Black and white effects again figure
largely in the domain of both fashion
able dress and millinery. Black and
white silks, satins and brocades Just
brought from over the sea are set forth
by leading importers. Black and white
taffetas, surahs, failles and other fancy
silks and libesty textiles appear. Black
and white checks and plaids are being
formed into stylish spring costumes
by the fashionable dressmakers, and
Frenchwomen are now wearing black
and white satin brocade shirt waists with
their stylish black cloth skirts. Waists
Of black and white or gray and white
stripes or dots are always good style,
whether made in the manner of the cot
ton shirt waists or with full fronts
turned back with white revers over q
tucked chemisette of fabric to match.
A full blouse Of cream white silk or
satin, covered everywhere with a dra-
perry or yelling merely of jetted black
net, often proves the most becoming of
all waists slender woman of indiffer-
emit complexion can select. Sometimes
cream ribbons matching the blouse are
the most satisfactory additions she can
make to the waist; again, a bow of

ruin, but he seoffed at the idea that the
Prussians would ever invade French
territory.
But one fine summer morning Bois-le-
Due was startled by a sound of martial
music and body of Prussian soldiers
marched through the town. Up the hill
went the Prussians, and there before
the old chateau the order to halt was
given. The old soldier had seen their
coming and had prepared. according to
his own ideas, to receive them. From

but she gave no sign of her alarm. See

Aarie's winsome manner had touched

Marie watched the Prusslans ride
away, and when they were well out of
sight, she let Captain Charles out OF
his narrow Kidding place. He had
heard all that passed in the cottage,
and he kissed Marie and called her a
brave girl. Then he departed by the
road opposite to that which the Prus-
slams had taken, to join his men at their
meeting place in the forest.
Marie was the pride of her parents
and the heroine of the town when her
story was made known. And in the
depths of the forest. when the franc.

A Hawaiian Incident.

IAN interesting incident happened
when was In Honolulu" said Senator
Morgan recently. You know the ma
tives are magnificent swimmers. They
take to the water like ducks. One day
n cargo of mules was being carried on
a barge to steamer lying off shore,
when one of the mules jumped over
board and made for the shore. When he
landed on the beach he looked around.
and seeing all the other mules being
carried toward the steamer he went out
into the surf again and started In the
direction of the barge. After he had
gone some distance great wave came
along and turned him over. When he
righted himself he was absolutely wild,
and blindiy headed out for midocesn.
The men ON the barge watched him for
a while. and then the captain asked IL
1t was proposed to let the animal
drown. Quick as flash one of the
Kanakas sprang overheard, swan at d
tangent to intercept the mule, and
reaching the animal. climbed upon his
back, and by clever tactics directed the
animal to the steamer, riding him like
a centaur IN the water all the way
