Nearly all of the English periodicals
publish reviews of the year, and most
of them refer to the sudden entrance of
the United States into European affairs
as the most important of the events of
the year. The fact is accepted as accom-
plished, though opinions vary widely
as to what the results may be. The
Spectator, which is not only the most
sagacious, but the best written of Eng
lish periodicals, takes comfortable
view of the probable results of our war
with Spain and lays special emphasis
on the closer and more friendly rela-
tions of England and the United States
which have grown out of it. The Satur
day Review takes occasion to remind
the world that if Great Britain had not
refused to join the European powers
the results of our war would have been
different. But even The Saturday Re-
view sees only a good portent in the
closer relations of the English speaking
peoples. 1t is noticeble that the possi-
bilities of an Anglo Saxon alliance have
been more frankly and carefully dis
.cussed and all the possibilities canvassed
by the English press than by the Amer
ican. The Spectator goes so far as to
say: "Might it not be possible that the
two branches of the English speaking
race would join together for interna-
tional purposes and face the world with
feet impossible to overcome? But if
the new alliance is to be safe the states
men ON both sides of the Atlantic must
act on the maxims both of philanthropy
and statecraft. Their watohwords must
be justice, mercy, moderation.

SPECIAL from Washington

A SPECIAL from Washington
says: The passage of the Nicara-
qua bill by the senate today is
merely a step in the legislation
looking to the construction of an
isthmian canal. The house to all
appearance is as far from. .an!agree-
ment as ever, anu nobody can pre-
dict final action during the preseut
session. The feeling is that the
isthmian canal is reserved for the
next congress, and that it is to be
fhe nations first great undertak-
ingsof the twentieth century. Now
chat the canal bill is out OF the
way in the senate it remains to be
seen what progress the treaty j. g
make.

Paris, December Lone can not grieve for the glories of summer that are passed away when one sees the glories of winter that finger. The delights of the skirt waist and the sailor hat are forgotten in the glories of the theatre bodice and the house waist.
 And we'll may they be forgotten for the colors and fabrics are so beautiful that one looks at them-liSe the lover in the old song-"and anguish steals into ones heart"
 Yet the sight need not necessarily be one of anguish. The materials are not so very expensive, and as for color, why, color is cheap!
 In buying bodice never, under any con- sderation, invest in cheap, bright fabrics. If economy be the keynote let the material be subdued; for by some law of color and material, darker shades look much richer than light ones. It is strange but true. A cheap pink never looks rich But cheap dark blue or a cheap brown or dark in expensive gray are always in good taste.
 It Is a spangle season. Sequins, jets. steel and silver glisten on the bodices They shine like diamonds, and are exceedingly becoming in the night.
 With a dark gray satin skirt, trimmed with an applique of black lace, there was worn at a very fine reception, the other day, a bodice of Persian velvet with gray ground. Persian is sprinkled with so many and such brilliant colors, and you can scarce describe it to one who has not seen it. It is rather too much worn, and yet its variety is such that you do not tire of It.
 This Persian gray bodice with the gray ground was thickly sprinkled with inter- woven particles of blue, giving cold, slaty look to the material.
 It was trimmed with white satin lapels trimmed with silver sequins, the lapels be- ing continued below the waist. It had a very snug white satin vest with the tiniest vest of white chiffon set in. The collar was

gown. Black skirts are worn scarcely at all with brilliant waists as the sharp con- trast is not pretty
 A word may be said about the diagrams which accompany these pictures. They are accurately drawn, though they are too small to be used directly as pattern. They af- ford, however, an excellent guide. Take a piece of brown paper cut it the shape of the tiny diagram, and apply it to the top of your sleeve, until you have a sleeve cap which fits your arm. Better still ex- pertinent with calico which is more pliable than paper and takes a more becoming shape.
 So with the yoke front. If you have a throw-away' waist you can experiment up on it until you have a yoke front which fits you. The collar is still more easily managed, but remember always to experi- ment with a pattern before cutting into your goods.
 The modiste who kindly consented to map out these diagrams prepares them for suggestions and mails them to the leading dressmakers of all countries where they are taken and put into shape by skilled design CTS. Thus the Paris fashions originate, and are spread across the world
 If you will compare the bodices of last winter with those of this season you will find they were much plainer. They were made of only one material and the plain richness of the fabric was allowed to show itself in the plain rich folds of the bodice. This year it Is different. Simplicity is thrown to the winds and you see so many

THE HEALTH HABIT.
Just as Easy to Form as Any Other.

We do not deliberately form our pet habits, but they are unconsciously ac- quired and grow as We grow, and by the time we learn they are hurting us, we find tllem too strong to be easily broken.
 Then, why not form a good habit, a habit which will counteract the many bad ones; in other words, contract the unfasll- icnable habit of always being well?
 The best health habit to get into is to have and keep vigorous stomach; if you have healthy digestion you can drink your beloved coffee, smoke your favorite brand oi tobacco, with little or no harm the mis- chief begins when these things are forced upon the faithful stomach, without any assistance.
 Form the habit of taking after meals some harmless but efficient digestive which win relieve the stomach of So much extra work.
 Nature furnishes us with such digestlves and when they are combined in such a pleasant preparation as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, they give the overworked stom- ach just the necessary assistance to se- cure perfect digestion without any of the harmful effects of cauhartcs and similar drugs.
 The habit of taking Stuarts Dyspepsia T2blets after meals is as necessary to the weak stomach as food itself, and indeed to get the benefit from food eaten, nothing better and certainly nothing safer can be used. r
 Many families consider Stuarts Tablets as essential in the house as knives and forks. ate
 They consist entirely of natural digestive principles without the effect or characteris- tics of drugs; they have no cathartic ac- ton, but simply go to work on the food eaten and digest it.
 Take into account your bad habits and tle expense they entail and then invest fifty cents in box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and see if your digestion for the next month is not vastly improved.
 Ask the clerk in any drug store the name of the most successful and popular stom- aeh remedy and he will say "Stuart's."

several parts of two materials, these being pastel blue taffeta and Renaissance lace. The collar, yoke and sleeve caps are of the taffeta beautifully stitched with silk of the same shade The tiniest square of Renais- sance lace is set in the neck.
 An eccentric vest of Renaissance lace was set in front of the bodice. Instead of extending from the neck to the belt, lilnc the regulation vest it extends across the bodice like a broad band, reaching from armhole to armhole. Below the vest the bodice is finished with the stitched taffeta.
 The beauty of this waist must be seen to be fully appreciated It is the most ele- gant of all the new designs, and has the added advantage of being suitable for slim or stout person, alike.
 Skirts while Separate" partake of the tone of the bodice. You see the tiny pin striped taffetas worn with the pastel blue bodices. The same color note pervades the
The age-herald., 1899-12-17

of white chiffon folded flat in alternate rows of satin and chiffon
 As the shape of the cuff was rather odd. and as the collar and revers were quite novel, your correspondent obtained pat tern from a Paris modis.e for the benefit of the women readers of The Age-Herald.
 The cuff was cut from a single piece of the goods, carefully folded before being cut, and made up in such a way that the seam come at the outside. The inner part of the cuff was lined with pale blue satin, and the edges were bordered with the mar rowest band of black satin ribbon.
 The hat was entirely novel. It was in the form of a small toque of white satin and chiffon, trimmed at the front with two immense pompons, one of silk and the oth- CT of chiffon.
 The exceeding prettiness of this very nice afternoon calling gown was such as to ex- cuse its cost which was considerable As calling gown it could be worn, or as a reception dress. It might also figure a model design for the bride at a church wedding.
 So great is the vogue for the bodice, separate yet to match, that brides who do not get married in white satin, are wear ing these separate bodices and skirts when the nuptial knot is tied.
 Those who, in their blindness, supposed that the end of all novelties in waists had come, have a surprise in store for them in the La Loie bodice which can be worn as a separate waist or can match the skirt.
 Fancy a leaf green figure taffeta em- broidered with a black vine which takes 1t way over the material in the old fashion, ed style, familiar to our grandparents Per haps in an old silken quilt you may have a ''block" of green taffeta embroidered with a vine in this self same way.
 This bodice is open in front to reveal a broad vest. It has lapels that turn smart ly back and it is trimmed around the sleeves and bust with bands of black velvet ribbon.
 The vest, yoke and lapels are of white Liberty silk covered with Brussels lace.
The age-herald., 1899-12-17

For a belt there is smart ribbon and bow of green taffeta.
 This bodice is put on in three pieces. The bodice and vest are separate and the yoke goes on over all.
 Of new skirts there Is likewise no end. One has strange cut down the front by which the opening zigzags in Greeian style, each point being secured with an enameled button.
 The modiste kindly consented to allow her designer to draw the hardest parts of this bodice, namely the yoke and the front of the blouse NOW" said she "any skill ed dressmaker, and many an unskilled one, can follow these designs and cut out yoke like this. The blouse is very simple, as any modiste will tell you.''
 At Christmas house party to be given by the Countess de Castelane at her coun- try place, there will be many beautiful costumes. A fashionable couturierc has been building bodice of the most beau tiful pastel blue taffeta. It is a bodice in
The age-herald., 1899-12-17

and diverse styles that you pause bewl- dered before them all.
 Blue is perhaps the color of the minute. Not necessarily the cold pearl blue, but the warmer sunset blue which is quite yellow ish, and the mirror blue which shows a great many colors.
 Sapphire blue is also the rage, and it's trimming is steel. Blue and steel in com bina'tion give a silver effect. Jet paillettes glisten on half the gowns and silver and steel as well.
