INTEREST, NOT APATHY.

Much IS said of the so-called apathy
which prevails during this campaign,
and yet if the condition Of affairs re-
gardfng our presidential election were
looked into more deeply it would be
found that instead of the apathy which
Dis apparent there is deeper interest
than perhaps ever before prevailed in
a presidential campaign. One reason
for the lack of what might be termed
excitement is the fact that the Ameri-
can people are employed in far greater
measure today than ever before In our
history, not excepting the busy days
of the fall of 1892. Neither the work
men in OUT factories nor the laborers
on our farms have time to spare from
their work to indulge in any outward
appearance of enthusiasm during this
campaign. The old customs of specta-
cular parades have given place to a
campaign of education, and instead of
the corner conclaves, marching clubs
and torchnght professions we have an
earnest consideration of important is
sues around the firesides and in the
business offices and workshops of the
country. The American voter was
never more interested in the outcome
OF political campaign than at pres
ent, but that interest is not manifest
to the outside public. The literature
which he receives is carefully perused
at home, and arguments take place
perhaps during the MONDAY meal or
at the fireside in the evening.
Throughout the length and breadth
of the land earnest thinking men are
calmly making up their minds that it
will be best not to change our splendid
business administration for one that
would surely bring doubt and perhaps
disaster to the commercial and bust
ness world. There is no necessity. to
go out upon the street with trumpet,
drum Or torchlight to proclaim the de-
cision which has been arrived at. and
yet never before has the voter been as
determined to 60 to the polls and vote
for honor, integrity and good business
policies in lieu of uncertainty and the
various nostrums so loudly proclaimed
by the democratic managers.

Attractive Evening WRAPS.

The majority of evening wraps for
the coming winter are to be longer
than those worn last year. There will
be more bright colors seen. and satin,
brocade, velvet and embroidered
cloths will later take the place OF the
all-white wrap which was SO popular
a few months past.
The fur-trimmed evening wrap Is
again immensely fashionable, and as
is the case now when one or two un-
usually smart models are made up in
q certain new and, at the same time,
effective style, they will frequently be
initiated and copied in many different
ways. On some models there is only
a deep collar of white lynx or sable
with no other fur trimming to the
wrap, but again are seen models on
which there is not only the deep fur
cape or standing collar, but the sides
Of the cloak will be faced with it.

E3-.--~ar-~~q
Especial Correspondence.J

OF the great rush of travellers
through Milan during the season, it is
certain that every one visits the
grandiose cathedral of white marble,
which is the most striking spectacle
in the city. and every one walks in
the glass covered arcade or gallery
Victor Emanuel. A great number visit
also, the picture gallery of the Brera;
but those who visit the Poldi-Pezzoli
museum are fewer in number. and are
those possessed Of a vain curiosity or
genuine love OF art.
This museum, with its gallery, has
been created entirely by the late Cava.

were in this house at the time OF his
death, should constitute an art fOunda-

Uniaue Ribbon Trimming.

There is smart ribbon trimming
which disports itself in frilled flounces
and makes such an effective adorn-
ment for an evening frock, where taf-
feta, silver or gauze ribbon is used.
Very dainty is a debutante's dress
made Of white tulle mounted on soft
satin, the skirt treated with six rows
OF horizontal silver gauze ribbon ap-
piled in sets of two, with frill lace
between each. The bodice is cut in
pointed effect and slightly gathered
across the figure, adorned at inter-
walls with little butterfly bows OF sill

A Pretty Little Work Basket.

A pretty little work basket is made
of stiff cardboard cut out in four sec
tions, each one about six inches high
and five broad at the top, slanting
to a width of three and half inches
at the base. Ribbons at the top and
bottom of each section fasten them
together in form somewhat like tall
strawberry box. These sections are
covered with ecru crash. and on the
outside of one is attached needle
pad covered with flap of canvas.
Another side OF this little basket car
ries a tomato pincushion made of silk.
A third Is decorated with two little
emeries in the form of strawberries,
and the last section has a pocket in
which to keep buttons. spool cotton,
braid, etc.

tended To open on this route between
Milan and Paris, and 1t also bears the
name of the Arch of Peace, as it was
afterward dedicated to the Emperor
Francis |. of Austria, the preserver Of
peace.
It's origin goes back to the days OF
the first Napole0n, when Josephine'G

Lombardy, ruled here. When he mar

wooden arch was erected here on
the occasion, and, as, Pentland writes.
1t was so much admired that the muni-
cipal council resolved that it should
be executed in white marble from Car
rara. The expense was great, and
money was sCant, so the growth OF the
arch was exceedingly slow.

A Fashionable Fur.

A new fur which will be much used
for revers and cuffs is known as yetta.
Though the name suggests something
entirely new, when literally translat-
ed it means the skin of baby calf.
Imagine converting the skin OF soft
eyed "bossy" into dress accessories
for the smart girl-and yet that Is
just what is happening. In coloring.
OF course nothing could be more eff
fective than the beautiful brown, with
its streaks OF soft, creamy white and
delicate fawn. In its texture the new
fur is very soft and silky, which
means that it would be easy to en-
brOider If touch of elaborateness is
needed.-Woman's Home Companion.

Examples Of Recent Art.

senting view in Tangiers, bears the
name of that most promising Spanish

face altogether is not notably beauti-

A BotticeIli Madonna.


Second in importance comes love
w work of Alessandro Filipepi, better
known as Botticelli, a Madonna and
child, one of the finest and most char
actcristic works of that great master.
Some consider it as belonging to the
same period as the well known Chigi
Madonna.
The devotional sweetness on the
face of the Madonna in this exquisite
ly painted work is tempered by a
sense of sorrow that is most effective.
The eyes of the mother are directed,
not to the book on which her hand
rests, but to the very suggestive
crown of thorns that hangs upon the
wrist of the child. The drapery. the
book, and the very text in it. the yes
sci containing fruit and the figures
are painted with loving carefulness
and accuracy that display the SINGER
ity OF this master who has become so
popular in recent years.
These two pictures would suffice OF
themselves to make the reputation Of
n great gallery. But the gilded salon
contains many ether treasures-gold
and silver Venetian work of the fif-
1ccnth century, enamels and niellos
and bronzes, carvings in ivory and
Roman antiquities contribute to rem
der this one of the most interesting
rooms in the building.
