cuffs, but for morning frocks, and par
ticularly with flannel shirtwaists, tidy
custom of other days is in force, and
the women wear crisp white linen cuffs
For use with flannel waists, that have
rather broad cuffs, linen cuffbands are
wisely promoted. They are strips OF
linen about an inch wide that have
buttonholes at either end and are fas-
tened in by the link buttons that hold
the ends of the flannel cuff together.
For close-wristed, dark walking and
house gowns, cuffs are made that slip
inside the sleeve and fasten with one
handsome cabochon stud button. Usu-
ally that edge of the cuff that shows
about the wrist is prettily embroid-
cred in delicate white vine or a cou-
pie of ridges run on the outer surface
of the linen. Quite as pretty are the
cuffs that turn an eighth of an inch
over the edge of the dress sleeve, and
more novel still are cuffs that are
meant to be worn wholly on the out
side. They are broad or narrow, very
plain or richly embroidered linen bands
that clasp over the wooden sleeve by
one, two or even three studs, and add
thereby a great freshness to a sober
gown and set off a pretty hand to the
utmost advantage. MARY DEAN.

the usual apologize remarks to the
crowd. Mr. Tucker demonstrated:

Beau said he supposed $50 was about
fair for a man of Mr.. fuckers wealth
end standing. and when he had sworn
not to touch" him again for thirty
days, Mr.. Tucker handed over the
money, a $50 gold piece.
In less than three days after this
transaction Beau stopped Mr. Tucker,
saying: 'Leek here, Mr.. Tucker. 1

turn that $40 in gold you lent me-" 1t

Mrs. Astor, like Miss Fair, puts up her
locks clean as the comb will do it from
neck and forehead, and pins a stately
coil a little in front of the crown point
To this coil is then fastened an eight
inch tall bow made of black wire,
lightly wound with black tulle, on
which diamond .spangles are fastened.
These many loops of tulle-covered wire
have quite the appearance of an airy
delicacy plucked in a fairy wood and
sprinkled with dewdrops.

such that the wing seems to rest
against the head, fluttering with every
motion, instead of showing any stiff,
firm attachment to the high coiffure.
To differentiate from these lofty eff
fects, Mrs. Starr Miller has chosen as
her own the Victorian fashion of

New York Cor. Chicago Inter OCEAN,
One Of the reporters of certain morn
ing paper in this town has thrown up his
job. and this is the reason whv:
He was a war correspondent and when
he came back TO do his regular work again
he protested against several lunatical as
signments that were given to him. Several
days ago his immediate superior. who is
a gifted genius. called him to his desk and
said:
Mr.. Blank you will take this envelope
and proceed at once to the shopping dis
trict. When you get there open the en-
velOpe and proceed on the instructions it
contains"
1t was Mr.. Blanks expedition under
sealed orders. Very much myStified he
took a Broadway car to Twenty-third
street and from there he walked over to
Sixth avenue. He calculated that he was
then in about the busiest section of the
shopping district, and opened the en-
velope This is what he found on the slip
of paper within:
Get at the foundation of the shoplifting
mania at once. Is there a shcplifting mi
crobe? If so. get a picture of it.
Mr. Blank had heard of reporter who
was assigned to drive a spike into the
Broadway cable slot and write a story
about the blockade that followed. To the
best of his recollection that reporter was
discharged for refusing to obey. So he sat
down in a nearby telegraph office and
wrote out his resignation, which he sent

of the chateau when a merchant from
La Hague arrived with various stuffS
selected from his stores for the queen
to choose from. Among them there
were some brilliantly beautiful dress
goods, and the young queen looked with

their artistic colors. The queen had ar

calmly:

chair. She pulled open the glass door

And shaking her handsome blonde

like Y whirlwind of noise and fury.
These are such stories as are current
in the capital of Holland. 1t is impos-
sible to shut them within the four walls
of the city. 1t is we'll known why the
queen mother is anxious; and the loyal
subjects of the throne of Holland,
though they are proud of their little
queen, look upon her and upon her
mother with fear for the future. They
mourn for the story of the domestic

III.-Editor's Motel
Since she was a very young child,
the little princess has had a complete
idea of her own Importance. She was
hardly years old when she had the
measles. This sickness plunged the
court in mortal anxiety. One night,
when Queen Emma, worn out with
watching the little invalid, had been
forced to seek a few minutes of sleep,
two old and very exalted noblewomen,
who were permitted to share the duties
OF the queen, sat watching the royal
child. They supposed that she was
asleep, and, like the old women that
they were. they began to scheme and
indulge forbOdingS for the future of
Holland. There lay the little princess,
apparently asleep, and there sat the
two naughty old noblewomen, gossiping
and turning their gold spoons in their
perfumed tea Before daybreak Queen
Emma came back to the sick room, and
kissing the little girls feverish fingers,
she asked her if she was better. oh
