The favors for the fourth figure
were the most unique of all. Two
young girls CARRIED as peasants were
the bearers of these, the girls receiv-
ing bird cages, each holding a live
canary, and danced the figure with the
pretty captives hung by colored rib
bons to their wrists. The men re-
ceived long wands, ribbon bedecked
which they carried over their should
ers.
The sensation of the evening, how
ever, was the final figure. A huge pink
rose was wheeled into the ball r:nm.
and upon opening. disclosed another OF
the dancers as a charming butterfly,
who distributed tissue tulips some
three feet high, in the center of which
were electric lights. The lights in
the ball room were darkened when
this figure was danced, and nothing
more beautiful could be ina gined than
the effect of the graceful f1ower-bear-
ers with their electric lighted posies.

Municipal Freaks.

The longest block in any American
city is in Watertown, N. Y. This mum
icipal freak is row of business houses
nearly five squares long. 1t contains
the offices and stores of las different
firms, forty-five tenants and hotel
with eight-five rooms. The total val
uation of the property in this block is
almost 100000.
The longest street in the United
States and in the world is Western
avenue, Chicago, which is exactly
twenty-five miles long. Its nearest
rivaI is Halstead street, also in Chi
cagO, which is two-thirds of mile
shorter. Halstead street is so much
more closely built up that 1t is usu-
ally spoken of as the longest street
in the world BY traversing its length
one may see all the indications of the
varying phases of American life, from
the hove.s of outcast to the palaces
of pork packing millionaires.
Interspersed with the native Amer
leans on this one street are six dis
tinct colonies where the people speak
other languages than English-namely,
Germans, Italians. Russian Jews, Be-
henians, Poles and Greeks. Halstead
street is crossed over and under by
twenty railroads. 1t is estimated to
be the chief business center and
lounging place for $4,000 people, more
than there are in Arizona, Idaho, Ne
vada or Wyoming.

the wide tucks by placing the solid
color together wherever the material
needs to be gathered in, as about the
waist and hips. Sometimes the stripes
are in two or more tones of the same
shade, and again the white stripes
against any color desired is seen. The
so-called "Alice Blue" is to be one of
the foremost spring tones, and maure
and a pastel green will also be con-
spicuously numerous. Brown and
gray are not apt to be effective in a
plain silk gown, but in the more del
icate tones will be popular in light
weight cloth and yelling costumes.
A satin finish, or at least a certain
amount of sheen, is noticeable on near
ly every kind of spring material, even
on the dress lining and under petit
coats. Satin finished material is al
ways more effective than a dull silk,
and for this season also requires less
trimming-often a decided advantage.
This year things have been rather re-
served, for there are many reception
and house gowns of lace chiffon, net
and taffeta silks, but for the even
ing even the debutantes prefer satIns
and satin silks.
Many of the newest models show
some pastel tints, others match the
color Of the suit, still others are In
a deep cream tone or the popular oy-
ster white. For morning wear stripes
in two colors or small checks are ex-
tremely novel and stylish. Laces in
allover patterns, insertions and edg-
ings will be much used as trimmings,
with a leaning toward the valenci-
mes, so universally seen for several
seasons past. Frills and jabots of
batiste and mulls will be much worn.
They give fascinating feminine
touch to these new waists. The plain
er and more severe styles are reserved
almost exclusively for the distinctly
morning blouses of heavy cotton fab
RIGS.
For high teas and smart afternoon
functions the latest fashions show a
number of dainty costumes in the
new crossed barred voiles. The silk
texture of the voile requires silk
foundation, of course, and this usually
in the prevailing tone of the outer
materials, but perhaps shade light
er. A very pretty shade of ciel blue
is used for this costume, the skirt
having a plated panel of shimmering
blue satin. The sides are also faced
with satin folds which turn back from
the front near the bottom with trim
ming of dull green velvet buttons.
Wells are more important than ever
in the calculation of the fashionable,
and the swathing, floating folds of
chiffon, net, etc., are tremendously be-
coming if artistically adjusted. The
lace veil is already winter favorite,
and the Tosca nets with decorative
borders are also popular. White net
dotted in black and embroidered in a
vine trailing floral design above the
hem of white chiffon is one of the new
things

Rooseyelt's Discipline.

When Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long
worth was little girl she uttered
complaint thta must surely find an
ecvho in the heart of every wilful law
breaker whose case has fallen into the
hands of President Roosevelt. Her
teacher at school had been inquiring
for Mrs. Roosevelt, who was ill, and
Alice answered plaintively: "She isn't
much better yet. Yes, it's pretty hard.
Papa stays at home most all the time,
you see, and that makes it dreadfully
inconvenient." "Why, how is that, AL
ice?' ooh, don't you see? He doesn't
understand like mamma. When mann
ma tells me to be home at 4 o'clock
and l get there at half-past, she un-
derstands. but when papa says and
l get there at even quarter-past-
he doesn't understand at ALT"

NOVEL COTIILIONS.
Given by People Of Social Prominence
Real Rain Descends on Dancers
Butterfly Distributes Tulins.

There Is always so much similarity
in entertaining that any departure is
cordially welcomed, and it is also very
interesting to read descriptions of
some of the magnificent entertain
ments given by people of wealth ana
social prominence.
Fairyland.
A Chicago cotillion lately was a
striking example of originality. The
ball room was decorated in Italian
style, with thousands of electric lights
and poinsettia blossoms and the feat
ure OF nearly every dance was dis
play of a myriad of tiny electric
lights. The first figure, which was
called "Fairyland," was particularly
brilliant in its electrical effects. In
the next figure the room was darken-
ed and electric umbrellas were used.
In the Rain" figure there was thunder
and lightning, and real rain descended
upon macllintcshed dancers. There
was Railroad" figure, in which tine
women bought tickets with which to
find their partners in a real station.
Three Little Pickaninnies.
There was also weber and Field"
figure, with three little pickaninnies
dressed as bride. groom and Cupid,
who came in to the strains OF "Lohen-
grim" and as the Mendelsschn re-
cessional died away danced "breall-
down" to the accompaniment of a
Weber and Field medley. In addition
there was Russian Driving" figure
in the dark with yokes ablaze with
electric flowers; a Swing" figure, III
which swings were let down from the
ceiling and Mistress Mary" figure,
in which the women were concealed
behind flowers in garden where the
flowers turned out to be flower hats
for the women. Besides the flower
hats there were flower, fans as favors.
English primroses in baskets trimmed
with big bows, real live tortoise shell
kittens and English bull terrier pups,
FavOrs for the men were English
officers hats, walking sticks, nonocles
and orders of the Golden Fleece, Iron
Cross and other glittering trinkets.
Cherries and Live Canarics.
At beautiful ball lately in San
Francisco five favor figures were
danced in the cotillion, the descrip-
ton of which is interesting. In the
first, the cherry figure. young lady

the men.
The figure, marching one. was

Curiosities of Words.

There are but two words in tine
whole of the English language con-
tanning all of the vowels in their re-

efficacious, instantaneous, importun-
ate, mendacious, nefarious. precarious,
pertinacious, sacrilegious, simultan-
eous, tenacious, unintentIonaI, I'M
Objectionable, unequivocal, undiscover-
able and vexatious. A search through
the dictionary might bring several
others to light. 1t is usually said that
there are but seven nine-lettered
monosyllable words in the. English
language, viz: scratched, stretched,

Of Interest to Women

New York, Feb. 16.-What are term
ed as Easter models in cloaks. canes
and suits are being shown in the
New York wholesale cloak and suit
establishments. The late offerings
represent styles which designers have
gotten up since the first of the year
to act as leaders in the department
stores. Mnay Of them are in high
colors and the pastelle shades in
broadcloth suits and costumes are
again favorites. 1t appears that the
princess and empire styles for general
use are passing and that of the Dr.
rectoire style of gown Is coming into
the lead. For suits, the Elton jacket
and the pony jacket styles in all COL
ors and fancies are moving satisfact-
orily. Manufacturers are charging up
large orders and in their cutting
rooms the spring orders are being
put through with remarkable prompt
ness. In misses lines the delivery for
spring to date has been unusually
prompt and for this reason the strong
recorders coming to hand can be han
died.
The new color cards put gray at the
foot of the list and give the place of
honor to all the mustard" shades.
Fellows, with brown tones, and browns
with yellow in their makeup, are in
the lead, while green in reseda, gos-
lin and other vivid tints are also in
dol
the linen checks are in many smart
combinations of color. A ground of
yellowish beaver color has stripes
of brown and royal blue in narrow line
effects, and the same colorings are
shown with the lines making over
plaids of various sized checks. Mus
tard with similar lines of brown and
green or black and olive is another
variation.
Already the new silks and veilings
are being shown, and the majority of
these are so attractive in both pattern
and coloring that there is every reason
to expect a season noted for It's cos
tunes. Foulard, from all present con-
uACAOuo, Will NC tAIfeIuely smart This
year, although it has been rather out
of favor for some time. So many of
the newest models call for material
that is rather soft and clinging and
easily draped that stiff silks will be
in nearly as great demand as was the
case of last year. Foulard is only
appropriate for rather severe style
of dress-that is, one rarely uses
foulard in reception or luncheon
costume. For a rough and ready shirt
waist dress this goods is excellent, as
even the less expensive quality wears
admirably and the silk is generally
delightfully."- light and cool.
The polka dot of last spring and
summer have given way to stripes of
all widths and colors. There is the
one-inch stripe and the narrowest
thread like band of colors, and some
of the foulards have stripes of grad
uated widths arranged in clusters or
verging gradually from wide to mar
row. Good effects can be obtained in
