there will be heavy flower and fruit de-
signs, these shaping a set pattern tor
collars, cuffs and vest pieces. In the In
%Bertion, which are much used In four-ineh
widths, the Shamrock is a frequent de-
sign, the emblematic leaf showing up beau
tifully thick and close against the fairy
backgrounds. In truth, never was crochet
carried to such a point OF perfection as in
these laces, and commonplace as the name
sounds, the pieces are treasures to be priced
forever, For, OF course you know, Irish
crochet cannot be bought by the yard, 1t
comes in gown lengths-pieces OF ten yards
usually-all Of which must be taken by a
single purchaser, who is lucky indeed II
she gets the chance TO do her bargaining
on the other side. Bought directly at the
Ballyshannon convent, considering the toll
and time 1t has taken to make II, this
wonderful lace seems ridiculously cheap,
But once II has passed the customs and
gone into a New York shop, II is the priv
ilege of the few. A pattern Of unusual
loyeliness-great pond lilies tangled in with
the most fragile webbing-cost on its ma
tive heath but $12.
And now with this preliminary, let me
tell you Of a love of n house frock lavish
with Ballyshannon crochet. The dream"
had come from Paris for the special adorn-
ment Of a bride in the smart set, who like
wise includes in her trousseau some charm
ing stockless waists. Satin crepe de chene,
In q rich ivory white, was the material OF
the gown, which was made with a princess
back and belted front. over this the fronts
OF the outside hung loose at the waist, with
a band OF the lace edging, then stole
fashion to the bottom OF the gown. There,
two bias foot ~founces were headed with the
entire deux. whose passion flower design
was repleated in shaped pieces on the
bodice portion Of the garment, One of
these outlined a jaunty bolero effect, topped
by a deep rolling collar. and two others
formed an edge for the flowing sleeves.
The top Of the sleeves were in a short
pun, from which the lower sections fell
In a shaped ~founce. elbow length.
A delightful detail of the Jacket arrange
ment was a bias scarf Of pale blue velvet
which encircled the body under the arms
and knotted in a bunchy rosette at the bust
This blot of color also appeared in a crust
belt holding down a full vest. Tiny tucki

whistling teacher, who is probably the only
person in the world who has a method Of
whistling and who teaches according to a
theory, relates the Chicago Chronicle. In
deed, he is the only person who at present
makes the teaching of whistling a pro-
fession. Robert G.. Balm says there is
music in a good whistle. He does not
refer to cat calls nor to freak whistling.
He whistles just as a singer sings and he
whistles good music. He is this winter
filling an engagement in one of the south
side Congregational churches.
1t is not everyone who can learn to
whistle. You have to have a whistle to
begin with. Unless you can compass an
octave with your whistle you cannot be-
come one Of Mr.. Bain's pupils. II you
can carry a tune In the beginning and are
willing to study there is no reason why
you should not be a professional whistler
and have a place on church programs,
In beginning his Lesson Mr.. Balm teaches
correct breathing. In spite Of the singing
teachers protests 1t is true that the
whistler breathes quite as correctly and II
possible more advantageously than does
the average singer. 1t is impossible to
whistle well unles you breathe we'll,
1t is not true, as an eastern whistler
said not long ago, that the change of tone
is procured by the opening and closing Of
the lips. Miss Louise Truax, who recently
astonished the congregation Of the Lex
lngton Avenue Baptist church of New York
by whistling a solo at the morning service,
says she doesn't know how she does 1t,
No one taught her to whistle; she Just
began. She thinks she opens her mouth
very wide for the low notes, but she Is not
sure of that.

More Advice TO Richmond.

Tidewate1. has gained a victory IN the
passage of the ter-centenary bill IN ooth
houses OF the Legislature. Some bitter
ness has characterized the controversy
over this matter between Richmond ana
Tidewater. But now that the question
has been settled, it E'shooves Richmond
and every other section of the State TO
fall into line and by hearty cooperation
make the celebration a grand success.
There is time enough to formulate plans
and perfect all preliminary arrangements
before 1907. But it is not too soon to be-
gin if we would have a celebration worthy
of the historic event to be commemor-
atel. 1t will require money. and great
deal of it to carry out the enterprise. IN
dividuals and corporations unalded are
not equal to the occasion. The State
will have to be called on for liberal
appropriation and an appeal will have TO
be made to the Federal Government.
Richmond naturally will feel some dlsap-
pointment at the result of the contest with
Underwater, but that DISAPPOINTMENT
ought not to cool the ardor OF Richmond
in promoting the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

he had the same stock of pluck and push,
and with this as capital. set out for the

ness in the metropolis, but in the panic
OF 1877 he failed. He managed, however,
to pay off all his debts. with interest,

without capital. He hired a room at

death he owned one OF the largest and

Mr. Rouss was almost totally blind. but

There is great deal of talk in this day
