mousseline de sole, and over that was
worn short bolero Of the green
cloth. The bolero was short and round
ed at the back, and at the front it was
draped up to the bust line, where it
was arranged into box plat that
was fastened to band of deep velvet.
The box plat was lined with velvet
taffeta, and from the center there fell
a cascade of cream mousseline de sole.
The edges of the bolero were elabo
rately braided in black soutache
braid The sleeves were long, close
fitting coat sleeves, draped very high.
a deep shade of violet velvet was used
for the Narrow, draped girdle.
The GresSy little hat worn WITH
this gown was of rough green straw,
trimmed with quantities of orchids,
shading from pale lilac to deep purple.
At the back Of the hat there was
tall bow of green taffeta ribbon.
l noticed that several of the very
smart gowns had double skirts, but
they are only worn to advantage by
tall, slender women, for the breaks in
the lines of the skirt, just at the
knee detracts considerably from
Woman's height.
A PRETTY CLOTH.
Another pretty light cloth gown was
of pale shade of green. The skirt
was a godet, close fitting over the
hips, with all of the fullness carried
to the back 1t was trimmed round
with two-inch bias folds of the cloth,
headed by folds of black velvet edged
with soutache. The corsage was a
blouse of the gray cloth, perfectly
plain at the back, with a front that
Tapped trifel to the left SIDE.
At the front the corsage was cut V
to show a ohemisette of white satin
with a tall crush collar of the satin
mounted by frill of white mousse
line de sole. The corsage was.turn-
ed back to form revers. These revers
were covered with white lace over
white satin. The edges of the revers
nearest the white satin chemisette was
braided with black silk soutache. The
frogs of the black soutache came from
the left under-arm seam and fastened
the corsage at the front.
The high girdle was of white satin
that was, almost obscured by the black
soutache braiding. The sleeves were
very long and close fitting at the elbow.
There they were trimmed round with
five bias folds Of the cloth and mount
ed by short puffs.
The smart little toque worn with
this gown was of grass green tulle lit
orally banked with roses.
1t is really doubtful if straw hats
will go out entirely this winter, so
deftly are they interviewer with other
materials And the same with tulle
and filmy fabrics which are making
the whole fashion world kin.

If tho various Grand Army posts OF
the country were disposed to take I'D
vantage of an offer made at the last ses.
sion of congress, they might materially
increase the warlike spirit supposed to
pervade every patriotic family, says the
Washington Post. The offer was to sup.
ply warliko implements, which, If they
have outlived their usefulness, will
serve as ornaments for post heudquar-
tiers and might inspire the rising gener-
alton with much patriotic fervor This
could be accomplished by accepting the
tender of several hundred abandoned
cannon and shot and shell which con
gress has decided to give to any Grand
Army post that may apply for them
and which are now lying useless and
neglected at the navy yards.
These cannon are mostly old style
models Of engines of war, which might
have been considered just the proper
thing 80 years or more ago, but which,
with the march Of progress and the ad.
vance of invention, have been placed
upon the retired list. Their places have
been filled by guns and munitions Of
war Of more improved type, and as the
abandoned articles are valuable only as
old metal the government decided that
it could put them to no better purpose
than TO give them to the veterans of the
late war, who fought on the Union side
with these same guns.
But it is surprising to count up just
how few posts OF the immense Grand
Army have taken advantage of this Of.
fer. Since the passage of the joint reso-
luton last winter the records in the Of
fee OF the secretary OF the navy, where
such applications have to be filed, show
less than 100 from the entire country
There are still guns on hand for about
700 more posts, yet strangely enough,
the Grand Army has made nc effort to
provide itself with an armament
which, although 1t would be of little
service in time Of war, is valuable from
OIL artistic standpoint il time Of peace

mind even when that mind belongs TO

foundations of the building had been
RACED to the ground, and tho king, no
doubt, congratulated himself on that
uninterrupted view of the country which
he had had before, he was startled to
find that an increased army Of builders
arrived to augment the number of those
who had been employed
Oddly enough also. huge quantity
of bricks ana mortar appeared on the
scene These bricks the masons began
TO use in the most unaccountable man
ner possible, piling them one on top Of
the other with mortar between. 1t look

They were. Slowly, as is the manner Of
masons in every country of the world,

lEZE MAJESTY.
How Subject of the King of Belgium
Played 1t.

rIow n Subject of the King of Belgium
Played It.
1t is curious reflection that men
who will face death with IMMUNITY are
yet absolutely aghast with fear when
brought into the presence of the great
ones of the earth. "Such great divinity
doth hedge king" that few mon would
venture to assert their independence or
the right Of their manhood If n sover.
eign's view were opposed to theirs.
This is no doubt, AN inheritance
from the days Of feudalism, when tho
monarch was indeed the liege lord Of
all the people. Among the few, how.
ever, whose names have come down to
an admiring posterity because they had
the stamina to rely on their own rights
and assert their own desires must be
mentioned the name of NJ Vanden.
driesche. a subject Of the king Of Bel
GUM,
Some time ago ho saw piece of
ground at Ostend the position of which
pleased him. AS luck had it, it CHANGED
to be directly in front OF the kings vii
la. This fact, We may be sure, did not
makeit less desirable in the gentleman's
eyes. He called in the aid of architects
and builders and proceeded to erect q
house on it after his own heart. Unfor-
tunately, however his majesty looked
ont of the windows of his villa one day
and found that his subjects home, if it
had not emulnted Aladdin's and sprung
up in u night, at all events interfered
with his view, as did that miraculous
structure with tho view of the other
sovereign.
The king naturally demonstrated at
this want of consideration in a subject,
and, no doubt, expected that the remon-
STRANGE would have good effect. So, in
deed, it seemed, for NJ. Vandendriesche
engaged number of workmen, who
proceeded to pull down the ediflce, which
had only recently been finished.
