THE REIGN OF RIBBON.

This is ribbon winter. Ribbons Of
all shades, width and styles are much
in vogue. A white satin sash strewn
with great pink roses is extremely
rich and snowy. Equally so is one
where red peoples are thrown upon
q white satin ground with black velvet
stripes. An odd effect is obtained in
a white and pink silk sash, which has
velvet daisies strewn over it,
Very rich in effect is o broad ribbon
of this kind, having a black ground
striped with bright colors New and
stylish are the zibellne ribbons, with
long. hairy pile. Then there are the
silver tissues strewn with colorcd
flowers and bordered with a white
satin stripe and the lowered gold hor-
dered with black and white and gold
mixtures.

NEW WOMAN" AND ANCIENT.
One of the pet reproaches made
against the new woman is that in her
unseemly longing to stand upon the
same footing as her aforetime lord and
master she invented the fashion Of
wearing garments of q mannish cut.
This is most unjust, and she may
readily be proved guiltless of the
charge by a trifing investigation of
the fashions Of ancient times and of
conservative countries, where the poor
things are as unemancipated as pos
sible, and still wear the same style of
garments as their foremothers Of a
thousand years ago
The Chinese lady, as every Traveller
testified, is one Of the most modest,
retiring and conventional OF creatures.

THE SPRING NECKWEAR.

The stole-front neckgiece has just
one piece pendant from its centre, and
is much newer than the bishops tabs.
Tiny silk crochetcd rings in black
are used to finish the ends and tabs OF
some of the new neclpieces in both
white and colors.
Small, neat effects, rather than very
heavy ones, are predicted for spring
neckwear, as more in keeping with
the season.
White is far in the lead for any and
all neckwear pieces. If a touch of
color is given, black and sometimes
light blue are used
Some of the huckaback collars, that
are so very swagger now, when done

MIR. WATSON IN TOWN.


Representative James +. Watson, of the
Sixth district, arrived In the city last even
ing to join the forces of the third house.
However, his efforts as lobbyist will be
confined to the support of an innocent
measure providing for change in the judi
cial circuit Of which his home county of
Rush is part. Representative Sparks, of
Rushville. has a bill which changes this
circuit so that it will include Rush and
Fayette counties, instead of Rush and
Shelby. Representative Watson. is inter-
ested in the bill. and he broke away from
his work in Washington for forty-eight
hours to see if he could be of assistance to
Representative Sparks in securing the ia
vorable consideration of his measure
Representative Watson gave a little din

the numerous gubernatorial rumors that
come from Washington, and he laughed
and replied:
Judging from the newspaper stories one
would be warranted in concluding that
the Indiana delegation in Congress does
little else than discuss the question of who
