gings are always worn, or should be,
with the short skirts. Some ladies do
not approve of short skirts, even in
rainy weather. These are those who
''wear three and half narrow" but
are always obliged to buy fives, and
they don't like to give away the secret
of the real size of their understandings.
may as we'll describe one of these
walking suits 1t is of dark, deep blue
cheviot of narrow vale. The skirt
reaches to the top of the boots and has
four rows of tailor stitching in black
saddler's silk about foot from the bot
tom. There were two pockets in front,
with stitched pocket flies. There was a
REFER coat, with pockets and wide
fur collar. A little stitching crossed the
bust in form of yoke. The REFER was
lined inside with red plush.
In the direct contrast to that was an
other dress-this of dark gray cloth. 1t
was made with a skirt touching the
ground all around, which made it neces-
sary for the wearer to waste her
strength holding it up off the ground.
The waist was in a blouse design, with
round silver buttons along the straps
and also down the sides as finish for
two long points of velvet in a darker
shade. There was a very short plated
and braided cape. Another walking
dress, while very handsome, was still
open to the same objection as to length.
This was made of prune drap 'ete,
handsomely embroidered in shaded silks.
Around the bottom was wide band
of Bordeaux velvet, bordered with a
narrow band of grebe. The basque was
of the velvet, trimmed with narrow
rolls of grebe. The figaro and sleeves
were of the drap d'ete, and both were
embroidered and bound with grebe.
It made a superb costume, but as no
woman is blessed with more than two
hands it requires a giants strength to
hold up the heavy folds. Talk about
woman s weakness, I'd like to see the
man that could walk the street all day
holding his overcoat behind him with
one hand and II parcels and purse
and umbrella in the other. And that
isn't the worst of it. But I will let
some one with more courage than l
have tell the rest.
Ball and evening gowns grow in
beauty and sumptuousness all the while.
For some very young ladies, though not
exactly this seasons debutantes, there
are some gowns made good enough for
the queen of Sheba. One very original
design had the skirt and sleeves Of
changeable peau de sole, the colors be-
ing emerald green and russell brown.
The skirt was plain. The sleeves reach
ed the elbow in wrinkles, with funny,
stiff little puff at the top. The waist
was square in the neck and made en-
tirely of salmon pink silk null laid in
very close plaits. The belt, a band
around the square neck and three straps

NOW FOR BIMETALLISM.
The Intern ational Conference Bill
Passes the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-By the de-
cisive vote of IS to 4 the senate
passed the bill for the appointment of
commissioners to an international mon
etary conference: The closing debate
brought speeches, including those of
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts Mr.. Villas,
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, Mr.. German,
Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Carter of Montana.
1t disclosed that little opposition existed
against the bill, the only division being
as to the question of seeking bimetal-
lism through the medium of interna-
tional agreement.
Mr.. Hoar's speech attracted attention
and was one of the most noteworthy
utterances of the veteran speaker made
in recent days. He spoke of his OBJ
servations in Europe during last sum-
mer, his agreeable discussion with
Mons. Meline and Bourgereau in Paris
and Mr.. Balfour in London on the adj
vance of bimetallism. Mr.. HOar eX-
pressed the conviction that the four
great nations, the United States, Great
Britain, France and Germany were fast
and inevitably tending toward bimetal-
IiSn.

MELTON TO GO FREE.
Spain Decides to Liberate the Com
petitor Prisone rs.

Washington, Jan. 3O-The prisoners
of the Competitor, who have been Ian
Internationally released, by order of
the Spanish government. Aside from
the general interest attaching to this
information. it possesses a decidedly To-
cal flavor for Kansas people, as one
of the prisoners, Owen Melton, halls
from the Sunhower state.
The Competitor was captured last fall
by the Spanish as a flibuster and the
crew were taken prisoners. They were
tried by drumhead court martial and
sentenced to be shot Before the sem
tence could be executed Secretary Olney
addressed a pefemptory demand to the
Spanish government that the Competi-
tor prisoners be given a civil trial. The
Spanish government took the matter
under adviSement and concluded to set
the prisoners free without condition.
Minister Taylor has notified the state
department that the men would be re-
leased in the course of ten days.

MORE CHILDREN DEMANDED
A Plan to Compel French People to
Rear More Children.

London, Jan. 3O.-The National Ali
of France, founded by DR.. Bertillon,
chief OF the municipal statistic depart
ment of Paris, in view of the alarming
state of the population of France, as
shown by the recently published CEN
sus is discussing a curious proposal
from M Meline, the French premier,
with the view of coercing parents to
increase their families.
The plan proposes that government
scholarships in schools, lyceeS, and
academies shall only be given in the
case of families of not less than three
living children and that all government
posts unless requiring special qualifica-
tiOnS or faVOrS like tobacco licenses,
concessions in the colonies, etc, ETC.,
shall be similarly given and that pro-
motions and allowances be regulated
according to the number of children.
The proposal is meeting with serious
consideration.
DR.. Bertillon, early during the pres
ent month, said that the result of the
census is simply appalling and that I'M
less miraculous change for the better
takes place France will soon diSa ppear
as a great nation. Germany, in 1871
it appears, had about the same popula-
ton as France, but today she is credi-
ted with having IA, 900, 900 of inhabitants
more than France. Then again, during
the last five years the population OF
Germany has increased by 5000, 900
while that of France in the same period
has only increased about 125,O00 Final
ly, it is shown that in 1873, the number
of young men on the lists of military
service was a bout the same in GERMANY
and France, whereas today the number
OF German cOnScripts is $50, 900, while
the French conscripts only number $780,
