Coats lonqer.

Coats of nearly every kind and for
any wear are somewhat longer this
year than formerly. There are, of
course. some short jackets and some
extremely long coats accompanying
runabout suits. but the minimum av-
erage length for the popular walking
coat is 80 inches.
Right pretty are some of the little
silk coats in la Vatican, shown
among the recent Paris importations.
They are often trimmed with hand
some laces or galloons and sometimes
with rare embroideries.
Silk coats in the tone of the skirt
are more used than are cloth ones like
the skirt. especially in suits to be
worn for anything like dress occa-
sions. These coats are usually loose
and made in odd styles, in imitation
of 25 or more years ago.

This vine is better known as wan

water as in soil. 1t comes in the plain
green and variegated leaves, and is a
charming addition TO room as well
as making the air more moist. The
vines root readily in water and need
comparatively little light.
About once week the plants are
carefully removed, the jar washed and
filled with pure water. A small lump
of charcoal in the water will keep 1t

Loeb's Next Berth a Cause of Worrv

few years ago there was a scheme
afoot to elect Mr. Loeb as president Of
Washington street railroad company.
He became greatly interested in the
matter, enlisted some financial friends
in New York and bought into the stock
of the road quite heavily Ambitious
arguments were advanced regarding
what Mr.. Loeb could do for the road.
1t has to go before congress, session
after session. for tid-bits of legislation,
which are very essential none the less.
But senators, who have little liking
for the president, intimated that the
man who had served as the presidents
secretary would have a fine old time
persuading them to vote for his bills,
Therefore the owners of the street
railroad began quietly to lay plans for
side-tracking the Loeb presidential
idea. and about a year ago another
was chosen to head the street rail-
way.
Since then Secretary Loeb's name
has been mentioned in connection
with a number of good posts by pur-
veyors of capitol gossip, but each
story has been in turn denied
The latest report is that he will be-
come collector of the port of New
York after March 4.

USE FOR THE SEPARATE TuNIc.
VIII Transform Oid-Fashioned Frock
Into Something Smart.

Clever women have found out that a
separate tunic. made of another ma
terial than the gown and draped over
1t. is an excellent method of altering
an oldfashioned frock
There are some skirts that are too
short TO be lifted up even for two
inches on the bodice to give the en-
pire effect. and they are too much
out OF style to wear as they are.
If the skirt and bodice are put to-
gether by their Innings and two or
three folds of self-colored material
neatly draped around the waistline in
orcer to make 1t invisible, the founda-
ZION work is finished.
The tunic may be made of net
chiffon cloth. bands of net and EN-.
broidered satin. or all-over lace edged
with fur or gold galloons
This is cut with seam down mid
die of back and neatly draped three
inches above the waistline, headed with
folls of the material or a piece of the
trimming used elsewhere.
This tunic drops from bust to
knees and gives the exact line that IL
needs this winter on smart frocks.

Exceptional
Equipment

of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge Of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them

comes from the treasury is more
cheeriully paid. The first time a pen.
sion was ever suggested for the widow

William Henry Harrison. who died one
month after his Inauguration.
The death of Harrison appealed
peculiarly to the nation, and the sum
of s25.OOO outright was voted her. She

of 20 years. The second. Mrs. Tyler.
drew pension OF $4,000 per annum

w WASHINGTON-That the fascina-

ton of life at the American capital
depends much upon the beauty and
gorgeousness of the court costumes of
the foreign diplomats and the officers
of our army and navy, who are regu-
larly called into service for social
duty, is not to be controverted, and
when these attractions are combined
with the imposing form and ceremony
attendant upon the city surrounding a
president of the United States and his
cabinet, and the direct representatives
OF foreign powers to this government,
you have a brilliant and interesting
phas. of life scarcely known in the

While the president of the United
States appears at formal entertain

and ut evening affairs in the simple.
som:;er formal habiliments every
American man wears after dark, he is
surrounded by his aids from all

The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. It has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains. backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fiatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you

Bright Scenes When President Entertains

and the military and naval attaches of
the embassies and legations.
Two great occasions on which the
White House is resplendent with the
gorgeous uniforms of the diplomats
and our own military and naval men
are the reception of the president on
January /, when every member of the
corps, with his wife and daughters,
calls to wish the president a happy
New Year, and about ten days later at
the diplomatic reception prescribed by
precedent. which is the first of a
series OF formal evening receptions
the president gives during the winter.
Upon numerous occasions, and al
ways at the White House, both the
head OF the navy and of the army ap-
pear in their conspicuous full dress
uniforms, which are quite as rich as
those OF many of the foreign ambassa-
dors and ministers. Scarcely second
in brilliancy to the reception given by
the president to the diplomats is that
at which he is host for the army and
navy, when hundreds of the higher Of
ficers of both branches of the service
attend in their gala uniforms.
The senior aids to the president,
who make all of the presentations to
him at all entertainments and attend
him upon all occasions, practically live
in their official regalia, while the
younger aids are almost daily called
upon to wear their best uniforms.
In fact, there is a splendor about
the official social life of the American
capital which is scarcely second to
that of any court of Europe, and which
sets it apart from all other cities of
the United States
