the Yale eleven during the past season,
but his head was not affected by the
praise bestowed upon him. Shevlin
is figure unique in old Ellis demo-
cratic university. The son of an in
dulgent millionaire lumberman, he has
untrammeled access to cords of cash
piled up in Minneapolis banks. When
ever "Shev" sees anything he wants,
all ne has to do is to sign his fathers
name to check, add his own initials
below the signature and take away the
goods. The problem of self help at
Yale is not his; merely the formality
of helping himself. In justice to Yale
it must be understood that Shevlin's
wealth had nothing to do with his
election to the captaincy. It was his
muscle, not his money, that landed
him the football leadership. Still, he
possesses the wherewithal in bulk
worthy of remark in a Yale captain.
There's a familiar saying that money
talks. Sometimes Shevlin's is audible,
and sometimes it isn't. Occasionally he
bursts forth in suit of clothes that is
suggestive of crashing finale by Wag-
ner (not Hans). Hes easy for the
sartorial salesman, says his room
mate. eff he's told that Reggie Won
Astorbilt has suit or pair of shoes
just like those offered to him, he closes
the deal then and there" Generally
speaking, however, Shevlin's money
toots rather than talks, for the auto
mobile makers and repairers profit
most by his disbursements. These are
his two extravagances-hisc clothes and
his motor cars. He neither smokes nor
drinks. In his freshman year Shevlin
won three Y's by playing end on the
eleven, throwing the hammer on the
track team, and filling in a gap at
right field on the nine after the track
team had finished it's season. Since
freshman year Shevlin has been on
Yale's football and track teams and
has been picked as an all-American
end after each Of his three football
seasons. He has the strength of a
battleship, with the speed of a torpedo,
and takes more steps in game than
any other man on the field. Samuel F.
B. Morse, who played right half back
during the past season, has been elect
ed as his successor.

he arrived at the Norton home. The
heavy odor of roses, the suspicion of
charcoal from the samovar, and, above
all, the animated chatter from the
guests made his head ache, so he was
very grateful when Bessie Shaw mo-
toned him into a deep window seat
upon pretense of consulting him about
favors for the next cotillion. They
were hardly seated when some one
beckoned Bessie away and she left him
with voluble promises to return in a
moment
Wingate leaned back against the
cushions and drew the heavy draperies
as a screen between himself and the
glittering kaleidoscope of the room.
Presently there was a rustic of skirts
and two ladies seated themselves on a
divan beyond the curtain. Wingate
had no desire to play eavesdropper, but
his position seemed too desirable to
leave. so with half-closed eyes he set
tied himself to await Bessie's return.
The first words of his unseen neigh
bors reused him to instant interest,
however, for it was Margaret Little
who spoke.
Now Aunt Madge, what is it this
timer" she asked, with a defiant note
in her voice.
"Only one question, Margaret" was
Miss Redmond's calm reply. why
have you asked Bertram Wingate to
the New Years dinner?"
Charity, pure and simple, I assure
you, Aunt Madge," laughed Margaret
HE doesn't seem to belong anywhere
In particular. New Years is such a
stupid day now that no one receives
and he has been very nice to me, you
knowi"
"He has been more than NICE" said
Miss Redmond gravely. ''He has
seemed thoroughly devoted for several
months. The New Years dinner has
beea family festival with us fol-
many years because it celebrates your
fathers birthday, as well as the general
holiday, and an invitation to that din
ner might seem"
Nothing of the sort, auntie," inter
rupted Margaret. Perhaps it was
thoughtless of me to ask him to that
dinner, but am sure Sertram Win
gate knows better than to dream he
can draw plans for spending papa's
money. Why. I wouldn't think Of mar

For evening wrap and the street
suit the long wrap is usually chosen,
but for dressy afternoon wear the
| short Jacket holds its own. We con-
fess we find long flowing skirt and
cloak with long flowing lines particu'
| larly graceful; but we add that there
is a lot of style to the short jacket.
| This year the short velvet coat is very
fashionable, and it certainly is fetch
ing with a skirt of broadcloth, wheth-
| er the same color or not. One OF the
costumes in highest favor at recent
gathering of Vanity Fair, was black
velvet coat worn with skirt OF blue
| yoile: the collars, cuffs and revers OF
the coat of ermine. Another attract
i've costume had a broadcloth skirt
adorned with velvet trimming in
some fanciful arrangement, and the
short Elton was of velvet matching the
skirt trimming. One sees number
of short fur wraps, these not so good
as those of velvet.
A black panne suit, skirt and short
Jacket. is a good investment this
year; the short coat may be worn,
and very stylishly, with various
skirts. The season has offered moth
ing of better fashion than certain OF
the black panne suits.
Yesterday we saw a pretty little
black broadcloth costume on a young
girl, the skirt and coat both short.
The narrow girdle of the jacket was
lightly trimmed in green broadcloth,
and the vest showed a bit OF green.
The sleeves were short, they and the
omen front disclosed a white lingerie
waist beneath. The hat and veil were
of green, the neck-piece and nat Pill
low muff of Persian lamb. 1t was a
cold day. and the girl had to thrust
her thinly glad arms deep in the pill
! low muff.
Having spoken of the short, con-
+rastine wrap. we may now call at
tention to the short basque coat Tor
evening wear in color contrasting
with the skirt. It is a quaint fash
ion. and may be very becoming; or 1t
NAV be made eccentric; it depends
much on the style of the wearer. An
excellent model was pink-fowered
pale blue silk worn with a petticoat
of white taffeta batiste. This takes
us back to the days when grandmam-
ma was young.
When we speak Of short coats you
must not imagine we refer to cor
set-tight designs. BY no means, many
of the briefer jackets are semi-htting,
there are short empires, there are
countless boleros. And even the
blouse is not wholly banished. We
should say it is the three-quarter
wrap that goes in for the close fit,
that Jackets and evening wraps are
as a rule loose. But,.as we suggested
above. there is no absolute rule as to
the pedestrian costume; one sees
many a well-dressads woman trudging
along in long automobile toys, rain
proof. and dust-proof: then there is
the girl with the circular skirt and
close Jacket; and many medium
length skirt and half-loose jacket is
met with. Equally well dressed and
suitably dressed may appear the WON
an with the redingote suit, Fashion

THE DRESSY SHORT JACKET

Even a princess street suit has ap-
peared, the skirt shortish, the coat
fancy little bolero, the sleeves elbow
length. But this is, needless to re-
mark, is a costume for show rather
than the everyday needs of robust,
athletic girl. That sort may do we'll
to keep to long easy sleeves, snug,
warm jacket, really abbreviated pet
ticoat. And for the outdoor girl we
would recommend the alfred suit; a
dull, not a brazen red. A garnet

"Ollie" James, representative OF
Kentucky, says that while he and
certain friends were studying the bill
of-fare in hotel on the New Jer-
sey coast a mosquito alighted on the
card.
It instantly lost its life by a quick
blow from the man holding the card
it's little carcass remaining on the

the remains and said to the waiter:
do you ever serve these on toast
here?"
They're on the bill, sir!" was the
witty retort of the waiter.-Nashvillc

broadcloth with hat to match is fine
for winter weather, and may be worn
by almost anyone, by blond, brunette,
'half-and-half."
The invisible plaids in green and
blue blendings are among the best
street suits, and these are seen both
in redingote style and short jacket.
The better ones are either close or
more than semi-ftting, plaids not
dressy enough for the voluminous
wrap. In regard to wells, we think
preference is given to the veil match
ing the hat, whether or not dress and
hat match. A green veil is unbecom-
ing to the average woman, with the
blue and green plaid the blue veil is
the choice. Gloves are unobtrusive,

will attempt to
lift the American polo cup has been
discussed in the east recently. Should
such trip take place it will naturally
assist the game in this country. For
10 years now has the coveted trophy
been in the custody of birmingham.
1t was in 1886 that the challenge cup
was presented by the Westchester
County club, which had been founded
some two years before, with head
quarters at Newport, r. l., and an invi-
tation was issued to Nottingham to
send over team to play a series of
matches against America. The invita-
ton was accepted ard the conditions
made by the Westchester club were
that the best of three games should be
played, that the inaugural series
should be decided under American
rules, and that subsequent challenges
should be played under the rules of the
country holding the trophy for the
time being. Only two games were
called for, both being won easily by
the visitors at Newport, and the cup
was taken to birmingham, where it
has 1eposed ever since. There was no
challenge for the cup until IA years
later, in 1900, when four individual
American players, who happened to
be in England, banded together and
played for the trophy.
The team was in no sense of the
word representative, and but one
match was played, England winning
comfortably by goals to 2. The latest
series of matches for the cup took
place shortly before Christmas, 1901.
United States Polo association cabled
over a challenge to birmingham, and
sent ever a thoroughly representative
team, captained again by Foxhall
Keene. the four other Americans who
played in one or more of the three
matches decided being ]. e. Cowdin, R.
L. Agassiz and the brothers ]. NJ. Wa
terbury, Jr., and L. Waterbury. The
Americans beat the English team in
the first match by 2 goals to 1. The
second match was wen by the English
quartet by goals to 1, while the third
match, and the rubber, was won by
the British team by the score of z
goals to 1, thus retaining possession
of the cup.
The University of Michigan Athletic
association netted $4,000 profit on the
1905 football season, enabling it to pay
a debt of $1,000 which existed on Sep
TENDER 1, the result of improvements
on Ferry field, and has handsome
balance for further improvements OF
the field.

fHnaAIE. Jhof,xev me-" Little things

you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is SO close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry

to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia

Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 100 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:

up we'll for the number OF men enlisted
and about 95 men in 100 are present
at camp. In only two instances as far
rs is known the men all were willing
TO come into camp but some were pre-
vented by the nature of their work, and
n week in camp would have meant the
loss Of their positions.
There were, however. two cases OF
men who did not want to come TO
camp, both being In Co. F. and Cap
tain Bennett Immediately took steps
to reclaim his men, who had taken leg
bail before the company left Sanford,
last Saturday morning. One OF the
men was located and brought to camp,
where he has agreed to settle for the
expense incurred in getting him to
camp and Is now doing duty in the co.
II cook shack.
The other man was located down In
Massachusetts and as the local ofncefs

things will be left as they are until this

a taste Of what military law Is, Tor
the captain is really worked up over
the way In which the men tried to pun
the wool over his eyes.
In explaining the circumstances
which brought about the situation.
Capt. Bennett stated to the Journal
correspondent that had the men come
to him and told him they wanted to
get off and not go to camp 1t would
have been all right, but when they
tried to get the best of him he started
on the war path with the result that

The first event was the 100-yards dash
and the winner. Clouter of Co. /, made
the distance in II seconds. Earles of Co.
f. finished second and Thompson of Co.

The second event, the 22O-yards dash.
furnished perhaps the closest race of
the day and was won by Whitemore of
Co. E. Alden Of Co. C. was second, and
Prickles of Co. L, third.
The bayonet race was something of
an Innovation. five bayonets being placed
IN the ground 10 yards apart and when
they finally gathered in, after being
placed separately on the gun stock the
men stood at attention. Norton of Co.

ond. and Carver of Co. c. third. Time.
40, 45 and As seconds, so 1t will be seen
that the race was interesting and close
ly contested.
Next came the equipment race and
consisted in man dropping his hat,
taking off legSings, dropping roll, TAX
ing off shoes and dropping Of gun and
then on the home run to replace his
equipment properly. The race was close
from start to finish and was won by
Ellis of Co. c, while Chandler Of Co.

2 minutes, 45 seconds.
There were two teams ready for the
tent race which consisted of pitching

most within the record, the tent being
pitched and ready for occupancy in the
short space of two minutes. Sergt Hill
