For Festive Occasions.

Broadcloth in the pale shades is
tremendously popular for afternoon
frocks, the majority of which are built
on princesse lines. Gowns of this
type are also much liked for theater
wear, and a pretty suggestion is pale
blue broadcloth, plain over hips and
trimmed at bottom with three deep
applied tucks. The little bolero front
has fiat collar and tiny straps of
black velvet. the latter fastened down
with small gold buttons. Some deco
ration confines the fullness at finish
of elbow sleeves. and jabot of cream
lace falls from the neck With this
is worn selftone felt hat, with gold
cloth band around crown and large
black plumes on side.

O6AF IN <ts-SouaiuucHs
The Prince OF Courtland turned an
angry countenance upon his friend.
but the keen-witted Muscovite looked
SO kindly and yet so sadly upon him
that after a while the severity OF his
face relaxed as 1t had been against
his will, and with quick gesture he
added. Il believe you love me, Ivan,
though indeed your words are no bet
ter than red-hot pincers in my heart
Love you. Louis?" cried Prince
Ivan. 81 love you better than any
brother have, though they will never
live to thwart me as yours thwarts
you-better even than my father, for
you do not keep me out of my inherit
ancei"
Then in a gayer tone he went on:
Il love you so much that | will
pledge my fathers whole army to help
you. first to win your wife. next TO
take Hohenstein. Kernsberg and Ma
rienfeld. And after that. If you are
still ambitious. why-to Plassenburg
and the Wolfmark. which now the
Executioner's Son holds. That would
make a noble kingdom to offer fair
and wilful queen"
And for this you ask-?"
only your love, Louis-only your
love! And, If it please you, the alli-
ance with that Prince of your honor
able house. of which we spoke just
now,"
my sister Margaret. you mean? |
win do what | can, ivan. but she also
is wilful. You know she is wilful! /
cannot compel her love,"
The Prince Ivan laughed.
81 am not SO complaisant as you.

my bride on the day Joan of the
Sword Hand sleeps in the palace of
Courtland, as its princess, and will
take my chance of winning our Mar

The New Spring Shirt Waists.

The first spring shirt waists are
stiff ones of linen, tucked straight up
and down the middle of both front
and back. and finished with small
cuffs, like the negligee shirts men
wear. With them are worn stiff turn
over collars. with the tiniest of ties
made into a bow directly in front.
The collars are embroidered. and the
ties may be of silk, or of velvet rib
bon, or even lingerie ones, exquisitely
embroidered, but only the smallest
bows that you can make are allow
able.

Worthy of Place in Spring Outfit.

In the new things, recently OBJ
served in a bridal trousseau. there
were some which will prove of inter
est to the woman who is getting up
her spring outfit. One was a gown of
grey velvet, made princess. 1t was
cut without break from neck to
train. and was made up faultless in
at and without one speck of trim
ming of any kiRd-save around the
neck. Here there was set a deep
square yoke of Irish point lace with
a pair of velvet suspenders going
over the shoulders and fastened with
silver buckles.

Wore Red Leather Shoes.

A famous beauty-a Russian mar
ried to a Parisian-has made red
leather shoes fashionable this season
At big reception for a royal person
age she appeared in a lovely costume
of cream lace embroidered in silver
and with little shoes of bright red
leather, with silver heels and diamond
buckles on the low fronts. The stock
ings were of pure white silk and every
one agreed that the red shoes lent
quantity picturesque air to the whole
costume.
Ordinarily one would wear red silk
stockings with red shoes, but the
white stockings recalled the twinkling
feet of Spanish dancers in sunny An
dalusia, and they were much admired.

ONE OF LINcoLN's STORIES.
Senator Foraker Uses Anecdote to
Draw a Parallel,

Before Senator Foraker was elected
to the Office he now holds he practiced
law in Cincinnati, says the New York
American. 1t is said of him that his
fees were larger than those of any
other attorney in Ohio. 1t is generally
known that he is poor man so far
as earthly possessions GO. Senator
Platt, of New York. asked him not
long ago why he held himself down to
$4,000 job. whereas if he confined
himself to legal practice he could grow
enormously rich.
81 am told that you get bigger fees"
said the New Yorker, that any
other attorney out your way"
Which reminds me of one of Mr..
Lincolns stories," answered the Ohio
an. When he was boy one of his
mothers neighbors was so poor as to
excite the pity of all those who Srew
her. She had world of children. and
1t was said of them that they never
had enough to eat. When young Abe
was trudging schoolward one morn
ing he met one of the boys. His heart
melted at the sight of the gaunt and
hungry appearing lad, and quickly his
hand went into his luncheon basket
and drew forth a ginger cake. He
broke 1t in twain and the boy COB
bled it up. He gave him the other
piece, and that went down the boys
throat in one gulp.
You like ginger cakes. don't you?'
inquired Abe of the widows boy.
II does was his answer, I likes
em more and gifts less of m than any
boy in Sangamon county
And that is my story" continued
the senator. When l practiced law I
liked big fees better than any one ON
earth, and got fewer of them than any
other lawyer out my way"

Eads In RnaS-

There are boa fads as well as boa
conventionalities and one of the fads
is for the fancy boa in several shades
of Alice blue to match an Alice blue
gown. 1t should be big and fluffy and
thrown around the neck in careless
fashion. 1t can be fastened with a
little gold clasp and chain. There
must be big fluffy muff to match
and the muff should be fiat and all
trimmed with frills.

~Sheep.Raisina Regions.

Sheep will be again largely raised
east of the Mississippi river as well as
west of it. For several decades OF
years, there has been a gradual drift
of sheep business to the Rocky Noun
tain regions. All the states east of the
Mississippi river have suffered losses
in the number of sheep, except the
state Of New Jersey, and this state Is
only holding its own. But this condi.
ton must soo be reversed. In the
recent past, men that were going into
sheep raising and had money to invest
in sheep on a large scale have looked
about them for a suitable place for
their breeding operations. In every
case they have found the Rocky Noun.
tain states to offer greater induce.
ments than did the more thicky settled
states. This was because in the
Rocky Mountain states there were
vast regions that could be taken pos.
session OF without cost. The limit,
however. has been reached. All the
good sheep pastures in the mountain
regions are stocked, and overstocked
with sheep. There is a constant strug.
gle now between the different ranch
men as to who shall possess the land.
Whatever the results to individuals,
these lands cannot carry any more
sheep than they do at the present time.
But the population of the country Is
increasing and the demand for sheep
products will never be as small as it
has been. Prices must necessarily
rise, and it will become more neces.
sary to increase the number of sheep.
Since the Rocky Mountain regions can
not respond to this increased demand,
the other states will. The farmers
living in the middle west will do well
to hold on to the sheep they have and
gradually increase the numbers OF
