fine old point d'Alencon lace. The sleeves
and upper part of the bodice, including the
high collar. with its narrow heading of
point d Alencon lace. were closely piped;
otherwise the gown depended for its effect
on the elegance of the lace and skill of the
filter in giving to the dress that indefnable
air OF distinction that declares that it is
the work of genius in dreSSmaking. The
maids. who had ordered their gowns at
the same shop, were supplied with gar
ments of pink oriental satin, made with
finely tucked yokes and tichus of white
chiffon. With these they were to wear
white Leghorn hats trimmed with roses
and velvet ribbon.
For n Roman Wedding.
Ivory duchesse satin with a court train
that fell from the shoulders was the we'd
ding robe that was sent from Paris few
days ago to Rene, the bride-to-be being a
daughter of one of the old Venetian nobil-
ity. The wedding is to be solemniZed in
Rome because a relative of the bride, one
of the attaches of the college of cardinals
can there ofticiate and give the wedding
greater eclat-at least it is so supposed.
At any rate the splendor of a Roman we'd
ding so exceeds Venetian one that the
family can be excused for marrying it's
daugf ter from their handsome winter
home. near the Corso, instead of from
their palace on the Grand Canal
The wedding gown was trimmed with
chiffon and old Brussels lace, the skirt be-
ing open in front to disclose a petticoat of
the lace and chiffon. The train was trim
med with chiffon and knots of artificial
orange blossoms The bodice had a yoke
of lace over satin and sleeves constructed
in the same way of lace and satin. great
deal of chiffon, outinings of lace and many
orange flowers were ingeniously combined
to form the bodice of this lovely gown.
The veil to be worn with it was of tulle.
Its corners were handsomely embroidered
and coronet of orange blossoms was made
to knot the veil to the hair
The Brides Mother
Bridesmaids are unheard of at a CONT
mental wedding, so the gown next in i'm
portance to the brides-that for her moth
er-was made at the same place. 1t was
of white chiffon over white silk, trimmed
with quantities of old lace. Wastband and
collar were of orange velvet an applique
of jewels on the stomacher giving It
very brilliant appearance.
There were scores of other gowns that
looked at, but in the main they were alike.
They were mostly of white satin, some
times covered with an embroidery of sheer
material lace. All of them had long
trains. and in some way the simplicity of
the skirt was relieved either by tunic,
real or simulated or by shaped fiounce.
Where there was no other trimming a deep
overpiece of lace or a mousseline sash FELL
over the skirt in graceful folds.

underneath the brim, has a Jet ornament at
the back plume of cream feathers and
white satin strings.
Both these hats have a square notch cut
out of the brim at the back. Other hats OF
this shape have tabled or iluted curtains:
the simili or jet ornament is best suited 10
the former. When this is absent a couple
of handsome pins stuck through the back
of the hat is a pretty addition. Fresh va

These pads are simply pieces of old cloth
filled with dry leaves and tackled through
and through after the manner of comfort
ables. If one must sit by a window the
pads, suspended from the sill to the floor,
will prevent the chilliness that otherwise
seems inevitable. The padding may be
fastened to the lower part of the sill and
then tackled to the floor. while short cur
tains attached to tapes and fastened to the
castings just above the sils will conceal the
pads from view. Cushions of the leaves
made to lay at the bottom of outside doors
where the snow and wind make persistent

Odd COnceit for N Shelf,
From the New York Herald.


Women who poke into odd corners in the
Japanese stores may have seen and won
dered what earthly use could be made of
the grotesque masks and faces which are
piled into large baskets set here and there
on the counters. There are all kinds and
sorts and conditions of them. Some are
solemn, some are jolly, some are sad, while
old Satan has a generous representation
among these apparently useless articles OF
bric-a-brac They are fashioned of a dark
reddish brown metal, and are as rule the
most notwithstanding objects.
Well, a new use has been found for them.
An inventive woman having a shelf over
her doorway to ornament conceived the
idea of putting up a row of these Japanese
masks, something after the fashion of the
singing cherubs. So down she went to the
japanese store and selected about a dozen
of the oldest of these many odd heads, and
then she arranged them artistically and
placed them on the edge of her shelf, where
they looked like the front row of gro-
tesque chorus.

woman, worn out with the high pressure
of what we call living, has found there the

wHEELER's SUGGESTION
Looking to Utilization OF Troops to be
Added to ARMY

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. os-AIa-
3or General Wheeler has offered the
war department u suggestion looking to
the utilization Of the troops TO be added
to the army under the terms of the
pending reorganization bill in the reg
ular establishment, instead of in the
volunteer branch. The compromise
measure permits the President to re-
crult such portion OF the $4,000 volun-
teers to be added to the regular army
in time of emergency from the natives
OF the Islands of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines as he may elect Cen
eral Wheeler argues that these men can
be brought TO much higher state of
efficiency, and be made Of greater value
to the military establishment II lncor-
porated in the regular army than II in
the volunteer branch
The status of General Wheeler him
self is said to be such that he must take
some action towards choosing again be-
tween the army and Congress within a
few days. 1t Is believed at the war de
partment that IL he retains his army
commission until after noon on the .4th
of March. next Saturday. he will forfeit
his seat in the house OF representatives
FOR the ensuing two years under the
ruling Of the judiciary committee. to the
effect that by holding such commits
sion an officer surrenders his seat In
Congress.

CHEYENNE, .Wyo.. Feb. 2S.-The
worst storm OF the season so far as the
railroads are concerned. IS. raging in
Wyoming. 1t is blizzard OF squaIly
Stow storms. accompanied BY winds
with velocity OF sixty miles an hour.
All railroad cuts are filled and no tylins
are moving. The eastbound fast mail
Is snowbound at Laramie. Three rotar-
les and hundred shovels are trying to
open the line. The Denver Pacific and
Cheyenne Pacific are blocked. Railroad
men pronounce this the worst storm OF
ten years. While damaging to the rail-
roads the storm Will aid the stockmen
as the wind will uncover the ranges and
give the cattle chance to get feed.
The temperature Is considerably below
