fu1lness slightly overhanging a belt of

is made on stiff net and edged with
lace The combination of epaulets and
bretelles is of white guipure over yell
low satin. Another and more novel
waist is of black chiffon over black,
plated off with cream lace insertion,
and the square sailor collar is of apple
green silk, all in tiny tucks and edged
around with full frill of black chiffon.
The standing collar is Of plated silk. A
pretty bodice for a cloth or crepon gown
shows a vest of brocaded silk and
square collar with sailor effect in the
back of lace embroidered with gold and
edged with fur.
Odd sleeves, different from the bodice
and skirt, are still seen in many of the
gowns. It would seem that about every
thing had been done with a sleeve which
ingenuity could devise, but new models
are continually being brought out. A
stylish sleeve for thicker material is set
off by a shoulder cap of applique jet and
embroidery, and lace ruff1e falling

The she'll penwiper is made with
small clam shells or small round shells
from tho seashore for covers. If clam
shells are used, the dark outside must be
removed by boiling and scraping. The
white surface thus exposed may then be
polished and a flower or tiny landscape
painted thereon. Using one of the shells
for pattern, cut several black leaves
and finish the edges as before mention
ed. Bore hole through the shells near
the hinge aud tie leaves and the covers
together with a ribbon.
For the book penwiper, cut two
pasteboards two by three inches. Lay
them side by side, with half an inch
space between, on a piece of tan color
satin. Cut the satin, leaving half an
inch margin. Outline on one half of the
satin the words "a Friend In Need,

Lay the pasteboards on the satin and
turn the margin down, sticking it in
place with mucilage. Cut a piece Of
cambria a half inch smaller than this
double cover and paste it over the in
side of the pasteboards, thus covering
the edges Of the satin. Prepare leaves as
before. fold inside of the cover, punch
two holes at the back edge of the paste
boards, and with tape needle draw

STRIKING GOWN FOR AFTERNOON WEAR.
lar than they were last season, while
batistes striped with various colors are
especially desirable for summer gowns.
Any thing in bargains among the flower
ed taffeta silks is safe investment, but
crepons are a doubtful purchase. for it is
said that they are slowly but surely go
ing out of fashion. Chameleon silks,
printed velvets and chiffon, and net with
applique designs of lace and embroidery,
will be fashionable materials in dress
for some time to come. Velvet is used
in combination with fur for fancy col
larettes, which will be especially serv-
iceable in the early spring.
Individuality in dress is the special
object in view just at present, and what
is not worn by the multitude is most de-
sired by fashionable women, providing,
of course, that the outlines of fashion
are maintained.
Plain, smooth cloths in various shades
of green, brown and plum are the ma
terials most employed for the latest
winter gowns, whether they are made
by the tailor or dressmaker, and there
is usually a coat of cloth to match lined
with chameleon silk.
Tailors follow the fashion of strap

the coat, and silk braid is sometimes
employed for the purpose.
Elegant embroideries of all kinds,
and especially on white satin, are still a
feature Of all the latest gowns, and
dressy cloth gowns, as we'll as those of
silk or velvet, have touch of embroidery
on the waist.
A pleasing gown for afternoon was
made of blue silk plated off with black
velvet lines. The cuirass shaped front
and draped belt were of plain blue silk
trimmed with fancy buttons. Fan
shaped plaitings of black velvet were ar
ranged on either side, and the wrist
ruffles and bow at the back of the collar
were of cream lace. The fact that princess
gowns are being worn again is pleasing,
especially to middle aged women with
stout figures.
Waists are the objective point of in

Mills. Not MINIS.

More truth cannot he crowded into an
aonoI number of words than is found in
This massage of Maj. Mckinley's speech
in reply TO congratulatory address from
some of his old comrades in arms:
do not know what you think about u.
hut I believe IL Is n good deal better TO open
nm the mills of the United States TO the Ia.
Dor of America than 10 open up the mlnts OF
the United States "a the silver OF the World
This goes hard and straight 10 the
root of the matter.
Times are not dull in Pittsburg because
there is no mint coming silver or gold
dollars in that city. but because the
great iron works are not running on full
time. There was no mint AT work in
South Chicago when the rolling mills
were at work by night and by day. but
there was Il wage roll of S6.OOO.OO0 a
wear Ii was not because Of the activity
of the mints that Louisiana nearly dou-
bled its sugar output. but because of the
Mckinley bounty. Ii was not because
the minis were more active in 1871 than
in 1893 that in the first year men were
striking because they could not earn
more than So per day. and in the last
were hunting for work NJ a. cents, and
for the most part. not finding II. The
minis were turning ont as much money
in 1893 as in 1891. But the mills were
not turning out so many yards of cloth
or tons of iron.
Start the mills and the minis will he.
come active. Return to protection, and
the currency will settle itself.-Chivag &c

The Money of the Constitution.

What wild talk il this of the silver
itcs'" convention, ''in favor of restoring
10 the people of the United States the
timc-honorcd money of the constitution
gold and silver-not oIie. but both!
The constitution prcscribes no such
money. nor any form of money what
ever.
But if it is gold and silver-not one
hut both''-that they want. why are they
not contented now? Both gold and silver
are in circulation now. on equal terms
in larger quantities than ever before
In the twenty-five years since the pioou
curdlng "crime of 1879 was perpetraten
more than fifty times as many SILVER DOL,
lars have been coined as in the eighty
years preceding.
The simple fact is that the United
States has very much larger actual
supply of full legal-tended silver money
than any other country in the world,
excepting India and China. and a larger
supply in proportion to its popuiatloli
than any other. excepting France spain
and Holland 1t has more gold Ill clrcu-
lation. actually, than any in the World
excepting only France. and more proper
tionately than any European country;
excepting Great Britain. France ana
Germany. 1t also has more none! Oh
all kinds in circulation. and all NJ par
than most nations of the world. :,
Less talk and more reflection would
convince these would-be currency re-
formers that we already have what
they talk of as "the time-honorcd money
of the constitution" in abundant supply

20 earn u.-New York Tribune.
