collar usually is worn over the jacket. IL
skirt and jacket are OF the same material,
the trimming on the skirt usually Is car
rird out on the bolero. There " one type
OF two-piece suit that is much liked, and
that may be oyerdone later, though there
is no danger for purchases made now.
That il the plain skirt and jacket OF the
initial picture here. The skirt may have

materials here. Velvet, taffeta and lace
covered silk are employed for such cuffs
and collar.
MORE silk In white, biscuit mauve,
gray or apple green is now made in bolsro
jacket suits that are Enthusiastically new.
The skirts usually are finished with tuck
ed Spanish hOunces headed with guipure
applique lace or insertion, or else are
finished with two or three circular ruffles.
The boieros are with basque effect all
around, have handsome embroidered vests
and fluffy fronts. The material is tuck
ed and strapped freely, and lace is used
literally. Fancy belts generally appear
on these. Another type Of silk jacket
is shown at the left in to-day's second
picture. for which ii was sketched in
gray green foulard dashed with white.
Skirt flounces and jacket had finish Of
narrow white silk soutache, and the lat

Beside this il still another sort of jacket.
White broadcloth was it's material, the
front was cream guipure and red wool
lace, and the bands were white tnffeta.
Like trimming was put on the skirt.
Though semi-transparent and even
thinner stuffs are unusually abundant In
all grades of dresses, the field in which
to find sheer fabrics at their finest Is
evening attire. Here the finest possibili-
ties of the gauze-like weaves are realized.
Plain and figured stuffs are chosen, with
embroidered and plain mousselines and
chiffons. organizes and crepe de chimes

fully trimmed with lace, embroidery,

THIS FROG WAS A CANNIBAL.

While hunting with camera" in
the forests of Nova Scotia, Mr.. G. win.
lam Beebe came upon an odd instance
of canniballsm, and secured an excel.
lent photograph of frog swallowing q
frog. The frog that tried to make a
meal of his fellow was a giant of his
species, and the other, who served as
the morsel Of diet, was of no mean size
Indeed, so large was the meal, that II
was beyond the partaker to encompass
1t, and he died while dining. Mr.. Beebe
who is In charge OF the department OF
ornithology of the New York Zoologi
cal Society, states that the pool IL

advantage. Wide sleeves give becoming
breadth to slender shoulders, and also
may be so managed as to make the waist
appear considerably smaller than it really
is. Frequently when the dress material
is very thin and delicate, instead of using
a silk lining, one of self-toned batiste Is
selected on account of it's extreme soft
ness. The bishop sleeve is still worn, but
the puff is much fuller. Undersleeves re-

Alton, ILL.,, boasts of thirty-three
unions. OF which twenty.seven were or
ganlzed by Joseph Giles, a printer and
an organizer for the American Fedora
ton of Labor. These thirty-three unions
have membership of $500. The vot-
Ing population of Alton Is about $500,
so the trades unionists practically con-
troll the city, -
BY unanimous vote Muncie Typo
graphical Union, No. 332, decided that
any of It's members who hereafter chew
non-union tobacco or smoke non-union
cigars shall be fined So, and that any
member guilty of being shaved by a
non-union barber shall be fined $50 for
each offense. 1t Is a sure thing that
Muncie printers will not be found

The question Of the age limit in force
on number Of railroads has caused q
good deal of discussion among labor
men since 1t was brought to the atten-
ton of the Chicago Federation of La
Dor the other day. Many of the unions
themselves discriminate against old
men, and set an age limit as low as
40 years. After that age men will not
be admitted as full-benefit members,
but are taken on payment of small dues
and given trade protection only. They
are denied all beneficial features which
the younger members are entitled to.
These rules have been In force In some
unions for forty years.
The census returns of factory life In
the United States for 1900 shows re-
markable increase in the employment
of women and children. Factory life Is
not the only phase of child labor. The
law for the prevention of employment
OF children under the restrictive age Is
daily and hourly being evaded and dis
regarded. False representations are
made by parents and guardians as to
their ages. Numberless accidents hap
pen to these infants, which result In
mutilation and death. This murder of
the fnnocents Is caused through the
poverty of the parents. and the avari.
ciousness of the employers. 1t is use
less to denounce either.
