IL n all very well to say that we are
tired Of spangles, but the imported
dresses go on sporting them. 1t may
be true that these dresses are the ones
that served last season as models In
foreign parts--your friends who go
over" every year may be mean enough
to say so. but spangles are certainly
going to blaze another year here. Here
In the next picture is dress that fairly
advertises it's own newness, yet the
fronts of its novel jacket bodice show
a very rich embroidery of spangles and
silk. The bodice's material is green
cloth, 1t has fitted back and loose
front, and its basque Is slashed at the
sides. A small vest with plain stock
collar of green silk shows at the top,
and silk soutache edges the jacket.
The full balloon sleeves are of green
silk, a side panel of the same appearing
In the cloth skirt. The latter is edged
with two rows Of gold braid. This
Is much used for trimmings and more
than half of the time In ways that
haven't the slightest suggestion of mil
itary effect. Dainty muslins and silks
are seen set with rows Of gold braid
overlaid with lace, the metal glinting
in subdued effect through the mesh.

to take off the baroness and yet not be
uncomfortably warm. Capes for this
purpose may be richly embellished, II
the wearer likes that, but with dresses
that are not elaborate plain cape Is
in much better taste. In the second
picture a novel cape is shown. 1t is of
the same stuff as the dress, Its medici
collar is lined with fancy silk, Its fronts
are ornamented with buttons and all
fullness is disposed in godet pleats. A
strap through which each arm slips
holds the garment in place. The cos
tune with which 1t goes, or perhaps 1t
is more accurate to say Of which 1t Is
a part, Is made of granite colored mo-
hair. Its wide skirt Is stiffened at the
hem and Is trimmed with fancy strap
and button on either side of the front
breadth. The jacket bodice is fitted,
and it's diagonal front Is ornamented
with buttons. The sleeves are only
moderately wide. All the edges are
machine stitched and the buttons are
tinted ivory.
Among the fanciful capes no sort is
prettier than that that is freely
trimmed with lace. The woman who is
lucky enough to have yards and yards
of lace should not cut it up into short
lengths. Let her mass it splendidly,
row on row, on a velvet theater cape,
and hear the women go "Ah" and then
"Ohv as she sails down the aisle. The
tailor. girl that does not want to be
always wearing coat, finds a pretty
compromise, at the theater, for in

delicate oyster color broadcloth. Each
cape is lined with white satin, and the
high ripple collar that now surmounts
all stocks Is Of pale gray velvet. Still

RINGLING BROS CIRCUS.
This Famous Big Show 10 Now ut
Tattersails, in Chicago.

This Famous Big Show IL Now at
Tattersal1s, in Chicago.
Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows, the leading amusement institution
of the United States, have begun the an
nual three weeks engagement at the I'M
mense Tattersalls amphitheater, 10Th,
State and Dearborn streets, Chicago. Spe-
cial arrangements have been made for the
comfort and pleasure Of out-of-town Wis
itors to the big show, and during the Chi-
cago engagement thousands of people in
the vicinity Of the city will undoubtedly
avail themselves Of the opportunity to
witness the marvellous performance Offer
ed by these great circus managers. The
high character of Ringing Brothers great
show has become a proverb all over the
country, and a program OF SURPRISING
merit may always be confidently looked
for. The performance this year is, how
ever, superior to anything ever offered,
even by these progressive managers. Pre-
ceding the performance there will be an
hours concert by the Royal Hawaiian
band, composed of forty of ex-Queen Lii
uokalanis court musicians. The circus
proper begins with grand spectacular
entry, in which the magnificent process
sional resources of the show are exhibit
ed in dazzling pageant upon the hippo
drome track. The arenics performance
that follows embraces three hundred per-
formers, many of whom have been espe-
cially imported from Europe for this great
show. Among the leading specialists are
the Da Comas, the six Jordans, Stirk,
Zeno and Anita, and other famous aerial
lists; the Nelson family of nine acrobats.
the Ella Zuela and Lu-I In troupe of mar
velous high-wire performers. Mons. Jo-
seph lie Fleur, who throws somersaults
from a platform elevated 40 feet in the
air, striking the solid ground on his hands;
Speedy, the original American diver, who
plunges so feet into tank of water only
three feet in depth; the French Family of
bicyclists and roller skaters; Mile. Irwin,
the human aerial top" Jules Duval,
the unsupported ladder equilibrist; doz-
en- great riders, and many other features,
including Lockhart's famous comedy ele-
plants, the greatest school of educated
elephants in the world. The performance
terminates with a series of exciting hippo
drome races, in which the sports, contests
and displays of the ancients are depict
ed with imposing fidelity. The fine ZOO
logical collection, for which Ringing
Brothers menagerie is noted, has been
greatly enlarged this year and is now the
finest exhibition of wild animals in the
world. The Tattersalls building, the larg-
est structure of its kind in America, has
been reconstructed and beautifully refitted
for this engagement and the introduction
of opera chairs throughout the auditorium
gives it the comfort and convenience of
the finest modern opera house.

Work of the State Convention at the

War against the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic liquors and war against the
gold standard was declared Wednesday
by the delegates to the State convention
of the Prohibition party of Illinois at
Springfield. Eight planks form the plat
form Of the party as adopted, and Of these
two were captured by those who leaned
to Populistic ideas. The first was that
advocating the prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes. Woman suffrage was
placed xe1t. Civil service reform, COM
pulsory education and Sunday observance
were favored. The sixth plank was the
minority report on resolutions favoring
free silver. The majority report on reso-
lutions was tabled by a clever ruse Of the
Populists. When the delegates finally I'M
derstood in what position they were placed
by the weird magic of parliamentary
rules, the majority report in favor Of pro-
hibition, as the dominant issue. was resus-
citated and carried. The scheme was cae

tionists of Illinois for many day. The
seventh advocated national tariff COM

She Sells Her Skin.

Apropos of women supporting them
selves, the most novel method yet
heard Of was resorted to by a young
woman out in San Francisco, who
had the desire to make money, but not
the ability-until year ago, the way
was shown her through her giving
a bit Of her skin to a friend who was
obliged to undergo the operation of
grating. Finding that she could stand
the pain, and that her skin was par
ticulaly healthy, she concluded to
profit by it.
She sent letter to every physician
and surgeon in the city, calling their
attention to the fact that she had
healthy skin for sale! Since then this
enterprising young woman has had
all the orders she could fill at reason
able prices.
She charges 81 a square inch, and
usually parts with twenty or thirty
square inches at time. Altogether she
has had seven square feet of her skin
removed from her body and has now
begun on a second growth.
She is quite proud of the distinction
Of being probably the only woman on
earth who has been fiayed alive.

International v. p. 9, &c.

The general outline of the program Of
the fifteenth international Christian En-
deavor convention, which will be held in
Washington July S-13, has been announc-
ed. 1t is expected that fully 10000 peo-
pie will attend Every morning of the
convention there will lie held at 6:30
O'Clock from twenty to thirty early morn
ing prayer meetings in as many churches.
The formal opening of the convention will
occur Thursday morning in three great
tents upon the white lot just south of the
executive mansion. Those will be called
tent Washington, tent Endeavor and tent
Williston, and will seat about 10000 per-
sons each, including a chorus choir of
about 1000 voices. At these opening ses-
sions, which will be held simultaneously
at $3.50 o'clock, addresses of welcome, the
annual report Of Secretary Johp Willis
Baer and the annual address of President
Francis Clark will be givsp. Thursday
afternoon there will be held about thirty
denominations rallies. The rallies of the
Presbyterians, Baptists and Congrega-
tionalists will be held in the three tents
and the others will be held in large
churches. Saturday will be Outdoor
day." At $50 an open-air praise service
will be held at the Washington monument.
The Endeavorers will then march to the
capitol, where it is hoped brief addresses
may be delivered from the steps of the
seat of Government. Sunday afternoon
an evangelist service will be held in one
Of the tents, and in the other two and in
many churches there will be denomina-
tional missionary rallies. Monday morn
ing the Worlds Christian Endeavor I'm
ion, formed last year in Boston, will hold
its first annual convention.

1t will sew on a tiny shirt button or
one Of those butter-saucer buttons, two
and half inches In diameter, which
women put on their Jackets to-day, and
1t does not add a cent to the cost Of
making the garment.
The demand came for a machine
which would give a larger daily output.
The machines were sewing 1900 and
2,400 stitches minute, but that was
not fast enough to suit the men who
used them. A machine was invented
which sews $500 stitches minute, and
does it every minute it works. 1t is
used on many fabrics, for sewing I'M
derwear and clothing and such work.
Between the double-needle and the
12-needle machines are those which
sew four, six or more, up to twelve,
parallel seams at time. They are
used to sew parallel seams on harrims,
for sewing together the stripes OF flags,
for running up the sides OF overalls
and trousers, and a hundred other
things.
For long time manufacturers were
satisfied with the plain, fat bed Of the
ordinary machine, with such attach
ments and additions as they required
for special work. But some fellow who
wanted something done that apparent
ly was impossible made his cry for
tubular, or cylindrical, shaped bed, SO
that he could stitch around hollow
article, such as a collar box or shoe
vamp.
He got his machine, and then came
the demand for one which would sew
hollow things lengthwise instead OF
around. Now there are no less than
six different styles of machines for
sewing up legs of trousers, high-topped
boots, seams Of shirts, for sewing the
cylindrical part of collar boxes, for
backstaying shoes and for many other
purposes, and new uses are found for
them every day.
Clothing makers shouted for ma
chine to make buttOnhOles, and here Is
one that will cut and make $500 to

chimes did good work in way, but
they did not make buttonholes that
could not be told from the hand made.
No one but an expert can tell the diff
ference between those made by the ma
chine now used and those made by
hand.
The largest sewing machine in the
world is eighteen feet long. 1t is used
in the manufacture of very wide belts
and has one needle. 1t is supplied with
corrugated feed rolls which not only
feeds the material to the needle but
compress the canvas layers together.
One Of the oldest uses to which a sew
ing machine was everput was for sewing
canvas on wood veneers, used for build
ing light, portable houses. The veneer
