Possibly no other people can produce
SO many accurate and skillful shooters
as America. But they are not confined
exclusively to the male sex. Annie
Oakley has made a name throughout
the world with her shooting, and quite

The third test was what is called

AT A WOMAN'S CLUB.

Posting delinquent members at the Wo-
mans Club was made the subject of an
afternoon discussion the other day at a
we'll known club of artists and writer's
There was a good deal said back and
forth, for while posting for debt means
very little in a mans club, in a woman's
it means all sorts of things-fnancial de-
preston, forgetfulness. social humiliation
and a score of other evils more or less
important.
Said one woman: I'd never be able to
look q member in the face again if were
posted for de6t." Others on the goveyn-
ing board agreed with her.

debts. and the delinquent members took
no notice Of suggestions or letters.
"Of course" said the chairman, there
are lot of women who perhaps can't
pay I don't know but it seems hard to
put them out of a club or to post them
Just because they are up against it. 4"
A suggestion occurred to the secretary.
and il was Immediately acted upon
namely, that if any delinquent member is
seen with a new bonnet, new gown or
cloak during her period Of non-pay
ment, she shall be posted forthwith. This
seemed to meet with the approval Of all
present, and the motion was properly
seconded and approved, and the delayed
business of the club went on merrily.

receptions and soirees will soon be in
full swing In the Provinces, where

Therefore come for women of fashion
to think of their evening dresses. The
kgold lavished on all sides is now used
in profusion on these toilets, where it
is more in it's place than on outdoor
! dresses.
Spangles seem to have gone out al
together. In the few cases where they
are used they are dulled or else gold
spangles. Cloth of gold an gold tulle
make charming under-dresses for the
ballroom. They are incrusted with
guipure or applications of Chantilly,
only showing here or there through
the over uress. Then there are en-
broideries in chenille, mixed with gold
thread, uncut stones, pearls and pre-
cious stones, which make the dresses
resemble the robes of fairies, such as
children see in their dreams.
Another feature this season, which
is seen at Doucet's, is the application
of flowers of painted muslin relief
Their effect is very fluffy and quite
charming.
D Evening dresses are much made in
the princess shape, very tight-ftting
in the upper part and simple in their
lines, with great refinement in every
! detail, and very wide at the bottom.
The soft stuffs now invariably pre-
ferred lend themselves to draperies

the figure. Stripes in the Louis XVI.
style have come into favor, but with
them dresses are usually made in the
style of the period, with pointed cor
sages or habits with large lapels. The
.4odice is not uniformly encircled with
lace or muslin fiounces. IF, however,
these materials are used, the lace is
shaped and not made into gatheted
founces. The originality of a becom-
ing drapery is generally preferred or
