NEW DRESS FEATURES.
A Few of the Taking Trifes That Are
In vogue for the Current
Season.

Hats made entirely of coarse lace
are strapped with bands and buckles
of straw.
Swinging cords, frogs, bradenburgs,
buttons, fancy gimps and similar mil
itary effects are used on many of the
spring jackets, coats and basque bod
ices.
A gown framework of butchers
linen is almost entirely inset with
coarse thread lace, the lace wrought
upon with cream wool and dotted with
little knots of black wool.
OF all the materials that are used
for children's frocks and coats there
is none more universally becoming
than velvet, and by velvet is meant as
well corduroy and velveteen.
White pongee gowns are to be in
great demand, for white again leads
in colors, and white pongee coats and
cloaks are also fashionable and are
certainly newer than the natural color.
The under petticoat is no longer the
clumsy garment it used to be, but is a
dainty trifle. 1t is fitted to the waist,
the hips and even to the knees-in fact,
there is just room to take a long step
in it.
A gown of white silk has every seam
joined with open rows of the ever
present grape in white passementerie.
At the bottom of the skirt the silk is
cut in square tabs over plated nous
seline and in the center of each tab
is bunch of the grapes.
In place of the conventional en-
broidery and stitching on silk waists
there are to be seen on some of the
new ones cloth applications in curves,
crescents and cabochons of different
shade from the silk Cloth flowers are
also set upon mousseline and gauze
waists.

Souvenirs of Great NoveIi.ta.

The Victor Hugo museum on Place
des Vosges, Paris, will be opened
when President Loubet returns from
Algeria. A French clerk who gets s36
month, returning from Hugo's funer-
al, saw in a crockery shop cheap
plate with Hugo's photograph print
ed on it. He bought it, and that plate
was the nucleus of the Hugo museum,
which contains 500 relics of the great
writer. The collection is made up of
plates, soap, perfumery, saucers, bot
ties, tobacco pouches, charms, etc.,
all souvenirs of Victor Hugo contrib
uted by the common people

TALKED LIKE LUNATICs.
Eat They Were SaneIy Engaged In an
Imaginary Game of
Chess.

At small station few miles out
If New York a middle aged woman
with basket on her arm stepped
on the train. She paused moment at
the door of the car to take look at
the seats as if to select one, where
there would be plenty of room for her
basket. Then she walked half way
down the aisle and sat in seat just in
front of two respectable looking gen
tlemen with white hair and whiskers,
relates the New York Times.
For awhile all was quiet. Presently
one of the men behind her said some
thing to the other in low voice. Then
the woman heard the other say:
"All right; pawn to kings fourth"
The one who had first spoken re-
piled: Same; pawn to kings fourth p
Kings knight to bishops third" I"
answered the other, who had a remark
ably deep voice.
The woman seemed to think that
something must be the matter, for she
looked around uneasily, first over one
shoulder and then over the other
Queens knight to bishops third
This time it was the man with the or
dinary voice who spoke
Bishop to bishops fourth" came
the reply in deep tones
The woman seemed still more un-
easy; she shifted around in her seat,
seized the handle of her basket, and
started to get up. Before moving,
however, she looked around again, and.
her curiosity apparently getting the
better of her, she resumed her seat,
evidently with alert ears
kings knight to bishops third"
"Queen's pawn to queens third
Again it was the deep-voiced man
speaking.
The woman was able to contain her
self no longer. She excitedly seized
the arm of the conductor who was
passing along the aisle.
They're crazy" she cried, "watch
'em! They keep on mumblin bout kings
and queens and bishops and castles,
and lots o. other things that haven't
got no sense in 'em! Hold 'eml Have
'em put off"
With this she seized her basket fran
tically and darted across the aisle to
another seat, keeping the astonished
conductor between herself and the two
gentlemen. The conductor gazed at
her a few moments in mute wonder,
thinking. apparently, that she was the
one who lacked mental balance. Then

The Kaiserin keeps herself rigidly
to her fixed plan of living. She drinks
hardly anything. It was noticed at the
opening of the Lette Haus at Berlin
recently that, though she ate hearty
lunch, she drank nothing. She is most
careful what she eats, in spite of
healthy appetite. Potatoes, sugar and
bread have no part in her bill of fare.
As TO exercise. Her Majesty is inde-
fatigaDle. II the weather is too bad to
go out for riding or walking, she
makes the round of the palace upstairs
and downstairs several times a day.
Some one YVES heard to ask lately, on
the occasion of the Kaiserin mounting
four flights of long stone steps, why
lift had not been provided-especially
as Her Majesty, in her capacity of

ing often. The reply was-by lady
who know the Kaiserln-"Oh. that is

The Bane of Company Manners"

In many homes, otherwise charming.
there exists the demorali2ing effect OF
two sets of manners-courteous and de-
lightful behavior to visitors and i'll
tempered speech and actions between
the different members of the family.
The world does not realize how really
unhappy that family is. Judging from
It's company manners" that home is
veritable abode of bliss.
The mother is woman of culture.
She knows just what to say and how to
say It, No woman can excel her in
gliding across a room and sinking
gracefully into a chair. Her little boys
can tip their hats so prettily to ladies
on the street; her little girls can enter
room with toes properly turned out
and with the grace of little queens. And
both the little boys and the little girls
can be as impertinent and display the
worst manners imaginable. They liter
ally fight among themselves. They are
not taught to be polite to each other.
Their mother seldom favors them her
own properly chosen words and grace
full manners when they are alone with
her. Discord reigns until the door-bell
rings and then the entire household
must put on good manners.
There are homes in which it seems
that every member of the household is
bent on seeing how hateful and disa-
greeable it was possible to be. The
mother would speak in a nagglng,
fretful tone; the father "orders every
body around"
Usually in such homes company
manners" shine their brightest. The
general rule of courtesy to all at all
times has no foothold there. Where
there should be harmony, there is pre-
tense and unhappiness.-New York
American.

The First Newspaper.

There has been considerable contro-
versy of late years as to which country
should be conceded the honor of print
ing the first regular newspaper. Claims
have been successfully put forward
for Italy, France, Germany, England
and Holland, and all with some degree
of plausibility, but 1t appears from
recent researches that neither one of
these is entitled to the distinction, and
that precedence should be given to
Belgium. 1t has been established by
the antiquaries that a certain Abra-
ham Verhoeven, of Antwerp, obtained
from the Archduke and Duchess AL
bert and Isabelle the privilege Of print
ing news sheet. AS the first German
paper appeared in 1915 at Frankfort,
the first Dutch paper in 1917. the first
English paper, the Weekly Gazette, in
1922, and the first French paper in
1881, it would seem that Antwerp's
claims have some foundation. and that
the Belgian city initiated what has be-
come one of the most influential fac
tors in modern life and progress. On
the strength of this 1t Is proposed to
hold a great tercentenary celebration
in Antwerp some time during the year
1905.

An Attractive Costume.


Simple waists always possess an in
herent charm and are essentially
smart. The attractive May Manton
model illustrated in the large drawing
Is shown in peau de cynge, In reseda
with stitchings of corticelli silk in a
darker shade, is trimmed with drop
buttons of openwork silver and makes
part of an entire gown; but the design
suits all gown and waist materials, the
odd bodice as well as the costume.
The foundation lining Is smoothly
and snugly fitted and closes at the CEN
tire front. The waist proper consists
of plain back and deeply tucked
fronts and closes iDvisibly beneath the
tuck TO the left of the centre, in con-
form'ty with the accepted style of the
season. The back Is drawn down at
the waist line but the fronts blouse
slightly over the belt. Over the shoul-
der seams are applied pointed straps
that fall over the sleeves and give the
long shouldered effect. The sleeves are
full and are finished with pointed cuffs.
At the neck Is stock that is cut to q
point ut the centre front.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards
twenty-one inches wide. three and
