Woman Is treading our heels on, crowd

minced about the stage bending as far
forward as equilibrium would permit

fashionable in those days. Society folk
murmurred-''How quaint. so old-fash-

two years time the ambition of every
up-to-date matrOn and maid would be
set on acquiring just that particular
carriage.
In the time when bustles, chignons
and high heels were the vogue. when

Freedom Of movement was out Of the

barbaric days a WOman's sleeves were
too tight to permit of her raising her
arms very high without disastrous re-
suits.

No More the Gay and Frivolous
Frock For Church Going.

In We Olden time when the demure
maid was in fashion. naught but the
plainest gown, the whitest kerchief and
simplest bonnet We're permissible for
wear at devotions. But coquetish
eyes, and airs and graces there were
in those days as in ours. and pretty
lasSes would turn their frivolous
thoughts downward and with a little
touch here and another there finally
came to the acme where Sunday-go-to-
meetin' frocks were as gay as heart
could wish. Now the days have come
wherein. we must again turn back and
study somewhat grandmother's ideas
Of the proprieties. For some years
fashion has endorsed a certain amount
Of elabOrateness for the church dress;
but betwixt preacher and the "aristo-
GRAFT who claims to be the real
thing" land would draw the line taIt
al nouYeau richie ways, there's to be a
change. The simplest gown that good
taste may dictate, made in the latest
mode, Of rich fabric, but not in any
wise overturned or Of brilliant hue,
will hereafter be considered perfectly
proper. a handsome fan or vinaigrette
hung from a chain is allowable, but
the tiny purse must be hidden away
in the glove: a bag of any sort is a
breach of good taste. The large or
picture hat is tabooed-which isn't SUCH
a bad idea. as some who sit behind
them know-except for girls Of misses
age To summarize. the church gown
may have distinction and elegance
combined with unobtrusive harmonies
Of color.

Dress Fashion of the Hour.

Women have learned within the last
ten years-better. perhaps, than ever
bCfore-the becomingness Of dress. or
rather. what is becoming in dress.
Designers intent upon creating a COM
plete change of fashion are not always
successful in maintaining the more
graceful lines. The styles OF today
while receiving some criticism on the
ground Of being extreme, are yet but
temporary. and on the whole the av-
erage is quite satisfactory. But, IS
always must be, the variety of kinds
is infinite almost, with some STYLES bet
ter than others. Originality and indi-
viduality have Il strong hold upon the
twentieth century woman, and when
all the ways and means TO make be
comingness are exhausted she il suf-
fciently resoUrceful to bring back that
which was seemingly lost. Up TO the
present moment, however. all the EVIL
dence is to the fact that for dinner,
visiting and all other gowns, the full
skirt will continue for some time TO
come. From generous number Of
imported models that are recent arTiv-
ais. one certainly gets the positive i'm
preston that the 1880 influence is yet
over all. In the store this week
A reception gown Of softest taffeta
was shown. Champagne shade made
with kirt shirred at the top and trim
med with lace appliques in perpendicu-
lar lines TO give somewhat Of taper
ing effect 10 its bouffancy. The bodice
had a shallow yoke and was outlined
by a bertha. The sleeves were full
and shirred from shoulder 10 waist;
falling I'm a waving fold at either side
OF THO arm.
Another gown was of black silk veil
ing. The skirt was shaped TO form
narrow panel at the front with very
fine tucks at the sides below a yoke.
The panel had an outline of rich cream
embroidery through which ran threads
OF fine gold with very delicate tracer
les of color. The full back was laid
in wide tucks that gave the effect of
triple box plating. The blouse was
finely tucked all over and had the
dearest little vest OF myrtle green al
most hidden with the same rich en-
broidering employed on the skirt. The
sleeves were just huge puffs that
dropped over undersleeves Of mousse
line gathered into close fitting wrist
bands that reflected the trimming
touches. BY FAR one OF the most at
tractive gowns Of the whole street

At a Glance in Passing.

A window full Of pretty Plauen lace
collars with tab and stole effects very

Very attractive were some collars
spangled all over with gold, silver, or

Brown, black and yellow ruchings are
now added to the assortment Of dainty
neck furnishings.
Despite the rage for flowers on hats,
many are shown plentifully decorated
with feathers.
A stylish box turban was made en-
tirely Of folds of maline and decked
at the side and backs with loops of
ribbon velvet suggestive in form of the
long buckles now worn.

patterns Of lace in the dyed kinds and

A foulard silk gown. too, was on
show, but the many light weight fab
rics-veilings and the rest of the newer
class-have rather dimmed the glory
Of the fOulard. This one, though, was
quite attractive and received no end
of approval. The blouse had a yoke
of filmy lace, shirred very full and ex-
tending quite far down the front
rather vestlil5e and dropped off al the
shoulders as well. About as quaint
bodice, 1t can be imagined, as ever
1880 maiden wore. The skirt had three
shirrings-at the belt line, over the
hips and just above the knees; a broad
girdle, pointed back and front, was an
attractive finishing touch. The color
was gun metal check, but pink, blue
and white were so daintily worked in
that one got such an impression of per-
feet harmony that the ground scheme
was almost forgotten.
In many instances a dash of color
entirely distinct from any tint appear
ing in the costume with which it l.
worn is used on new girdles. For ex-
ample, black costume, with wide Cir
die shows dashes of rich dark red at
the back in narrow strips of velvet in
serted under the black and stitched in.
Red appears nowhere else in the cos
tune. nor on the hat or underbloUse.
Separate skirts of many kinds were
shown during the week. and quite evil
dent is it that the day of tight fitting
skirts is past. Those. who cannot wear

kinds close fitted at the hips but with

EXCLUSIVE NAGROEs.

There are some negroes who are as exclusive as some whites. Indian ter ritory has several exclusive negro towns. One is called Rentiville, after one of the promoters, and is located fif- teen miles south of Musl1ogee, on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad. The Creek nation has a number of oth- CT negro towns, among them being one known as Wildcat. It is a government townsite. Everything in the place is the property of coIored people. The people of no other race are allowed to settle there. It is said by those ac- quainted with the place that if an oc- casional white person chances to come in on business or otherwise the word is soon passed around to him: White man. don't let the sun go down on you here" A hint is all that is necessary. Another negro town is Wybark, locat- ed on the Arkansas river, at the point where the Oklahoma branch of the Mis- Isouri, Kansas and Texas railroad leaves the main line north of Muskogee. This place is shacktown and is we'll known to commercial men making the terri tory. By many it is regarded as upper tendom' in colored society on account of the location of a negro academy within short distance.
 Of course it is all wrong for the ne- groes to be so exclusive. or so initiative, but human nature seems to be human nature.

HARD.To BEAT TIT K5F.

It is hard to prevent drunkard from getting drink. For instance, the new Licensing act in England. which was expected to work such wonders, after a years trial has proved only partly successful. It has been beneficial, how ever, in several ways, among others in the extinction of a number of drinking dens, which came under the denomina- ton of clubs There has been sub stantial improvement, also, in the con- dition of children afflicted with drunken parents, but the much-vaunted "black- list" scheme, of which so much was ex- pected, was an almost total failure and has been practically abandoned, at all events in the great cities, where it was most needed. The photogra phs of hab- itual drunkards were distributed by the police among the saloonkeepers, who were forbidden, under heavy pen alties, to serve the originals with drink. At first the plan worked well, but before long the photographs ae- cumulated to such an extent that it was evident no bartender could be ex-

coon AND GROWING.

The good roads movement is growing, as it ought to. and the importance of it is becoming more and more apparent. During the past thirty years, 132,S65 miles of steam railroads have been built. making total of over 100000 miles in the United States. In the past fifteen years 23,134 miles of trolley reads have been built. This construc- ton has added immensely to the wealth of the country, increasing the value of
 property and moving the population out from the centers and adding to the health and happiness of the people. The country is pretty we'll equipped with railroads, and if more are needed they will be built. Now what is wanted to supplement the railroads is good sys- tenn of highways.
 | Connecticut can congratulate herself On the fact that she early perceived 1 the value of good roads and set about having them. The work in this State is proceeding as rapidly and well as can
 be expected, and it will not be long be- fore Connecticut will be model State in good roads. She is already a model State in having a highway commission CT whose enthusiasm and industry have
 been just what were needed at the be- ginning of the improvement, and also in 1 it's progress When ali the States have good highways, as they eventually will, | business will go much easier than it | does now. And so will some kinds of pleasure.

ENcouRAaING.

When the wise want to know the con-
 dition and the prospects of business
 they take look at the iron and steel
 trade. It is cheering to note that the
 iron and steel business is entering on
 the new year with brighter look than lit had during the fall and even in |eariy December. Whereas Pittsburg's clearances early in December hovered
 about thirty-fve million dollars week ly, they have reached forty-one millions for the first week in January And it should be understood that in the height Iof the developing boom at the corre- spending date in 1901 the total was thirty-six millions only. It has reached the fifty million mark since. last June, but it went only slightly higher. Thus lin city which devotes almost it's en- tire productive capacity to the iron and steel business the recent falling off in activity has been rather moderate, while the actual change from a record of clearances which may be termed
 normal. has been so small as to be
 undisturbing.
 The country isn't going to the dem- milton bow-wows yet. If it got headed
 that way last year the good crops and
 the big cotton prices have headed it off.

pected to remember them individually. Moreover. the old topers easily evaded the law by changing their haunts, and not few of them defied the photo- graphs by shaving their boards when they had any. or wearing somebody else's hair if they had none of their own. The decision of the High Court that no one could be blacklisted with out a preliminary hearing in court has also proved a severe blow to the sys- tenn.
 So there will have to be another way invented to decrease habituaI drunken ness in London. And perhaps it will not be much decreased in that way.
