ways in which one may dress for the

black cashmere hose with panels OF

as artistic dressing she will be very
careful not to draw the garters, which
are attached to the front of the corset,
too tightly. The side supporters she
will wear, as is customary, and the
hygienic enthusiast will probably have
nothing to say.
Next in order will be either knit
ted corset cover and knitted short
skirt or a muslin corset cover, prefer
ably cut off at the waist, and short
skirt or muslin or light flannel, as
taste or weather dictate.
Next she will put on the long petit
coat, which, if it is silk will require
frequent cleaning, or if it is desired
that it should be washable it may be
of pongee. The shoes will be medium
weight walking shoes.
Next in order is the walking skirt,
made of Scotch tweed, with seams
strapped with black braid and mar

The idyl OF the Arkansas hills, Human
Hearts" replete with interest, mirth and
pathos, will be presented at th Park op-
era house, Friday, March 2Sth, and no
lover OF the drama should fail to attend
the performance.
But few travelling companies carry go
much and elaborate scenery. No OK
pense has been spared in the effort to
make this performance in every way ar
tistically realistic. One breathes the at
mosphere of the simple farm life and
ones heart throbs with the sutferings OF
plain country folks who engage the at
tention by their homely ways and simple
nature.
The people OF this city and vicinity
will have the opportunity next Friday
to laugh away their cares and sympa-
thize with sorrow, if they go to see this

THE RETIRED PREMIER.

The retirement of Salisbury as
nremier of Great Britain was ac>
complished with little friction and
no manifestation OF hopeless sor-
row. Neither Pelee nor the mar
kets of the world went into convul>
sions over the event.
Salisbury as minister was not
OF the stamp of Disraeli, Gladstone
or even Roseberry. His passing
makes but the succession of one
conservative leader by another OF
the same party and a near relative
at that. Should the liberal party
break into power with the strong
Roseberry at its head there might
be something doing. AS it is, the
King is in truth the state, for the
controlling party is his creature.
Balfour has been lord OF the
treasury and there imbibed know
ledge of finance which should b.
his most valuable asset as premier.
He will have to meet and solve the
enormous war debt which Britain
has loaded upon herself in her dis
astrous campaign in South Africa
This will be huge problem. and
if Balfour and his cabinet do moi
get into deep water over it, they
will be deserving of a liberal write
up in history.
