Mephistopheles effect is very striking;
indeed, the whole costume is worthy of
note,
Anyone who possesses real jet should
make use of it. | have seen many jet
boleros, very often mounted on afoun-
dalton of black Chantilly, and sometimes
on heavy cream guipure.
There is always a revival Of black
and white frocks at this time OF year
for the Riviera season, while, with a
view to the approach of Lent, the all
black frock, and the usual variety of
grays and mauves will shortly make
their appearance.
For evening wear it appears to me
that the majority of bright colors, with
the exception of that exquisite rose du
Barry, are giving place to more sombre
tones.
1.-THE blush slate gray which we Paris
ians often affect is not very becoming,
though it is sometimes smart, especially
when relieved with black.
Cloths bearing large black velvet
macarons are still used, while many Of
the blouse bodices are cut with little
tabs forming a very short basque. The
sleeveless bolero finds favor on many
occasions, and there is a furore for the
accordion plated blouse.
Among the dainty accessories of the
toilette we give a foremost place to
hand embroidered muslin cIavats and
to the real lace jabot. II is difficulty to
get really chic neckgear, but the cravat
and the jabot, when Of the best, are
quite delightful.
1.-THE Riviera millinery gees a revival
of dull gold, and our modistes are pro-
ducing, in lovely colorings, the pointed
toaue, which is worn tilted back on to
the couture. 1t is small and narrow at
the sides and only suited to a few faces,
though it will probably find favor among
many elegantes.

There is a decided liking for the
elongated, pointed toque Ito wear with

only with woven braids. In spite of
this, the fiat, round shape is by no means
at a discount, SO the mondaine will have
the choice of two entirely different
~shapes-the all-round and the much
pointed.
These fiat shapes appear in dark
blue, dark myrtle green, and all the new
shades of pearl gray, the only permits

PRESIDENT MoNROE'S BOD Y
History of the Removal of President
Monroe's From New
York to Richmond.

The state library, rich in so many
volumes devoted TO Virginia and Vir-
giniaIs, contains a book compiled by
udolpho Wolfe devoted entirely 10 The
Grand Civic and Military Demonstra-
ton in Honor Of the Removal of the
Remains OF James Monroe, Fifth Pies
ident of the United States, from New
York TO Virginia" Mr.. Wolfe is d
Virginian, the son of a citizen soldier
OF the Old Dominion The Seventh
Regiment of the New York National
Guard was the escort Of honor Of the
remains from New York to Richmond.
1t is an interesting fact that neither
the body of President Monroe nor his
wife were destined to rest undisturbed
in the first grave which held their
bodies. The fifth president died in
the city of New York, July 4, 1884, at
the residence Of his Son-in-law, Samu-
ell L. Gouverneur, and his remains
were put in a vault in the Second
Street or Marble cemetery.
He was the third president Of the
United States to die on July 4. Adams
and Jefferson being the other two who
passed away five years before. In 1858,
twenty-seven years aftes Monroe's
death and 100 years after his birth, his
remains by an act of the Virginia Leg
islature and with the consent of Sam
uel L. Gouverneur, Jr,, grandson and
only male lineal descendant, were
brought TO Richmond on the steamer
jamestown, and with elaborate cere-
monies reinterred in the tomb in Hol-
lyWood, Rev, Charles Fl. Read,
then pastor of the United, now First
Presbyterian church, conducted the de-
votional service at the grave, and Gov.
Henry A. Wise delivered an address.
President M%onroe's wife had already
been dead several years and buried at
Oak Hill, LOudoun county, when he
died. That accounts for his living in
New York with his s~on-in-law. He
was very poor during the closing years
OF his life, Some one has remarked,
applying it to him: "To handle mil
lions and die poor, that is virtue"
1t is an interesting fact possibly all
do not remember, thar Monroe lived in
Richmond when a boy and went TO
school. Interesting also is it that he
boarded at the "Old Stone House."

AND He GOT IT.
Ii Proved 10 he Something He
Didn't Care 10 Hold
Very Long.

An indulgent mother of the Tuxedo col
cny was travelling on u local train one day
IN company with her three.year1Old son,
his nursemaid, and a copy Of a society
magazine which absorbed her attention,
relates the New York Times. The son
was occupying the seat behind her with
his attendant, VINO attempted every once
in awhile to curb his restless and rebel
hous spirit by a gentle denial ot his Lat.
est wlnn, but each time the mother, no.
ucIng only that some argument was in
progress, and without looking up from
her book, would remark: Let him have
It,"
The nursemad thereupon would yield
to this double demand.
Finally a strong and rather venoysous
looking wasp new against the window
pane, and the youthful hunter reached out
TO grasp it, and walled deJectedly when
he was once more restrained BY the watch
Jul cafetaker. AGAIN the iOnd mother,
without raising her eyes, exclaimed:
oh, do let him have lt!'
And the howl which followed the
nurses compliance caused an ABUSED
smile 10 pass around the car.

FINE TOBACCO IN TEXAS.
A Superior Grade, Equal to the Fa-
NOUS NucIta Abnio, is Pro-
duccd in Eastern Texas.

The United States department OF
agriculture has decided to make the lit
tie town of N~acogdoches, in east Texas,
the biggest tobacco experimental sta
ton in the world, and it is announced
that on August | a plant for the curing,
baling and wa%rehousing of all tobaccos
grown at experimental stations in the
south will be opened there, with ex-
perts of the department of agriculture
in charge.
This division Is the outcome of ex-
periments and tests which have been
going on in east Texas for the last year
and a half, Coupled with the announce
ment of th%eopening Of the Nacogdochea
curing station is the statement that the
government tests have demonstrated
that tobacco grown in the soil of east
Texas is the equal if not Superior
Of the celebrated and costly tobacco
grown in the Vuelta Abajo district Of
Pinar del Rio, Cuba, known as the fir-
est tobacco in the world.
~Nacogdoches is near the Louisiana
line, and about 120 miles north OF
Beaumont. Here the experiments have
been conducted by L. H. Shelter. the
expert of the department of agricuI-
ture Of filler tobacco. He declares that
the aromatic quality of Texas leaf Is as
pronounced as the other chief charac"
teristics of the plant. all of which are
singularly like the high type of Cuban
leaf found in PinaT del Rio.
The Texas plant bears a striking re-
semblan:e to its Cuban relative. It he
not a heavy or vigorous, rank or over
grawn plant, but short coupled. and
ranging from ten 70 fourteen leaves to
the stalk. 1t is OF medium size, and
has the fuzzy ,yelvety appearance Of the
Cuban type.
The remarkable soil Of east Texas
has long been suspected Of harboring
treasures of a kind most unusual, and
more than a year ago members of the
United States soil survey were sent
there to examine and report. Their re-
port was such that DR.. Milton Whitney,
chief OF the bureau of soils and tobac~
co plants, by direction of Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson, detailed Mr.. Shell
fer and his assistants to go TO east
Texas and make a careful and practical
culture of the plant in the particular
soil selected, which SO closely resem-
bles the soil of the famous Vuelta
Abajo.
The wonderfully favorable climate,
we'll as the extraordinary soil con-
dition-the former incident TO the gulf
morning fogs and dews. which
are thought TO influence the delightful
aroma and flavor of Cuban tobacco
and the striking resemblance Of the
and Texas plants were addition
al reasons which led the department of
agriculture TO start its Investigations
in the Texas field.

blouses that are illustrated here. They
may be made either in yelveteen or
flannel. The one on the left panders to
the prevailing fashion, of sloping shoul-
ders, by its yoke of stitched bands fitting
over the top of the arms. The fulness
of the blouse is also in deep plaits,
stitched fiat tower part of their length; and
the center Of the blouse has a wide box
plat running from waist TO neck, where
1t is threaded through by a wide bow of
black MORE ribbon, which, with the lit
tie turnover collar Of fine white lawn,
gives a very smart appearance.
The second blouse is cut out in the
form ola V, over an undervest and neck
band Of coarse cream guipure, The
opening is bordered with a stitched
band, which is doubled back at each side
to continue the line Of the yoke over the
shoulders. This band might be made in
Chinese embroidery, which would be
very effective on dark blue or green vel
veteen; in which case the deep-stitched
cuffs might also be made Of the en-
broidery. The fulness of the blouse is
kept well to the front in small tucks;
two very full sleeves are set into a band
of horizontal tucks round the arm below
the yoke; and the smartness of the
whole effect is greatly enhanced by a
tie of soft black silk, which is loosely
knotted at the end Of the V-shaped open
ing, and the ends allowed to hang loose.
