skirts. Une jacket which solves the
difficulty has slight point In front, Is
short on the sides and has short coat
tails in the back, but it isn't pretty. A
new outside jacket, which Is to be made
purposely to wear over blouse, is
made waist length. The upper part is
yoke Of fancy embroidery, and to this
the lower part Is fastened, being laid
in box plaits. 1t Is an odd-looking
jacket, and Is one of the results of the
attempts to devise wrap to take the
place of the long-used cape. No ordi-
nary coat will button over such pair
Of blouses as are shown In the illustra-
ton.
One Of these waists Is made of rose
colored silk, combined with brown vel
vet and lace. The front Is of silk,
draped on either side with guipure,
which is confined with the rest of the
blouse underneath an embroidered
girdle. The collar is brown velvet,
with rosette on each side. At the
hips, just below the waist, are couple
of loops of velvet which stand out at a
fetching angle. The sleeves are very
full, being run with several rows of
stirring at the top to give the fat
effect necessary at the top of the sleeve,
and the lower sleeves are of lace. The
hat is of roses and violets, trimmed
with tall loops Of striped rose and
brown ribbon.

In bedroom just furnished the cur
tains, bed cover and canopy are of fine
white dimity scattered with little
sprigs of flower and leaf in pink and
olive. The bed cover is made with a
deep flounce of the material, gathered
about aS inch and half from the edge.
This part makes a little ruffle that
heads the founce The cover is laid
over one of pink sateen, also made with
a founce. This founce has no head
ing. The drapcry Mt the head of the
bed is simply long, wide scarf of the
dimity, with rutfle finger wide on
one side of its length. On the back of
the bedstead there is fastened a wooden
brace that has a brass rod with a
hook at the end fastened to it. The
scarf drapery depends from the brass
arrangement, andis draped back grace
fully like a curtain at each side of the
headboard.

The other blouse is made of change
able red and blue silk. 1t is shirred in
several rows around the neck below
the collar. Strips of marten run from
the collar down to the velvet girdle
where the finish is the little heads that
seem to hold the girdle In their little
teeth. For warmer weather this fur
may be replaced by bands and rosettes
Of red velvet. The sleeves are trimmed
with velvet rosettes, and velvet ends
hang from one side of the girdle. The
hat is blue straw trimmed with loops
of blue ribbon and Martha Washington
geraniums.
A pretty style of blouse for ordinary
wear is of steel gray silk with line Of
purple showing indistinctly all through
it. The front has double box plat
with three fancy steel buttons set on
at intervals Of about three inches. Pur-
pie velvet pipings and rosettes form the
trimming.
Dresses for indoor wear are trimmed
with lace-usually the wide hounces

on the sleeves A pretty indoor gown

fashion parade. II e most sensible one
is the plea of economy. Ordinarily, es-
pecially in northern countries, Easter
comes too early to demand spring
clothes Ones fur tippet is not uncom-
Portable in the temperature which the
season furnishes at the last of March
or first of April, and the cloth dress of
winter would serve much longer than
these early days of spring. Another
very reasonable explanation for not
joining the procession is the fact that
ones SWEETEST gown, which otherwise
might make sensation, Is lost In the
crowds Of brilliantly-arrayed worship
ers, and receives only passing glance
from admirers whose eye hurries on to
see what the next feature Of the parade
will be.
Nevertheless. though the very poor
and the very rich may not come out In
their 1nery on the 14th Of April, they
at least the latter-will be compelled
TO do 80 very soon after, for In the
natural course Of events the seasons are
bound to roll round, and spring must
take Its turn

Among the things which the tickle
maiden brings with her, it is hard to
pick out her prettiest attractions Per-
haps the flower boas that come out in
new species every day are the most
brilliant OF her collection. The latest
one is made of geraniums in two shades
of red, tied with ribbons to match the
lighter shade and having cream lace
ends in front. over which the ribbons
are draped. Others are made of pecul-
lar flowers that look like oleanders,
and yet others are gladioli The violet
boa threatens TO become common. 1t
was only the other day that l saw a
dusky belle adorned profusely with the
modest flower, She had vio1ets in her
tiny bonnet and violets at her belt, and
the aforesaid violet boa around her
neck. A pretty one for q brunette Is
made out of daffodils.
The finer flowers are very expensive,
and this would make ones millinery
bill very large, were it not for the fact
that the straws are so cheap. One can
purchase pretty coarse straw hat for
one dollar and half, and with little
observation and little ingenuity in
trimming, a hat can be made very pre-
sentable without great expense. There
are not many black straws shown this
spring The black hats are black lace
or net. The straws are nearly all in
colors. A favorite combination Is a
leaf-green straw trimmed with a deep
shade of blue. 1t sounds hideous, but
the colors seem to harmonic very well.
II one clings to the idea of an Easter
bonnet, 1t is not difficult to make one
of those small affairs with a bunch of
flowers and couple of loops standing
out on each side. A bit Of lace wired
into fat piece about the size of the
palm of ones hand makes a crown
and bow of black velvet at the back
with bit of lace or bright chiffon and
bunch of roses or violets, makes a
very respectable hat, as hats go nova
days. A jet band for basis of opera
tions to simulate crown makes a hat
when adorned with velvet bow and
some roses at the back, Just In front of
the high Psyche knot.
Everything in the dress line is made
with round waist. 1t would be diff

Dainty Whole Wheat Gems.

A tested recipe for whole-wheat
gems calls for two cupfuls of the flour
mixed with teaspoonful of salt and
two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Separate
the whites and yolks of two eggs, beat
the yolks light and add cup of sweet
milk, a little at time, beating all the
while. Stir this mixture into the flour,
and when smooth and light add a cup
full of lukewarm water. Beat the
whites to stiff froth and add to the
batter; fold them in lightly and quick

PIRATE $1,000 to Open Shops for Locked

Associated Press Special Wire.
UNIONTOwN, Pa, Dec. 27.-Following the
notice to the $4,000 coke workers en-
ployed by II. G. Fricke & Company of 10
per cent advance in wages, after the first
of the year, the announcement was made
by w. j. Rainey today that he would also
advance the wages of his 1000 employees
10 per cent, to take effect next week.
Tho past three months have been the
busiest in the history of the coke trade;
out of l7,947 ovens in the region, 1901
are in operation, and the prospects are that
more ovens will be fired. The advance in
wages will enable the men to make the
highest wages ever paid in the coke region.
Mr.. Rainey was notified today by tele-
an advance in coke prices. Furnace coke
is advanced to 81. Mr.. Rainey said that
he did not know whether or not he would
meet this advance.
THE TAILoRs' LOCKOUT.
New YORK, Dec. 27.-The executive
committee of the Brotherhood of Tailors
has appropriated $1,000 of the funds of
the union for the purpose of opening shops
for the employees of the contractors sup
piled by Feckneimer, Fychel d Co., in case
the contractors fail to come to time on
Sunday and return to the terms of the
agreement.
This decision was r. ched after stormy
meeting in Ereckheimer & Co.'s office, at
which there were present Mr. Freckheimer
and the contractors who remain obdu-
rate, a number of their employees and the
executive committee of the Brotherhood of
Talors. Mr.. Feckheimer gave the con-
tractors until Sunday to surrender. If they
remain obdura,e he will take his work
away from them.
The executive committee held meeting
in New Washington and came to the con-
clusion that they might as we'll spend
$1,000 in opening shops for the idle tailors
as spend that amount in keeping them.
The plan was ratified at meeting of all
the locked out tailors last night.

LATIN AMERICAN ALLIANCE
To Make Common Cause in Resisting
British EncrOachment
CoE;motion Caused by Report That the
English 1inister at Bogota Has
Been Attacked

New YORK, Dec. 2S.-A special to the
World from Caracas says:
All the Latin-American republics, it is
said, are in a secret league and will join
Venezuela, it is expected, in case of war
against England.
Colombia has responded to Venezuela g
request, it is whispered, by promising to
contributing 10000 troops and agreeing
to give the British minister is passports
unless England consents to submit the
Guiana question to arbitration.
Brazil is to send 100000 men armed
and equipped. Mexico is counted upon to
aid with fleet.
BY calling out her militia, Venezuela
can place 100000 men in the field. The
Venezuelan foreign office is very active. It
will send Immediately extra envoys to all
parts of the world.
A great commotion has been caused by a
1umor that the British minister to Column
bia has been attacked by the people in
Bogota, that England has demanded
f5OO,OOO t$2 ,5O0.OO0) indemnity there,
and that Great Britain will hold the
Columbian customs houses until the
amount is paid.
1t has been suggested that English tele-
phones be removed and replaced by Ameri-
can telephones.
