A WOMAN'S SPRING WARDROBE.
How the Best-dressed Women viii Attire
Themselves at Easter.

From the Ladies Home Journal
The new spring gowns, made all Of one
material, and not with separate waists as
heretofore, will be much worn.
The separate waists will be of light
silks and muslins or other thin materials.
Almost all the new spring stuffs are OF
a soft. elinging quality, which makes
them adaptable TO the present style Of
gown.
There are to be some lovely silk muslins
with punches OF flowers and sprays Of
vines and buds ~Orn.
The smartest shirt waist will be made
tucked back and front from the neck
down, and the tucks will be rather wide
than otherwise. The great tendency Is to
make the waist-line as long as possible
in front
The tailor and walking skirts will bare
" sweep the ground. and the long trains
nave entirely passed away with the habit
and clOse-fitting backs.
The return Of the hustle Is heralded. II

and the smaTtest ones are made ending in

Now that Lent is here and the afternoon
tea is only a memory, instead of daily
spelling our dinner appetitss by tasting
chicken salad. champagne punch. ice
cream and sundry fancy cakes. biscuits.

SIT quietly at home and console ourselves
with the thought that Lent aside fIom

II is really wonderful that the fashiona-
bic world can consume so much of the
same thing and not become disgusted
but the salad days for this season are
gene, and next year the members OF the
bon ton will be eating the same old thing
and enjoying themselves as much as ever.

EARLY SPRING FASHIONS.
Remnants Can Be Serviceably Employed
Trimmings Just Now.

from haFpers BaZar.
This is a very good time of year to buy
| remnants in trimmings. There are bolero
jackets OF lace and passementerie, there
are fronts of embroidered and jetted tulle
and net and there are all-lace waists and
Jackets, besides the capes and collars
that can be utilized to good advantage on
the summer gowns, or, indeed, TO make
over winter gowns that have lost their
first freshness. Another month and these
same things will be much more expensive.
although there will be a greater variety
TO choose from; for what is going on now
(takinS stock. as it is called means sim
ply that what remains on hand is dispos-
ed of rather than carried over for another
season.
The lace boleros are remarkable-those
in renaissance lace, in Irish point and in
guipure, some of which have a trimming
of narrow black velvet ribbon run
through them. Others, again, are fasten-
ed in front with a large bow of chiffon.
II is surprising how a silk waist that has
lost its first freshness is absolutely trans
formed BY one of these lace boleros. or

and long ends. il would never be adSis-

up marks Of wear or soil by trimming
but often waist mas lost its freshness
without being Soiled. and in that case il
is a good plan 10 retfim il: bur it never

The black waists are marvelOusly impr0v-
ed by the bOleros made of velvet flowers
outlined with jet and held together with
strings OF jet beads. They are To De
found at all the new shops in different
cOlors, and make a gown look quite new.

ularly well with a cloth gown that has a
waistcOat or front of white satin. The
braid Is not used in any great quantity
but outlines the jacket and is put in one
or two rows on the skirt, the straight
rows being broken by loops and buttons
made Of the braid, while the jacket is fas-
tened with buttons Of the braid fastened
with loops of the same.

COLLEGE GIRLS GReWSOAe JOKE.
But They Enjoyed a Laugh at the Expense
of Their IhivaIr0us Fellow-students.
From the Ladies', Home Journal.

From the Ladies Home Journal
A certain cO-educational college has a
ledge running just outside the girls rooms
on the fourth floor, connecting window
with window. This ledge the girls used
for going from room to room for mid
night feasts. In the daytime 1t was in
plain sight of the campus. One after
noon a party of college men coming
across the campus saw four girls sitting
on this ledge talking and laughing and
eating bananas and cakes. and enjoying
themselves generally SUDDENLY there was
shrek. The men saw one girl slip and
pitch headlong over the ledge. The other
girls, with terrified faces, rushed 10 the
nearest windows. The men ran toward
the BODY of the unfortunate girl. 1t had
struck heavily and lay perfectly still
With horror and pity they lifted the limp
form. 1t was a second or two before they
realized that the tumbled clothes were
but fastened to an old stuffed megaphone
and that the whole thing was a huge
jGke-befOre they saw the laughing faces
a every window. Then they put the de-
jected dressed-up megaphOne down
roughly, pulled their hats over their
eyes and went away. peal after peal of
laughter going after them.

be the high-water mark of gayety for the
Lenten season. This model had a graceful
clinging skirt gathered in the center of

and around the bottom was a rich black
chenille fringe. The blouse bodice was
cut into low square, which was edged
with a rope of tucked chiffon in a dainty
mauve, and decorated with a large clus-

Rose Leaves Instead of Rice,

From the Ladies' Home Journal
The opening of the door to permit the
departure of bride and groom has here
tofore been the signal fOT a general pelt-
ing with riCe-a Chinese custom convey
ing wishes for good health and prosperity
But this custom has been so abused with
vulgarity, often producing injurious re-
suits, that il Is being discarded at the
weddings of careful people. and shower
ing the bride with rose leaves or loose
flowers has been instituted. These flow
ers are then again picked up and kept as
souvenirs by the guests.

Not F0nd of Tea,

The frst excuse for declining the prof
fered cup was generally I've Just had
/ some, thank you, at Mrs. Bees"
Then the callers became more honest
and confessed that Il know you make
lovely tea, but, TO tell the truth, 1 never
drink it,
FINALLY, tea-makers realized that after
| noon teas with the tea in the foreground
were dismal failures: that American wo-
men are not fond of tea. and most Amer
lean men detest it, Men like coffee: thcy
VIII occasionally indulge in chocolate bur
tea-never. Most men have - idea that
tea IS beverage only fit for old women.
Yet statistics prove that America as a tea
consuming country ranks very high.
Where Is it drunk? Not at afternoon
teas. certainly
After tea passed out of favor il was the
proper thing to purchase an expensive
chocolate set and prepare not chocolate
Tor friends. But, whereas many persons
IKE chocolate, IL is too rich for even those
who have a taste for II, besides being a
great deal of trouble TO prepare and keen
hot.
So chocolate failed. Coffee was tried
but many women are afraid Of strong cof-
Zee and will not touch weak stuff, and the
men only like it with their three regular
meals per day. so that coffee was not a
success
Having tried all these home drinks.
there remained only one other kind of bev-
erage to try. So It happens that we have
punches Of all kinds. A tea without its
punch bowl is not tea.
Why do they call it a tea? Why not
call 1t punch?' remarked a witty states
man at a tea as he lodged a plate of
chicken salad balanced unevenly above his
bald head.
Because were not supposed to dispense
liquors at an afternoon tea" answered a
lady at his elbow. You men can go into
a saloon, and everybody knows what
you're going for, but you can just as well
go to a grocery store and get the same
thing, and nobody suspects you. Suppose
We called tea a punch, you statesmen
wouldn't dare attend, and | don't think
any women would"
There is one serious drawback to the
punch bowl at teas and that is the tenn
perance woman. She hates the. sight of
punch, and spends a great deal Of her time
in preaching against 1t to her friends.

Cando Record:
The movement OF settlers toward
North Dakota and other parts of the
west and northwest has begun in
earnest, and in addition to the weekly
excursions, several special trains will
be called into service during the latter
part Of the month to care for the
heavy travel.
One party will comprise l,5oo people
and will require $50 freight II TO
carry their household effects and
stock. Nonesof these people are for
eigners, but are well-to-do settlers
from Southern and Eastern states.
A party which will number between
two and three thousand immigrants
from Finland. is expected about April
1, to locate in North Dakota.

Editor lnter-OceRn:
Probably TIE most satisfactory
feature Of our war with Spain was the
complete u~nification of our people
which it induced. The antagonisms
between north and south, the clash Of
interests between east. and west were
obllterated, and all regardless of party,
color, creed, or personal antipathy,I
united in support of the honor Of the
nation. Harmony was a paramount,
necessity of the hour, and it was
secured, not by pandering to the
wrong, but BY q sturdy stand for what
was right.
At the approach Of our municipal
election it might not prove amiss for
our voters and political managers to
take a lesson from the national govern
ment, especially since harmony has
been SO long and so vainly sought by
them. Harmony, according to Web
ster means "a concord of interests
but our local statesmen apparently
have not yet learned the futility Of
attempting to harmonic elements
which from their very nature are5sin
antagonism. They seem to think that
harmony is to be achieved by pulling
the wool over the eyes of the tenn
perance people and trucking to the
whisky people. Or it may he that it
is not harmony they are really after,
but success for their " personal
schemes under guise of success Tor
the party. At any rate it is high time
that the law-abiding element Of this
town, irrespective of party, unite to
secure 9 municipal government that
will connive at no wrong doing, but
will serve with an eye single to en-
surfing the best interests Of the town.

Must Enforce Vaccination.

Columbia, S. C March 26.-Mag-
istrate Mobley has been reported for
not issuing a warrant for the arrest
of 8 person who refused to be vac
cinated under the recent act The
matter was investigated by Senator
Douglass at the request of the gov
ernor and Mr. Douglass reports that
Mobley consented to issue the war
rant. But Dr. Going positively
denies this. The governor wants it
understood that magistrates must
cooperate with the health officers in
carrying out the law and enforcing
vaccination wherever called upon.
He will remove magistrates from
Office where they refuse to carry out
the law
