ENAMELED BUTTERFLIES.
Woman Who Has Collected Forty
Rare and Beautiful Specimens.

New York, Dee. PA bit of antique his
tory, touch of individuality the crisp
flavor of romance are becoming more and
more associated with the ornaments most
valued and worn by Fashionable women.
This prevailing sentiment is well illus
trated by a lady of fine taste who has
carried out an idea wholly her own. She
has always had a passion for butterflies,
and in her collection are many of the rar-
est and most beautifully colored speci-
mems known to science. Whenever she
finds one that especially suits her fancy,
or has attached TO it some pleasant asso-
citation, she sends it to an enameler in
London, a man reputed to be the finest
artist of his kind in Europe, and he makes
fac smile of the specimen. Their fan
tastic shape and brilliancy combine 10
make the butterflies excellent models for
this particular kind of workmanship. With
wonderful fidelity they are copied and
even the transparent quality of their
wings is effectively simulated. They are
finally mounted so that by pinching their
wings together the sharp gold claws be-
meath fasten tightly to whatever they are
placed upon. 1t would be equally feasible
to have them made into hair pins, brace
let bangles and clasps for wells
This particular woman, however VINO
has perhaps forty of these enameled beau
ties wears them in but one way, as shout
der clasps on her ball dresses. or placed
diagonally across the front to represent
a flight of the gauzy insects. She has
one complete set of yellow butterflies
and they are held in reserve to be worn
with soft, white gowns. The largest ones
are fastened on the right shoulder and
from there they decrease in size to the
waist line. Another flight includes every
color of the rainbow, and for them bodices
of a more somber hue are chosen as a
background. Wonderfully effective also
are two very large and quantity formed
sapphire blue ones that were worn as dec
orations for a yellow crepe gown.
Quite aside from the artistic effect and
originality of this decoration, the beauti-
ful creature themselves have been so mi
nutely and accurately copied In the en-
amel work that they are excellent studies
of the originals. In fact. the charming
woman TO whom they belong often signs
and vows that her admirers are all but
terfly lovers, and she is being continually
entrapped by the scientific world to tell
the peculiarities and species of those from
Australia and New Zealand

lion between the fashionably and unfash-
ionably dr. S sed man
Another straw that shows the way that
the mode for men blows, is in the lining of
evening coats and the length of the full
dress coats tail Black satin last season
was the proper material for dress ccats
lining, whether Tuxedo or not. This sea-
son a soft rather dull finished silk is the
choicest material Tor the purI ose and the
dancing and opera coat has tails of a
length that recall the fashions Of 1920.
The colored shirt mania shows no sign
of abatement, though men whose ward
robes are very carefully selected, assume
a tremendous penchant for black and
white. Their preference is for a white
linen garment showing a wide and narrow
line of black, and in the morning high
roll over white collar and a small batwing
tie of mixed coral and white silk.
"Other times, other manners is a free
translation of the French epgram, the
truth of which is clearly eXemplified by
the bearing of the men this winter on the
street especially. No longer is it appro-
pirate to assume what was known as the
Piccadilly strut; step taken with the
body bent far forward and stiffiy poised
the cane gripped in the middle and held as
firmly on the horizontal as an athletes
practice bar, while at every stride the
walker rose on his heels as if the back
of his boots were fitted with springs or
he had inadvertently stepped on a tack.
A slow, even, level step, an air of ele-
CANT leisure and woman's bow so re-
turned that she can see the full inside of
the crown of the silk hat DOTTED in her
honor. is a manner that the gentleman of
the time cultivates when he takes his
walks aboard on the fashionable avenue.
Good things in the way of toilet con-
veniences continue to come over from Eng
land. One of the latest is the umbrella
with a stick SO hinged that it can be fold
ed TO fit exactly into coat box. The 9TH
err is an extension leather dress suit case.
This capital contrivance of leather, though
actually no larger than the regular case,
holds double the number of garments. One
side of it is boxed, the other has a soft
folded leather bottom that can be pulled
out like the extension of a camera box
or strapped close and flat as a drum head
The lining is done in the heaviest dark
green linen with a series of slots and
straps along the floor of the boxed side
for holding fast the handles of toilet
brushes, a soap case, etc.

FOR BRYAN TO STUDY.
The Increasing Supply of Gold Makes
the SiIverite Arguments
Fall Flat

Mr.. Bryan will find hard nut to
crack in an article on "The Increasing
Supply of Gold" which George E. Rob-
erts, director of the mint, has written
for the Forum. Assuming the quaint.
tative theory of money to be true, as
the silverites argue, they are now fair
ly beaten by their own arguments.
When the horrible "crime of '73" was
consummated the gold output of the
world amounted to 500, 200, 900, and that
of silver, reckoning it at the ratio Of
sixteen to one, was only $s1 100000,
which gives total of $17s,O00,OOO. In
1896 the output of gold alone was $780,
$4,000, and the silver output increased
the total to $31s.5S7,s76. This is ex-
elusive of the metal that was consumed
in industry and the arts, and is the
record for the very year in which Mr..
Bryan was making his disastrous cam
paign.
The significance of the figures is all
the greater when we consider the
progressive increase in the annual pro-
duction of gold, which is indicated in
the following table:
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-03-25

We have thus under this wise ma
tional policy become the great creditor
nation of the earth, and commercial bal
ances must now be settled on this side
of the Atlantic, and our condition
changed from a borrower to a lender
of credits and money.
This remarkable success has, in a
large measure, been effected by the in
telligent, patriotic and persistent eff
forts of the Protective Tariff league, in
educating our people to the value of an
economic system by which country
pursues the policy of encouraging the
development of its natural resources,
and of giving employment to it's labor,
rather than letting its resources lie dor
mant and buying the products of for
eigners. AS members of the league
we may well feel content that our or
ganization has been the active agent in
accomplished such beneficent results
and that no change will be made in our
imposts or excise laws or our standard
of value during this administrator OF
the life of our next congress.
On motion of Mr.. Thropp, the address
of Col. Cannon was adopted as the
sentiment of the league, and ordered
published in the official report of the
proceedings.
