WASHINGTON. March 2.-The presi-

To the Senate and House Of Represeu-
tatives Since the evacuation of Puerto
Rico by the Spanish forces on the 18th
day of October 1898, the United States
has collected on products coming from
that island to the ports of the United
States the duties fixed by o the Dingley
will continue to collect under said law
until congress shall otherwise direct. AL
though l had the power, and having in
mind the best interests of the people of
the island used it, to modify duties on
goods and products entering into Puerto
Rico, l did not have the power to remit
or modify duties on Puerto Rican prod
ucts coming into the United States In
view Of the pressing necessity for imme-
date revenue in Puerto Rico for con-
Quoting the government there, and for
the extension of public education, and In
view also of the provisional legislation
just inaugurated by the house of repre-
SentatiVeS, and for the purpose of MAX

THREE SOUTHERN
GIRLS UP
NORTH,
THE BEAUTIFUL LANGHORNE SIS
TIERS, AND HOW THEY HAVE
FARED IN BOSTON AND
NEW YORK.

Three girls came riding up out of the
south!
That sounds too much like Kingsley's
sad song of Three Fishers" And this
isn't a sad song at all, though it must
be admitted thai men worked for them
and women wept at sight of them.
But those three girls We're beautiful!
Nobody knows, in the chronology of a
properly introduced family, which is the
eldest for, after the introduction, all are
merged together in the general classitica-
ton of daughters that are out" But
there were Elizabeth, Irene, Mamie and
Phyllis. And they were all L~anghorne
girls, of Albernarle count, Virginia, and
all We're the prettiest types OF pretty girls
that the north a seen in many a day.
Mrs. MOncure Perkins never got north.
She married a Richmond nan n now
lives there in belledom. But Mamie"
got as far toward the pole as Boston,
where she was grabbed up into matri-
mony by MIR. Robert Shaw. we'll known
in club and social circles at the Hub.
Everybody wondered why that ven
Grated artist, Charles Dana Gibson, in
sisted upon spending all his vacations
in the south, even his midsummer ones,
and everybody wondered where he got
his girl and whence came his wom-
anly ideal, anyway.
But it was all explained one day when
invitations wer ISSUED for a Richmond
wedding and when Mr.. Gibson, in a
blushing little note, asked Richmond
Harding Davis and a few other young
men to go down and be best men and
ushers, etc, He was to marry Irene
Langhorne, the queenly southern beauty,
the handsomest NM the most queenly
handsome-gir Of all the beautiful south.
1t was whispered at that time that
Miss Langhorne had the tiniest foot that
ever trod the Blu Grass; that she could
not, in fact, walk much or far. for those
little feet. And it was known that she
had the tallest, most commanding figure
seen in many a day. With tiny tapering
waist, full figure, splendid length from
the hips down, she made an ideal model,
though is doubtful if she ever posed and
with that face and hair and voice she
became sim ply irresistible as a compan-
ion. Yes, Gibson was in luck. His
friends declared that with Miss Lang
horne as a home model. for life, he ought
to go on and on improving, world without
end-and subsequent events proved the
prophesy correct to date.

It was discovered that Mrs. Gibson could

FIRST GLIMPSE OF THE NEW
SHIRT WAIST.

The summer shirt waist is here.

eyes as she handles the shapely fronts
and touches the curve of the sleeve.
1t is only a short time before the
shirt waist will be worn again. Easter
brings it out as surely as 1t brings out
the spring hat; and OF late years the
shirt waist has been as much a feature
of Easter week as any Of the other
spring fashions.
The modistes who first fought the
shirt waist have given up battling it.. and
have resigned themselves to the inevi-
table. It's comfort was such that all wOm-
en- wanted it, and were not happy until
they got it. Women. thick and thin, long
and short, women old and young, all
succumbed to the comfort of the shirt
waist.
While certain general features remain
the same year after year, others change
so that the shirt waist Of last summer
will hardly do duty another year. You

that many women make it a charitable
practice to bestow the summers shirt
waist upon the poor in the fall, trusting
to spring n the new styles for fresh
ones.
THE. COMING COST.
In THE economy of the short waist, or
shirt" there is nothing to be said by
way Of argument. While not cheap at
first, it must be laundered so many times
that it's price rises as the season ad-
vances. On the other hand if a woman
wants to look fresh and neat, and to be
as neat as she looks, nothing will suit
her as well as the wash waist.
