what the wearer or the dressmaker
chooses to have 1t, either small or me-
dunn large.
A late Paris design, by Doucet. is of
bright biege cloth and mauve taffeta.
The dress is decorated with applica-
tions of flowers in white and mauve
cloth, embroidered with white, mauve
and green silk, with branches of the
same shades. Each flower is bordered
with q gather of purl, placed upright.
The skirt is fiat in front and at the
sides. and the four godets are thrown
behind The body is of mauve taffetas,
gathered and blouse shaped In front.
The back is made of small stitched
pleats. forming small acute angles al
ternating with narrow cream Mechlin
lace, gathered. The front is trimmed
in the same manner 1t opens over
broad satin ribbon, covered with
tight drapery of cream Mechlin tulle.
The waistband is of white satin, wider
behind than in front, and ending in
front in two rosettes. The neck trim
ming is of mauve taffetas, covered with
mauve tulle and fastened in front with
a large tulle bow Of the same color.
1t is ornamented by collarette of
white tulle frilllng. The sleeves, which
cline of the big sleeve. They are very
moderate in size, plain on the under
side, and trimmed with stitched pleats
and Mechlin lace alternately on the
upper side, from above the elbow.
Cloth gowns are conspicuous. The
smooth face cloth is the most popular,
while covert coating will be as much
worn this spring as ever. The skirts
remain quite plain, and the godet plaits
are already out of fashion, as they
spoil the figure, being unbecoming alike
to thin and stout people. The trim
bodices often have white cloth or silk
lapels, collar and cuffs--either plain or
braided in a mixed black and blue cord.
Open fronts are coming In again for
coats; they are too good an excuse for
dainty vests to remain very long out
of favor. The newest style of vest is
of white satin or cloth made with just
a little fullness. This Is embroidered
in steel or gold beads In floral design,
entwined with a narrow lace insertion,
Stimulating ribbon.
White serges and twilled flannels de-
pend upon a colored blouse and yellow
shoes for their effect. The fancy of
the moment in blouse fronts is for
stripes.
In the kingdom Of hats and gowns OF
ceremony, as the French say, it is al
most dangerous to enter. Never were
the efforts of the milliners more elabo-
rate or expensive.
The shapes are in general of two
kinds, the turban and the fiat hat, with
broad brlm that turns up in the back.
1t Is a trying style for girls with round
faces, because they can find solace In
neither Hats with Tam O'Shanter
crowns are quite common. Colored
straws are very fashionable and the
favorite tints are bright yellow, green
and violet, either In solid colors or in
combination with black. In trimmings
the popular flowers seem to be roses
red and violets blue" only the roses
may be blue and the vlolets red, with
out any outrage to art as expressed In
millinery. 1t Is remarkable what Ii
cense is allowed the manufacturers Of
artificial flowers.

Sport, however, is not the only form
OF recreation at Somerville and Lady
Margaret. There are the debates be-
tween the halls and the Shakespeare
societies, little teas in the girls own
rooms for special chums, more general
at homes throughout the winter, and
garden parties and all sorts of gayeties
during the closing week Of the summer
term, when the lists are read and hon
ors awarded. Girls may also receive
visitors of either sex in reasonable
numbers, and are often allowed to dine
out with a friend or be otherwise en-
tertained in her house, but that same
friend may not come for her to chap
eron her elsewhere. A chaperon pro-
vided by the hall does that.
Each hall also maintains a miniature
society, governed by the strictest rules
of etiquette as regards calls and enter
tanning among the students. The
"freshy" must conduct herself with
meekness and lowliness of spirit New
er may she dare call on a senior be-
fore that senior has seen fit to call upon
her and take her up in polite society.
Moreover. this grave and reverend sem
ior may leave her card If the "freshy"
is out; but the freshly" may never
leave card under any circumstances.
but must keep on calling in return un-
til she finds the senior in; to leave her
card only would be unparalleled pre-
sumption. Neither may any freshman
presume to entertain, to invite dinner
companion, Or in fact, tender an invi-
tation of any sort or kind, unless an in
innate friendship intervenes to suspend
these laws of social life. No seniors
are ever. ever asked to meet "freshies."
and If "freshies" are to be present at
any spread" or spree the seniors are
so advised beforehand. that they may
stay away if 1t so pleases them. In
short, the freshman's social standing
might be termed modern reproduction
Of that of the medieval Jew-shunned,
snubbed and looked down upon, or
treated with the lofty condescension of
bare and meagre toleration.-Harp
Bazar.

A Thorough Investigation.

1t is rumorek that the commission
appointed by the Governor to investi-
gate the Pittston m le horror is to be
supplemented by an additional section
of three skilled miners whose knowl-
edge of the ramifcations of the i'll
fated twin shaft mine, should be par
ticularily complete, as they were for
years employed as miners in the snaft.
The authorities it would seem are de
termined to make thorough and ex-
haustlve investigation. Place the

belongs and devise means il possible

Hose Reels FOR Engines.

1t is announced that the Pennsyl-
vania company is about to equip its
yard engines with hose reel, ard
they will be fitted up with connections
SO that water can be forced to a con
siderable distance by means Of the
pumps. The hose can be also used
where there are fire plugs and in this
manner the yard crews can success
fully fight fires at stations, bridges,
platforms c. in suburban towns where
there are no fire apparatus. BY means
of telegraph the engine crews could
be notified of fire in an instant, and,
by clearing the track of other trains a
fast run could be made and much
valuable property saved.

The Feet In Summer.

When midsummer heat descends upon
the community even the sisterhood that
scorns all but common sense shoes suf-
fers. Heavy boots are out of the ques-
tion, and thin-soled ones do not seem
to afford sufficient protection to the in
famed feet Nothing but constant care
will save one from the tender mercies of
the chiropodist. The feet should be
bathed at night in water as hot as can
be borne. This will reduce the swelling
and allay the Inflammation. Then they
should be Immediately plunged into
cold water to harden the skin. If they
are still sore they should be rubbed with
witch hazel. In the morning, of course,
they should receive another cold-water
bath. These cure for, and preventives
Of swollen feet are particularly valu-
able for the woman who has to stand
much during the day.

There is a township in Dauphin
county in which there are asa inhabi-
tants, according to the past census,
and fifty voters. In that township
there is no minister, no church, no
Sabbath school, no lawyer, no justice
of the peace, no industrial work of
any kind, and no place where liquor
is sold. There are three grocery
stores and one school house. When
the people want to attend church they
have to cross the river into Perry
county and walk to Duncannon. The
township is Reed. The people are
lawablding and peaceable. There has
been but one case in the criminal
court from that township in the past
twenty-five years. There is not
another township like it in the whole
United States.

For Preserving Flowers.

One having fancy for preserving
natural flowers may do so by dipping
them into melted paraffin. The mix
ture should be only warm enough to
remain fluid. Hold the flowers by the
stems, which should be free from all
except the natr~al molsture, dip them
in the fluid, give them quick turn to
remove the al cells, and place them
in glass until the coating becomes
firm.

Philadelphias biggest taxpayer is

ton is assessed at the two-thirds su-
