season at different periods. After
many attempts were made to settle
the difficulties which gave rise to

This new discipline is recognized In

monk. Retramnus, who wrote about
the same time, that these additional
days were observed by the Catholic
church in the west generally.

Contrary to popular belief, Edward

positive statement that Daniel Web
ster was not drunkard He cites a
long acquaintance with the eminent or.
ator and also an intimacy which per
mitted him to know much of his habits
and desires. 81,
Mr.. Hale skaters conclusively all the
evidence Of intemperance with which
the life of Webster was impugned.
However, he does admit that the states
man tasted an occasional glass.
On one occasion, just previous to adj
dressing political meeting, Daniel
Webster entered small inn. The
place was chilly. and large crowd
had gathered about an inert stove The
landlord was delighted at having so
distinguished man as guest. Hand
Ing Mr.. Webster a glass Of whisky, he
said graciously: "Take it, sir 1t will
warm you up.
Thank you," said Webster. He
tasted the liquor, made wry face,

the stoves door, throwing the whisky
into the fire, saying as he did SO, "Thia

Lloya,s IN Time Of Anxiety.

Only recently great Atlantic liner
was announced to be three days over
due. On the third day there was no
noticeable advance in the rate charged
for those who had neglected to insure
property shipped upon it, bit on the
fourth day, when anxiety as to both
the passengers and the property on
board had increased, it was ominously
announced from Lloyd's that the rate of
insurance upon that particular vessel
had been advanced to $40 in $500. This
was on Tuesday On Wednesday, when
no further news had been heard, the
rate had jumped to s25 in the $500.
On Thursday it reached $50, and by
Friday the enormous sum of<$100 in
$500 was declared to be the rate in any
and all manner of insurance upon the
missing vessel. 1t is needless to say
how horribly these announcements con.
frmed the anxious fears Of those most
deeply concerned in the arrival of the
vessel, for all the world knows that If
there is any hope it will be longest
found at Lloyd's. 1t is also needless to
say that when the great liner In ques-
ton finally reached her dock In New
York nowhere was there greater re-
joicing at the announcement than in
the room where it was tolled out by
the bell of the Lutine and read by the
erier to the assembled crowd at

Washing Frocks VIII Have q Fine
Time of 1t This Season.
The summer has had its busy finger
in many departments Of dress. In
waists finely tucked thin linens in pale
colors, with bretelles, insertions and
trimmings Of torchon, delicate, but
strong enough to stand careful laundry
work, will be popular, and from crepe
de chine to the finest chiffon and
French muslin the range Of blouses is
wide enough to please any one. The
pretty waist illustrated is in palest
blue chiffon, pouched back and front,
tucked and gagged, latticed with blue
velvet ribbon and trimmed with gui-
pure motifs.
Cottons and linens for waists and
entire costumes are elaborated by
dozen devices, the favorite being silk
cord, with pendent tassels and yokes
Of the finest and softest embroidered
lawn.
The long shoulder seam is applied
to many of the new foulard and voile
day dresses, and when worn with full,
long skirts this is to be much COM
mended, the effect being crowned with
the hat, also of the dropping order,
cavalier in shape perhaps, with long
plume at one side. @s
Bodices are only slightly pouched,
the high Wristbands are a novel fea
ture, and the sack bolero, the tippet,
or the pelerine- it what you will,
and there Is variety enough to en-
brace any number of threatens
to be the distinct outdoor garment for
summer. zas
Below the waist for few inches the
skirt is tucked, gathered or plated, so
that 1t outlines the figure, then 1t flows
in graceful fullness, and there is an
astonishing amount of width employed
In the thin materials, which will be the
dominant ones for the summer.
Silk muslins, chiffons, canvas and
vote are to be worn In browns, dark
blues and blacks made up over white,
and also in very light colors, white
leading the way
1t Is in sleeves that the new modes
have most strongly asserted them
selves. The long one for evening wear
has come to stay, and, provided that 1t
