With all the Americans nervous de-
mand for change, novelty, in fashions of
dress and of house, in almost every
thing, still she keeps quite conservative
in regard to the bridal gown.
OF course, unless the bride have been
a widow, the dress will be white. Not,
however, the stiff, prim, usually unbe-
coming white satin that for SO long
considered the only material to be used.
Now one need not make the effort to
look ones worst on the wedding day,
may select some soft, gauzy stuff that
will add to what points of beauty are
possessed
The skirt of the thin material should
be made palmer for the bride than for
merely ballroom occasions, and the cos
tune az a whole court simplicity. The
modish touch will be given in elbow
sleeves, deep girdle, and perhaps a
fichu of silk muslin. This last is chosen
often this season, gives the demure
look, modest air, custom declares the
prof. er attitude for the new-made wife.
Many girl who is not moved by stern
necessity to economic, stillplans to have
the wedding gown SO fashioned that it
can be worn at other than the one great
event; for her at-homes in the after
noon, aud for different affairs; lace
yoke is made detachable, and the gown
serves without it for full-dress, with it
for less formal demands.
When the material is plain lace
edged or figured veil is liked; when
the dress material is figured plain illu-
sion makes more effective veil. In
choosing one, be sure to have the other
in mind. This centuries-old part of the
brides costume is draped as it has been
for long, high on top of the head, coro-
net fashion. But orange blossoms are
not de rigeur as formerly; the dear lit
tie bride roses are now wreathed about
the hair quite as frequently as the
sitter and fragile flowers of the orange
tree.
Bridesmaids dresses this spring fire.

Little boys now look less Lord Faunt-
leroyish, more outdoors, sturdy and
practical. The former fashion was pic
turesque, the present is sensible.
The little chap here pictured is at
tired in a dull blue linen suit, tie and
belt of red. His straight crop of hair
seems a fit part of the whole. simple and
no fol-de-rols. Red linen with belt and
tie matching is also very good, and one
may with almost equaF effect choose a
good cotton, which is strong, and does
not fade any easier than the linens.
Pique makes up very nicely for the
boys suit, and both coarse and fine
weaves of linen and cotton. For both
Russian and sailor suits duck. cham
bray, seersucker and Bingham are used,
checks preferred for the smaller boys
and plain goods for the older ones.
White serge for best is liked, but we con-
slider the mother rather foolish that in
sists all the suits be of white. Often the
colors are more becoming, and certainly
for rough wear are much more practi-
cal. And the best-dressed children
nowadays are the sensibly-dressed; we
see few frills and furbelows in well-to-
do families. Simplicity for children's
clothes is the keynote.
Of course, mother can spend a lot of
money in elegant simplicity, and Swiss
embroideries and broiderfe Anglaise are
not bought for a song. Little girls this
season will have embroidery rather than
trimmed frocks, embroidery to the
fore as it has not been in years. One
can choose daintiness for the small miss,
but if she is to be up-to-date, no fussi-
ness. Even with the long dresses for
the infant money is spent in hand-work
rather than over-frilling. The mother
in moderate circumstances is able to fol-
low thi1 lead. Fine handwriting is e.
tremeIy nice, and when an edge of real
Val is used at neck and wrist one may
have for small outlay dress that
equals the French importations, but by
no means approaches them in price
The first short frocks are made like
the infants long frock, and have much
the same trimming; handwriting, her
ring-hone and embroidery are appropri-
ate trimmings for these dresses that fall
strsigk. from neck band or short yoke.

Post Office Looted.

Afton.--Robbers looted the Alton post
Office and general store of John Brink
man a few miles south of the city, es-
Gaping, it is believed, towards Chicago
on one of the early morning trains. En-
trance was made through the front door
of the store, pane of glass being cut
out and the lock sprung back. The rob-
hers evidently expected trouble with the
safe, as appliances for blowing it were
left in their haste to get away. 1t hap
pened, however, that the safe door was
merely closed, the combination not hav-
ing been turned, and all the government
funds in the inner drawer were easily
taken.

Veteran Editor Dead.

Milwaukee.-William E. Cramer, aged
88, editor-in-chief of the Evening Wis
consin, of this city, died of pneumonia,
after an illness extending over period
of two months. Mr.. Cramer was the
last of the old-line editors. For 81 years
he directed the policy of the Wisconsin,
going to the office every day. Though
sadly handicapped by blindness and de-
fective hearing, he kept closely in touch
with the events of the day, and up to the
last not only took an active part in the
publication of his paper, but few issues
went to press without something on the
editorial page from his pen.

Although the conclusion Of peace be-
tween Japan and Russia seems long
way off, and the rumors regarding the
demands likely to be made by the gov
eminent of Toxic as possible basis
Of peace are more conflicting than
ever, there seems to be little doubt that
one result OF the war-supposing that
Japan continues to pursue her victor
ious course-will be the occupation by
the Mikado's troops of the island of
Sakhalin. Meanwhile, there are not
wanting reports that Japan is already
preparing for its occupation at an
early date. The place bears q terrible
reputation, more than half its popula-
ton being convicts, mostly murderers,
for it is not to Sakhalin that "politi-
Gals" are sent. A glance at the map
will show why Japan should be desir-
Gus of retaking Sakhalin, over which
she hoisted the Japanese flag early in
the last century. Some fifty years later,
however, Japan handed the island to
Russia, in exchange for the Kurile is
lands. From it's geographical position,
Sakhalin would seem naturally to be-
long to Japan, being the most northerly
of the japanese group. 1t is only sep
arated from the northern island of
Yezo by the Perouse strait. The latest
reliable information regarding this
Russian convict island from an Eng
fish source is to be found in Mr.. Halves
book, "The Uttermost East" lately
published in London and New York by
Harper Brothers. The author, young
Cambridge graduate, has given thrill
ing account OF his experiences, both
among the murderers and natives OF

uuently show a glimpse of green, per-
haps the girdle and the flower stems
will be all there is, just enough to look
cool and dainty. The dresses are all
made after the same fashion, the colors
the same, to give the best effect as a
whole. That of the maid-of-honor may
differ without spelling the picture.
Some brides of this season have scat
tered here and there in the voluminous-
ness of their silky gauzes sprays of bride
roses and green leaves, the tiny flowers
appear also in the bertha and about the
short sleeves. 1t is really pretty idea,
and does not detract from the simplicity
ideal as would trimming of the severe
satin, absolutely plain. 1t depends on
the BRIDES style; if she be the Skin
owy" sort, let her take to the fluffy,
softening gauzes.
Bridal underwear now is marked by
daintiness, fneness of material and
handwork, rather than wholesale use
of cheap lace. The French show much
better taste in this direction than we
do, who have fallen into the habit OF
ties from the department stores rather
than good materials made at home with
good workmanship. Handkerchief
linen is used by the French for bridal
lingerie, soft and fine and hand-em.
brOidered.
The going-away gown, Of course,
should not be conspicuously bridey.
One chosen by a recent bride was of a
faint check of mauve and cream, the hat
lilac chip trimmed with pale green rib
bon and lilac blossoms, the veil the
shade of the hat. A brown taffeta suit
makes a good travelling costume, the
Havana brown; the skirt and short
jacket after a plain tailored model, the
reveres of the coat displaying waist
coat of cream crash. A brown suede
belt would give this costume an up-to-
date air, and the shirt-waist may be
white lingerie, pongee in natural color,
or soft silk of light brown.

stockaded prison is the center of Alex
for the prison. The few merchants
stores and the iron foundry are for the
prisoners; the wooden houses are the
residences of the officials. Besides the
prison, the church in the main street
and the market place, there is not
much to call for attention According
to Mr.. de Windt, who visited the south
ern portion of Sakhalin, there are 5000
criminal conyicts located at Korsa-
kovsk, only about 1900 of whom are
actually under lock and key. The
town consists of one long, struggling
thoroughfare, commencing at the land
ing stage and abruptly terminating by
the huge prison. Among the Gilyaks
the bear fete has been sort OF bank
holiday.
The vast majority of the convicts are
women as may be seen by the fact
that the male population of the island
(Which, by the way, forms part Of the
of the viceroy of the far east) is some
three times that of the female. 1t is,
OL course, very lululy pcoplSu, even
now, the proportion of human beings
being onfy two to every five square
kilometerA which tells it's own tale of
isolation and wretchedness.
Some moths ago, shortly after the
outbreak of the war between Russia
and Japan, there came from Sakhalin
news of revolt among the prisoners,
who anticipated with joy the prospect
of an early reelsge at the hands of the
Japanese force.
The land and sea forces of the Mi
kado had, however, much more import

his wife. Gaul is half breed and the
shooting is the result of jealousy. He

Styles for Lads and Lassies

1t is now considered all right to put the
child into light-colored frocks as soon
as it can walk, although there should
certainly be a goodly supply of white
dresses. Some very dainty tiny frocks
are seen of pale blue and of pale pink
chambrey, the trimming feather stitch
ing in white and lace frills at throat and
hand of white lace. These, as with col
ored suits for the boys, are often more
becoming than all white, the color in
tensifying the color of eyes, cheeks and
hair. Try it and see.

Because he had no money and was

staff.
The address of Commander-in-C Chief
King covered the record in the admin

chief, whose service covered eleven
months of the term for which he was
elected.
"The work of the committee on pen.
sions has been mainly devoted to urg-

Der Of certificates issued in 1906 was
1S2,207-more than 10000 in excess of

cess of former years. This larger num-
ber was due to the operation of order

436 original pensions and 34,549 in
creased pensions under this order. The
pension roll now contains the names
of 684,60S surviving veterans of the
