dressy jacket, and the all-important
wedding gown. Of course the latter is
really not necessity, but every girl
loves to don it, and it seems pity to
deprive the poorest of Us of this pleas
ure on the happiest day Of our lives. 1t
is, therefore, best to include it.
The wedding gown up-to-date is of
plain white satin, rather than brocade.
In Paris brides are beginning to wear
pale colors, but this mode seems more
suitable for the elderly bride, and is
not likely to become popular. 1t has,
however, note of economy. as white
satin is not practical for ordinary wear.
The skirt of the bridal gown may be
untrimmed or adorned with founces
of lace. Lace, chiffon and seed-pearl
trimming are used on the bodices. A
very girlish gown to be worn by an April
bride is of white satin with founce of
duchess lace about the foot. The bodice
is of plain satin, tight-itting. The
front is covered with lace, which starts
at the arm seams and is caught in a
bunch at the center of the bust. Our
bride intends to fasten it there with a
tiny spray Of orange blossoms, If she
can secure them. But they are so scarce
that she will probably use lilies Of the
valley.
The yoke is hand embroidered, by the
bride herself, with seed pearls in de-

veil itself. If, before the ceremony, the
bride desires to cover her face, she may
wear a small face veil, which is taken
off by her maid when she reaches the
altar.
The promenade or travelling gown Sc
lected by bride-to-be should be OF the
best material that she can afford.
Rough materials should not receive q
moments consideration. Some plain,
substantial goods is the thing to get.
Drap d'ete or lady's cloth is the first
selection. If they are too expensive,
get good cheviot or fine serge. Bril-
liantine makes up prettily, too, and is
serviceable. Don't be tempted to buy
etamine or any other sheer material
which must be silk-lined unless you are
sure that your gown will not need to do
good service. because they are likely to
lose caste very quickly and are not
materials that make over we'll.
The day when the bride must pro-
claim herself by wearing gray Is past,
She now wears any color that suits her
except black. That is supposed to bring
sorrow, and ill-becomes the "happiest
person on EARTH"
A well-chosen gown is in dull purple
cloth, of shade which will not quickly
tire the eye. The skirt is very full and
very long, and has narrow band of EN-
broidery done in iridescent metallic
cord about the bottom.

without doubt that which once paved
The streets of Kimberly, South Africa,

diamonds that millions of dollars worth
Of gems were taken from 1t. How this
princely roadbed came to be laid down
Is related in an interesting note in Cos
mos (Paris, November 10, which we
translate below:
"The South African diamond mines.
were discovered 80 years ago quite ac-
cidentally. A peddler who was travel.
ing from farm to farm on his business,
noticed brilliant stone amid the peb1;
bles with which some children were,
playing ON a farm situated near the;
Vaal. The idea occurred to him that,
perhaps 1t might have some value. He
sent It In an unsealed letter to Dp!
Atherstone, Of Grahamstown, who was
something of geologist; he recog-
nized in the stone a fine diamond. The
fame Of this discovery grew, and soon
the diamond fever led many into the
fields. Mines were discovered, and q
camp was quickly formed, which re-
eeived the name Of Kimberly.
"Water was scarce near these mineA,
and nevertheless 1t was almost indls-
pensable for washing the diamond
bearing soil and getting the precious
gems out easily. Many workmen tried
to do without 1t and to find their dia-
monds in the dry earth, with the re-
suit that great number OF the stones
remained In the debris Of the diamond-
bearing soil that had been subjected to
search.
"The city Of Kimberly, growing rap
Idly, soon had municipal council,
which, among other things, undertook
to macadamize It's streets. The debris,
that was in the miners way, was found
excellent for this purpose. The city
undertook, to the great satisfaction OF
great numbers of worlmen, to rid them
Of their rubbish heaps."-Literary d.

border about the rever and cuffs, and is
caught on the left side with hand
some metallic button. It is cut low at
the neck, revealing full yoke Of soft
green silk The waist is swathed around
with folds of the same.
The sleeves are small coat-shaped,
with bell cuffs. Should large sleeves be-
come fashionable once more, our maid
is ready for them with an extra yard of
material that she has laid aside.
The hat for use with this costume is
OF rough, iridescent straw, with green
greatly in evidence. It is biscuit-shaped,
with a plaided scarf, introducing green
and violet, tied about the brim. and hold
ing, at the left side, a cluster of green
plumes.
When the ceremony and honeymoon are
over, and the bride is settled in her new
home, she will have many callers. To
receive them she will need teagown
for the afternoons when the ladies call,
and one or two pretty house dresses for
the evening.
The teagown may be made Of some
inexpensive material, such as crepe or
some other thin cotton goods. That
pictured is of pale green batiste, with
an open front. This front is crossed
with three rows of white lace inser-
ton, lined with pink silk. Rever-like
iabots of white lace are fastened under
rosettes of pink ribbon on each shoul-
der, and the same ribbon encircles the
waist and forms jaunty bow at the
left side.
House dresses are so many and SO
dainty that one would have all if she
could.

OCEAN HORRORS.

Number Of Persons Lost In the st. Nazaire
Wrec IN Now Put at 78-Dutch Steamer
and 100 Lives Lost.
NEW YORK.. March .19.-It is now be.
lieved that rs persons in all were lost
by the laundering Of the French line
steamer Vile De st. Nazaire, off Cape
Hatteras. A list Of the passengers and
crew who were in the vessel when she
left shows that there were but II pas
sengers in all and the crew list num-
bered II men. OF these four are known
to be saved The officers, crew and
passengers were, with one or two ex-
ceptions, residents OF foreign ports.
OF the total number on board go were
colored. The only white persons on
board besides the passengers were the
officers.
Mate Collins, of the schooner Hilda,
was interviewed yesterday. In telling
of the rescue of the survivors of the
wreck of the st. Nazaire he said that
never in his long experience on the
sea had he seen such an awful sight as
was presented by the small boat and
its occupants. When the Hilda came
alongside the men yet alive were try
ing to stand erect, but their legs re-
fused to support them, and time and
again they sank to the bottom of the
boat, where four of their companions
were lying cold in death. Not one of
them had the strength necessary to
catch the line thrown to them and not
one could utter word plainly enough
to be understood.
LONDON, March ia dispatch from
Lloyds' agent at Brest says it is great
~ feared that the Dutch mail steamer
Utrecht, which sailed from Rotterdam,
February 2s, for Batavia, Java, has
foundered in the vicinity Of Ushant
and that the 100 persons she had on

THE LATEST FASHIONS.
Suited to Gowns for the Eastern

Satin for the Wedding Gown-Gray No
Longer Imperative for Brides
some Smart House
Dresses.

Spring gowning engrosses all. Those
with but little wealth make careful Sc
lections OF the most serviceable, yet
withal, the most useful gown. She who
has plenty buys with lavish hand that
which strikes her fancy. With either,
the gown once bought and worn quickly
loses interest.
Not so with the maids who will change
their names at the Eastertide. Each
article in their wardrobes must be well
selected, not for use this season alone,
but for the durability Of it's style and
material. For the average girl who mar
ries the average man finds much need
to economic, and the girl who brings
with her a sensible selected wardrobe
is jewel beyond compare.
The best wardrobe contains four
morning dresses, a teagown, prone
made costume, plain skirt and two ol
three bodices for use with it, short
