seams are past" said the dressmaker
For the winter season, at least, the
woman who can afford it wants her
gown made with as much finish to
the inside as there is to the outside.
1t does not matter one bit what the
gown is made of, whether 1t is plain
cloth or silks, or whether 1t Is for
street gown or wedding gown or
house gown, the demand for the same
fneness of finish is equally great.
Wedding gowns, for instance, made
with this unusual degree of finish show
a much greater degree of smoothness
in the outline, and the elaboration of
the work gives the gown more re-
fined effect than we have ever attained
before.
Among the gowns that we are MAX
ing in this way just now are those
of plaids with fancy silks in contrast,
plain and plaid cloths, embroidered
cashmere robes, incise broadcloths, en-
broidered satins and satin corded vel
vets. These show the range of ma
terials in which this new effect of elab-
crate finish is being displayed"
1t is this fineness in finish that we
are importing from Paris at the pres
emit time, and it is certainly not un-
patriotic to thus profit by the ability of
the French for the benefit and adorn-
ment of our own fair sex.
But of the gowns in which this elab-
crate finish is being shown, as the
dressmaker quoted above says, it is
not alone street gowns in which this
is seen. but it is of street gowns that
| am going to write.
One of these that I saw but recent
ly was made of primrose cloth. 1t was
made with one of the latest Of the new
skirts with folded plaits all around
and the slight fullness only being al
lowed to open out below the knees,
this giving an unusual fullness about
the feet. The slightly full bodice that
was revealed under the smart bolero
was of white mirror velvet with black
silk polka dot in. A wide crushed
belt of black velvet encircled the waist.
The smart bolero had a high pointed

AMERICAN TIMBER.

One and one-quarter million square
miles is the estimate of the timber area
of Canada, as given by the United States
consul general at Montreal.
One of the most valuable timber
trees in the great northwest, the red
cedar, grows to maximum height OF
! 500 feet and diameter of IA feet.
Some historical trees have lately come
into the New York lumber market from
the Wilderness battlefield of the civil
war. The bills of lading showed tina,
the trees had been felled and the lum-
Der sawed there. In some of the planks
the mimic balls can be seen plainly, the
wood directly adjacent to the bullets
being discolored or rotten, but not
enough to damage the lumber.
The portion of the state of Washing
ton west of the summit, of the Cascade
range is coyered with tsc4aeaviest con,
tinuous belt of forest growth in the
Omitted States. This forest extends
over the slopes of the Cascade and Coast
ranges, and occupies the entire drift
plain surrounding the waters of Puget
sound. Excepting the highest noun
tain peaks and the sand dunes of the
coast. which are treeless, the valleys of
the Cowlitz and Chehalis rivers, which
are dotted with small oaks and other
deciduous trees, and the stunted yellow
pines occupying with open growth the
barren Steilacoom plain, all of western
Washington is covered with magnifl-
cent forest.

the BARRE EVENING TELEGRAM
BARRE, W., NOVEMBER II, 1899.

Doolev, the great American humor-
ist in IIarper's Weekly, tells his friend
Hennessy about the troubles of Con-
gresham elect Roberts Of Utah, with
his wives getting into congress. He
tells him that a Norman is a man that
has the bad taste and the religion
that permits him to do what good
many other men are restrained from
doing by conscientious scruples and
the police That The constitution of
this country says no man Shall more
than one wife at a time, that anyone
knows of. This is one of the best ar
ticles Dooley has yet produced.

collar in the back and two strappings
of the primrose-colored cloth that
came over the shoulders and down the
front to the bust line in deep point
The strappings and the bolero were
stitched with black silk, this making
very pretty contrast. 1t had tight
sleeve finished in bell shape at the
wrist.
A second smart gown was of fawn
broadcloth. The skirt of this gown
had clinging upper portion, but
verv wide sweep as it neared the bot
tom. 1t was made with five separate
,lounce effects that were cut on the
bias and put on plain with a raising
of the goods in welts that corded
effect. The lower portion of the skirt
was long and plain. 1t had a nobby
double-breasted bolero jacket with
three cordings of the fawn cloth in
clusters of three put around the jacket
and on the upper part of the sleeves.
1t was finished with collar and pointed
revers of chinchilla, and three large
chinchilla buttons at one side.
A gown that attracted my attention
was of gray silk-finished cloth with
pipings of black velvet and an ap-
piique of black and white velvet on
the jacket. This gown was made with
five-gore drop skirt. The front gore
was left perfectly plain, but on each
side and extending around the skirt
are six scalloped pipings of black vel
vet that were in clusters of three, then
space of eight inches. They are fin
ished at the side gore with black vel
vet buttons. The long, pointed, tight
fitting jacket had high collar of black
velvet with an applique of black and
white velvet. The wide-pointed revers
are appliqued in the same manner and
extend far across the front and on the
sleeves. Scalloped piping of the vel
vet finished the front of the jacket,
and around the deep points in front,
extending on the very short back. 1t
had a small sleeve that was finished
in deep bell shape of black velvet with
piping of white velvet falling long over
the hand. SARAH DAVIDSON.

When Peggy Goes to Market.
When Peggy takes her basket up
And Off to market goes,
I'm stupefied with wonder at
How very much she knows.
She makes her way between the stalls
And with judicial air
Decides that this Is $50 and so"
And that is pretty fair"
She knows If fish are fresh or not,
And wise as any owl,
She differentiates between
A chicken and fowl.
She thumbs the breastbone Of the one
And pulls the others legs;
She squints her pretty little eyes
To test the newlaid eggs.
The vegetables must be just right,
For with critics eye
She scans them, not inclined to pass
Their imperfections by.
She calls the market folks by name;
All, what a lot she knows,
When Peggy takes her basket up
And off to market goes!
When Peggy does the marketing,
My heart with pride she fills;
I go along, a useless thing,
Except to pay the bills.

otto society woman, and it was fash
ionable to be patriotic at that time,
demanded American models in prefer
ence to Paris models. Paris sympa-
thized too closely with Spain for our
American women to appreciate, and
while we might have taken up with
London modes, yet it is a recognized
fact that New York models are prefer
able to those of London from almost
every point of view.
But now the war with Spain is not
only over, but is almost forgotten
by the busy society woman, and it is
with an easy conscience that she
goes back to Paris styles. The fact is
she is to be congratulated for her good
taste in doing so rather than con-
demned for her lack of patriotism.
New York never manufactured any
thing nearly so lovely as the models
with the beautiful tailor-made finish
which Paris is showing for winter
wear.
We call it the tailor finish, and yet it
is not that exactly; it is a tailor fine
ness applied to an elaboration in dress
making that is very unusual, but de-
cidedly tasteful and neat. The cor
rect gowns for the winter season con-
tain so much of this remarkable, COM
pick, difficult and elaborate work that
they are almost beyond the ability of
the ordinary dressmaker. The dress
maker, be he woman or man, who
can manufacture successfully one of
these elaborate dresses of the winter
season must indeed be an artist. All

anything but the finest of tailor-made

But competent dressmakers are find

Was neither famed nor great,
Nor one who rushed to dare and do,
Prepared for any fate.
He never faced an enemy,
Nor trod the ira ckless wild,
He never plunged into the sea
To save a drowning child.
The bravest man ever knew
Smoked ten cigars day.
