As the stage bound for Washing ton Camp, the mining camp in Santa Cruz county, was approach ing its destination last Wednesday 1t was held up and robbed by lone highwayman in the most approved up-to-date fashion The passengers were lined up on the outside of the coach and forced at the point of a gun to disgorge their money and valuables- He was a gentlemanly scoundrel, deploring the passengers lack of money. It seems that there are two stages on that route and that one of them carries mail and express matter exclusively. The robber evidently intended to hold up the former. but made a mistake in the time of its arrival.

A thick soft silk for underwear and
nightgowns is Of new Japanese make.
It is also used for handk kerchiefs.
For evening wear separate lace
waists made entirely Of Irish crochet
are fashionable. They are of fine
workmanship and expensive.
Velveteen shirt waists in colored
prints as we'll as solid colors are worn
with shirt waist suits, and it is said
that these will be fashionable for the
cool spring months.
Some of the cuffs and stocks are of
the solid tucl2ing, others with groups
of tucks and others have groups Of
tucks running around the cuffs and
none on the stocks.
Some Of the waist with elbow sleeves
have the sleevs made entirely Of the
tucking, no more of it appearing on the
waist. These sleeves just turn the ell
bow, and are finished with a little
frill of lace or embroidery.
A pretty muff for evening wear is
a dainty creation in velvet violets,
which cover the front in a pretty mass
of color. The muff is edged with deep
ruf11es of violet satin ribbon and
trimmed with a large bow Of violet
tulle.
Pocketbooks and handbags were new
er more attractive. The most exqui-
| site ones are Of ooze leather, with a
| single stone set in the button clasp.
| Again the beaded and brocade purses,
| with either gold or silver mountings,
are among the extreme novelties.
! Hats continue to be built broad and
fiat, and the toques of fur with low
velvet crowns are deemed very modish.
One of sable has white shirred velvet
crown, and underneath the brim which
| turns up at one side is a large white
camellia. Tule and fur is another
/ favorite combination.
It is said that the coronation period
in England will bring out many Vic
torian styles in English low hats, with
ribbons, sashes and long strings. Fol-
the sash effects the eighteen-inch soft
finish materials will be used. A few
of these low crowned hats have al
ready been worn in this city. -

People Who Attend Funerals.

"Of course, at the bier Of dead
friend the family does not care to make

in Washington who has attended as
many as three funerals in single
day. She evinced the same Interest
at each, and believe me when I say
that although she was not connected
with any Of the families, she actually
cried and took on as if each dead
person had been her nearest loved one
"Undertakers know these women
and many of them have tried to pu
a stop to the morbid practice, but it il
one that is hard to contend with. 1

THE uNYAWNED YAWNS.

A nitying world has blubbered long
n,ar the unkissed kiss and the unsung
And the unthunk thought, not dead, yet
Put never has wept for the unyawned
yaWn.
You have met, perchance, with the chronic
bore
Who tells you the tales he has told be-
you have tried to smile as he maun-
dered on, H.
And you've nearly burst with an un-
yaWned yawn.
Or the youth who comes six nights in
seven,
And woos the maiden till half-past 'leven.
Who Who sits. as she thinks, "Will he stay till
dawn"
On the safety-valve of an unyawned yawn.
or vou've gone. perchance, to dine in state,
Some new-found Webster to hear crate.
You've pounded the table and said Go
On!"
And inwardly groaned with an unyawned
yaWn.
And at church - but here 'twould be
wrong, you know,
tt YOU can't stay awake in church don't
Ey'n here oue's thoughts may be far with
drawn,
And the frame conyulsed with an un-
yawned yawn.
And vet. as our men of science say
There is nothing that's lost, or wastes
away,
Somewhere in the yawning depths of space
All the unyawned yawns may have found
their place.

New York's Bogus Dressmakers.

Fire flashes in the eyes Of the COM
palmer, and the girl at the desk was
equally wrathy..
We have looked you up" she said,
"and find that you are not bona-fide
dressmaker and therefore not entitled
to discount
What do you call a bona-fide dress
maker?' demanded the complainer.
"a person who does something be-
sides home sewing" said the girl at
the desk. "a person who has at least
one regular customer, besides her
mother and sisters and aunts.''
The complainer was so mad that all
she could say was, ''I'll see about this. -
Then she stalked away.

suppose she'll put the blame all on
me-" she said, 'but it isn't my fault
am only obeying orders. And, any
way, she isn't really a dressmakeI
and has no more right to a discount
than you have. She does all their
home sewing, and perhaps makes q
waist now and then for a friend, but
| that doesn't make a dressmaker out OF
her, according to our ways Of think
