More and more Is IL a delight to gaze
upon the domestic underwear and less
and less does the woman of real chic
find 1t a necessary to invest in imported
lingerie A buyer says that domestic
toilers are now doing work which COM
pares favorably with that which has
made famous the converts of the old
word and especially of France. We
owe this to the improved taste of the
American woman. Even those who
used to consider themselves and oh air
children lavishly dressed because they
were smothered In yard after yard of
machine made embroidery and lace.
now demand better things. And they
may have them ready made without
paying the price asked for the import
ed.
To be sure some of the petticoats
show deep embroidered Hounces. But
these flounces are not of the cheap
heavy embroidery with which counters
were heaped a few years ago, but rath-
er are they of the deep sheer material
such as our grandmothers and great
grandmothers delighted to embroider.
Furthermore. the embroidery has quite
the delicate beauty of the old pieces
which many of us treasure. And here
in these fine flounces we find the now
stupendous favorite the grape. The
vine with its delicate veined leaves
fourishes as IL may, the great clusters
hang as richly full as they now do in
many an arbor.
And there's new kink to these
flounces as noted in q particularly
stunning lot just opened in a great
store. Whether fine embroidered the
flounce be one deep one, or composed
of three leach fulled on to the one
above). It falls over an under rufe
edged with lace! You've no idea how
rich this is unless you have seen It..
The lace, even though It does not show
to speak Of gives the sheer embroidery
an exquisite not to say sumptous look.
The effect is as that of a plain dress
worn over the daintiest of under
things. These are among the most
fetching dress petticoats.
On night gowns and the various
smaller pieces the fine points are
even more noticeable, because less
adornment Is required. One exquisit-
ly simple gown for instance shows
fine tucks TO the yoke depth. At the
neck and sleeves there are collar and
cuffs of embroidery, not an edge bent
into shape, but artistic little bits
formed for the purchase. One would
never credit this exquisitely simple
gown to any save the placid nuns in
their convent quietude.
Another gown, with a simple Val.
edge at the wrists and square neck,
shows an equally admirable departure.
Inltead of the insertion OF embroi-
derry being mltered at the corners the
Square.shaped strip is embroidered in
the original piece. It's Just these little
things that make these domestic
pieces bits of true art instead of or
dinary underwear in wholesale guam
| titles.
Still other pieces show inset bits
of finest embroidery. A gown, chemiso
CT corset cover that of yore might
have had big yoke or other top ar
rangement cut out Of solid en-
| broidery now shows a fascinating in
| set with delicate spray embroidered
| thereon. These insets are In varla-
tions Of the medallion shape.-Phil-
| adelphia Record.

Sill. Foundation Slim.

A well cut foundation, one that fits
smoothly over the hips, can be worn
with any skirt. BY making them sep
arately there is curtailment of ex-
penditure in slips. also a reduction in
the amount of luggage a woman must
carry about when travelling. Two
smart short silk slips for wear with
linen, serge or homespun are enough.
It is a good idea to have some extra
founces to button on to these slips on
occasion. A deep flounce of muslin and
valenciennes lace might for example
be alternated with less elaborate ruf
fle of silk.

Arrangement Of hook Shelves.

Books have many appreciative trib-
utes from the master minds of all
ages. One phase of their usefulness
that appeals in very practical man
ner to home makers Is the help they
give in furnishing the house. When
this fact becomes more generally rec
ognized and better understood there
will be freer and more generous dis
tribution of books through all the diff
erent rooms. A room filed with books
of reference, sets of standard authors
and collections of miscellaneous writ
ing is too exclusively a literary work
shop for the ordinary household. IL
is better adapted for the use of the
professional worker, who must iso-
late himself among surroundings and
with appliances that will carry him
forward in his cereer. The charm OF
the modern living-room is its informal
concentration of the family interests.
Books, magazines and papers may form
n large share of the attractive quail
ties Of this room. A corner for writ
ing may be established with a table
or desk well lighted for evening use.
Shelves for the books may be built
against the walls or hung from the pic
ture moulding. Small stands for hold
ing magazines. and comfortable chairs
drawn near the windows, will add to
the pleasures afforded by reading,
while the books themselves form a
specific part in beautifying the room,

SOUTH CAROLINA DISGRACED
Tillman and McLaurin Have Fist
Fight In the Senate.

Washington. Feb. 22.-The most SEN
sational scene that hos been enacted
on the floor of tho Senate during the
present generation was witnessed this
afternoon by many senators and by
wondering and crowded galleries. The
central figures we're the two senators
from South Carolina. Tiliman, in the
course of speech on the Philippines,
declared, when pressed by Spooner to
name his man, announced that his col
league had been Influenced by improp-
er motives to vote for the ratification
Fef the Spanish treaty. Senator Nc
Lanrin was attending committee
meeting at the time and was sent for,
and at the conclusion of Tillman's re-
marks, arose to reply. AS McLaurin
rose from his seat the silence was pro-
found and tense. He said, in quiet,
deliberate tones, that he would be less
emphatic in his remarks were it not
for the fact that he had hereto
fore uttered specific and full denial of
his colleagues declarations. AS 1t was
he would say that the statement of his
colleague was w,lfhl, deliberate and
milicious lie. At this Tillman rnshed
toward his colleague, who was stand
ing only four or five seats away, leap
ing over the knees of Senator Teller.
McLaurin scarcely moved muscle
until Tillman threw himself upon him,
and then he returned blow for blow
Will
several strong men interviewed and
ended the alteration.
At the instance of Senators Foraker
and Burrows the Senate then went
into executive session, during which,
by unanimous vote, both Senators
were held tC be in contempt. The
doors we're then thrown open and the
two senators, by vote of the body,
were allowed to make u statement
which would tend to purge them of
their contempt.
Tillman's talk was largely to the
effect that he had never before had
any experience in legislative bodies
when he came here and at times failed
perhaps to carefully observe parlia-
mentary usage.
McLaurin began his statement by
saying that he had been sorely tried.
He told of his being in the committee
room when message was brought to
him from friend in the Senate telling
him what Tillman had said of him.
He did not see how he could have act
ed otherwise, but certainly meant. no
disrespect to the Senate, and did not
feel that any Of his actions or words
had merited rule of contempt. Nc
Laurin started another sentence which
was to the effect that il he heard any
more talk Of that nature, but did not
conclude. Asenator interrupted him.
The whole matter has been referred 70
the elections committee.

COREA's TROLLEY ROAD.
Operated and Equipped by Ameri-

From Cassier's Magazine.
1t was In the autumn Of 1895 that the
first sod was turned for the building Of

an official opening took place, a car was

enterprise, so far as the construction and
operation were concerned. seemed assured.
The cars We're run by Japanese motormen

At the end of the week a child standing

from carrying out their plans in that di-

Immediately after this episode the rum
ming Of the road was discontinued. the
management concluding that. for a short
time at least. foreigners would have to take
entire charge of the plant in order to insure
the success Of the enterprise. Late in the
summer Of 1888. therefore, the road was
again put In service with American opera

cidents have occurred, occasionally fol-

and the railway Is beginning to be looked
upon as necessity. The road fs about
nine miles long. with three-foot six-inch
