elusive styles from the couturieFs, for fur
bellows and tlounces had become popular.
Therefore we are forewarned that the
latest and most fashionable skirts are
quite plain, fastening invisibly in front or
at the sides or buttoning down the back.
These skirts are anatomical in cut and
fit from the waist to the knees, where
they still flare prettily, running out in I,
round pointed tail at the back. The only
modification of this style of skirt that is
now allowed by Dame Fashion is the
t,tnic, polonaise or redingote. For tall
wemen these fashions are charming. as
the skirt and ovetdress are, generally of
different colors. Short WOMEN will find
that they detract from the height and
should avoid them. Many of the tunic
and polonaise gowns are made with belts.
This simplifes the work of the dress
maker, she can cut waist and skirt sepa-
rately, joining them at the waist, be-
meath the belt.

pasaed subsequently into the usage of the

upon earth to the GentiIes; with special
reference to the manifestation to the three
wise men who came from the east to
Worship him.
& The primitive Christian celebrated the
feast of the nativity for twelve days, OBJ
serving the first and the last with great
solemnity and both of these days were de.
nominated Epiphany, the first the greatpr

day become: incarnate, and the latter the

Spain and the Spaniards,

It is not true that the Spaniard is nat
nrally cruel. The ferocities of which he
has unquestionably been guilty have
come from his unbusinesslike Incidence.
He let's trouble come from want of pre-
caution in time, and it finds him UMPIRE
pared. Then he falls into the rage of
the indolent man who is aroused out of
his Incidence, and strikes savagely. Con
duct of that kind proves his incapacity
for government, and is seen at it's worst
where he has to deal with Creoles, who
repeat his own faults in an exaggerated
form, and with half-breeds For that
reason. among others, be has lost his
colonial empire. 1t would be mistake,
however, to suppose that Spain is de-
caying. The population has nearly, if
rot quite, doubled in the present century,
and the country in itself is infinitely bet
ter off than it was 100 years ago. The
loss of Cuba will be no evil for Spain,
but gain, for it will stop a dreadful
drain of life and treasure. When there
is no colonial market to think of, the
immense resources of the country itself
will probably be better worked The
mere mineral wealth of Spain ought to be
enough to make it rich. If it has begun
to understand the consequences of bad
administration, it may we'll be one of
the most prosperous parts Of Europe in
another generation.-David Hannay in
