Councilman Finn's motion to pass It
over his hOnor's veto was lost, and
the mayors second message read.
Councilman Oliver then rose, and said:

The present Czarina of Russia goes
to extremes in the simplicity of he;
court apparel, and in this respect
forms n great contrast to tho famous
Elizabeth Petrowna, daughter of Peteg
the Great.
The latter, while Empress, had
earned the title Of elizabeth the
Good" because she never approved of
any executions III her empire. On
the other hand, she was much criticised
for her extravaganza and eccentricity
in dress. After her death the fact be-
came known that she had Is, 600 cost
ly gowns in her wardrobe, none of
which had ever adorned her royal per-
son.
Now, when tho dress of court is a
more serious matter with the royal
and noble women, RussiA has a Gar
ina who observes the strictest sim
plicity in her gowns, aud requires the
same from her guests and attendants.
This has caused endless dissatisfac-
tion. The ultra fashionable lady must
bear the chagrin OF appearing at court
functions in a very plain toilet, for
otherwise the scrutinizing eyes would
pick her out rs mark for disap-
proyal.
This extraordinary plainness battles
her admirers all the more because it is
well known fact that the Gear is ex-
tremely fond of chic apd has often ex-
pressed his admiration for elaborate,
costly ladies toilets.

stitching the long coat which does
not appear on an Eton style of jacket
or those which only just cover the
waist line. These dainty wraps are
often made OF the same material as
the skirt, but this is not necessary
to be modish. Velvet taffetas, bro
caded goods and plain cloths, often
of another color, are used with good
effect.
Often on fancy model, or one in
tended to be worn when something
"dressy" is required, set figures are
nppliqued on the sides aud across the
back. White is used on the revers,
sometimes velvet, and these are
stitched unless covered by a coarse
lace. A favorite trimming is the
French knot, and this has sprung
into popularity to great extent this
spring. Not only is ii used upon re-
vers of outside garments, but upon
waists worn upon all occasions.
A violet cloth jacket with folds or
trimming of peau de sole of the same
shade is one of the new conceits. and
darker shade of heliotrope with
white revers of peau dc sole stitched
with black is the style of another
iaunty jacket. A long coat with high
collar, suitable for spring days is of
cream cloth with bands of black and
silver braid. The collar is held in
place by a long silk cravat. 1t is
beyond doubt the short, or Eton,
jacket that will be affected this year,
for it is graceful and becoming to all

girl who knows just what colors suit

bright yellow. Those colors will only
accentuate the reds in her hair aud
tue contrast is exceedingly unbecom-

browns and plenty OF them. These

told of the influence of American girls

During the late war with Spain
every Spanish friend of the school re-

intellectually surpasses other Spanish
cities, il is thought the school will
eventually be moved there. The work
of educating girls has been extended
to Cuba, and will include the Philip
