Revival of the Album.

The photograph album is about to
be restored to popular favor For the
past ten years it has been relegated
to the garret, while people have hung
the pictures Of relatives and friends
in airy bits Of wire known as the pho
tograph holder, interjected into stray
corners Of bureaus or dressing tables
and generally maltreated them and al
lowed them to be subjected to the dust
and CRIME of the daily atmosphere.
The now general use of the camera
has helped to restore the once passe
picture aliam to its former dignifed
position on the parlor table.
The new photograph albums are diff
ferent from those Of the days Of long
ago. They are far more artistic and
easy to handle Sometimes they are
made Of fine leather, sometimes OF
soft kid, but at all events they are not
so likely to jar upon artistic sensible
ties as did the velvet and plush af.
fairs which were once the pride and
adornment of the parlor tables of all
well-regulated households.

Some of the long coats are really
overskirts. while some of the skirts
have overskirt effect, and are com
pleted with smart little coats. So
every woman can be suited according
to her figure and her means. The
long coats are very smart, and many
women favor them for very cold
weather, but it is quite as possible to
be comfortable in the pretty small
coat, whose fascinating chic will sure
ly hold it in favor as the spring adj
vances. If warmly interlined, and an
extra skirt is adopted for outdoor
wear, the short coat will be found
quite as comfortable as a long one. A
special feature of the new short coats
and Eouses is the belt, which has
perfectly ftted and feather-boned
lining on which the velvet or silk is
shirred, draped or plated; the small
coats show the waist line all around,
so the fastening of the belt is an i'm
portant matter; it must be invisible
and is, therefore, made decorative. In
the blouse coats the belts fasten with
fancy clasps or buckles and many odd
ad charming shapes are shown for this
purpose. The long plain buckle is
chosen for the simpler suits, and elab-
crate art nouveu clasps for the dressy
models.

Glove chanqes.

There's a sharp dividing line be-
tween gloves for evening and for
street wear.
Evening gloves have come out-like
laces-in the daintiest of colors, in
stead of the all-white or the all-black,
which were the rule last winter, says
the Philadelphia North American.
Even pale sea-greens-so soft and
clear as to suggest the green just un-
der white sea foam-are found TO
match the sheer green laces and nets
that whole party frocks are made of.
Street gloves keep to their mascu-
line styles. Even the white gloves,
for theater. for calling. for half a hun
dred purposes. are getting heavier.
and fasten with single big button,
as like the mems as two peas.

three most popular colors. Suede is
good, but suede gloves must be pique

HIS STEAK WAS READY.
Sarcasm Of the Wife Not Wasted on
the Delinquent Husband.


Sarcasm loses nothing by awaiting
the psychological moment for its ua-
terance. Also 1t oftentimes is most
fraught with the sharpness of two
edged sword when it is contained in
a simple statement of fact
A husband given to periodical looks
upon the cocktail when 1t contains a
cherry, his glance at such times dwell
ing thereon for two or three success
sive days without interruption, arose
one morning recently with head out
Of all proportion to his hat measure,
and throat that felt like limekiln
No explanation was needed when he
told his wife he was going out for a
moment to get rid of the olive green
taste in his mouth; he would be back
right away. All she said was Bring
steak home with you for breakfast"
He went to a cocktail dispensary
and got his brace. AS he was going
out he met friend, who told him he
would feel better If he had another.
He did feel better, so much better
that he was prevailed on further to
improve the state Of his physical and
mental being by third diving after a
cherry. He did not see his home for
two days.
Again, one morning he awoke with
iron hands pressing into his head and
his tongue cleaving to the roof of his
mouth. His wife heard him stirring
and went to the door Your steak is
ready" she said.

White GIoves ponuIar.

1t was observed at the horse show
that gloves, even with tailor gowns,
were almost invariably white, says the
New York Post One would hardly
have suspected the existence of col
ored gloves; yet once in a while a
glove matching the costume was eu-
eountered. Pale gray with a 8 y
gown was seen on several occasions.
White, however, is the favorite, and
strictly speaking, is the only correct
glove except for rough wear. Both
suede ard glace kid are correct. The
long elbow glove worn with short
sleeves is generally suede. The So
called twenty-button glove is the most
popular of these, and it is allowed to
wrinkle on the arm in loose folds.

soda. When the wax and soap are
thoroughly dissolved place the mix

ford was to go. In the evening Jane
came breathlessly upstairs. She was
passing the parlor and had overheard
the captain say to Miss Milford, Say
yes, my dear" That was all, but it
was enough and Mrs. Clark felt that
the whole edifice she had so carefully
built about those two thousand pounds
was toppling to the ground.
Miss Milford left early the next
morning. What Mrs Clark said to
her man knoweth not, bus a woman

breath Of relief
But the house Mrs. Clark had build

rested on the sand. That evening
Captain Bascom announced that he
was going to London the next morn

"WAen he goes. III go. too" said
Mrs. Clark; there was fight in Mrs
Clark.
Captain Bascom took the 8 a. m.

10 a. m. train, and on her arrival in
London was driven directly to the
doclis, where lay the captains steam
er.
You've just missed 'im,' said the
mate. in answer to her enquiry for the
captain. "'E's took a cab and gone

He. however. remembered the ad-

driver, snd Mrs. Clark re-entered her

Plainly there was womans voice
coming f1pm the room which was
designated as containing the captain.
and Mrs Clark shuddered and glanced
at her daughters. It was too late, for
the captain himself opened the door
and beckoned them in.

thin, emaciated man held her hand

Reneflt In Two Meals a DAY.

Persons who are the victims OF
chronic complaints, and whose diges-

greatly BENEFITED by taking but two
meals day. if they are careful to cat
as much in the two meals as would
ordinarily be comprised in three. The
neuralgia, in particular, will do well to
adopt this course, but the first meal
should be somewhat late and the sec

prayers for forgiveness. mixed with
her own hands. Mrs. Clark went to
bed relieved. Evidently Miss Nit
