The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1896-03-08
How They Pronounce Helena,

The pronunciation of tho name, it is tho
belief OF tho best authorities, is MS the peo-
pie of Helena say it. Helona, Ark, is pro-
nounccd with tho accent on tho second
syllable by tho people who live there, but
they may DO wrong. Saint Helena, an Is
land named after Helcpa, tho wife of Con-
stantius Chorus and tho mother of Con-
stnntino the Great, has undergone n
change, but the people Of Rome called
their empress rs the people of Montana do
tho capital of tho stnte.
Outside of this Pacific northwest few are
ever heard to say Helena. It is He-lo-na
everywhere. 1t Is related by man who
has been there that on tho occasion of q
recent visit TO Boston ho was introduced
to young woman of culture and oduca-
ton as Mr. Blank Of Montana, away out
west.'
Indeed" she said with growing inter
est. "And may ask what part of the
stateP''
From Hol.e-na," he replied, as cul-
tured Montanian would.
She seemed to feel sorry for his dense ig-
norance. "You mean Ho-le-na," she said,
dealing as gently as she could with tho
man from tho west without allowing him
to go on in darkness.
He did not tell her he ought to know
But he felt that way.-Helena (Mon. In

with folded collar and cuffs to match,
mado OF narrow striped or dotted silk or
satin, is for better addition for those of
ampler proportions.
Fashion now permits great latitude with
regard to headwear, and women arc not
obliged to adopt uniformly large or small
hats and bonnets. If one style Is not be-
coming, there are plenty of others from
which to select, and shape, size and trim
ming may be chosen to suit tho individual
with no risk of appearing out of date.
Although sleeves are actually beginning
to diminish little-that is tho newest
and most elegant costume models show
smaller slccvcS-the fashionable skirt Is
still from six to eight yards around tho
foot. However, us soon as tho upper part
of the gown shrinks decidedly the skirt is
sure to decrease also.
Tho ball gown illustrated has a godct
skirt of Louis Seize tafreta, the pink
ground having brochc pattern of bows
and roses in green and pink. The hodge,
of plain pink taffcta, is slightly draped
across tho bosom and has heart shaped
decollctnge. Epaulets of pink roses are
carried across the shoulders, and ono roso
is placed in tho middle of tho front. Tho
short balloon sleeves are tlrapcd by rose
Tho belt is of rose satin.
