitute standby part of the ward
robe is unwise, the party gown that at
best can be worn only two or three
times may as well be of some inexpen-
sive material that need not be kept to
make over when the gown is worn. A
little party gown for brunette of
slender figure made of straw-colored
silk Of the suggested sort, with a little
front OF white tulle. is as pretty as
can be, with just a plain, wide skirt
and a wide-belted bodice fitted simply
so that too much strain need not come
on the material. Such dress can,
perhaps. be considered possible in
money way, when real good material
would make the gown out of the ques-
ton Time was when it was worth
while to buy rich goods and have them
cleansed for several wears, but it is as
cheap and a lot more fun to get new
stuff these days.

Amphitrite Completed After Twenty
One Years Work.


One Years Work.
Another vessel was added to the
United States navy recently by the
completion at the Norfolk navy yard
of the armored coast defense monitor
Amphitrite, which has been under
construction for the remarkable period
of twenty-one years. A telegram
reached the navy department from
Norfolk announcing the final compile
ton of this job, VII ch promised to go
on forever, like Tennyson's brook
So great was the rejoicing at this news
that, while the spell was still on, the
secretary gave orders to have officers
and crew ready to put the Amphitrite
in commission at once The Amphi-
trite has literally been built on the in
stallment plan. In 1874 her keel was
laid and work progressed for a time
until the partial appropriation then
available was exhausted. Other things
then occupied the attention of the de-
partment, and year or two passed be-
fore more money was set aside to carry
on the work When this was done,
work was resumed and continued in
earnest until this second apr opriation
was exhausted Then there was delay
again until more money WIS in sight,
and so it has continued spasmodically
ever since. In the whole history of the
American navy there is no other in
stance where the construction of
vessel was carried on for such a re-
markable period. There has never been
pressing need for the completion of the
vessel and it is probably wise thing
after all that her construction went on
by such remarkably easy stages. From
year to year changes have been made in
the plan of the vessel to keep abreast
of the remarkable improvements in
naval architecture, and today the AM
phitrite is modern ship of war in
all respects, just as if she had been
originally designed year ago.

with almost any shade of dress. Among
the new models was a dainty one en-
broidered with sequins and similar
beads on black velvet. 1t was quite
short, very full around the edge, and
was lined with shot silk that toned with
the sequins. The design of the embroi-
derry was conventional, and here and
there little scrolls came out of the de-
sign and ran up toward the neck. A
full chiffon ruche and two blue silk
poppies trimmed the neck. The pop
pies were impossible flowers, but that
does not matter nowadays. and some
such bit of brightness is essential. The

shown, and it is safe to say that the
models presented win furnish types for
warm weather wear The changes in
dresses are not very marked; the plain
skirt with the usual shape is an ac-

is comfortable or convenient, bat as
has been said before, they are quite as
well liked, because even though they
are somewhat shorter, they are bound
to cut off at the edges unless they are
slightly raised.
