LACE CAPES.

pensive garments in the way of wrnps

made possible for winter AS well o.
summer wear provided they are lind
with warm lining. They look lite
in homogeneous at first for cold weathr,
but as they are trimmed with fur and
rich embroidery in spangled designs,
they can hardly be classed rs ex.
clusively summer garments. The white
lace wraps are made up over act ordion.
ploated mousseline de sole that in its
turn, is lined with white satin. They
are quite long, and tho lace is put on
rather full, but not in pleats. ard the
full beauty of the design shows over
the light mousseline de sole. The yoke
effect over the shoulders is sometims
hidden by a capuchin hoad of velvet
lined with spangled lace. There are
long ends OF pleaSed chiffon edged with
ruohing. Black lace over viii Q,

The demand for the three- piece skirt
seems never to abate. The smart mode
illustrated is suited to bothwool stuffs
and such heavy washable materials as
duck, pique and suiting linen. The
circular portions require to be pieced
in the latter, but are so arranged that
the seams are concealed by the folds. 1t
can be made with or without tho cir
cular flounce, as preferred, but is some
what more graceful when it is in
oluded. The finish can be the severe
one of machine stitched lines or of
bands, as in the illustration. The skirt
fits smoothly and snugly over the hips,
the fulneas in the back can be arranged
in an inverted plait or gathers as pre-
ferred. The pattern includts directions
for both.
To make the skirt in the medium
size Az yards of material so inches
wide, or yards 32 inches wide, will
be required. .--..

clares that before the stone throwing
happened be was told by prominent
citizen of Fort Wayne that "there had
Eeen carefully laid plot on the part

they did in 1884. when Blaine came
here to speak," "They succeeded

ORIGIN OF WOMEN.


A Story Good Enough to be True, Even If It
be Fairy Tale.
new York Press.
There fare many curious legends hes
lieyed in by the Hindoos, and among
them ia one concerning the origin OF
woman.
Twashtri, the god Vulcan Of the
Hindoo my thology, created the world.
But on his beginning to create woman
he discovered that with mar he had
exhausted all his creative materials,
and that not one solid element bad
been left. This, of course, greatly per-
picked Twashtri, and caused him 10
fall IN q profound meditation. When
be arose from it he proceeded as fol-
lows: He took the roundness of the
moon, the unduating curves of the
serrent, the graceful twist OF the creep
ing plant, the light shivering of the
grass blade, the tenderness OF the will
| low, the velyety softness of the flowers,
| the lightness of the feather. the gentle
gaze of the doe, the frolicsomeness OF
| the dancing sunbeam, the tears of the
cloud, the INCONSISTENCY of the wind, the
| timidness of the hare, the vanity Of
| the peacock, the hardness Of the dia.
| mond, the sweetness OF honey, the
i cruelty OF the tiger, the heat OF fire
and the chill of snow, the cackling OF
| the parrot and the cooling Of the turtle
| dove. All these he mixed together and
formed woman. Then he presented
her to the man.
But a week after the man came back
| to Twashtri and said: 20 Lord, the
creature thou hast given me poisons
my existence. She jabbtrs necessarily
and takes up all my time. She c0n'
tinuously complains without Cause
and is always ill. l have come to i'm
More thee to take her back again, for
cannot live with her. :" Ano Ywashtrl
| took the woman again. But week
| after the man once more made lis ap.
,,earance, saying: 80 Lord, my lie IL
lonely and desolate since thou iockest
her away. Now l remember that o
danced before me and sang sweet songs
to me. l also recollect the tende, looks
she gave me. She fondled me and 10 X
me in her arms"
And Twashtri was moved 10 Pity AMI
restored her to the man. But only
th ee days after the man once more ap.
peared before Twashiri ana began so
Lord, | do not know why. but ] am
certain that the woman causes me more
vexation than pleasure :. beseech thee,
take her away from me-"
But the enraged Twashtri cried out:
SECT thee hence, aud proceed the lest
thou oanst, ungrateful being" But
the man snid: " cannot live with
her" Neither wilt thou beucefor h
be able to live without her !" replied
Twashtri. And the man was soroy
troubled and lamented. "Woe onto
me! cannot do with her and cannot
do without her. My misery has begun. "
