new shades of blue and red that are so popular There is queer shade of green that is trimmed with black lace oyer white taffeta or white satin, and and little knots of yellow at the throat and belt that is quite unusual as to color and exceedingly smart, not too generally becoming, though, to run the risk of it's being common combi- nation.
 Applique in cut work of all descrip- tons and designs is to be immensley popular this spring. An exceedingly smart style of taffeta waist i'll light blue. very fine tucks, has a collar and points in front made off fine white cloth cut work outlined with black machine stitching. The only other trimming on the waists being rosetts of black ma | lines not connected with fold of the same material. The light weight cloth gown with the applique of taffeta or satin outlined with a satin braid is eX cecdingly attractive and the design is used very clcyerly in long lines outlin- ing each seam and around the foot of the skirt
 With d black cloth costume. the skirt of which is made in this way is an exceedingly smart coat. quite short at the back and with long points in l front. and the entire coat is outlined with this same trimming a conYon- tfonalized leaf designs The neW=taf- fea gowns show q most elaborate cal- rHing ont of this idea There are me 'ialIions Of laeo and the silk is cut out i underneath the medallions and then q very narrow silk or satin braid is put on to outline the pattern. These skirts afe lined with differen colors or with black if preferred are exeeedingIy smart, and while many of them are very expensive. there is an unusually wide choice, for many of them come in what are called the pattern gowns. The same idea is carried out on net and on liberty satin, but is not so new. The medallions used on the crepe de chine and satin foulard gowns are Hot finished with any braid. but with em- hroidefy stitches. or are appli0ued down on to the material itself in q most extraordinarily difficult fashion, all giving an opportunity to good nee de women
 This season will be marked as one when most beautiful handiWork is the rage. Many of the embroideries are done entirely by hand. and while the limitations are so cleyerly executed, it would take a very keen eye to discoy. CT the difference The preference is for the more expensive and what is called real work. Even with the embroidered passementeries and spangled nets an Immense amount of work is done bv hand and some of the fastidious Vo- men say the would rather have ward of the hand work than an entire gown covered with machine work. AS it is. there are enough orders coming in to all the dressmakers and largeshops for all kinds of trimmings to make both equally fashionable

A Ouiet Wedding.

ayes, Jimson's wedding was a quiet
affair, owing to the death Of a second
cousin of the brides mother, who left
the family little money"
THAT must have been pretty hard on
Jimson. He likes excitement"
"Oh, there was excitement enough.
One Of the brides little brothers hit
Unison in the left ear with a bag OF
rice and tore it loose; and another little
brother nearly broke one of his floating
ribs with an old slipper; and somebody
flung a horse shoe after them for luck,
and it caught Unison in the neck just
as he stuck his head out of the carriage
window. And one of the unc,es came
out with megaphone and let all the
neighbors know that the happy pair
was spliced; and somebody broke the
carriage window with rabbits foot
made into a paper weight; and the
horses ran away, and the driver fell
off the box, and Jmson had to drive the
horses the rest of the way, and got to
the station just in time to miss the
train. Oh, there was plenty of excite
ment for just a quiet wedding. "-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

Real Names of Some Noted Rulers

Real Names of Some Noted Rulers.
Suppose that some morning there
should appear in the newspapers such
an item as this: MIR. and Mrs. Albert
E. Victim, accompanied by their
nephew, Mr.. Frederick w. V. A.
Hohenzollern, sailed yesterday from
Liverpool for New York" How many
people would give more than a passing
glance at this announcement? Yet it
would be a piece of news calculated
to throw the people Of New York, and
the whole of this country, in fact, into
paroxysm of excitement and feverish
expectation, as must be admitted when
the names Of King Edward VII, Queen
Alexandra and Emperor William of
Germany are respectively substituted
for the true family names given In the
supposititious item. Then there Is the
youthful matron, Mrs. Henry Schwerin,
who yields more power than any other
woman of twenty-one now living. She
is known to the world as Wilhelmina
of Holland, and is the only queen In
the world to-day with the same powers
as King.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Again the Servant Question.

The Woman's Club is at last having
its effect ON the servant question, but
it is not exactly the effect that the
clubites wished to produce. 1t was last
week that a suburban housekeeper had
this fact borne in upon her. She had
advertised for cook, and the plump
colored girl who came in response
looked a very capable person indeed;
but-she must have two evenings of
a week, she said.
1.-TWO evenings exclaimed Mrs
Blank; "why, it has been customary
with me to allow my maids only every
Thursday and every other Sunday
evening. 1 cannot agree to do more
than that for you"
I'm very sorry, but l can't come
then" said the plump one with deci-
sion. you see, my whist club meets
ON Monday evening and my literary
club on Fridays, and | must have the
afternoons of these days to study rules
and prepare my papers," and before
Mrs. Blank could get her breath suffi-
GENTLY to ask whether 1t was Bridge"
that was played, and what author the
literary club was pursuing at that mo-
ment the sable damsel stalked out or
the room in stately dignity and the op-
portunity was lost.
