DIVIDED SILK PETTIcoATS.
FrIIIs and Lace and ROsettes OF Many
CoIorS on Lingerie.

Color on Lingerie.
Evening ~petticoats, to give them the
old-fashioned name that has been GUST
ed by the more modern "underskirt,"
are quite regal in their magniicence
this winter, and rich brocades, and the
finest glaces are trimmed profusely
with lace and chiffon frills. An even
ing skirt that deserves mention is of
heavy satin duchesse in an ivory shade,
with q bottom flounce of killed ivory
lace, with two frills of accordion-plait-
ed chiffon failing over that again, their
colors being palest green, with faint
rose-pink forming the upper founce.
A ruche of frayed-out green and pink
silk finished the top of the hounce, and
above this again were vandyked rows
of valenciennes lace insertion laid al
ternately over green and pink satin
ribbon of the same width. The inser-
tion was laid off with a narrow lace
beading, through which was threaded
bebe ribbon of pale green and pink
which broke out at intervals into pretty
little fussy rosettes OF the two colors
blended.
Yet another pretty garment to be
seen is of rose-red giace silk OF the
richest description, with two foamy
iounces of killed glace, covered in their
turn with killed rose-red chiffon with
au edge trimming Of cream lace headed
with insertion.
A black brocade, with pattern OF
leur-de-lis and their leaves. has an IN
der flounce of he.iotrope killed silk,
covered with two founces of plated
black lace, threaded with heliotrope and
green narrow ribbons, and headed with
a wide black lace Insertion that gives
opportunity for the introduction OF
heliotrope satin ribbon, which is fin
ished at intervals with hanging bows.
A pale blue glace silk skirt, with a
plain founce Of the anne, is made beau
tiful by this founce being covered with
inch-vSlde frills of cream plated chiffon
edged with blue velvet bebe ribbon.
Divided skirts for evening wear are
very pretty garments in satin or rich
silk. with the legs very wide, and fully
frilled with lace, chiffon OF killed silk,
and to those who delight in divided
skirts these garments are just the pref
t!est wear possible, for they do not
look very different to ordinary skirts,
on account OF their very full frills at the
edge. But to insure the proper and ele-
giant fall of the outer skirt, there Is
nothing to surpass a well hung petit
coat with full outstanding hounces.-

WHALING IN The ARCTIC.
Dangers Encountered by Those EN-
rnoed In the Calling.

Encountered by Those En-
gagged I'm the Calling
To appreciate the dangers of arctic
whaling 1t Is necessary to know only
q few Of the stories Of disasters that
are frequent enough in the industry,
News has recently come OF the fate OF
the steam-whaler Novarch, Of New Bed
ford. The captain, his wife, and w
officers escaped from the vessel after
she was caught in the ice, and after
many s~ufferings they were escued by
O venue cutter. The crew, 30 in num-
Der, stayed by the steamer. The food
finally gave out, and then the steamer
sank, but not before nearly half of the
crew had died from starvation and eH-
posure. The 16 survivors could do
nothing but trust themselves to the
floating ice-hoes which bore them
hither and thither in the arctic cur
rents. Day after day passed with no
relief in sight. For nearly two weeks
the wretched sailors floated along, sut.
fering the indescribable tortures Of
hunger. AS q last resort they even ate
greedily of the skins which served aA
their clothing, Out OF more than SC
persons VINO ealleu on the NaNaTCu, IL
persisted. Stories like this are all toe
common In the history Of the whaling
industry.
In view of the story Of the Navarch,
the news which has recently come from
the whaling feet is alarming. 1t Is to
the effect that seven other vessels are
caught In the Ice near Herschell island.
The United States government will at
tempt to get provisions to the ice-bound
feet, but the success OF the expedition
is doubtful. 1t is barely possible that
the whaling crew may make their way
across the ice-helds and the wastes Of
northern Alaska to the Klondike set
Elements. II is also possible that the
crews may stick to the feet and may
perchance maintain life in some
wretched fashion through the long
arctic winter. The great danger is
that some mighty movement of the ice
foes may crush the imprisoned vessels
like so many egg-shells; and that fate
is all too likely to be realized.-Guild

NOVEL VALENTINE DINNER.
A Cniqus ARaIr as Enjoyed by q So
jOurner in Denmark.

A Unique Afair as Enjoyed by q So
IOurner in Denmark.
In Denmark our well-known snow
drop, one Of the earliest messengers Of
spring, has been since olden days held
sacred to st. Valentine.
On that suspicious eve the Danish
lover sends his lady a bunch OF snow
drops (~vinter-gjaeks, winter-jokes they
are called, because they peep out while
It is yet winter, and try to hoax people
into thinking spring has Gomez, with a
card attached, bearing a verse or sentl-
ment and as many ~pin-pricks as there
are letters in his name. If she cannot
guess the name from this clew h Is
fooled (gjakket), and at Easter must
pay the sender a forfeit of colored eggs.
This quaint bit of folklore was used
in a novel Valentine dinner.
The Invitations, bearing q bunch of
painted snow-drops in one corner, be-
spoke our presence at a Danish Valen-
tine dinner"
Cherry and white are the national col
ors of Denmark, and these had been
used with beautiful effect in the dining
room. The ferns were banked with
dainty effect. The menu cards were
shaped like hearts, tied with q knot OF
cherry ribbon and edged with painted
snowdrops.
Across the top in gold letters was the
word "welbekomin" (may it agree with
you).
II is the custom in old Danish house
holds for the hostess to shake the hand
Of each guest leaving the table and say
"Welbekomin;" but u hostess found
it too long a mouthful, so it was written
above the menu instead.
At each place was u tiny heart-shaped
cup of cherry crepe paper, holding a lit
tie bunch Of snowdrops. The Ices were
in the shape of hearts with a candied
cherry In the center OF each. Heart
shaped cakes were Iced In pink, and min
gled In the salad were tiny hearts cut
from slices of red beef.
When we were all assembled in the
parlor the little daughter of the house
came In, dressed as a fairy, with a bas'
ket, from which she gave us each Il
square white envelope inclosing a card.
A knot Of snowdrops was tied in one
corner with cherry ribbon, while below
was II verse and numerous pin pricks
we were asked to guess from these the
name OF the one who was to take us In
to dinner.-Sharlot NJ. Hall, in What-to'

GAMBLING SCHEME BLOCKED.
Chicago Man Who Wanted 90 Sell Pools on
weather Futures" Advised Not
to Undertake Il.

CHICAGO, March s9.-The government
will not allow anyone to gamble on
the weather mans predictions or to
operate q lottery on the predictions.
A Chicago man conceived the idea of
forming q pool op the state of the
weather on April go next. He pro-
posed to sell tickets at 81 each, and to
award prizes running from $50 to Sl0,-
900. He wrote to the post office depart
ment t find out If the mails would be
closed against his scheme. Attorney
barrett for the department at Wash
ington wrote the opinion which has
reached Chicago. The opinion says:
Althoua b the weather bureau with improved
appliances forecasts with u certain degree OF
accuracy conditions Of the weather for "a hours
IN advance. yet for persons throughout the
country TO make forecasts so far ahead as April
20 next would seem TO be entirely q matter or
chance II operated through the mails this
scheme would be held by this ONCE to be a Vio-
lntion OF the lottery law.

kLoNDIKe "FREIeHT CARS"
A Name for Women and Dogs Tint
Pack" LOGdS.

A young man who is in charge Of a
party # gold-scekers on the route 70
the Klondike sends a fun account by
letter to a companion in Spokane Of
the means by which he has been trans
porting his supplies northward. One
of these means was n pacl-dog which
ha" zen deuominated, on account of
his importance, a "KlonTike freight
car"
He is not Il large dog" say the ct
ter-writer, but ne vii pack - pounds
through the snow after the snowshoes
have made the trail. Dogs that viii
pack 10 or 50 pounds arc common.
The Indians a: Madison Creek move
everything with dogs. They handled
something like 100000 feet Of logs in
that way last season. Some CT the logs
we're 40 feet long and 3 feet in diam
eter. They use no horses in this coun-
try in winter. The dogs are fed only
u night, and then but half of a dried
salmon. The natives live on the same
feed.
The priest is the high ruler among
them. 1t was he who caused this years
extra supply of fish to be kept; he told
P0f W NLCASA - ~ tCaA9a
Now they eat the fish they caught
the summer before last. 1t is not IN
common to see fish piled as high as
25 TO 80 feet, al dried. II rests on posts
sat in the ground, and on the top Of the
posts are kettles to keep mice and
squirrels from getting at the fish"
Another Klondike freight car"
which this expedition came across was
a "klootchman," or Indian woman, who
did not weigh more than 125 pounds,
but who would, nevertheless, carry a
barrel of provisions weighing not less
than $50 pounds, nailed to a board and
the board strapped on her back. With
this burden she marched 80 miles be
tween daylight and dark, making camp
at night, and keeping it up.
The Americans rho have taken the
Klondike trail need no convincing that
tnc notion that ar Indian won't work.
is Il fallacy. But for Indian packers,
male and female, no gold would have
been brought out Of Alaska, for no sup
plies for the miners could have been
taken in.-Youth's Companion.
