Capes in military effects are seen
for young girls evening wear.
Fine silk-and-wool cashmere Is
forging steadily ahead as a favorite
in dress goods.
Buckles of fine, highly polished
wood are one of the latest conceits Of
Paris.
The old-fashioned toe slipper with
big square gold or silver or bronze
buckle is modsh.
Three yards is considered, good size
for the bottom of the gored skirt of a
smartly tailored suit.
White trimmings, such as braid
and buttons, will be used freely on
colored gowns and coats.
All-over soutached net yokes and
guimpes are an exceedingly popular
finish to the one-piece dress.
Little princess tunics are being
worn, mostly with side opening, and
buttoning nearly to the hem.
A new idea in hair ornaments Is
an adaptation of the old-fashioned
back comb worn by children.
The crepe de chimes are as good as
ever, ranging from the simplest to
the richest, mostly satiny weaves.
Like coats of mail are some of the
bodices of the princess dresses, so
covered are they with soutache braid
ing.
Dainty evening dresses are made Of
silk Brussels net dyed in the evening
colors and trimmed with satin to
match.
| Black braid and horsehair hats
look pretty trimmed with jet, and
very handsome cabuchons, banding
and cut ornaments are used on many.
The fashionable coat is long, form
revealing, but not tight fitting, hip
less in effect, with small sleeves and
some touch in the form of buttons or
revers to suggest the Directoire.
A reaction is already setting in
against the much-trimmed tailored
suit. The cut is still in the hipless
effect, but trimmings are omitted. the
collar Is mannish and the sleeves sug-
gestive of those of mans coat.

Talking Postcards.

Talking postcards have been spo-
ken of for some time past. They
have now become an accomplished
fact in Europe, though they are hard
ly likely to come within reach of the
million just yet. Happily they have
not reached such perfection that on
coming down in the morning ones
correspondence will hail one in va
rious voices. 1t is CHASTITY to think of
everybody's postcards shouting
around the table. So far the phono-
graphic message card can only be
made to speak" by taking it to a
postal centre, where it is placed in a
machine which sets it in notion

Progress Retarded by Caste

Upon India, at once the wealthiest
and poorest Of nations, hangs the
milestone of caste, damper to all
ambition. dead weight to all pro-
gress. The Sudra may not hope for
advancement or reward. The Brah-
min and the warrior and the prince
remain superior by birth and law.
But with both classes, each forbidden
to assist the other, there is desire
for gain and the boarding of gain.

New handkerchief Pattern.

One of the newest handkerchief
patterns is crossbar hemstitched
lawn, showing an embroidered poppy
in one corner. Another is a sheer,
plain hemstitched lawn with but
terhy alighting on a tiny spray Of
flowers worked in embroidery in one
corner, while third is fine, plain
handkerchief hemstitched and bor-
dered in diamond dots with a wide
border all around.

Velvet Neckband,

The black velvet neckband, that for
a short time was little seen, is now
again being effectively used to give
the desired piquant touch of black to
the guimpe of the one-piece frock.
The velvet is very narrow, from half
an inch to little more in width, and
is usually placed at the base of the
lace stock; the ends are then crossed
in the front, and small brooch or
buckle holds them in place.

and music would be rather out Of
place.
Some brides wear white on these
occasions, but 1t is white cloth or
some similar material, and not what
is known as bridal attire with it's ac-
companying court train. Whether
the bride wears white or gray a
toque takes the place of veil, and
she invariably carries sheaf of lilies
in lieu of q bouquet, while some
times she carries prayer book and
not the flowers. 1t is very rarely that
bridal attire is worn by bride when
no reception is to follow the cere-
mony. There are, of course, excep-
tions to this, but the received rule
is not to do so.

THE WIFE.

The hatle Dreams of Maidenhood-
j Juk them all away
A fen8erly as mothers would
The toys OF yesterday,
When Ettle children grow to men
Ton syerwise for play.
The Eiile dreams put aside
bored them, every one,
And yet, since moonblown buds must hide
Before the MONDAY sun,
I close them wistfully away,
And give the key to none.
D liffie Dreams Of Maidenhood-
Iie quietly, nor care
II so,Be day in an idle mood
4, searching unaware
Through some closed corner of my heart,
Shonld laugh TO find you there.

WEDDING INVITATIONS.

In the matter of wedding invita-
tions the notice given varies some
what, according to the Importance OF
the function-that Is to say, whether
1t is to be smart wedding or quiet.
In the first instance, the regulation
notice is from three weeks to fort
night; in the second, fortnight or
even less is not unusual.
The invitations to smart weddings
are issued in notes printed In Ink,

not in silver, while to quiet weddings
written notes often take the place OF
printed.
The form of the invitation is as fol-
lows: "Mr. and Mrs. A-request the
pleasure of Mr.. and Mrs. BIS COM
pany at the marriage of their daugh-
ter Blanche with Mr.. Cecil c. at st.
Mary's Church, Heathfield, on
Wednesday, February IT, at 2.30
o'clock, and afterward at the Cedars.

When a bride is a stepdaughter Of
Mr.. A she is referred to in the in
vitation as Mrs. As daughter,
Miss Blanche Blank, but II she is
stepdaughter of Mrs. A the words
their daughter Blanche" are usually
allowed to stand.
If the reception is given by the
uncle and aunt of the bride, their
niece, Miss Blanche Blank" is SUBJ
stituted for the words "their daug-
ter" and, again, If the reception is
given by the married sister of the
bride and her husband, the words
their sister" are substituted for
"their daughter" and in every case
the invitations are issued in the
names of husband and wife and the
answers should be directed to the
mother or other relative Of the bride.
Occasionally guests are merely
asked to witness the ceremony at the
church in the event of quiet we'd

will meet at house subsequently.

says the Queen, whether choral SER
vice should be held at this style Of
wedding, and whether floral decora-
tions in the church are in good taste

swer to both these questions is in the
affirmative, always supposing that the

WOMAN A WORLD POWER.

Woman is still in the ring, and
holding her own. Who is the man
who holds the key to the political sit
uation in Europe? London and Paris
papers say it is his royal highness,
the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir
apparent to the throne of Austria
Hungary, who has subdued to his will
not only the old emperor, Francis
Joseph, but Emperor William him
self. All diplomatic issues affecting
Europe-declare the London Stand

referred to the archduke, and no
great decision is passed upon without
his sanction. Well, this mighty po-
tentate, 1t is we'll known, is controlled
by his wife-that homely Sophie

Much Copper Sold During Past Month.

The stocks of refined and pig cop per on hand June l, ready for market able pur poses, were estimated to be 17O,O0O,O ,OOO pounds or less, as compared with 183, 100000 pounds on May 1.
 Sales of all grades of copper during May approximated POO, 1000, 900 pounds, all of which calls for delivery on or before July 31, as none of the agencies has yet sold pound of August metal. This enormous total indicates heavy deliveries over the next two months, which, if evenly divided would be 1OO,- 100000 pounds each for June and July.
 There was delivered for dom estic consumers during April 47,0C0,000 pounds, compared with 4S,OO0,00O in March. h May the heavy buying by domestic consumers, much of it for prompt shipment, will call for domes tic deliveries in May of almost co., 100000 pounds; exports also were large.
 All of the large selling agencies are confident of higher prices; 13s cents would be paid for Lake, but none of the independent Michigan producers care to sell at that figure.

Peat as a Fuel.

Peat is partly decomposed vege- table matter that has formed either where the ground is saturated with water most of the time or where it is permanently covered with water. It is the dark-colored or nearly black soil found in bogs and swamps, com monly known as muck, although technically distinction is made be- tween restricted to those forms of swamp deposits that contain too much mineral matter to burn freely. Dry peat may be very fibrous and light colored or compact and struct- ureless and dark brown or black. It is usually somewhat lighter in color when dry than when freshly dug. When wet it contains as a rule from 80 to 90 per cent. or more of water: that is, a short ton of wet peat rarely contains more than 300 pounds ot dry peat and may yield as little as loo pounds. In the wet condition it is entirely uncomfortable, and the various processes by which it is pre- pared for use or market consist principally of methods for ridding it of water quickly and cheaply and for increasing it's fuel efficiency and transportd bility,

Electrical Power From the Streams of
 YavapaI County, Arizona.

While the rest of the world is
 awakening to the necessity of har- messing their streams for the purpose of furnishing cheap and economical power for the manufacturing, heat and light, the rivers and streams of Yavapal county, Arizona, are now being harnessed for the purpose of 1 furnishing cheap electrical power to light and heat the cities and towns,
 run the machinery of the mills, mines
 and smelters in the great mineral
 belt of the banner mining county of
 the territory of Arizona. Because of
 the fact that transportation con-
 panies have maintained d very high
 freight rate for hauling coal and oil
 to the mines, mills and smelters, there is a universal demand through out Yavapai county for the cheap electrical power to be furnished by the streams within the coSnty.
 The Arizona Power Co. is the pion- ger in this field. The plant of this company is situated on Fossil creek, a tributary of the Verde river. In a short time this company will begin to distribute cheap power to some of the mines, mills and smelters.
 To meet the further demand for cheap power the Pacific Water Power Co. has been organized to har- ness the waters of the Verde river a few miles below the mouth of Fossil creek. This company has been ex tremely fortunate in acquiring a site tor its power plant where the cost of installation will be reduced very materially on account of the rivers making a detour of several miles and forming a horseshoe bend, leaving but a few hundred feet of land separating the streams, giving a fall of 160 feet. By means of tunnel } 300 feet in length the waters of the Verde river will be turned on the wheel in the power house.
 The immense mineralized country which lies tributary to these two power projects has 10 equal in a like area known on the face of the earth. Many of the lodges and deposits are of low grade and are awaiting the advent ot cheap power to turn their precious streams into the channels of l commerce.
