lines as those illustrated. 1t is gen.
orally classic in effect and it Grapes
the figure with real grace, while it is
adapted to every material that will

ranged over a closely fitted skirt that
is finished with a circular fiounce at

The skirt consists of the tunic, the
circular flounce and the five cores Of

figure snugly and the circular flounce
is joined tc their lower edge. The
tunic Is on n piece and is fitted by
means of darts at the hips, while it
is arranged over the skirt and the two
are joined to the belt. If walking
length is desired, both skirt and tunic
can be cut off on indicating lines.

The King Laughed.

A curious court story went the
rounds some little time ago about a
lovely foreigner, one of whose verbal
slips gave King Edward occasion for
O hearty laugh. A very lively person
age with a delightful accent, she
made such a favorable impression up
on the King that he asked her to be
his partner at bridge. But, SIR
she said, IT really don't know how
to play" The King would take no
denial, however, and she became
rather embarrassed. IT assure you,
sir" she said, II could not think of
playing. I don't know the difference
between the king and the knave."
There was an awkward silence, and
then she realized what she had said
and was covered with confusion. The
King, of course, laughed it off, and
now tells the story with gusto. -

TaffetaS MantelOtS,

Evidently repenting of her lack Of
consideration for the woman who has
passed the rubicon of middle age, La
Mode has issued an imperative COM
mand that taffetas mantelots which
merely silhouette the figure shall be
worn with suede or satin-faced cloth
skirts. Such toilets are instinct with
artistic merit, the rouleaux trimming
on these little wraps being as novel
as it is effective.

Attached Collars.

It is quite the fashion now to put
the turnover collar into the neck

if the sleeve is long the turnover
cuff, which is always attached, soils
as easily as the collar and necessl-
tates the shirt waist going to the

Norfolk, Va, Jan. S.-A broken mes
sage received here over the United
States Seacoast telegraph wires today,
from Cape Hatteras on the North Caro-
lima coast reports the stranding and
loss on the Diamond Shoals yesterday
of an unknown schooner out of whose
crew OF seven men. five persisted and
two were saved. The message reports
bound from Long Point, Me-, to
Charleston, s. c.. laden with fish scrap.
The captain Of the vessel was among
those who were lost
The two men who escaped are re-
ported to be foreigners who heard those
aboard say that the vessel was ~ years
old. The schooner according to the
dispatch, went to pieces within 80 min
utes after she struck on the shoals dur
ing the fierce gale.
The wires to Cape Hatteras are not
working at all now and fuller informa-
ton concerning the wreck is unobtain-
able.

schooner. the identity OF which is still
unestablished, are the vessels cook. an

JANUARY GALE.

Boston, Jan. 8.-The combined efforts
OF two disturbances, one from the ives.
and the other from the south, gave
New England a storm last night and
early today which whirled about at
velocities ranging from 40 to 60 miles
an hour and resulted in destruction
both on land and sea- The storm was
heralded. however. SO that the damage,
despite the severity Of the gale. was
not SO heavy as usual. .- -
Up to noon today, the only wreck
of any description was the grounding
of the Boston fishing schooner Beu.na
Mt the end of Cape Cod last night
while she was running into Province
town Earbor. The crew was taken off
without difficulty as the vessel was
under the lee Of the cape at that time
but when the wind hauled to the west
ward today the vessel soon went to
pices. The gale ard the high tide
cut the beaches badly in the vicinity
Of Chatham and completely changed
the asneot Of the shore for many miles.
In this harbor the schooner Clara
Donnell went adrift in the upper har-
Dor and grounded on Bird Island flats
1t is expected that she viii be hauled
off without damage. The center of
the storm passed very close to Boston.

A TOTAL WRECK.
Fishing Schooner Beuma Pounds to
Pieces at Provincetown.

Provincetown, Mass, Jan. a-The
Boston fishing schooner Beun1a, which
grounded on Race Point last night
while running into the harbor, began
to go to pieces at dawn today under
the constant hammering by the heavy
seas, and it is probable that she will
break up completely in the next "a
hours. Her crew was taken off last
night without difficulty by the life
savers from Race Point and Wood End
stations.
Realizing that their vessel would
be In bad position as soon as the
wind hauled into the south and west.
the crew did not hesitate to leave her
last night. although many Of them
stayed at the stations in the hope that
the gale might abate and leave their
craft in a position where che might
be pulled off.
But instead Of subsiding the gale In
creased in intensity during the night
and had at the same time worked
around from southeast to west as was
anticipated. This sealed the fate Of the
Beuma, and at dawn today 1t was seen
that the seams were opening and that
the masts were beginning to wabble.
Three hours later the vessel was prac-
tically total wreck

CAPITAL CHAT.
Maine Members Are Now
Hard at Work.
Their Share in The Big Appro7
priation Bills.
The Committee Work Which Takes
Time and Thought.

Washington, D. c., Jan. S.-(SpeciaD.
-Maine's two senator's and four
representatives settled down to their
work for the session in earnest with
the resumption of Congress this week.
1t is generally expected that it will be
q do-nothing session but that certainly
will not apply to the Maine delegation.
Practically every man of the Six are
on committees that will have to deal
with legislation. even if Congress does
nothing but pass the appropriation
bills.
Three of the six men are on commit
tees that handle appropriations. First,
of course, is Senator Hale. who
handles more appropriation bills every
session and has bigger say in that
connection than any other man at the
Capitol. AS usual he will have his
hands full, for not only will he have
to supervise the preparation OF the
Navy Appropriation bill this year, af-
ter it passes the House, and likewise
look after several other appropriation
bills in the committee on appropria-
tons. but ne is doing as much or
more than any other senator Of the
Finance Committee in framing a cur
rency reform law.
Representative Amos Allen now
takes his place at an appropriati ION
table as q member Of the Indian Com
mittee. The Indian appropriation bill.
which the Indian Committee handles,
is one of the most troublesome of all
the appropriation bills. Out of the
West and Southwest always come a
horde OF people trying to get money at
the expense Of the Indian or Of the
Government. These schemes of graft
appear in all manner of guises and are
so numerous and SO persistently
pressed that it has become an impor-
tant matter for the members OF the
committee TO detect what is merito-
riouS and what is not. 1t has been the
policy In Senate and House to have a
few Eastern men on both Indian Com
mittees, because it is not so easy for
men with schemes to influence them.
The Western. men, of course, often
have constituents who are concerned
in these schemes and accordingly they
cannot turn the applicants down as
easily as senators and members living
farther away can Go.

on public buildings and grounds will

Portland, Me-. Jan. S.-The only posi-
Bile trace so far concerning the identity
of the schooner lost off the Diamond
Shoal yesterday is the fact that the
schooner Leonora, with cargo of f1sh
scrap. was bound from Round Pond. Me-.

mand Of Capt Gilchrist, left Round Pond
about Nov. IS for Charleston, and was
last reported at Saunderston. r. l.. where
