an eruption is that of 1916. which SpilI-
bergen mentioned, but few details are
known of it. The most memora BILE
eruption. both on account of its magni-
tude and its destructive effects, is that
of 1914, when the town of Daraga was
buried deep under ashes and the streets
and buildings of Manila were covered
Win elected matter waited thither by
the wind. The outburst of 1882 was
remarkable for its duration, but since
1914 no single eruption has equaled in
magnitude that which forms the subject
OF Father Coronas' pamphlet.
Several of the outbursts of Mayon
have been preceded by earth tremors,
ana this was the case in 1897. There
We're rather severe Shocks with oscil-
lating movements, throughout the pro-
vince of Albay, in which the volcano is
situated. and the center of action was
in the Island of Masbate, south Of
that province. This was on the night
of May 13, but no signs of unusual ac-
tivity in the volcano were observed un-
til June %, and then the phenomena
gradually increased in violence until
June %.
On that day, and especially after
-noon the mountain presented a terrible
aspect. 1t Was increasingly sending in
to the air dense columns of smoke and
ashes, and large part of the sky was
turned to inky blackness. The most
violent period of the eruption lasted II
hours, and during this time an enor-
nous quantity of lava and volcanic
bombs were poured out of the summit.
1t was during this period that the
greatest destruction was wrought Lava
streams poured down the steep slopes
of the mountain, particularly on the
east and southeast sides, and 1t was i'll

If one were to judge of the styles of
1900 by the tailor made suits shown by
the wholesale suit houses we should
conclude that they We're distressingly
like those of the season just dying
But there is another side to the sub
ject. These suits We're manufactured
months ago and follow, with very small
changes, the summer models. For real
novelties we are compelled to look to
the few great retail houses who import
model gowns and wraps, and the swell
ladies tailors and modistes who do the
same. In Paris ateliers there is never
stagnation, and ever and anon there is
an under current of startling changes.
What is most noticeable at present is
the alteration of the feminine figure.
Pace the shades of Artemis and Aphro-
dite, and those sculptured perfections,
the Venuses of Milo and Medici, but
the feminine shape is generally not as
nature made it, but as fashion rules.
The present desideratum is to have
very little shape at all. Corsets are
duce an absolute fatness from the bust
downwards. There is no curve inwards
at the waist now. Wristbands are
drawn down in front to give that grace
full, sinuous appearance which the di-
vine Sarah first acquainted us with,
and which she exploits to perfection.
In short, the Empire style is coming
in again, and this forbids the use of
the ordinary corset. Instead a sort of
Iarhn &c hsa
waist comes just underneath the arms.
An empire dress, turned out by Fred
cirque for leader of fashion, exempii-
fed this to perfection; it was in fine old
rose cloth, cut to the shape perfectly
plainly, with a short spencer of ecru
embroidery, ending underneath the
arms, and no stays were to be worn
graceful, becoming or more hygienic If
properly worn. But whether the bellies
of the Goth century will wear it as
gracefully as the bellies of the first en-
pire, with the creole Josephine as an
example, is quite another story.
AS a substitute for corsets a few en-
ergetic society women, not students of
hygiene, are evoking out of their pow
erful minds a novel idea to suit the
sheath-like gowns moulded to the fig
ure, namely, to forego stays, and to
have a bodice for each dress stiffened
with bones, the exact shape of the
dress bodice, so that the back curves
gracefully and the waist is well sup
ported but supple withal
Another resurrection is the eruption
Of little bows over our frocks. Let us
hope that modern taste is too good to
allow of the meaningless plasters with
which we were pleased to aff1ict our
selves a few years ago. At present
these little bows are like Uriah Heep,
very 'umble: they unobtrusively lace
;ogether the fronts of polonaises and
tuniques, and run up the side panels
Of skirts, but there they are all the
same.

the fact that our armies in the Philip

mountain that frequently shows signs

and destructive outbursts occurred in
1897. Father Jose Coronas, desiring to

A New Way of Treating Lace.
There is a novel and effective way of
treating lace that is as yet only en-
ployed by foreign houses noted for the
originality of their creations. The new
idea is to apply fur or velvet to the
heavier laCes. For lace TO be employed
on outdoor garments the following
method is employed: For instance, on
a long loose redingote made of all-oVer

design, and lined with self-colored
