Skirts of New Gowns.

All the new gowns have moderately
full skirts. One needs only to glance
at the beautiful models at the open
ings." where the freshest concerts
from abroad are shown, to discover IN
what charming ways this full sklrt
can be attained without exaggeratlng
the size of the hips. A favorite mode
is to hold the fullness fiat in clusters
of fine pinch tucks for few lnches
below the waist, from whence they
flow out into the required sweep. or
box plaits stitched fiat over the hips
are used. The skirt yoke proper is
passe, but one sees odd little empiece-
ments of the material fitting tlght
over the hips, to which is gathered the
fullness of the skirt. All OF when
means that it is a. long pull and a
hard one to get women's consent to
the really full skirt, which begins 10
eddy out as soon as the waist line Is
past.

EIounces and Tucks.

Really, flounces are not imperative
There are always tucks, and there
were never more tucks than this sea-
son. Many of the charming thin iight
silks have long flowing skirts hnisned
with inch or two-inch tucks around the
bottom. A lovely lavender silk is so
made, with a most pleasing distinc'
ton. This consists in the attenuation
of the tucks with bands of white lawn
of the sheerest quality. The SILK is
cut away from under the lawn ana
both these insertions and the tucks
are a little over an inch in width. The
effect is quantity effective and newer
than lace insertions, although a soft
white silk near at hand, in which the
same idea is carried out with lace, IS
lpleasing. In the lavender SILK the
sleeves are formed of alternate SILK
tucks and lawn strips and there is a
full Duff of lawn at the wrist.

Fashionable Trimmings.

Gold is present also in embroideries
in impressive quantity. Much en-
broidery is of the raised and filled sort
and cloudlike materials now and then
seem almost overweighted with such
establishment. Fringes are going to
continue their winter vogue to Judge
by the quantities of them on the shop
counters. The narrower sorts seem
in the lead For dressy get-ups ruch-
ings are to be a much-favored means
of ornamentation. Lace trimmings be-
come of greater value when sheer fab
RIGS are seasonable. Model dresses
suggest with some force that there is
to be whimsical fancy for the use
of heavy laces on delicate fabrics and
of filmy ones on firmer goods, but this
notion need not worry those who at
first thought do not approve it. Such
may follow their own taste in lace and
be stylish without trace of freakish-
ness.

you about and displays the mean ano
meagre advantages his place affords.
Local pride is the same in every land
He points to this thing or that, and
says, isn't it fine, senor?"
The mule car is a slow and pain
full contrivance, but to him it repre-
sents remarkable enterprise and great
convenience. You tell him of the
Boston subway that whirls it's thou,
sands of hurrying passengers mile
underground almost before his mule
driver can crack his whip; of the New
York elevated trains gliding over the
roofs of the houses almost as swift
as birds fly back and forth, and he
will look at you in establishment, and
ask, "Why do you Americans wish to
go so quickly?" or Don't the people
fall off when the car goes so fast?'
Our haste seems unreasonable to
him. He does not say as much, but
he thinks it is positively vulgar to
move in hurry. When you have to
admit that many people are killed by
our rapid transit companies, that set
ties it with him. "Such things would
not do for us, sir; what we have Is
better for our country" He really
feels sorry for those who live where
there is such haste that people get
killed by it. He would rather have
the fever and die like a gentleman.
He says he has never had the fever,
but the white of his eye is yellow, and
his skin is brown as leather. His sys.
TEN is stepped in malaria. He takes
no exercise and his circulation Is
DOOR, He drinks much wine and lit
tie water, and his kidneys are bad.
One day he will be ailing, and there
won't be any fight left in him. He will
be dead before a Northerner would
know that he was sick.
You walk on, keeping always on the
shady side of the street, for the sun
will sting you with it's fiery lash if
you expose yourself to it. You rest
beneath an awning and hear him in
uuire of this friend and the other
about the sick. One had bad night
and another may pull through. You

Sweetbreads With Oranges.

To prepare this choice Southern
dish allow several large sweetbreads
to blanch in cold water then dry on
a cloth, pull off the tubes and score
lightly with sharp knife. Dip each
into melted butter mixed with an
equal quality of orange juice, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and place on a
fiat baking pan. Cook in a very hot
oven for thirty minutes, basting three
times with the butter and orange
juice. Melt and brown one heaping
tablespoonful of butter in saucepan,
add tablespoonful of flour, brown
again, then stir in gradually one cup
full of good beef stock, and when
smoothly thickened add one-quarter
of cupful of strained orange juice
and two tablespoonful of chopped
orange with the rind) and season to
taste. Serve the sweetbreads on in
dividual plates in bed of cress and
sliced orange and pour over each
serving a spoonful of the gravy.

come here. The experience of all
seems to be the same. Ones first
impression is to stay no longer than
1t will take to get away. Then the
chance for making money enters the
consideration, and the determination
is made to stay no longer than it will
require to accumulate enough money
with which to live in comfort in
Gods country" wherever the indi-
yidual may choose to consider that
fortunate section.
In the meanwhile the tropics work
their spell. Here man knows every
body. A score of men in every block
tip their hats to him as he goes for
his walk. The climate is not con-
ducive to much effort or physical ex-
ertion and no one works hard. Life
is easy and indolent and care-free.
Finally, when the day comes that suf-
ficient has been saved to go back to
where life moves at more rapid
pace, the departure is postponed from
time to time. Putting off until to-
morrow becomes a habit that cannot
be put away as one discards an old
coat.
After the return has been made his
tory often repeats itself. The man
who was an important individual in
the South finds that he did not bring
his identity away with him. He is
only a plain man among millions Of
plain people. Some may stop to listen
to his tales of far-off country, but
he is now in a land where things
move too briskly for much story-tell-
ing.
The Difference that was paid to him
in the South was cheap civility, and
he knows it. but, for all that, he
misses it. He finds the hurry and
bluntness and living-up-to-order way
of the North too brisk for him. More
and more he pines for the easygoing
gait of the South, and in nine cases
out of ten, he goes back to the sloth-
full climate he first despised The
tropics hold him with the charm they
have; they cause him to turn his
back upon his people and they do not
zee his face again.

in the silken tissues, liberty silk, chif-
fon or mousseline de sole, or some
such clinging material. A charming
toilet has trained skirt of heliotrope
satin, with three scant flounces, each
supporting a flounce of valenciennes
lace. A lace jacket is worn with this
white valenciennes, made up over a
heliotrope satin lining. But the lace
sleeves barely reach the elbow, and
from them descends long angel drap-
cry of violet-tinted liberty silk, the
gauziest of fabrics. The drapery is
caught up again and held in to the
undersleeve at the wrist. A neck.
lace of Swiss crystals, amethyst-col-
ored, run on a purple cord, is worn
about the throat.
