 of Feline.

Catoetrophe came to many cats oi all c,2ases at the annual exhibit of the Los ngeles (Cal) Cat club,
 Here is Mrs. de Bjin's description of the perfect or standard cat:
 "TEe perfect type of male must have a large round head, small ears set far apart, and large, round eyes, He should be set low on his legs, and the upper joints of the legs should be short The male should have large, strong legs, and the broad chest of the bulldog. He should have a general stocky build. Colors vary with the diff. ferent classes. The nose should be stub, and the tail, when extended oves the back, should not reach farther than the shoulder joint. In general, the brush should be short and thick, aud in proportion to the build. The same characteristics are required for females, except that the rugged frame of the male is not essential.
 "A tabby cat l. a cat with mark ings, either of stripes or blotches, 1n light or dark shades. The name comes from the old Persian word Atabe, meaning watered silk"

Where Women Work.

The smallest dependency of France is the He d'Hoedle, situated at the east of Belle Isle. It's population is two hundred and thirty-eight. They do not speak French, except the cure and the school master, but Celtic, and they are provided with food at an inn managed by the women. Fishing Is the principal industry. The profits are divided up each year among the inha abitants. The men live on soup and fish, and smoke pipes with lobster claws for stems. The women do all the hard work-zget in the harvest, look out for wreckage, and gather seaweed, from which they extract soda. The town has no streets, The houses are of mud. The islanders have a yearly feast in the early part of October The island possesses a good water supply. The governing body is composed of the ten ancients of the place, under the direction of the cure.

Passion of Ambition.

Ambition, that high and glorious passion which makes such havoc among the sons of men, arises from a proud desire of honor and distinc ton, and, when the splendid trappings In which it Is usually caparisoned are removed will be found to consist of the mean materials of envy, pride and covetousness. It Is described by diff ferent authors as a gallant madness, a pleasant poison, a hidden plague, a secret poison, a caustic of the soul, the moth of holiness, the mother of hypocrisy, and by crucifying and dis quieting all it takes hold of, the cause ard Burton.

Modern Game of Chess.

Chess, as played today is 8 compar- at1vely modern game, but is the out come of centuries of development. The earliest record of chess problems is thought to be a passage in a Persian manuscript attributed to Caliph Kalif- on Mutasin Bilah, who reigned nine years in Bagdad in the first of the ninth century, A. D. If the passage were understood it would be found to refer to a game of chess so unlike that eof today that the problem would make no interesting appeal to any

Superb Evening Gowns.
There can be no question that this

coronation be seen, for the magnifcence
of dress at this event was proof positive
Of what might be accomplished when ex-
pense did NOT have to be considered. The
of texture, coloring and de-
sign in the brocades now to be bought
have rarely if ever been surpassed. The
gold and silver woven throughout the silk,
satin or velvet adds materially to the ef-
feet, but there are other sorts of brocades
without any sold or silver that are Of
the finest weave and texture. Once more

evening gown, and as a material for the
entire gown there is nothing more salts

DEGREES that there shall be folds and pleats
or draping. Satin crepe de Chine is eI-
tremely fashionable now for evening
gowns, and is also a satisfactory material,
although it lacks the richness and depth
of the former. Plain and brocaded designs
are both popular, and the new brocade
crepe de Chine is an extremely smart
fabric in the most fascinating of colors,
one shade of blue being especially notice
able. 1t has an unusual pattern through
out and it is made up with white lace,
the crepe de Chine in the train and waist
and the front of the skirt in the lace.
Black lace is extremely fashionable this
season, but, like the embroidered nets and
laces, is difficult to treat satisfactorily.
When it does turn out well there is moth
ing smarter, and the style of putting i'll
over satin- white or colored, and them
trimming it with velvet works out better
than any other way. There is a certain
shade of white satin over which black lacel
is most effective, and the present fashion

economist -Inds that she can be indepen-
dent if she so desires and yet be smartly
gowned if on the skirt she uses only the
material in folds or drapery and then
has the effective and costly trimming only
on the waist.
There are few absolutely simple evening
gowns so far to be exhibited. Almost all
are made with draperies or have double
skirts, and while the embroidered and
jewelled tunic are smarter than ever they
are worn over skirts so fashioned that the
double skirt effect is well defined and tbo
tunic can be either drapet : left to fall
in straight lines. Draping is a marked
feature in all evening gowns this winter.
but 1t may only be seen in the draping of
the long sash at the side or back, the idea
apparently being to break the straight line.
At the same time straight lines are not
out Of fashion, and the slender lines are
just as obligatory as they were, only the
draping is the latest fashion and must be
recognized accordingly.
Pearl and Spangled Lace.
Pearl and spangled lace is always most
effective, but is a fabric most difficult to
handle, and often there is bitter disap-
pointment In consequence when gown
that has been ordered, and at a good
price, is sent home and found lacking in
smart effect The material is just what

unwilling though it be, upon the latest
examples of the designers art.
Oddly enough there is more change in
the evening gowns this season than in any
others, and while it will be possible to re-
model some of last years designs the
latest styles are most distinctive and in
marked contrast to last winter. Some
Of the more eccentric styles of last season
are again to be used this year with only
slight modification, or it might be said,
sxaggeration, of those of last winter.

smallest of boxes, while 50 superb are
many of the brocades and fabrics that they
require no stifening or lining, and yet
they are not stiff and thick and clumsy.
Long Skirts and Trains.
Long skirts simply have to be fashionable
with the present materials, trains are
fairly obligatory with such satins, yelvets
and brocades of all kinds, and the court
train is imminent, while for the moment
there are still the fish tail, double and sim
gle, trains and the long square train Of
the material different from the rest of the
gown, different in color If not in fabric.
Young girls can have their dancing frocks
made short, and the picturesque short
frock is again fashionable. but the older
woman can again look her best in the
train skirt made of the rich materials that
are never more effective than when used
in this fashion. And the clever woman
realizes that trains of rich material are Of
great service to the forced to be econ0mi-
cal, for with addition of a train a last
years gown cad often be satisfactorily
remOdelled without much expense barring
the material for the train. The last years
gown need not be ripped apart If it is in
