the shape of a tunic over an underskirt of the same lovely rose tinted satin.
 This dress, which does reveal in any way how it is attached. clings to the figure like the skin of an animal The top of the bodice and the tight-ftting sleeves are of rebrode gold lace, the sleeves be- ing laced into the armhole by black che nile.
 Very beautiful also are the bead frignes which are being used over supple satin dresses These fringes are usually hung like drapery from the waist to the knees and with every movement scintiliate like raindrops. The beads are made in the same color the dress, but marvellous effects can be obtained by using colors which, instead of harmonizing, contrast with the general shade of the toilet.

l Paris, November 14-They have re- 1 turned at last those charming and beau- l tful butterflies known as the "elegantes ] de Paris" One meets them while driving in the Bois de Boulogne or when taking tea at the fashionable rendezvous at the 1 Palace de Glace, and in the evening at the i theatres.
 Although at first sight the difference in 1 what is worn this year from that of last 1 appears to be but small the change is l really a most decided one. The corsages l remain practically the same shape this season as last, but there is q multitude of different arrangements. that is, guimpe l and long sleeves of tulle or lace and a draped bodice and upper short sleeves or a bolero effect.
 1t IS the skirts which have undergone most change They are made in all styles imaginable. and we see long and short skirts skirts with a raised tunic and an ! undersSirt reaching to the knee. skirts tucked back or knotted at the back like the corners of a hauikerchiew. skirts which are wound around the body like a cloth, skirts which form q simple round peat at the back and front others which have this pleat doubled or even trebled.
 Tn spite of all this diversion in style they have one point fin common-ther narrowness l have seen skirts at Pa qun's Redfern's and Doucets whose width did not exceed two yards and a half. and some do not even reach that narrow limit.
 We have two quite new innovations. the ''robe annrogyne' and the "robe aumon- iere
 The first is very daring in cut and on it's first appearance created quite small sen- sation. But. the first surprise over, 1t was decided that it Was, after all not so very shocking and it has now many fol- lowers It is usually made in somewhat reavy but sipple material, such as velvet or soft cloth When in repose 1t resem- bIes any other plain skirt, but at the slightest movement it opens in front and reveals the line of the lower limbs closely draped in the material.
 At the races l saw one of our prettiest society women clad in one of these dresses which rather unpeasantly reminded me
 
 The other style, the "aumoniere is much more graceful. It rather reminds one of the prlm little dresses worn in the Middle Ages. Made in a sort of prin- cess style it is slightly loose and draped at the waist It Is fastened at the side by row of large buttons, and row of these buttons Is placed the whole length of the long, tlght-fittng sleeve. At the side opposite to the fastening hangs small bag attached to an antique chain studded with precious stones at intervals.
 The simple and legant silhuette ob- tained by this dress is very charming and is one of the most becoming slender young people could adopt @
 Another style of dress which is very beautiful was launched by Redfern but a few days ago It Is an evening dress of rose satin charmeuse, draped over one shoulder where it ir outlined with s band of gold and the faintest suspicion of black and brought to the back. where it is knotted and falls in graceful folds In

The father re-appears at the crucial moment of the first kiss, brands Henry a villain, guised as gentleman, orders him from his house in a stormy scene, argues with his daughter and finally consents that she shall visit Henry with him that night and that they may renew their vows of love in his presence.

Fort Collins, Colo. Dec. IL
Whether the Agricultural College
shall be devoted strictly to the
teaching of farming and branches
closely allied with it. or whether the
institution shall have a broader scope
and the agricultural subjects not
made the paramount ones. was the
question which was hotly debated by
the joint legislative committee which
is now touring the state and visiting
the various institutions.
Eugene Grubb wanted purely an
agricultural school. and Professor G.
\. Lory also spoke strongly in favor
of this plan. Senator Tully Scott
was of the same opinion. A detailed
statement of the number of pupils
and other information was asked for.

ALL WESTERN ROADS
TO USE TIE ENGINE
lspecial to The sentineID. }

Denver. Dec. 1.-THE new loco
motive which the Moffat road put
into operation last week may become
the type of engine adopted for noun
tain use on all western railroads.
The Union Pacific placed an order
last week for two of them. which are
almost duplicates of the one brought
to Denver. and the Hill roads have
been experimenting with them for
some time.
The new style of locomotive is
known as the Mallet type, receiving
its name from the Frenchman who
invented it. 1t is to all intents and
purposes two locomotives combined
into one, with two sets of driving
wheels on each side. They We're
first introduced on the French rail-
roads and proved such a big success
that models were soon produced in
this country.
The Union Pacific will experiment
with the two Mallets it has ordered
on the mountain division of that
system in Wyoming.
The first test of the Mallet on the.
Moffat road proved entirely satisfac-
tory.
