Of them originated by The Paris dress
makers, but they were not for Paris
women. Subdued tones and clinging
draperies, which are popular with the
American women, do not at all suit the
French women, whose piquant style re-
quires toilettes of the dashing order,
both as regards cut and color. In ma
Ripulating the latter almost every
Parisienne is herself an artist, depend
ing rot at all upon the heinspirations ofthe
conturiere. Even the workgirls who
troop out hatless and happy into the
Rue de la PaiX at the luncheon hour
know exactly what color and how much
Of it is becoming to their particular
style of beauty. They are gowned in
black, as n rule, and the color takes
the form Of cunningly twisted neck
tie. A ribbon twisted twice round the
neck and forming sailors knot in
."ont is the most popular form OF neck
tie adornment. Sometimes consul"
collar of fine batiste is placed on the
ribbon, when the effect Is even more
dainty.
But of our shopping expedition. We
started early the next morning and
shopped all day, just as women will,
without buying much of anything. In
fact, my new friend was rather disap-
pointed when left her at her hotel in
the evening, and declared that Paris
stores, even such as the Bon Marche,
the Magaque du Louvre, the Printemps
or the 1rols Quarters, could not in any
way compare with the great shops TO be
found in any of the large cities of the
states, and I, as an American. heartily
agreed with her.
II was handkerchiefs that she wanted
arst, and expressed a preference for
some with real lace, but they could not

MISHAp TO JULIET.
Scene Setter Nearly Cause Dis
aster In New York Thentcr.

Though Juliette is an impulsive girl
and is almost ready to leap into Romeo's
arms from the balcony as she listens to
his words, she is never so impulsive
that she is ready to carry the balcony
railing with her. But by the careless
ness of the scene setter that is whnt
came nearly happening at u matinee the
other day in the Metropolitan at New
York city during the balcony scene of
"Romeo ct JHliette." Everything was
going delightfully."-. Nine. Eames had
never looked lovilier Juliette, NJ. de
Reszke had never been more manly
Romeo.
Juliette leaned over and impulsively
made a movement as though to come
nearer to him, when the balcony rail
gave way and the daughter of the Capu-
lets and part of her ancestral hall were
nearly precipitated into the arms of the
waiting Romeo
NJ. de Reszke, however, was equal to
the occasion. In highly practical man
ner he ceased his love-making, grabbed
the balcony and forced 1t back into
place, saving Nine. Eames from a fall
to the stage. 1t was all over in mo-
mcnt, and as Juliette drew back with
a start and exclamation she and Romeo
resumed the score and the scene went
on to its close.

be found. But there were oJners qmte
as pretty as any lace ones could have
been, and much more serviceable. One
of those which we saw was of bntiste,
heinstitched, and had three or four
clover leaves, about natural size, and
embroidered in natural colors, scat
tered over it quite carelessly. Another
was pale pink, with delicate vine In
pale green and deep pink and white
spray-like flowers wandering across
it. Another had n blood-red border
about one-eighth of an inch wide and
a red shield embroidered in one cor
ner, while around the shield was fine
white vine. Still another, which the
salesman assured us was quite the
chicest thing in the store and was very
expensive, had tiny wild roses, without
stems, scattered over 1t. The little
roses were of delicate shade of pink,
and the handkerchief was hemstitched,
very narrow nnl edTrd with drawn

work. The salesman said 1t was quite
the same thing In the states several
months before, and do not doubt that
she was right, for Paris is not above
copying anything that is beautiful and
then claiming it as original.
In gloves we found all lengths for
evening wear, as the length of the
sleeve regulates the length of the glove.
Some of them ran as high as "a to 30
buttons. The proper colors are white,
pearl and light yellow, with self-colored
stitching.
In evening hosiery we saw pro-
nounced plaids and Roman colors in
silk, or open stripes in combination
with plain silk stripes showing fancy
black stitching, and in the finer grades
there is real lace insertion, in some of
which the whole instep is composed of
duchess lace ending in point at the
ankle.
In wells the newest thing is thick
Chantilly lace, with huge, heavy, close
ly-strewn patterns, through which the
ledl luTcS Gun sCuICCIJ ne SecH' hCSt,
the salesman explained, were intended
to be worn with the hair dressed in our
grandmothers' style, Puffed over the
temples, and held up just behind the
ears with side combs from which two
or three ringlets drop.
What woman could go through a
Paris store without looking at the
gowns and wraps? We couldn't.
Among the pretty things in this line
was an opera cloak of black cloth,
trimmed with white lace and bands of
ermine.
When parted from my friend at her
hoIel in the evening she gave me little

1t is remarkable how easily one can
distinguish an American woman on the
streets of Paris. Not by her face or
her actions SO much, although both are
characteristic enough, but by her dress.
| do not wish you to understand that
the American women are not as stylish
as her French sisters. But the esthetic
style of her dress, so common in both
America and England, will never take

BELIEVES IN A BIGGER ARMY.
Sweden Thinks That in Peaceful
Times 1t SHOULD Prepare
for War.

The parliament of Sweden has just
opened. The speech from the throne
was read by the minister of foreign af-
fairs, Count Douglas, who pointed out
that whatever might be the result of
the cars peace conference, he fact
that it had been summoned did not i'm
ply that the country could afford to
neglect the necessary measures for its
defense. Sweden, he continued, must
continually strengthen its defenses,
which were altoge her too weak, though
both her army and navy were organ
lied with the view of defense alone, and
no ore could suspect her OF aggressive
schemes.
King Oscar, at the conclusion Of the
reading Of the speech, expressed the
hope that parliament would provide for
experimental mobilization.

Mr.. Monaghan had business among
his customers in the country, and went
away for a week. When he'returned he
found the building covered with an "at-

that all the neighboring firms were
giggling about it, the street was
jammed with the teams of draymen
who stopped TO laugh over it, and some

that in July, 1898, while between Green

that Andrce has perished in his search

State Documents Not Required to be
Stamped-Opinion of Attorney Gen

Many of the clerks of the Superior
court are affixing the internal revenue
stamps to documents which the Attor-
ney General says is not necessary. Ii
has been a loss of many dollars to the
State Yesterday Attorney General
Walser rendered the following opinion
on the subject:
ut is not necessary for you to place
a documentary internal revenue stamp
on the report of criminal statistics made
by you to this office The State has
the right to conduct its own business
through its own agencies without inter
ference, directly or indirectly, from the
National Government. A State is but
n corporation and cannot act except
through its own agencies. The Federal
Government cannot require revenue
stamps to be placed on the official bonds
of State or county municipalities, though
| notice the Commission of Internal
Revenue has made different ruling.
The power to tax involves the power TO
destroy. McCulloch VS.. Maryland, 4

to tax the agencies of the Federal Gov

ment the right to tax the agencies Of
