pie hunting. She went to fifteen stores
and got stacks of sample. At last | found

but they said it was 81, and gave me the

A woman writes from Ramiport City. on
the Yukon river, about housekeeping in the
| Klondike: ut Is impossible to escape the
| dirt, she says. every pore of the skin is
| filled with it, and all clothing is ruined
! There is some sort of mineral deposit
| gold, perhaps-which acts upon the skin
and clothing, and grinds into them. Wash
| ing does not remove it, but produces a
gummy substance, which the strongest
soap won't cut. This dirt is the hardest
thing have to endure. l like the coun-
try. The air is fine and clear with glori-
Gus sunsets on mountain and river. We
have an $500 log cabin just a hut, with one

Tor stove pipe. There are no beds: in
the whole town there is but one cot and
mattress, and that is ours Our cabin

views of both bends in the river There
are about 400 inhabitants here. The new
corners, like ourselves, are well provis-
Toned; those who have been here all sum-

$40 here, and is not to be had except oc-

There are three other ladies in the

At the Ball
A woman's laughter, low and clear
And then, through clouds of shimmering
lace,
Fair as a star of the upper sphere
I caught a glimpse of a woman's face
A glimpse of beautiful woman's face.
Lips like the coral that's born of the
wave,
Teeth as white as the Alpine snow,
And night to her hair it's luster gave
Its ripping and cleaning luster gave.
Filmy and fair was her gauzy gown,
Her bosom shone DER its meshes white;
Her only diadem, Beauty's crown,
For she was queen of my heart that
night
The beautiful queen of my heart that
night.
And on her breast my roses shone
Pure and white as their resting place,
But she was the fairest rose ere blown;
She, my darling, my love, my Grace
My beautiful, laughing, innocent Grace.
Let the dance go on and the revel speed,
She shines like star in the ballroom
gay,
To the gallants who WOO her 1 give no
heed,
For she's to be mine some sweet, glad
day
Be mine forever, some sweet, glad day.
Carl LAtsey.
For street and shopping dressed kids are
very popular. They come in almost ev-
cry color of the rainbow, and can be had
to match any gown, be it ever so bright.
Matching a gown. however, is not recon-
mended, although often done. 1t is far
better taste to have the gloves contrast
with the gown, or have them to match
the hat. Often this amounts to the same
thing in this day Of hat to wear with
every gown yet never hat to match
gown.
Contrasting stitching is liked on kid
gloves, and black. stitched with red, white
or lavender, is often seen, though far be
it from me to recommend it Tan gloves
with white stitching are in very good taste
The new tans, by the way, are very
bright shades.
Walking gloves of dogskin are still much
worn. and the demand for suedes has
brought upon the market a very heavy
suede which comes in castor shades is
very handsome, very durable and very
fashionable.
Many women who are sticklers for the
fitness of things wear glace kid gloves
with satin gown, claiming that a suede
glove spois the effect of the costume.
This is a very reasonable theory, to saw
the least The prospect, therefore still
remains that we shall wear dressed kids
with some handsome gowns.
For evening gowns the fancies in gloves
vary but little. Suede in delicate shades
is still preferred, although black to match
some part of the costume, a ribbon, a belt
or slipper, may still be worn.
The Washington girl-all Washington
women are girls, says the Chicago Times
Herald, until they grow old-is a COM
promosie between the type of the north
and the type of the south. She Is of the
woman womanly. She has peculiar deli
cateness of face and figure. The bosom is
full and the hips beautifully rounded vet
the form is slender. Hands and feet are
