Its curious thing" observed Nancy the other day, as she and The Spinster returned from round of spring open ings, what part clothes play in womans life. No wonder the writers of all ages who pretend to understand the psychology of womans soul always starts their stories from beginnings as inconsequent as a pink slipper or an azure tinted scarf
 That's a true beginning replied Miss Caroline. "The great crisis of a woman 5 life is often brought about by some thing equally as trifing. A woman can stand anything-sickness, hunger. debt, cold and all sorts of hard luck, but she never really revolts until she is ushered into the presence of some other woman toasting her pretty little feet encased in dainty pink satin slippers, before a nice, comfortable fire, and the graceful folds of her pink satin negligee covering her like a cloud.'
 T have always been morally sure that I'd be perfectly happy if I had all the clothes I want and the kind of clothes" said Peggy.

El Paso Texas, March 27.-(Special)- That Jose Yves Limantour will be the acting President of Mexico. with Ber- nardo Reyes as minister of war, ana interior, and with Diaz and Corral, at present President and vice president, en route to Europe within the next few months, is the guess in this section by persons who have watched Mexican ar fairs. The insurrectos in the city decline to discus sthe cabinet resignatons except to intimate that it is the first step toward reforms that may bring back peace and right in their troubled country. They do not say that right will come. for they will not admit that General Diaz could do anything that would please "the com mon people" the people who are fighting against the interests" but they think that there is a chance of affairs taking a turning that may end the war.
 Americans posted on Mexican affairs look upon the present occurrence as the first real light to break through the clouds that have been hanging over Mexico for more than a. year. Diaz will never resign, they say, but he will ap- point a cabinet that will be acceptable to all the people, one that Is neither anti Diaz nor ant-revolution, but one which recognizes the good that the President has done and the right of the demands of the people.
 Corral, the vice president, Is sick man, and is already preparing to go to Europe It is the belief that Diaz, after naming Limantour prime minister. will also leave for Europe This would leave Limantour as friend in the presi- dential chair. Limantour has already ex- pressed sympathy with the demands of the insurrectos, and he is expected to carry out reforms that would placate them.
