FASHION RANCHES.

It is fad this winter to match fur wrap in a hat. In some furs this is decidedly expensive. but in sealskin and lynx the fashion is not so extraya- gant. Sealskin. however, is never ef- fective apart from some color or rich CT fur. O.
 That this Is a season of extremes Is exemplified in furs Side by side one sees the tiniest gauge fans a few inches long and great exquisite fans of ostrich feathers.
 Fine black stockings have embroid- cries of tiny blue and pink silk flowers.
 Hand-embroidered ehemIsettes of sheerest blue or pink linen are lovely.
 Diamonds and pearls are the only jewels allowed in mourning.
 Fancy hose supporters are covered with Dresden ribbon shirred on the rubber and have pretty rosettes at each of the clasps.
 gowns of velvet are worn with bole- ros or Etons of sealski1- The two combine effectively.
 Stylish and serviceable are the new belts of leather made of two narrow pieces of leather stitched together through the center and fastened with a stout buckle
 Shir1vaist sets consist of a backis and three pins Ia the same design

Myself. l say It in all modesty, although it is perhaps more than ought to say; and yet when two souls who need each other, who, firmly be- lieve, were intended for each other when two such souls may-er-unite to the lasting happiness of both, surely the lack of few plain words should not keep them apart"

 The young mans face changed color. May I ask why?"
 Because you are too romantic"
 "Too romantic!"
 "Yes. I believe irl poetry and TO- nance, but after all they are only a part of life. Happiness depends, so much more than you seem to realize, upon material things.

case, so to speak, ever since. Now, you're laughing again! I know I'm making a botch of this, but I can't help it. Tnever had the knack of say Ing sentimental things-but maybe if you'll give me chance to practice, 1 shall improve. I'm a stupid sort of chap. a thousand miles beneath you in every way-I can't even offer ycu the sort of home you ought to have, not yet, that is-but I'm sure nobody in the world could love you more than I do, or work harder to make you hap py. And if you cared for me little, 1 think I'd have the courage and the strength to succeed in anything. Is there-is there any hope for met"
 The girl gazed down into the red-hot coais in the grate. A slow smile wreathed her lips. There is some thing funny about il" she remarked at length.
 "Funny!" echoed the young man.
 "Yes, I mean in the way things have happened. Your proposal is the third I have received within a week"
 -The thirdl" repeated the young man. ruefully. Then I can see my fn- ish. Did you-did you accept either of the others?" "Ths first" she replied with delib- eratIon, q refused because he is too romantic, and not only too poor to sup port a wife. but too impractical to be likely to do so."
 "ohl And the second7- "The second refused because he is so painfully matter-of-fact and thinks too much of money and the material things of life"
 -And-and the third.- The young mans voice trembled-
 -The third" continued the girl. still looking into the fire. -the third is not in the least romantic On the other hand. he is not a bit practical and am sure he is in no position to sup port a wife who has been brought up in laxury. And yet-and yet

THREE PROPOSALS.
By HAROLD EYRE
Copyrisht. i0oo. by Joseph E. Bovles.)
THE FIRST.

HIN CA4sSAs
 From where he sat the young man could see his reflection in the pier glass. Taking advantage of moment when the girls attention was distract ed. he raised his hand furtively to LIS brow and with a movement almost im- perceptible. ruined the long hair into more picturesque disorder.
 Miss Norton" he began, when her gaze agaiL met his, twill you allow me to leap for an instant the barriers of convention which surround us?"
 Certainly" she answered, If you don't leap too high"
 "Oue cannot leap too high," he ob- served sententiously, mot even to reach a star. I want you to let me talk to you for . little while freely and frankly, as one human being to another. Let me ask you this: Do you mt have moments when the whole world seems a vast expanse of dark meas without the oasis of single beam of light?"
 q suppose" she assented, I've all have our moods of depression. don't know why I should hope to escape them" p"yes.v he continued. You have youth. beauty, intellect-a rare com bination.. And still by your own ad- mission you are not happy. Does not that point . moral?
 T don't know, I'm sure. What moral?"
 .sIt is that you were not sent into the world to live alone. What you need is the companionship of a kindred soul. of one endowed with the quali- ties requisite to round your life into q harmonious whole"
 .I see. And what kind of person do you think that kindred soul ought to be!"
 lpvoluntarily the young mans eyes sr,in sought the glass. ~In the first place be should have youth and health. Worldly possessions In such . natter are of little consequence. When two people are happy in them selves. poverty loses its sting What is much more important is that this kindred soul should be in complete sympafhy with you. He should be a man of the world. yet unsullied by contact with the more isnoble things of life. He should have an artistic tsmpersnent. capable of sppreeiating the beautiful in every form. Above aIl hs should understand you fully. so that he might read your heart like an open book
 -Wbst . vonderfuIly gifted individ- nj be would have to be-" remarked ths girl Do yoa know anyone vhs could do all that!'

THE SECOND.

"Pm a plain man, Miss Morton, and haven't the knack of dressing my thoughts in frills, like French lamb chops. When I have anything to say, come right to the point. That has always been my way"
 q think it's very good way" she remarked.
 Then I'll come down to my propo- sition. As you may know, I'm a fairly successful man. Not Rockefeller, by any means, but could draw check with seven figures on 1t and still have a few dollars left in the bank. I have good health and no bad habits, unless you put smoking in that class. Do make myself plain?"
 Quite plain" said the girl, with a little smile.
 He nodded approvingly. q see it don't take you long to tumble when a man is talking business. Maybe you can guess what want to say. I'm about tired of being bachelor. It's all right for young fellows that can run around, but when a man is past 40-Tm 46. if you'd care to know-he gets mopy if he hasn't . home. A business man. especially, needs female interests to keep him from thinking too much about his affairs. I have known you long time and have been sizing you up, and I've come to the conclusion that you'd make a first class wife for . man like me"
 Thank you SO much for your good opinion"
 You needn't thank me; I didn't say it to please you, but because its what I think. Now. I suppose you'd like time to consider. It isn't business like to decide things of this kind in . hurry"
 But I think I can give you an am sver now"
 You can, eh? So much the better. if you have really made up your mind Whats the verdictf"
 I'm afraid" said the girl, "we are not at all suited to each other"
 Why not7"
 ~Becsuse-because you are too prac- ticzl."

that means a great deal to me. ;

that means great deal to me-
 That sounds interesting. Why don't you say it?"
 Because now that I am here, it seems very hard to say. As I was coming along the street, knew just how wanted to express myself, but now I'm all tangled up and don't know where to begin.'
 How mysterious! Does that hap pen to you very often?"
 Please don't laugh at me- I shall never get through it if you do. This is very serious matter"
 'I am listening," she said, with a little air of resignation.
 ''It's just this" he continued desper- ately; I'm head over ears in love with you. It began the first time I saw you, and I have been a hopeless

A POWERFUL NAVY.
French Minister of Marine Would Prepare For War.
MUST KEEP PACE WITH GERMANY.
Berlin Government Willing to Accept Aussian Proposals For Policing of Morocco and Thus End
 the Dispute.

Russian Proposals For Policing
 of Morocco and Thus End
 the Dispute.
 PARIS, March I'M. Lockroy, for mer minister of marine, took adyan- tage of the discussion of the naval budget in the chamber of deputies to make n powerful appeal for the strengthening of the navy which arous- ed the enthusiasm of the whole house. Comparing the French and German navies, NJ. Lockroy pointed out that if the present programme of France is not augmented Germany will soon out strip France.
 Should war between France and Ger many break out, the orator said, it would begin with naval battle and therefore doubly powerful French fleet was necessary owing to the need of France to defend herself both in the North sea and in the Mediterranean. The strengthening of national de- 1 lenses, in NJ. .Locliroy's opinion, was the best guarantee of peace, for 1t was necessary to prepare for war if the na- tioh did not desire to invite invasion ], The necessity to defend territory be- came greater with the progress of so- cial development. NJ. Doumer, the president of the | deputies, on behalf of the chamber, thanked NJ. Lockroy for his patriotic declaration, but regretted the insuf- ficiency of the budget. Admitting the weakness of the navy, he strongly sec onded NJ. Lockroy, contending that the i army needed the support of a powerful navy.
 Berlin dispatches say that Germany ! is willing to accept the Russian pro- posal for the policing of Morocco-viz, that the mandate of France and Spain shall proceed from the sultan and not from the powers, provided France fur nishes a further guarantee that the police shall be controlled internation- ally reduces what are here regarded as her exaggerated demands on the Moroccan state bank question. i It is fully believed here that France 1 is ready to find the required guaran- tees and reduce her demands as to the . bank. If so, successful termination of the labors of the conference may now be said to be in sight.
