THE VALUE OF BRAG.

It Is Here Set Down Art Worth
 cuItivating.
 A great deal of success in this world is brought about by bragging. Not the indiscriminate, laying-it on with a. trowel, silas Lapham sort, but the deli- 7ate. diplomatic kind, whose manipu- ation is a veritabie art IT is true that just as much has been lost as has been gained by bragging, but that is simply because the bragger has been no artist. The pereeraion Of so great an art works ! great deal more harm than any in- trinsie stupidity the same prin- ,iple that there is no vice so degrading as perverted virtue. The woman who can. however. exploit her doings and savings with truly deft and finished touch. never obtruding, and yet always impressing in just the proper time, is genius, and sure to accomplish her ends, be they social or eoRnercia1. Tomake people aware Of her distinctions in mat sers Of heredity. money or associations IS an art that every woman who hopes to get along in the world should cultivate. With careful handling. conditions quite unimposing in themselves may be made te appear Of the highest value. On the other hand, many a woman has fallen in fray simply because she did not know how to brae-because, although herself perfectly aware of her adyan- tages and honors. she didn't know how to show them off. She held the win nig cards. but she didn't know how to play them and so lost the game. "I can not understand it." one woman re- marked to another Miss F'inesse doesn't really know half as much as sither you or I do. Her education has been the most superficial thing in the world. She really doesn't care one rap for literature or learning, and she rare Y reads anything But she poses as a teritable authority on such things, and. what is more. people accept her as such.' Its because she knows how to brag,s returned the other woman. s.She crams' with the reviews and such easi- ty-digested stuff, and then, without hay ing read thing for herself and minus an idea of her own, she gets off what other people have written and thought. But she is careful to do so just at the proper time and place and in the most effective way possible, and so it passes for the deepest originality. Among the majority, that is to say, of course. you and see through it, my dear, but there are lots and lots of people whom it gulls successfully.

 In substance. President Dole spoke as follows:
 'The government is stronger today than it ever was. and I have no doubt that any resistance which may be ip store for it will be met as effectually as the rebellion of last January. The principal opposition to the government springs from tha Englishmen living here-yet many of them are with us. The natives. too, are becoming recon ciled gradually.

This is not true Of all the tribe; gown from London and a gown from Paris shown in Mr. Kauiman.s spirited drawing are of almost equal simplicity and smartness. Both have plain skirts and low bodice openings. near iy square. The London skirt of straw eolored silk is surmounted by a close bolice-too close, for the Londoners 1aee much worse than their more artistic sisters across the channel-of reddish bronze tint, decl1ed with huge pattern buttons, and a very wide ecru lace collar.
 The French model has cuffs of em- broidery in big daisy pattern conven- tionalized, big bow at the bosom and a strip of the embroidery running straight over each shoulder, by way of variety.
 The London gown. however, has one Parisian touch This is the little V shaped opening at the front of the otherwise square yol1e-a combination Of the square and V forms which usu- ally implies full V opening at the back This pretty arrangement is seen to bet ter advantage in a symphony in green ish blue worn by bronze-haired young nlatron at recent small and early.

ply CT plu1nes that itnd such added charm to the sparkling black eyes and waving raven hair. Broad-brimmed hats with the pIumes massed wei. at the back are more commonly seen than other shapes, though there is still respectable minority of perching birds, their wings spread as if for instant flight.
 The use of feathers on evening gowns is not, I am reminded, an innovation in logic, since town is an old favorite in the fashioR4ng of brave robes, and down is but mass of feathers in minia- ture. The miniature phase, however, is past when one sees small ostrich tips close laid to form trimming course upon velvet gown, and the eyes of peacocks feathers close laid with the iris effect that art cannot initiate but can only adapt.
 Ball dresses are now made dancing length, which sounds like bull, but isn't. For many have been the gala costumes too long for comfort on the floor. Street dresses make fair claim to the praise of the sensible, and this is a blessing; for there is nothing mair

The skirt was marked with huge bows Of dark bottle green velvet, and sim ilar bow upon each shoulder graced the termination of another ribbon, passed quite about the shoulder and apparent ly peeping through slashcs in the lighter silk. A wide band of embroidery whose prevailing tint was yellow defined the corsage opening and tan gloves and topaz ornaments were worn.
 The use of embroidery is very com mon this winter. A fancy for employ ing it in profusion upon the lapels of smart jackets has developed and the brighter the colors and the more auda- eious the contrast, the better. 1t is even employed, it is true, in tints less gaudy, in the yolxes of wedding gowns. And embroidery no longer means nee dlework, but raised designs, by any means produced, which will hit the eye and stun" the beholder.
 Wars and rumors of wars may come and go, but the frippsries of fashions endure. Any prolonged trouble in South Africa would at once cause de- cided rise in the value of ostrich plumes, now in the height of favor. And it might seem to some a thing harder to bear than the strain upon the sympathies of tales of distant suf- ferings and bloodshed.

SHE MADE RESTITUTION.
Awkward Mistake of an Innocent Little

Awkward Mistake of an Innocent Little
 Sunday School Scholar.
 Martha is four years old and has just begun her religious education in the infant class of an uptown Sunday school. 1t is the custom of the teacher in this particular infant class to give each of her small pupils T card con taining short text which the child is expected to memorize during the week. In passing them out she charged each of the children to be sure and keep them carefully and return them the next Sunday, that they might be passed on to the others. Martha is not very careful little girl, and, though fully impressed with the duty of returning the card, she neglected to put it in place of safety, and even before she had reached home she discovered that she had lost it. The thought worried her considerably at first until bright idea came into her head, and, strange to relate, it stayed there all the week. She said nothing to her mother about the lost card and the next Sunday went off to Sunday school happy as usual. The lost card was not troubling her inno- cent little conscience. The infant class assembled and the teacher called on the children to return their cards. When ii came Martha's turn she rose up and said timidly: q am very sorry, but lost my card before got home. have brought you one of my own, which papa gave me to play with It is much bigger and prettier than the one l lost" and she placed it with the rest.
 The young woman who was teaching the infant class stared in mute aston ishmcnt, while several unregencrate adults in different parts of the class room bit their lips to keep from laugh ing. The card which little Martha had rendered was a somewhat dilapidated queen of Buffalo Express.

The slashes are picked out with pearls around the edges and really are pretty enough to make us thank mediaeval times for bequeathing them to us. along with the bodice yoke and the fashion cf embroideries and hair fillets and other things good and old. The seasons tolerance of the unusual is shown in the occasional use of brocaded stuffs with flowers often some shades away from white. And these brocades are appropriately made up in the styles of the Louises. Or the time of the most unfortunate of all the Louises may suggest saintly white fiehu of chiffon such as Marie Antoinette wore; or the more prosaic fancy of another century, end may dispose us to receive with fa- vor a white coat that, with it's short, wide basque skirts and wide revers suggests a very literal sailor woman rather than the trembling venturer up- on figuratiye matrimonial seas.

 The Kanakas, as the natives are called, are easy going and apparently perfectly content to live on "poy''-an extraction from the faro root which, when cooked, forms a thick paste, eaten by putting the fingers into it and then sucking them.
 Although the natives, when asked what kind of government they prefer, would invariably answer: Me vote our queen" not one of them for mo- ment would think of asserting that wish by force, except in a feeble way under the lead of some white adven- turer. And though they favor re- establishment of the queen in prefer ence to the continuance of the present government, everyone with whom I have spoken would like to have his country annexed to the United States.
 The Americans, who form the back bone of the population. have but one wish, that these islands, beautiful as a necklace of sparkling diamonds, may at last be brought to adorn Columbia.
 A few of the planters are opposed to annexation for the reason that it would prohibit the importation of contract labor from China and Japan, without which they say the industries cannot he cared for successfully.

 To this the president answered.: "If universal suffrage is to be extended upon this question it is hard to tell what would be the result.

If we are not annexed now we shall simply wait patiently until another adminis- tration secures the reins of govern ment, when we hope to be admitted into the fold of the union."

It is dark because the en- tire kernel, not merely the white starehy part, of the grain Is used. \ person who has had an experience with this four says it is much better stirred as stiff as it can be beaten than kneaded The same correspondent al- lows a coffee cup full of lukewarm water, a teaspoonful of sugar and the same amount of butter and a saItspoon- fu1 of salt to every loaf.

The skirt was made very full without trim ming other than the delicate pink flow CT woven Tn the goods. The bodice was of dark-green velvet with round waist and front of the pink satin covered with the mousseline de soie, held in place by bands of cut jet; jet also fur nished the point of the bodice in front, and lippled in cascades of beads over the front breadth of the skirt. Ghe sleeves were of the green velvet, with big epaulets of the striped green and pink weighted with jet. Instead ct a collar, two fan plaitings of the striped velvet menaced the ears on either side, and from the pink-lined sleeves a full ruche of shade lace dropped over the hands.

Use of Mufiers.

The Inuifier, though it has it's uses, is more remarkable for it's abuses. Women swath their throats at the beginning of September and keep them swathed un- til May in various sorts of silken things and wonder why they are 'predisposed" to cold. The truth is that the constant use of the muffier makes the throat ten der.
 The mufler is intended not for or dinarily cold days, but for occasions when extra protection for the throat and chest is absolutely necessary. When one has substituted a light weight or low-neclked evening bodice for heavy woolen one the muffler be- comes necessity. Pale-colored liberty scarfs are favorites for evening wear. Warmer hues and heavier material are preferable for or dinary street wear.-St. Louis Republic.

 One needs to be in Hawaii but very short time to be convinced of two things-frst, that the monarehial rule never can be again established; sec ond, that there is 8 strong sentiment among all classes in favor of annexa- tion. It is at once evident that the part to be played by the natives in the future is insignificant. Why? One req son is that they are rapidly dying out. The demon of alcohol is playing more deadly game with them than cholera few months ago. There are now only about 3o.0oO of them left, which number constitutes less than one third oe the population of the islands.
