MEN IN LIVERY
The Custom of Having Footmen and But
IAre Ie Hro>uinn

The Custom of Having Footmen and But
lers Is Growing.
Minneapolis will present quite a met
ropolitan appearance this spring if some
people carry out their plans. The city is
well known for the beauty of it's carriages
and teams and the crowning touch will
be given to the turnouts when they ap-
pear with two on the box. Hovey
Clarke already has footman perched in
front of his brougham and occasionally
P. B. Hunt and Thomas Lowry have
second man. but they do not keep him on
the box for all occasions
Thomas Lowry was the first man in the
city to employ footman, several others
followed his example at various intervals,
but never for long at a time. Life moves
rather informally in Minneapolis and a
footman adds a touch of dignity SO smart
as to be conspicuous, and after season
he usually descends from his box to find
other employment.
The severe cold which Minnesota ex-
periences in the winter does not allow the
coachmen to present a smart appearance
during at least three months Of the year,
and they are so muffed in furs that one
cannot see what livery they wear. With
the first spring days the furs are put away
and the men emerge resplendent in their
long coats and high hats.
Perhaps the smartest turnouts seen
on the avenue are tnOSe or EiOVey u.

Dusen, and c. G. Goodrich. Mr. Clarke.
Mr.. Van Duzen and Mr.. Goodrich have
green liveries; Mr. Lowry and Mr.. Har-
rington, ,spurple; while Mr.. Lambs man
wears blue, The question Of color is
rather important, for after it is once
adopted it should never be changed.
1t will probably be some time before
the light colored breeches and high boots
are adopted in Minneapolis, where the
grooms and footmen wear trousers the
color of their coats. These coats are
made of livery materials, species of
worsted cloth, and the buttons match the
metal of the harness. The man should
not wear jewelry any more than the
housemaid and he also should aim to pre-
sent trim appearance.

INTERESTING FEMININE POINTERS.

The Lady's Pictorial, In noting the
statement in an American paper that It
had discovered the abolition Of middle
age by the modern woman, says that the
discovery had already been made in Eng
land some time ago. Where it is possible
for woman, without being ridiculous,
to retain her youthful appearance, says
this publication, surely it: is perfectly
justifiable for her to endeavor to do so.
Not by juvenility Of dress or manner, for
this defeats its own object. but by MAIN
tanning as far as in her lies the CHEEKY
optimism and light-heartedness Of youth,
and a lively sympathy with and interest
in the younger of her own sex.
It pays. matrimonially, to be an actress
In Germany. Some statistician has dis
covered that fully 60 per cent of the va
riety actresses and dancers on the Ger
man stage marry above their station, and
20 per cent marry titles. Dancers are
the most successful. as only 10 per cent
apply for relief from the sick or INDECENT
funds, while Of serious actresses 45 per
cent are compelled to accept charity.
Only 5 per cent of the actresses who Of
late years have married have been di-
vorced, and the proportion among dancers
is only one-half of 1 per cent. Not less
than thirty eight counts have ex-dancers
for wives.

as fifty-cent piece. OF course, there
is q certain amount Of f1uffiness in the
lawn dresses which does not appear in
the linen effects The trains are inclined
to be longer and the gown fits the figure
more neatly. The idea of the skirts is
to assist in every way to bring out the
Venus-like form In the wearer-a style
of figure all the rage to-day.
Waists, though many of them are very
simple, with but a slight blouse in front,
III others run to a more elaborate form.
The simulated coffee effect is considered
very good. The handkerchief waist is
another pleasing novelty. In most Of
these models the yoke is plainly outlined.
The lawn gown, like the linen effect, has
appeared in the lace-inserted style this
season, and some very attractive num-
bers are seen. showing wide inserted bands
of Cluny or some other handsome lace.
Quite a pretty idea is to insert the skirt
with bands Of this lace at equal distances
and then to relieve the lower part of the
self-tucking. This form is also carried out
in the waist.
Attractive as miladi's suit may be. she

her parasol and her footwear are all in
keeping. On her feet she will wear either
leather shoes. or else white silk hose with
white kid or canvas. ties. The ordi,1a ~
black shoe will soil the edge of the skirt,
and for this reason is never worn. On
her hands white silk gloves or lace lnitts
are the proper thing.
The parasols of this season for such
costumes are naturally those that har-
1norlize best. White chiffon effects elab-
orately tucked and plated and showing
overhanging edges are very modish. The
coaching, however, fancily trimmed is
also considered stylish. The trimming or

in black lace. Narrow velvet ribbon is
new idea and insures a pleasing effect.

mirror which tells the truth with frank
ness not always acceptable and to tho
suave words OF her mistress. who is dplo-a
matte enough to know that compliment
will accomplish what a request will not
always bring to pass.
The plain black gown is no longer con-
sidered the proper thing for maid or
waitress to wear, even at smart dinners
and evening functions. The white wash
dress has superseded it and it certainly is
ffesher and cleaner. Nearly all fashions
have common sense origin, If one goes
back far enough and it is easier for a
maid to wash white gown than to clean
a black wool suit.
In some of the pretentious eastern
homes the maids can be told by the color
of the gown they wear during the day.
One woman has all of her feminine serv-
ants In pink, with Of course, the white
aprons, caps and sometimes the sleeves.
Another will adopt blue and a third may
select green as the color Of her establish

any great~eXtent in Minneapolis, and Mrs. !

an who has uniform color on all of her
maids. They wear gowns Of gray, rather

morning, but after luncheon they are usu
ally to be seen in white.
These white gowns are of a heavy lawn
and they are made severely plain The
waists are Of the shirt waist order. If
the gowns are of duck or some heavier
material, a linen collar and sometimes
turn-back linen cuffs are worn, but a
lawn waist has plain stock Of the same
material, and rather close sleeves. A
waitress endangers too many things with
large sleeves to wear them with any COM
fort to herself or to those whom she
serves.
Although any color may be chosen for
the morning print gown, it should be a
pattern that looks clean and fresh. Pink
and striped blue and white are especially
desirable. The entire gown may be ma
chine made and the plain skirt is finished
with a deep hem. The waist Is loose and
easy and Is generally buttoned with small
pearl buttons. The sleeves are close and
gathered into small cuff. The apron
worn with these print gowns Is without
bib or bretelle, and extends nearly to the
hem of the skirt. The strings are long
enough to tie in the back with a full bow
and ends. The cap is a three -cornered

parallel bands, although some skirts SIM
ply show a very wide;t single band with
the front Of the V slightly below the knees.
This lace band is usually edged with one
or more tuclSs Of about an inch in width,
while the bands measure from eight to
ten inches in the main.
Another style quite g little seen is the
fancy galloon effect applied OH. In this
edge Of the galloon is at the upper instead
of the lower edge.

most as plain as the skirts. though in
some cases a trif1e. more ornamena ton

large and full on the bishops order. The
sleeve, like the rest Of the garment. is a
happy combination ofalace with the body
material. In some of the .swellest models
the entire full lower sleeve is of lace, as
is also the tight cuff.
A rather novel feature expressed in
some or the gowns is a cape OF sell
material. This is collarless and in some
original models has the general effect
of separate cape..s 1t may be adorned
with the lace, or then again French knots
are used as a trimming.
The yoke Of lace is usually so con-
strueted as to show the skin of the wear
er underneath, giving a pretty and sum
merry effect to the garment. These suits,
as a rule, are very little lined; in fact,
their very nature precludes the possible
ity Of any such treatment. The collars,
however. when made of lace are some
times slightly stiffened with featherbone
or some such light material.
The lawn dresses of this season are in
deed beautiful in their simplicity. The
majority. like the linen effects. are very
little trimmed. but depend on the n1atsria

A NEW METHOD OF
PLANTING SWEET PEAS
Miss Echo Simmons Outdoor Planting
Seasonal Fine Early New Pink and
White Variety. -

Miss Echo Simmons whose success as
grower of sweet peas is we'll known to all
Minneapolis gardeners and those specially
interested in flowers is authority for a new
and important method in outdoor sweet
pea culture. She got her information
from Karl Strahle, a fine German flor
list, and gave it thorough trial last year
with great success. Previously Miss Sim
M had always been a strong advocate
of transplanted peas, but the new meth
DDS results have converted her to the be-
lief that fine results can be obtained by
both indoor and outdoor planting and that
it Is wise to use both.
Outdoor planting will not give the earli-
est blossoms, but Miss Simmons found
that the plants produced by the new
method bloomed several weeks later in the
fall. Also, that the stems late in the
season, when the transplanted ones were
short, continued as long and fine as ever
and in Blanche Burpee, a pure white, the
blossoms were lovelier than those Of the
transplanted ones.
Now, for Miss Simmons recently tested
method. She says: dig a trench 19
inches deep, put In 6 inches Of horse ma
nure, either fresh or just beginning to
heat, tread down to 8 inches. cover with
