across the chest or waist. This part
was filed in with heavy point de venise
lace. There were very wide pointed
revers on the vest which reached out
side nearly to the shoulders. They
were also covered with the lace. The
fur bands reached from the neck down
on both sides and around the whole
bottom. Then from point just in front
of the side seam were other bands
reaching to the bottom and losing
themselves under the outer ones. The
shape in the back is the newmarket.
The cravanette waterproofed new
markets are of light pastel shades and
tan and drab. The lower part is hem
med, and all inside seams are bound
with satin, and the waist and sleeves
are lined with satin. The shape and
finish are most elegant and stylish.
Furs Of any of the best kinds are ex-
tremely dear. but there are many imi-

Representative Crumpacker has been
striving valiantly ever since the be-

congressional representation of the
south based on the vote cast rather
than on the population. This smacks
very much of the late force bill. Mr..
Crumpacker is an honest man. but an
intensely fierce partisan. A great many
Republicans had all along doubted the
political efficacy of this measure. fear

a boomerang. That the conservative

In tracing the decline Of the use of
classical quotations in legislative bod
les the Boston Herald cites the case Of
Edward Everett. who once concluded
a stately speech In congress with
long. sonorous and superbly modulated
citation of a passage from Tacitus and
then took his seat. No sooner was he
through than up sprang a burly MEM
Der from what was then a frontier
state of the west. He had once been
an Indian agent. and no sooner was he
on his legs than be began to pour out
a vehement harangue in Choctaw.
After awhile the speaker called him to
order.

speech should be abridgedr' he cried.
''You let the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts run on. and / didn't under

The scene was described as very
comical. but it struck the deathknell

GRACEFUL GARMENTS.
The New Redingotes Inclose I'll

The New RedingOtes Inclose the
Figure In Long. Sweeping Curves.
The long garments partaking of the
redingote, newmarket and ulster are
among the most convenient. graceful
and stylish of this. seasons output.
The long capes and mantles have their
uses. So do the shorter garments in
different jacket shapes. but the others
certainly are the most often seen, and
they deserve it.
The general form is a princess back.
and the sides are also fitted, while the
fronts are open from about the bust
line down. Some, however, button un-
der flies and others again fasten with
horn or pearl buttons. But the best
style is either fly front or one where
all fastening is invisible.
A glance at the Illustration shows all
the salient points of this form of coat.
This one has ripple bordering of the
same material. which others do not al
ways have. The strap stitching is used
with good effect and SO is the applique
in lighter shade of the same stuff.
The whole outline of this is slightly
scalloped, the collar forming a short
cape on the shoulders.
The full muslin tie gives a touch of
elegance, and the pretty revers and
sleeves make this garment something
more than mere redingote or new
market. Some of them are tailor stitch
ed in manner that may well be called
art. Others have narrow rouleaux of
fur.
There are several special kinds of
cloth for these garments. The richest
is the heavy broadcloth In the light
pastel shades. The most valuable is
the cravanetted covert, and next to
broadcloth it is the handsomest. 1t is
proof against damp and rain. After
these is fine, closely woven. narrow
vale cheviot, and there are several
rough surfaced woolen stuffs. but they
are not so handsome or dressy as the
others. Some are in small, indistinct
checks, with a sort of overthrow of
fine hairs.
There are pelisses of velvet, of rich
silk and also of some of the finest
cloths. These are trimmed, it would
seem. with everything that comes to
the surface-lace. fur. beading, chiffon
ruffles and ribbons. One queer idea is
to have the outside rather plain and
the inside finished with rut1ies of lace,
chiffon. silk null or fur.
One very stylish new cape has a
pointed fur yoke. The points reach to
the waist line. There is then a deep
ruffle sewed to this of velvet, some
times a yard deep. This brings the
whole garment pointed front and back.
If it is of velvet it is often trimmed
with fur. and sometimes fringe is add.
ed at the edge.
There was another redingote worth
mention and copying too. 1t was of
Havana brown broadcloth trimmed
With bands of Alaska sable fur. 1t was

best sermons to which we have
listened in long while And q
sermon to command your full att.

make you forget the heat and your
dinner must be a good one.
Few Of us but have been I'M
pressed with the powerful sermon
contained in Longfellow's psalm
Of life, and the discourse yesterday
morning was the embodiment oia
these truths in nutshell. In the
sermon Mr.. Butler dwelt princl-
pally upon the cowardice OF Aaron
as exposing a disposition OF human
nature--that we are all prone 70
lay the blame Of our failures at the
door OF circumstances and envl-
ronment. ''lf our surroundings
had been different we had been
better, broader men and women
Not few people believe more IN
the lines which run:
.'We are creaturesof circumstance, A
Children OF tho hour,
Doomed by Fate relentless hand
And fashioned by his power
Resting and excusiDg themselves
with this thought rather than
dwelling upon this portion Of the
psalm Of life;

and not the attainment which
