clude all dust and protect the gown
are much worn both for travelling and
driving and serve practical end
at the same time that are essentially
smart. Taffeta. gloria, pongee and
Slcilian are all in vogue and all cor
rect. but taffeta is regarded rs most
fashionable and is preferred in cadet
md old blue for automobiling, In
black. grays and tans for wear in rail-
way cars and steamers. The May

lutely comfortable as well as cut after
the latest mode. The original is Of
black taffeta with collar. revers and
cuffs OF cream Cluny lace and black
velvet ribbon. but any of the materials
mentioned can be substituted. and
tucked batiste makes equally effective
accessories. The back of the coat is
cut into deep curved yoke below
which the skirt portion falls in In.
veTted pleats that mean abundant ful.
ness and graceful folds. The fronts
include deep-ftted portions that are
turned back to form revers. and which
with the curved back give a bolero
suggestion. Below them the skirt is
laid In tucks. or pleats, that are
stitched for part of their length. At
the neck is a high flaring collar and
the sleeves are In bishop style with
stylish turnover cuffs.

Dainty frocks are made with circu-
lar founces or several rufiies edged
with narrow lace and with the blouses
finished either with a wide collar or
fichu edged with lace. Such simple
frocks are worn with sashes of taffeta
made Of silk OF the color dominating In
the gowns or with black velvet sashes,
which add a contrasting note which Is

A Novel Skirt

Something novel in the way Of
skirt has appeared. 1t is made OF
three shaped pieces attached one to
another with an entreduex of en-
broidery, the whole falling free over
the foundation. The upper part Of the
skirt Is a fitted yoke, and these ruff
fes grow fuller toward the bottom,
giving a most graceful flare.

Fasclnating NiglItgowns.

The most fascinating nightgowns are
either In the empire or bolero form.
The bolero is in exquisite hand-em-
broidery or lace. or 1t may be made Of
alternate runs of embroidery insertion
and lace. These gowns are trimmed
at the hem with lace-edged frills and
are really sufficient dress for a negli-
gee wrapper.

quite so wide. There Is a variety In
the type Of lattice. Sometimes IL Is
the regular pattern Of dlamond-shaped
openings between the rhomeboids OF
linen. Again one sees an upper edge
or perfectly straight band OF white
linen running around the skirt above
the hem, and below IL a latticework OF
white bands ending with irregular
points, for there Is no straight band
below to inclOse the lattice. Another
effect is produced by the zlgzags of lin
en- bands.

The wife Of a clever detective is said
to have powers nearly equal to those
possessed by her husband. Not long
ago she began to notice that dimes and
quarters were daily disappearing as if
by magic from the "change purse in

chases. She was inclined to suspect
of her two maids, a sullen Irish

CHINESE PEANUTS.

They Are an American Product, but
Receive Oriental Treatment.
The trans-American railways have
their agents in all parts of the world
commercial agents, Industrial agents,
tourist agents, livestock agents, car
service agents, and Oriental agents, as
well as the regular assortment and va
riety of freight and passenger agents.
The Oriental agent of the Great North
ern Railway in this city is MOy WI
Yen, a highly interesting Chinaman,
who carries in his pockets a handful
of Chinese peanuts with which, from
time to time, he regales his friends. In
the midst of business he suddenly con-
ceals his hand beneath his blouse and
asks, "Will you try a Chinese peanut?7

U-naccounted for, the hydraulic action
of Lake Michigan year after year bears
a burden Of sane and silt from the
Michigan shore and faithfully deposits
1t on the Illinois shore. This operation
of the lake Is especially noticeable in
its southern portion about Chicago. The
waves and current bring the sand and
cast it up ashore. Drying, it is blown
inland, raising the level above the sur
face of the lake. This operation has
been going on for centuries, and miles
Inland from the present Illinois shore
line the land bears evidence of having
been built in this manner by the tire
less wave action of Lake Michigan.
Perhaps at one time the waters of the
lake extended in a bullying line nearly
to the present line of the Desplaines
River. The shore of Michigan oppo-
site Chicago is now becoming concave
against a counterpart %convexity on the
Illinois side. But for this action of the
lake Chicago shore protection would be
much more difficult to accomplish than
4 Is under existing circumstances.
The present generation naturally does
not feel great concern about the lake
procedure. But in reality changes are
now going on which If continued will
some day have extraordinary effects on
the southern end of Lake Michigan. All
the sand that is being torn out Of the
Michigan shore is not being thrown
upon the Illinois shore. Most of it is
precipltated on the bottom of the lake,
especially that portion of the lake lying
south of the latitude of Chicago. That

ton Of the lakes action indefinitely
prolonged, will become dry land. per-
haps i~nterspersed with small lakes,
swamps, and sand dunes, after the
present pattern of northern Indiana
and the Calumet region of Illinois.
When that time arrives Illinois and
Michigan will have come together in
midlake and will have shut Indiana out
from Lake Michigan altogether. In fact,
that portion of Indiana now submerged
is small and is rapidly growing smaller
and shallower. Without taking thought
people regard Illinois territory as ter
minating at the lake shore and the ter
ritory of Michigan and Indiana doing
similarly. On the other hand, Illinois
and Michigan meet in the middle Of
Lake Michigan-even If their boundary
line is a trihe under water. Indiana
runs northward into the lake to the
southern boundary of Lake Michigan,
while the western boundary of Indiana
runs northward until 1t intersects the
southern boundary line of Michigan.
As a result of this the northwest and
west boundary lines of Indiana cut off
but a small portion of Lake Michigan.
North of the Indiana line Illinois and
Michigan come together in midlake.
The fact is that the Illinois shore is
growing and the Michigan shore is re-
ceding, and slowly the middle of the
lake moves year after year to the east

uois' proft.-Chicago Tribune.

END OF FAMOUS HosTELRY.
Hotel Where Parnei1 Drew UP Irish
Camp IGN Plans.

Hotel Where Pdrnei1 Drew Up Irish
Camp ign Plans.
MOrrisOn's Hotel, one Of the old land
marks of Dublin, is being RACED to the,
ground to afford a site for offices for an
insurance company. The building has
historic associations for Irishmen, and
was once among the best p%atronized
and most popular hotels in Dublin. 1t
was famous as ParnelIs resort.
1t was originally n Of the town
houses of the Fitzgerald family. who
owned q great deal of property in the
vicinity, including the famous Lelnster
house. over the door of the hotel at
the present day are the Fitzgerald
arms, and in the supports are prom
inent figures of two monkeys, in COM
memoration of a striking family incl
dent.
When old Kilkee Castle, one Of the
seats of the Fitzgeralds, took fire, the
heir to the estate was saved by a mon
key, which took the infant in his arms
and clambered from point to point with
its precious burden, finally reaching the
ground with it in safety.
Parnell's first arrest was effected at
Morrison's Hotel on Oct. 10, 1881. Par
nell was thence taken to Kilmainham
jail, where he was confined as a "sus-
pect" until the following May. 1t was
Mt this hotel that Parnells friend, the
late DR.. j. e. Kenny, discovered Par
nells extraordinary superstition. Co
Ing into his writing-room one day. Par
nell saw a green cloth on the table. He
at one had it removed, and the same
evening he refused to enter another
room in the hotel in which three can
dies were burning. Three candlesticks
are supposed In the minds Of supersti-
tious people to mean death, and a green
tablecloth foretells disaster. Parnell
more than once said that the Irish
cause would never prosper until the
Irish people discarded green as their
national color for the older blue.
When in Dublin Parnell always
stayed at Morrison's up to the time of
his death. 1t was there he outlined
the national program and the agrarian
movements in Ireland.-London Mail.

looking aimlessly into the shop win

He Insists upon always having the
waiter must give his undivided atten-

waits on four tables at the same time.
After lunch Mr. Astor sits reading
the English and American papers. He

alone at a different place every night.
Then he walks the boulevards, generally

Mr.. Astor detests cheese and when
he finds it on his table he gets into a
fury. The waiter. who resents the beg

fails to carry the offending article to

Supreme Court seems to have come as
near as 1t is possible under the COnsti-
tuition to interpreting a national uni
form divorce law, by laying down a
national rule touching the validity of
divorces. The rule respects the rights
of the States to make their own mar
riage laws. but 1t compels the citizens
of the various States to respect the
laws of the commonwealth in which
they are living in marital relations,
and II prevents them from securing by
default valid divorces on grounds
which are not considered sufficient in
the States where the relations were
maintained. The court has decided III
three cases that a divorce to be valid
must be obtained In the State where
the matrimonial dOmicile of the parties
to 1t Is fixed, and hat both the parties
to It must have brought themselves
within the jurisdiction Of the courts of
the State. In the case Of Bell VS.. Bell,
the husband had obtained a temporary
residence In Pennsylvania md then Sc
cured a divorce from his wife on the
ground of desertion. When the wife
brought suit for divorce in New York
the husband set up the Pennsylvania
decree as defense. But the Supreme
Court has held hat as neither husband
nor wife had acquired a matrimonial
domicile In Pennsylvania, and that as
the wife had not been represented the
nnnncnlUonfn HaAsanA mao rAfA T., a.,

Atherton VS.. AthertOn. the couple had
married IN New York and had after

York, and he secured a divorce in Ken.
lucky on the ground Of desertlon and
set up the Kentucky decree as a de-
Tense to his wife's suit In New York
State. The New York courts held that
the Kentucky decree was invalid, but
the United Safes Supreme Court sus.
tains the Kentucky divorce, as the cou-
pie had a matrimonial domlcile In that
State. In the case Of Streitwolf VS..
Streitwolf there had been a separation
In New Jersey and the husband suisse
quently sold out his business and went
to North Dakota, remaining there
eighteen months, securing a voting
residence and serving ON the Cover
nor's stan as an aid. He secured a di
vorce in that State, serving the pa
pers on his wife by publication. but the
wife made no appearance in the Da-
kota court. The wife sued for divorce
In New Jersey after the husband re-
turned to the East, and he set up his
Western decree as defense. but the
New Jersey cOurts held that that de
cree was invalid and the Supreme
Court has sustained the State court.
The decision Ia these three cases seems
to mean that no divorce is valid unless
obtained in 4 State in which the hus-
band and wife have lived together. un-
less the wife or husband is represented
by counsel at the time OF the trial. The
wife may not leave her husband and
get a divorce from him in Sioux Falls.
for Instance. unless she has lived with
him in South Dakota, or unless he puts

A few days ago an old man and his
wife found themselves In IA big, lone

children there. and the wall OF the wind
at night sounded like the crying Of a

all the same. Lonesomel The last
child was gone, and there was nothing
more to do but finish out life according
to Gods plan. for the work was nearly
done. What a thing Is love for chill
dren! The lonely couple had reared
sixteen boys and girls and loved them
all. The last little stranger was as
welcome as the first darling that came
to put n glimpse Of heaven into a coun-
try home. They were grown up and
scattered. Some of them had children
Of their own. But back In the old
home there were hearts big enough for
more. The fountains OF love seldom
run dry. and the love for children is
almost universal. That is why "A grand
old nan and a grand old woman went
to an orphan asylum and asked for a
child-to keep, to cherish. to make their
own and to fill the void in their hearts
and drive the lonesome feeling from
the home that had sheltered sixteen.
Let's be glad that the child was given
to the old couple and that they are
happy again.

sci, which sailed seven months before
from san Francisco, entered the Mer-
