eminent. She pleaded that her appearance
in Mexico would cause her DEATH but
she was seized by her husband and drag

in their behalf were caused by sympathy
Some Of her cures are said to be mar

to her to be cured. One leg was paral-
yzed and she had been unable to use 1t
for a year. She placed her hands upon
the crippled limb and commanded her
to walk. The Indian took a few steps and
found that she was able to walk and
almost run. She is said to have cured
Indians of insanity, while some have had
their hearing restored by her powers.
Getting a spring wardrobe together, says
Harper's Bazaar, or rather a spring and
summer wardrobe, is really quite a fas-
cinating piece of business, provided it is
undertaken in the middle of winter; the
only objection being that in the middle
of winter there are so many other things
to be done that time is somewhat limit
ed. But the shops are not so crowded
as later, and the dressmakers not so rush
ed with work, and one can linger over
the choice of fabrics and colors without
the feeling that some one else is wait
ing to take ones place. This season the
spring and summer fabrics are unusually
summer like, as though the terrific heat
of last summer had made people feel that
clothing suited to the tropics was what
would be needed around New York, and
these materials are quite thin enough to
do duty IN the tropics. The colors are
dainty, the designs most varied. II is 60
ing to be difficult matter for the woman
who prides herself upon dressing herself
exclusively according to a color scheme
to resist the destinations of the many ex-
quisite coloring she viii see displayed.
Blacks and whites ere the rage-that is,
white with black figures, or vice versa.
There are muslins, c3mbrics grenadines,
bareges, silk muslns and numbers of ma

but which are on the order of gauzes,

dots. These gowns are supposed to be

1t is true. A brother with his sister. were
on their way in a cab to a dance at Sher-
rvs The cab was rafting at top speed
down Madison avenue on the downtown
car tracks
Traffic was heavy on the downtown
side and the motorman in the rear banged
his gong several times. The cab driver
horse 70 he l.
and it looked like a head-on collision be-
tween the UP coming car and the down
going cab.
The driver of the cab swerved his horse
to the east side of the avenue, the motor
man dropped his cable, the cab wheels
slipped along the slippery track, and the
inevitable happened. The cab was thrown
to the sidewalk sdewise the horse broke
away and ran down Madison avenue. the
cabman wasn't in the immediate vicinity.
and strange to say, the occupants of the
cab weren't hurt. The man climbed out
first, and helped his sister out. Perceiv-
ing the crowd, she lodged back into the
overturned cab and asked

Receiving an answer as she climbed out

The dress-suit-case girl, says the New
York Times. is becoming one of the pop
ular nuisanees. 1t is not only that the
public is obliged to suffer sympathetic
pains in seeing her dragging around with
her bag that is much too large and
heavy for her strength, but ii receives
many knocks to emphasize the fact 1t
is an impossibility for the girl with the
dress-suit-case to pass through a car filled
with people without knocking it against
the knees Of a goodly number OF them
