Buttons play part in the trimming Of
two walking skirts out Of every three, and

10 this arrangement on the short skirt was
thatin order TO run the fold up to an effective
height on the sides and secure a sufficiently
acute angle in front and back the trimmings

the skirt length unbecomngly To obviate
this the designer is now inclning toward
the adjustment indicated in one Of the

a plain front breadth and thus leaving the
front skirt length unbroken.

The death Of an old German barytone
singer named Julius Muller revives the
story Of the picture Of Queen Louise Of
Prussia, which ls almost AZ well known in
American households ss IL is In Germany
IL Is the picture in which the beautiful
and unfortunate Queen is represented in a
long white Empire gown with iewelled
crescent above her forehead and her hand
resting across her breast as she comes
down a flight Of stairs.
Many people have supposed that the
picture, which is now in the Museum AZ
Cologne, is portrait Of the patriotic Queen,
but as a matter Of fact II was painted IN
1879, whereas Queen Louise died in 1910
and the model for II was Julius Mullers

Richter, and when he conceived the idea Of
painting 1t he searched far and wide for

Referring to the steamship service of

THE establishment Of our Atlantic
steamship line has demonstrated the
fact that no route between Europe
and America, between Great Britain
and this continent, at any rate. can
in any way compare or compete with
the Canadian Pacific Railroads steam
ship line. With the Empress of Bit
ain, which arrived this afternoon ut
Quebec at 3:45 o'clock, and whose
passengers will reach Chicago tomor-
row night at 10 o'clock we have
beaten the record of any steamer
which has ever yet sailed from Liver
pool to New York.
~ mention this most interesting
fact because the Empress of Britain
and Empress of ireland will probably
