Short Bolero Coats.

All the new coat costumes for win
ter wear show the abbreviated bolerc
coat, but the prettiest have some fash
ion Of basque, either pointed, tabled
or breaking. up the plain edge In some
manner. Even the bolero which
reaches to the waist at the back runs
down into tabs or points in front, ano
the sack coat terminating on the hips
shows slightly elongated scallops at
the front.
Many boleros are single breasted,
but slope across and fasten with clasps
or a couple of fancy buttons on the
left side. Broad revers OF embroidered
cloth, silk appliqued with lace or Gov
cred with perforations Of cloth or vel
vet, are outlined with narrow borders
of fur, and these are smarter than re-
yers entirely Of fur.

Americas Grand Old Woman.

At the great bazar of the Woman
Suffrage Association, which was held
in Madison Square Garden, in New
York City, one OF the chief attractions
was the presence of Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton.
Sharp Of intellect, keen Of mind,
and impressive In speech as ever, Mrs,
Stanton is rounding out her long and
important life in a golden age Of frul'
ton and consummation. Debarred
now from public speaking, and from
more than occasional presence at gath
erings at which she was once the per
sonal leader and vivifying inspiration.
Mrs. Stanton still exerts O far-reach'
ing influence. From the big mahog.
any armchair in which her delightful
apartment overlooking Riverside Drive
and the Hudson beyond, she sits en-
throned, more commanding than many
a figure embodying the inheritance OF
dynasty, the venerable woman
watches the worlds events as they
pass, keeping q sharp eye on those
that relate to the efforts to which she
has given her life, and almost equally
interested in everything that pertains
to the development Of her race. She
often dictates strong, vigorous utter
ances for publication, and every day
her afternoons are spent with her Sec
retary, writing and answering letters
and. attending to the innumerable de-
tails Of a still active life.
One who meets Mrs. Stanton now,
with her eighty-fve years completed
few days ago, feels like paraphras-
ing Gladstone's title and calling her
the Grand Old Woman. Like Glad
stone, she has fought many battles,
scored victories and suffered some de-
feats. Like him, too, she has never
known when she was beaten, counting
successful opposition merely a tempo.
rary backset, to counteract which re-
newed effort must be made. Like,
Gladstone, too, physical disability has
not weakened close interest in public
affairs, nor, for single moment. made
her think that everything is not. worth
while. Rich in memories and retro
spect, it Is a privilege 20 have her
draw upon them in her listeners inter-
est. She has none of the garrulity OF
age. She will condense the struggle
of years in a phrase, though her eye
will kindle and her voice thrill over
the recollection of what the accom-.
plishing has cost her.-Harper's Ba.

Lemon Is one of the best mediuna

and orange wood sticks should be EN-
ployed for cleaning the skin beneath
the nails. Rough hands will be i'm
proved by being rubbed with soaped
nailbrush daily. Brittle nails need the
application of q stiff toilet cream

After the nails have had their daily

When these are used they should be

forget who it is, has given rein to his

There is no foundation whatever for
such a notion, though many persons

er parts. has nothing to do with the
objects sinking, for it is exerted on the
object, as well as on the water, thus
equalizing the conditions.
The reason why the object sinks to
the bottom is that the water is not
.compressible, at least it is so little SO
that its density at the bottom Of the
sea is only trifle greater than it is
ut the surface. The scientists tell us
that the water at the bottom is just
about as much denser than the water
at the surface as sea water is dense:
than fresh water.
This slight difference in density,
therefore, does not and cannot stop the
downward course of sinking ship or
any object that is heavy enough to
sink readily beneath the surface. Pres.

in the case at all.-Naverley Maya.

New Styles in Hats.

All the new hats are shallow at the

the stitching is in different color

Or is it something VI

Which finds Development

Or is it sacrifice
And shame

Or it is heart and soul and mind
Blind

To itself; ready to do
And to suffer; willing to give

To live
Or to die for it's own sake?
Or is it pain and longing,

Simplicity and Dignity Marked the last
RiteG to the Oueen-LaId to Rest In
.-s -a FrOgmors AIausOIeum.

London, Feb. 2-Forty years ago
the woman at whose bier the world
to-day paid homage, wrote down her
wishes, saying with what manner OF
form and ceremony she should be car
ried to her last resting place. Death
had just robbed her Of what she held
most dear, and from that hour the
queen gave more thought than Is the
wont Of humanity to that journey
which only now has been accom-
plished. Her instructions then in
dicted and more than once revised,
have been faithfully Obeyed. Sim
plcity and dignity have marked her
funeral rites, as they marked the life
and character Of Victoria. POmp
would have been a mOcl1ery, and there
WAS none. A vast pageantry would
beittle her IN attempting to symbol
ize her power; her body was dragged
through the streets of her capital
upon = common gun carriage. Never
did a funeral procession of a great
sovereign, so few in numbers, repre-
sent so much; never did 50 small
-cayaIcade contain so many princes
and potentates.
The final rites over the dead queen
were concluded at $3.50 P. N. Monday
and the body was laid to rest in the
Frogmore5 mausoleum. Kind Edward,
Queen Alexandra, Emperor william
and others of the royal family at
tended the services beside the coffin
