MR.. SIBLEY'S POSITION.

thought that in 1900 Mr.. SIbley should
be nominated for vice president.
Mr. Sibley was reelected TO the pres

the present session, he has made sev-
eral speeches which show that he rec
ognizes the fuullty Of further agita-

have been reached to the lumber busj-

prospect that causes no particular
alarm among business men. for, ac-
cording to Minneapolis reports, they
are confident that with the passing of

PARIS, Feb. 15.-One OF woman's hFst
duties is to look pretty and never before
has she had richer opportunities to do so,
for the shops are filled to overlooking with
materials for making all the fascinating
attributes to woman's charm in being
well dressed. Among the most recent tri-
r,mphs of the manufacturers art and fancy
are the dainty crepe de chimes. soft and
flowing in texture and exquisitely tinted
in the most delicate colorings and designs
the floral motif predominating. Being
semi-transparent. they require silk or
satin lining, which is generally chosen OF
a shade to match the decoration and diff
fcreut from the background, and another
reason for their popularity may lie in the
fact that they combine so well with any Of
the varieties Of beautiful hand or machine
made laces now so much in evidence.
The handsome creation OF Doucet. IL
Illustrated on this page, consists Of this
combination. There is a tight cfnging
skirt of rose-colored satin. cut in seven
cores. and with slight fare AM guilt

the back. The fashionable fullness IS sup
plied by a deep ruffle of dark grey Lux

lounce of pleated rose-colored tuile,
forming a rich foundation for the dainty
lace. The tunic Is OF cream colored crepe

fat book shows is that prosperity and fash
ion are making the silk dress and the silk
Innings far more popular than ever before.
while the imported WOODEN dress is actu-
ally less popular In spite Of good times.
In 1897 we bought between seven and
eight million dollars worth of silk dress
goods In foreign lands. In 1898 the amount
Jumped TO over ten millions and in 1899 to
thirteen millions. In other words. we spent
nearly double the amount for silk dresses
last year that We did two years before
and II may be interesting to know that
a good deal more than half of this fine APP
parel came directly from France, showing
that there is no decline in the popularity
of French styles. Woolen dress goods actu
ally fell of in 1899. our foreign bill in that
year being only 1896. 600. compared with
Sc. 036 GOO in 1898.
And then there is the matter of foreign
furs. another luxury which is now much
in favor. Back In 1897 we could AFFORD
only six million dollars worth, but in 1898
we bought nearly eight millions worth
and in 1899 nearly eleven millions worth

And in this connection. too, the dry fat

In walking one should endeayor to take
a long. smooth. gliding step rather than
short. choppy one. By the latter is meant
the hippety- hoppety. Little jerky walk
which many small women affect, and
which always suggests to the on-iooker
tight shoes. No woman who can put her
foot down comfortably and firmly will ever
walk ia this manner. and the firm, steady
walk. with its undulating glide, that Is as
different as possible from masculine
stride improves the whole appearance. To
walk well and properly one should trans
fer the weight of the body from one leg
tn the other as each is thrown forward in
taking step. This throwing Of the weight
is accompanied by graceful, scarcely per-
ceptible swaying of the body. The weight
of the body should come more on the ball
of the foot than on the heel. but the lat
ter should slightly touch the ground at
every step. Walking on the toes alone
gives O flnieky dancing sehoolmaster look
to the figure. The toes should be graceful
ly turned out at each step, and the leg
should swing loose from the hip.
