THE THREE COMEDIANS

Probably Frank Daniels was never
so persistently complimented as he was
a short time ago in Pittsburg. Pa.
In the party supping with him one
night after the performance was
leading citizen Of that city, who had
been supping before, and not so wisely
as well. Between hiccoughs and drinks
he announced in loud voice that there
were only three real comedians in the
United States. Mr.. Daniels profess
sional curiosity was aroused and he in
quired who the three were.
"Well, I'll tell you." replied the be-
fuddled leading citizen. who happened
to be the owner of brewery. There's
you-get another drink here, boy!-and
there's yourself, and" shaking a finger
over the table, "I'll be hanged If can

ants likewise in two rows. A nasal,
twisting, staggering chant lifts and
falls, prodigal of cadenzas and scant
of words. Live Goals with incense are
brought in a small urn, the bridegroom
repeating his promises over them. Let
us hope they are not utterly con-
sumed therein.
The hands of the hadji are folded
between those of the bridegroom, and
he bends as If to kiss them and after
ward those of the attendants.
At last he Is led to where the bride
is hidden, and we follow in intrusively.
The bridegroom is huddled up in one
corner of the floor and the bride In
the opposite, with her back to him.
The attendants entreat her. She will
have none of them. We all retire and
the bridegroom goes back to his place
disconsolate. Is this Moro coquetry?
Negotiations begin, skinny black fees
bearing messages to and fro.
A prearranged moment of fearful
suspense is upon u.s.
At last she consents to be brought
out against her will, so to speak. But,
oh how limp. how utterly helplessl We
are evidently TO understand thattit Is
none of her doing and that she is
fainting from shyness and reluctance.
The women support her, steady her
and slowly ease her down on to the

and passing the cuspidor from hand to
hand, made us think of far other things
than eating and drinking
But at last the bridegroom arrived on
the shoulders of his mates, and at the
same moment we were turned back into
spectators and glad of it,!
A Jeffersonian simplicity marked his
costume. A bright twisted sash lent a
dash of color to his white gauze shirt
and drawers, and-what more could be
desired? He sat himself cross legged
in compartment No. 1 and gazed
gloomily at the floor.
Then came stir outside the house.
The bridesmaids were coming up from
the avenue of cocoa palms, each one
carried on the shoulder of Moro and
clinging tightly to his head.
At the first glance they appeared ar
tlficial. for the dark of their faces was
turned to a mask-like circus clown sort
of whiteyness by means of a pasty
chalk, the eyebrows were blackened
and a long, black bowcatcher iattened
to each cheek. the lips vermillion with
betel nut and the hair drawn tightly
up and crowned with little gilt orna-
ments.
And now, before the bridegroom, a
ceremony begins. A hadji, one time
pilgrim to Mecca, and hence white tur-
banned and bearing a blessed stone,
squats beside him on a mat; attend~

Leghorn Hats Popular

Leghorn hats, with wreaths of roses
or varicolored flowers, are to be worn
again this year, and this style of gar
den hat is ever a charming one. Large
lace hats, with soft brims and ribbon
and flower trimming, were found so
attractive last year that they will be
retained, while the poke bonnet effect,
gained by long ribbon streamers, to
be tied gracefully under the chin, is
also to be seen again this winter, where
the fashion proved becoming. For a
simple style of the so-called lingerie,
or embroidered baiste, hats have been
found most satisfactory and far more
becoming than the stiff sailor.
A medium weight wrap and duster
of pongee, mohair light silk or cloth
must always be included in an outfit.
White cloth coats are very smart and
the severely plain long Jacket and the
elaborate short wrap are seen at the
same gathering.

NEW FOUNDATION
FOR CAMPANILE

THE downfall Of that architectural
glory of Venice, the Campanile,
caused such dismay throughout
the archaeological and artistic world
that the engineers and experts charged
with the rebuilding of the tower are de-
termined to avert the recurrence of
such a catastrophe, and their work.
though slow, is certainly thorough.
According to the illustrations Ital-
lana, while the demolition of the old
towers ruins was still going on Signor
Giascomo Boni found that structural
weaknesses in the upper part, coupled
with geological changes, had laid the
Campanile low. The actual founda-
tions themselves had not subsided rela-
lively in any marked degre-.
1t has therefore been necessary to
minutely study the subsistence of the
bed of the lagoon and the subsoil of the
island as compared with the mainland,
as we'll as the exact dimensions of the
strata of sand, peat and clay through
which the piles pass.
Previous examination has proved that
these latter have retained their per-
pendicular position, and besides the
clearing of all the lower outlying work
at the base of the tower and solidly
repairing any flssure or weakness that
may menace the main structure, a
square mass of hewn stone will be
built above the actual foundations with
a view of distributing the whole mass
of the new edifice over larger area.

r. oRTUNATELY this is one of the

in which to shop, for new model
gowns have just beep brought over,
new materials are produced, new styles
are invented, and then all tailors and
modistes are on their "off season"
prices. Most remarkable bargains in
embroidered and braided robe dresses
are to be picked up, silks and dainty
lawns are selling at astonishingly low
figures, and even travelling gowns can
be had inexpensively. Quite a number
of women now find it an excellent plan
to provide their entire spring and sum-
mer outfits in these between months.
Most important is the smart travel
ing suit. Dark blue, black and white,
purple and tan are always good colors
for the travelling dress, although it is
rather the fad at present to dress in
ridiculously light shades of deep pastel
blue which will stand an astonishing
amount of hard usage, and all pastel
tones are much in vogue. Smooth
cloths are never good for travelling,
the cheviots, whipcord cloths or diff
ferent canvas materials all proving
more sensible. Checks and plaids in
light weight cloths and veilings are
appearing once more and their popu-
larity is pretty well assured. All
skirts for the spring, and particularly
all travelling skirts, are a sensible
walking length from two to three
inches from the ground. Coats are
both short and long, but the bolero
has rather given it's place to the Eton
or blouse jacket with wide, tight girdle.
Braidins on Spring Gowns
Braiding is one of the features of all
spring costumes, and coats and skirts
alike are braided, in black or in the
color of the cloth. While the dress
costumes are decidedly elaborate, trav-
cling gowns are extremely plain, many
being only relieved by the pique or
duck detachable collars Cloth skirts
are as full and flaring as ever, and
there are numberless new plated mod
els, all extremely attractive. In some

hips, while again many are trimmed |

THERE is Garden of Eden island
in the Sulu sea peopled by war
rior savages upon whom it is just
beginning to dawn that in future it
must reckon with a people more for
midable. more fixed of purpose and
also kinder than itself.
The name of the island is Jolo or
Sulu, and it lies far south in the Phil
ippine group, just east of Borneo. Its
people are mostly Moros. who are
known, moreover, as Moros of the
Moros.
A special interest now attaches to all
their quaint and savage customs and
ceremonies. which are destined to be
SO soon lost and forgotten.
In view of this / thought myself in
luck the other day when the command
ing colonel of our garrison and his wife
invited me to accompany them to Il
Moro wedding at the village of Tulai
just outside the walled city of Jolo, in
which we are stationed.
A Moro house is an airy affair, being
made mostly of the leaves Of the nipa
palm. and 1t might be called castle in
the s.f. as it is raised ten or twelve
feet above the ground on bamboo poles.

sleeves make a dressier style of gown
for dinner. Apart from the light So
called wash dresses there must be pro-
vided some one or two heavier gowns
for use when the thermometer may
chance to fall slightly. Wolfe gowns are
soft and graceful, pompadour silks and
flowered taffetas make up charmingly,

Lace gowns are effective whenever
fashionable, and whether over a white
or colored lining a lace robe costume is
bound to be smart. A lace gown is a
very useful article, for it will do SER
vice alike for garden fete or for even
ing wear. At one time a robe dress
was never made up over anything but
white, but the colored silks bring out
so well the pattern of the lace that
separate slips of different shades are
now provided with almost every lace
costume.
