 of Sundry Things.
 The fall styles in skirts lean to Fancy Mixtures, especially in instep length skirts-the popularity of the mixtures will be shared by the Chew iots and the new ZibeIines.
 In longer skirts Broad Cloth. Examines, Crepe de Chimes and Peau de Soie will be popular.
 There is a Knit Underwear combine noW-That does not mean. so far as we are con- eerned, higher prices it may mean that later on. This is the word to the wise which reads, Buy your knit under wear here now at the old prices" "
 The comfort of a corset de- pendS considerably upon the way it's laced-Ihere should be two lacing strings, both terminating at the waist-one for bust facing, the other for the hips. The bust lacing should be drawn taut-the waist lacing loose, to get as near as possible the Greek outline. Remember that Maiden, thou hast a slender, slen-
 der waist"
 is quite out of style. By the way, tho the corset lace should be loose the bust must fall into the corset-no over hanging ridge at the top of the corset. That's not only not stylish, but sloppy and sloVenly, It takes a good corset to maintain decorum. Catch the point9 It is, that the fault is likely to be the corset's. Get the right cor set.
 Now that the silk peHicoat does double duty-that of petticoat and drop skirt, more are being sold. That either means economy, orbuyselab- ateness with money that used to buy an ordinary pet ticoat. Black will be the fav- orite in place of colors, all though those of black warp shot with red or blue or green or heliotrope, will be popu- lar-but not so exclusive as black.
 Laces are to be worn more this fall than ever, and if COminp events cast their shadows before them, then there's corroboration in the figures from England, which puts down exports of lace for 1902 at about So,000,000 "a million dollars more than 1901.
 Corsets for this fall will be much the same style as the past seasons, notwithstand- ing the rumors that the straight front will be no lon ger the favorite. The decree reads, Straight front, long hips and abdomen, short back and medium bust For the svelt of course there is an exception, for hip expan- sion is desired.
 In the game of style the women always beat the men, let a man borrow an idea from woman's style. and at once he would look ineffem- mate, womanish. But let fair woman appropriate an idea from man and it makes her look more womanly-for instance, the Princess Coat, which is nothing more nor less than an imitation of her brothers Prince Albert-in- deed, the fall styles reveal

hanson containing two young women,
ana driven by Walter Rowantree. turned
into Fifth avenue from Twenty eighth
street at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
AZ the same time a Fifth avenue stage
was coming down and Patrick Cafferty,
the driver. was forced to make sharp turn
to the left to avoid running down a pedes-
trian.
The pole Of the stage smashed through
the side window Of the cab, but the young
women jumped forward just In time TO
escape being struck. The hat OF one Of
them was knocked OF and wisp of her hair
was torn away by the hook of the pole.
The two young women only laughed.
The crash frightened the hanson horse
and he started to run away. When he
did the stage pole. which still stuck in the
side Of the hanson, acted as a lever and
almost overturned the stage
At this moment a pair OF horses which
were drawing n coupe down the avenue,
and which had been pulled up by their
driver, became unmanageable and smashed
into the stage. breaking a window and
showering bits OF glass on its occupants.
Tho arrival OF the coupe horses stopped
the hanson horse from pulling away,
but all five horses kept their heels flying
until Policemen Hotchkiss and Barnes
and some bystanders caught their brides
and quieted them.

NEW ORLEANSS FLOOD PERIL.
Gulf Winds Back the River Up-A Levee
Cut by Men From the Other Bank.

NEW ORLEANS. March 1.-THE high-water
situation here was greatly aggravated to-
day by q violent rainstorm. Several inches
of rain fel! in an hour and most Of the streets
in the business part Of the city were over
flowed.
The Mississippi rose TO 1913 feet. only
three-tenths Of foot below the maximum
Of 1897. The levee was topped with sacks
at Canal. jackson, Washington and other
streets.
The river is materially higher at New
Orleans and Memphis than at any other
places This is due at New Orleans to the
Gulf winds. which are keeping the water
back. and at Memphis TO the completion
Of the st. Francis levee in Arkansas. which
has kept all tho wat banked.
In consequence OF the Gulf winds. the
river is pouring over the ievees In the lower
part Of Plaquimine parish near its mouth.
There is little land under cultivation there
and little damage will he done.
The river Is also flowing over the levees
along the lower Iafourche. II Is now
determined that the Falgout crevasse at
Bayou Tafourche was due to the fact that
the levee WAS cut by people from the other
side Of the bayou who wanted to relieve
the pressure on their levees.
The Arlington levee at Baton Rouge.
which II was thought would break yes
terday. is still holding. Along the fazoo
front in Mississippi. the ievees have still
a margin Of six or eight feet. and no over
flow il expected.
In vicksburg the tracks OF the Yazoo
ard Mississippi Valley and the Alabama
and vicksburg railroads are imperilled by
the rising water. The water works plant
the two congresses and several oil mills
are ALEC in danger. and rise OF one foot
will, force them TO suspend.
The railroads are everywhere cooperating
with the levee boards to prevent an over
flow. On the west bank Of the river the
Texas Pacific has a train loaded with $4,000
sand haas. ready to move at a moments
notice to any place where the bags may
be needed to stop Q crevesse.
The levees are everywhere patroiled to
prevent their being cut. All driving on
the levees In prohibited, cattle are no
longer allowed to Craze on them and every
one is prohibited from approaching them
at night, the instructions 10 the guards
being to fire on all marauders.
