Summary of House.

Washington. Dec. n.--A new record fin the transaction of the public bust- ness was established by the House of Representatives today.
 The legislative, executive and judi. cial appropriation bill, which usually excites considerable discussion lasting for several days, was passed with lit- tie debate and practically in the shape in which 1t came from the committee An unusual feature was that ho mem Der asked for time to indulge in gen. eral talk. The facility with which the bill of l65 pages was put through was the subject Of much comment on the floor and the members of the Appro- priations Committee fattered them selves on the outcome. The bill car- ries an appropriation of s3I,665,32 320.
 The House immediately after conven- ing, unanimously and without debate adpoted a resolution providing for the appointment of committee of five to consider the reference to the secret service in the Presidents message and to suggest what action, if any, should

Eighteenth Century Mules

In the way Of footwear nothing could
be more captivating for young girls
than the dainty little eighteenth CEN
tury mules which have come again int
fashion. 1t is so eminently proper for
the wearer to display them that the
directoire frocks which women wear
and which hang long on the floor. are
coquettfshly caught up bit In front
for the express purpose OF showing on
the fetching mules. Girls who do not
wear sweeping gowns are therefore at
an advantage. for the length OF their
skirts is such that the pretty mules
show all around
The mules are made OF satin and
may be ornamented with a tiny spray
OF flowers or a small tulle rosette. or
be absolutely plain, according 10 ones
desires. For girls the most charming
are those of white. but all colors are
permissible provided the shade worn
precisely matches the gown. To dance
in them, or even 10 walk in them. Is
quite an art, for there is nothing but
ones own ingenuity 10 keep them on at
the heel. but our girls are as clever as
the French demoiselles. who manag ged
them with. charming grace.

The Western church is 20 miles

mortality are one. I think the beau
ties of this world that lie around and
about us must convince US of the beau
ties of that to come. Indeed. life is
glorious, but IL does not all end here.
She explains that although her beau
tiful southern home has been left for a
pilgrimage into a strange land OF the
far west there are many things TO re
place the old, for she says: so you see
