NOTES OF THE MODES.
Striking Gowns OF the Season for
House and Street Wear-At-
traetiye Features.

The most startling development in
trimmed sleeve. With the severest
gown one sees sleeves loaded with
trimmings and finished with ruff1e
of lace or chiffon. Many of the gowns
have elbow sleeves with airy balloon
sleeves underneath. 1t is somewhat
incongruous, to be sure, but undeniably
feminine and becoming, reports the
New York Post. The sleeves of. a
black cloth gown with plain Elton
jacket are very full, and are finished
with braided tab scallops which fall
over full, deep ruffle OF ecru Venise
lace. Another black broadcloth tailor
gown built on simple lines has sleeves
composed of Tapped circular bands, the
lowest shaped down to a cuff. A Rus
sian gown Of blue broadcloth, for a
young girl, has sleeves which barely
cover the upper part o. the arm. From
there very full sleeves of white silk
with a high, pointed cuff covered with
Persian embroidered trimming. The
gown itself is worth describing. 1t has
round, short skirt, and a coat with
a deep tunic finished with a band of
velvet, overlaid with Persian. The
bodice is sort of surplice outlined
with velvet and Persian, the pointed
neck being supplied with guimpe OF
white silk.
A very striking street gown OF plum
colored cloth as sleeves and collar OF
broadtail, the collar and cuffs embrol-
dered in gold. There is vest of white
kid trimmed with double row Of dead
gold buttons and the broad white kid
belt is fastened with a large buckle OF
gold. TIE waist is plain except for
the vest, and two ornaments and tas-
sells of black silk. The skirt is a triple
affair, and is rather longer than the
average gown meant for walking.
If street gowns show such elaborate
sleeves, the house and other elaborate
costumes are still more trimmed and
decorated. An afternoon gown of veil
ing has long skirt tucked in two-inch
tucks from the knees to the hem. The
sleeves are tucked in a similar manner
from the top, which does not begin at
the shoulder, but some distance below,
the upper part being continuation
of deep yoke, of point d'esprit. The
sleeves are very wide about the elbow,
decreasing in size towards the cuff,
which is of the point d'esprit inlet
with lace diamonds bound with black
velvet
A pretty frock can be constructed of
white crepe de chine elaborated with
Mechlin lace. Five cores, with darts
over the hips, give stylish shaping to
the foundation skirt, which flares at
the lower edge. affording measure
ment of about three yards and one-half
in the middle sizes. Two circular
founces, shirred or gathered and fin
ished with tucks, form the outside
skirt, the lower one measuring about
four yards and one-fourth.
A high or round neck may be used,
with the blouse waist, which IL tucked
in bayadere style and gathered where
it joins the round loke A back clos
ing is invisibly effected, and fitted
lining gives support. Close caps,
shirred to form trills and ornamented
with tucks, and plain bishop sleeves
are provided, and may be used to-
gether or separately. A ribbon belt
is worn.

to know il you"
There, cannot hear such talk from
you. It is unjust to your wife," she
interrupted.
He did not notice that she failed tt
include her husband, but looked al
her wonderingly as he said:

that Eva died two years ago in April?'

He arose, extending his hand Con-
1usedly, she gave him hers as she said:
"Good-by-I-call at mothers, If you
are in New York this summer. shall
be there"
Thanks, will remember"
As Ashley stepped from the train
his mind was in tumult. What did
the woman mean by asking him to call
upon her; then, he thought of her
beauty, the golden glimmer that lin
cered in her hair; this had seemed in
tensified by her dark dress; yes. he be-
lieved she wore black. He was an idiot
about dress, but had always associated
her with blue-f1lmy blue and white
things-such al she had worn In the
happy days long before.
Ashley had been engaged to his cou-
sin, Eva Wood, when quite young. The
girl was devoted to him, but time
brought to the knowledge Of the young
man that he did not love her as he
should the woman he would call wife.
Her health began to fail and the doc
tors said to cross her would bring seri-
GUS results; SO, when all at home were
humoring her every within Ashley had
not the heart to break the engagement
as he had intended doing.
At this time he went to New York on
business. While there he met Sara
Lester. With them it was the rare
happening of love at first sight He
prolonged his stay, thus dallying with
temptation. She knowing naught Of
his engagement was not on her guard
and a slight incident happened that
suddenly brought words tripping
through his lips that for days he had
endeavored to suppress.
He held her in his arms, the one
woman In the world he could love, and
she with trust gave him the grand pas
sion of her life
Bidding her adieu until he should
again come to her, and going home in
tent upon revealing the truth to Eva
he was met by the news that she must

II know you have been engaged a
long time, Walter, SO take the liberty
Of telling you the truth. You may
save her life by going with her at
once" said the family physician.
Was man ever placed SO before, Wal
ter wondered; then seeing the hope in
Eva's eyes he sat down and wrote the
circumstances to the woman he loved,
pleading with her to forgive him for
the pain he felt he was giving her.
She did not reply, and Ashley soon
after went abroad with his wife. to
whom he was invariably kind. He felt

A Neat Retort.

w. D. Howells, the novelist, has
never failed, when anyone has ami
rhadverted to his corpulence, to come
out with a neat retort. When Mr.
Howells was consul to Venice, a very
lean and long American said to him
one day loosely:
IF were as fat as you, I'd go and
hang myself"
Well" said Mr. Howells, eff ever
take your advice, I'll use you for a

All girls like to be loved, but they

IN THE HARD CIDER BELT.
According to This Account 1t is L0.
Gated in Indiana Instead OF
New England.

Despite the fact that all the story
books try to make the average western
er believe that New England is the orig
inal and perpetual home Of hard cider,
the man who jumps about Indiana very
much knows that it is also the universal
thirst cure over big part Of that state.
A Chicago man who has just returned
from visit at his old home down below
Indianapolis, says the Inter Ocean, has
this to say about the hard cider habit in
Indiana.
Zone night while was down home an
old farmer whom knew when was a
hoy, gave rip-roaring country dance
in my honor. When we got to his place
he brought into the sitting room about
two dozen tin cups and tub filled with
hard cider. Around the rim of the tub
number of nails were driven and upon
these the tin cups were hung They
didn't stay there very much Of the time,
but the nails were there for that pur-
pose. After the old man had brought
in the tub of cider he brought in a large
tin bucket, which was also filled with
the brown liquid. Them he went to a
cupboard and took down big jug. The
contents of this jug he emptied into the
tub. Then, stepping into the middle of
the room, he announced:
Ladies and gentlemen: The cider
in the tub is for the benefit of the men.
The women will please drink from the
tin pail
Il noticed minute later that one of
the men present was putting on his coat.
had known him for many years, and
felt at liberty to ask him why he was
in such hurry.
Well he said, don't see any use
Of wasting whole gallon of good whis-
ky by pouring into tub of poor cider.
l came here expecting to get some real
refreshments. didn't expect to be
forced to watch them commit sin like
that
II told the host what this fellow had
said, and got this answer:
"T had to do it. l wouldn't give
durn for hard cider that didn't have
spike in it. That tub of cider is now hard
enough to turn prohibitionist conven-
ton into a jamboree. Fact is, instead
Of having one gallon Of whisky, we
have now tubful. I don't know that
you ever noticed it, but it is fact that
you can take the mildest and most harm
less cider in the world and pour into it a
little real fighting whisky, and you can
get a whole regiment drunk in 40 min
utes.'
Before the night was over saw that
the old man was right. Before 10 o'clock
that party was dandy. think nearly
every man there was pretty we'll fixed

but what that tub of spiked cider did to
make things lively could never be half
told.
by the way, I've sent down there for
a barrel of the real stuff, and I'm going
to try the spiking idea myself"

Sewing ON q Button.

Sewing teachers show one very
quickly that there is q right and
a wrong way even for such a simple
thing as sewing on button. Tho
first stitch must be taken downward,
from the right side, under the but
ton, so that the knot on the thread
does not show. A pin is laid over the
button, SO that the threads pass over
this while sewing 1t on; the sewing
is continued until the holes through
the button are full of thread. the pin
is then pulled out, few strands
twisted aroand the shank, and the
thread fastened underneath. A sim
gle thread must always be used in
sewing on buttons to give smooth
effect.-Rural New Yorker

FOR THE ASSEMBLY
Geo. D. Head Authorizes the An
nouncement of His Name as
Candidate for the Office
OLD REPUBLICANS IN LINE

The most interesting development
of the opening campaign came this
afternoon when George D. Head, presi-
dent of the Kenosha Lumber company
authorized the announcement that his
name would go before the coming
county Republican convention as a
candidate for the nomination for
member of the assembly.
Few men in Kenosha county are
better known than Mr.. Head and no
man in the county has been more
c1osley allied with the Republican
party. Mr.. Head has been Repub1i-
can since the inception of the\party
and he has never in the past consen-
ted to be made candidate for any
state or county office. For many
years Mr.. Head represented the
Fourth ward on the city council and
the people of that ward would have
elected him perpetua11y to the office
had he been willing to accept the
honor.
In authorizing the use of his name
in connection with the candidacy for
the assembly Mr.. Head has yielded to
the repeated demands of his friends
and he will undoubtedly enter the con-
vention with a strong following.
Mr.. Head is especially fitted for the
Office of assemb1yman on account of
the fact that he has been a close stu
dent Of the affairs of the state and the
county for many years. He has held
neutral position on the state fight
expressing himself as being in favor
of the Republican party first, last and
at ali times regardless Of the factiona1
fights which may have been started
among the members Of the party,
No other candidate has been pro-
posed for the assembly and it is prob
able that the announcement of the
candidacy of Mr.. Head will have a
tendency to keep the number of can
didates down to the low limit.
