Fashion NOTES.
Gay Waists tn Demand.

Among fashionables Lent hasn't
seemed this year to have influenced
dress matters much. Probably this is
because they have been dressing in soft
colore, Gray has been great favorite,
black has been much worn, 500 there
seemed no especial change necessary.
Certainly there Is current at the stores
great demand for fancy waists of all
degrees of elaboration, and that because
so many afternoon affairs are occurring
in Lent. Society folk make q point of
cutting down evening engagements and
going to bed early, but these very Wo-
men go in tremendously for afternoons
of all kind. Lent is recognized, too, as
the season when younger sister does her
entertaining. The out sister is sup

1t is perhaps impossible to make a
will that cannot be plausibly attacked
il anybody wants to attack it and can
pay lawyers for attacking it, but it is
occasionally possible to make a will
that will stand attack. Such will was
made by Abigail Journeay of Richmond
county, New York, who made a will in
favor of her son-in-law. The will was
attacked on two grounds-mental in
competency of the testatrix, and undue
influence. Years ago, it appears, Mrs
Journeay executed a codicl in the pres
ence of three physicians, specialists in
mental diseases. They died. Then she
executed second codicil in the pres
ence Of two such specialists. 1t con-
tains an express declaration that she
was moved to do so by the death of
the witnesses to the earlier codicil The
acting surrogate admitted the will to
of appeals affirms the decree. The JUS
tees say the precaution taken was I'M
usual, but that it is as reasonable to
infer that the son-in-law anticipated an
unfounded impeachment of the sanity
of the testatrix as that he knew her to
be insane.
This will went through all right, but
the next SOn-in~laW who participates in
a performance of that kind will do well
to have himself examined for motives
at the same time he has his mother-in-
law examined as to her sanity.

folks who do not entertain formally

House dresses continue to show the
highest degree of elaborateness, though
simple affairs are still suitable. But the
point where change has come is in the
permission to have the house rig as
highly wrought as is the evening gown.
OF course the characteristics are differ

shown in some of the new house dresses
is quite as artistic as anything that APP

The Ridiculous Optimist.

There was once man who smiled
Because the day was bright,
Because he slept at night,
Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon his child.
Because his little one
Could leap and laugh and run,
Because the distant sun
Smiled on the earth, he smiled
He smiled because the sky
Was high above his head,
Because the rose was red,
Because the past was dead!
He never wondered why
The Lord had blundered so
That all things have to go
The wrong way here below
The overarching sky.
He toiled and still was glad
Because the air was free
Because he loved and she
That claimed his love and he
Shared all the joys they had!
Because the grasses grew,
Because the sweet winds blew,
Because that he could hew
And hammer, he was glad
Because he lived he smiled
And did not look ahead
With bitterness or dread,
But nightly sought his bed
As calmly as a child;
And people called him mad
For being always glad
With such things as he had,
And shook their heads and smiled.

Attention is called by the Electrical
Review to the fact that in all the dis
cussion of a trans-Pacific cable little or
nothing has been said about cable ships.
These vessels are peculiar and expen-
sive, and though there are something
like thirty-five of them in existence, not
one of the thirty-five flies the American
flag, Ii, therefore the Pacific cable is
to be entirely Of American production,
we must have at least two cable ships,
costing about 100000 each, and they
cannot be built in day or a month.
The expense of plant for making
ocean cable the Electrical Review puts
at $1,000,o0O. 1t must be at the waters
edge in order that the cable may pass
direct from the machines into the YES
sells hold. The cable itself will cost
about $13,000000, and the total expendi-
ture before message is sent across the
broadcast of the seven seas is estimated
at s20,OOO,Oo0.
