Music to Attract BUYERS,

There Is an auctioneer down Louis.
lana avenue, in Washington, who
has an eye to business, and who
as a consequence can sell pianos
of almost any vintage as fast as
the village cook can sell hot
cakes TO a circus crowd. The auc.
tioneer can sing and he has a clerk
who can play the piano. The other
day he received to be sold to the
highest bidder a square piano of rather
ancient construction and design, and
placed 1t on exhibition on the sidewalk
in front of his place OF business.
When auction day rolled around and
the curious crowd had assembled. the
auctioneer summoned his clerk to play
an accompaniment for him, and mount.
ing chair himself. he launched forth
and sang with splendid effect "Tbs
Old Log Cabin in the Lane" and other
airs equally as ancient as the piano
forte. The crowd enjoyed the open.
air concert and heartily applauded the
auctioneer, and after he had described
the virtues Of the instrument the bid.
ding was lively and the piano went of
to a colored man at a pretty high
figure.
Music hath charms which Will,
make even obsolete articles sell /"
remarked q bystander who mad en-.
joyed the singing.

DAINTY DESIGNS IN COLLARS.
Almost Any Material and Shape Has
Popular Approval.

The linen collars and tabe are just
as fiat as pressing can make them. In
the first place the linen collar Is plain
and shaped. There is style which
hearkens back to the collar which was
rounded at the back, the sides and
followed slightly under the chin. This
Is now the prevailing style. 1t may be
fitted with a jabot of the same, though
the fanlike arrangement Is pressed
very fiat and has a decided tailor
effect. This does not mean that frills
are not used, for undoubtedly they
are, and in great numbers. Some OF
the prettiest fluffy collars of the sea-
SON are dainty affairs of ethereal ma
terial, banded with pale ruching. A
pale tan silk ruching attached to ecru
lace is very handsome. 1t must be
fashioned to open in the back, for tie
tie In front must be arranged neatly
and sewed into place for all time.
Other linen collars are made with
small mercerized cotton dots worked
over the surface. When ironed with
a gloss they are very pretty to wear
with white or colored waists. One
collar made with white dots had each
miniature dot outlined with a narrow
black ring. The small black BOW at
the front gave dainty touch.

all of the bouses of sheer material

who cannot afford this expense will
find at the lining counter many cotton
goods with silk luster to them that
really answer every purpose.
A good quality of silk null will make
suitable lining for a chiffon waist.
but care must be taken to secure

In selecting material for your gowns
be sure that 1t is soft and pliable.

There is no use for them in the gowns

Do not get silk for an odd skirt, and
in the second place, have all OF your
skirts plated Never mind II 1t does

at any cost. Taffeta silk skirts are
only suited for spring and summer
wear.
If you want an odd skirt now. get q
black broadcloth in what is known as
chiffon weight. A good quality OF
black broadcloth, with a stain finish,
makes a charming skirt for your old
blouses and is very reasonable. Tai.
fetas and rajahs are not for cold
weather.

ARE ARMED WITH FLIN1LOCKS.
Putnam Phaianx Has Muskets Used
by Continental Soldiers.

One OF the most interesting fea.
lures OF that most noted military or.
ganiZation, the Putnam Phalanx Of
Hartford, Conn, which visited Wash.
ington recently, was related by Col. M.
A. Winter, commander of the Min
ute Men of Washington. 1t was
that the members are all armed
with original flintlock muskets that
we're used by the continental sol.
diers in the wars with Great Brit
ain. These venerable guns had been
stored in one of the arsenals since
the days of Washington, Putnam and
other continental commanders, when
Senator Hawley of Connecticut, him
self member of the Phalanx, discoy-
cred their whereabouts and at once
set about to procure them for the
Hartford soldiers. This he finally &C
compli3hed and earned the thanks Of
the Phalanxers. The senator was at
that time chairman of the military
committee Of the senate Another in
teresting feature of the Phalanx is
that amo1g its active members are
several HIeal descendants of the gal.
liant old Gen. Israel Putnam, in whose
honor the organization is named. The
present governor Of Connecticut and
many other notable men Of the Wood
en- Nutmeg state are on the rolls Of
the Phalanx. Its uniform is an exact
reproduction of the buff and blue
suits worn by the sturdy continentals
when they fought for the freedom Of
the states from the yoke of the moth
er country.
