Some say that the 1draped skirts are
intended to counterfeit the influence of
founced effects, which some designers
feel have enjoyed fashionable favor
long enough. 1t cannot be denied that
they are adapted to a greater variety
of becoming arrangements than
f1ounces, which at their scantiest are
looked upon with distrust by women no
longer slender, though gracefully digni-
fed.
Some of the smartest draped effects
are raised at the front, appearing as
if the panel has simply been terminated
at the knees and left unstitched to fall
over a deep hem or fold of a decOra-
tive fabric or bit of lace. Again the
drapeTy appears at the side and still
again one sees it falling in point at
the front, perilously close in its re-
semblance to the old-fashioned over
skirt.
Those who are perferce compelled to
consider the practicability of q mode
before anything else will find the
stitched draperies both smart and eff
fective. They form self trimmings, or
may be of velvet; MORE or even simply
a simulated drapery achieved with
braid in a slightly darker shade than
the material of the gown. Skirts of
cloth falling over petticoats Of taffeta
finished with deep folds Of MORE or
panne are used to embody some very
clover ideas by the leading dresslnak-
ers of Paris, and if the coat is of dark
color, as many of the latest tailored
models are, the facing of the mounting
corresponds with the shade of the coat

FRESH INSPIRATION.

Napoleon understood human nature.
He recognized the great truth, ''As a
man thinketh in his heart so is he"
and knew how to apply it, not only to
himself and his own ambitious projects,
but to other men as well. Moreover,
he knew precisely the right moment to
apply it to quicken the spark Of divine
energy which smolders in every man,
although the ashes Of fatigue and fail
ure may cover it's light temporarily.
A French soldier carried a dispatch
to Napoleon. Just as he delivered it
horse dropped dead. Napoleon wrote
an answer to the dispatch, then, dis
mounting from his own horse, he
handed the bride to the soldier.
"Take this horse and ride back, COM
rade," he said
NAY, SIRE" stammered the soldier,
gazing at the blooded horse and it's
trappings. 1T is too magnificent and
grand for me, a common soldier"
"Take tip commanded Napoleon.
4ASAO 10 hOIullS wv SAbAN uhA uIdS
nificent for a soldier of France"
The soldier mounted and rode away
on his perilous business, ready and
willing, and Napoleon's words, repeated
through the ranks and columns of his
army, gave to his tired troops fresh
inspiration and energy. Nothing too
grand and magnificent for soldier Of
France!" they said, and the thought
that they were worthy of the best in
spired them to the mighty deeds which
followed.

RULES OR ROYALTY.
Curfostties of Etiquette Mt Various
Courts of Europe.

Curiostties of Etiquette nt Variou.
Courts of Europe.
A curious curtailment of the royal
prerogative is effected by an act Of
parliament passed in the reign of
George III, which deals with Sabbath
breaking, says Tit-Slts. In this act it
is distinctly stated that the monarch
shall not have the power to pardon any
persons convicted of a certain form Of
Sabbath breaking. Yet his majesty
can, of course, pardon ninety-nine out
of every hundred prisoners in the land
A number Of years ago it was per-
fectly permissible, and, in fact, a mat
ter of strict etiquette, for a visitor who
should obtain an audience with the sui
tan Of Turkey to bow and kiss the hand
of that oriental potentate. Anarchists,
however, took advantage of the privil-
eye, and on one memorable occasion a
treacherous emissary drove a dagger
into the heart of his sovereign, and
from that time forth the privilege has
been disallowed.
When the youthful king of Spain was
twelve years of age, he one day had
the misfortune to slip and fall down a
fight of the palace steps. The fall
would very probably have been at
tended with fatal results, had 1t not
been for a servant who extended a
kindly hand and saved his young mas
ter by breaking the fall But, by
stringent rule of Spanish etiquette, no
servant may dare touch the sacred per-
son of the king, and for this very
grave" offense the servant was at once
dismissed from his position.
BY a remarkable law Of royal ell
quette, which has existed for a num-
Der Of years past at the court Of Siam,
no person it permitted to sleep in an
apartment situated above that occu-
pied by the king. A deliberate breach
of this rule has on more than one oc-
caSiOn been punished by death. Re
Gently, when the king of Siam paid q
visit to Paris, a number of bedrooms
were reserved, directly above that in
which the king was to have slept, for
the dusky followers Of the royal visit
or. The blunder caused great couster-
nation among the fearful courtiers, un-
til the matter was explained to the
management and duly rectified.
1t is a Evolutionary etiquette custom
in the Marlborough family for each
duke to present Blenheim spaniel to
the duchess when she enters Blenheim
palace for the first time as it's mistress.
The story from which this custom has
It's origin Is that during the battle of
Blenheim a spaniel followed at the
heels of the great duke throughout the
day, never leaving him until victory
was assured.
When the emperor and empress Of
China appear in public. no other person

sung as she tied Margaret Constance's
cap-stringS and started down the sandy

But this drive was only the begin

man might have been thought to have
adopted julie and Margaret Constance,
so inseparable did the three become.
There were walks and more drives,
and sails on the lake, and picnics un-
der the orange trees, and parties on the
front porch.

tleman, one afternoon, "you are not

The Sick Gentleman grew quite white
and caught Jules little gingham sleeve

"Jule Devereaux Piquet Maynard" he
said, but his tongue gave it a twist
that hers did not, don't you know
that is my name, too?"

"Yours is Piquet. At first 1 couldn't

the curly lock off her forehead and

But julie could not realize It. even
after it was proved to her again and

brother in anger, and have married

AN OLD LETTER.
Local Citizen Has Interesting Missive
Written Forty-six Years Ago.

Geo. d. Smith, of this city, has in
his possession letter written from
the Dalles, Oregon, by H. A.
Benjamin to c. c. Highly, of
Florence, on September 4th, 1862.
AT that time there was no Idaho,
neither territory or state, and the
letter was addressed to FLORENCE,
Washington Territory. Two years
ago, while at Boise, Mr.. Smith met
and visited with Mr.. Highly, the re-
cipient of the letter.
The miSsive was written in reply
to request by Mr.. Highly that some
merchandise be shipped to him at
Florence. Mr.. Benjamin wrote
that owing TO the uncertainties OF
transportation from The Dalles to
Florence, over which route steamers,
freight wagons and pack mules were
used, the goods would not be for
warded until a month or six weeks
later when he would accompany the
shipment in person to insure IFS safe
arrival at Florence. The letter stated
that some highly hattering reports
from the John Day mining district
had reached The Dalles and speci-
mems of quartz from that district were
on exhibition there. People at
The Dalles, according to the letter,
at that time expected the John Day
district to develop into richer sec
ton than any California district.
Enclosed in the letter was the follow
ing trade report from an Oregon
