From to O'Clock is the time for re-
ceiying afternoon callers in Paris. This
enables men to be included among the
guests, as they havo time to make their
calls after office hours are over, whereas Il
few years age the reception time was SO
much earlier that business men had am
pie excuse for being unsocial.
In the case Of ordinary acquaintance
the duration of call should not extend
beyond 60 miEut The guest who desires
to take his departure usually chooses the
moment when another person enters tho
room or leaves it. In Paris a courtly Gus
tom of gentlemen of the olden time has
been reviyed-tflat of kissing the hostess
hand when it is rendered in greeting or
farewell A man also bows individually
to each person seated in the room II there
are not more than six or seven. II the
number is greater, one general bow is suf-
ficiept. The hostess accompanies ladies to
the door of the room but does not accom-
pany gentlemen unless she has some spe-
cial communication to make.
The evening gown illustrated is of black
velvet and is cut in princess fashion. The
bodice has all extreme decolletage, the top
Of the pieces forming the waist being
rounded and embroidered with gold. The
gown is held up BY two strands of pearls
carried over the shoulders. i double
standing frill of plated mousseline dc
sole embroidered with gold spangles is
placed inside the decolletage. The draped
sleeves of black velvet are gathered togeth-
or in the middle and fall off the shoulder.

too strongly insisted upon that moder-
ately hot iron is the dressmaker's best
friend. Where sewing is being done at
home irons should always be kept hot in
readiness for immediate use, for they
should be employed at almost every stage
of the putting together of a garment.
In pressing open the seams of cloth
skirt or bodice use a not very hot iron and
bear as heavily upon it as possible. Do
not pass it to and fro, as that is apt to
leave a gloss, even on the right side of the
goods, which it does not touch. After one
portion OF the seam is pressed lift the iron
along its length and set it down again,
and so on. Do not Toisten the cloth be-
fore pressing without trying piece of the
goods with water previously, to be sure
that the color is not changed by dampness.
Never put an iron on the right side OF this
goods, oven with piece of muslin between
it and the cloth. For convex curves, like
the lower edge of a standing collar, press
heavily with the iron, drawing the ma
terial at the same time. For concaye
curves like the top of the collar, or for
any place where it is desired to decrease
the fullness, inoisten the c1otia and apply
the iron, allowing it to remain until The
cloth is dry.
The figure in the illustration wears G
gown of coachman's cloth. The skirt is
very wide and is ornamented around the
foot by three stitched bias bands On
each side Of the tabiiea tho banda are
adorned with steel buttons. The halt
long cape of velour du nord is mounted in
large flutes on yoke which is covered by
Il pelerine of sable with a high, flaring
collar and trimming of tails. The toque
of green felt is edged with sable and trim
med with choux OF velvet of two tones,
mauve and violet. A plated aigret Of
green velvet is placed at the left side.

HOSTESS AND GUEST,

reasons why it should be given up. Serv-
ants often make curious mistakes in re-

Disastrous and Fatal Wreck on the

was broken, besides internal injuries.
Conductor John McBean's thigh is
broken, his back wrenched and his

DAMAGE AT DURAND.

Some Narrow Escapes, but No Lives Are
Known to Have Been Lost.
DURAND, Wis, Dec. 2-The ice gorge,
which began at West Newton, on the
Mississippi, and gradually extended up
the Chippewa since Friday, has reached
Round Hill, three miles below this
city. The nearness of the gorge has
forced the water at this point higher
than at any time during the food, al
though the river is slightly falling.
The 10 miles of the Chippewa below
Round Hill is one field Of packed ice,
and the bottom land over which the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road track runs, is completely SUBJ
merged at Round Hill. The river is
fanked by bluffs, which makes gorge
there dangerous to the city, although
the wide bottoms on the west side,
making the river over mile wide at
this point, causes the water to rise
slowly.
Rescued With Didiculty.
AS far as known no lives have been
lost, but those living on the Chippewa
bottoms have been rescued with diff
Guilty. Several families on the Buffalo
county sides were driven from their
homes at o'clock Sunday morning by
the forming OF gorge at Plum island.

THE INDIAN FAMINE.

Situation in the Stricken Country Much
Improved.
LONDON, Dec. A Times dispatch
from Calcutta says: It was thought
in some quarters that the viceroy's re-
cent speeches betrayed an unwarranted
optimism regarding the famine out
look, but the impression is growing
that he was right. Indications exist of
the formation of another cold weather
storm in Boluchistan. If this moves
eastward, as usually happens, further
rain may fall in the Punjab and in the
Northwestern provinces. Clearly prices
have begun to fall in most of the prov
inces, though they are still much above
The normal. Agricultural operations in
Madras and Bombay are proceeding
actively, the rainfall having been
abundant in nearly all districts and the
difficulty of obtaining fodder for pillow
cattle has quite disappeared in these
provinces.

The business portion of Chippewa Falls

merchandise and other valuable goods
that were stored there. Business men
decided to take no chances with the foe
that threatened to sweep their posses

of the day began the removal of stocks
of dry goods, groceries, -four and feed
and furniture. At 6 at night every
business house on Spring street and
Bridge street from the river to Center
street is deserted, and the contents of
buildings has been stored in unoccu-
pied structures in remote portions of
the city, where the food cannot reach,

chippewa river shows no sign of abate-

and the waters are now rising at the
rate Of two inches an hour. The post
office is under three feet Of water and
Postmaster Mccall has moved the Office
seven blocks from its old location. Ten
stores on the south side Of Spring street
are inundated. The stores of Heller &
Jacobs, Jenkins Bros, E. Posnansky,
Weinberg Bros, Goddard & Wilson,
the Goodluck Drug company and the
Mitchell restaurant are under water

of the river will be changed, throwing
it directly on the town, and completely
inundating it. In that event, heavy
loss of property and life cannot be
averted.
