Modified Hoops.

Despairing of the introduction Of the old
hoop skirt Of war days, which. though It
was all very well in the quiet cities of those
times, finds itself much cut of place in the
crowded street cars and in the intense
hurry of modern life, the Chicago Dress
makers club looks with favor on the modi-
fed hoop skirt offered by Nine Hosac. The
article. which was shown Is made OF
feather bone or any light material. The
size not exceeding a thirty-six to forty-two-
inch diameter.
Last year Chicago dressmakers tried their
best to reintroduce the large hoops, as the
tailors had used the peg-top trouser, the OBJ
ject being to revive the fashions of the late
sos and the civil war period. 1t was the in
tention to have the drawing rooms of today
present an appearance similar to that Of
the green room Of the White House during
the administrations of Buchanan and Lin
coin. But present-day conditions furnished
obstacles which made the task impossible.
The modern man could not be persuaded
that two-step or waltz would be enjoyable
If his partner wore hoop skirts. Nor were
the women enthusiastic over the prospect.
A glance at the prints in the papers and
magazines of the time when the hoop skirt
was in vogue failed to convince them that
there was anything artistic in a costume
which made the wearer resemble a highly
ornate church bell. and so the movement
fell into disfavor.
Far from feeling discouraged, the dress
makers have determined to undertake the
task of creating a modern hoop skirt, one
which will not, they hope, prove imprac-
ticable when brought into daily use in the
modern city with it's pushing crowds. They
even hope that in the final test to which
wearing apparel can be put, the crush at the
bargain counter, it will prove equal to the
strain.
AS may be guessed the new variety is ex-
tremely flexible and readily adjusts itself to
the movements OF the wearer, but there is a
certain mechanical regularity of motion i'm
parted to the swing of the skirt under
which it may be worn that it's presence is
easily noticed
Its sponsor is sanguine in regard to its
success and others gave it their approval
and before long it may be seen on the
streets daily.

THE collector OF customs of the port
Of Georgetown, d. c., has sent to
the White House the gifts re-
IzLTtlI ceived by Miss Alice Roosevelt in

articles we're valued at $4,000 and Miss
Roosevelt paid the duty Of 81, 2o6.15 by her
personal check.
Miss Roosevelt is now revealing in the
joyful task Of overlooking the costly silks,
embroideries. carvings and other things
beautiful enough to delight any feminine
heart. In the first place 1t was said that,
while the pecuniary value Of the gifts has
been nonstrously exaggerated, they are fine
enough to make any girl green with envy.
For one thing, unless Miss Roosevelt is
very generous, she will not have TO buy
material for summer gowns or ball dresses
for many years TO come. The dowager em-
press of China gave her twelve bolts Of em-
broidered crepe I'm every shade known to

She has dozens OF wcb-liko lace and en-
broidered silk stockings and parasols OF all
colors with jeweled handles and lace COW
ers and there are fans enough 10 STOCK
store. But things to wear are only one por-
ton Of these rare gifts. Some of the most
gorgeous are screens, small pieces OF furnl-
ture and draperies for the walls, windows
and doors These Miss Roosevelt intends TO
use. and some OF the furnishings OF her
bedroom and boudoir are being removed
Some OF the screens are masterpieces OF
oriental art, and no doubt these will be
placed in the state parlors, where they may
be admired this winter. Some Of the dra-
peries are equally costly.
Miss Roosevelt received two handsome
dover chests. one from the dowager en-
press and the other from the Philippines.
The presidents daughter will wear some
glorious strings Of jade beads this winter,
the gift Of the mikado, and her stock or
jewolry will be increased by pearl ring
from the sultan OF Sulu. bracelets and PEN
dants from the emperor of China, and many
curious and costly ornaments for her hair.
The empress of japan sent her the dainty
little tea set used for her entertainment,
and the gifts from Picking contained many
of the dainty porcelain ornaments which
adorned her rooms.

The Farmer and the Bicycle Agent.

Some years ago, soon after bicycles
began to be freely used throughout
the United States, an agent for a New
York house turned up at village in
central New York. He expatiated tc
an old farmer upon the virtues of the
new machine, dwelling upon what a
time-saver it was, and withal how
fashionable it would be for the old
farmer to be able to ride down to the
village on one of the new-fangled
machines whenever he wanted to.
"Why,' said the agent, whenever
you go down to the postoftce, bank,
or store everybody will stop and stare
at Farmer Wilson,, and pretty soon
you'll be the most-talked-of man in
the whole county,
"That may be so,' replied the
farmer: "but I tell you I'm a-needin
good COW mon I ann one O. them
things you're a-talkin' about.''
Nevertheless, the agent extracted a
r. oAA1oO lldu Cll0 Olu Glu1l WOulu Save
up his money and purchase a bicycle
when the agent came around in the
fall.
According to promise, the agent was
on hand in the fall with the wheel.
The farmer took him in charge and
carried him out to the lot and showed
him a fine Jersey COW.
"That's what I bought with the
money 1 saved up for you," said the
farmer. And without waiting for the
agent to recover from his surprise he
went on: IT flowed that I needed the
COW mon did the bicycle, an there
she is. Amt she beaut?''
When the agent recovered his breath
he said, "You'll look funny riding
that COW to town, won't you?''
"Ya-as." drawled' out the old
farmer, "but I'd look darned sight
funnier tryin' to milk bicyclen'-
