with frills. An elaborate sash swirling at every move really turns a plain skirt into what seems to be one all frills.
 Little scarfs are made to match with ends widening and frilled. White wash dresses are made with short sash belts about a half yard wide that are to be tied in stiff bows at the back, the ends are pointed and are made almost the same length as the loops. Striped and plaid gingham gowns have sashes of plain color trimmed with wash braid in colors to correspond with the shades showing in the dress. Plain white muslin or lawn sashes are worn with wash dresses of any color, white cuffs, collars and perhaps front being worn. White duck short sashes will be worn, with white duck stock and cuffs, with yachting and outing gowns of serge with charming effect.
 Sashes for current wear are more elaborate than those just described, as is well they should be when used upon fine gowns. The sash waving in this picture was white satin trimmed with black chantilly lace and fringed This made it harmonize closely with it's gown whose skirt was black crepe de chine, trimmed with band of white satin, covered with the lace and bor- dered top and bottom with chiffon ruching. The fitted bodice was cut with sharp point in back and front, and was of white satin covered with lace, draping of black chiffon tying in large bow in front. Double epaulettes of chiffon capped the sleeves. which were of the same materials as the bod ice. FLORETTE.

STAINS GLORIOUS MULE.

When three vessels of our blockading fleet bombarded Matanzas last week and destroyed the batteries at that place General Blanco cabled to Madrid that the only damage done by the American guns was the killing of a mule This was a rather neat one for Spaniard and was appreciated in this country as we'll as in Spain. But there was no General Blanco at Manila and Sun thinks that the moral of these two battles is that the Spanish fleet should never put to sea, nor it's army venture within range of American guns. ''The mule battery is the true reliance of the Spanish government, and wherever he is kept on guard he will prove sure bulwark and defense. We'll may the Governor of the Philippines now ex- claim in this hour of disaster: "A mule. a mule, my kingdom for one of Blanco's mules.'"
 A mule saved Spain's "honor' at Ma- tanzas and had the honor of being mentioned" in Blanco's official report. It deserved it, and it deserves more. Why shouldn't a picture of that mule hereafter figure on the Spanish flag? It would be truly emblematic of some of the traits most conspicuously dis played by the Spaniards in these days.

A Bold Theft.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Persons who frequent the reading room at the public library should take measures to protect themselves against the light-fngered gentry who seem to spend part of their time in that place. A lady who is a constant frequenter of the reading room was engaged there for an hour on Tuesday afternoon, seated at a table at right angles to the south window, ir. the part of the room appropriated to women. On the wn- dow sill at her left hand lay her card case, in which at intervals she made notes and memoranda. During one of these intervals the card case was stol- en by some one who must have passed close behind the owner. The case bore the appearance of a pocketbook, and no doubt was supposed to contain money. The thief was rewarded by the acquisition of sixty cents worth of postage stamps, a dozen visiting cards and a card case, which had seen eight years wear, but was of especial value to the owner. The theft was a very rash one, for not more than four wo- men were in that part of the reading room during that hour, and any one of them could easily be recognized. A.

------------------------- FASHION NOTES.
Fashionoble Toys for tho wind.

sashes of chiffon and of silk muslin have been a feature of the later winter fashions, and now are shown sashes of wash lawn, book muslin and of wash gauge. They are as pretty as can be. They are made about a yard wide in the center, to go about the waist, the ends widen to yard and a half, and are finished with frills and insertions.
 Many sashes are so cleverly made that the ends present no right and wrong side, the insertion showing through on both sides and both sides being finished

SPANISH PRIDE.

Spanish pride Is as strong as the smell of Spanish onions and sometimes as agreeable. We read that the mem- bers of the Spanish legation in London are putting on airs and behaving with 'great hauteur" towards mem- bers of the United States legation when the two chance to meet at diplomatic gatherings.

In eighteen months, it is said, it will be possible to travel from St. Peters, burg to Vladivostock in the rapid time of ten days. The Trans Siberian rail- road will then be completed to the Amoor river, and the Pacific section will be open to Chaborowka on the same great water course. The river journey will be made by fast steamers, spanning the distance between the termini of the railroads at a rate aI- most comparable to that which will be made on land after 1904, when the through line will be in operation. It seems likely that the Manchurian sec- tion of the road will also be. finished by the summer of 1900, in which case the Russians will be in full possession of all modern resources required to make their hold on China and the Pa cific coast of Asia a permanent matter. even in the face of impending trouble from Great Britain and Japan.

In an address before some Confeder- ate veterans the other day General Wade Hampton said: My old com- rades, we know what war is. I do not hesitate to say that regret the one upon which we are now entering. But you are South Carolinians; you are sons of the men who have shed ilnmor- tai glory on the Palmetto flag in the past, and would rather die than think that South Carolina would not respond to the call made upon her for volun- teers. And, old as I am, I can still ride on horseback and wield sword; and if South Carolina's quota is not filled, if there is one name lacking to make it full, myself will volunteer. This is our country, and it is our duty to make 1t the champion of freedom for all time to come.''

A western paper made bold to an- nounce that nobody now living ever saw a spontoon," and the Boston Transcript thus corrects it: "The off, cers of the Ancient and Honorable Ar tillery company of the city of Boston carry spontoons and have done so for years. Spontoon is defined by the Gen. tury dictionary as a kind of halberd or partisan formerly serving as the dis tiEguishing arm for certain officers of the British infantry To say that mo- body now living ever saw a spontoon is equivalent to saying that nobody now living ever saw the Ancients, and that of course is preposterous.'

Hong Kong advices to March 25 state
that the insurgent leaders, who are in

United States would soon declare war
against Spain and proceed to free
Cuba. In such war they foresaw the
greatest opportunity Of recent years
to drive the Spanish rulers out Of the
Philippines and forever sever allie.

Kong, including supposedly rebel lead

the rebellion be extended to every

they hope the United Sta ties will be
ready to lend assistance as means Of
furnishing Spain.
