A Woman Architect.

AT Bistritz, in Siebenburgen, the
building of a large residence FOR the
official forest commissioners has been
confided by the Austrian Government
to lady. Frauiein ErillN Paulas,
who is thus honored, obtained last
winter her diploma as architect, and
has been chosen from many candi-
dates for this important work. She
commenced at seventeen the study Of
architectural drawing then passed the
masons' examination with success at
Klausenburg, and gained her diploma
as architect last winter at Budapest.
She has encountered much opposition
and persecution in her profession. A
connected with the build
ing trade actually petitioned the Min
lister for Public Works to prohibit Frau
lein Paulas from entering herself for
the examination. This petition re-
mained unnoticed and she passed
with unusual brilliancy. Twenty
buildings have already been lntrusted
to her, and she has in every case af-
forded satisfaction to her employers.
On the completion Of the Bistritz Gov
ernment house, it is the intention OF
Fraulein Paulas to enlarge her expe-
rience by travelling in the interests Of
her profession in foreign countries.

Sleeves are a trihe larger than they
were last season.
Scarlet CATERS for gOlhng are shown,
but find few wearers.
Machine stitching is even more in
evidence than It was last season.
French batiste in black and trimmed
with lace makes a fashionable corset.
Pretty little fancy jackets with
sleeves Of all kinds Of heavy laces in
cream or in dull colors.
Dame Fashion demands trimmed
sleeves. But the trimming should be
be allowed to increase the size of the
sleeve.
The newes: sleeve for a house re-
ception gown reaches barely to the ell
bow and it is not relieved by a ruflc
but is finished by slight drapcry or O.
band.
Tailor gowns of black-faced cloth
with bright-colored cloth boleros.
braided so closely with black that the
color back of the arabesQues in SOU
tache is only just visible, are very pop
ular this season, and red is one of the
favored shades used for the jacket.
East Indian silk handkerchiefs are
being utilized by fashionable women
as shirt waists, and are exceedingly
bright and effective. They are made
with narrow vest and collar of solid
color, frequently black, or it may be of
the tint predomlnating in the handker-
chief.
Gold. at least, a touch of it, is a fea-
ture of the smartest models. Narrow
gold braid frames tucked wastcoats
Of mousseline de sole. Again, wide
belts of cloth encircle slender waists,
and gold buttons and buckles enrich
blouses. Satins are seen embroidered
with gold knots and woven with gold
dots
As many cloth jackets and jacket
bodices are made without collars as
with them. Sometimes the neck Is
shaped I'm a short point at the centre
back and then is open a little way
down the front to show the vest or
waistcOat. In some cloth jackets the
edges are bound in Persian lamb, with
perhaps a fine thread Of gold at tho
edge Of the binding.

STOOD BY HIS BARGAIN.
The Chariot Seemed Bit Candy, But he
Was willing to Use II.

'Ifs hard life," declared the old
circus man, according to the Detroit
Free Press, "and 1 always say at the
close of every season that l am
through with it. But there is some
thing in the life, the smell of the saw
dust ring, the glitter and noise, the
changing scene that appeals to n man
who has once been in the business, and
it is seldom that one leaves the life
until death steps in. There is a good
deal of humor in the business, too, as
we are brought into contact with all
sorts and conditions of men.
Il am reminded of a funny thing
that happened to me good many
years ago when such thing as moving
a circus by rail was not thought of
1t was part of my work at that time
to drive our great $4,000 chariot, not
only in the parade, but between towns
as well. What little sleep got L had
to catch here and there on my seat
while we were on our way to another
town. One night my doze turned into
a sound sleep, and when 1 awoke dis
covered that the team, left without
driver, had turned into a farmyard
and come to a stop before g haystack,
where they were quietly eating. While
was rubbing my eyes and trying to
grasp the situation the old man who
owned the hay came out where l was
and walked around the chariot and
looked it over with a critical eye.
"'Well, said l, with a grin, what
do you think of itP
"'Gosh,' said he, 'ain't hit jes'
trihe bit gaudyY
"'Well, what do you eXpect| said
7, Indignantly, at this implied refec-
ton upon the great moral show that
l represented.
"'Well, l suppose hit is all right.
answered the old man, doubtfully, as
lie looked it over once more. 1 or
dered hit, and I'll stand by my bar
gain. Hit seems ter me that hit is
jes' a bit loud. But 1 suppose l amt
used to city ways
1T was now my turn to be surprised,
and l was about to ask him what he
was driving at, when he added that l
might as wen unhitch, as the funeral
wouldn't be until two in the after
noon.
"Then there were explanations all
around. 1t seems that the old mans
wife had died, and he had sent to the
nearest city for a funeral car, and had
mistaken our great $4,000 chariot for
it. There had been a good deal of
rivalry in the neighbornood in regard
to funerals, and the cd man had made
up his mind to outshlne them ALL and
think he was disappointed in the end
when he discovered that he had been
mistaken"

Cuban EnglIsh.

Many of the visiting Cuban teachers
during their stay in this country
picked up a few words and phrases Of
English, the meaning of which they
hardly understood. Near the Univer-
slty Of Pennsylvania a coal cart driy-
er, who was standing beside his team,
started a conversation with a stout
Cuban Senor, says the Philadelphia
Record.
80 you're a Cuban, are your he
asked.
Sure" was the rather slangy reply.
"You like this countryY
"All right"
"Were you born in Cuba?'
"Sure."
"Iow old are your"
GAN right"
This ended the conversation, as the
coalcart driver apparently felt that
his well-meant efforts were not ade-
quately rewarded.

where only blue flowers are cultivated
and watched with most tender care.
This garden occupies a sunny nook
of the private corridor during inclem-
ent weather. One of the great south
ern windows Of the Executive man
sion lights this pleasant retreat dur
ing the months when the northern
blasts overcome the genial snn. Dur
ing the balmy days Of spring, summer
and autumn these flowers are trans
planted to the gallery in front Of the
great bow window which opens on the
spreading lawns and fountains stretch
ing down toward the Washington
Monument Fragrant heliotropes and
rich, dark violets are the favorites. An.
other modest pOsy which basks in the
smiles Of her favor is the blue clover
blossom.
Mrs, Mckinley disljles yellow as
cordially as she admires the heavenly
tints. Once upon a time, the beds be-
low the dining-room were gorgeous
with heavy-headed Marechal Mel
roses and double marigolds. Now
these languorous beauties are banished
to more distant fields, and tiny violets,
modest heliotropes and waving blue
bells queen it without rivalry in the
little garaden which Mrs. Mckinley
waters and cares for unfailingly each
day.-Success.

Vienna is excited over great jewel
rObberies that have deprived some Of
her finest danes of their gems Not
long ago the wife of a nobleman
noticed while at a ball that her dia-
monds did not sparkle with all the
Jrilliancy their cost demanded, and,
looking closely at them, she discovered
that they were not diamonds at all,
but paste gems Of the cheapest kind.
She made a great outcry, and all the
other women instinctively looked at
their jewels. The outcries became
general It seems that all the women
who live in the same quarter Of the
city discovered that their jewels had
been taken, and had been replaced by
cheap limitations. The work Is sup
posed to have been done during the
summer months.

1t is a great pity that every attempt
to propagate the blue joint grass OF
the Western prairies is a total failure.
Could it be placed on the list Of tame
grasses 1t would be a most valuable
addition. 1t will soon disappear entire.
ly from the prairie section of the West,
being unable to hold its own with the
blue grass in the pastures and mead.
