and canes into the arena in their ex- citement, Again they faced, and this time, as before, all waited in breathleSs suspense Both rushed. The sword was driven well home, the brute stag gered, fell and was immediately given it's death blow by a stroke back of the head with a dagger in the hands of a picador. Bouquets ,hats and canes covered the arena. SenOrita Lopez vanished in the confusion. The bull fight was over.
 It was g o'clock in the evening when I reached the theater. Directing my attention first to the occupants of the boxes, imagine my surprise to see seat ed in one of them the heroine of the bull fight. There was Laura Lopez, the center of a throng of admirers. She had dOffed the picturesque masculine costume of velvet, gold and lace of the "prima espada" which had won her so much admiration in the arena, and was now attired in a magnificent creation.
 I met her later at the hotel. On the wall of her room swung the sword which earlier in the day she had used so fearleSsly and deXterously in the arena. Turning to the smiling face of its fair owner, was perpleXed to con- found the one with the other. A more critical examination of the sword and I observed engraved upon the blade near the hilt, the name Laura Lopez Seville, Spain" Observing that I was reading the inscription, she hastened to remark that this sword had been pre- sented to her at the time she had killed her first "torO," in her native city, Se- vile.
 Then to-day was not your debut in the arena?" asked.
 Yes, on American soil" she replied Senorita Lopez is barely 30. She is well formed and muscular, and necessarily as agile as a cat. Her face betrays no brutal instincts All Caracas insists that she is beautiful.

 Under the general head of collars ana neck ornaments comes a list of articles long enough to fill a catalogue. It IS, in fact, in her neck ornaments especially that the French woman can always be distinguished wherever she IS. And if a man here were in doubt what to buy a woman for a Christmas present he could safely buy some one Of the thousand connections of ribbons and silk and lace and not make a mis- take, that Is, if the woman was French. The American woman doesn't take so kindly, especially at first, to Marie Antoinette f1chus, collarettes of accordion-plaited silk and fluffy af- fairs of ribbon and lace. She wears her street gowns plain, with perhaps a brocade at the throat or a plain linen collar and a bow. And her matinee gowns are made with fancy collars, so she has no need for these extra chemi- zettes of lace which slip and slide from place to place.
 A French woman always wears a bit of lace linked about her throat some where. If it is not in her dress she will put it inside the collar of her cloak or cape, with a bright piece of ribbon or velvet Just now feather boas of all colors, real or imaginary, are being much worn. A color to match the dress or the hat is consid- cred chic. They are worn long or short, generally in accordance with the pocketbook of the owner.

 To wash a glass from which milk has heen poured plunge first into cold water before putting it into warm. The same rule holds good with egg cups or spoons from which eggs have been eaten.
 The quality of water may be tested by putting about a pint into clear glass bottle with a stopper. Add to if a few grains of white lump sugar and expose the bottle in a light, warm room for ten days. If the water then has a thick or discolored appearance it is impure and not fit for drinking purposes. It is unwise to allow drink ing water to run through lead pipes.
 When fastening a glove always but ton the second button first. This re- moves the strain from the wrist button. Never pull at the finger ends when re- moving gloves. Draw them wrong side out from the wrist, and allow them to remain until thoroughly cooled before turning them again. Do not roll gloves into a ball; always spread them out fiat and draw the fingers into shape. Dark gloves have the effect of diminishing while light ones increase the apparent size of the hand.
 Coffee stains may be removed from table linen by pouring boiling water over the stained portions. Subsequent washings in clear warm water with a good laundry soap will completely

ElNORITA l4AO RA LOPEZ has
 left Seville, Spain, to kill the
 great, fierce bulls of Venezuela.
 She oficiated the other day at E>@- the Circo, before a tremendous
 crowd, and the grace and fln-
 ish of her performance put to shame the efforts of her male rivals. Such an exhibition of womans pluck and skill Caracas had never before wit messed She is the idol of the hour.
 Arriving shortly after 8 o'clock, we had found ourselves among the first who were clamorously anxious to gain admission. Frantic efforts to reach the box office, in which we were finally sue cessful, secured us seats upon the shady side of the arena at cost of four bolivares each (about 80 cents)
 We were seated at the left of the box of the President and of the stand of the National Military Band, which is situated just above and in the rear of the Presidents box. As fast as human ity could crush itself into a given space. ''the au'' of Caracas seemed beehiVing into this palace of pastime. The grand circle, which l learned seated 1000, was quickly filled, and soon a Surging mass of humanity was struggling for the preferred space in the aisles and in the passages in the rear of the auditorium. Our early arrival enabled us to thor oughly appreciate the costumes of the women, who were now rapidly filling the boxes, and whose somber robes in the early portion of the day had chaI- lenged our more serious admiration
 The military band, which had now arrived, saluted the assembled multi tude with the national hymn. The ar rival of each woman, attired in a rich ParlSlan robe, as she took her seat in box, was greeted with rounds of ap- plause and approbation by the other spectators, who by this time were thor oughly in the amusement spirit The arrival or the Governor and party, who occupied the box of the President, was hailed with a salute from the band
 Promptly at 4 o'clock, at a signal from the Governor, the trumpets of the herald sounded. Two massive doors leading into the arena were thrown open as by magic, and the famous band or spanish bull fighters made a royal entrance, amid the deafening applause of more than 5000 admirers, which con- pletely drowned the salute of the mill tary band.
 A moment later the smiling face of a proud and naughty senorita of Spain was seen in the audience. The mighty roar of Laura, Laura I,opezl'' shook the ediffce to it's foundations. There she was, the heroine of the hour, the idol of the pODulace in the center Of an escort of picadOrs of as good material as comes from sunny Spain. The names of Potoco, Troni and Bomba are famous in all parts of the world where the pastime of bull fighting is practiCed.
 One more the bugle of the herald sounded, and from somewhere a large red bull came trotting into the arena, ornamented with a tri-colored rosette He stood for a moment in the center of

 It had been lung thrust" and did not meet the perfect appreciation of the audience. While some cheered others hissed. The band struck up a lively piece and the dead bull was dragged from the arena hurriedly by a pair of mules, gorgeously caparisoned with bright colored harness and curious brass mountings. Again the trumpet sounded, and the second bull appeared in the arena. This animal proved too tame ana at the demand of the audi ence was driven from the scene

All expected that some violent action was to take place and many feared that her abil- ity to kill was wanting. I glanced at her just as the crowd commenced to call her name, and I noticed her face blanched before the ordeal. Neverthe- less she showed no signs of fear as she walked to the center of the arena and calmly awaited the first charge nf the calmly awaited the first charge of the bull. Armed only with a bright col ored cloak she advanced toward him with firm step. He charged the rag and she deXterously lodged his on- slaught.
 This action brought forth a round of applause and a call for the banderillas A male admirer handed down two beautiful ones. They were taken to her by Potoco, who, lowing to her as he presented them, had just time to get a short distance away before the bull charged again, and received both ban derillas well back in the neck, delivered with great coOlnesS and precision from the hands of the woman.
 Then the bull tore about the arena, scattering the picadores like partridges Running to the side, Laura Lopez re- ceived her sword and scarlet mantle and was again on the aggressive. There was a short space of silence as she slowly raised her sword, the bull charg- ing as she did so straight for the cloth Her aim was true, but her strength lacking. Although the flesh was Dierc- ed the sword was Wrenched from bar hands and carried several feet bv the bull in the wound she had inflicted be- fore it fell tC the ground and was re- covered.
