the present Indications. but the woman
that will buy a cotton dress pattern
now must have courage and confidence
enough to start out to whip England
single handed. Still there's no fun in
sewing In summer, and that must be
the cause for women's buying July
dresses in January, for they really do
it, beginning the planning Just as soon
as the holidays are over and the debts
they leave are paid. But there's enough
of winter left to make timely the con-
sideration of dresses now worn. Look
the fashionables over and there'e more
fun than cotton in sight. Indeed, the
swagger woman wears fur collars n
lot more than she ought to just because
they are so pretty. The trouble is that
when the weather all of u sudden be-
comes severe she can't make herself
warm, no matter how tightly she draws
that collar that ought not to have been
worn till there was really need for it.
This RELOCATING the wearing of fur 20
such times as 1t Is really needed Is
severe doctrine, especially for the wonl-
an who has put her all into n coat or
cape, but 1t has sense to support it.

garnished this model, and it's maker
pointed out that it was susceptible Of
adornment by all sorts of lace and rib
bon Jokes, chiffon fichus, etc. This Is
quite true, and n plain satin belt would
relieve the look OF severity ut the waist,
too.
Small Is the effort ut plainness made
in the bodice OF the final picture. 1t
has a small ripple basque, and Is en-
broidered ut either side Of the plain
vest with green silk soutache braid.
Emerald green velvet gives the jacket
parts, which are short and loose in
front and have small tabs falling on the
tan cloth basque. The high collar Is
wired, and lace jabot with silk stock
collar are added. Sleeves and skirt
are of the tan cloth, both being per-
fectly plain.
Very serviceable petticoats Of blue
denim are made full upon yoke. There
is pretty rufile at the hem, the. light
side of the denim being turned out,
and rows of white braid finish the ruff
fie. The effect is pretty and trim, and
the skirt not only washes without in
jury, but II does not need starch and Is
almost as warm and light rs flannel.
Denim comes In other shades than the
plain, well-known overall blue, SO there
is chance for display Of taste. As to
outer skirts, there is little change. The
generally accepted sort sets out pref
tily and smartly. from the waist at the
back, and there are couple Of flutfng
folds at either side, but In front the
general effect is of slight fare and not
of swirling fold. Some skirts are made
with series Of pipes nll around, but
these pipes are dependent for shape on
IN under cording or tapping, and we tave
too long been happy In skirts the hang
because they were made so, to stand
the bother of ever-getting-out-of-
tapes. The width varies all the way
from Ave to eight yards.

ment, which may be worn with any
sort Of a dress. This same idea is car
r,ed out In lace, only the front piece Is

ed. Another accessory to an ordinary

sion. Is 4 sort OF sailor collar, the ends

made Of n material to contrast with the
gown, so will adapt themselves to diff
ferent gowns. Then little handsome
stuff goes a good waw when it is re-
duced to series Of panels. These start
from the belt and extend to the knees
or to the hem. Panels to correspond
ornament front and back of the bodice
and extend along the sleeves. The
rest OF the dress may be as simple as
you like. The effect approXimates the
elegance that is supposed to mark the
fashion of the day, and, in this case,
does so at small outlay.
1t seems odd nowadays TO see dress
that fits tightly and smoothly in front,
but the dressmakers are constantly ex-
perimentiIg with view to hitting up
on something that will be so well liked
as to bring about a general change, and

American Liner st. Paul in Trouble
at Long Branch.
1t was during a spanking race to make
New York port ahead of her fleet rival,
the Cunarder Campania, that the Ameri-
can liner st. Paul ran her nose 100 feet
into the white sands of Long Branch
Friday at midnight. Stories differ about
the Campania, it being declared and de-
MED that she, too, ran aground, but was
able to release herself. The stranding of
the st. Paul, it was learned when her
passengers arrived in the city at o'clock
Saturday evening, occurred at the close
of seventeen-hour race, called off on
account of the heavy fog. This is vouched
for both by Captain Walker of the Cam
pania and the passengers of both ships.
Walker came near going ashore himself
off Elberon, but was warned by the men
of the life-saving crews and dropped an
Choir in time to save his ship. 1t is possi-
BILE the st. Paul cannot be floated in time
to save her.

towards spies and rebel sympathizers, but
lenient towards those surrendering under
arms; he will endeavor to establish an
efficient blockade to prevent the landing
Of arms and ammunition from the United
States; that he will not be sanguinary,
but will deal justly. He says that two
months ago it would have been easy to
suffocate the rebellion; now it will not be
so easy on account of its spread. But he
promises satisfactory results in the flu
ture. The same dispatch reports that

and the plain skirt is or tan cloth satin
lined. The muff here is OF marten, Of
course, and is worn without ribbon or
chain, which is the usual way Of car
rying muffs this year, but when the
dress is of somber sort 1t may be en-
livened by using ribbon and n SNOWY
one. Sash ribbon with dresden figur-
ing in bright colors is then used and is
tied in a big many-looped bow at the
back of the neck. The effect Is much
resorted to in skating costumes, and in
some cases the bow has streamers that
float back as the skater skins the ice,
adding much to the picturesqueness Of
the rig, at small effort or outlay.
All the talk about the modification Of
sleeves does not seem to affect the
sleeves worn in the least, and woman
may use her odd six yards to make a
stunning pair of sleeves. The rest of
the dress may be just as plain as can
be, and the result Is not only dressy, but
1t Is gained in a manner that has the
sanction of good taste. Collars made
yoke shape, and held on the shoulders
by straps that pass to the belt, are
made Of lace, velvet. fur, Of anything
that is not the material of the rest Of
