RA1p1Na THE TREAsuRY.-There
would be something sublime in the
audacity in which Congress appro-
PIRATES money if the waste were not
from q treasury already subject to
deficits. Receipts now run some
$3O,0OO,000 behind expenditure, yet
the House goes on making big bills
and the Senate piles the totals still
higher. The general deficiency bill
has been nearly doubled in the Sen
ate, and if the latter body has its
way, the grand total will be for this
session 1873, $50, 900, or about Sl5,,
100000 more than was ever appro.
priated before by Congress in its
first session and over $3O,O0O,O0C
more than the last Congress appro.
priated at its first session. The fig.
ure just named is for the next years
outlay, but the expenditure author.
lied in continuing contracts is some
500, 500. 900 more, making the total
authorized over $616, 000,O00. Econ.
omy is not thought Of except when il
can be paraded to hamper the ad'
ministration. Spendthrift ways ought
to be reformed.

under the sun is there-but here we
have u point, for if every color is worn,
two at least are most popular. Those
two are heiotrope first, green second.
In size, hats are very large and very,
small. There's the turban, with II
square, boX-like edge; the toque, witt
its fat top; the medum-trimmed hal, &,
with low, square crown; the medium
brimmed hat, with Il high crown; so
high that the eye wearies of the height
of it.
There's the hat so aptly called the
nose hat" which almost touches that
feature if it is at all Romanesque; and
there's the hat which is placed far back
on the head, and caught down on the
sides with chiffon strings, which tie
under the chin. Truly, it is n difficult
maid to please who cannot find among
them all Il bonnet to her taste.
Tulle is everywhere, and certainly
adorns gracefully. There seems to be
a fad to take white leghorn or Milan
hat, plat tulle all about the inner edge
of the brim-full, just as much as can he
massed on, and wide-and then tie this
tulle down with band of ribbon. One
such hat is designed with black net,
somewhat resembling fish net, and
cerise ribbon. An immense bow adorns
the left side. Another had white net,
dotted in black, with turquoise ribbon.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1896-04-23

A large hat has black chip brim, and
steeple crown of yellow. At the edge
of the crown,in the bacll,a beautiful vel.
low bow has perched, as if ready to
take instant flight. At the base of the
crown ostrich tips form an outward
circle.
Flowers are realistic, unless you eX-
cept the green poppies, which are con-
siderably worn. Roses, and clover, and
sunfiowers, and violets are just as ma
ture makes them, or as near as art can
get to it. The colors are startling az
first, but when you grow used to them
you feel that aesthetic coloring is reelly
very, very faded looking-when com
pared to this.
Last season rumor announced that
oyerskirts would be worn. Maid and
matron protested, and Dame Fashion,
like the diplomatic woman she is, re-
called the edict.
In place of the overskirt, she laid
temptingly before our eyes the bro
caded petticoat-and we bit" The
petticoat is worn in all its glory, but
since it is too pretty to be concealed,
we find it necessary to lift our skirts
slightly when wearing the petticoat.
By and by we will object to this, and
patent fasteners will lift the skirt to
keep it from being soiled-and reveal
the petticoat. Next our dressmaliers
will permanently fasten up our skirts,
putting them little higher each time,
until some morning we shall awake TO
find we are wearing overskirts.
But that is a long way off, and in
the meantime we intend to make the
most of our silllen petticoats.
Dresden or warp printed silk forms
the greater number, since that material
is not quite so expensive as brocade
When it takes eight yards of material
for one skirt, the price per yard is a
thing to be considered. The coloring
selected is decided by the gown with
which the petticoat is worn, and, like
all coloring this season, is eXtravagant.
Brocade skirts are unspeakably hand.
some. The blossoms, unnaturally large,
are widely scattered, each one perfect
in itself. One reseda skirt has i'm.
mense tulips, in deep shades, scattered
over it.
Point de Paris and Mechlin lace are
mostly used in the garniture of these
skirts, and none is complete without
Il handsome ribbon bow somewhere
about its anatomy. To make the skirts
stick out around the bottom, the lower
ruflles are corded. This should be done

KIDNEY TROUBLE CURED

The Importance of knowing just what
to do when one is afflicted with kidney
disease or troubles of urinary nature,
is best answered by the following letter
which was recently published in the
Poughkeepsie, n. Y, News-Press:

ceedingly pretty it is, too, when worn
under a grass linen costume.
Moreen makes very useful petticoats,
and may be secured in such delight
full array of colors that one does not
mind the absence of silk. Certainly,
it is the best al l-around material for the

every woman will wear a belt, nearly
every gown will be trimmed with but
tons. Ruches will encirce the necls,
the chins proudly held above a bow of
chiffon or lace. And, needless to say,
one looking down upon the throng
will see mass of hats, a moving flower
garden.
In that great throng one figure will
be noticeable. A tall, supple girl, she
has pointed chin a Ia Trlby, and mid
night hair, which fluffs about the pret-
ty face. As she appears on the horizon
one will catch glimpse of vision in
tan color. Tanfaced cloth is the ma
terial used. The skirt is very full, the
waist blouse with jacket skirts. All
ye maidens who are young and fair,
take second look at this waist, for il
is a design that will be much worn.
The sleeves are large, although not so
aggressive as those of the past season.
and the collar is a wide, stiffened, far
ing one, scooped out in hollow points all
around.
Rows of purplish buttons outline the
seams of the skirt and the sleeves
(Which are gored), and belt of leather,
dyed to heliotrope shade, encrcles the
waist. The jacket skirts fall to IL point
each side the front, the points being
outlinedwith heliotrope passementcric.
At the neck bow of cream finishes the
costume, while the wrists are adorned
with n soft flounce of the same.
But what a charming hat is hers!
OF pale cream Milan, it seems almost
too delicate to touch. Yet it supports
two immense punches of violets, one
on each side, and large cream egrette.
The shape is such as our English sis
ters affect.
Very simp.e, you say. So tits. Well,
but how effective! We'll may the maid
en- be proud Of her selection.
Hats this season are impossible
mean they're impossible to describe.
You can't class them, for there are no
classes. You can't tell about their
shapes, because they are beyond geo
mctrical names. Colors-every color

FAITHFULLY KEPT HIS PLEDGE

Play Cards Again.

\ party of well-dressed men met at
a leading hotel the other night. a game
of poker was proposed, when one OF
them said:

cuse me, gentlemen"

ago." said one,
"Yes, but since that time my mother
died, For years before her death | was

broke her heart, for she had always
hoped that | would make my mark in
some honorable profession. At her
deathbed, three years ago, l promised
her that l would never touch another
card, and have kept my word. never
will"
His companions were visibly affected
by this candid recital, and one of them
said:

will not play poker tonight, suppose
you went into u profession when you
ceased your career as gambler, and |
hope you have been successful"
