The Nicaragua Canal.

The war has led up to many grand
results beyond the conquest OF IS
lands here and there, but it is doubt
furif any of the results will be more
beneficial in the long run than the
building of the Nicaragua canal. Ali
parties and all shades of parties are
now practically agreed that the wa
terway between the two sides OF the
country is too long, The distance via
the straits of Magellan from New
York to, San Francisco is $4,000
miles, and sailing vessels that go
around the Horn have to traverse
$4,000. There is too much water for
either military or commercial pur-
poses. The road needs shortening,
and the Nicaragua canal fits the case.
1t would cut down the routeof steam
vessels to the extent of 8,276 miles.
and the sailing vessels that now &C
around the Horn would gain 1878
miles. 4sua14Ya4 ig1

In Paris they have the FURNISHING
day" This is at the annual opening of
the picture exhibition, M it serves a two
told purpose. First, it shows all the new
pictures, and, second, here all the leaders OF
the grande monde gather TO show their new
gowns and their spring garments Here Is
the fashion of the season set, for it would
be rank heresy 20 wear any other style
than those worn here this day.
1 do not mean to say that everybody Will
exactly oopy all the garments, but all the
salient points will be adopted, all the
new ideas will be seized st once by every
body, and in a few days they win be seen
everywhere.
The ladies who lead the fashion in Paris
are few now, for many Of them were burn
ed in that cruel fire, but the few left will
bold to their privilege still closer No one
but the lady and her dressmaker is ever in
the secret of what is to be worn by each
ON this memorable occasion, Ind crowds
Of women throng the galleries all day, SO
that the pictures on the walls have scant
notice, while the living, moving pictures
are closely scanned.
We have no such function as "vernis-
sage" more's the pity. With our fashion
able women the horse show, dog show and
coaching parties afford the necessary as
semblages, and there the new garments
may be displayed. In the autumn the
chrysanthemum show brings together
many, with their handsome fall coats and
gowns. In Paris, too, there are the races
st which one may see astonishing Co.'S

-..u.au the edge. The inside OF the para
solswas tpuffef full Of pale straw colored
crepe lissa, This ~ qufte.a new -wrinkle
and q very%pretty one It is. Pearl gloves
were provided. Pearl gSay, flesh color,
pale lemon and straw and white are. the
fayorite colorsefor dressy gloves for such
occasions.
Black suits were worn In a number OF
instances, one noticeable one being OF deep
black chantilly ~1ounces over black satin.
The blouse was made Of the same wide
lace, and the only touch of color was
where a few rolls Of cherry red velvet were
laid along under the lace to define tho
lines and at the neck. The hat worn
with this was all of black lace with several
great punches OF luscious dark red cherries.
Cherries, currants, apricots and black
berries, ripe and unripe, with their foliage
are among the choice things we find for
midsummer and fall for the decoration of
hats.
Another black costume was much ad-
mired. The gown was in princess form
and made of rich moire poplin. Around
the edge of the skirt was q quilting OF
black ribbon with a corded edge, the cord
being In cornfiower blue. The waist was
trimmed with a facing of cornflower blue
velvet at a v opening, and this was filled
with a close shirring of straw colorcd crepe
de chine. There was a short and very or
namental cape, the lower part being of corn
flower colored taffeta laid in accordion
plaits. The bottom was edged with a dou-
BILE quilting of ribbon like that on The
skirt. Over the shoulders was a vandyke
cape of black grosgrain bordered with
quilting and worked In large scroll design
with silk soutache. The collar was very
high and had quilting to match at the top
and bows of black ribbon in front and
back.
There is no denying that we are accept
ing as new some ancient styles reyamped
to suit the present day. We may say that
the most of them are apt illustrations OF
the survival Of the fttest. / saw today a
very swell costume of fine russell covert,
the skirt being made on the circular plan,
but finished plainly. There was a loose
shawl pointed drapery In front, stitched
several times. The jacket was also neatly
stitched on all seams. The cuffs were
made stiff by rows of stitching, and SO
were the reyers and COLLAR. We have all OF
us seen such things before, but just now
they look new, since we have not seen
them for 30 long. There was arranged q
sort of Jacket vest to this, which hung open
with the jacket to show the fancy blouse
of lettuce green surah with. its trimming
of iridescent spangles.
Another new old style of gown was
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-06-11

made Of plaid pop1in. The lower part OF
the skirt was plain, but the upper was
laid in three bias sprung folds. The waist
was arranged in the same way, the folds
lying bertha fashion over a waist Of white
embroidery over black. The colors in the
plaid were black, white and pink.
The pretty and becoming white vests to
dark basoues are among the new devices
Of fashion. The most of this style of
basque has the smart little position in
the back trimmed to match the front.
Braid is just as fashionable as it was
upon all goods thick enough to bear it. l
saw one dress where the basque with the
front of the skirt and eight inches deep
around the hips was one mass OF .bronze
soutaohe sewed on In queerly shaped de-
sign. I think it was intended to repre-
sent q MORE effect. The basque was open
in front and formed tabs, and these were
braided in the same manner The material
was tan colored cloth. Another pretty
cloth suit in slate gray cloth had q very
pretty design wrought in narrow black
soutaohe down the front breadths n
around the hips; also on the neat little
cape to match.
There are all manner of vests and chem
isettes and ties. They may seem insignif-
can't, but without them no costume is
complete. There are some of the most
startling colors, such as scarlet, cherry,
magenta, emerald and all the yellows.
But there are also others of milder tone,
such as rose, corn, a and lilac, light
cell and baby blue and very tender green's.
White chemisettes are unusually popular.
Full ties of MANILA lace, tulle or other
extremely light weave are worn with
them, and the devices for employing the
thin goods in an ornamental way are
legion. Everything is right as long as it
looks pretty.
Every week sees something new in or
CANDIES, piques and zephyrs. Piques are
shown in all sdAts of colors as plain goods
and in hundreds Of pretty figuring. They
are strong aid look well for q whole sea-
son. Some Of the organdies having coin
spots are very pretty. The size OF the
spots ranges from q dime to q trade dol
lar. There are pretty new foulard silks
with printed borders intended for making
rufles or other trimming. These silks
are washable.

A FIGHTING FAMILY
All the Evanses, Including
Captain Bob, are
Warriors.
ONLY SON IS IN THE NAVY
Both His Daughters to Be
Nurses--His Wife's Bro
Their Commands the
Indiana.
ONLY SON is IN THE NAVY

Captain Bob Evans is not the only
fighting member Of his family The
Eyanses, in fact, are a family Of fighters.
So are the Taylors, his wife's family. Al
together, when they have a reunion quite a
group of warriors are assembled.
There Is no time for a reunion in the
Evans family just now. Most of the MEM
bers are rather widely separated, each ac-
lively engaged in helping Uncle Sam
thrash the dons. OF course Fighting
Bob is getting the lions share of the
credit and glory, but others Of his relatives
are fighting just as y~aliantly.
There is his son. Frank Taylor Evans,
who, although only a cadet, has been as
signed to the Massachusetts, as a midship-
man. He is a tall, stalwart young fellow
who is a~nxiously waiting a chance to
prove himself just as good o fighter as his
father.
Then there is his son-in-law, Lieutenant
Charles G. Marsh, who is flag secretary to
Admiral Sampson on the New York. Cap
tain Harry Taylor, who commands the big
indiana, is Captain Evans brother-in-law,
being a brother of Mrs. Evans. Another
of Mrs. Evans brothers, d.. Morgan Tay-
lor. is captain of ordnance In the army.
Both of these brothers are members of the
Society of the Cincinnati, which is proof
that their Revolutionary ancestors were
officers in the Continental army. Not only
this, but the Taylors are descended from
Revolutionary fighting stock on both ma
ternal and p~aternal sides. Is it to be won
dered at that they take naturally to fight
ing?
Even the Evans girls show evidences of
a martial strain, for Captain Evans two
daughters, Mrs. Marsh and Miss Virginia

tunes, and we have little of that oppor-
tunity for display, as women of h best
class do not care SO much for promiscuous
gatherings, and a good thing it is, too, for
women are too impressionable and en-
thusiastio to go to races
I never saw but two, and they will new
er fade from my mind. One was between
Indians on foo and relays Of horses. The
horses won. Tho other was in the early
days of California and between two colts,
one a Pinto and the other O cinnamon col
ored rack of bones. The Pinto ran about
half a mile and then refused to go another
step. The cinnamon colored ran un-
til he came to a load of hay drawn to one
side of the road, and there be stopped and
began to eat and there he staid in spite of
everything.
But ali that is not about the pretty
dresses that we have fallen heir to. The
season has been so backward that no one
has seemed to take much interest in the
lovely light gowns and materials offered,
though some wise ladies have their sum-
mer frocks made and laid away and hid
den from all prying eyes. But the COS
TUNES worn at the vanishing day have
been deity copied, and ! will tell you all
about some Of Them
One was a thin soft silk in weave be-
tween liberty and taffeta and slightly
changeable. The colors were pale faint
blue and delicate pink, so that the whole
was in some lights a tender lilac. AND
this was all woven in some way SO that it
appeared striped. The skirt had a sprung
fiounce 10 inches deep of plain silk of the
same shade. The waist was a simple
French bodice with q self belt bound with
- ar -sEf.Dnu N ohod1 durka7.
There was a sort Of yoke with two sprung
rufies of the plain silk with rows Of the
velvet ribbon around it clear up to the
collar.
There were white gloves and a leghorn
hat with three long fluffy white ostrich
plumes, with other plumes sewed to them,
SO that the fues of thecolored ones min
gled with the white, giving them q change
able effect. A small rosette of the silk
was set In the beck of the hat where
the brim curled upward. The parasoi was
Of white chiffon SO shirred and rufied that
it looked LII a dish of soapsuds.
There was q dainty gown OF printed or
candle over q skirt of faint blue tafeta.
The organdie was printed to represent
white and pink peoples, life size" with
their frosty green leaves. There was a
Spanish hounce to the skirt with two lace
rufies at the bottom of that. The bodice
was in blouse front and gathered back,
with q belt Of poppy green ribbon. This
fastened at the side in front in a bow OF
the green, and in the center OF that was
O large double rosette to represent q poppy
Of ribbon Of that color. The high stock
was of green ribbon With "a double poppy

married women,s worst railings.

4T M1AEIAG OllCh
Laziness.-It is a married woman's first
duty to do all she can for the comfort and
happiness of her husband and children.
Laziness leads to sloyenliness and indiffer-
ence. A woman Indifferent to the condi-
ton of her home is a woman any man
would do we'll to avoid. 1t is quite impos-
sible for a lazy woman to perform the du-
ties of her position satisfactorily.
Neglect of Personal Appearance.-There
ia something contemplate in a married
woman neglect Of personal appearances.
Having succeeded in winning her hus-
bands love, she imagines there is nothing
more to be gained by making the most OF
her looks, Il she Is safely married. A
man has every right to expect that his wife
should be as trim and neat as the maid he
wooed.
Jealousy.-The woman who gives way
to unreasonable jealousy risks losing her
husbands love and respect in return.
Jealousy kills that mutual trust and con-
ldence without which marriage is a mean
ingless farce.
inhospitality.-The woman who objects
to entertaining her husbands friends at
home practically forces him to seek their
society at the club and elsewhere. And
who would blame him2
Disloyalty.-The woman who is in the
habit of discussing her husbands failings
with outsiders, of comparing him with
other peoples husbands or mentioning his
name sl%ightingly is disloyal both to him
and to herself. The woman who SO far
loses her dignity as to do this deseryesto
forfeit the respect Of her friends .-Glasgow

THE WAY IN VANITY FAIR.

When q girl has throttled herself with a
band Of rigid linen tNat paralyzes her neck
muscles and saws a crimson line beneath
her chin when she has cut of her breath
ing power abruptly at the waist, burdened
her back with q ponderous mass of swing
ing, dragging cloth, poised a winged and
ribboned mopstrosity on her head and daz-
zled her eyesight with fiuttering dots and
dashes, she looks her very best. She Is
chic, she is good form, she pleases our dis
torted vision as no exponent of natures
laws ever could.
Seeing her coming, one recognizes at
once that she is Hpossible''-that is, that
there is no outer reason why she should
not belong to the sacred inner circle of
Vanity Fair. The impossible watch her
pass with frank envy or with a labored in
difference that betrays the same feeling.
The socially probable (those who very
likely belong to that inner circle) lean for
ward in their broughams to see If she is
not q person to be bowed to. Those who
rule the social world meet her g~raciously
and give her a fair chance to prove herself
worthy of their set, where an equally de-
serving person with an easy going collar
and an unrestricted diaphragm would be
passed over indifferentlyand must cut her
way in through a thicket of pride and
prejudice If she is to enter at all.
A girls other details form a sort Of sign
language, and, though it takes a social
expert to read it with absolute accuracy
no one can miss its general meaning. The
more valiantly she has sacrificed personal
comfort to the torturing laws Of correct
feminine gearing the more the masculine
spectator wants to know her and to have
1t seen of men that she knows him. A
quick pace sets her heart to pounding an
grily at it's barriers, and a passing wind
swirls her into a helpless mass OF skirts,
but she never has to struggle unaided
with a heavy swing door or push an eleva-
tor button with her own fingers or wait
unnoticed at a crowded counter. The
world steps aside for her, and she walks
unjostled in q glittering social haze. She
finds a velvet cloak at every puddle. Sure
ly bodily freedom is not a high price to
pay for all this.-Munsey's Magazine.
