The Santa Fe is preparing to put in

hat boxes one will contain letters,
one scraps Of ribbons and laces-it

these, there are bundles OF maya

in private theatricals-if all these
things have been placed under the
bed against the protests Of the fam

through a moving, then their own
ers have the attic instinct to such an
extent that there is not the slight

They will think from an attic point
Of view for the rest Of their lives.
and their family might as well be

When people are willing to make
themselves dlsagreeable over a bit

nor should they be suspected Of do

Their characters were formed and
have now hardened for a scheme Of
life whore certain things were al
ways kept IN the cellar, others in
the wood shed. Others in the pantry
and the cupboard on the first floor.
still others in the closets on the
next floor, and everything and any
thing that overfiowed from any OF
these places was just taken up to
the attic. And now these poor dear
souls live with a cellar, three stories

GOLDEN NEEDLES.
They Were Used When Gallants In
France Did Fancy Work.

During the old regime in France
about which so much glamour re-
mains 70 us, the very men who were
living and making the history of the
empire Of Louis passed their leisure
time in a way that seems TO "a Of
today utterly ridiculous. In all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
ed themselves the men seem TO have
taken part
Polnsinet in one Of his comedies
represents a young marquis enter
ing a room where two fair damsels
are embroidering. One is working
piece Of dress trimming, the other
Marty flounce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eve Of a
eonnolsseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
is too polite to notice any defects.

sofa and. seizing one end of the
fiounce, assists lsmene, to whom he
pays special attention, 10 complete
her task.
At this time il was the custom OF
the ladies invariably to carry their
workings with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots
Gentlemen also carried deity EN-
broidered little bags into company.
which held "a whole arsenal Of cut
lery and fancy articles. such as
boxes of different shapes filed with
lozenges, bonbons. snuff and scent
At another period the fashion Of
the day was to cut out drawings
from books and pamphlets and to
paste them on screens, lamp shades,
boxes and vases. The skill in this
was TO so arrange the drawings or
parts of different drawings as to
produce curious or amusing eff
feet Then there came season
when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave a peculiarly
good opportunity 10 exercise the
light and rapid wit so conspicuous
in the French. Every evening the
drawing rooms were converted into
impromptu charades. Some lady
would suggest a word or phrase, and
forthwith it would be converted into
the subject of sprightly little play
Many of the word games now cur
rent with US in America had their
origin in the necessity the French
gallons were under in the last cen
tury to divert themselves. In some

on Ell Traile island has been built a
fixed battleship OF concrete having two
steel turrets in each OF which are
mounted two fourteen-inch guns
These turrets can be trained in any

The original plan for the fortifcation
Of I'll Fraile contemplated the enlarge

and narrow and the establishment Of
an ordinary fort This plan, however
was abandoned in favor Of the con
