to the surgical society of London, Eng

throw a strong light on the tube, was
passed into the bronchial tube, and
then withdrawn. This process was re-
peated for six days with larger and

specially made to put into the tube,
but was too short to fit, and coughing

an idea, and so 1 turn to the healthy
mepts, or to the woman who delights
in out-of-season country house par
ties. While all my readers may not be
able to class themselves with these
fortunate sisters, the so-called idle
rich, yet it is their clothes which form
the basis of the styles for all, and out
of the gossip about them may be
drawn something practical for the
wardrobes of those who must econo-
mize more stringently.
Black is always smart in the city,
but in the country it is somber and
uninteresting. Always remember
when selecting a black dress, which
of course, none of us can afford to be
without, that it must be good black.
Personally, for the short walking skirt
and coat, I much prefer dark blue,
dull red, brown where il suits, or a
Harris tweed mixture
A most successful toilette de Vile is
in black cloth and has graduated black
velvet medallions thereon, bolero-
some light tuckings of lace about the
neck, but this rather loses it's distinc-

tractive at house entertainments,

to similar purposes, and subdued ORR

mings for tailor-made frocks.
1t is the cloth tailor-made frocll
which is de rigueur for the country,
even on smart occasions. except when
cosy five O'Clock blouses and tea gowns
are worn.

where it ends.
The smart trotteuse, on the other
hand, reaches to the angles Let no
woman who wants to be well dressed
try to make any compromise between
the two. The trotteuse is admirable
for smart occasions in the country and
morning wear in town, whereas the
tweed, really short skirt should be rele-
gated severely to tie practical pur-
poses for which it is intended, and
should be worn with satin or silk
Knockers, and suitable foot gear, with
a smart, warm coat which can be worn
over flannel blouse or kid waistcoat.
Now for indoor wear, | wonder il
many of us have realized the virtue Of
cream viyella flannel, made with
simple blouse bodice? The blouse and
skirt may be unlined and worn over
a nicely fitting slip and colored silk
petticoat; if simply made these wash
we'll. A couple of these worn with
colored, or black kid band with
corresponding touch of color in the
collar and cravat can really make
most effective indoor costume at small
cost.
Remember that the belt is an impor-
tant feature of the fashions of to-day,
and you ought to be able to pick up
excellent specimens of becoming waist
bands.
The frocks have referred to can be
made in any flannel, plain, spotted or
striped, as we'll as in printed delaines.
Ii you once get good pattern you
should be able to construct these tot
lettes at a small cost, putting the lar
ger part of the cost of this frock into
suitable band and cravat which you
will buy infinitely better and cheaper
ready-made.
Despite the fact that fashion is SO
costly, if the wearer has individual

over the country to-day are women
who have in various states of preser-

the president when they called with

The president liked little girls, and it
was a pleasure to him to pin carna-
lions on their little dresses or give
them one each to take away in their
hands No honor could have been
higher to these fortunate ladies and
misses than this. There were times
when bevy of school girls would call
at the white house. President Nc
Kinley would see that he could not
give them all carnations, as he did not
have that many on his desk, but a
number of times some of the more
courageous girls would ask for The
flowers. These girls got what they
asked for, with charming smile in
addition.

Bede has his full share of friends in
Washington. He could not help that if
he wished to, for he is likable fellow,
who makes friends with whoever he
meets. 1t is a trait characteristic of
the life he led for number of years
as rowing newspaper reporter and
printer. During those years he picked
up large acquaintance throughout
the southern and western states in
which he has written fire and police
reports. done" local politics, and all
the various odds and ends that fall to
the lot of the general reporter in daily
journalism.
Bede was originally republican,
then in 1883 he Topped over to the
democrats and voted for Cleveland,
going back to the republicans again at
the time of Bryan's nomination in Chi
cago. 1t is rather coincident that Bede
should have won fame by one speech
in which Col. Bryan figured promi-
nently, and that Col. Bryan should
have gained fame in speech-"The
Cross of Gold"-which drove Bede out
of the democratic party and sent him
onto the stump for Mckinley. Such
are the strange ways of politics.
Bede is by no means novice at
politics, though he is not a proverbial
office holder. Cleveland appointed him

and remained a private citizen until
elected to congress last year. He is

ALREADY STOOD 1Or
years, recalls public attention to the
curious story of long anti-Catholic OPP
position to the placing of statue of
a Roman Catholic priest in the capt.
tol. The fact that, in sympathy with
such opposition, great number OF
people demanded its removal has thus
far prevented it's formal acceptance by
the nation. So pronounced was the OPP
position that for long time two capi-
tol policemen were stationed as guards
for fear someone might attempt to
damage it.
All of which again brings to mind
that, notable as is this marble as
work of art, it still is in no sense
likeness of Father Marquette. Rather
it is an ideal" portrayal of him as
missionary and discoverer from the
hand and brain of Trentanove, noted
sculptor of Florence, Italy, and OF

they knew what Father Marquette
looked like. But short time ago
