Tn Washington now, in the White House
Park the robins and song-sparrows are singing.
the crocuses are out, and the naples in full
bud

Mrs. Letitia Green Stevenson, wife of the
Vice Prcsident, was unanimously elected to be
President General of the Society of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.
Maj. Mckinley has two or three pretty nieces
who will "come out" during his Administra-
tion-and the White House promises to be quite
jolly for the next four years.

Ever since it was certain that Hobart was
elected for Vice. President, he has been besieged
with begging letters. One came from n girl in
Louisiana, who wanted him to telegraph her
$4,000 with which to pay her expenses for
completing her musical education. Another
woman wrote for So to buy her new set of
teeth, saying that when she got them she ex-
pected to have q chance to marry.

The woman who wants to be really we'll
dressed, must curb her desire for fancy waists.
Silk aud chiffon blouses are still made by FASH
ionaDle modistes and clever needle-women at
home, but the silk waist is now planned to har-
monte with a special skirt. year ago one
could wear any fancy waist with any plain
skirt, and the most horrible combinations re-
sulted-pink waists with dark green skirts,
magenta with brown, and other combinations
equally unpleasant. Nowadays the waist Tor a
dark blue serge skirt is properly some sort OF
dark blue silk. plain or patterned. Brown
check silks are wel.liked for brown skirts aud
the various dark and.changing rose shades, for
wear with dark red skirt. Tue evening
waists of pale shades are still worn with black
satin skirts A handsome com bination for a
street dress, and one which is affected by young
maids and matrons as well as by stately. gray.
haired danes, is u skirt of black satin, jacket
or cage of black velvet and silken blouse OF
bright green. pale lavender, blue or white.
With black velvet. feathcred and jetted hat
or bonnet, it makes picturesque costume, as
well as a-highy fashionable one.

The stout woman should remember that for
her the balero jacket must be close fitting.
with narrow revers, if any, and must be
absolutely unfrilled.
Plaids are fashionable. it's true-plaid waists,
plaid frocks plaid neckties and hat ribbons and
even plaid belts and watch ribbons; but never
theless, there's no excuse for woman hurting
herself pel-mell into plaids. and wearing two or
even three varieties at one time. No matter
how fashionable they be, woman ought limit
herself to variety of plaid at wearing.
The different designs of squares and stripes aud
colors. artistic in themselves, or when COM
bined with plain material, when brought
together, clash with lond sound So, with a
plaid waist. wear plain skirt, collar and belt
with a plain waist, wear plaid tie; with q
plaid frock wear plain velvet or silk collar and
belt.

Roman stripes promise to be worn a grea
deal for belts. collars and hat trimmings
Some of the new ribbons are very handsome
with brown, red, gold, blue and green woyer
in narrow stripes with ono color predominant
ing in half-inch band. These ribbons ar,
newer than the plaids, and will serve yer,
prettily to bedeck serge or tweed frocks, or t,
trim sailor hats for the lasses in the Spring
time.
