Latest in Princess Gowns.
A gray cloth dress just finished for the
horse show illustrates the latest in the
princess gown. The bodice is corded round
and round from the throat to the waist
and below the waist to the hips. At the
hips the skirt is gathered on, nearly all it's
fullness being drawn behind. The close
sleeves Of this costume have double capes
over the shoulders and are corded to the
wrists, where they open in a flare.
A walking dress in brick-red face cloth
recognizes the claims of the overskirt with
out fully honoring them. Black braid is
thrown about the skirt in a bold Greek fret
Just about where the overskirt of bygone
days used to end. A black and white vest
and a little brick-red toque finish a warm
and bright-looking costume.
Another edition of the princess gown ap-
peared at an afternoon club meeting. 1t
was of powder-blue cloth, with a square
ette of cream mousseline, iridescent passe-
menterie. in blue, and gold-edged bib,
sleeves and skirt hem. Blue satin bows
were set each side of the waist to relieve
the hip line. It's odd how shy we fight of

You must admit both for any comprehen-

If there is a tendency to spend little that
tendency must be corrected by such a
boisterous shake-up as shall make today's
clothes impossible tomorrow morning.. In
normal times clothes age by degrees; in
hard times they become grotesquely anti
quated in a night, else they would be worn
forever. For this reason chiefly have
sleeves had their bubbles pricked. have
skirts acquired overskirts, have bodices
crept up toward the armpits, have princess
dresses begun to writhe and turn their long
ughtness, have coats acquired Watteau
folds in the back. have capes grown out in
kerchief-like ends to curls about the waist,
have hats shot up into mountain-peaks in
the crown. have ostrich trimmings been
''cut," instead of sporting their old feathery
plumes.

Henry Clay's Escape.

Fatalities resulting from blowing
out the gas" are generally considered as
due to rusticity and ignorance, but the
Philadelphia Record is responsible for
the statement that Henry Clay was once
in danger of his life from the same
cause.
Mayor Swift of Philadelphia and
Henry Clay were very intimate friends,
and several times during the mayors
administration the eminent Kentuckian
came to visit him. On one of these oc-
casions Mr.. Clay nearly lost his life.
During the first night of Mr.. Clay's
visit the mayor noticed an unusual odor
of gas in the house, and on investiga-
tion it was found that Mr.. Clay had re-
tired without having turned off the gas.
The new illuminating agent had been
lately introduced, and it is not improba-
BILE that Mr.. Clay blew out tho light in
ignorance of the proper method Of extin-
gushing it, Certain it is that had Mayor
Swift not made his timely discovery,
Mr.. Clay's brilliant career would have
been prematurely cut off.
