DRESSING WELL
ON SIS A MONTH.
There Are Society Women Who Do i on
That Sum. and Some Very Smart
Women Who Dress on Less
BY Helen Ward.

1nHE woman of average means, with
SIS a month 10 spend on clothes,
often considers herself badly used.
She is confident that had she lit
tie more Il would be possible TO make a
fairly smart appearance.
But II she Is a sensible woman, careful
planning and a strict eye to the shops are
all that need supplement the annual ex-
penditure of $500.
To be well-dressed, every woman needs
two tailor suits a year. one each spring
and fall. These are not necessarily made
by tailor. The shops display as good
readv-made gowns Mt lower prices Fitted
by tho expert dressmakers In these es-
Establishments, they are not easily distin-
guished from the more expensive gar
ments. Very good ready made gowns can
be purchased for $40.
A silk dress with plain trimmings can
be had for $40. This is for materials only.
Hats will he an expensive item, and
II Is best to have them so. \ cheap hat
detracts UNNECESSARILY from swell cos
tune.
Summer lingerie and nightgowns
should be made by the woman herself
Materials cost almost nothing and wear
better than those used In readV-made
goods.
For summer dresses cheap materials
answer Just as well as more expensive.
These, dresses seldom outlast one season.
and quite as good effect can be obtained
from simple organizes and lawns. Quite
often II Is possible for the woman TO
make these dresses herself

clothing necessary for a years wear. as

From the shoulder 90 the elbow II Is the

I'VE have some not altogether pleas

one of the custodans. Some of them
have been around here day in and day
out for year in spite of our rattans.
We have to use judgment In picking out
the loafers, for a man may be poorly
dressed and still come here on proper
business. Some Of our worst customers
are young men whose parents have sent
them in search of work. They are not
OF literary turn OF mind, and won't go
TO the public libraries. They don't want
work and so they come here TO while
away the hours
IT is no uncommon thing TO see gray
| haired father or, mother clandestiney
| meet hayward son and with tear
stained eyes plead with him. This Is the
| time that the custodians of the place
| carry their rattans TO some other section
| OF the building. Wives who have been
| separated from the husbands have recon-
cilcd them here. Toddlcrs whom the Ill
yorCc courts have given TO this or that
! parent have come down to the big build
| ing with guardian TO see for n brief
period the ones whose claims the courts
| have taken away.
Many a business deal has been decided
| In the corridors, and many waif has
come out of the cold and the wet to bc
warmed by the cheering steam heat
| There is one old custodian who, though
he didn't tell the story himself, has rec
oncied more estranged hearts In that

say his rattan is the worst of them ali!
| They do so many things in the immense
| corridors that ii would be impossible &c

study life as II really exists ought to &c
there It's well worth the trouble.

GENERALS WHO WERE BOXERS.
Former Days When Miles aud Wes-
ton Handled the Gloves.

The New York Herald is authority
for the story that General Miles and
General Weston have always prided
themselves upon their athletic accom-
plishments. Though both had seen
hard service in the civil war and one
OF them had been wounded more than
once in the Wilderness and the other
had been through several arduous In
dian campaigns on the frontier, they
were at the time Of the fight, which
is historic in the annals of the army,
active and quick, in fact, fit" for the
work cut out for them. Both were
known as the crack boxers of the
army. Which was the better of the
two was the question.
One bright, frosty morning, after
a deal of palavering at the officers
club, General Miles and Captain Wes-
ton, accompanied by six bottleholders,
their seconds, two timekeepers, Off
GERS and the chaplain, who volun-
teered to act as referee, wended
their way to barranca, mile or two
from the post, and stripped for ac-
ton. No enlisted man was permitted
to be present. 1t was remarked by
several of the onlookers that "Nclson
was trained bit too fine" but John
stripped beautifully" After the chap
lain had instructed the principals in
the center of the ring they were
gloyed and ordered to their corners.
AS there was no gong, it was agreed
that the referee should clap his hands
and cry "Quit!" at the end Of every
three minutes, then the principals
were to retire each 20 his corner for
refreshment and rest.
Gentlemen, let her CO." said the
referee; but gently, gentlemen. DO
not, beg of you, excite yourselves.
BE calm, gentlemen"
The round ended, the chaplain
clapped his hands and shouted
"Quit!" and the principals retired
each to his corner. Again the princi-
pals advanced to the center of the
ring, and after rare exhibition of
sparring Miles made a tremendous eff
fort and upper cut, but the blow
missed Weston, who wheeled around
to deliver pivot blow, which Miles
that Weston kept spinning like top
until the chaplain again clapped his
lands and shouted Quit" Weston
went to his corner groggy.
After five more rounds the chaplain,
after long consideration and much ar
gument with the witnesses, solemnly
announced that it was draw and de-
clared all bets off. This was satisfac-
tory, but it was found that the prin-
2ipals were completely exhausted by
their efforts; so much so, indeed, that
ii was necessary to send to the post
for the water wagon to convey them
TO the hospital, where they remained
under the surgeons treatment for
three weeks.

the governor of Pennsylvania. Sena.

fled by the majority when il is ready
to put in its report. Senator Burrows,
the only republican of the committee
who voted against the resolution, Will
prepare the report of the majority,
lioar that of the minority.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections today began investiga-
ton of the charges of bribery in con-
nection with TIE election of Senator
Clark Of Montana. Clark himself was
present with his counsel, former SEN
ator Faulkner. Ex-senator Edmunds
appeared as leading counsel for the
:omplainants, making the first state
ment in support Of the memorial pre-
scnted against Clark. He said the com
claimants expected TO be able to SHOW
that Clark's election was obtained by
the liberal use of money and that
large sums to this end were furnished
by Clark. He believed the eNpendi-
lures could be traced to Clark with
due effort on the. part of the com.
mittee.
Ex-senator Faulkner made the
formal statement in behalf of Clark.
He reviewed the politics of Montana,
referring TO the "Daly and Clark fac.
tions" in the democratic politics of the
state. 1t was, he said, an acknowl.
edged fact that the opponents of Clark
in the state had determined to pre-.
vent his political preferment regard.
less of all the proprietes. 1t would
lie shown, Notwithstanding the
charges of bribery against some fifty
persons, including thirty-eight mem.
bers of the legislature, that there had
been no proceedings against any of
the men thus involved in any Of the
Montana courts. This was evidence
that the present proceedings were not
sustained by public sentiment. Faulll.
ner said the prosecution was con
ceiVed in the womb of personal malice,
rocked in the cradle of personal hate
and nourished upon corruption and
jealousy"
Outlining the defense Faulkner said
it would show the proceedings against
Clark in reality originated in the SEN
atorial contest of 1898, when the idea
of springing a pretended exposure of
Clark upon the Legislature was con-
ceivcd by the Daily faction, and that
the leader of that faction had turned
prophet in December, 1896, declaring
that IF Clark showed his head some
thing would he heard to drop and that
he would drive him out of the state"
