Double-Breasted Eton Jacket.

Every possible variation of the Eton
jacket is shown among the imported
gowns. The stylish May Manton mod
el shown in the large engraving is ad-
mirable for both separate jackets and
suits. For the latter use cloth of all
sorts is appropriate, as is velvet, which
is much worn for occasions of formal
dress. For general wear heavier cloth
and heavy cheviot have the preference,
although black velvet is to have an
extended vogue for visiting and church
wear. AS shown, the jacket is de-
signed for q costume of soft tan col
ored broadcloth, with bands of white,
edged with tiny silk ball button trim
ming that matches the cloth. With
the skirt is Worn deep draped bodice
belt of soft silk, which is shown at
the back, Where the Jacket slopes up
to produce the fashionable short
walsted effect.
The back is seamless and fits with
perfect smoothness; the fronts are
fitted by means Of single darts and lap

that, with the buttonholes, keep the

for theatre wear and all those occa-
sions which mean removing the out
side wrap. The smart May Manton
model illustrated includes all the
latest features and is comfortable at
the same time that it is easily made.
AS shown, the material is doe colored
satin-faced cloth, with yoke of darker
velvet and trimming of embroidered
applique, while the cape is lined with
fancy taffeta in light shades, but cloth
of any color, drap dete, Henrietta or
peau de sole can be substituted, with
any trimming and lining preferred.
The pointed yoke and high, flaring
collar are cut together, but in sections,
which allow of a perfect fit. The
cloth that makes the cape proper is
laid all around in backward turning
pleats, forming an inverted pleat at
the centre back. Each pleat is stitched

the edge to form the narrow tucks.

A PRINCE AND HIS COOK.
The Ruler of Bulgaria Drove n Hard Ear
gain with His Chef.

The Ruler of Bulgaria Drove a Hard Ear
gain with His Chef.
'The Prince and the Cook" is the
theme of rather amusing story in
which the ruler of Bulgaria and his
former chef play the leading parts.
About IS months ago the prince en-
gagged at Vienna the services of chef
named Vaniczec for term of two
years, on the following basis: The cook
was to receive no wages, but sum of
10 francs day for providing dejeuner
and dinner for the prince, his family
and the members of his court and
household. In addition he was to re-
ceive 10 francs (Which is a little less
than 50 day for each invited guest
who happened to take dejeuner or din
ner under the princes roof. As . n
guarantee of his observance of the
terms of the contract, the chef was
compelled to deposit with the princes
treasurer sum of $4,000.
Before the cook had been very long
at Sofia he found that ruin stared him
in the face. The demands and require
ments of theprince, ina culinary sense,
We're such that the dejeuner alone
which his Highness required the cook
to supply cost more than 10 francs a
head, so that the price of the dinner
virtually came out of the chefs own
pocket. When the chef asked for an
increase he was told that he would
have to stick to the terms of his con-
tract, and when he struck work and de-
clined to continue any longer, the
prince coolly contiscated the $4,000
which the chef had been called upon
to deposit as a guarantee.
The chef thereupon instituted suit
against the prince, demanding the re-
turn of his $4,000 and the payment
of an additional sum of $4,000 which
he showed by vouchers that he had
spent out of his own resources over
and above what he had received from
the prince in order to meet the latter s
requirements. The courts gave a de-
cision in favor of the prince.
But the cook has got even ut last, for
he has opened at Budapest great res
taurant in the ultra-fashionable An
drassy street, the place bearing the
title of "Prince of Bulgaria" and
adorned with the latter's arms, while
the worthy host by way of attracting
customers, is never tired of relating
piquant stories of an intimate charac-
ter concerning the Prince of Bulgaria
and his court, calculated to show both
the one and the other in ridiculous
and contemplate light, the consensus
of opinion at Budapest being that the
prince would have been wiser to pay
his cook.-Washington Post.

THE REALM OF FASHION.

ing it a modified Bayadere aspect.
This effect should not be attempted
by a very short woman, as the ar
rangement of lines tends to make the
figure look abbreviated. With such
a gown the same idea should be car
ried out on the bodice. The waist
should be cut double-breasted across
the chest and fasten on the left side.
This is the best model for displaying
diagonal lines of insertion ON q
bodice.

But all in vain, with might and main

Have proven fruitless cares,

INrELLIGENcER "FAIRNEss.~

The fair" and truthful Intelligencer
is once more in evidence. Sunday
night the Associated Press sent out a
telegram from Cleveland, containing an
interview with Mark Hanna, in which
the Senator and Boss reiterated his re-
cent interview to the effect that in the
event of Bryan s election Richard Croker
would be allowed to name ONE mem
Der of the Cabinet The Intelligencer
printed this dispatch, but, in conspicu-
Gus head, made it read: "Bryan's Cab
met, In Case of His Election, Will Be
Named by Dick Croker. 1t made that
false statement deliberately, for the text
of the telegram Immediately following,
contains no such language. The evil
dent intent of the Intelligencer was to
mislead such readers as merely skip
over the headlines of an article without
reading the full text. This is the most
recent example of Intelligencer fair
ness"

WHO Is SHE:

Down in Marshall county Republicans
and Democrats alike are wearing paper
and silk badges bearing this legend in
red ink: "Who is Mrs. Bratton? Ask
Dovener!" Nobody appears to know
who this interesting female is. In the
list of clerks recently appointed at
Washington appears this item:
Mrs. Florence c. Bratton, of Mounds
vile. W. Va, appointed a clerk in the
postoffice there December Is, 1899, and
transferred January s. 1901
We have the authority of the Mounds
vile Echo for the statement that Mrs.
Bratton was never clerk in that Office,
and that no clerk from the Moundsville
office was ever transferred. There is a
widespread belief that Mrs. Bratton
really has her home in Washington, and
that she was appointed through the in
fluence of Captain Dovener, and cred
tied up to Moundsville, but this surmise
has not been completely verified, al
though there are folks who insist that
this diagnosis of the case is the correct
one.

STAND AND DELIVER.

Mark Hanna is engaged in frying
the fat over East with an assiduity
and persistency which causes the cold
chflls to run up and down the backs
of those whom he holds up.
The big boss recently told his five
advisers that what he wanted was
money, and not advice, and that there
was not nearly enough money in sight
to suit him. He remarked:
This campaign is simply burning
up money. am short all the time.
Look at this"
This" was schedule of things to
be done The five advisers eyes bulged
when they saw the secret paper. No
National Chairman ever had taken his
advisers so completely into his conf
dence with regard to the 'unwritten
details" The sums set down opposite
the various items were simply stag
gering.
All efforts to obtain definite facts
from the advisers of the Boss have
so far been futile, but it is admitted
that Mark has collected millions, and
yet is broke, so far as political funds
are concerned. What has he done with
the Doodle?
