are all that is necessary effectually to
bring the costume up to present require
ments. 1t is well worth while (and al
most always necessary to alter sleeves
the present season make this an easy
operation, since an introduced cuff or
puff OF velvet or of panne is one of the
autumn gowns. Revers or collar may be
changed. renewed, or altered by addi-
tional trimming.
Thus, a garment which last year was
distinguished by plain velvet revers may
advanta geously discard these in favor of
stitched cloth or silk trimmings: or they
may be outlined with gimp or cloth
bands. The mere renewing of buttons
on a short jacket will often give I'M
expected air of style to the garment.
But no change should be made hurried
ly, nor without a study of the incoming
fashions in small dress trimmings. Hap
hazard renovating is always disastrous,
and hasty shopping often results in
season OF repentance and disSa tiSfaction.

Smartening the Taffeta.
The taffeta, which was so smart in its
prime, now shows signs of fatigue. 1t
can be "tided over by embellishing it
with a bolero of black lace, which will
refresh the bodice With or without
sleeves the bolero is worn You can
make it of guipure or chantiIly lace.
Choose a wide-edge lace if you do not
find the bolero ready made in a style
you like. This SmartenS a bodice and
enables it to pass muster.
Sweet Bags For Pertaining Linen.
There is nothing sweeter than laven-
der seeds and sticks wherewith to per-
fume linen cupboards, but when laven-
der is scarce it is worth while to remem-
Der that sweet bags" for linen may be
composed, according to the taste of the
person using them, of any mixtures of
the following articles: Flowers, dried
and pounded; powdered cloves, mace.
nutmeg and cinnamon; leaves, dried
and powdered, of mint balm, southern
wood, ground ivy. laurel, hyssop, sweet
marjoran, rhodium, sandalwood and
rosewood; roots of angelica and orris;
all the fragrant balsams, ambergris and
musk.

CoURTsHIP SUNDAYS.

The Dutch November, like our
own June, is the month of marriages,
but the good people of Holland are
more businesslike in these matters
than Americans are, and it is the
usual thing with them to compress
matchmaking in all its branches with.
in this single month. The four Sun
days of November mark the four
stages of the courtship, and each is
known by its individual name, as
Review" Decision, Purchase, /"
and Possession Sunday.
On Review Sunday in every vii
lage, the whole population linger after
church while the young people pa
rade about, youths and maidens gaz-
ing at each other, but shyly forbear
ing TO speak.
Decision Sunday is long step for
ward. After the service each bache-
lor approaches the maiden of his
choice with ceremonious bow. He
must be shrewd, for from her manner
of responding he is to judge whether
it is the part of wisdom or of danger
to make further advances.
If the test of Decision Sunday is
safely passed the sutton waits week,
and upon Purchasing Sunday calls
upon the parents of his beloved.
With their approval, he may appear
on Possession Sunday as a prospec
tive bridegroom.
November is chosen as the fttest
month of the year because the hard
est work of farming is over, and the
time of gathering harvest
is the merriest season of all. Posi-
bly,, also, the Dutch lords of creation
are not averse to having wife to cook
for them, and make them comfortable
during the long winter.

LADY CURZON'S POWER.

1t is doubtful whether many Ameri-
cans realize the extent of viceroy's
power, the prestige which accompan-
les the place, the pomp, parade, and
ceremony with which it is accom-
panied, or the splendor of the official
residences and retinue which help to
support it's impr6ssiveness. There is
so much of very hard work con-
nected with the Office, and the swarm
ing millions of Indian subjects have
of late been so comparatively placid
and content under British rule, that
the tendency of recent viceroys has
been to shear the post of much of it's
former splendor Less and less has
been thought of the value of pomp and
pageantry in impressing the native
mind; and, weighed down by the daily
burden of routine toll and anxious
responsibility, the later representa-
tives of the crown have been content
to become very dull and prosaic char
acters, as compared with the glitter
ing and gorgeous figures cut by the
old East India governors and the
earlier viceroys, whose regal pro-
crosses through the empire were ar
ranged to surprise even Oriental expec-
tatiOn.-Harper's Weekly.

CAPTURED FROM A FENCE.

Were 1t not ungracious, one might
poke little fun at the seventeenth
Indiana regiment, which has now.
with great chivalry and magnanim-
ity," returned battle flag taken
during the civil war from the Texas
rangers, inasmuch as the said fac was
not captured in a battle, but lifted
from a fence, where the Rangers had
hung it out to dry. 1t seems that the
RAJ. gers found it necessary to breal,
camp suddenly and move forward hur-
riedIy, and SO left this particular han
ner behind, where it fell into the hands
81 the Seventeenth Indiana as thew
came up in the vanguard of the army
which the Rangers thought best tn
avoid at that particular time. Tbouob
the capture of the flag slightly sno-
gests the raid of clothes line in a
back yard, its return to the original
owners after hanging for thirtv-odd
years on the walls of the hoosier cant
tol means just as much as if II had
been in a gallant charge. No doubt
there were plenty of brave men in the
seventeenth Indiana who upon Other
occasions Joined in more exciting can
lures, and their representatives have
now shown a commendable spirit Of
good will. During the appronriata
ceremonies incident to the recention
of the flag the governor and sto+a
officials OF Texas showed good taste in
not recalling the circumstances of its
capture.-Macon Telegraph. "

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator CAT
ferry of Louisiana, in the dis
cussion of the Philippine question
broke new ground in developing his
position as an anti-eXpansionist. In
response to questions as to what in the
present circumstances he would do
with the Filipinos, he said with char
acteristic courage of conviction: Turn
them loose as soon as we can get rid Of
them. That would be better for them
and infinitely better for US" Senator
Cafferys argument was mainly dis
cussion of constitutional questions.
He maintained that the constitution
extends absolutely over the Filipinos
and that they are entitled to all the
rights and privileges of citizens of the
United States guaranteed by the con-
stitution. The senate in executive ses-
sion ratified the Hague peace treaty
and also the extradition treaty with
the Argentine Republic.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Democrats of
ne house continued their assaults up
on the Philippine policy of the admin
istration during the general debate
upon the diplomatic consular appro-
priation bill. Two speeches were
made by democratic members Of
the foreign affairs committee, Mr..
Dinsmore of Arkansas and Mr.. Clark
of Missouri opposing retention of the
islands. The speech of Mr.. Clark,
which lasted almost two hours, was a
notable effort replete with unique cpl
grams and attracted much attention.
No republican spoke in defense OF the
administration policy. Mr.. Sibley of
Pennsylvania. who was elected as a
democrat. was goaded into the an
nouncement that the democrats could
consider his seat constructively on the
republican side. Before the debate
began an effort was made to pass the
