by ribbons run through the open work lace,
aud fastened in bow on the top of the arm.
In the same way the collar is drawn in at
the throat and fastened in a full bow in
front.
When the tan-tinted batistes are used the
lace matches in color, while the ribbons may
be of any shade desired. Robes de chambre
of silk are dainty enough for princess to
wear. They are made in the Mother Hubbard
shape, with deep oval yokes, all lace inser-
tons set together with narrow satin ribbons,
ending with bow at each row, and edged
all about with deep frill of lace. Some
times there is O collar in sailor shape, or
one set together in deep points, made of
white mousseline de sole, set together with
tucked frills. Jabots of lace reach from
throat to hem, with here and there full
knots of ribbon.
A wonderfully lovely robe of Empire silk
IN pale rose pink and white stripe an inch
wide is made up with pelissed frills Of white
mousselinc de sole and tucked yoke of the
same. Yellow, in the pale, soft shades. is
a fuvorite color for brunettes, but is worn
beautifully by pale-skinned blondes as well.
Full choux of satin ribbon in babe width are
tucked in among the frills with pretty ef-
feet.

FOR DAINTY DINING.

fOTHING edible should be placed upon
nj the table save the fruits and fancy
VI confections. The fruit may be con-
tanned in glass, silver, or china.
Sevres and Dresden porcelain show
garlands of blossoms held By true lovers
knots of blue ribbon separated by bands
of turquoise blue, apple green, Dubarry
pink, or pale heliotrope. Jewel decora-
ton in raised figures, initiating gems, is
rich and snowy.
Dresden, with the tiny detached bouquets
so characteristic of this china, is greatly
liked. Sevres is too expensive for most
purses, and is, indeed, fit for royalty.
Many of the inexpensive English porce
lains are charrningly decorated and make
almost as good a showing on the table as
more costly ware.
Apple green picked out with gold is one
of the newest coIorings. In fact, green
china and giassis a recent fad. Fernleaves
strewn on ground of ivory white have a
charming effect.
The luscious Tokay grapes, the golden
oranges, and purple piums may be J, laced
in separate dishes or heaped in an i'm
mense bowl In the center of the table. Odd
shaped dishes and baskets hold the uainty
bonbons.
Candles and lamps play. an important
role in table decoration, Gld, needless to
say, they and the flowers should not be
at odds. Yellow and pink are among
the best colors by artificial light. Red
is warm looking, but has become rather
common. Green is extremely fashionable,
but green-shaded lamps are trying 70 all
those with but the freshest complexions.

ITf HERE one woman will defy super

Wv nonsense" three men will say
the same, and yet take every pre-
caution to avoid incurring the pos
sible risk. or course, they always invent
elaborate excuses for so doing. at isn't
that believe in any such twaddle, they
will say, .'but really do it for such aud
such reason" The safety of the tall hat
is invariably the excuse put forward for
lodging the ladder, and the rooted dis
like OF men to begin any undertaking on Il
Friday is always acribed by them to the
fact that "it is no use going out Of ones
way, don't you know, to offend other peo-
PIES prejudices.'
Even il men do not take the initiative

quite easy to make the stoutest of them
uncomfortable by choosing some special
moment to solemnly warn them against de
flying fate In any of these ways. The bray

on his wedding day. and there never yet
was one who would not humbly perform
the most foolish rite rather than run the
risk of bringing i'll luck upon that wonder

A PRETTY ROMANCE.

T IS interesting to learn that that fair
and youthful Juliet, Julia Marlowe
Taber, had romance worthy OF her
i in her courtship. Mr.. Taber was the
leading man of the company in which
Miss Marlowe was starring. He played
Romeo TO her Juliet, and it soon became
apparent to the astute manager. Mr.. Stin-
son, that the part was particularly con-
genial to Mr.. Taber. whereupon. seeing

had Mr.. Taber out of the company, and
another leading man substituted. Where
upon the willy Miss Marlowe began to act
Rosalind and Juliet so that she was in a
fair way to lose her reputation as an ac-
tress. Finally, one day, when her COM
pany was in Philadelphia, and the one in
which Mr.. Taber was acting was nearby,
there was a wedding, and Mr. Stinson
learned that his maneuvers had been in vain

WRINKLES.

Hf RINKLES are not always sign
NNf OF age. Wesee quite young girls
Wv with lines across the forehead.
Repeated lifting of the eyebrows
every moment will cause them
to come, and constant frowning will pro
duce the horizontal lines which form Ee-
tween the eyebrows. Prevention is bet
ter than cure, therefore women should be
careful not to allow these habits to grow,
as nothing makes woman look old SO soon
as lined face. Sitting up late at night
reading should not be INDUCED in, as this
is a fertile source of the much dreaded
"crows' feet" round the eyes. Ill-health,
over-study, Or worry will bring wrinkles.
The best way to treat them is to antici-
pate their coming. and form hygienic and
tonic method of life, and try to cultivate
a happy aud hopeful disposition of mind.
Try to avoid worrying over trifles.

Ho!" but 1t is very interesting. and one of
the highest aim. Girls are also advised to

A CORSET CRUSADE.

" HEne ws that the French Academyof
Medicine has started q crusade
against the corset, says the New
York Herald, will wake thrill Of
Joy In the hearts Of the army OF
common sense" enthusiasts. How often
have they inveighed against the ''relics Of
the middle ages and barbaric ideas;" how
they have beaten their wings against the
stone wall of custom without making any
impression. But when the French take it
up there is some hope, and new courage
will be felt by the adherents OF the health
waist" and the health reform style OF gar
ment which needs no corsets to make 1t
'set" properly. If the Partisan dress
makers and fashion autOcrats can be in
duced to espoUse the cause Of comfort
and common sense there is hope of Amer
lea followin in their sacred footsteps.
The eruffledandlacedaud wasp waisted
maiden has had her day, aud heigho for
the bloomered cyclist and the ways of
health.
This desire for athletic glory carries with
1t necessity for home and gymnasium ex-
ercise, too, and even Paris has taken it up,
and society of French women has been
formed for the purpose of waging war
Here In America our girls have long ago
copied their English cousins in that one
point OF sensible exercise, and gymnasium
practice is no new thing. 1t is between
the ways OF dressing that the differences
lie.
Every gymnasium teacher tells the same
taIe-of the difficulty of persuading the
fashionable young woman to leave off her
corset even during her hours of exercise
This was much worse some years ago The
sensible idea has been gradually instilled.

DON'TS FOR ENGAGED GIRLS.

n ONT make an ostentatious display
OF your engagement ring.
Don't fail TO try your hardest
- to win the favor of your pros
pective mother-in-law. Let her
very soon see that her son has chosen
girl after her own heart for wife.
Don't expect all your friends to think
al much of your fiance as you do.
? Don't let him spend his money too freely
on flowers and sweets for you. These
may be trifles in themselves, but they
mount up in the long run.
Don't be jealous If he casually admires
another pretty girl.
Don't always have your own way. Al
low him to have his once in while. 1t
will break the monotony of the thing, If
nothing else.
Don't feel hurt and aggrieved If his
letters do not arrive with the same un-
falling punctuality with which yours are
dispatched. Nine men out of every ten
dislike letter-writing. Make up your mind
that your lover is not the tenth one.
Don't expect him to spend every minute
of his spare time with you. There is
such thing as being too cxacting.

BlackheadS.

The simplest and surest remedy for
blackheads is the bathing Of ones face
every night with very hot water, drying
it with soft towel, and then rubbing in
very gently some cold cream, perfumed or
not, as yoa fancy. In the morning wash
your face well with hot water and soap,
and then give it bath in tepid water, so
that all the soapsuds may be removed.

were so fashionable. OF course, one thick

only two or three thin ones they would
really look very handsome il barred across

cheaply be done by working teweler,
or the stick could be mounted with silver

suspended. A plain umbrella could be

Resulting in the Unions Failure
and the Killing of Five
of It's Men.
A SCRAMBLE FOR OLD PLACES
Strikers Will Be Taken Back Where
Discharge of N W Men Is Not
Necessitated.

LEADVILLE, CoLo., Sept. 27.-The
great miners strike, which has kept Lead
vile in turmoil for nearly two months
and which resulted in the killing of five
men last Monday, and the subsequent
placing of the city under martial law, is
ended. A meeting of the strikers was
held last night under the supervision of
the militia, and after a stormy session it
was finally decided that the men return
to work at the old schedule prices, provid-
ing that the mine owners would agree to
give them their old places. A committee
OF five was appointed to confer with the
mine owners, and it is generally believed
that outside of the one or two mines that
have started up with non-union men, the
old men will be taken back.
The strike was the outcome of the or
ganization of the miners by the Western
Federation of Miners, and as every min er
was union man their demands were re-
fused. The miners asked So cay for all
classes of workmen, including surface and
underground men. This the owners de-
clared they would not pay and nearly all
of them closed down, several even allow
ing the pumps to stop. The EN- pIoyers re-
mained willing to continue paying the
wages which had prevailed up to that
time. Under this scale surface workers
were paid only 81 80. Practically the only
change the union demanded was the ad-
vance of these men to So.
