GuNNERs ARE ANXIOUS.

If the snow keeps on melting as fast as
1t has done today, there may be a chance
for the gunners yet before the season
closes. Some of the farmers say they
never saw so many rabbit tracks in the
snow as they have seen lately. As the
gunners have only. reported fairly good
luck and very many not even that this
season, it can be inferred that the rabbits
are getting ..cunnIng and lie low while

Evening Dress for Men.


Evening dress brings little change this
season. Cravats are broad, two inches.
and are fashioned OF lawns, dimlties and
plQuSs. The soft finished stuffs with an in
distinct cord running through are smart.
Either wide or blunt pointed ends are cor
rect. For the evening jacket, black barathca
or peau de sole. unlined and cut very full.
Is Endorsed.
Both the white tie and the jacket tie must
be large and adjusted a bit loosely, rather
than drawn into hard knot. The whitc
waistcoat may be double or sin gle breasted,
and white linen. drill or pique is the fabric;
There are three buttons. pearl always. GOLD
and jewelled buttons are ba form, as are all
attempts to give evening dress On ornate
touch. The evening shirt may be plain white
or pique, and may have one stud or two.
The stud question Is matter OF preference
not Of propriety.
AZ hitherto, only pearl studs and links
accompany formal evening dress: Gold, is
reserved for the evening Jacket. The collar
should be lap front OF a poke; never wing,
with the swallow tail SILK handkerchiefs
are not In as good taste. though some men
kerohief a. in the left inside pocket OF inc
GOAT. II should never. Of course. be tucked
Into the waistcoat bosom or even up me
cuff. Evening socks are always black, SILK
or sheer Isle, and have sci embroidery or
self clocks. Laced socks and fanciful effects
Of every kind are objectionable. White
glace gloves with self backs are smarter
than those with heavy black silk backs
Evening boots are OF button ed patent leather
OF vanished calfskin save for dance, when
pumps or low cut laced shoes are hardest.

THE MODERN WOMAN.

The story that Mary Jane. the pet lamb
at Esopus. was to be translated to the place
where all good lambs eventually go. stirred
up women nightly. AS consequence
Judge Parkers mail was augmented by
scores Of letters from all over the country,
all begging and beseeching that the life
OF Mary Jane be spared.
A certain actress OF the city offered to
buy the woolly creature in order to try to
make Thespian out Of her, she said. An
other New York woman of some prominence
wrote a personal letter, highly indignant
at the fate in store for the animal.
Still another thought that the success of
the election from the Democratic stand
