One called ''lichen" was pretty. The
costume was intended to represent the
deep woods, and the dress was short
wasted and had narrow skirt reach
ing to just above the ankles. This was
made of wood brown cashmere. 1t re-
quires some soft and lusterless stuff.
Around the medium low neck was
roll Of moss, and long sort of boa
was made of the same, carried loosely
over the bare arms. A little chain held
three small red toadstools as pendants
at the throat. A long, close "brownie"
hood had cape portion hanging down
on the neck. This was cut round to fit
the head, with the point left off, and
had n row Of moss along the front and
standing on the top about 21a inches
high. Brown slippers and white stock
ings completed the costume.
Another pretty costume is called Pier.
rette. The short dress is of black silk,
with white pompons set at intervals
around the bottom. Black stockings
and slippers with white pompons, but
smaller; white sash tied behind, long
white gloves, and an enormous white
muff and white peaked hat with POM
pons made this costume perfect after
its kind.
There are always the usual butterfly,
flower girl, daughter of the regiment,
Marguerite and Juliet, but these are
all old-very old. New is a costume
for a grand and statuesque woman
called the recessional. The front of
the skirt is of orange velvet, with a
conventional applique of purple and
green satin in form of iris. with the
leaves and roots intwined in ara
besques. This pattern reaches up quite
to the waist line. The orange velvet is
sewed to a SO called waist of purple
velvet high on the bust, like empire
gowns, the joining being under silver
band, set with three immense gold Or
naments. The sleeve to the elbow was
tight, and from there was a square
open sleeve Of pale white and lilac
cheney silk in iris design. This hung
TO the feet. At the opening there was
another gold ornament. The back was
of the cheney design and laid in mas
sive folds. There was a gold fillet
around the hair, and from this hung
two elaborate golden ornaments. An
Easter lily is to be carried to complete
this. Tie idea could be developed in
much cheaper materials.

TEACHERS
Claim Their Rights Are
Being TrampIed On.
They Object to Teaching on Washing
tons Birthday-A Holiday.

s..
The teachers of the public schools
feel that the Board of Education is
imposing upon them and their rights,
by asking them to teach on Washing
toms birthday. qc
1t is a rule of sthe Board that when
national holiday falls on Thursday,
that day and next day Friday should
be holidays, and when the teachers
are hired it is understood and in their
contract that their salary shall be
just the same for holidays as any 9th
er day. But now the Board has asked
the teachers to teach on Thursday
February %, which also means that
thy will be supposed to teach the next
day so that there will be no holiday
All the teachers are opposed to this
procedure and the outcome is looked
for with a great deal of interest. The
matter was discussed at the round
table last night but nothing definite
was decided, If the teachers stand to-
gether and hold the Board 10 the con-
tract they will have their holiday the
same as before.

TRICKS OF FASHION.
Sleeves That Hide the Arms and
show the Shoulders,
Especial correspondence.l

kt'Pooiti Soii
NEW York, Jan. 2e.-Of all the silly
fashions or fads think the very worst
is the way some sleeves are arranged
now. They are made SO long as to
reach to the fingers, and at the top
they look as II they had come unsewed,
for they are left to fall down to below
the round of the shoulder, where they
hang and infict needless distress up
on the beholder, who is in constant
fear of seeing them fall completely off.
They also make the arm look prefer
naturally long. OF course this peculiar
sleeve was invented for purpose, and
that is to bring out the delicate lines
of the fair white shoulder and to hide
the fact that the lines In the arm below
1t are too thin and undeveloped. There
is a band or strap that performs the
Office of real sleeve in holding up the
waist. This is generally very ornate,
trimmed with bows, feathers, fringe,
fur, flowers, lace and don't know
what else. Sometimes they are made
simply of pun Of tplle over the shoul-
der. In any case, the plan Is the same.
Often there is a wreath of artificial
flowers around the neck, but ore Of

THE SAME OLD QUESTION.
Even Cato and Sctpio Ciscussed
when the Centuries Began.

Even Cato and Scspio CiHcussed
When the Centuries Began.
In the years Geo and COL A. U. c., or
Anno Urbis Condita--that is, after the
building Of Rome, or 154 and 1853 B.
C.-the question was discussed in
Rome whether 600 or 601 was the be-
ginning of the seventh century after
the founding Of Rome.
While as. in our days, the standing
question in the capital of the Romans
was "Quid novi eI African CWhat ia
the news from AfricaO a third war
with the republic OF Carthage seeming
imminent, Cato the elder, Sclpio the
younger and other prominent men of
the day found time for the discussion
Of the century question and disagreed.
Some held that 600, others that COL,
was the first year OF the new century
Of old Rome.
So Calpurnius Piso. the Roman an
nalist, tells us in his records. He after
ward, in 14S b. c., commanded the
Roman legions In Africa against Car
tbage, which two years later succumb-
ed to Scipio Africanus, by whom it
was destroyed.
No doubt hardly century passed
after the times of Charles the Great
(Charlemagne) In which the centurial
commencement problem did not agitate
the minds. This was especially the
case in Italy in the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries.
In the year 1900 there was such a
hot discussion on the question In Ger
many that medal was struck in com.
memoration Of 1t, with the German in
scription which in English version is:
"Oh, wonder of wonders! Man counts
1000. and still he ponders how old he
may be-"
Toward the end of 100 the same dis.
pute arose in the fatherland, and the
discussion was especially hot ut Wei.
