Cotton Frabrics For shirtwaists.

COTTON fraDrlcS OF SnlfJWAISLs.
"Flimsy shirt waists are a snare
and a delusion," was the general
verdict of women last summer.
The shirt waist to be the ideal
thing aud the delight of men and
women alike, must be natty-loOSing,
and tiimsy stutfs can never be that.
Those made of sheer linen, or
CANDY and batiste may have been
things of beauty, but they were GER
tainly not joys forever, for they left
most of their beauty behind them
in the wash.
The shirt waist of 1898 will look
better every time it is washed. This
is announced with assurance, for
every woman knows how nicely cot
ton cheviOt, pique, duck ana fine
ginghams "dO up"
The spring and summer shirt
waists now displayed in the big
stores are even more comfortable
models than those of last summer,
ana "solid comfort" is the thing
that has made the shirt waist the
most favored of all garments.
Stripes-wide stripes-are very
n0dish, and run round az we'll as up
and down.
Stripes running round the figure
give plump look to even the most
angular, while those going up and
down produce slender effect. Con-
sequently all figures may be suited
in latest shirt waists.
Small checks are many in the
heavy and durable stuffs of which
the most modish shirt waists are to
be made.
A waist made of bias plaid is also
very smart looking. Plaid, as one
quite naturally concluded some
time ago, has found its way among
the cotton stutfs, and appears in all
its pristine gayety.
AS Tor the cut of the '98 shirt waist
it has q oke at the back, short
front yoke, to which the blouse ii
gathered quite full, and at the waist
! it pouches more, perhaps, than it
ever has before. The sleeves are
very moderate, with rather narrow
cuffs-in fact, almost exactly the
original shirt sleeve.
Every waist has its collar, a bright
straight standing affair, of the same
mateiial. From this one naturally
infers that white linen collars will
not be in vogue, but | am told by an
authority that while the collar to.
match will be the most fashion
able, while collars are permitted
or, ra her, are bound to b. worn to q
large extent, because of their con
venience.

stylish Gloves.

Midwinter has developed some
charming novelties IN gloves.
Among these especially to be noted
is the black glove of smooth kid,
stitched down the back in white,
with an imch-wide band of heavy
white lace insertion at the wrist, a
strip of the black kid an inch-wide
and then finishing edge of white
lace, put on without wrinkle.
Nothing more modish than this
for semi dress can be found.
The gloves for evening wear, will
long lacetops, can hardly be spoken
of as novelties, though they are
just coming into popularity after q
long time ON view in the fashionable
shops.
The newest lace-topped gloves,
notice, have spangles or gold .anc
silver threads outlining the lace
pattern. The lace topped glove
is really the most attractive thing
that has appeared for some time

How to Keep Young.

The ever-youthful appearance of
the members of the dramatic pro-
fession is a constant source of sur
prise to the public at large, says
What to Eat. The reason for this
is not so much in the material
necessarily used in making up,
which obliterates to certain eX-
tent the natural wrinkles of the
skin, while it lubricates and nour-
ishes it; but it is due to the change
in the expression of the various
emotions which every part or i'm
PRESERVATION demands. This causes
the actor to bring into play all tns
muscles of the face. Bv using them
equally, they all maintain their
firm consistency and strength, and
none wastes away from disuse. The
result is that the skin is KEEP:
stretched and tense over the face
and does not fall into hollows.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1898-02-25

The long, wrinkled kid topped glove
has always a clumsy and unfinished
appearance. The top always sug-
gested to one the dea that it should
continue all the way up and allow
itself to be hidden by the sic eve.
The lace top is decidedly finished
in appearance, as well as being
elegant in effect and becoming to
the arm Of the wearer.
Black gloves, with black lace tops,
are most charming.
Narrow ribbons run through the
lace are drawn up to hold the deli
cate top in place, and tie in fascinat-
ing little bows.
Gloves for street wear either
match the gown or are of black or a
fawn shade of brown. White gloves
stitched with black and white are
still much worn for semi-dress,
nothing, as yet, quite as pretty and
appropriate having usurped their
place.-St Louis Republic.

Ex-senator John j. Ingalls,, of
Kansas, whose fame as a brilliant
writer, and man of remarkable scholar
ship and literary attachments, is even
greater than that of the distinguished
senator, announces a new book on
the subject of the American-Spanish-
Cuban war. 1t is entitled 'sAmerica's
War for Humanity in Picture and
Story" 1t is published by the n. d.
Thompson Publishing company, of ST..
Louis, Mo-, and is an exhaustive dis
cussiOn of the causes of the war, and
an equally exhaustive history of it's
Incidents, and a brilliant analysis of
the famous characters conducting it,
1t promises to be the one great and
popular work called forth by this
wonderfully interesting national
episode. Whatever Senator Ingalls,
touches he adorns; and this book
shines and sparkles in the light of his
genius. The present work is worthy
of his genius, and will be monument
to his fame. The subject now SO en-
crosses the popular mind as to forecast
for this book sale that will be uni
versal. 1t will be sold by subscrip-
ton only, and the canvassing samples
are now ready for agents. We adver-

DO We Want an Anglo American ALI
ance?
FOR

| FOR.
Some of the advantages to be gained
from an Anglo American alliance
would be these:
The harmonious action of 400,
600 people, constituting one-t third Of
the human race.
The absolute security of our terri
tory from invasion by a land force
since Canada constitutes the only
base from which such an invasion
would be practicable.
The safety of Chicago, Buffalo,
Cleveland, Detroit and all our other
lake ports from any possible attack,
since England holds the keys to their
only gates.
The practical unity of the North
American continent.
The assistance of the strongest
navy in the world, almost insuring
our seaports against bombardment
or blockade by the fleets of any COM
bination of powers.
The use Of coaling stations distrib-
uted at all the most desirable points
on the globe.
The acceptance of the Monroe doc
trlne by the country that has the
most occasion and the most power
to dispute it.
The assurance that IN whatever
part of the world an American heard
his own language spoken he would be
among friends.
The probability that such a combi-
nation, with it's inexhaustible re-
sources IN men, money and ships,
would discourage attack and make
for universal peace.
AGAINST.
Among the things we should have to
take into account before consenting
to anything in the nature of an ALI
ance With England are:
The chances that we might be in
volved in numberless quarrels, not of
our seeking, and not naturally affect
ing us.
The danger that we might find our
selves obliged to depart from our ira
ditional policy Of opposition to large
standing armies.
The risk Of losing some of the alb
solute independence of action that
has hitherto been the chief feature of
our foreign policy.
The disadvantage of admitting an
other power into such intimate rela-
tions that it might claim voice in
the settlement of purely American
matters.
The enormous expense in which we
might become involved for objects of
no immediate interest to Americans.
The probability that such an ALI
ance would embroil us with other
powers that were our friends when
England was not one, and that might
be expected to continue so if we
maintained our isolation.

THE DISAPPEARING TRAY.

result OF Putting q Japanese Metal
Ash Receiver Upon "a Hot stove.
Ii you ever use one of those little
, fancy japanese metal trays sold about
the streets for ash receivers, don't put
it on the stove, though that happens to
be handy place for a circle of smok-
ers to reach. That was what the OBJ
servant Jerseyman did the other night
at his country home, says the New
York Sun.
He and his sons were sitting about a
big stove on a cold night, all smoking,
and for convenience he put the ash re-
ceiver on sort Of shelf at the back of
the stove against the smoke pipe. When
he went to bed he left the ash receiver
there. The following morning his wife
discovered it. 1t was perfect in ap-
pearance and form, and still held the
pile of ashes, burned match ends, and
cigar butts which had been deposited
in it the night before. She was about
to pick it up, when she bethought her
self that it might be hot Taking some
thing, therefore, to push it with, she
attempted to slide it off upon plate.
The moment she touched it the ash
receiver lost it's form, became liquid
and ran off the stove upon the floor in
shining stream of white metal. The
heat of the stove had been sufficient to
melt the pewter, of which it was COM
posed, and it had probably stood there
for hours, all in a liquid form, except
the little crust of oxide and lacquer
upon it's outer surface This crust had
been coherent enough 20 keep the tray
in form until touch broke it, and then
the whole had COLLAPSED

Thousands of women fail of this for one
great prevalent reason. While thew resort
to every device to preserve their beauty of
complexion by external applications and
possibly take the best care of their general
health, they are too frequently utterly neg

On the whole, it may be said that
while the discussion of an alliance
may not be premature, it's conclusion
would be, in present conditions. We
are engaged just now in little war
with Spain. We certainly need no
assistance for that. But if three or
four of the great powers of Europe
should form a syndicate and under
take to gouge us out Of our victory,
as they did with Japan, we might be
glad to have England's help.
On the other hand we certainly have
no desire to accompany England
around the globe, standingguard over
her with a gun while she dumps such
African, Asiatic and Oceanic valuables
as she can lift into her bag. But if any
continental combination should set
upon Britannia and threaten to do
her serious harm, we think it safe to
say that such a combination would
have to reckon with Uncle Sam.
That is as far as the project of an
alliance seems likely to go at present.

LIVING PROGENY OF FISH,
ViviparOus Pisces Recorded In the
Territory of Arizona.


Territory of Arizona.
A doubt that has troubled scientists
for years-Whether there exists a vivi-
parous kind of fish, one that gives birth
to its young in a living state-was def
nitely settled in the affirmative the
other day, when the city hall fountain
of the capital of Arizona territory was
cleaned out. In turning the water out
of the big cement basin, where gold
fish variety of the carp family has long
disported itself for the edifcation of
the Phoenix nurse girl and the Mari
copa county hobo, it was found that
many of the fish had given birth to
progeny fully formed and ready to dart
in search Of food at the moment of COM
ing into their watery world. Others
had given birth to tiny creatures that
were globular in shape, except for the
protruding eyes and nascent tail fin
that could scarcely. be seen without a
strong glass. From all the evidences,
it was clear that the cleanup had been
made during the breeding season, vet
there was no sign of fish roe or eggs.
Many specimens of the strange young
fish were collected, and will be shipped
to different experts, one lot going to the
Smithsonian institution.
