Cousin Janet" is even prettier and
more stylish than Sister Prue," and she
is bringing with her four lovely costumes
that she wore at the horse show. One
gown Of cherry velvet is matched by
a cherry velvet hat shaded with pink
plumes Another toilet consists of a
dark velvet empire cloak banded with
ermine that almost covers the dress of
tan broadcloth, and there are two more
gowns-one of champagne satin, richly
embroidered, and another Of lovely white
lace. The hats that go with them ex-
press the latest DEGREES In French mil
linery, just as each gown is the design
OF some world-famed modiste.
cousin Janet must have had word
from "Sister Prue'' about the enthusi-
astic welcome given to her last Sunday
by the little girls OF Washington, and
it is doubtless owing to her desire to
make an equally favorable impression
that she is bringing SO many beautiful
clothes.

order for the market. The fruit continues
cheap. and many thousand punches of

sold in this city each month The
arrivals at Baltimore average about q
hundred thousand punches each week
and good proportion of this quantity is
brought to this city by rail. It has been
stated that efforts were to be made
shortly to have fruit steamer bring
cargoes direct to this city in order TO
avoid the handling OF the fruit from
steamer to car and then from car to stor-
age house. but as yet no move in that
direction has been made.

The amazing discovery was made that
the real cause of the frequent attacks

ut is now proposed to amend the rule
so as to provide that the motion to dis
charge a committee shall be voted upon
without reading the text Of the bill. That
amendment is simple and is perfectly sat-
isfactory to me. 1t would be foolish, of
course. to ask the House to vote upon a
proposition without knowing what it was.
or without permitting any member of the
House to know what 1t is by its being
read, but such amendment will not pre-
vent filibustering. 1 could introduce a
