 The panne velvet waist of the mo- ment has charm all it's own, and where all are so pleasing it is some- what difficult to pick any particular one as being more worthy of de- scription' than another. l have, how ever, selected for my illustration what I considered the three handsom- est models, either of which, am sure, could be easily copied by the are the little short black satin semi sackcoats, seen for the first time within the week. They are most elaborately decorated with jet and gold embroidery and, of course, have the inevitable froufrou of lace and chiffon trimming. Added to their ex- treme novelty must be the Jauntiness of their appearances; and that IS why they are sure to become one of the leading favorites as the season ad- vances. =,-
 It is little too early to speak with any degree of certainty concerning spring headgear, although many of the leading milliners are showing be- witching shapes marked ''early spring styles" But l always think it wise to make haste slowly in buying 8 spring hat. I know it is monstrous temp tation to do otherwise, for with the first breath of spring in the air, our somber winter headgear becomes un- endurable; but it is better to wait few weeks until fashions have adjusted themselves than to buy in haste only to repent at leisure. But to return to these new shapes. Huge, foppy roses, made of panne velvet and silk mixed with intricate Holdings of tulle and chiffon, orament many of them, while others again show q wonderful mix ture of feathers, lace and fine net in their trimming.

The bill-poster fiend has made his ap- pearance in Egypt, and has been ''dec- orating" the magnificent ruins of tenn pies and other remains of antiquity which are to be found scattered up and down in the vicinity of the Nile It is a shame, protests the Cairo Sphinx. that spots so hallowed by age and tra- dition, and some of them world-re- nowned in history should be deseciat- ed by the billposter advertising hotel or an infallible pill by means of the posters he plasters haphazard on the ruins.--Troy Times.

A splendid repertoire is offered by the King Dramatic company, which opens q weeks engagement at the Jacques on Monday evening. Indeed. we recall no company presenting so strong one. In the list are such ex- cellent plays as ''The Cherry Pickers,' Carmen" Power of the Press, Faust 1.-The Sporting Duchess" "Dr Jekyll and MT Hyde." ..Alone in London" and others. The company, which is headed by Lawrence Grottan, is an exceptionally good one, as will be acknowledged by those who saw it last season. Popular prices will be ill effect.

RANCHES OF FASHION.
Artistic Novelties Promised by the
 Fashion Makers.
New Shirt Waists and Tailor Gowns Reveal Radical Changes from
 Last Seasons Garmenfs- Tight Sleeves DoOm med.
Especial Chicago Letter.

Especial Chicago Letter. THIS particular time of the year
 is known in Paris and other fashion centers as the "demi saison," consequently the difficulty of writing about new fashions is simply immense. Fashion makers are much too busy designing smart Easter raiment to take the required time to give out relia ble information as to the coming fashions. However, there are few straws blowing about at the present moment that show quite distinctly which way the wind will blow later on in the world of fashion.
 The changes made in the new shirt waist are quite radical, and the woman who tondly imag agInes that she can palm off her last summers shirt waist as a 1901 production is, I am sorry to say, reckoning without her host. The greatest change appears in the sleeve, although the cut of the entire waist is much altered from those seen last summer. Some of the most striking models are fashioned with jaunty little bsleros, composed entirely of strips of insertion and narrow pufhngs. As seen in the shops they look mighty fetching: but will, I fear, lose much of their pristine beauty after one visit to the average laundry. Other pretty mod els have their fronts finely tucked, and slightly pouched over a pointed girdle, while the sleeves, which are made of alternating rows of inser-

ton and tucks, are gathered in at the wrist under a narrow band of the insertion, finished with full frill of lace.
 that are simply stunning to look upon. Severely plain as they are, their style depends entirely upon their cut and finish, and only the tailor who has his trade at his fn- gers end can bring about desira ble results.
 The white shirt waist will be the most popular this summer, just as it was last, but not to the entire
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-03-09

pinch here and a pat there, and the delft straightening of a bow here and bow there, they could be made be- coming to most any face, be it old or young.
 It may safely be predicted that the first note of change in the spring cos tune will be struck in the alteration of the sleeve. This is destined to become less tight, and already puffs are begin ming to assert themselves in the most vigorous manner. It is buta step from the small puff at the elbow to the huge puff at the shoulder, and one or two advanced models I saw yesterday had boldly plunged into uncompromising Elizabethan sleeves. But of this in- teresting evolution more anon.
 Skirts grow more and more volu- minous with each passing hour, and one may well ask where and,what will be the end., The new ones fit with the same glove-lille snugness about the hips as those worn throughout the win ter, but the extreme fullness at the bottom distinctly marks them as new product, not to be confounded with the old. Tailors are still making their smartest-looking tailored skirts with shaped hounce, which is cut in such q manner as to have the appearance of being plaited onto the skirt. We shall see very many of these skirts later on, as they are considered quite the swag- ger thing to wear with the new twen- tieth century shirt waist.
 There are interesting things galore to say about the tea gown and it's near relation the tea jacket. Judging from the latest Paris models I may safely venture the assertion that the Empire tea gown is by no means in moribund state, but, on the contrary, promises to be more popular than ever before. It comes this season in the most gorgeous form, and as long as jeweled embroid- cry and crepe de chine play such an im- portant part in the world of fashion, just so long will the artistic Empire style be the one most sought after. It's possibilities in the matter of becom- ingness are simply without limit. and under its benigninfuence and the delft manipulations of the clever modiste a plain woman can be made to look at tractive and the beautiful woman look more bewitching still.
 For less ella borate wear the tea gown given in the picture would be good one to copy; made in this instance of fine French cashmere with trimmings of velvet put on in the favorite lattice work pattern and silk fringe.

exclusion of the smart colored one. Madras cloth in plain eolorings, with a sheen on it's smooth surface like finest silk, is much used by up-to- date tailors, while checked and striped silk ginghams are the swell things to buy for this purpose. There can be no manner of doubt that later on there will be a perfect furore for the all-tulle bodice, and al- though it is mode that has been with us at least three months, it's popularity seems to wax rather than wane. Tulle and chiffon are two fabrics that will ever have fore most place among ideal trimmings, for the very good reason that they both are so generally becoming. Few

Bruns and Nina, with their striking white rats will present some fine vaudeville entertainment at Polls on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ana because of the great interest that IS felt in the struggle of the White Rats against the vaudeville trust, as well as because of the performance itself there will undoubtedly be large audiences in attendance The com. pany is particularly well balanced one and could hardly give anything but pleasing performancee. as there are several headliners in addition to Bruns and Nina themselves. Persons who hate the principle and operations of any trust will undoubtedly turn out and thus show their sympathy for these actors who are making life and death struggle for their rights against the vaudeville trust. Seats went on sale this morning at popular prices.

OPERA COMPANY DlSBANDED.
The Idols Eye Aggregation VIII Re-
turn North.

Col w. A. Thompson's Boston Lyric
Opera Company, which presented THE
Idols Eye" at two performances in
Savannah Saturday, has given up the
ghost. The company will not continue
it's Southern tour, but will return to
New York to-day
Acting Manager NJ. J. Murphy made
the announcement to the members of
the troupe yesterday, and only two Of
the cast decided to leave the aggrega-
ton. The other members of the com
will go into one of Col. Thopsons 9th
er productions. Mr.. Murphy says that
THE Idols Eye" company will prob
ably merge into the Rose Cecilia Shay
Grand English Opera Company, which
is being organized, and which will open
during the later part of October.
1t may be that the Boston Opera
Company will be reorganiZed and that
another start viii be made from New
York with a different repertoire 1.-THE
Idols Eye" did not strike Savannah
ians as being particularly brilliant
opera, and it seems that it has not
made money for Col. Thompson. The
company came to Savannah badly Grip
pied and Mr.. Murphy says that he
realized that it would be folly to con-
tinue on the road with a depleted
troupe. He says that the company sang
itself out in Memphis. where an en-
gagement of two weeks was played.

righteousness of his soul, so let the
ashes of his bones be in the grave;
and through the multitude of Thy be-
nevolence, conduct him to the place
which is prepared for the just. AS it
is written, o how great is Thy good
ness. which Thou hast laid up for them
that fear Thee and again, He keepeth
all his bones; not one of them is
broken. Let him dwell in safety, and be
quiet from fear of evil, not to behold
the presence of hell; but let his soul
be bound in the bundle of eternal life.

WILL PROVE A BLESSING.
Rev. DIR. Kirby Said President's
Death VIII BE COuntry's Salvation.

Rev. DIR. Kirby Said Presidents
Death VIII BE Country's Salvation.
Rev. DR.. ]. E. Kirby preached yes
terday morning and last night at the
Independent Presbyterian Church, fill
ing the pulpit for the pastor, Rev. DR..
vacation. DR.. Kirby is an excellent
preacher, and his sermons were we'll
received. He is president of the Theo-
logical Seminary at Atlanta, a position
he fills this year for the first time. For
some years DR.. Kirby was pastor of the
Circular Church at Charleston
During his morning sermon, DR.. Kir-
by spoke of the assassination of Pres
ident Mckinley. He described touch
ingly the departure of the late Presi-
dent for Buffalo. his speech at that
place and the dastardly deed of the
assassin. While deeply deploring his
death, DR.. Kirby said that there was
yet one thing that would grow out
of it that would be of great good to
the country, that being the greater
ability of statesmen to grasp the great
est problem that confrontS them-that
of dealing with anarchy and philosoph-
ical socialism.
In time, said the preacher, citizens
will see that the death of the President
by an assassin's hand will prove the
salvation of the country. 1t is diff
cult to see in a great grief anything
of good, the preacher said. but it will
develop that it was to the good of the
country that this great calamity has
befallen it. 1t will prove an instance
of the mysterious ways in which God
works to perform his wonders
