FASHIONABLE FEMININITY.
Pretty Trihes That Are Used tn
Complete the Latest In Ladies'
Costumes,

An exquisite evening gown is of
with crepe de chine, trimmed with
gold lace.
The daintiest little vests are re.
sponsible for the smart relieving note
in many of the simpler outdoor cos
tunes, says a fashion exchange.
Evening skirts are exceedingly long,
but the pointed train and the fish
tail shape are not in favor, and the
extra length falls in long, equal folds.
Special favor is shown to black in
gowns, costumes, cloth and velvet
wraps, gloves and simple elegant mil
linery for the winter.
lace collars are extremely fashion
able on all sorts of gowns. They are
called, n and all, Louis XIII. col
lars, but so they be of lace and any
ways broad at all, they are smart
enough.

The testimony which some of their
members gave in regard to hazing
seems to have convinced the body of
West Point cadets that it is an indie
feasible practice, which they have vol
unfairly pledged themselves to break
up. That the cruelty of some of the
performances has not occurred to
them before would seem strange if it
were not taken into account that the
custom has prevailed for years. Prece-
dents are not often scrutinized as to
their ethical bearings. But the action
of the classes should be accepted as
the end of a bad custom.

A United States court in South Da-

on their property. Soon the gentle

him as a superior being. Taxation is
a great l~eveler. 1t falls upon the just
and unjust, but the unjust succeed
in lodging it sometimes. The Indian
who has land will be among the just
and will have to pay, for zeal estate
is visible and cannot be hidden.

to the shafts of a sleigh in lieu of the

subject to la grippe. None are exempt-all
