yictoria,s servants.

Queen Victoria showed from the earliest part of her reign determina- tion to keep in her own hands the ap- pointment of those serving in her households, and she has always devot- ed attention to the selection of these persons. with the result that she has been exceedingly well served. In con- doIing with the late Dean Stanley on the death of his valet, the Queen said: q am one of those who think the loss of a faithful servant the loss of a friend, and one who can never be re- placed" The Queen would never per- init insolenee to any servant, and she has often rebuked her little great grandchildren for any childish want of civility to their attendants.

Ladies, Three pieoo Skirt.

Prominent among the seasons styles are the circular flouneed skirts, nearly every new gown showing one Of its many different varieties. The shaping here presented is extremely graceful and gives the half tablier effect that is very generally becoming. The skirt consists of narrow front gore between wide circular portions that join in een- ter back and are fitted smoothly over the hips by two darts at each side. The skirt may extend to the lower edge un- der the flounce or be cut off just below the line of perforations that indicate where the flounce is attached. The fullness at the back is arranged in backward turning plaits, but gathers may be substituted as many ladies pre- fer that style of adjustment. The plaeket is made in center back and a small dress calender or improEer may be worn underneath the fullness.
 The skirt is represented in grey blue whipcord trimmed with wide fancy black silk galoon, but for useful sep arate skirts in this style black serge, cheviot, broad cloth, homespun and camels' hair are chosen, mohair and silk braid furnishing suitable decora- ton. Poplin, bengaline, faille and diff ferent weaves of corded silk, plain and fancy taffeta, all develop charmingly by the mode with ruchings of Liberty silk

 This dressy waist of fancy figured green taffeta, is stylishly combined with cream co1ored satin and mousse 1ine-de-soie. The fronts roll back in pretty pointed lapels from the neck to waist-line, which are faced with the satin and edged with ruehing of nous seline. The full front of mousseline is arranged over satin in evenly spaced rows of tucked shirring at the top and

blouses prettily at the waist-line.
 The collar is of cream satin shaped with stylish points under the ears.
 The waist is supported by fitted lin- ings that close in center front, the full front closing under the left reyer.
 The comfortable two-seamed sleeves have stylish fullness arranged in gath CTS at the top and at the wrists points of the white satin stand out fashion ably.
 This waist may be part of a costume or made separately to wear with differ ent contrasting skirts.
 Combinations of material and color ing may be artistieally arranged and the waist can be made in silk, cotton or light woolen fabrics. Velvet made in this way with revers and front of satin, and decoration of point applique is especially handsome.
 To make the waist for a medium size will require two yards of forty-four- inch material.

AUsrR1A's POOR PAPERS.
Dailies in Any Small American City
Surpass Vicnna'ss


Surpass Vicnna's,
From Vienna letter: My business
in Vienna called me to one Of the
newspaper offices. 1t was the Office Of
one of the most influential s4ewspapers
in Vienna.
Vienna is a city of 100000. An
American newspaper in city of that
size would have occupied several floors
OF ii large building. y commodious
business office would have frontcd on
the street and the mechanical depart
lnent would have employed dozens of
compositors, stereo:ypers, photo-en-
graNcrs and prcssmen.
This Vienna newspaper plant was OF
about the size and pretension of an es.
Enlistment such as would be required
in issuing an evening paper in All
American city of $4,000. Even in Amer
lea i had become accustomed to find
ing important and influential newspa-
pcrs With small and shabby editorial
apartments, but any metropolitan
| newspaper in the United States could
not have done business with the scanty
mechanical appliances of the Vienna
establishment. Il / remember correctly
there We're but two small cylinder
presses. The paper itself, which l
| bought OH the street afterward, was a
four-paged affair, printed with blurry
ink and very badly put together from
a compositor's point of view. 1t hap
pencd that this particular newspaper
had been abusing the United States all
during the war with Spain. had read
some of its editorial opinions and they
had impressed me and made me indig-
nant, but after ] had seen the newspa-
per in it's lair l didn't feel SO badly
over the matter
The printers of Vienna do some ex-
cellcnt book and periodical work, but
the newspapers do not compare with
those of a big American city in any
one particular. The American newspa.
pers, the same as the German, with the
notable exception of one printed at
Frankfort. had been saying cruel and
sarcastic things about the United
