it more desperately than ever. Black
cloth and satin skirts for street or re-
ception wear are already shown with
two or three frills Of white at the hem
The satin skirt had the frills Of black
with the heading of each frill under a
cord of white. 1t looked as if a petit
coat had become loose, but it is con-
sidered just right. The black
cloth skirt was lined with
white watered silk and had
three little frills Of white silk on
the outside Of the skirt at the hem.
Piping with white satin on black cloth
or satin, and making black grenadine
weaves over white silk, are some OF
the newer ways Of showing favor for
black and white.
All light shades are set audaciously
near black. A dove gray gown OF Ia
dies cloth had one deep lace frill at
the hem, another at the knees and
the pouch of the bodice was simply
running over with narrow black lace
frills. An evening gown of ivory pink
that is, blushed ivory-had a
pouched surplice bodice. The cross
under side was heavily frilled with
black lace, each frill having cleaning
heading of black satin. The trained
skirt was lifted at one side to show

touching each other at the waist, and
gradually parting, form a trimming
down the front of the skirt, ending In
immense quadruple bows of satin rib
bon, which must be stabbed through
with diamond buttons or clasps, or,
another way, as the cookery books say.
line the lappets with velvet or satin Of
some bright color and turn them into
bretelles, crossing the shoulders and
meeting just above the waist, back and
front. Should any one wish to insult
and vulgarize her beautiful old lace
with touch of modernity she can buy
rhinestones or imitation emeralds,
sapphires or rubies and sew them all
over it.

Princess Marie Of Denmark, the sis
ter-in-law of the Princess of Wales,
has been presented by an American
gentleman, B. W. Campbell, with a
saddle, said to be the finest ever made
in the United States. The seating is OF
white buckskin and is beautifully en-
broidered in colors. The embroidery
Is representation Of the fieur de lis
of France, and the white rose of Den

employed for three months in con-
structing the saddle. Princess Marie

and is married to the youngest son of
the king of Denmark.

There is no movement more inter-

gradual increase of disposition on the
part Of educated and refined women to
engage in the work of what Is called
interior decoration, but which is less
imposing and disquieting when spoken
Of as home decoration. The mural
treatment and designing Of furniture
for public buildings will properly re-
main in the hands of really competent
architects of taste, who may with right
claim that nothing shall be added to

Making q Bicycle Suit.

You will smile at your own foolish
ness If you ever undertake to make a
bicycle dress out of few yards Of old
goods you have in the house. A sad
die skirt, which is the kind everybody
makes nowadays, takes six yards Of
goods, little over yard wide, and
twelve yards of twenty-seven-inch
goods. The material cuts to waste and
must be patched, and you will find
yourself in a queer boat with your pat
ter and your goods.
A S. idle skirt is one that Is divided
In the back, so as to fall over the sad
ale, but not in the front. That neces-
states a middle section. making sort
of divided skirt in the back. Nearly all
bicycle dresses are made this way, and
30 are gowns for every sport. The
back division does not show. Your
waist you can get out of five yards of
narrow width goods If you do not allow
too long a bodice. Many riders pre-
fer to use up old jackets on the wheel,
and content themselves with a new
skirt to fit the saddle. Very little trim
ming is needed. Many wheelwomen
bind their skirts with broad band Of
white oilcloth that can be washed

These have their lips a-curl with
proud disdain
o years with tears, and tears through
weary years,
How weary 1 who in your arms have
lain;
Now, 1 am tired; the sound Of slipping
spears
Moves soft, and tears fall in a bloody
rain,
And the chill footless years go over
me who am slain.
I hear, as in wood, dim with old light,
the rain,
Slow falling; old, old. weary, human

And in the deepening dark my comfort
is my pain,
Sole comfort left of all my hopes and

Pain that alone survives, gaunt

PULPIT AGAINST PRESS"
An Explanation in Justice to Rev.
Father IWanoWski.

In The Tribune of Feb % appeared
an article relative to certain litiea-
tion beWeen Rev. Branisaw IWanoW-
ski of Priceburg, and Daniel Langow-
ski, editor of the Tygovnik Pennsylvan-
ski, to which Rev Father IWanowski
takes exception. The inference unin-
tentionally conveyed in that report
was that he was responsible for nu-
merous suits calculated to put the
county to big expense.
AS matter of fact, he is responsible
only for such legal actions as are nee
essary to do him justice. The other
suits against LangoWski are brought
by other plaintiffs. 1t is obvious that
Father IWanowski is entitled to the
protection of the law, no matter what
cost is thereby incurred.
