the athletic darlings of the feminine
football field and the college rowing

toys must make their bows to the era

Characteristic of the twentieth centu-

who ought to wear loud clothing, a red
necktie, enormous diamonds and carry
a cane, after the fashion of her mascu-

a new century character selecting one
of the creations of the past as partner.

special mention. II must be remember
ed, however, that the costumes differ in
different localities. For instance, an
AndaIusian peasant viii be attired in a
style altogether different from that
worn in the Basque province.
Many OF the costumes Of the German
peasants are very pretty. Wonderful,
indeed. is the attire of the Wurttem-
berg women, with high, black head
dresses looking much like a silk and
lace covered half moon. From the back
Of the bOnnets hang wide bands of
black ribbon reaching to the waist and

braids of fiaxen hair intermingle with

ed affair, with a buff blouse and a white
apron over it.

over the shoulders is crossed a huted

stockings are worn low shoes with met

in case one is not among the belongings
Of the family it may, perhaps, be Dor
rowed from some friend. Stout low
shoes over coarse stockings belong to
this outfit.
The Norwegian, Hungarian, Dutch,
Russian and Grecian women all wear
the most gorgeous gowns. Besides
these characters are the costumes of
women of the orient, to say nothing of
those of CoIumbias new possessions,
whose garments are at once bright and
characteristic.

who make a point of celebrating New
Years eve in some novel and appropri-
ate manner have hit upon the fancy
dress party as the most picturesque and
interesting form of entertainment. Fan
CIV dress is so popular that even a less
Interesting form Of it than the new
century ball would be accorded appro-
baton.
The idea may be varied in several
vvavs. For instance famous characters
of the nineteenth century may assem-
BILE in dress appropriate to their period
70 welcome the dawn of a new century
This is probably the easiest way OF Sc
Iec+inc costumes, for an old picture Of
fine character may be taken as model
with the use of a little theatrical make
~up the lines and shadows upon the
face NAV be deepened or lightened to
harmonic with the pictured face OF the
one TO be represented. In this way the
hostess may be able to entertain all the
great generals, statesmen, musicians
artists. beauties, writer's etc. OF the
past hundred years.
Another way Of carrying out the idea
is to ask the guests to select the COS
fumes Of the past century IN such
zvav that all nations viii be represent
ed. as well as imaginary ones OF the
future. The range Of picturesque cos
TUNES afforded in this way is greater,
for the peasant costumes Of the ma
items for the nineteenth century give
ample scope for brilliant and beautiful
eowning. For instance, the costume OF
q Swedish peasant girl is most charm
ing effect for fancy dress. Take blue
cloth for the short skirt and trim II

of fine white muslin, with rather tuI
sleeves. is worn under a vest Of red,
over which is crossed short sleeveless
Jacket of deeper shade Of the red. A
white apron trimmed with q broad band
of white lace is worn over the gown.
The headdress of white muslin, put on
over the braids of her hair, is so ar
RANGED as to seem to form horns at the
sides Low shoes, with silver buckles,
are worn, with knitted wooden stock
ings.
The Swedish peasant costume most
picturesque for a young man consists
OF tight fitting trousers ending at the
knee with bands and bows Of ribbon. A
short Jacket not unlike a smoking jack
ct is worn with these and is trimmed
down the front with bright buttons.
The Jacket opens over a white under
blouse. High boots of black leather
cover the legs TO the knees, while the
chapeau is q very fat looking hat Of

ILLINOIS FEVER.
Early Settlers in the State All Had
Their Turns Mt Fever
and Shaking.

The worst enemy of the early settlers
in Illinois appears to have been chills
and fever. One of the pioneers writing
of the state in the early '40s says:
my uncle met US with his horses and
farm wagon. Father hired another
team, and we started for my uncle's
new home near Libertyville, Lake coun-
ty, ILL.,, where we arrived the following
morning. The house was a log hut
with one room and an attic. We found
my aunt sick with fever and ague. She
was wrapped in thick shawls and blan-
kets, sitting by the fireplace and shak-
ing like leaf. Before supper was over
mother had a chill and shake which
lasted nearly half the night. The next
day it rained hard and we all had chills,
and my father and uncle went to town,
two miles, for some medicine. They re-
turned with a large bundle of thorough.
wort weed or boneset, a tea made from
which was the order of the day. 1t

and we were very poor. The ague was
in the entire family, my sister and in.
variably shaking at the same hour every
alternate day, and my brothers and IA
theirs shakes coming on at about the
same time. 1 have known the whole
family to shake together, nor did the
neighbors escape. There were few
comfortable homes and few well peo'
pie. Boneset tea was fixture on every
stove fireplace. When my morning
shake arrived used to lie down on the
floor behind the cookstove and almost
hug the old salamander, even on the
warmest summer days, my sister on the
opposite side, my younger brothers
smuggling up close to me and my moth
err sitting as near the fire as she could
get, all of us with our teeth chatter
ing together.
my aunt, who was broken down and
discouraged, would occasionally walk
the two miles to see us, and my mother
and she would talk. about the false
hopes and glittering inducements that
had led their husbands to become vic
tins of the Illinois fever.

EASILY TOLD.
He Could Judge of the Passage OF
Time with the Greatest
Accuracy.

It occurred in Judge Lawlor's court few
days ago. There was, murder trial on and
a policeman named Riley was on the wit.
ness stand relating the details of the trag-
edy. Said Mr.. Ferral, who was acting as
defendants counsel:
How many minutes after the shooting
did the man die, Mr.. Riley?"
Two minutes, SIR answered the witness
without the least hesitation.
You seem positive about the time" re-
marked Mr.. Ferral, with the air of one who
has the upper hand Snow, I'm going to
test your ability to judge time. / will hold
my watch here for two minutes. When you
think the time sup, say when"
The defendants counsel held the watch
on the witness and stood examining the hand
carefully. The policeman, however, did not
seem to be worried at all at the tax upon
his mental apparatus. He sat staring va
cantly about the room, and at the exact sec.
ond when the two minutes had expired,
remarked: "Now!" and smiled like a ticked
sphinx.
Mr.. Ferral was staggered at the uncanny
accuracy of the witness, and Gen. Solomon,
who was prosecuting, was delighted pro-
portionately at his opponents discontinue.
He chuckled in comfortable German way,
during the rest of the session. At the noon
recess he called Riley to him, and, slapping
him on the shoulder, said:

RELOCATED THE HASH.

tiOus Feeders.

In certain boarding house, where variety
was not the spice of life, and where hash
was so frequent an occurrence that it would
have been advertised for if it had come up
missing, lived six boys, who were battling
with a cold world and a colder landlady.
This perpetual hash grew monotonous,
and the boys determined to Danish it from
the table, by fair means or foul. Accord
ingly, when they filed into the dining room
on Monday morning and recognized the
Sundays roast served up in hash the first
boy made low bow and said:
why, good morning, sir; think I've met
you before!"
The second shook his head mournfully and
exclaimed: 'The last sad state of Mr..
Beef"
"Ah, yes" said the third, "the poor fel-
low is all cut up"
'"The remains of close FRIEND" sighed
the fourth.
eyes, closer than brother" assented the
fifth.
'The victim of terrible grind" finished
the sixth, as they took their places at table.
