TWENTIETH CENTURY MODES

NEW YORK, December -, 1900.

Meanwhile there are plenty of good gov us

The dresses see on the streets and in

ing and all-pervading as are undersleeves
and strangely shaped Etons.
What an Eton can be when 1t tries IS
shown in a very expressive sketch Of a

de chine body. This is pastel blue Eton
with a fiat Russian lace braid laid ulCn it
and all the edges OF the braid are chain
stitched down with heavy gold thread. OF

Always a model prisoner, Mr.. James
Hardnut. otherwise Saint James, other
wise Silver Jimmy whose imitation coins
we're at once the envy and despair of his
fellow counterfeiters, had received his fun
allowance of good time. thereby complet-
ing his four-year sentence in three years
and two months, and now, dressed In a
i, cheap but respectable ready-made suit and
ii warm overcoat he stood in the warder' s
Office to obtain his railroad ticket and the
small sum of money to his credit.
Goodbye, Jimmy" The white haired
warden extended his hand and smiled
so long, warden responded Jimmy,
heartily. I'm see you later"
The veteran keeper who had watched the
young man disappear in the direction of
the railway station, turned TO one of his
assistants ITS funny what pranks nature
plays. Look at Jimmy. If ever angel was
written on a mans face, it's on his, and
written large"
1t was quite true. He was the most
guileless appearing scamp one could We'll
imagine. HIS big, innocent blue eyes, look
cd straight into yours with a sine Gritty that
was beyond question Hence the SAINT
James; and these characteristics were
often most valuable. for. if Jimmy was
rounded up and brought INTO court, where
he was not known /, was almost certain
that the sympathy of the court, jury and
spectators would be with the frank-fact d
lad; and. If not quickly cleared of the
charge against him, story of hard luck
told to the court in that !i-moduated
Foise of his. was enough to insure at the
worst a mild sentence in the workhcuse,
instead of years in prison. Once. when he
had thus imposed on an impressfonabie
Judge in federal court, and had been SEN
fenced to four months in Jail, he was so
overcome with emotion that he could hard
Iy thank the court for its leniency; but as
he passed through the doorway in charge
Of the marshal he whispered: -Four
months Holy smoke! l could stand on my
head that long?
His last case had been different however.
He had been out of Jail only month after
the short sentence with the aCroba tic pos
sibilties when he was caught red-handcd
and got g sentence severe enough to effec-
tually dispel any thoughts of levity. Dur
ing the years Of his incarceration Jimmy's
fertile brain had not been Idle, and the day
he walked out a free man he had several
schemes In mind that promised success.

MY LADN'S FAN.
Weapon as Well ns m Ornament In
Her Hands.
From the New York Herald.

| From the New York Herald.
| Some one has said that a woman's best
weapon is her tongue. But that was GER
| tainly not as chivarous a view as the one
expressed by the gallant old courtier who
| declared womans deadiest weapon to be
| her fan.
| And when you come to think Of it, what
| artifce carries war into the enemys camp
| one-haif so effectually as the curve of a
pretty fan. just disclosing a pretty wo-
| mans rounded cheek or the cupid's bow of
her lips? Just take long, observant
look about the next crowded ballroom you
happen to be in, and you'll find as many
fans as there are feminine personages. Are
any of them permitted to swing in idle lux
ury? Aren't most, If indeed not all, doing
valiant service in the same old warfare
that has gone on since the first coquette
started the fashion.
The fan IS as irrevocably associated with
the Spanish woman as is the lace mantilla
with which she Grapes her dusky hair In
her hands 1t is weapon to be reckoned
with. The Cuban woman who made such a
stir among our brawny collegians this sum-
mer were able to teach their American sis
tiers a trick or two with the fan well worth
knowing.
AS to the style Of fan to carry; 1t is SIM
ply matter of choice. and the variety may
be even greater than the number of gowns
hanging up in your dressing room.
often the object of personal selection; on
the contrary. they usually represent the
mark of affection for of dear friends
and dearer relatives. Where is the girl
who doesn't own to having at least
priceless bit of ivory and gold or tortoise
shell and filmy lace tenderly swathed In
cotton and carefully laid away with
gretful signs for the money so lavishiy, yet
kindly. spent for such a useless gift
There was a time when the fan was 4
necessary adjunct of the feminine toilet.
and If small fans were in large ones
out: and when the glossy ostrich feathers
were the correct thing with which to create
a gentle breeze then the fan of simmer
ing gauze was baniShed to obscurity. Now
a woman carries whatever fan happens to
sui: her fancy.
There is always something sumptuous
about a gracefully waved plume Of long
curling ostrich feathers. even though the
breeze it creates is far too gentle to be re-
freshing.
The real French fan Is always In good
taste. but it is not often carried. The deli
cate material and exquisite workmanship
make 1t too much of a treasure to run the
risk of an accidental breakage.
