The wide latitude in the fashions
gives woman an ample opportunity.
and she can select her own most be-
coming style, whether IL be the Ian.
guorous robe Of Porto Rico or the snug
one Of Paris the long gown Of Havana
or the short beaded one Of Hawaii.
A woman who brings home with her
from Europe every year n handsome
ornament has this season rather odd
bit which she picked up at an antique
sale. 1t is supposed to have belonged

And It's material is all gems and silver
1t is a great bird, a big silver eagle,
looking so much like an American
eagle. And it is made with it's wings
and breast studded with gems. This
big bird is appliqued 10 the gown in
such a manner that he faces you with
breast all cleaning, and with wings as
brilliant as little diamonds and rubies
galore can make them.
1t is an odd fashion season that per

waist Of n handsome white liberty

yesterday he would probably have as

many lives as a cat. He had an ex-

Asiatic animals when abroad and
brings them here FOR the New York

three round trips n year, and usually
brings in specimens OF more than or.

other instant there was yell from the
bridge. and the figure OF the officer
came flying down the port companion
way TO the deck. Ii did not take long
for the crew 10 discover the state of
affairs and 10 tumble below. The
Chinese cook. who was passing along
the deck with n tray Of rice. dropped
the tray. and, sprinting into the galley,
locked the door. Captain Golding tried
To get a blight of line around the
snake, but the python was alert and
