Reports from the farm sales already held

MISS ELLIorTs CLOTHES.

[From the Chicago Times Herald
The beautiful Maxine Elliott. now
playing with Mr.. Goodwin at HOoley'S
is considered one of the best dressed
women on the stage
Her exquisite frocks have formed the
theme for discussion at many a fash
1onable afternoon tea. Miss ElhOttS
clothes are always very handsome but
she is never overdressed. In a recent
interview she is accredited with say
ing:
Il never wear anything unsuitable
to me, even though it be considered
good form. A woman who wishes to be
considered well dressed must first find
out what is and what is not becoming
to her, and dress accordingly. OF course
it does not follow because one looks
well in white satin and SWansdOwn, it
is necessary to wear it on all occasions
for popularity in dress is never in
good taste. Nor can a woman expect
to be considered stylish who entirely
ignores the prevailing fashion. l be-
lieve in following the dictates of fash
ion as nearly as possible without sac
rificing too much of ones own individ-
uality. 1t is not necessary to look like
a French fashion plate to be thought
well dressed
AS Miss Elliott undoubtedly adheres
faithfully to this belief this is proba-
bly, the reason why she always looks
charming. The dresses she wears in
AN American Citizen" have caused
quite a fiutter of excitement among
the gentler sex, and not a few enviOus
glances have been cast upon them.
And those hats-did you ever see such
lovely things? They are nearly all big
ones, for Miss Elliott confesses to haV-
ing a decided penchant for picture
hats, and truly they are a charming
and effective framing for a pretty face.
There are black hats and white hats,
and hats of every description, turned
and twisted into the most unconven-
tiOnal and beWitching shapes, and are
trimmed-wen suffice it to say that
they are fairly loaded with flowers and
feathers and everything required for
pretty hats in the most approved fash

JuDGE KIRK HAYES.

and not the federal government was the
real owner of the land, and the efforts
of the association were directed toward
the state legislature. Judge Kirk
Halves, president Of the Grand Army
Hall and Memorial association, secured
the passage of a bill authorizing the
Soldiers home in Chicago to erect the
memorial on the north quarter of Dear
born park. This was in July, 1889, but
it was found that it was impossible to
raise the necessary funds.
At this crisis the directors of the Pub
lie library came forward and proposed
to join the Grand Army in securing the
passage of another bill authorizing the
erection Of a library building covering
the whole square, in consideration of
which the library directors were to con-
struct in the north end of the building
the memorial hall, which the veterans
did not have funds to erect.
The bill was passed, and the library
association agreed to lease the hall to
the Grand Army at nominal rental for
80 years, after which it should revert to
the library. but was to be kept as a me-
mortal hall forever.
In a most satisfactory manner have
the library directors fulfilled their prom
Use. The hall is rot only the handsom-
est section of the new library building,
but is said to be, without exception, the
handsomest hall of the kind in the
world. The memorial hall and other
rooms cover a floor space of 60, 900
square feet. Besides the memorial hall
there are eight smaller assembly rooms.
The hall is located on the second floor
and is approached through magnificent
corridor paved with mosaic marble and
q grand marble staircase. A massive
door of bronze and mahogany opens into
the vestibule, whose walls and floor are
of marble. The rotunda is 40 feet square,
and from the mosaic floor to the beauti-
full stained glass windows in the dome
is a distance of so feet.
The memorial hall itself opens from
the rotunda. The walls, which are 60
feet high, are sheathed with green an
tique marble ornamented and relieved
by holdings of solid bronze. Enormous
windows, reaching almost from the CELL
ing to the floor, light the room and give
it the appearance of being even larger
and higher than it really is. In the pam
els under the arches over the doors and
windows are army and navy badges.
Around the walls are to be placed in re-
lief the badges of every corps engaged in
the war, while on the west wall will be
large badge of the Grand Army of the
Repub bile, faced on the east wall by the
seal of the United States. The ceiling is
also richly decorated. Around the hall
are placed plate glass cases, in which
will be stored the priceless relics of the
great struggle which are now in the
possession of the Chicago posts or which
are to be collected in the future.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.
TFrom Harper's Weekly.l

i
DR. Nicoll. who came to this country
with Mr.. Barrie, read the American
newspapers while he was here, and au-
daciously admits that he liked them.
He has confessed to the Westminster
Budget that in his opinion no American
institution is more misunderstood
abroad than. the press. He thinks our
newspapers less sensational than they
seem to be, and says, very truly, that
YOU may look in vain in them for SUCH
matter as the divorce reports which the
most proper English papers publish.
Undoubtedly we Americans like the
newspapers we have better on the
whole, than any others in the market;
but we are so continually advised that
our passion for them is guilty, that
while we satisfy it with prodigality, we
seldom attempt to justify or even to
excuse it. so that to hear our journals
praised by visitor excites emotions of
considerable novelty. After all, lik-
ing for newspapers is, like liking for
ones fellow creatures, apt TO concen-
trate itself on individuals. If DR. Nicoll
had been impolitic enough to say which
American papers he liked, his com
ments would have gained in interest
all that they lost in discretion.
