This is wise fashion, for there is no color that makes more charming frame for the mature or even slightly passe woman than white, when the shade IS properly chosen, for shades in white should be as carefully con. sidered when choice is made as shades in other colors.

The charms of the tailor-made gown are very apparent this season; 1t seems to have reached an unwonted height of perfection in color. in mate rial, in combinations of braid and rich furs, in fact everything which goes to make up most harmonious whole. A great many of the newest tailor-made models show very fasci- hating little boleros which are half capes! These garments invariably have the sleeves cut in the same piece as the coatee, thus avoiding shoulder seam. I do not pretend to understand how this is managed, but the effect Is excellent, and it represents one of the novelties of the season. Famous au- thorities assert that We are slowly but surely drifting towards crinoiines and is s"leg Q mutton sleeves" l do no think we shall quickly see crino,.aes in possession of the feminine afYec. tions but we already have with us something extremely like the leg Q mutton sleeve"
 Marked flatness on the shoulder and considerable width above the elbow! At this particular moment sleeves of this order are very quaint and artistic, but I should not like to speak with great certainty about the attractive ness of the sleeves of next spring. Fashions must change; 1t does not seem possible to leave we'll alone and we cannot dare to expect that the sleeves of next summer will riv6f those of the season which has just faded away.
 In our illustration we show two or. iginal designss in tailor-made gowns. The one on the right is of silver grey cloth, trimmed with embroidery. The other costume is made of bottle green cloth trimmed with velvet and cords to

 And yet, whatever little part of the soul of him remained that night still andulled, not numbed, but alive, was in some strange manner lifted out of its pain toward strange delight. His body was an automaton, his mind in bondage, yet there was still small consciousness in him which knew that in his wandering something incredible and unexpected was happening. What this was he did not know. could not

United States and Mexico vainly En-
 deavored to Prevent . Rupture
 by Calling on Republics to
 Arhitrate.
 MANAQUA, Nicaragua. Feb. 20. - The troops of General Bonilla, presi- dent of Honduras, at o'clock on Mon- day afternoon attacked the forces of General Zelaya, president of Nicara- qua, which were guarding the Nicara-. guan frontier. After many hours fighting the army of Honduras was defeated.
 The trouble between Honduras and Nicaragua arose when q number of Honduran indictments organized them- selves into rebel band in the interior of Honduras and after obtaining arms marched toward the frontier of Nj caragua. The government of Hon. duras, when informed of the move ment, sent body of troops in pursuit of the revolutioniss. When the latter became aware that the troops of Hon. duras were moving in their direction they crossed the frontier and sought refuge in Nicaraguan territory, some of them even reaching this city, the capital of Nicaragua
 The government of the latter repub- lie then sent small body of Nicara- guan troops to patrol the Honduran frontier with the object of preventing any further incursions of revolution fists. This body of troops was unex- pectedly attacked in Nicaraguan terri tory by force of Hondurap soldiers. The Nicaraguans were worsted, many of the latter were killed and 1t was al- legged that the Hondurans shot some of the Nicaraguan soldiers who surren- 0ered.
 The forces of Honduras then advanc- ed further into Nicaraguan territory, burned and destroyed property and committed robberies. President Zelaya of Nicaragua protested energetically against the conduct of the Honduran troops and demanded an indemnity from Honduras. President BoniIla of Honduras replied by offering to sub init the matter to arbitration. This proposal was accepted by Zelaya, who sent a representative to Salvador, where q court of arbitration met to hear both sides of the case and agreed at the outset that the armies of Hon. duras and Nicaragua on the frontiers of those two republics should be dis banded.
 But they did not accept the finding of the court, and diplomatic relations between Nicaragua and Honduras were broken oil.
 In the meantime the governments of the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Salvador brought pres sure to bear upon Honduras and Nica- ragua in the hope of keeping them from going to war. and 1t was at first considered likely that the efforts of the peacemakers would prove success ful.

Nervous Folks and Diet,

AS rule, salt meat is not adapted to
the requirements of nervous people, as
nutritious juices go into the brine to
a great extent. Fish of all kinds is
good for them. Raw eggs, contrary to
the common opinion, are not as digesti-
BILE as those that have been well cooked.
Good bread, sweet butter and lean
meat are the best food for the nerves.
People troubled with insomnia and
nervous starting from sleep and sensa-
tons of falling can often be cured by
limiting themselves to a diet of milk
alone for time. An adult should take
a pint at meal and take four meals
a day. People with weakened nerves
require frequently larger quantity of
water than those whose nerves and
brains are strong. 1t aids the digestion
of these by making it soluble and
seems to have direct tonic effect.

Jack Horner of the Christmas pie

ceedingly doubtful He was. however,
Il fortunate rogue.
When Henry VIII. suppressed the
monasteries and drove tie monks from
their nests the title deeds OF the Abbey
of Mells Were demanded by the com
missioucrs. The abbot Of Glastonbury
determined that he would send them
to LouCoa. and as the documents were
very valuable and the road infested
with thieves It was 6iE.cult to get
them h the metropolis safely
To accomplish tbs end lie devised a
very Ingenious plan. lie ordered a
savory pie to be made. and inside he
put the documents. the finest filling a
pie ever had. and intrusted this dainty
to lad named Homer to carry up TO
London to deliver safely into the hands
for whom it was intended.
But the journey was long and the
day cold, and the boy was hungry, and
the pie was tempting, and the chance of
detection was small.
So the boy broke off piece of the
pie and beheld a parchment within. he
pulled it forth, innocent enough. won
dering how it could have found its way
there tied up. in pastry, and arrived in
town.
The parcel was delivered, but the
title deeds of Mells abbey were miss
ing.
The fact was that Jack had them il
his pocket These were the juiciest
plums in the pie. Great was the rage
of the commissioners and heavy the
vengeance they dealt out to the monks
But Master Jack Horner kept bis
secret, and when peaceable times were
restored he claimed the estates and re
ceived them.
