The pony coats are shown in black,
navy blue, brown and russell panama
and some of the cheviots carrying the
seasons colors Dainty shepherds
plaids in shadow checks and black and
white are made up in the same general
style, but with combination roll and
notch collars with pique facings. The
mannish mixtures, mostly gray, are in
Eton styles, with very feminine trim
ming of fancy braids and with lace
vest. collar and cuffs. The sack suits
are strapped in such a way that the
straps form a trimming sufficiently no
ticeable. Some of these are of silk,
but most are of fine and good quality
of some handsome English goods. The
jackets are always lined with soft silk,
and the skirt is plated sometimes in
kits, but generally only from the hips
down. The braid trimming that has
obtained for three seasons is even more
In evidence than ever, some Of it being
very rich and beautiful.
The silks most In vogue for the new
gowns and suits are calcium in high
luster, soft and flexible in feel, nous
selines with pretty printed borders rep
resenting dainty blossoms, heavy bro
cades, damasks, print warps, checks in
steel and tin, black and white taffeta
ia narrow stripes, jacquard weaves
and no end Of plaids, some In clan col
ors and designs. Black silk Is to be
more worn than for many years In
stead of SO much broadcloth. There Is
some fine chiffon broadcloth In various
colors. There are many novelties in
silk and wool fabrics, marquisettes,
tweed, mixed cheviots and no end to

stuffs of that kind. They are In quite
light weights, and all will make up

Office the other morning, he was talk
ing about the world turning on its
axis every twenty-four hours and the
matter being one worthy of investiga-
ton, and all day long Mrs. Bowser
was worried over what he might do
that evening to prove that the world
did or did not turn. She remembered
his buying new milk COWS, Leghorn
chickens, slabsided pigs burglar
alarms, balloons and fire escapes, and
she was prepared for the worst when
he came home at night. She half ex-
pected that his first words would tell
her that he was going to start frog
farm, but one look into his face de-
lighted her. Mr.. Bowser was calm.
He was composed. He was dignified.
1t was clear that he wasn't going to
try any gas saving invention or make
an experiment with the water pipes.
Throughout the dinner his talk was
quiet and without enthusiasm. She

FOR GENERAL WEAR.
Fabrics and Styles Are Now Well
Developed

Developed.
Although many persons think that
al social functions cease after Easter,
there will be many very swell affairs
about that time. and for just such are
the modistes making preparations now
Few of the evening gowns, even when
they are for the quite young, are of
fiimsy material such as would seem by
right to belong to youth. We now see
velvet dresses made for very young
debutantes and also silks of quite
heavy texture made with deep bands
of velvet at the foot. Messalines, sat
ins, surahs, taffetas and such weaves
silks, yet we see some of the sheerer
qualities frequently. Some Of the
evening silks have soft finish that
makes them as flexible as Grape, and.
while they are really substantial, the
effect Is that of very thin silk. This
special quality is generally extra lus-
trous, so that In some colors it seems
real thin silks made expressly for
the purpose of being made up over silk
of some sharply contrasting color to
obtain new effects by the two colors
combining as the wearer moves. Blue
and red, pink and blue and blue and
yellow are the most effective, though
many other colors are employed in the
carrying out of this plan.
The illustration shows gown for a
young lady in this same general plan.
The underdress Is bright crocus yell
low, with a pink silk overdress of the
thin and transparent quality mention
ed above. This bestows a delicate
warmth of color impossible to describe,
but very beautiful. All around the
skirt, sleeves and yoke is system of
yellow chenille balls set along the seal
loped edge. Above Is line of half
wreaths of pink roses made of chiffon,
with the stems and foliage in the same
tint. A band of pink ribbon Is laid
over the shoulders and finished by
roses, while there Is sort of guimpe
arrangement of the yellow silk cover
ed with silk null of the same shade
and sleeves of the same beneath the
double ruflled ones of the embroidered
silk. A folded belt of the ribbon Is
draped around the waist
One might call this representative
gown, for many variations can be
made Of it by substituting different ma
terials or colors. The chenille en-
broidery on thin stuffs Is very fetching
and will be seen on many things, nota-
bly, laces for trimmings. And the
dainty little flowers of chiffon or crepe
lsse are to be found in great numbers
on the most elaborate evening gowns
and even sometimes on opera cloaks.
They are also frequently made Of silk
ribbon or velvet ribbon for ornament
ing hats.
For outdoor wear there are many
pony suits, some handsome tailor made

minutes there was ring at the front

was a tramp who had called to ask
for money.
Unusual Calm.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred
Mr.. Bowser would have blasted that
tramps eyes for coming to the front
door. Then he would have yelled at
him. Then he would have rushed him
down the steps and out of the yard.
Mrs. Bowser waited In vain for sounds
of conflict In a quiet and dignified
way Mr.. Bowser Informed the caller
that there was a charities lodging
house two blocks away and advised
him to walk down there. He was not
even red in the face when he returned
to his chair. Only five minutes later
the woman next door began singing
and playing the piano. The singing
was harsh and the playing harsher.
Only a week before when the nuisance
had struck up Mr.. Bowser had walked
up and down the room making all sorts
of threats He had even asked where
the crowbar was and vowed he would
go in and smash that piano to splinters.
Mrs. Bowser expected another scene,
but none came Mr.. Bowser continued
to be serene. He didn't even try to re-
member whether the old ak was down
cellar or out in the shed. The cook In
the kitchen said that murder must
surely follow such sounds, but she lis
tened and listened and heard no stir.
When the woman next door had tired
herself out, Mrs. Bowser observed:
at seems to me that such things
should be forbidden by law"
"But If she calls it playing and sing
ing we must put up with It," replied
Mr.. Bowser with a smile.
Then the front bell rang again. He
went to the door to find three men, and
one of them explained that they were a
committee from the Ninth ward to
offer Mr.. Bowser the nomination for
the aldermanship. Previous commit
tees when this sort of job had been
put up had been invited into the IL
brary and rendered wine and cigars,
but this one did not get beyond the
front hall The callers were quietly
but firmly informed by Mr.. Bowser that
he had no further aspirations for po-
litical honors and must decline their
offer. They hinted that they would
like to talk things over while drinking
q bottle of claret, but he excused him.
self on the ground of business and
worked them out.
"Why didn't you accept the nomina-
tion?" asked Mrs. Bowser when he re-
| turned.
II prefer a quiet life and my own
home" he replied.
Not a month Lsfore he had express
ed his desire to run for mayor and had
said that his hcme was the worst run

had observed that a committee was
seeking to work" him, he had walked

The grocer offered to send two. boys

Of mocha. he offered to go himself, he
offered to add a jar of jam to make up
for his neglect, but Mr.. Bowser quietly
smiled and took the package under his
arm.
"Dld you rip him up the back, as you
call it?" asked Mrs. Bowser as she
saw the coffee.
Brown is very busy man these
days." was the reply.
"But are you going to trade there any

"Why, of course. There isn't gro.

"Didn't he order you out of the

"For what reason? The druggist and
1 are very good friends indeed"
For the next hour Mrs. Bowser sat In
a puzzle-not a kick or complaint or
shout or yell. When bedtime came, all
was still serene. Mr.. Bowser fell
asleep like a young child, and she still
wondered and puzzled and peered at
him and said to herself:

Says He'll Consult Wife.
A week before. unknown to his
wife Mr.. Bowser had looked at Sec
ondhand auto that was for sale and
encouraged the owner to think he
would become the purchaser. The man
had got tired of waiting and had come
around on this particular evening to
see whether the sale was off or on.
He rang the bell in an aggressive way.
and when it was answered he said.
well, Bowser, about that auto-do
you want it or not?"
II haven't consulted my wife YETI
Mrs. Bowser overheard the words.
and, as he had never consulted her In
his life about the buying or selling of
anything, she at once developed pal
pitation of the heart.
whats your wife got to do with
itY' demanded the man.
"A good deal, sir. l shouldn't think
of buying such thing unless she was
satisfied l think, to cut the matter
short and not bother you further, that
l will wait another year before invest
ing"
The man muttered Hump. and
departed without good night, but Mr..
Bowser was still serene when he re-
turned to his chair. A few minutes
later Mrs. Bowser remembered that
she wanted something from the drug
store and that the coffee was out He
volunteered to do both errands. On
other occasions he had spent half an
hour to read her lesson on shiftless-
ness, but he left the house this time
without a word. AS general thing,
on entering the store of his family
druggist he has remarks to make about
the drug trust, the adulteration OF
medicines. the highway robbery of
prices and the number of people poi
soned every year by leather headed re-
tail druggists. In return and to get
even the druggist has something to say
about cranks and husbands whose
wives know more than they do and
folks meddling with other folks busi-
ness.
Surprises Druggist.
On this occasion, however. Mr.. Bow
ser quietly entered the store. made
remark on the weather and asked for
what he wanted and got out, The
druggist was loaded for bear but he
didn't have to shoot. He simply turn
ed to customer after Mr.. Bowser had
djsaDpeared and said:
THAT change In a man always comes
about month before his death. I shall
be sorry to see that man laid away"
Mr. Bowser was told before he left
the house that the order for the coffee
had been given at noon and neglected.
He had taken his trade away from
three different grocers for a like neg
lect, and he had threatened this one.
When the grocer saw him come in, he
turned as pale as death and got ready

THE WEARING OF THE eREgNT
Good Joke on Official Who Had Pro-
hiblted the Song.

The Wearing of the Green which
Dion Boucicault used to sing in one
OF his Irish dramas at the old Adelnbj
theater, was sung for the first time
IN the house of commons last week nm
the occasion of the dinner given To
the colonial premiers by the Irish ma.
tionalist party, says the Pail Mall Ga.
zette. It reminds one of the Joke
practiced by the late Sir William
Wilde Gather of Oscar Wilde) on the
then attorney general for Ireland. who
had prohibited Boucicault from sing
ing this same song when performing
IN Dublin with his company. 1t must
be remembered that there is no Ii.
censor of plays in Ireland, but the
Castle has often put its foot down
in the case of songs with a seditious
reputation. Shortly afterward Sir
William invited Boucieault to dinner
to meet "a friend" The dramatist
came, and sang the terrible tune to
the friend, who that morning had of.
ficially prohibited it at the old The.
alter Royal, being none other than the
attorney general himself.
