COST OF DRESSING PROPERLY.
London Society Woman Says 1t Re
quires at Least $500 a Year.

LONDON, Sept. 1s,-Some little
time ago there was quite a discussion
in the London papers on the question
of women's dress. All sorts of let
ters were sent to the weekly soci-
ETY. papers on the subject, some smart
women declaring that it cost quite
$500 to Ell 1000 a year to dress suit
ably for the circles in which they
moved
One lady in particular caused con
siderable amusement that seventy
guinea opera cloak was a necessity.
Since then there seems to lie no end
Of money being spent on trousseaux.
People have heard of bride who
paid $500 for her lingerie alone. An
other luxurious Item of her trosseau
was forty-eight pairs of stockings and
the very finest silk shoes TO match.
The fashion Of stockings and shoes to
match has lately become very fash
ionable in London. Nearly all the
very best dressed women In London
are taking IL up.

Mourning to Last Six Months.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1S.-If the
precedence set by President Arthur
are followed by President Roosevelt.
the coming winter will be entirely de-
void of social gayety. The official
mourning will extend over six months
and will be vigorously observed. This
period includes New Years and usual
conrtesies extended to the diplomatic
corps, the congress, the judiciary and
the army and navy The official
mourning Will end on March IA, 1902,
and as this date falls after Shrove
Tuesday, the official social season will
be allowed to lapse. Therefore the
New Years reception of 1903 will in
all probability be the first formal gath
ering of the official and social world
at the White house.
This period of mourning is observed
strictly. All stationery used at the
White House is bordered in black,
as is also the stationery at state de-
partment. The other branches of the
government will not observe this re-
quirement. The presidents visiting
cards and the cards of the cabinet
members will also be black border
ed.
President Arthur. in December af-
ter his succession, gave a small din
ner party at the Arlington to his cab
met, and it may be that President
Roosevelt will break the gloom in the
same informal manner.
According to the etiquette which
holds, Mrs. Roosevelt and her young
daughter, Miss Alice, will neither ex-
tend nor except hospitality during this
period of official mourning They
can, of course, go to the homes of re-
latives or near friends. or receive
such at their own homes, but these
amenities must be of strictly private
nature, and will partake in no sense
of an omcial function.
Admiral Dewey and Lieutenant Gen
eral Miles will observe mourning.

BLUEBELL AT AZTEC.

Aztec, Colo, Sept. n.
or course II is commonplace to talk
about the weather but did you ever
think how barren life would he with
out this same element. which in
slightly different forms, Is familiar to
us all2 We often tire of our trivial
round like the Athenians, we are ev-
er seeking for some new thing-but
when the desire for change is salts
fed, we are only too glad to return to
the old routine Commonplace!
Yes, these are the details that make
home memories so sweet. We do

ary. everyday life of our childhood,

Then. let's be commonplace now.
and talk about the weather. If the
topic is dull, the days are not. Sun
ny. clear, and yet cool. Yesterday
was peer of days for travelling.
There was plenty of company. too. for
all day long people bound for the
same destination as ourselves were
hurrying thither.
There have been many changes In
the past two years. All along the
road after the New Mexico line is
reached there are well cultivated
ranches. Broad fields of tasseled
corn, sweet-scented alfalfa being laid
low, trees bending to the ground with
their burdens of fruit are feast to
the eye. Plant growth, too. Is so
luxuriant that in comparatively
short time new land takes on an ap-
pearance as II cultivated for years.
In Aztec too, there are many and
various changes. A good deal OF
building is going on and there is a
demand for more. With It's present
system of schools, including the nor
NAL. there Is an inducement to peo.
| pie living in the mountains to spend
their winters In less rigorous ell
| mate since the winters of San Juan
| county, N. NJ, are certainly very mild
| and pleasant.

In memory of Birger Jarl in the cen

his sword, and the vigorous old Vik-
ing looks with pride over the city
that he founded and the nation that
grew to greatness under his hands
Ther Were great doings here even
before the days OF Brger Jarl. One
morning long centuries ago, Agne, one
of the early Vikings, came sailing in
from the Baltic from neighbofly
visit to Europe. He had slain King
Froste of the Teutons. plundered his
palaces. and brought the latters
daughter, a beautiful maiden named
Skialf, and many other prisoners, and
shiploads of loot. He camped upon
the island where the palace of King
Oscar now stands, and invited the jarls
of the neighborhood to banquet to
celebrate his victory and his ap-
preaching nuptials with his fair pris
oner. When Skialf learned of his
plan she protested because her father
had just been slain, and it was bad
form to be married while she was In
mourning. Besides, she had the right
TO expect that some respect would be
paid to her fathers memory by her flu
ture husband. Like old King Cole.
Agne was "A good old soul and was
much mortified because he had mad
vertently overlooked this point of eti-
quette, so he ordered a funeral ban
quet in memory Of the brides father
to procede the nuptial feast.
They We're lively boys. those old
sea kings. and whether it was feast
or a fight. wake or a wedding. they
entered into everything with zeal.
Skialf was aware of the fact, so she
sent word to her fellow prisoners to
keep sober, but to pretend to drink as
much as the rest
King Agne wore long and massive
chain of gold, like the Lord Mayor of
London, and during the progress of
the feast his bride, who sat beside
him, admired 1t, as women do such
things, and playfully wound 1t around
his neck again and again until the
loop would no longer go over his mas
siye head. She kept the old chap
drinking until he got fuddied and fell
over asleep with his tawny name in
her lap. One by one the guests rolled
under the table. The joyous bride
urged the knights and their servitors
to drink more, until everybody was
stupid and sleepy except the prison
ers, who, under the command of the
clever princess, hitched a rope to the
kings neck chain and hauled it over
the limb of an old oak under which
the banquet had been given. They
| then proceeded to club and knife the
rest of the party, and, when the job
was done, seized the ships and sailed
homeward, carrying with them all
the booty that King Agne had cap
| tured in their country.

Cabinet Will Remain the Same.

taries Long and Hay of the cabinet
remain in the city. they having been
in communication by wire with the

all the members of the cabinet to ac-

individually and collectively believ-
ing that Mr.. Roosevelt is sincere in
his tender of the offices. The cabinet
will therefore remain precisely as it
was before President Mckinley was
