A TRAILING SKIRT.
1t Grows No Shorter AS It's Reign
Grows Longer.

1t is all very well to declare that
you will not wear the fashionably long
dress skirt; to put yourself on record
as ''agin it," and to preach to your
dressmaker and tailor about their GRIM
inality in encouraging such thing I'M
til he or she show signs of dropping Off
to sleep.
But what are you going to do when,
in spite of all your preaching, both
dressmaker and tailor prove to you
that your gown, if short, will look
hopelessly behind the times; when you
yourself see that present modes de-
mand a sweeping skirt to carry out
their artistic intent and when you re-
alize that refusal to conform to the
general rule will make you an unfash-
iOnable exception?
1t is courageous woman who, fash
ion or no fashion, has the strength to
take a determined stand and keep her
walking gowns clear from the pave
ment
fashionable gown is its length all
around. It doesn't just trail in the
back. It sweeps the ground for an ap-
parently unlimited number of inches
in front and at the sides, as we'll as in
the rear.
To put on one of these ultra fashion
able long skirts for the first time is
like trying on a ready-made dress
skirt, warranted to fit the Australian
Giantess if need be, and relying upon
surgical operations to adapt it to the
one hundred and seventeen pound fig
ure, five feet four inches tall
The fact is, to wear the long skirt
gracefully is an art; to learn to walk
in it is like learning to walk all over
again

BOER WOMEN.
A Criticism Of Them Not at
Friendly.

Mrs Roy DeyereuX, described asN me
author Of Side Lights on South All pea,
contributes to the New York WOr q a
paper in which she draws anytningDepG
flattering picture Of the WOmel~ OF
Dom Paul's land LAS far" she saysp
''as one continent is from anothe9-as'
far as temperament, tradition and edu-
cation can divorce human beings, each
from each-just so wide is the great
gulf which divides the bOer woman
from the womanhood of modern Eng
land and America Both, indeed, pc
long to the sex of it's mother, and tnat
eternal, inevitable fact constitutes the
only similarity between them. Re-
garded from this standpoint, the pres
ent war is, one might say, the express
sion of the difference between the
Englishman and the bOer, but even
that vast divergence is small compared
with the chasm which all the influences
of civilization have created between
the women of these two nations. Each
century, even every decade, has
changed and nodded us. We have
with his footprints. Not SO with the
boer maiden, wife and mother. Time
has passed over her instead of taking
her by the hand She still remains as
she was in the beginning, as we were
in the primitive age of the worlds his
tOry-the mere female, in the lowest,
the most elemental sense alone, the
other half of man"
Mrs. Kruger, though the first lady in
the Transvaal, has been so lacking in
culture and refinement as to have IA
children, "has never read any book but
the Bible, and could not sign her own
name to save her life"-a fact scarce
ly to be wondered at, considering how
fully her time has been occupied in
increasing the population of the re-
public. Another Indictment brought by
Mrs. DevereuX against the Transvaal
women is that they are not good look
ever falls to the lot of the feminine
boer." Yet is her lot not all unhappy,
considered from the ordinary femin-
inc standpoint, even according to Mrs.
Deyereux's admission, for it seems
that she rarely or never fails to secure
a husband. For "the beers are much
given to marrying and giving in mar
riage, and if man remains unwed af-
ter thirty he becomes almost an object

WAR AND FAMINE IN CUBA.

l must have seen seventy-five
graveyards on my trip in the various
provinces, and [ remember only one
that was not enlarged because of
the famine of the war. Major-Gen-
eral James H. Wilson told me that
the story of the horrors of recon
centration had been only partly told.
1t was far worse than the people Of
the United States had believed. The
pen of trained historian alone can
do that story Of death by famine and
military wantonness justice. Com
petent judges assert that the island
is nearly 100000 men short.
In most of the provinces the birth
rate is less than one-half of what it
was before the war. The island was
stripped of cattle. In Matanzas the
province chiefly given to the cattle
raising industry, there were 298, 600
cattle, according to a census, in 1894.
When the war ceased there were
fewer than 5000 cattle in the province.

LOOKS LIKE GAUzE, BUT ISN'T"

Governor McMillin of Tennessee got
into difficulties the other day trying
to describe a costume belonging to his
wife while away on visit in st. Louis.
The day of Mrs. Branchs buffet
luncheon, given in honor of the dis
tingushed Tennessee ladies, Mrs. Nc
Millin appeared in a handsome toilet
Of gray broadcloth, gray chiffon rose
velvet and point lace, and a large
black velvet picture hat, with black
velvet ribbons Topped under the chin
The costume was what is described in
the fashion notes as a "confection, y
with all sorts of Frenchy little touches
about it,
That same morning, an hour or two
before the Tennessee ladies wendell
their way out to the Branch residence,
Governor McMillin was approached in
the lobby of the southern hotel and
asked to give a description Of Mrs.
McMillin's costume for the afternoon.
He obligingly went upstairs to get the
necessary details and returned to the
lobby, where he was buttonholed by a
cordial ex-Tennesseean for a few min
utes Then he was ready to talk IA
shions.
Mrs. McMillin's gown-now, let me
see. 1t is made of-what do you call
that thin stuff that looks like gauze-
and isn't gauze? Has French name
you know what I mean. MOusseline
de sole! That's it!
what color?" looking thoughtful.
well, Mrs. McMillin told me, but,
somehow, for the life of me I can't
seem to remember. Just let me think
a minute and perhaps it'll come to
me-" The governor lapsed into a semi
somnambulant state for about two sec
Onds, rumpling his hair and fixing
his eyes on nothingness. Then a smile
| daWned on his features. His eyes
beamed. mile green!" he exclaimed.
That's the thing! Knew it would
come to mind if I thought long
enough. That's one Of the fashionable
colors, isn't it," just a shade of hest
fancy creeping into his voice
On being assured that Nile green
was, indeed an eminently fashionable
tint of the day the governor proceeded
with growing confidence.
"How's it trimmed? Well, now
suppose with the usual furbelows-
what do they put on women's dresses
nowadays? Ruffies? Possibly
''Plaitings? Hm-can's say for sure
but reckon that's right. Do all dresses
have plaits?'
"Lace?" The governor fairly radi-
ated with intelligence.
Il should think SO! Why, it's-it's
got lace train!"

doesn't suffice; dozen yards hardly
makes any showing. At least twice
that quantity of material goes into
some of the pompoms and rosettes
which ornament these hats. Tuscan
braid or Tuscan net seems to be the
favorite foundation upon which the
ever-present rosette is placed. Under
meath the Tuscan braid, Of course, is
the substructure-the little French
frame.
Sometimes the Tuscan braid is used
alone; sometimes the hat is built Of
alternate layers of tulle, and the straw
and when this happens the milliner
gets in her work The tUlle is cut bias
and sewed together to form folds, or it
is tucked and sewed together to form
ruches or plumes. Some of the hats
are made Of plateaus Of maine APP
pliqued with narrow ribbon, or Of ma
line or chiffon appliqued with broad
bands of straw, or Of a lOose-meshed
fabric composed entirely Of the straw.
The dip toque which is worn down
over the forehead, and the pOmpadOur
t0que, which is worn back of the POM
padour, are both much in evidence.
A modification of the rough rider hat
is among the new shapes. One OF these
hats is in fine white Milan straw IL
has deep permanent dent down the
middle of the crown, and a broad bMm,
turned up at the right side. Long
plumes of yellow. and white chiffon,
and a ietted plume over the SIDE Win
a drapery of lace over the brim, form
the trimming.
There is but little change in the col
ors used, said this milliner. PasCel
shades are shown, and are gracefully
combined on some Of the hats. But
in the majority of them the tendency
seems to be toward the use of one color
only. Occasionally an effective con-
trast is produced by the use OF flowers.
A picturesque GainsbOrOugh hat has a
crown of Jet and Tuscan straw over
pink. Pink chiffon draped with irish
DOlllL
bunch of pastel pink peoples, mixed
with aigrettes, forms the trimming.
This Gainsborough hat is one OF the
few that can boast of aigrettes. Wheth-
er the Audubonites have accomplished
this or whether the fashion has died
out is not known.
The ribbon that appears on the hats
there is very little of it used, by the
way-is of very soft finished taffeta. A
large Spanish turban of the dip variety
shows an effective combination OF tur-
quoise tan and pink taffeta IN the
rOsettes with which it is trimmed. A
pompadour toque of Tuscan net is
simply trimmed with large soft
rosette of pale yellow tulle and a fold
or two of black velvet ribbon-but the
simplicity is in effect only-there
are 25 yards of tulle in that simple
rosette.
Another simple hat is Of the Spanish
turban variety 1t is made OF closely
overlapping folds of black maine, and
is finished at the side with rosette OF
the same material. This hat will sci
at retail for about $50.
Among the "ready-tO-Wear hats are
several notifications of the rough
rider hat. 1t is also rumored that th(
trig little sailor hat is to come PACE
into popularity next summer.

of suspicion to his fellows" a condi-
ton of affairs which would be hailed
with delight by the feminine pOpula-
ton, did it exist among more civilized
communities and this announcement
Mrs. Deyereux will tend to pro-
duce favorable sentiment on the part
of most ladies toward the marrying
TTansvaalers.
Mrs DeVereux points out, however,
that the element of romance does not
enter into consideration in TransvaaI
courtships, for the beers are a practi-
cal people, in whom contact with gold
mining has developed an inordinate at
lection for the precious metal The
daughter Of an official who has en-
riched himself by despoiling the
despised outlander has no lack OF
suitors, nor she who exhibits those
qualities that would make an ideal gen.
eral servant. If the first is not avail
able the second is certain to be. To
marry for love is to the TransvaaIer
simply a pernicious habit characteris-
tic of the ROoinek, which, being inter
preted, is the Englishman." IAN inor-
dinate affection for the precious met
al is, of course, peculiar to boer
suitors. Cultured Englishmen and
Americans never go hunting for heir
esses. In fact, they would scorn to
marry a woman for her money. Gull
tIIrs4 and civilization If ic 1znn
destroy this ''inOrdinate affection for
the precious metal" England, which
is one of the leaders of civilization, as
sures the world that her attack on the
! Transvaal is not influenced in the
| slightest degree by the fact that there
is large quantity of this precious
metal in Uncle Kruger's territory, but
wholly by a noble and generous desire
to vindicate and uphold the rights of
man just as we are killing the savage
FilipinOs for the advancement of relig-
ion and virtue, without any thought
of commercial gain.
But the boer woman is not only ig-
norant and Unlocking, but she is so
lacking in proper spirit and intelli-
gence as Ito accept her fate, wher
welded with much OF the stoicism
characteristic of the Indian squaw." She
actually has so little idea of the true
mission of a married woman as tt
''cOOk and sew" and does not hesitate
to help her husband in out-of-door du-
| ties too IF she had 9ny idea of civ.
ilizatiOn and culture, she would rebe1
against sewing and cooking and insis
either on going to balls in decOllete
costumes, O. on taking the lecture
platform and instructing the world o.
the rights of women. But she stupid
ly and savagely stands by her husband
in war as we'll as in peace. During
the innumerable fights between the
beers and the natives" says Mrs. Dew
ereUX, "the bOer women frequently
stood behind the wagons supplying
their husbands and sons with ammuni
ton and provender, and during the
present hostilities their presence has
more than once been detected in Of
near the field of battle" Among civil
lied women such courage and devotion
would be called heroic, but in tn,
beers it is a sign of shocking lack 0
} culture and good breeding.

On investigation it developed that
Cornish had received the brOmO settler
in a package containing also a silver
bottle holder, and, after exhibiting
both at the club as what was regarded
as an anonymous Christmas present
from a joking friend, took them home.
He saved the outer covering, with the
idea, he has testified, of possibly later
learning the identity of the strange
handwriting on the package.
With this handwriting and the bot
tie holder the police went to work, on
the theory that the poison had been
meant for Cornish. They learned that
Cornish had had enemies in his own
club, and directed their energies
thither.
Roland B. Molineux had resigned
from the club year or so before, be-
cause of quarrel with Cornish, for
which the club refused to discipline the
latter. It has been said that Cornish
had called Molineux a vile name.
From the testimony of Cornish, Mol
ineuX and others, at the coroner's in
quest into Mrs. Adams death, Feb. 10,
1899, and from the clues and opinions
OF detectives under handwriting ex-
perts, the prosecution secured enough
circumstantial evidence against Mol
ineux to secure his arrest Feb. II and
his indictment in March This in
dictment was subsequently quashed by
the court, but he was reindicted the
following day.
Suspicion had meanwhile been
aroused over the death of Henry c.
Barnet at the Knickerbocker Athletic
club. Barnet had been an intimate
friend of Molineux's. He died in Novem-
Der 1898, after a short illness. His
doctor ascribed his death to diphtheria,
but an autopsy showed traces of cyan

to assume a political aspect involving
high officials, but investigation along
this line was most cleverly warded off
MolineuX was convicted chiefly by the
evidence of writing experts.

pitiful appeal through Wheeling pa
per, in which he admits he refused to
take charge of the poor tramp, is a
fair representation of how much he
knows Of the duty of his Office. The
only construction that can be placed
upon his conduct is that he has no
