One of the extreme novelties Is the
trimming Of linen gowns with SILK
bands.
It is considered essential this season
that q knot Of black should appear
somewhere on every costume.
Evening skirts are excessively full
and much tlounced and frilled and the
overskirt is fashionable for evening
coilets.
The sailor blouse is popular style
in shirt waist suits for young people.
Many pretty linen and pique ones are
now worn.
Flowered organdies make the dain.
tiest and most serviceable dressing
sacques, and the material may be had
in number Of pretty patterns.
The choker is no longer con-
spicuous feature Of costume. These
days it is a soft draped piece of lace,
null or silk, continuance Of the yoke.
Long fichus, when worn, are knotted
on the bust, crossed, and carried
around the waist to fasten ut the back
with long ends hanging the length
Of the skirt.
Mercerized linen in pale pink, blues
and lavenders make charming morn
ing frocks, tucked In groups all
around the skirt above shaped
founce headed and finished with @
stitched band.
Linen poplinettc is c new fabric
which lends itself we'll to simple
models. A dainty costume of this
fabric in white with black dot has Q
ffounce beginning at each side Of the
front width tucked in groups half Its
width all around.
Pretty little cha!lic negligces arc
TO be found in the kimono shape
which are very pretty and attractive
They are in simple patterns of the
challie, and finished with broad
band of silk, binding the edge ant
passing around the neck and OWL

nraatnhla Iowa Letters.

With our army in Cuba during the
most interesting part Of the "dolngs"
down there was a young lieutenant
who counts time by his love affairs In
stead of by the calendar. Just before
he departed for the wars he became
engaged to a girl in the First ward"
l really don't believe she cared SO
much for him as she let on. but lts
asking too much of any girl to expect
her to refuse departing soldier IN
blue and gold, with stern-set Gibson
esoue face, and tears in his eyes. 30
he went away, and as nearly as posi-
BILE he wrote letter to her every day.
He had little time to spend in writing,
and he spent 1t all on her. He wrote
carefully. he wrote with infinite detail,
end while the girl might have planned
that the letters were not especially
ardent, she couldn't say they were not
comprehensive. There was the whole
history of the young soldiers stay IN
Cuba in them, when he returned. And
then the very first thing he did after
ne came home was to pick q quarrel
with her.
"My letters!" said she.
my letters" demanded he.
She flung them at him. three neat
packages tied uD with ribbon. Love
letters to her they were. but to him
thev were a carefully written and &C
curately detailed history Of his eXpe-
riences in Cuba. He'd saved the trou-
BILE of a diary, saved the risk of loss
and his reward was three packages OF
invaluable literary assets. Nobody but
q man would have thought Of that

Another Coming Ceremonial.

1t Is. not likely that the Duke Of
Cornwall AMI York will be created
Prince of Wales until after the kings
coronation next year. This distinction
used to be conferred with ceremony,
which (says one of our London corre-
spondents), will probably be revived In
1902. Strut, in his Customs" sum-
marizes the ceremony as follows:
"The prince Is presented before the
king in princely robes. who putteth
about his neck a sword bend-wlse, a
can and coronet on his head, a ring
oa his middle finger, a verge Of gold
In his hand, and his letters-patent af-
tor they are ead."-Sheffleld Tele-

ENGINEERS NERVE.
Desperate Chances Which They Some

I Desperate Chances Which They Some
times Take.
Il have been often asked why rail-
weY engineers disregard their instruc-
tious and tho warning signals along
, the line of their road" said the gen.
| eral superintendent of a railroad to q
Washington Star man, "and l have
summed it UP that it is human nature
for men to take chances in their busi-
ness, and that engineers are no excep-
tion to the general rule.
Sometimes they cannot give a sat

will give you an authentic instance
of this habit, which made me live 10
years in 80 minutes.
"On a road was at the time con-
nected with was long trestle over a
bay, several miles in length, with q
drawliridge in the centre. The draw
had been opened, and as tugboat was
passing through th'e bridgemen heard
the rumble Of fast, heavily laden
passenger train as it struck the bridge
a mile away. Knowing that the red
danger signals were set with the
opening Of the draw, they supposed
that the engineer would slow UP. or
stop, as might be necessary. Instead,
to their CONSERVATION, the train came
along at regular speed, and a frightful
accident appeared inevitable. They
yelled to the captain of the tugboat to
go at full speed, and as the boat glided
through the draw in the darkness they
exerted themselves to swing the draw
into the locking bolts before the train
could get to the point where the rails
separated.
"The engineer, however, disregard
ed the last danger signal g few hun
dred yards from the draw, and came
on. BY remarkable coincidence Of
time and position, the draw, which
was, OF course, in motion, swung so
that the rails of the east-bound track
were in juxtaposition with the west
bound track upon which the train was
running, and the heavy engine and one
of the passenger coaches, striking the
east-bound rails, glided upon the draw
and stuck there. the remaining portion
of the train bsing on the west-boupd
track, making almost figure S Of the
coaches.
"If the draw had moved the Goth
part Of second faster or slower, the
east-bound rails would not have been
opposite the west-bound rails at the
very instant that the great engine
struck them, and a frightful disaster
would have resulted. When got out
on the bridge few minutes later full
ly expected to find the train in the
bottom of the bay, and the draw
smashed into splinters. l discharged
the engineer on the spot and asked
him why lie had not observed the sig
nails. He admitted that he saw them,
but could not give a -satiafe"tn~:' ~

Cuba's Salvation.

The pest Of yellow fever has been
combated with such vigor in Cuba
that not 4 single death has been re.
ported as resulting from it this year.
according to good authority. Reports
received by Surgcon-General Hyman
from members of the medical staff
scattered all over the Island of Cuba
show that it is practically free from
yellow fever. This is probably tho
first time this statement could be made
for centuries. The reason that yellow
fever has been so successfully over
come is because Of the efficient sani-
tary methods employed by the United
States health officers. Havana itself
has been revolutionized as regards Its
sanitary conditions. Recent experi-
ments having proved that yellow fever
was to q great extent transmitted by
mosquitoes bred in the tropical
swamps and the cesspools, drastic
means were employed to kill these In
sects. The streets and sewers In Ha-
vana and other cities Of the island
were sprinkled with kerosene, with
most satisfactory results.

One Of the most delightful Of serpents
is all Of turquois-a turquois serpent
must be an inofensive animal. This
one is Of exquisite workmanship, sci
solidly with the small turquois, while
the scales are each framed in line of
gold. There is jewel in the crest
which crowns the head and more
jewels for eyes. Holding his tail in
his mouth the serpent forms neck

Mexican opals make charming neck
chains, pretty, limpid things. Some
of the stones are deep red in tone,
others almost white, as they show In
different lights. Each stone is set
in a gold band, and the whole neck
lace Is a liquid rainbow of light.
Quite different is the necklace Of
Australian opals. In the other the
stones are almost fat, and in this the
opalescent beads, showing charming
soft green and blue tones in their
milk depths, are long and egg-shaped,
with a line Of rock crystal running
through the centre of each. the whole

In ornaments from the land Of the
Gear, the most unique are the belt
buckles. In one couple Of wrestling
bears form each side of the clasp, and
make a deep buckle. Two crouching
bears form q long and narrow clasp.

to have white stockings, but It is a
