ferent fancy shapes, the different suits OF
cards, hearts, diamonds and spades, con-

The broad girdle of one of these old fash
ioned gowns is of apple green SILK and but

eled buttons.
A very new coat comes from the far east
and is in Chinese mandarin style. 1t Is
made in the palest shade of blue and has

On the other hand, the bouquet of the
spring bride herself, may. express a superla-
tive simplicity, for, according to fashion
able florists, many have been ordered of
modest field flowers. Daisies, field carrots,
field phlox and .dogwood are some OF the
wild blooms which will be used They will
be mixed with asparagus fern in the usual
bridal bouquet way. More splendid fiow-
ers carried by other brides will be long
stemmed bride roses, the necessary dozen
tied together with satin bows with long
streamers.
AS to the Easter brides lingerie. the
edict has gone forth that 1t must be en-
tirely of washable materials. French lawn
is the texture most in favor for this dainty
underwear. which displays the most fairy
like hand embroideries, with fine lace trim
mings. In sets Of four pieces to match
night gown, skirt, chemise and drawers
all the best things are seen, each set tied
up with ribbons and boxed in a tempting
way. The petticoats are fluffy with founces,
but the sacque chemises have sometimes
only an embroidered edge and row of per-
forations for the ribbon draw strings.
Charming and inexpensive sets are made
OF American lawn, with trimmings Of point
desprit footing. The lawn is Of extra fine
ness, and, although such suits are not al
ways made by hand, as are the others, II
the models are carefully chosen, they are
good enough for anybody. The stitching
must be even, the tucks tiny, the lawn fairy
fine, and the lace edgihgs selected more for
quality than quantity. With such direction
always in mind. remember also that more
machine-made garments can be bought for
the same money than handmade ones; and
since a 'fastidious daintiness should be
the primal consideration, let the under por-
| tion Of the trousseau be lavishly supplied.
Several May trousseaux shown by
modish dressmakers include one or more
dresses of the new linen, superb with lace
and embroideres.

Brides OF Easter Mondny 70 ne NAhu
In Finest Lace.
NEW YORK, April 1O-with everything
in fashion tending toward an unprecedented
elegance, the bridal trousseaux fashioned
for spring wear reveal splendors never
seen before.
The rough curtain laces so much en-
ployed elsewhere are not in favor for these
dazzling frocks, though the brides mother,
even II she has reached so. may wear

imal The superiority OF this wool lace
over the cotton sorts Is that the threads
are shrunk before weaving. The patterns
are the same as in the cotton laces, and,
with the insertions whipped together in the
same way, the yak gowns are also built
ever foundations Of dead white chiffon and
silk The price OF such a costume, which
can be had ready made at several Of the
shops, is $3.50.
The BRIDES lace gown, which is shown
in robe form, the skirt all made to sewing
on the belt, and with an uncut piece for
the bodice, may cost anywhere from $65'
to $500. The cheaper dresses are not en-
tifey Of lace. The upper portions Of the
skirt and the larger part OF the waists
are generally of pearl-white mousseline.
Into this glisteninB textile, than which
nothing could be more simple for altar
use, duchesse borders and separate in
crustations are introduced, with sometimes
a fine silk cord running around or through
them, by way of accentuatlon. These
gowns, to achieve the cllnging effect de-
sired for moussellne materials are built
directly upon silk.
A striking altar gown of lerer applique
Is in robe form, fastening at the back with
small net-covered buttons. The train is
something shorter than the ultra fashion
able length. which is four yards. White
tulle shapes simple yoke and shoulder
puffs for the bodice.
The veil provided for this gown is Of
raw-edged tulle, in four-yard square. This

Then comes the vestida, the long train

usually allowed to trail at the left side.
When caught up out of the way 1t is passed
across the front of the body and fastened
to the belt on the right side. This vestida
is made of silk, satin or velvet, very rich,

DISEASE IN HAVANA.
Elaborate Precautions Taken by the
Medical Experts to Prevent
It's Spread.

Isolation as is isolation" is the
method of the Havana sanitary
authorities for the treatment of infec-
tious disease, reports the Philadelphia
Medical Record. Indeed, they are so
proud Of their system that they do not
hesitate to receive cases of yellow
fever into the city itself. When ship,
say from Vera Cruz, arrives with two
or three cases of yellow fever on board,
it is not anchored at some distance
from the city, and the miserable pas
sengers and crews compelled to Sake
all the risks of becoming victims OF
the disease and gradually dying one BY
one. On the contrary, the board OF
health sends its stretchers to the ship,
the patients are removed under mos
quito nettings to the observation or
yellow fever hospital, the ship is fum-
igated, the passengers observed for a
time, and finally discharged. So sat-
isfactory has this method been that
one of the sanitary officers declares
that yellow fever has been practically
stamped out in Cuba, because it is not
endemic on the island, and Havana
formerly the chief point of reception
and distribution.
If case of relapsing fever is dis
covered-and one was found recently
in sailors boarding house in Havana
the patient is removed to the conta-
gious hospital and isolated, while at
the same time the most energetic war
of determination is waged against the
miserable bed bugs in that particular
boarding house until every one is
destroyed, and thus, to the misfortune
of the scientific investigation of re-
lapsing fever. but to the great good
of the community, the case OF the
disease remains unique.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the able and energetic men who have
control of the sanitation of the city
of Havana. Not only do the city and
the island Of Cuba profit, but Cuba has
ceased to be source of menace to the
entire southern coast of the United
States, and it behooves us as Ameri-
cans, and, as we fondly believe. the
most advanced Americans, rsther to
copy that which they have of good, and
learn improved methods from them,
than to remain fatuously indifferent
| to all methods not inaugurated by our
| selves.

one OF the several Methods Employed
BY the Hawaiian Natives in
Talrins Mig Fish.

A preliminary report on an invest1-
gation of the fisheries of the Hawaii"
an Islands made BY David Starr Jor-
dan. president Of Leland Stanford
Junior university, and DR.. Barton W.
Evermann, ichthyologist of the United
States commission of fish and fisheries,
which is now made public in the form
Of departmental bulletin. contains
much interesting Information concern
ing the customs and methods OF fish-
ing Of the natives OF the island, says
the New York Times.
Probably the most interesting side
of the native fisheries revealed in the
report is that which relates to fishing
with hook and line and with the hands
The bonito is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used is OF mother-in-pearl, made
from the, shell of a mollusk now quite
rare which glistens with an iridescence
similar to the Skinner from the scales
of the smaller kinds Of fish on which
the bonito lives, no bait is needed. The
barb of these hooks il of bone, and two
tufts Of hogs bristles attached at right
angles to the barbed end keep the inner
side up, SO that the hook lies fiat on
the surface Of the sea. When likely
fishing ground has been reached the
fishermen, standing up in the canoe,
casts out his line violently 80 that the
hook falls with slap on the water and
attracts the attention Of the fish. The
line and hook are then drawn rapidly
toward the boat, as though it were .
spoon, and the bonito, taking the hook
to be small fish, rises to it immed-
lately. It is fortunate for the fisher
man that he has to waste no time in
batting his hook for this method OF
casting frightens the school and the
fish disappear within ten or Is minutes.
An ingenious plan BY which very large
fish are caught is by planting long
pole on the shore in such o position as
to cause it to lean decidedly toward
the water. On the top OF this bell
Is arranged to the pole close to the
top, and long line, with baited hook
at the end, is run through the block
and allowed to float out to sea, the
land end being tied in slipknot to the
bottom OF the pole. AS soon as hslh
il hooked it's struggles cause the Dell
to ring, whereupon the fisherman runs
to the pole, loosens the slipknot, and
plays the fish until he has drowned i,
when it is hauled ashore.
