The Mormon Settlements in MEXICO
In Them PoIySamy is Pracficed Without
 Any Attempt al ConceaIment.

Polygamy among the Mormons of the United States is thing of the past, in so far as the open practice of the creed is concerned. The passage of the anti-polygamy act, better known as the Edmunds act, accomplished this fact. But this does not mean that the practice has been abandoned in Amer ica.
 I believe it is safe to say that the followers of the Mormon religion are, as whole, as sincere in the belief in their creed as the members of any oth- CT religious faith in the United States, and those who practiced polygamy did so only as religious duty. When the Edmunds act became a law, there were three courses open to these Nor mons who had been living poly gamous lives; first, the man with two or more wives might cease marital relations with all except one, obeying the law in good faith; second, he might en-

deavor to continue those polygamous relations clandestinely, taking his chances of arrest and imprisonment, or, third, he might remove his several families to some locality where the Edmunds law did not apply.
 Many Mormons naturally rebelled at the thought of abandoning any of their wives; they were also too hon. est to secretly disobey the law, so there was but one course left open to them, to leave the jurisdiction of the United States. Their eyes naturally turned to Mexico, and representa- atives of the church were dispatched to the City of Mexico to make investiga tions.
 Assurances were received from the government there that if the polyga- nous Mormons colonized in that coun- try, and lived peaceable, inoffensive lives, obeying all the other laws, their family relations would not be inter- fered with. Upon these assurances several large tracts of land in the

Eresh Hits of Feminine Finery That VIII Be in Vogue for the
 Spring. x

Orange and white is a favored combfA nation, particularly for house govvns and blouses # Silver lace and embr roideries hav0 been seen at number of recent fash@ ionable weddings.
 The pouch bodice and cross-over coatee are to be worn, though ths pouch is distinctly modified.
 It is predicted that black straw hata will be worn extensively next seasons entirely superseding white, reports the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Novelties in veilings include coarsA meshed plaids in nets and clustered chenille dots in malines.
 Drawn work or Paraguay effects in lace and the salne or Madeira stitch in embroid cries are much in vogue.
 Drawnwork of collars, cuffs and stocks in handsworked designs make dressy accessories for street preventing costumes. Dropping trimmings will prevail in the millinery modes of the coming sea1 son, the idea being to add nothing to' the height of the hat.
 There is an increasing fancy for inc troducing little color into brides dresses, but it is very slight, so as not to destroy the white effect.
 Glace satin straws are the novelty i'm. the millinery line and the preferred colors are deep brown, yellow, dark and pale blue, scarlet and bl,iishsgr Pastel blue cloth is a favored spring color, and on model shown recently !, the cape collar was an important fac- tor, while another noticeable detail was the white silk applications em-' ! broidered in black, which were insert- ed into the side seams of the bolero, Skirts will be cut a little longer and fuller this spring, and the thicker laces will be in great request, as will the fancy chenille and silk ornaments for trimming purposes.
 A marked change will be noticed in. the spring and summer hats from pre-; vailing styles, the new models being mounted on bandeaux, thus raising them trifle above the hair.

wild horse skin is not usual in the dens to which we are accustomed.
 It is easy to provide a den or a smoking room, because so little fur niture is required for it; there should be no useless ornaments, and cur tains even are out of place. A built In fireplace quickly gives furnished look to room, some comfortable chairs, a roomy writing table, shelves for books, and racks for papers are all the requirements of the den. Any boy who knows anything about car pentering could make the pigeon holes and the settle shown in the illustration. There must, of course, be smokers cupboard in every smoking room, but nothing in the way of drapery, from which it is so difficult to shake the smell of tobac- 20.

necessary, not so much because they are places to smoke in, as because they are places where the father, or at least the men of the family, can sometimes be alone. For it is usual now for smoking to be allowed in nearly every room in the house.
 I think in my old-fashioned mind, that at least one room should be kept free from smoke, and that that one should be the drawing-rooln or parlor, which must be made as dainty and beautiful as possible so that people will naturally refrain from polluting it. The drawing room, in consequence of it's dainti- ness and beauty, is not to be avoided as a sitting room, it must be used as much as possible and made to ex,- ert refining influence upon all who assemble there.

western part of the state of Chlhua- hua were purchased, and half-dozen
 colonies esta blished there. Other colo-
 nies are scattered along the eastern
 slope of the Sierra Madre. The popu-
 lation of the several colonies varles
 from a few score to few hundred
 people, the total population of the
 colonies being in the neighborhood of
 5000.
 Here polygamy~is practlced openly
 and without any effort at concealment,
 but in strict accordance with the teachings of the church. According to a correspondent who spent eight
 months among the people, investigat- ing the people and conditions in the guise of health-seeker, in no one or | the colonies is there to be found brothel, gambling house or saloon. Neither have. they jails or policemen. Mormon mothers are also said to be i very careful regarding the social rela-

A LESSON IN OANCINds
 fSYT1LAUGHED heartily when Jane k%k told me of the tilt between RSs1s4 Brandon and Princess Mary, &&S&S9J the latter of whom was in the habit of saying unkind things and be- ing thanked for them.
 Brandon was the wrong man to say them to, as Mary learned. He was not but he was the last man to brook an affront and the quickest to resent in a cool headed, dangerous way an inten- tional offense.
 He respected himself and made oth- CTS do the same or seem to do so at least. He had no vanity, which is but mn inordinate desire for those qualities that bring self respect and often the re suit of conscious demerit, but he knew 5 himself and knew that he was entitled to his own good opinion. He was every inch man, strong, intelligent and brave to temerity, with a'reckless dis regard of consequences, which might have been dangerous had it not been tempered by dash of prudence and caution that gave him ballast.
 I was not surprised when heard of the encounter, for I knew enough of him to be sure that Mary's high handed ness would meet it's counterpart in my cool friend Brandon It was, however, an unfortunate victory, and what aN Mary's beauty and brightness would have failed to do her honest, open ac- knowledgment of wrong, following so quickly upon the heels of her fault, ac- complished easily. It drew him within the circle of her fatal attractions, and when Jane told me of it I knew his fate was sealed and that sooner or later his untouched heart and cool head would fall victim to the shafts that so surely winged all others.
 It might and probably would be ''later,' since, as Brandon had said, he was not one of those who wear the

tions of their daughters, and the com 1nunities pride themselves on the good order maintained at their social gath erings.
 While the practice of polygamy is openly maintained in these colonies, and is as stoutly defended by thewives ! as by the husbands, there is no doubt but that it is gradually dying out. While the Mormon church teaches that polygamy is Divinely sanctioned, it also teaches that Mormons should obey the law of the land, be it good . or bad; and the fear of stirring up the Mexican authorities probably op- crates as a restraint. The younger generation also realize that with the increasing pressure of the struggle for existence and the increasing density of population, the practice is unsuited to this age of the world, and the tend- , ency will be to refrain from plural marriages, as is but natural under the circumstances.

may be used as such; comfortable chairs round a blazing fire will give the feeling of ease necessary to the enjoyment of pipe or cigar, but solitude and the feeling of retire. ment, of course, are lost in so public place as hall. MT. Jennings says in his book, "Our Homes and How to Beautify Them''-"As to the decora- tion of smoking room, it's keynote should be rich shadowy comfort" This is so, but probably most people will prefer more definite suggestion. Wood is tse best wall covering. as it does not retain the smoke, and as soon as we have dark panelled walls, we have ''shadowy comfort" Orient al carpets, and their colors continued in the comfortable chairs which are necessary to the smoking room, will instantly give richness.

1T met your friend. Did he telJ gon?' heart upon the sleeve. Then he had that strong vein of prudence and eau ton which, in view of Mary's unattain- ableness, would probably come to his help. But never was mans heart strong enough to resist Mary Tudor's smile for long,
 There was this difference between Brandon and most others-he would be slow to love, but when love should once fairly take root in his intense nature he would not do to trife with.
 The night after the meeting Mary cuddled up to Jane, who slept with her, and whispered, half bashfully:
 'Tell me all about Brandon. I am interested in him. believe if knew more persons like him I should be a better girl, notwithstanding he is one of the boldest men ever knew. Hc says anything he wishes and, with all his modest manner, is as cool with me as if I were burgher's daughter. His modesty is all on the outside, but it is pretty, and pretty things must be on the outside to be useful. I wonder if Judson thought him modest.''
 Jane talked of Brandca to Mary, who was in an excellent humor, until the girls fell asleep.
 When Jane told me of this, became frightened, for the surest way to any woman's heart is to convince her that you make heI better and arouse in her breast purer impulses and higher aspf- rations. It would be bad enough should Brandon fall in love with the princess which was almost sure to happen, but for them to fall in love with each other meant Brandon's head upon the block and Mary's heart bruised, broken and empty for. life. Her strong nature filled to the brim with latent passion was the stuff of which love makes g confiagration that burns to destruc don she would move heaven and eartf to possess him.
 She whose every desire from child hood up had been gratified, whose every whim seemed to her para mount necessity, would stop at noth ing when the dearest wish a woman'l heart can coin was to be gained or lost Brandon's element of prudence nigh help him and might forestall any. ef fort on his part to win her, but Mar. had never heard of prudence, ant mans caution avails but little whel set against woman's daring. In cas- they both should love they were sur, to try for each other and in trying wer, equally sure to find ruin and desola ton.
 A few evenings after this I met tn princess in the queens drawing room She beckoned me to her and, restin; her elbows on the top of cabinet. he chin in her hands. said: "I met you friend, Captain Brandon, day ua rwt ago. Did he tell you?"

 Wipe your feet, dear, when you come in, and now we'll keep house, " 7 according to Rudyard Kipling. Now the woman provides the man with a "den.' all to himself, or, at least, should do so if she is an intelligent and sensible person; but the clean sand is no longer visible, and the
