White cloth s,frocks are very smart,
and one treated with lavender-blue

Four-in- hand scarfs, with very long
ends that reach the belt, will this
spring be worn with smart tailor-made
shirt waists of fancy silk, faille, silk
dotted French mohair, etc. The scarfs
are of plain satin, and black, white,

varieties displayed.
Hosiery is growing decidedly more
frisky. Plain black stockings, once
so universally favored, have no place
in the up-to-date woman's wardrobe.
Black Isle thread stockings have in
tricate stripes and plaids and zigzag
lines interviewer in silk in such COM

those of black silk are elaborately en-

Climate of the Ladrones.

Both the Eadroncs and the Carolines
are peculiarly favored in respect to
climates and soil. The temperature
is mild and equable almost to fault.
In the Ladrones it varies from 20. de-
erees to so degrees Fahrenheit, and in
the Carolines from "a to "a degrees.
The native population, moreover, is
passicnately attached to the country
and flag Of their beloved teachers, the
Americans Therefore there is no dan
ger Of a native problem arising like
that found in the Philippines. The
soil of all the larger islands is Of in
exhaustible fertility, well watered. and
yields all tropical and sub-troDical
products in profusion. Among these
may be mentioned rice. maize, taro,
sugar. tobacco, cotton, indigo; besides
fruit, such as cocoanuts, breadfruit,
bananas, oranges, pineapples. Deer,
cattle and swine have been introduced:
in the western islands and run wild
in the mountains where the waters
swarm with fish aid turtle.

OaIdess Louly Ink-por.

One of "Ouida's'' peculisrities is
that she cannot write at a table, but
invariably writes with q pad on her
knee and an ink-pot on the carpet. In
this way she will sit for hours at a
time. It is incidentally related that
on occasions she has written as much
as 10000 words at a single sitting,
but this is statement that surpasses
belief, however prodigious her powers
of work. Authors have been known
to dictate $4,000 words at sitting,
but to write 10000 words, or twelve
full columns at stretch, is test Of
physical endurance to which even so
prolific and indefatigable a writer as
"Ouida" would hardly care to submit
herself.

Proper Care Of Shoes.

Although small feet have gone out
Of fashion it is not to be supposed
that feet are not as much thought OF
as formerly, or their proper equip
ment matter OF as much considera-
ton. As matter of fact, shoes and
their proper care are Of much greater
moment with fashionable people than
ever before, and women's footgear at
the present time forms one Of the most
important parts of their attire. Alady's
maid who does not understand the
proper care of her mistress's shoes is
not up to date.
By proper care it does not mean
simply that they are to be cleaned if
muddy and patent dressing put on
when they become shabby. A we'll
made shoe should not resort to the lat
ter aid until it is in extrenis. A shoe
should be cared for and polished with
out varnish for long while before
such sticky aids are necessary. With
patent leather, for instance, people
who are particular about their shoes
use certain ikind Of cream. If this
is put on sparingly and afterward we'll
polished with bit of soft flannel rag
it gives soft lustre that is much more
reined-looking than the thick, shiny
varnish which in the end destroys the
leather, instead of preserving it. For
kid or morocco perfectly harmless
dressing, and one that will not wear
off for long while, is common jet
black ink. The ink should be put on,
allowed 10 get dry and then rubbed
with dry cloth to get off all the su-
perfuous ink, and then, taking the
white of an egg which has been beaten
until it is thin but not frothy, it should
be rubbed over the shoe with the fin
ger.
To clean and treat any boot OF shoe
properly it should be put on stree"
made to fit it. This will entirely pre-
vent those ugly lires and wrinkles
which disfgare so many shoes below
the instep. Shoes that are already
wrinkled may be put on "trees,"
dampened with a sponge and the
wrinkles smoothed out with an ivory
or bone knife or paper-cutter.
Another good plan, when the shoe
is stiff with repeated varnishings and
wettings, is to put it on the stree"
and thoroughly scrub it with an old
nailbrush, and afterward rub it soft
with glycerine before applying the
new dressing.
Russet shoes may be cleaned in
this way very successfully with soap
and water, and afterward polished mp
with beeswax and turpentine to then
pristine glory. In short, with shoes,
as with everything else, it is the in
telligent care given them that marks
the difference between q well-groomcd
man or woman and one who is lax IL
those matters, and is therefore less al
tractive.-New York Tribune. =

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkhan.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. NJ. RANK, No. 1854
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago Ihad womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not See
ing any improvement. At times 7
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, bat kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that I did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, I thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured.
81 continued this way until the last
of February, when I saw ina paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegcta-
bic Compound. determined to try it,
and felt better after the irst dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
ci1e.'''

women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,

Fancy Work Tor Girls.

Since the wearing Of fringes has
come in again many Of the girls have
taken to making them themselves, as
handsome, we'll made fringe is O
very expensive thing to buy. Strands
Of pretty beads and spangles may be
had for very moderate prices, and
fringe making is a nice sort Of fancy
work for any girl to try. One New
York girl is making herself beauti-
fu, ringe for trimming the bodice and
down the front seams of the skirt Of a
black satin evening gown. On mar.
row silver cord which she bought for
five cents yard, sheis sewing strands
of small beads, of alternate cut steel
and black jet; the fringe when COM
pleted Will be about five inches long,
and on the end of each strand she has
sewed larger bead as finish.
Some one else was heard of the
other day as making a ribbon fringe,
which was exceedingly effective, and
less work than one made of beads. 1t
was of narrow black taffeta ribbon
about half an inch wide. A band Of
the ribbon was taken for foundation,
and on this were folded over in point
at the top and sewed pieces of ribbon
from four to FIVE inches in length. At
the end of each piece was large jet
bead. Any colored ribbon could be
used in making this fringe, and the
ends finished off with beads, spangles
or sequins. A very pretty idea is to
make the fringe of the different shades
of one color. For instance, all the
shades of green, from dark to light,
with opal beads at the end.-Harper's
Bazaar.

The Rev Spring Dress Goods.

<silks occupy prominent position
In fabrics for the spring season and
are in vogue both for waists and full
costumes.
Black taheta is much favored, bu1
fancy silks hold the vantage ground,
aad stripes which were we'll received
during the winter months have e1-
tended their popularity with spring
goods.
Chine silks have been revived and a
subdued appearance is given the
colors ty misty effect, which is in
high favor in New York and Paris.
Bordered silks, plain and figured,
are now being shown in the leading
stores, and are being chosen for cos
tunes by the leading Paris dressmak-
ers, the borders being artistically en-
ployed for ornamentation. -
Printed grenadines and printed
mousseline de sole are fashions, es-
pecial farorites for evening and for
summer wear, and will be made up
over colored foundations. The high
art designs represent floral effects
portrayed in colors of natural flowers.
Such materials will be in favor for
waists and for full costumes.
Hairline stripes are the dominant
designs in wool and in worsted dress
goods, and are especially desirable for
tailor.made suits. Broadcloths, Vene-
tians and cheviots, particularly in
black, will also be freely used. AS
the tailor-made gown is to lose none
of its popularity, abundant provision
has been made fer collection of neat
effects in worsted dress goods suitable
for such costumes.
Wash goods are to gain additional
recognition, so say the potentates OF
fashion. While all wash goods will
be employed for summer garments,
heavy materials, plain and printed,
will hold first place. Plain and fancy
piques, ginghams, madras cloths and
fancy ginghams of silk and cotton are
to be the leading fabrics. American
