ber of the Passamaquoddy tribe in
the smoking car and started in to
question his copper-colored constitu-
ent as to his manner of living and
how he liked the tribal relations in
Maine. After some minutes of talk
Mr.. Powers asked: by the way.
which of the two tribes do you be-
long to-" Myself bin all Passama-
quoddy," replied the Indian. Wat
tribe was you bin?" Before the Bos-
ton drummer who sat in adjoining
seats had finished laughing Mr.. Pow
ers discovered that he had urgent
business which called him to the Pull

Modes of the Little Trianon.

in upon the rare occasions Wheh size
and her court stole away TO the Lutte
Trianon to while away the hours IN
all sorts of pastoral pursuits nave
come down to us of today IN many
pictures and portraits.
Such Is one of those examples OF
elaborate simplicity whose cost IS ap-
palling to the unintiated. The gown is
in a sheer silk organdie, pointilie ana
printed in a dull, blurred, faded rose
design, the ground being one OF those
indefinite and indefinable greens that

mony and relief The front Is after

crusted with a Spanish lace OF sheer

nance the rich effect The bodice por-
ton is cut away in front, the should
ers of lace with scant rufile and a
black satin ribbon ceinture seeming to
hold the gown into the figure at the
waist. The long skirt has the fullness
increased by the use of founce
which. in its turn, is decaed with a
pair of little shirred rufIies, cut on the

adds the last touch of an old-world air

Cost CT Gloves.

Il takes a small fortune TO glove a
woman we'll in this day Of the elbow
sleeve. The ordinary long glace or
suede glove necessary with the cos
tune Of the hour cost $3.50 a pair.
Few women, even those living a
comparatively simple life. can get on
with less than q dozen pairs. and the
gloves seem to give way in gusset or
seams or finger tips in an uncon-
scionably short time.
The ever alert French people have a
remedy at hand In the shape of a
handless glove. The economically in
clined can be as we'll gloved as her
rich sister by its use.
The long arms come in 16 and 20
glace kid and vary in price from s1.65
to $l.S5. At the wrist are two button
holes which fasten to any ordinary
short glove. This means a great saw
ing for one pair Of tops outlasts a
dozen gloves ard then the tops do not
soil so easily as the hand part; and
SO one cheats the cleaner, too.
Glove men say that it is impossible
to fill the demand fer these tops, and
they hope soon to gel in all colors.
Another good feature about having
the top of the glove separate is that
it does away with tucliing the glove
into the top when eating. This not
only looks awkward, giving the wrist
a clumsy appearance. but made the
glove shabby in short order. Now it
is a simple matter 10 unfasten the top
and remove the short glove, leaving the
forearm fashionably covered.
Of course the very smartest gloves
are all in one piece and run as high as
500 a pair. They come in eXquisitely
delicate shades and are richly en-
hrcidered. In most cases the suede is
of such fine texture that it is gone with
one or two wearings and is far too
dainty to lend itself to the cleaners
none too gentle art. Gloves for full
dress evening wear are sorGeously
wrought in gold and silver and take
one back to the days when ones faith
in fairyland was the largest thing in
life. They cost fabulous sums
