An Indian Lawyers Dilemma.

they HE themselves to the lodge OF
this tribeswoman. who has learned to
read the talking leaves at Hampton
Va, and other institutions designed t.:
initiate poor Lo into the wiles and wis
dom of the palefaces. Now, Miss St,
Cyr has evidently made a practica
study of juries. for at the crucial poin,
in her trial she shed few gentle fem
mime tears. The tears 'fxed' the jury
all right. for she was acquitted. bu;
every Indian in the courtroom. dis
pleased by this exhibition of weakness
clapped on his hat and stalked indi.
nantly out. Now it looks as though
Miss st. Cyr in winning her case may
lose her clients. for it is hard to make
the Indians understand that tears ju
diciously applied are part Of the pale

STANDARD MODES.
Fabrics and Coors Seen In the New
Winter Gowns.

winter Gowns.
Looking backward to the styles OF
other days, it is surprising to see how
nearly we follow them-above all, the
enormous creations when ships under
full sail and regular flower gardens
were among the modes for hats. To
day, while the hats are not quite as
daring in the way of trimming. they
are enough so to make us sit UP and
take notice" In Paris the women do
not take off their hats in the theater,
and | will leave it to the imagination
as to how much Of Il play could be
seen by those who sit in the orchestra
seats. Such an array of plumes and
such a variety never saw before
chicken feathers dyed and made up
into all sorts of shaped plumes, turkey
feathers shamelessly natural in some
instances and dyed in others, wings,
birds of prehistoric varieties, aigretS,
heron pluples, marabou and, indeed. so
many that cannot remember them all
in one day.
The willow form is rather the best
either made or natural, which droop
down in very melancholy fashion.
We may say now, speaking of MILL
merry, the plume's the thing-purple in
seventeen shades, green of the emerald
hue and other vivid shades of all COL
ors. 1t is astonishing what foolish
things women will wear if they hap
pen to be the fashion. A few years
ago the colors, raw and uncOmprOmiS-
ing, that are now shown would have
created mild riot, but now it is to see
who can find the most striking. Still
it must be admitted that women never
have looked prettier than now. for
they have come to know their own
failings and good points better than
they ever did before, and so, although
they dress in the vivid coIors now ii
fashion, they manage to look quite as
well as ever
But in spite of the brilliancy OF most
of the things now in vogue there are
many very beautiful and yet more del
icate colors or at least shades of the
colors offered. Among them l see on
