@APES are coming back Fashion has
u revived them along with other
quaint styles of 1880. A great many
different styles are seen, and there is no
set rule governing either the length, style
or shape The lengths vary from those
reaching to about the waist to others ex-
tending below the knees Some are wide,
circular affairs cut in one piece, others
are of regulation cape effect in back, but
have sort of vest or inset coat effect in
front. Another type is made with sleeves,
and perhaps the most important Of all is
the cape coat. This garment is a three
quarter coat with a cape over the Shout
ders and across the back. Some of these
are sleeveless and others are made with
sleeves under the cape.
In the Powered silks, ripping from the
shoulders to the hips capes are trimmed
with silk or chiffon double box-plaited
ruchings. and they will be delightful for
cool summer evenings. These are dainty,
fluffy garments. The cape and waistcoat
combined is called the musketeer cape.

THERB is great gulf fixed be-
tween what is smart and what
is fashionable. A woman may
sigh for one and yet be con-
tent with the other. There are
various reasons for this condition which
many women think makes them I'M
smart style is quite often the wrong
style for that especial woman. Another
reason is that economy demands the
clothes that serve for many purposes
and not for the occasion.
Nothing irritates one more than the
constant warning by the mental slave
attached to our judgment as Caesars
slave was attached to his triumphal car,
that We must remember our bank &C
count. To be always told by our own
brains that only the rich woman can af-
ford the exquisite creation We desire
for a wedding, or a dance, or card
party. and that our choice must be gov
erned by durability and length of serv-
ice. is dsheartening to all humans.
Did you ever read that story by Ruth
McEnery Stuart, called The Thread of
Scarlet" and sympathize cordially with
the woman who wanted something red,
glaringly, vividly red, just because she
had had only the serviceable colors in
her life? And how she had learned to
think such desire for color was sin?
| know a woman of limited means who
bought the brightest green velvet gown
offered her last winter, and stood de-
family facing the united criticism of her
family and gloried in her shamefaced
sin. The verdict of the family was
justified. She could not wear the gown
to many affairs. and it was soon out of
fashion, but she vehemently declared
that she had had her hour. That was
something.
All her starved. self-sacrificing life she
had stinted on clothes and worn the left
overs of her rich friends. and kept to
black and dark blue in her annual pur-
chases: then she went quite wild one
day and invested the money for the half
year allowance on that quite mad grass
green gown. She looked ravishingly love-
ly in 1t. and her heart sang spring song
of delight and she went back to her mis-
fits and her rainy day tones, not with
regret or a sad lesson well learned, but
with the joy of Penrod in having COM
u1itted her pet sin.

IGNORE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.
Some cstissns Continue to Defy Rules Through carelessness or ignorance.

It is likely that the new traffic r1f sS will be more vigorously enforced in tho future. There have been a num- Der of occasions lately where indtvid- : ua1s have been cautioned two and three tirnes for violations of the same section, and if a person continues to violate the rules after several warn ings he certainly deserves no sympathy If he should be compelled to appear in court on tine next offense. So far the police authorities have contented themselves with admonitions, and on the whole the plan has worked finely, but those who impose on the good na- ture of the traffic officers by repeated violations will have to be dealt witn in a different way.
 It is surprising how some of those who use the streets every day show their unfan1i1iarity with the rules even yet. One prominent man left his car headed the wrong way on one of the side streets leading off Main, and said he thought that provision only applied to Main street
 In regard to the blocking of the side walks by teams, one merchant in 'hs district between Union and the rail road tracks on Main street, who is l1s- ing his side door as a result of the prohibition of loading by backing across the sidewalk, stated Friday that he found the new way very little if any more inconvenient than the old and it was in many ways more satis- factory. When the newness of the rules has worn off, it is likely that many others will come to the same opinion.

castIes of the pardaneIlas.

What are. or what Is, the Darda- nei1es? The name seems to have had It's origin long before we had ceased to think of the wztery boundary be- tween Europe and Asia as the Henes. pont. The strait was at first defend- ed by four castles two on each side) about twenty miles apart-the Old and the New Castles. These four castles were known as the Dardanelles, and from the castles the strait got a new name.
 But before the Grimean War newer fortifications were built. which for @ long time usarped the name, so that when military starteg1ets talked at large, the Dardanelles came to mean these wonderful new forts. How won derfgI they appeared in the first half of the nineteenth century one can gather from contemporary history, which declares: Among them are several immense guns from which stone shot are discharged. The qIan- tity of powder which these guns re- qulre Is enormous; the largest s charged with ss0 pounds" Such stone shot would hardly stagger allied hu- n1anity todays--London Chronicle.
