Very few of the skating costumes
seen ON the Ice have any more than a
fur collar around the neck. Here Is a
pretty suit which came out with that
January cold snap that froze toes and
noses so regardless about week ago.
1t is made of brown cloth with an eight
inch strip Of Corsican fox around the
bottom, On the right of the skirt are
four metal buttons Stimulating fasten-
ing. The fur collar is adorned with
tails, and the astrallhan toque has an
aigrette and chou of cherry colored
satin, which gives just the bright touch
that is necessary In a winter costume.
But when all is said and done, and
though one may have the prettiest cos
tumo IN the world, II one have not
grace and good health one cannot hope
to look attractive on skates.

BILL BERRLL SWUNG FAR OUT INTO
SPACE.

Hold for your life," shouted Ted
Passmore, as, with dozen others, he
ran into the ring to try and seize the
end of the fallen rope as it swished fu-
riously here and there.
Then, as all eyes were turned upon
the figure of the man swinging and re-
volving with dangerous violence in the
air, another cry went up.
Through the second small opening
In the roof q human arm was protruded
an arm whose hand grasped gleam-
ing blade.

ened. The knife had cut one strand.
Crash! Down came q pane of glass.
An iron support gave way, and then,
with a clatter and smash, hole
opened in the roof and the body of a
man fell headlong downtown on the
sawdust of the ring. The body rolled
over, revealing the dead face of Leo
Corello.
A minute later, as hand in hand Bill
Berrill and Rosie stood together in the
ring, thunder of applause went up,
and their fingers pressed unseen as
they bowed their acknowledgements,
and in their hearts returned thanks tc
Providence for the strange passing OF
this shadow from their lives. - Illus.

An Obliging Irish Railroad.

At Westport, on asking why the
train did not start, seeing that it was
quarter of an hour after the time
named for its doing so, the answer re-
ceivcd was: "The engines gone cold"
doubtless during warm conversa-
tion between the driver and some of his
friends-and lady who was in the
same compartment with me and over
heard the remark told me that on the
previous day station master had said
to the driver of n locomotive, Us he
steamed in and drew up at the platform:
"Whcre's your train?" The man had
come without it. l suppose these
casualties cause inconvenience some
times, but they contribute diversion to
irresponsible travel. Moreover, one
sometimes reaps advantage from a
free-and-easy system of locomotion.
When going from Galway to Recess by
the new light railway l wanted at
Oughterard to look at the river, but
feared should not be able to do SO In
the time allowed for our halt. "Sure,
We'll wait for you," said a porter, and
they did. In ireland people like wait
ing. What they do object to is being
hurried. They dislike tedious haste"

The Untimely January Bargain Days and

Now is the time that the poor man
.thrusts his hand into his empty pockets
iand asks himself and the attendant
flutes why things are as they are, and
,wherewithal he Is to be supported for
the next few months while he pays his
christmas bills and makes up the de-

1t Is to be deplored that January bar
gains cannot be postponed till summer

I'm sure there are plenty who will agree
with me. If one takes the merchants

A Delicious Mexican Dish.

A Mexican dish of sweetbreads and
oysters which is delicious is made as fol-
lows: Soak and blanch your sweet
breads, cut them into equal sizes and re-
move the skins and little pipes. Take
about three dozen fine oysters, strain
off the liquor. Put the sweetbreads in
to stewpan and cover with the oyster
liquor; add three large spoonfuls of
gravy of roast veal and quarter of
pound of fresh butter cut into bits and
rolled in flour When the sweetbreads
are done put in the oysters and let them
cook five minutes. Add two wineglasses
of sweet cream, stir up well for few
minutes, and serve in hot dish,

is hung up to tempt the frivolous mind
ed, there is none more fascinating than
the night robes. Most of them are made
without yokes-such as have them are
cheap. There is no visible means of
fastening, but the tiny pearl buttons
are concealed beneath founce of en-
broidcry or lace up the side of the front,
for few of them fasten in front. Some
have long revers sloping into broad
collar and these, of course, fasten un-
der the chin. There is fancy to make
the front slightly low, like q square
Gecked dress, with an embroidery or
lace heading. The sleeves are large and
puffy with a ribbon at the wrist to
draw up the founce that falls over the
hand.
1t would he impossible to describe the
many different styles of trimming. Suf-
flee it 10 say that the more fine tucks,
the more ruffles and lace and embroid-
cry one puts on, the better. If you buy
these fancy garments readymade they
are very expensive, and If you try to
make them there is hard labor before
you. but the reward is in the loveliness
of the result.
Whatever may be said in favor of the
above-described underwear, one is
force'i to admit that 1t is not suitable
for outdoor wear in the winter time.
When one begins to think of skating or
sleigIing or tobogganing, ones mind
turns yearningly to thoughts of union
all-overs and woolen stockings. 1t is
the underwear that must be most care
fully attended to when one goes skat-
ing, for outside wraps are cumbersome
and prevent that freedom OF motion
which is indispensable.

BEAUTY In THE BUSH.
Australian Typos Becom omiug Fa-
nous the World Over.
Girls In the Antipodes Initiate Their
English Sisters-Art, Literature and
Drama Are Regions UnexpIored
by Them.

| A good deal has been written about
the American girl, the English girl and
the girls of other countries; but the
Australian girl, up to the present, has
not come in for much attention. Fer
haps it is, says London Sketch, that,
coming from English stock, she has al
ways been regarded as too essentially
British to be dissociated from the
daughters of John Bull. Yet she is u
distinct species, as different from the
average English girl us the American
girl. In personal charms she possesses
all the attractiveness, but, owing large
ly to the prevalence of sweltering suns
and parching hot winds for eight
months out of the twelve, her face has
not that freshness, that pink, rosebud
coloring which are at once the Joy and
sovereign possession of the English
girl.
But 1t Is in the exquisite contour Of
her figure, in the smallness of her hands
and feet and in the perfect molding of
her features that the daughter of the
sunny south is able to hold her own. If
her face lacks the freshness of the
green fields and pastures of England
there is in it the warm sun of Australia,
which gives to the countenance a look
of perpetual pleasure. The small but
clearly chiseled features of the Austria
lian girl are always pleasant in express
sion, indicating q light-hearted, care
less, irresponsible character under
meath.
The innate shyness of the English
girl has no place in her temperament,
nor does she pay much regard to the
culture, the self-contained dignity, the
gracefulness which sit so easily on the
girls of the west. The unrestrained
spirit of an independent democracy
seems to be ingrained in her. She is
essentially socable; indeed, the life of
the average Australian girl seems to
be made up of a round of social func-
tions-balls, "at homes," parties. She
clevates gossip to a fine art, and in the
little world in which she resides she will
,e possessed of an encyclopedia knowl-
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1896-01-30

edge of everybody figuring in social
circles. She achieves distinction in
volubility. "She can talk, but she has
no conversation" as Mrs. Allonby re-
marked. To her, art, literature, drama
and politics are unexplored regions.
Dress is the dominant note of her char
acter And in this, as in almost every
thing else, she is an imitator.
There is little original about the Aus
tralian girl. England is her fetch, and
particularly the English fashion jour-
nails. She will wear cumbersome and
trailing skirts under pitiless sun, and
with the thermometer over 100 degrees,
il they have been worn in England. And
i'll her affections she dearly loves an
Englishman. She doesn't stop to in-
quire about his character; If he comes
from the old land he has the key of her
heart. But, above ali these super
fatalities, which are unavoidable in Il
new country, rough and uncultured,
there is much that is good and useful
and practical about the Australian girl.
In her domestic qualifications she is un-
approachable. IIard-worlling, indus
trious. economical, capable with her
needle, good-tempcred, and, above all,
generous, the Australian girl makes an
ideal wife.
AS the artistic and refining influences
of the old world become more and more
ingrained in the people of the vast
southern continent, the Australian girl,
by her grace and winsomeness, will be-
come keen competitor with her Ameri-
can cousin for recognition in the social
spheres of London and Paris.

that will either be moth-eaten or out Of
fashion before next winter, and the
endless supply of underwear that gets
badly soiled and shopworn with con.
tlnued handling,
The underwear question Is study,
and there are great many sides to it.
Just as the conservative woman has
succeeded in overcoming her prejudice
against what she considers an innovn-
tion, and has at last adopted the union
suit, she Is confronted with the fact
that the long-loved chemise is the fash
iionable thing and union suits are "old"
Then by the time she gets back to the
lold fashion 1T has become passe The
only way to do is to try both and sec
which you like BEST then stick to It,.
in general, the tailor-made girl pre-
'fers the union suit because it offers no
unnecessary bulk to interfere with the
perfect "fit" Of her dress.
: The girl with ruffies and plaits and
frills above her gown usually likes
them underneath as well. Indeed, even
the tailor-made girl finds It hard to
resist the filmy laces and microscopic
tucks that grace the different articles
of underwear nowadays. Some of the
tucks suggest long seasons in the clois-
ter where those black-yeiled auns stitch
and stitch away at frivolous garments
for the unconsecrated, and then one re-
members the new machines that are
so finely constructed as to lay tucks
Il l. ~
'tucks, alternating with strips of fine
lace insertion, enter the composition of
;chemises, drawers, fine skirts and night
gowns and it is difficult to say which
are the most alluring.
Some find it hard to choose between
the null or cambria petsicoats and those
made entirely of silk. A compromise
which was pretty enough for ball
gown was pink silk with yelling of
tucked white null and lace. Both the
silk and the null skirts run up to fabu-
lous prices, and the cheapest are hard
ly to be had at less than four dollars.
The plain silk skirts have fiounce with
several rows of wire cording to stiffen
them, and these are really more useful
than those made of null, which are so
fine and soft that nobody would think
of starching them enough to fill out
the present dress skirt.
All skirts are gored and sewed to a
yoke that is two inches wide in front
and narrows gradually towards the
back. They fasten with drawstring
as do also the garments beneath. The
last mentioned articles are usually very
wide at the knee with a ribbon run
through to make them as tight as is de-
sired, leaving long flounce below that
suggests the historical pantalet. These
and boomers do not go well together.
The large dress sleeve has given tho
chemise its opportunity. Beneath the
silken Tor woolen) expanse there has
hitherto been vast cavity which Is
now filled with the ruffles and frills
and flaps of the chemise sleeve, At
the waist they are cut so rs to fit the
figure moderately well, and the materi-
al Is usually SO soft that it does not take
UP much room. .

overlook plain statements of their text,

the usual customs. For one thing he
dressed Hamlet in red cloak.
"Why do you do that?" he was asked.
Because red was the mourning color
