In with white silk muslin wrought with
fine silver threads. This is then brought
down to the bottom in a blouse fold and
decorated with another velvet bow, and
all the ends have spikes. These spikes,
by the way, are very popular just now.
The sleeves of this dress are to the ell
bow only and are of the silk trimmed
like the rest of the dress. only there are
undersleeves of the muslin, with velvet
cuffs On the shoulders are bows with
spikes, and those on the elbows have
them likewise. These spikes are put on
many of the belts, especially those with
long pieces, in irregular lengths, and
these all have the spikes on the ends.
They are of gilt and silver end are call
ed by some Aiglon plquets. They are
certainly pretty. They can be pur-
chased at cents each for the large
ones and less for the small ones. While
am speaking of prices l may say that

the bait if he suspects anything wrong.
He takes up the bait gingerly and car
ries it a short distance.
Then when he has toyed with the
bait and finds that he can carry it Off
without resistance it goes down into
his capaciOus nav, and he is securely
hooked Now comes the struggle that
tries the nerve, the judgment and the
strength of the sportsman. The great
fish dashes madly forward, sometimes
going into shallow water and getting
bewildered, so that it is an easy prey.
At other times it does not succumb for
four or five hours and adds to the eX-
citemcnt by occasionally leaping high
in the air, opening its immense jaws to
their widest extent and shaking itself
with such violent contortions that the
hook is often torn out If the line does
not part nor the rod break, the fish
may drag the boat some distance be-
fore his strength is exhausted. Time
and time again will the anxious sports
man think that his fish is subdued and
attempt to reel him in, but the recuper

that he will make repeated dashes for
liberty. When finally conquered, the
big fish is brought alongside the boat
and is either lifted on board with a
gaff or, if he is very big fellow, is
towed to the landing place behind the
boat
OF course women have not the
strength to 60 in much for tarpon fish
ing, though one unusually athletic wo-
man landed a fair sized specimen a
couple Of years ago. The greatest
danger is to have the boat upset. and
then in the matter of swimming a wo-
mans clinging clothes put her in great
peril Most of the sportswomen here
prefer to catch bluefish. The champion
angler is Mrs. II. Nj. Stevenson of Chi

WINTER RESORTIN FLORIDA

PALM BEACH, Fla, Jan. -. There is
no doubt that Florida is the paradise CT
the east, as California is that of tn
west. How any person with money can
stay in the north and face bleak wintrA
weather is a mystery to me since !
have made the acquaintance of this
place. Palm Beach is perfect as far as
nature is concerned, and as it is much
farther south than most of the resorts
the vegetation is far more tropical. Gil
gantic palms grow everywhere, even at
the waters edge, and in fact give to
the place it's name. Fruits and flowers
are abundant. and as for the glorious
southern sunlight and blue skies they
defy description.
There are two great palatfal hotels

known people. l refer to The Breakers
and the Royal POinciana. | am staying

quite a celebrated sportsman here. His
name is Mr.. Charles +. Bingham, from
Buffalo. His speciality seems to be the
killing of sharks. He brought in his
seventh only a few days ago. It was

these monsters is great. They fight
hard for liberty, but Mr. Bingham

Olive Harper Describes n Beautiful
New Eiuner Dress.

NEW YORK, Jan. %. i do not remem-
Der ever having seen peau de sole
with figures on it, but now there are
many patterns, and they are all quite
novel. A beautiful new dinner gown
is made of the richest Of this always
rich silk, and on the pearl gray ground
are scattered lozenges, of which one
half is white and the other is crimson.
Crimson on pearl gray is very Frenchy
and stylish. This pattern Is seen in
seven different colors in the same de-
sign, only that the figures are In other
colors such as go in combination with
whatever the groundwork ls. l forgot
to say that the figures are raised above
the silk.
The particular dress is one of full
trousseau for young bride, and it was
imported. The form is quite a-simple
one, inasmuch as the skirt is so plain.
The, skirt is made with three double
folds at the center of the back, and the
front breadth Is slashed to allow for
insets in fan shape made of crimson
taffeta. On each side of the slashes
there Is a line Of handsome lace inser-
ton some three inches wide. This ex-
tends nearly to the waist, where they
form an apex to the point under a
pretty bow of black velvet ribbon. The
waist is of the crimson silk. with a
crush belt of black velvet. The upper

BEAUTIFUL NEW DINNER DRESS.
wild with anxiety to know what our
women are going to like best, so that
they can go on and make up the dress
es. They complain that the American
woman is an uncertain quantity and
that no one can dare to say what she
will like or what she will not have at
any price. There are empire dresses
made, and there are princeSses, and
there are also many other things, but
they are afraid to venture on any one
thing Therefore there are all kinds
and styles of designs. Baby waists
and Rejane jackets in the most pro-
nounced directoire style are seen, and
these are for the street as well as for
the house. again, there is the old
stand by of a tight and pointed waist,
and the pOmpadour is on probation,
and so is the surplice waist cut very
low in the back. This is for grand &C.
casions. Draped skirts and overskirts,
embroidered and appliqued skirts, are
all there, and yet perhaps the prettiest
and most graceful of all the things
shown is an empire frOck of white
peau de cygne, which shows that the
dressmaker Of today is eclectic and
knows enough to use the best Of every
style to produce n harmonious whole.
The back is princess, with rich folds
at the center below the waist, and the
front, from the sides, is all in one
piece. This could not be done were it
not that the silk is so wide. The waist
is short ans les to the usual length
for an empir<rhpd the shoulder and
yoke portion is fairly hidden under a
handsome band of heavy cream lace.
The whole front is drawn around and
fastened at the bust line in four small
plaits, and these are just sufficient to
drape it over the bust a little in the
style all women understand as "pinch.
ed drapery." This brings the silk
straight along the front from the bust
to the foot. Only slim and girlish
figure should dare this, which Is just
the reason why every woman will
want it. The sleeves are tight to the
elbow, and from there there Is a puff
and deep cuff Of all over lace Of lighter
kind than that used for the yoke and
band. The silk in the dress is so heavy
and rich that 1t requires no trimming,
and It's elegant simplicity is its greatest
charm. 1t is demitrain.

started up a few nights ago, and mas
worked remarkably well from the start.
The streets are lit up by the arc ishts'
while the business houses and residences
are lighted by the incandeScent lamps.
The local lodge of N1aSons gave an ele-
CANT oyster supper here Tuesday night.
All the married members brought their

The January term OF the count! Court
begins on the 18th. and there are quite
d number of cases for indictment, ana II
is likely that it will continue all the week
The case of Homer Massey is set Tor the
first day, and will probably consume
about two days in the trial. Massey was
indicted for horse stealing at the sep
TENDER term, but was not arrested untii
recently, when he was apprehendeu III
Franklin county and brought here ana
farmr near Blacksburg last summer, ana
went to an old colored man to hire ms
horse to ride to Floyd county to see ms
mother saying he would return the thlrd
day: but after waiting in vain for two
weeks, the owner OF the horse pald the
constable eight dollars to find his morse,
which he did after several days search.
Massey had tried to sell 1t to several
parties and had cut off its tail and name,
turned it out in an old field and fled to
North Carolina when the officer was
pressing him.
Not in many years have the farmers
been so favored with such an open Win
ter and while they have not put up their
ice, vet they have not had to do much
feeding, and have made great progress
with their blowing for the spring plant
ing, very unusual thing for this time
of the year. The roads were never known
to be in a better condition for January,
they being really better than in the sum-
mer, for while they are just as solld they
are without the dust OF that season.
One of the guards came here to-day and
took away Il colored man by the name OF
John GRAY who was adjudgtd a lunatic

two weeks ago, and ordered 10 be Sent TO
the colored asylum at Petersburg. Gray
had not been out of the Jail an hour be
fore the constable brought a colored wo-
man named Louisa Hawkins in, charged
with lunacy. She went to the house OF
Mrs Whitehead, near the depot, and de-
manded admittance, saying she had pur>
chased it and was going to move IN at
once, and when she was refused, threat
eaed to break in with an axe. Mrs
Whitehead lives in Norfolk, but spends
the summer in her house here, which she
left-i the care Of Mr.. Fleming Gardner,
of this town.
