NOTES OF THE MODES.
sOae Of the Gowns and wraps That
Are Announssd fer the Spring
Season.

The frills and graduated flounces
added to The fur capes and cloaks of the
season do not in the least enhance their
rich appearance; on the contrary, the
arrangement suggests a compromiss
with fashion and look as if the addition
had been made to lengthen out the gan.
ment. Plated and crumpled-top fun
ruffies arching from shoulder to shout
der. give humpiness to the figure that
is most undesirable though unfortu-
nately fashionable; end those who de-
nounce distending steel springs and
canvas and buckram are made to groan
under the weight of massed skirt ruff
fles, frills, ruches, plaitings and draper
les, which produce a similar spreading
effect.
Among the tailors and modistes
angles seem to have been, wholly dis,
pensed with. Every jacket, coat, cape.
tunic, flounce-in short, every garment
that admits it, is rounded and sloped at
its edges. Indoor toilets and street
costumes are alike shaped on this prin-
ciple, and even some of the Jackets made
with short Elton fronts have ,arched
basques, of great length dipping at the
back. Sometimes the basque is cut in
one with the waist portion like an Eng
lish walking coat, cut away on the
fronts; again it is added, sloping gradu-
ally backward in polonaise style.
Stylish street gowns for next season
are made of handsome lightweight,
mooth-fnished costume cloth, with
simple. decorations of stitched straps
of the same material, tailor buttons and
fine silk cord. Very many of the skirts
ere cut in circular shape, f1aring con-
siderably at the foot. The plaits at the
back are closely underfolded, and the
skirt fastens there or else on the left
side of the front under concealing
straps. The basque bodice is very short,
very chic apd feminine in appearance,
and there is a choice between double
breasted, closely-buttoned model, one
open down the front and framed with
graceful revers, shape cut out in the
neck, with a fancy silk or other gimp
above, or an Elton. style with short back
and tabled fronts. Many of the French
jackets cut in double-breasted style
are merry much cut away on the fronts,
which on the upper part close diagonal
ly from the shoulder to below the waist.
In the list of wrap models for spring
appears a garment short and closely
fitted at the back with semiloose fronts
deeply tabled and short, open sleeves.
This model is almost a repetition of the
dolman. of past days; a most uncomfort-
able garment which pinioned the arms
closely to the sides, and suggeste moth
ing so much as fowls trussed for mar
ket. One could not raise a handloer-
chief or umbrella or adjust veil or
stray lock OF hair without the risk of O.
rending of strings or material. Look
ing over the fashion plates of times
past, we note the tied-back, over
trimmed and trained dress skirts al
most invariably associated with the
dolman- The new styles are made of
corded silk, armure, or satin royal;
lace, net paitings, chenille ruches and
fringes, braiding, or a glittering sur
face Of jet bead work forming the gar
nitures.-N. Y. Post.

TRUSTS AND PROPERTY.

Large Dank clearanCe6 are pointed
to as an evidence Of prosperity. 1t
ID true that condition of general
prosperity could not exist without
creating large bank clearance, but
general prosperity is not the only
thing that can create them.
A majority Of, the people know
regardless ut. what they may read in
the newspapers that they are not
prosperous.
According to Judge Ashman Of the
Philadel hia orphsns' court, few peo-
pie WHO die leave any property.
'@1n looking over the records, said
tho judge, Il was surpri led to find
that only small percentage of those
who die i'll Philadelphia have any
property to leave. With the popu-
lation Of this city fully 1,250.00O. and
tho annual death average for the
past ten years 22,7l8, only 1893 have
any property TO leave their heirs. Il
does not seem possible that only
fourteen and half per cent of those
who die in Philadelphia have any
property, and Of Hlis small percentage
large number OF the estates range
from $50 to $1,000. 1t is not that
Philadelp hians are not industrious
and saving that is the cause of this
discrepancy, but that the opportun-
tiles for making money now are not
what they we're years ago"
The New York correspondent or
the Chicago Record states that 2,55l,-
455 persons received assistance of re-
lief from the various charitable ASSOC
Citations Of New York state last year.
This includes only such ass Citations
as are organized under the 81 ate laws,
and are required to make reports OF
their transactions to the commits
sioner OF charities. 1t does not en-.
brace multitude Of religious organ
izatione, mission schools, the Kings
Daughters, the Epworth League,
Christin Endeavor, bands of hope,
aid societies. helping hands, and tho
many benevolent branches of the
Catholic church which ere always
offering succor to the poor and needy;
and, Ut course, the amount Of money,
food and clothing distributed by
private Individuals can not be taken
account OF.
Add the persons thus given charity
to the 255l, 455 persons relieved by
state organizations. and it will be
seen that a majority Of the inhnbit-
ants OF New York state must be paup.
ers.
But New York bank clearances
have greatly increased. Why?
Chiefly because hundreds Of mill.
ons OF dollars worth OF checks have
passed through the banks in the pro
cess OF organizing the hundreds of
new trusts that are to hencefortb
pic" the peoples pockets.
After all production and exchange
has been cornered by the usts
bank clearings will show smaller
percentage OF gain, and the majority
OF people will be IN ore acutely
aware that they arc not ENJOYING
prosperity.
