Use and Abuse oil Perfumes.

1t is not good form to use triple ex-
tracts ana other strong perfumes on the
handkerC hicf or clothing. but the SuggcS-
ton of perfume. as if one had been walk
ing through a garden or an orchard and
a little of the scent had chung to the per
son. is permissible: Of course, the jEolf
girl and the bicycle girl ana the horse
girl disdain all flower scents, and tho
strong minded woman sets down liking
for fragrant OdOrS as an Indication of de
.srncraCy. There is some reason in this,

Item one to bc observed: DO not apply
the perfume directly to the person or

most faStidiOuS. Because some bad Wnm-
IN have abused the use Of perfumes and
ignorant ones have chedpened it. it does
not follow that we should exclude all
fragrance. While musk and the like are
and should remain under the ban, we
may open the window and let in, with the
fresh air, the scent Of lilacs and crab APP
pie, the fragrance of the rose and the
spicy odors of the grove. only let it re
mind one of nature, and not Of the drug
store.

Fashion and Fabrics.

An extremely attractive dress sleeve

ton Of the sleeve worn during the
early sixties The upper part. which Is
usually made of silk. satin or rather
thick material. is close fitting ana

completed by Il cuff. Below this Is a
full portion Of net lace or other trans
parent fabric. and this terminates in

this picturesque model the lingerie
sleeve. but the name does not strike
the fancy as particularly appropriate.
says the June Designer.
Drapcry effects are becoming more
and more popular for silk waists. cS-
pccially for those made of handker-
chiefs. The surplice effect is also high
in favor for both silk ana wash waist.
one feature is common to waists of
all styles, whether of silk. wool or
washable materials-that is, the COL
lars almost invariably close in the
back.
Tucks and boX-pIeats appear on
many Of the skirts designed for sum

| all around is a particularly stylish
garment and is very handsome when
made up in plain cloth without decora-
ton save machine stitching. on some
pique skirts box-pleats are simulated
| by straps of the material stitched
down. This makes the skirt much
lighter in weight.

ROOTS BILL INTRODUCED.
In Amended Form May Pass House
s. This Week.

Washington, Dec. 3-Secretary
Roots bill for a reorganization of the
army was introduced today by Chair.
man Hull Of the military committee
and at once referred to the committee.
Work on the bill has been in pro-
gress and the measure is now practi-
cally completed and ready to be
passed. The bill will probably be con-
sidered within a day or two, certainly
by Friday, with the expectation of pas
sing it in the house before the close
of the present week.
Hull says the requirement of the
military service make it essential to
pass the measure without delay. One
of the changes in the bill made by the
committee today was to adopt the
~anti-canteen amendment. offered by
Hay of Virginia, prohibiting the sale
of liquor on military property, trans
ports, etc. Another change made
creates an inspector of artillery, in
stead of chief of artillery, who is to be
on the staff of the general command
ing army.

MRS. ROBINSON RELEASED.
Says Stock Was Given to Her by
Robinson.

Cleveland, Dec. g. Mrs. Grace
Robinson, arrested Saturday on the
charge of being a fugitive from JUS
tice at Libby, Mont, was released to-
day on a telegram from the sheriff of
Flathead county, Mont. It had been
alleged that she had taken $50, 900
worth of bonds belonging to her hus-
band.
Mrs. Robinson made a statement to.
night to the Associated Press CORES
pendent. One year ago she was Grace
Briggs, a high school girl at La Pere,
Mich, where her father is a harness
maker. Through a girl friend she
and her girl companions heard of
George Robinson, a bachelor at Libby
Greek, Mont, who was rich in mining
shares, but lacked a wife. Grace was
bantered into writing to him and a
courtship followed. She accepted
Robinsons' invitation to visit him,
with the consent Of her parents.
Taking a liking to him she agreed to
marry him and did so, receiving min
ing stock worth $25, 900 as her bridal
gift. Ten months Of life with a hus-
band 40 years old proved distasteful to
the pretty IS year old girl and a few
days ago, after having received from
him more stock worth $40, 900, she de-
serted him and came east.
This is the story she tells and it is
corroborated in part by t~elegraphic
advices from La Pere. Mrs. Robinson
intends to return to her La Pere home.

EMPEROR WILLIAM DENIES
HIM AUDIENCE.
ACTION ANNOYS GEAMANS
Nations Sympathies with Beers
Despite Kaiser's Refusal
to Receive Him.

Berlin, Dec. 3-The governments
curt and decisive intimation that EN-.
peror William would not be able tc
receive Kruger has created a profound
impression throughout Germany.
What may be called the anti British
section Of the press does not conceal
its annoyance and moderate anglo.
phobe organs with difficulty repress
their utterances of disappointment.
Those journals say that it was Ger
many's desire to intimate that Kruger
would not be welcome and therefore
the fact that he omitted to comply
with the strict etiquette of the Ger
man court and deferred asking EN-
perOr William for an audience until
he had reached the Belgo-G German
frontier was eagerly seized as a reason
for denying him such an audience.
There is no doubt that as late as
Saturday the foreign office officials
contemplated that Kruger would be
received in Berlin tomorrow. The
emperor and Count Won Buelow must
have reconsidered the original Plan.
1t is suggested that as Kruger's inten-
tion to come to Berlin was smooted
while in France, the kaiser and his ad-
visers may have suspected a trap.
Diplomatists generally regard
Kruger's mission as frustrated and
consider Germany's action as of great
political Importance and as denoting a
new era in the relations between Ger
many and Great Britain. On the
other hand the governments attitude
is certainly condemned by a large por-
tion of the nation and there can be no
doubt that a vast majority of the peo-
pie throughout the country remain
pro-Kruger. Last evening the court
chaplain, DR.. Eritchner, in the new
cathedral delivered a sermon, strongly
f~avoring the Boer cause. .

MUST ATTEND EVERY DAY.
Teachers Not Regular in Attendance al
Institutes Will Be "Docked.n

Institutes Will Be "Docked."
Teachers who miss attending teach
ers' institutes will be "docked' for
the time they are away from the
school. State Superintendent E. A.
Carleton in an opinion given a few
days ago to school officials at Boulder
says:
"You ask me if your board of school
trustees should pay a teacher for the
time Of the county institute when the
teacher missed all but one day.
"Your board is authorized to pay the
teacher in question only for such time
as he actually attends, as certified by
your county superintendent. 1t is the
duty of the county superintendent to
u to be kept a record of the at
tendance of every teacher, and at the
close of the institute to certify said at
tendance to the different board of
school trustees employing the teach
ers. Not until such certificate is re-
ceived from the county superintendent
is any board authorized to pay a
teacher for the time spent in attend
ing the institute, and then only for
the time actually in attendance"

TRUE TO TRADITION.
Democrats Will Continue Opposition to
Government.

Government.
Washington, Dec. ga caucus OF
the democratic members of the house
Of representatives was held iii the
hall of the house at the close Of the
session today to agree upon the curse
to be taken upon the army re-organi-
cation bill. Hay, of Virginia, mem
Der Of the military affairs committee,
explained the status of the army bill
proposed by Secretary Root and urged
the d%esiraiblity of not legislating until
the course of the government as to the
Philippines had been more definitely
determined. He proposed the follow
ing resolution: RESOLVED, that it is
the sense of this caucus that the law
now in existence as to the army be
continued two years from July 1,
1901"
This led to an extended discussion.
Slayden, Texas, also Of the military
committee, amended the time to one
year. Jones, Virginia, offered a SUBJ
stitute resolution expressing the op-
position of the caucus to the army
reorganization bill submitted by the
war department.. Richardson, Bailey,
Carmack, Newlands, Cox and others
made speeches showing a considerable
diversity of opinion as to what should
be done. Hay finally withdrew his
resolution and the other propositions
were not presented, the caucus ad-
journing without action.

NO TIME FIXED,

Washington, Dec. Chairman
Payne of the ways and means COM
mittee, said today that no exact pro-
gramlne had been fixed as to the time
Of acting in committee on the bill re-
ducing the revenues or for considering
the measure in the house. There has
been some talk of a caucus, but it has
not come to the attention Of Payne
that a caucus on the measure is de-
sired and there is some doubt as to
whether one will be required.
