all the while just as fast as she posi-

swift motion at the same time to keep
the voluninous gown under control.
The wands used in this dress are very
long, and at the very end Of the dance
she forms the figure Of colossal white
lily. such as could have lived and -four

The dancer not only has to look out
for the management Of her draperies,
but she gives all of the signals and d.

other tap and it is yellow, then red,
then green and so on until the scale Of

Of colors known to man has been run.

Is the hardest thing that do. When I

so hard to me, but when I have to d.

The close coat sleeve Is still promised
for the near future, but all styles and
sizes Of puffs are offered as sort of
compromise between the large and the
small, to win the way for the one which
is not contemplated with any pleasure
by the majority Of women, For the
present at least, women are privileged
to make their sleeves very much as
fancy dictates, as long as they hold
to the moderate in size. A close sleeve
Of lace or embroidery, wrinkled over
silk lining and finished at the top
with short puff Of the material of the
gown, is one Of the desirable styles for
light summer dresses. Frills Of chif-
fon, edged with one row of narrow

tuted for the puff on this sort of sleeve.
Black velvet ribbon seems to be one Of
the revivals in trimmings for their
dresses, and the narrow width is most
used.

as suddenly and as mysteriously as
she came, everybody begins to tell ev-
erybody else just how it is done, ex-
cept a few people who have seen a
great deal during their lives, and will
ingly admit that La Loie has outWit-

They see Miss Fuller from the point
of view of the spectator in front of the
footlights, and the impression received
is that she is mysterious being do
ing marvellous work. but the spectator
behind the scenes has another story to
tell sd i
Once inside of her dressing room this
young woman rapidly dispels all idea
of mystery. While her maid was help
ing her off with her street clothes and
on with her STAGE attire the other
night, she prattled away at a great
rate to a woman who had called on
her there.
"Why don't you ask me how learned
to dance and when, instead of how I
manage my draperies and get my color
effects?' she said with sigh. NO
body has ever asked me that question,
and 1 don't believe that it is because
they know that I really am no dancer
at all and never dance. Why, never
learned to dance, SO there never was a
when. I call my dance the dance of
an actress, a dramatic dance; and it's
very strange to me that no actress has
ever tried to copy me, for believe that
any one could succeed" with a shrug
of the shoulders that belied her
words.
"To begin with, the people in front
think that 1 run out on the stage use
my feet and my arms little, and
with the aid of my color effects and
draperies do my dances with as much
ease as one would walk across the

pretty to look at, there is much to

Very fine qualities of white mohair are
used for evening gowns made with
pretty colored silk Innings, which show
a tint through the white; lace and rib

SHIRT WAISTS.
A Great Variety of Materials and
Prices From rs Cents to $40.


The shirt waist of the season has
developed wonderfully in variety since
the first installment of this necessary
garment appeared in the shops early
in January, and lawn, batiste, and
dainty waists are quite as plentiful as
those made of cambria. These range
from the simple cotton waists which
can be bought for seventy-five cents.
up to the lace-trimmed blouse which
may cost $25 or $50. The long ascent
in price is graded with every imagin-
able kind and price.
The shirt waist proper is made with
a narrow-pointed yoke in the back.
and with or without a yoke in front.
and the collar and cuffs may be of the
same material or of white linen. Dimi-
ties, lawns, and batistes, plain. striped.
and patterned all over in Persian de-
signs, make the daintiest shirt waists.
and these usually have a soft turn
back cuff of the same, and either a
white linen collar of a colored satin
stock with a white piping set in the
edges and narrow satin tie to match
is tied around the neck over this.
Sleeves of these thin waists sometimes
are tucked in one cluster at the top.
or in two, one being well down toward
the waist. Swivel silks, ginghams.
and the heavier cotton cheviots are
also made up into these waists, but the
batistes seem to be the favorites this
season The light colors look pretty
with white muslin collars and cuffs
trimmed with lace. and ecru batiste
waists are trimmed up and down or
across with innumerable frills of mar
row Valenciennes lace. Another style
has yoke of ecru embroidery, with a
frill of embroidery around the edge
Very handsome are the dotted Swiss
muslin waists, lined with silk and
trimmed deliberately with lace and rib
bon. These usually have elbow sleeves
and wide collar of muslin, with yell
low lace on the edge.

of the campaign committee of ten, said
to reporter tonight.
''The state of Texas should be repre-
scented in McKinley's cabinet and John
Grant should fill the position. His
friends are going to urge his appointment
and are going to make such a showing
for Texas for him as to cause his APP
pOintment.
"The movement is one calculated to
arouse the enthusiasm of every republic
can who wishes we'll for the state and
party. The imperial state of the south
has more to gain from the application of
the republican doctrine of protection to
its resources than any state in the Union
