effect that United States Minister
Loomis is being prosecuted with a de-
lfberate purpose to find a basis for CIV

in official circles that it will not be
possible for any such scheme to sue

MI. LOOMS has at every phase of the

according to precise instructions from
the State Department Therefore, it
is not conceivable to the officials that
Venezuela is ready to adopt a course
which certainly would lead to the
gravest complications. for there is no
doubt that the State Department will
stand squarely behind its minister in
this matter.

REVIEW OF THE PARIS FASHION PAPERS.

to believe the first statement rather
thar the second.
Sleeves are still very varied In form,
lengthening by a flounce or a pufsed
wristband of a different color, but in
harmony with the trimming of the COR
sage.
The "plastron' yoke,which recalls to
mind somewhat the Empire dress when
1t is on a straight cut dress, is a very
important feature. Have my readers
remarked how little plain corsages are
worn at present? Nearly all OF them
are more or less cut away. Sometimes
the edge is cut into rounded indenta-
tions, sometimes in the shape of a
heart, or rounded in front and square
over the shoulders. There they are nc
thicker than an epaulet-
Handsome brocade tissues are stiH
much worn. The latest innovations Is
to embroider on them new designs In
gold thread. The effect is marvellous.

Petticoats are still made, as far an
possible, to match the dress. or OF q
color harmonizing with 1t. Sky blue
goes beautifully with plum color or
mauye. A pink petticoat beneath a
beige costume also looks well. White
p~etticoats, deliberately trimmed with
lace, are worn in the evening, especial
" by young girls and young women
who dance. These pretty eolored petit
coats are even made for little girls
from six years old or upward. / have
seen very dainty ones, in blue pink and
cream-colored tafetas, of course. made
upon a small corsage and trimmed
with three narrow gathered %nounces,
edged with Valenciennes lace about
a centimetre wide. Skirts are 10
made so short that the petticoats
scarcely ever soil and taffeta wears
sufficiently well to be useful.-La Vraie

TEN THOUSAND ACRES

OF Coal Land Sold in Southern BEL
mont County to Pittsburg Parties.
Deal Closed q Few Days Ago.
George Korner, of Pcwhatan, who
for the past year has been optioning
coal lands in Southern Belmont and
Northern Monroe counties, has secured
a block of ten thousand acres at an
average of about SIS per acre. Last
week Mr.. Korner sold his options to
Poe & Co., Of Pittsburg, who have or
dered the land owners to prepare their
abstracts Immediately, and several at
torneys are busy making out these
deeds.
This deal almost closes up the sale
of all the coal lands in this part OF
Belmont county and in all makes over
10000 acres of coal land sold in the
last year. The coal in this territory
will almost all have to be shafted for,
the vein lying about one hundred feet
below the surface, and is about five
feet thick. Coal men well informed
say that this territory is very valuable
and the price paid is said to have been
reasonable.

To lengthen fur capes there are a
thousand combinations Of lace and vel
vet; the last named is most used. With
sable or mink black velvet does very
well, though velvet to match the fur is
preferred. When the cape is finished
off with tails a velvet flounce looks ex-
tremely well
Embroiieries are in great favor.
Cloth dresses, velvet and peau de sole
dresses are all richly embroidered
either with garlands or designs on the
skirt and corsage.
For stout women skirts should be
light round the hips, with a few plaits
at the back to give fulness to the
%breadths.
Many princess dresses are still worn,
but the shape rarely rises above the
corselet, and a bolero completes the
costume.
Boleros are all tailor-made, with
linen fronts, collars and cuffs. The
bolero is not likely to get out OF fash
ion. 1t can be varied in many Ways,
and can he worn open or closed, SO as
to entirely change the aspect OF the
dress.-Moniteur de la Mode.
Liberty satin mixed with panne is
