Late Fashion Hints.

The shop windows are gay with
colored silk pettiCoats. They are Of
brocade, shot silk, plaids and bright
stripes. a wide tlounce, with a
double ruiIla on the edge, falling
over two small foot ruf1les, is the
lavorite and gives the full effect at
the bottom that the well-dreSsed
woman delights in.
Cotton gowns are very pretty with
skirts made with three deep flounces.
Skirts with little flOunces reaching
from hem to waist, cut circular,
therefore needing no gathering at
the top, are among the latest things
of fashion. Each fiounce is edged
with lace if the gown is a cotton
one, or is bound if made of silk.
Swiss muslin dresses are worn
alike by young and old-matron and
maid. They are simple and dainty,
with their trimmings of fine Val
enciennes edging and insertion.
Sashes of wide ribbon carried
twice around the waist and tied in
front little to one side are very
fashionable, Soft silk scarfs, par
ticularly the d-fashiOned ones of
Roman stripes with fringed ends,
are seen knOtted about the waist of
many an up-to- date belle. With
white frocks these bright scarfs look
particularly well. The silk scarf is
tied in a knot and hangs down to
the bottom Of the skirt.
Brown patent leather shoes are

the latest novelty in footwear. They
were a creation of last summer, but
were not taken up to any great eX-
tent. Brown patent leather shoes
appeared in Paris and Germany be-
fore they did here, as the foreign
manufacturers succeeded with the
process before American shoe men
did.
Brown patent leather leggins for
cycling were introduced in New
York last summer and became pOpu-
lar at once with the few who
affected boomers. Then came the
brown patent leather shoe in both
the high and low styles. The pOpu-
lar shade now, rather than the
dull brown, is the oX-bloOd with the
high patent-leather polish. The
shoe men consider these shoes the
most beautiful production of many
seasons.
Yokes have come back with the
other fashions of some years ago
that were crowded out for others
more novel, perhaps, but not so
satisfactory after all. The yoke
style makes it possible TO add to an
otherwise plain dress a little touch
Of dressiness, as it can be made of
lace or other stuff that affords "a
pretty contrast. Square yOkes and
rounded yOkeS are equally fashion
able. Ruffles edge them all.
All sleeves, to be strictly correct,
are capped with ruffles or epaulettes
edged with rutfles. The new sleeve
is very graceful affair, neither be-
ing stitfened out to an extreme
limit nor falling too limp. The
ruffles give it just the pretty fluff
ness that is most becoming to the
figure.
Very pretty and simple summer
hats, for everyday wear, are of
white straw, with a wreath of green
leaves put about the crown and
punched up little at one side, from
which rise up on long stems large
rose and tiny bud. These hats,
like the more deliberately trimmed
ones, are faced.

Small COurtesies.

One evening last week | entered a
room where several young people,
with books and work, were sitting
around the lamp. The young man
with the lexicon and the grammar
on the table before him was the
busiest of the group, but he instant
ly arose and remained standing until
| had taken my seat. The little ac-
ton was automatic; the habit of this
family is to practice small courte-
sizes, and the boys have been trained
from childhood to pay Difference to
women. They always rise when
ever lady, their mother, sister,
friend, or the guest of the house,
comes into the room where they are
at work; they place chairs calamity
and gracefully for ladies at the din
ner-table, they take off their hats
when they meet their mother on the
street, and they never kiss her with
a bat on; in saying good morning or
good evening to her, it is with hat
in hand. Her bundles are carried,
her way is made easy; beautiful
pOliteness waits for her word in the
domestic discussions, and retrains
from interrupting her even in the
most heated argument. Neither
mother nor sister goes out after
dark without an escort. One of the
boys can always go out of his way,
or find it in his way to see her safely
TO u friends door, or to the meeting
which she wishes to attend. Most
winning and sweet is the air of good
breeding which these young men
have acquired-which they veal
with an unconscious grace.
Equally charming are the manners
of the girls in the home | speak of;
gentle, soft-spoken, appreciative
considerate, and reverenlial. re
old people they are tender; to chill
dren, kind; to each other, lovely.

arranging this drapery. The sim
plest is to suspend the tester from n
hook in the ceiling, directly over the
head of the bed. A large board, Gov
cred with upholstery, is fastened
firmly to this hook, and draperieS
are arranged to fall from it at the
back over the headpiece and at the
sides for the distance of two, or even
three feet. During the day the side
curtains are usually Topped back,
displaying the bolster.
The advantage Of this arrange
ment is that the bed may be moved
without the weight of the canopy
being attached to it. and that it can
be used with any bedstead. The
addition of IA canopy frame to bed
adds considerably to its price, while
the simple arrangement mentioned
may be put up at small expense by
almost any carpenter. The top Of
the tester is covered and usually
tufted on the underside, but arrang.
ed so it can be easily adjusted and
even taken apart. The drapery
should he heavy enough to eXclude

Love is the highest experience Of
the human soul. Faith and hope, it
is true, are gifts from God to man,
but love is the very essence of God
Himself. God is love. When God
imparts love to us He imparts Him
self. Every one that lOveth is
born of God, and knOweth God"
There is no simpler truth in Scrip
ture than this of Gods love to man,
and yet know of no more difficult
subject to present to the world.
Any mans words fall so far short of
presenting the wonderous beauty
and grandeur of the truth. The
closer tho communion a man has
with God the less do any words on
this great theme satisfy him. 1t is
almost impossible to convince the
world that God is loved. l..

The present fashion of the metal
bedstead, with its open head, de-.
mands the revival of the bed tester.
Aside from the picturesque effect of
bed drapery, it is eminently useful
in shielding the head fom the
draugths of air which should be adj
mitted freely to every sleeping room.
The head piece of the old-fashiOned
wooden bedstead was made solid in
order to do away with this drapery,
but the head of the sleeper was still
left exposed to draughts, and, worse
still, to strong light. The habits of
modern times have made it impos-
sible for every one to rise with the
lark, and the best that can now be
done is to secure as nearly as pOssi-
BILE the condition of night during
those early morning hours which
most OF US devote to sleep.
The old-time canopy which drap-
ed the bed on all sides was undOubt-
eddy sitting arrangement, but the
modern partial canopy is a half
tester, which merely Grapes the
upper half of the bed and shields the
head from draughts and the eyes
from light. There are many ways of

However beautiful may be little
boys curls, they ought to 90 when
the first trousers come. Let the lit
tie man realize that feminine locks
belonged with skirts, and that now
he is attired in maculine garments
he must be manly in every respect.
He must carry the purse and pay
car fare when he goes out with
mamma, and he must ask the con-
ductOr to stop the car, or give such
orders to the coachman as can be in
trusted to his young lips, all with
the idea of impressing upon his
mind as early as possible that he is
a man, and therefore to be depended
upon, and that he must lead aud not
be led, take the care, not be taken
care of. Demand creates supply,
and a little boy leaned upon in this
way from child hood would, I be-
lieve, in most cases take pride in be-
coming a bulwark' of strength for
those dear to him as he grew older.

A word should, perhaps, be said as
to the unwholesomness of the eX-
tremely cold water, tea, lemonade
and other liquids, which are so eX-
tensively used throughout the
United States. These cold drinks
reduce the temperature of the
stomach, thereby checking diges-
ton, and for this reason should be
avoided during or Immediately after
meals. 1t cannot be denied that
one may become topper on nOn-in-
tOxicants as well as intoXicants, and
that it is very easy to create a
of any pleasant, cold drink.
Where perspiration flows freely
the effect is less serious, but in most
cases the free use of cold draughts
disturbs the stomach, and it would
be much better if they were entirely
given up. Teach your little ones, as
well as yourself, to be satisfied with
water at a temperature of fifty de-
grees, and to limit the amount of
sweet drinks taken. In the eve
ming, and possibly between meals,
one might indulge now and then in
"A glass of lemonade, Orangeade or

When Head and Heart Come Together.

hands, pointed out to me the differ

are becoming wiser. Your head
and your heart have come together.
There was time when they were
not together. You are an impulsive
woman, and sometimes your heart
got ahead, and your head would not
follow you, but your head and your
heart have evidently been growing
nearer to each other, and now they
are quite together / smiled as

The amplitude of skirts is some
what modified and their stiffness
very much so. The fullness is all
carried around to the back, the
front and the sides being smooth,
straight and carefully fitted.
In cutting out skirt the edges of
the breadths should always be first
ruled with ruler long enough to go
from top to bottom, for any irregu-
larity in the seams of skirt spOils
its appearance and prevents it from
hanging well. In basting the seams
lay two edges together on long
table, the bias edge uppermOst, if a
straight and bias edge are to be

are lying fiat. If the goods is very
thin, like gauze or muslin or any
sort of light silk, blste at the same
time narrow strip of paper along
the seam. Stitch through this pa
per, which will prevent the machine
needle from gathering the material.
The paper may be easily removed
afterward.
The stiffening has almost entirely
disappeared from skirts. They are
no longer as rigid as if they were
made of wood, but have a degree of
suppleness that is much more de-
sirable. A haircloth facing five or
six inches wide is put around the
foot of the skirt to prevent if from
clinging closely to the ankles, but
this is the limit of stiffness. The
wires and various other cOntriv-
ances for expanding have entirely
disappeared. Indeed, the wires
never met with any favor among
well-dressed women, as the effect
was disagreeable, and with suffici-
emily good Innings no such arrange.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-President Nc
Kinley attended Thanksgiving service at
the Metropolitan Methodist Church to-day.
He was accompanied to the church by his
brother, Abner Mckinley, Mrs. Smith and
Miss Barber Mrs Mckinley and Mrs. Alb
ner Mckinley were out driving for a short
time during the day, as Mrs. Mckinley was
not feeling well enough to remain at
church during the services. The Rev. DR..
Johnston, pastor of the church, read the
Thanksgiving proclamation of the Presi-
dent, and said that in issuing it the Presi-
dent showed piety and wisdom which
augured well for the Nation. Prosperity
is here" said the minister; 1.-THE light of
better days is shining on us, and though it
will take time to recover from four years
OF distress, we are gaining. Times are
hard, but not as hard as they have been,
and people should thank God that 1t is no
worse, after the experiences of the past
four years" DR.. Johnston presented sta
tistics to prove the assertion that prospect
ty had returned, referring to the large
crops of wheat, cotton and other products.
1.-THE created values of this year in the
United States were estimated at fourteen
billions he said, and he then dilated on
the greatness of this Nation and it's mis-
sion on earth. Speaking of the perils that
threaten the Nation, he said that chief
among them were rum, socialism and Jes-
uitism. He spoke at some length against
the danger of foreign church obtaining
ascendency in the state, and said that il
Jesuitism ever prevailed in this country
the United States will become as Mexico,
Italy and Spain. He advocated giving the
Catholics the same civil rights that every
man enjoys, but that his church be warned
to keep it's hands off the state. In the
course of his remarks DR.. Johnston re-
ferred to Spain as "a burnt-out nation, the
basest of Kingdoms" He referred to the
danger of corrupt parties, and instanced
the victory of Tammany in New York.

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION
SENATOR FAIRBANKS THINKS CON-

Despite the Fact that Republican Sem

Special to the indianapolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The feeling is
growing among the Republican leaders that
they will be able at the coming session to
redeem their pledges of last year fully by
passing a measure that will place the cur
rency and banking system of the country
upon a sound basis, where it will not be
subject to attack whenever trade conditions
or political changes open the way. In dis
cussing the subject this evening" Senator
Fairbanks said II think there is in view
of our recent experience, some necessity
for currency reform. We should guard
against any possible recurrence of the en-
barrassments of the last administration
with respect to our currency. The Monetary
Commission is composed of able and
thoughtful men, and is capable of rendering
good service in educating the public and in
aiding in devising some conservative plan
of reform There is a diversity of opinion
as to whether a reform measure can pass
at the coming session. The Republicans, be-
ing in a minority in the Senate, are unable
to speak with confidence upon this subject.
1t is my impression that some conservative
measure Will pass. The attempt TO pass one
will certainly be made"

Trade Journals Protest.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-The practice of
the Bureau of American Republics in pub
fishing advertisements in it's official ppblca-
lions, against which considerable complaint
has been made by the trade journals of the
country, will be called to the attention of
Congress at its coming session. The trade
journals complain of the practice as an
unfair competition the part of the gov
eminent. The latest cause for irritation is
recent publication by the bureau entitled
Commercial Directory of the American
Republics of which there will be two vol
bulletins of the bureau and in the CONNER
cial directory will amount to $4,000 The
practice of canvassing for advertisements
for the bureau publications was originated
by the former head of the bureau, Mr.. Gin

prohibited. 1t is defended the score of

Two HnIidnxs in One.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.--New Workers have
the advantage of celebrating two holidays in
one. This is not only Thanksgiving day,
but also Evacuation day-the day when is
celebrated the departure from New York
of the British troops. Evacuation day is a
local holiday and is generally observed by
the Old Guard and the local militia. The
Old Guard observed the day as usual by
marching from its headquarters down to the
Battery, where the exercises of raising the
flag We're followed as usual. The Old Guard
was escorted by a detachment of the United
states regulars from Governors island.
Flag-raising exercises also occurred at the
blockhouse at Central Park.
Great preparations had been made to feed
the poor by the commissioners of charities
and corrections and the eleemosynary insti-
tutions of this city, and none went hungry.
The striking feature of the day was the
absence of any great sporting event in the
city. Thanksgiving heretofore was the day
when the final great football event was con-
tested in this city, but there were no games
nor contest of any note here to-day.
