Favor.

II was natural that with the return
of the consulate and directoire styles
in dress the brass button would play
an important part.
II is already here. II Is not only
worn on coats and skirts, but 1t even
fastens up the simple blouses for wear
under coats.
Large ones are used on rough cloths
and small ones on gowns OF messaline,
also on blouses OF tricote. messaline,
chiffon cloth and silk flannel.
The American brass button, with its
symbols OF army and navy, is not used.
The fashionable one is round and
smooth. 1t looks like a bullet, and is
highly polished.
Tiny ones are also used on elaborate
indoor gowns, with quantities of gold
and silver lace. old gold embroidery,
and metal soutache, 1t is a warlike
time in dress.
Not only are brass buttons revived,
but all manner of other wonderful
ones. These are the ornaments that
played such an important part in the
empire period.
Some of the new ones are of tortoise
rhinestones at the edge. These are
put on splendid gowns for theater and
restaurant wear.
Other buttons suggest Damascus.
They are oxidized silver and beaten
brass. There are others of jade set in
rims of platinum and large turquois
matrices bedded in brilliants.
The latter buttons of semi-precious
stones are more commonplace and OBJ
vious than those of tortoise shell and
Damascene brass.
Even the large satin buttons used
to fasteh every manner Of fabric are
heavily embroidered in plain floss and
with gold and silver. Designs for
these are sold In the shops, and there
is a great deal Of this kind of work
being done at home.
These buttons are by no means mex
pensive. They make the price OF the
gown amount up to good figure, al
though 1t must be said that the ulti-
mate cost of clothes has lessened In
the last two weeks.
Whether the shopkeepers and dress
makers found out that women would
not pay exorbitant prices or whether
the entire cost of things is on a more
sensible scale than last year 1t is
hard to tell. But this is true-that the
best gowns have undergone a trans
formation in price during the last few
weeks.

Barnstable, Mass.-Probably there
Is no man who has more respect for a
whale, even il 1t did dine on ten of his
wood decoys, than William F. Hallett,
who has a camp on Sandy Neck. He
relates the following story that put
gray hairs on his head and made 10
minutes seem like four hours one
morning while coot shooting on the
back of Cape Cod.
Mr.. Hallett said he went out just be-
fore daylight in the morning and put
out about thirty decoys, all wood. He
thought he was about mile or a mile
and a half from the beach, in about
twenty feet of water. The wind was
light, with no sea. Just as the sun
came up he saw a black whale follow.

point, about the same distance from
the shore as he was. He thought
nothing about II. as the birds had com.
menced to fly and the cunning was
good. The next thing he knew the
whale came up and was blowing about
100 yards off. The great creature lay
a few minutes on the water, looking
around, first at him and then at the
bunch OF woods. Mr.. Hallett said II
was no doubt thinking which would
make the best starter for breakfast.
Mr.. Hallett said to his best judg'
ment the whale was about eighty feet
long and fifteen feet across the back.

about half way from the blow-hole to
the nose that was light gray color.
During the time the whale was siz.

was circling around the boat slowly.

The Walstcoat Warm.

The pretty little plaided silk waist
coats intended for wear beneath the
jacket are destined to help through
the cold weather any number of wom-
en- who purchased winter suits early
in the season simply because they
looked smart, forgetting that the natty
coats, slashed away in front and with
only strap to hold them together
over the chest, are scarcely suited to
a northern winter. The little waist
coats are interlined with chamois and
have satin backs that exactly match
the coat Innings. Some of them are
made with high. snug collars which
fasten in incroyable fashion about the
throat.

He's had troubles enough for one day"
But you couldn't stop that Van Brunt
critter when he got started.
He makes me load the presents In
my arms and takes the lamp and leads
the way upstairs. And then he sets to
work and hangs them presents round
Lord James room. He put the coffin
plates over the washstand at the foot
of the bed, and the wreath over the
head, and hung the picture of Marcel
lus over the looking-glass and the
shell work by the closet door.
Now" says he, ''for the motto-the
browning touch. Where? Where?"
Finally he hung it on top of the
bureau.
Perhaps" says he, 'its influence
may make James more motherly; who
knows?"
Then we went downstairs and he
made me promise to say nothing.
Then he was for waking his lordship
up and ordering him to bed right
then, but his chum wouldn't hear of It..
Martin said let the poor fellow have his
nap out. He knew how he felt. So
Van give in after awhile.
Pretty soon Hartley got tired OF
waiting and said he was going to turn
in; he was played out. he said. Van
wanted to wait longer, but he didn't.

Dainty Veil Gases

Women who do only a little fancy
needlework are making exquisite veil
cases which are both practical and or
namental. Many OF the def fingered
workers are planning several cases OF
different colors and patterns for gifts,
knowing that the woman does not ex-
list who could fail to appreciate tritie
SO dainty and useful. The cases are
twenty or twenty-four inches In length
and about ten In width. Two straight
pieces OF silk by the yard or OF very
wide ribbon form the bottom Of the
case, the two sections being cut exact
ly alike, one to go on the top and one
on the bottom, with a little cotton
wadding and some sachet powder be-
tween. The case will lie fatter and
keep its shape better if the silk is
sewed over a foundation OF blotting pa
per. This will retain the perfume
much longer than any other kind OF
filling.
The upper part of the case has two

ting paper with cotton wadding and
sachet powder. The edges are sewed
neatly over and over. then finished
with a gilt or fancy cord or with
French rose ribbon binding. Between
the bottom and the top are sides made
of wide satin ribbon shirred all around
the under section and fastened to the
upper covers. The two covers should
meet In the center, and II they are
supplied with silk cord loops and gilt
or jeweled buttons the case can be
closed and the wells kept quite neat.
The original idea has been enlarged
upon by one woman, who made a set
OF satin-covered partitions a little
smaller than the dimensions Of the
case to be slipped in between the diff
ferent colors Of wells and thus keep
them separate. Instead OF having to
go through all the wells to find the one
she wants, all she needs to do is to
look for the black, white, gray or blue
sections, and there are all her wells of
this particular color.
Dainty gold Powered brocades, ex-
quisite pompadour silks and figured
satins are the favorite materials for
these cases. They are kept on top of
the long dressing table within easy
reach. II one is greatly devoted to

other for dress wells.

 The governor was gbven an entfusi- astic reception. The speech was large ly devoted to praise of Texas and Ok iahoTna and criticisms of President Roosevelt. Judge Taft and Senator BeveridGe. He did not once call the president by namo, but repeatedly criticised him by telling what he would have done if he had been governor of New York during q certain period. incum bency, and if he had been presi- dent of the United States since sep- tember 1901.
 His principal point along this line, was with reference to the merger by Hartman of the Pacific Lines. He de. clared the republican administration was long on promises and sh ort on per- formances.
 Tt was we'll known in Texas and Oklahoma in l903" he said "and 1t is fair to assume that the President of the United States must have known 1t that the Union Pacific directors voted to Issue s100.000, 900 worth of bonds to acquire other lines and they publish ed notice calling q meeting of the stock holders to ratlfy their action and yet nothing was done to prevent the con sumation of the merger. which the president later appeared to desire to dissolve.
 Was 1t because of the approach of an election the desire that Hartman should contribute to his campaign fund and the knowledge that he would. later write the famous My Dear Hartman" letter7"
 Once during Governor Haskeli's speech. an enthusiastic Texan yelled:
 What about Hearst?"
 The Governor replied:
 There are some names which 1t would be wrong to mention where Henry w. Grady once spoke"
 Governor Haskell eulogized a num- Der of the illustrous men of Texas who have passed away and mentioned none of the present day statesmen or poIi- tlcians.

LEFT ON HER DOORSTEP
 FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A. c. Tuson. of Livermore. Cal, writes: T picked up from my doorstep one day little book in which soon became very much interested. My little girl of years of age had been troubled for long time with loss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run down and in a very delicate condition.
 This little book was very eompre. hensiveiy written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal el- ements of the cOd's liver from the oil eliminating the obnoxious oil which is so hard for children to take.
 Just the thing, said I, for my lit- tie daughter and immediately went for & bottle of Vinol. It helped her wonderfully. She has gained rapidly in flesh and strength. and she does not take cold half so easily.
 T am extremely grateful for the good 1t has done her. and ! hope other mothers who have weak, delicate or ailing children will be benefted hJ my experience and just give Vinol . trial"
 VinoI is sold in Montgomery by E. e Fowler.
