with unwrinkled smoothness.
 The skirt was lined with delicate shade of yellow satin and fell in graceful folds about the figure.
 The gown was a Princess with an ab- breviated train. The bodice was decollette cut in the shape of V. Around the neck was trimming of accordion plated chiffon which was continued upon the skirt in overskirt effect. The trimming was in white and russe green arranged in ruff1es. The green ruff1e was set above the white one, the latter affording a soft, fresh lin- ing for the former.
 Around the throat was narrow band of green velvet ribbon clasped at the back with diamond catch. The sleeves were tight and finished with ruffies of green and white. White kid gloves will be worn and a hand painted fan with pearl sticks appears at the Eeaster dinner.

It is something like the customary crepe, except that 1t is less open and the figures are of satin instead of silk. have seen 1t in nearly all of the new colors There was nothing unusual about the skirt except the way in which the trim ming was arranged It was close fitting over the hips with much flare around the feet, and a short train. The belt was of violet satin ribbon. and the ends instead of being allowed to hang free, were brought

 Another charming Princess gown was worn by young women evidently in sec- ond mourning. It was made of the new silk poplin striped in black. It fit the figure faultlessly. The lining was also Princess of white silk, which showed through the in- sertion which trimmed the bodice, and ex- tended half way down and around the skirt. The neck, too, was cut pointed and there was rather tailor-made collar.
 A NEW PRINCESS
 What seemed to mo the smartest gown of the five was a Princess of maize color India silk of heavy quality. The neck was cut square, and was finished with gold em- broidery, which was scalloped just like real trimming. The scalloped effect was repeat ed upon the side of the gown. This was extremely chic and original. The back of the bodice and sides were covered with tulle traced with gold threads and other lit- tie designs outlining circles of goodly size
 The sleeves fit the arms very tight. and had ruffies of the fancy tulle around the hands. Ruffies of this kind make the hands look smaller. the French think; and indeed 1t would seem so.
 Slippers invariably match the gown. in color if not in material and design. All should correspond, if possible, even to the very small accessories of dress. -

 Before he left us Pelham gave us de- lightful little dinner at a restaurant that you and know well on Sixth avenue. At dessert he handed the girls two keep sakes, in the shape of two rings which he said he had designed himself and had had made here; but the dark maiden had ruby in her ring and the fair a sapphire. He made them wear the rings on their forefingers
 "I needn't tell you that when our Gem went away we were all very dsconsolate But I was curious to know whether either of those two girls felt towards him other than a friend. All that could ever con- clude was that both were in love with him. for both of them refused good offers in succeeding years, and both are still old bachelor maids, with two superbly jeweled rings on their forehngers. And mind. these things happened more than ten years ago.
 But about that prediction of mine that failed. I quite expected to hear of Pelham in years to come as one of the foremost artists of the world. It was not merely

Paris, March 12.-All Paris is getting ready for Easter. Eeaster is a greater event upon the Seine than 1t is upon Fifth avenue In my own country people wear Easter gowns-if they get them-but in Paris everybody has an Easter dress.
 Nor is this confined to tailor made walk ing suits alone. A new dinner dress for Easter is as much a necessity as street gown.
 This year the popular Easter entertain ment will be the dinner dance, which is a delightful function here. The dinner dance, as known in Paris, consists of very elaborate dinner of ten courses, to which the beverages and few young people are invited. After dinner, which is served at 8 o'clock, the young people arrive, coming about midnight. There Is @ short dance. then comes supper, followed by the cotillon, which lasts until almost daylight That Is the genuine dinner dance.
 It is a charming thing to see some of the dresses that are now being built for these Easter functions. They are so delightful both in material and cuti So absolutely novel; and so distinguished from last sea- sons modes are they that they catch the eye at once.
 NEW STYLES.
 Fashions have so changed since last year that the styles of a season ago seem ab- solutely Gothic compared to this years fashions. They are different in the cut of the skirt. the shape of the waist and ab- feet. and a short train. The belt was or

And presently he got up and took knitting needle, deftly stuck it through the hands Of the figure and stood back to look at 1t.
 Tt was very good little study in the round of boy just planting his pole for a nigh pole leap. It was not finished thing, mind you, but all the muscles seemed to be exactly as they would be in life, the folds of the tunic suggested movement, and the whole thing did admirably as a model for the subject.
 Pelham was the first to speak. There, now, Gus he said, cant you draw your boy from that?'
 MT. Pelham,' said one of the two girls, you are the first live genius ever saw
 believe you must be an incarnation of the soul of Michael Angelo said the

 well. that was not the last exhibition of his wonderful talent which that young man gave us. He sat down one day when Gus had brought his color box, broke the lid of an old cardboard millinery box and made a perfectly beautiful group of the faces of the two sisters, as they sat to- gether. one sketching in charcoal, the other watching and giving criticisms.
 You might think there was some mys- tery about this remarkable youth, but I can assure you he had made none himself He told us that he had been born with a good fat silver spoon In his mouth,' twenty five years before, that his parents were dead that he had neither brothers nor sisters had been educated in England and Germany and had just come to the end of four years of travelling.
 "I wanted to get some sense Into my head he said, before I finally made up my mind to study art. I spent a good deal of time in India, and now my mind Is about made up. I hope to take my first lesson in drawing in Paris this fall.' That last was the most astounding

that he had the gift of dexterity of execu- tion, but when talked to him about art, as often did, 1t seemed to me that art was all the world to him.
 .'And so I waited and waited. often ask ing people who I knew had recently been in the Latin Quarter if they had heard or seen, anything of this genius of ours. Some knew of him and his genius, but l never could hear of him having exhibited anything.

A Zinc Town

From tho Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Every house and household utensil thaf can be is made of zinc in the town oE Bareira, situated on the coast of Portu- guese, East Africa. Even when a man falls down through the heat in the streets he IS carried to the nearest hospital on zino stretcher, and the hospital itself, and the beds and everything else within 1t, are made of the same metal-zinc.
 Again. when anyone dies, he is put Into a zinc soffin, which rests on zinc settees,, and it is placed on e zinc carriage and carried to a zinc church, and then buried in a zine lined grave, if the deceased can afford the latter luxury.
 The reason is that zinc Is the cheapest material that will withstand the humid cli- mate for any time.

can be held against native and foreigner
alike; but how are they to be governed =?
There is, of course, the initial difficulty
whether they can be organized otherwise

BRINGING HOME THE DEAD.
Bodies Buried in Porto Rico Disinter
red and Put on the ROumania.

The funeral ship Roumania, which is en-
gagged in the sacred mission of bringing
home the remains of the brave soldier boys
who lost their lives in Porto Rico and
Cuba. has completed its work so far as
the Island of Porto Rico is concerned. The
number of American dead on that island
was comparatively small, and their disin-
terment and removal to the transport oc
cupied only about Il weeks time. A tele-
gram received by Colonel Moore of the
quartermaster generals office says that the
ROumania left Ponce Thursday for Santi-
ago, where the principal work of the expe-
dition will be done.
AS has been already stated. the remains
of all the soldiers which are not claimed for
private intermerft, will be brought to Wash
ington for interment in the national ceme-
terry at Arlington.
