The Popular Jacket For Next Winter.

1.-The tendency of the winter JACKIE
is toward the blouse effect, which is OBJ
tanned by darts" writes Isabel A. Nal
Ion in The Ladies' Home Journal.
"Yokes, collars, cuffs, pipings in fur,
whether it be mink, Persian lamb, er.
mine, sable, silver and black fox OF
monkey, will be popular. Velvet and
silk braid of all widths are much used.
Satin cloth is really the novelty of the
day and obtains in heliotrope, green,
mode, golden brown, silver gray, royal
blue, dove and lincoln green. In this
are seen not only the fur decorations
mentioned, but also very thick, coarse,
black woolen braid and tiny straps of
leather matching or contrasting with
the cloth in color. Collars continue
high, are gored and undulating and
may be lined with fur, velvet or lace.
Vatican effects are seen. Capes will
continue to be worn. The novelty in
their trimming is a flounce of the same
about the edges, described by
the French modiste as cut in round. 4"

Miss King says the women of her
club who go to the goldfelds will en-
gage in active mining She proposes to
do 80 herself, and with that object in
view and being of an inventive turn Of
mind she is just completing a machine
which she predicts will revolutionize
placer mining in the frozen north Miss
King says Of her invention:
Women have heretofore shrunls from
the idea of mining in Alaska ON account
Of the severe cold and the seeming i'm
possibility of digging the gold from the
frozen earth. l believe that have now
solved the problem and that mining can
be carried on in Alaska by women and
that gold can be washed out of the earth
as easy as washing dishes. Experiments
have been made with this device ON
substances which have been subjected
to the severest degree of cold which an
ice machine can attain, and the sub
stances melt as rapidly as ice in hot wa
ter. The process is simple in operation
and can be worked by any one The
heat applied can be confined to any de-
sired area, so that the side walls of the
shaft are in no danger of caving, and
timber will not be necessary The ma
chine can be easily moved from one
place to another, so that the miner may
operate wherever it is desired. "
The machine is to become a part of
the property of the Woman's Alaska
Gold club, and it will be at liberty to
do whatever it pleases with it. Mis-.
King favors leasing it to other COM
panies and using the proceeds in devel-
oping mining property for the woman's
club.-Chicago Record.

A Cynic's Suggestion.

Here is an ingenious plan of French
writer on hygiene to persuade women
to adopt loose fitting and therefore
healthier garments: 'As long as small
waist is considered elegant and modish
women will lace, says this old cynic.
VERY young girls especially are al
most impossible to control in this re-
spect. l see only one way to effect a
remedy. Let it be decreed that between
the ages of 10 and 20 floating but be-
coming garment shall be worn that will
be like the Greek dress, beautiful but
SO adapted as to allow the growing body
to develop without restraint in the
healthful way nature intended. The
very young girls will hasten to adopt
this costume, because they always wish
to attain the dignity of womanhood.
They will hesitate to quit it, because it
will be an avowal of their age, and un-
til they are 80, at least, they will not
be ready to confess to %, by which
time they will have found the untram-
meled garment so comfortable that they
could not be persuaded to relinquish

it were still in bloom, would be quite
correctly CARRIED as far as colors go,
and the sunfower, violet and peony
would not be very far behind the fash

in demand by the makers of evening

.srhe Decline of Woman,

In view of the recent notable gifts tc
charity by women on both sides of the
sea the title Of Frederick Boyle's article
in The New Review has somewhat
startling sound. He discourses ON the
decline of Woman" However, it is
gratifying to learn that it is decline
in standing rather than in character
that Mr.. Boyle has discovered. He says
that women enjoyed position in Egypt

said, THAT the great tragedy of my life

The voice of Du Maurier, who till then
had been chatting with animation, sud

Unable expression of mingled terror and
anger and sorrow.
Il was drawing from model, when
suddenly the girls head seemed to me to
dwindle to the size of walnut. I clapped
my hand over my left eye. Had 1 been

But when, In its turn, covered my right

what might be the matter, and when

he had had that himself, and so on. And

same day comforted me and said that the
accident was passing one. However my
eye grew worse and worse, and the fear of
total blindness beset me constantly
That was the most tragic event of my life
1t poisoned all my existence"
Du Maurier, as though to shake off a
troubling obsession, rose from his chair
and walked about the room, cigarette in
hand.

the report was wrong in this respect and
that respect, and Speaker Coombs evil
IDENTIFY thought so, too. for he recon-
mitted the report to the committee.
Next morning I said to Mr.. Duck
worth, the Chief Clerk, that in reading
the report Of the committee I noticed
that many Of the attaches Of two years
ago were on the list, and as my wife
formerly Miss Ella Bateman) was AS
sistant Engrossing Clerk at that session
l thought she had the same right. He
referred me to Mr.. Breiling, the Chair
man, and stated the same to him. He
asked Mr. Duckworth if my wife occu-
pied that position during the last ses-
sion and received the reply that she did.
Her name was written in between the
lines of the typewriter copy, which
Mr.. Breiling had This was done long
before the last report was handed in.
The first report, before Speaker Coombs
re-referred it to the committee, was
written on large sheets of paper. My
wife was here the day the session opened
and is here to-day. When the warrants
were ready, she did not desire to come
to the Capitol, and I sent Ed Stack,
page Of the Assembly, to her for the
purpose Of sending me her power of at
torney, which she did, and I filed one
with the Sergeant-at-Arms and another
with the State Treasurer.
THAT is all there was to it, Every
thing was done open and above board,
and if had not seen so many Of the
attaches Of the former session on the
original report Of the committee it would
never have occurred to me to request the
addition of my wife's name"

MOVES To CCyEDT

MOVES TO ACCEPT.
Dibble moved to accept both reports.
Shanahan objected that it could no. be
done, but the Speaker explained that the
minority report could be offered as an
amendment This was done, and Shan
ahan then offered another amendment,
viz: that the word temporary" should
be cut out wherever it occurred. In
support of his motion he claimed that
the statute said nothing about tenn
porary organization.
Members of the House and the news
paers, said Mr.. Shanahan, had harped
on that word temporary until it was
notorious throughout the State. There
was no such thing, and he would read
from the code, which he did, and proved
that, as has been several times stated i'll
the ''RecOrd-Union," that only three Of
the officers of the preceding session are
mentioned whose presence is necessary
to the organization of the House-the
Chief Clerk, Minute Clerk and Ser
geant-at-Arms. There is no authority
given to the Clerk or anyone else to ap-
point others for the business of organ
ization. Shanahan contended that the
ignorance of the House upon the laws
governing the Assembly was most
censurable. He moved to strike out
the Objectionable word, but there was
no second.
Dryden offered a substitute for the
committee report his own resolution,
which has been printed in the Record
Union"
