How in the world they will be able

"Oh. I know these can be made fun

show the general public that they can

said to her friend while they were par

joke and laughed. but when she saw
that her companion was serious she
asked:

RIBBON CUFFS.

Ribbon cuffs are a novel feature of
some fine evening coats.
A lovely creation in biscuit broad
cloth Gt looks white in the EVENING"
shows the very broad sleeves to be
gathered into correspondingly broad
cuffs. And these cuffs are of ribbon.
OF the very broad ribbon but one width
is required, the pretty, figured stuff
being draped down to a width of five
inches. In this way nearly three
fourths of a yard would be required
for each sleeve. The delicate green's
and pinks are especially exploited on
the ivory grounds Of these lovely rib
bons. Naturally, the striking novel
ties here suggested do not exhaust the
uses to which ribbon is put. though the
others are not as surprising.

KISSING BUG-Subscriber, Sacra-
mento, Cal. The cornenose, or kiss
ing bug" is a bug Of the predatory
family Reduviride. called giant bug in
the Southern United States. where it is
pest in houses. 1t is three-quarters
of an inch long. black with red patches
on the side of the thorax at the base
and apex Of the wing covers and bands
on the side Of the abdomen. The young
much resemble bedbugs, to which they
are allied, and at all ages are fierce
biters and bloOdsuckers. preying upon
insects and attacking sleeping persons
and animals. The bug seems to breed
in the nests Of mice and the insects
are prevalent in the Mississippi Valley
and in the tropics. The name "assas-
sin bug" has been given to the whole
family by ComstOck by reason OF their
cannibalism and raDacity, and to GER
tain species. especially MeaInolistes
and Reduviride. .personatus. which were
specially abundant in the Eastern
States during the kissing bug excite
ment of the summer of 1898.

The consensus of opinion among those
who have good line on the condition OF
affairs would indicate that Mr. Deneen
has allowed the joCkeying for position to
reach the point where he is absolutely
safe In making decision, which will not
bring on himself and his friends the
prejudice of the many conflicting ele-

that respect he is given credit for playing

If MIR. Deneen realizes this aspiration
he will have accomplished feat which
has never before been performed in Ill
