across the front, in many cases, ap-
pear to fasten the skirt. Others, again,
have wide black velvet band from
the centre of high stock, secured in
front by buckle. The favorite way,
however, is to thread white lace with
narrow velvet and use the lace as
trimming. Entire gowns are made Of
this velvet, threaded with insertion,
sewed deftly together.
A beautiful toilet of ecru guipure
has two small capes covering the

These and the standing collar, also of

while black velvet bows continue the

The higher education of women is a
recent thing. 1t never had anything
that could be called start until the
present century was we'll advanced.
But though this movement begun late,
it has made phenomenal progress.
Women seemed determined to make
up for lost time in the matter of educa-
tion. 1t appears that the women are
being educated away from the men.
Within the memory of many persons
now living there was not college for
women, or a school for their higher
education, in this county or any
whore in the world. Now these
schools of this character are to be
found in every state aud territory, in
every city and in most of the towns of
considerable size, in the United
States. There are far more girls
than boys in attendance upon schools
for higher education in this country.
1t will be interesting to see what the
relative proportion OF the two will be
when it is ascertained by the next
census, but it will certainly show the
girls to be far in the lead.

George Dewey may have begun to
be hero late in life, as he says, but
he is real hero, because he is so
human, observes the New York Sun.
We know from his manner of speech,
his sympathies, his liberation, his
brave natural carriage and the bold
but gentle light of his eyes that he
must have been the same Dewey
all his life that he is today. The man
was always ready for the opportunity
to be great, but it did not come to him
until the first of May, 1898. 1t has
probably puzzled him to find that he
has grown so famous, and that in the
estimation of the world he is to take
his place among its great men for all
time-puzzled him because he is so
modest and so incapable of being
anything but the plain, unaffected
character whose worth his friends,
aud whose great qualities his brother
officers, have known all along.

The old.fashioned toy house that
told us it was going TO be fair because
the woman came out of the house,
and that it was going to be stormy
because the man stood to the front,
gave us the natural idea of the wife's
aud the husbands place. In matters
fair and gentle and domestic the wife
is properly the head; in stormy, stern,
and especially in out-of-doors affairs,
the husband is the best head of the
house, or his wife is unfortunate.

An item of interest is reported in
the Woman's Tribune from the little
Nebraska town of Culbertson. There
tho women living in the town have
furnished waiting room with easy
chairs and toilet conveniences for the
comfort OF women coming in from the
country. Nothing could be more
sisterly and humanitarian" says the
Tribune. women usually come in
the farm wagons to the town to do
their shopping and have to hang
around the stores waiting for the men
to have finished their business which
ususally includes settling the political
affairs of the nation"

Full weary OF the man who keeps
That which is not his own.

Repaid were sure to be;
But here the maxim well applies,
"Io borrow not, nor lend;"
For oft when we the latter do
We lose both cash and "friend."

The longer that they live;

There is always something interest
ing in the discovery, or even the sup
posed discovery, of new malady.
The race rejoices in nothing so much
as in talking about its physical disa-
bilities: We have n long succession
of troubles in connection with the
bicycle. 1t is only natural that the
new rival OF the wheel should keep
in the swim and produce its own
peculiar troubles. A piece of dialogue
in the Automobile Magazine shows
that the expected has happened. A

they walked home after the rapidly

Three of the Seasons Triumphs.


On many models lace motives are
mingled and form part of the appliqued
garniture. The arrangement requires
taste, but when properly treated the
effect is absolutely charming. To look
its best tho shade chosen for this style
of trimming must not correspond ex-
actly with that of the dress, but in
preference be shade or two lighter
when the lace which accompanies it is
white. and darker in the case of black
lace being chosen. One of the most
striking costumes of the season is
shown in the large engraving. 1t is a
piece-dyed robe with scarf draperies
of fancy material, and is from the Dry
Goods Economist. The costume on
the left of the large engraving repre-
sents a tailor made princess robe OF
Dresden blue satin de laine, trimmed
with scroll design iu steel beads. A
similar adornment conceals the back
seam on the skirt and corsage.
The central figure shows q
rich silk visiting dress of ''roseau"
green, with side panels of handsome
cream colored renaissance lace, framed
on either side by three folds of dark
green velvet. The bodice, which
bulges slightly in front, but without
fullness, has bretelles and epaulettes
of the same lace, which terminate at
the shoulder seam. Cuffs of the same

Again, everything except dress
coat, the eccentricities and preroga-

pocket, for instance, when it is nobly
planned, has right-hand slip in its
skirts that opens into capacious silk

pocket is its descriptive title given by

for travelling the virtues of that upper
pocket can be tested and appreciated.
