She looked so distressed, so pretty, and
so young-beauty in tears and unreconcil-

up right tight and petting her. when sud-
denly she said:

into something else, and chatted about

Gowns More DecoIlete.

PARIS-"Our latest models are more decollete than any fashions for
 twenty years past" says the manager of famous fashion house. They
 are cut with great depth, not only in front and at the back, but also at the sides beneath the arms. Sometimes there is falling drapery, carried al ! ways from the edge of the dress, but
 this is quite transparent. The ten dency is for morning dresses also
 to be cut with increased decollete.
 "The effect at a casual glance is that of a dress which has accidental 1 ly slipped down to just above the waist and is retained by single thin | slip of material ne2ligently over one of the body for three inches below it
 are left free.
 "Muffs for the legs are novel fash ion accompanying the unusually lonG spell of bitterly cold weather still prevailing in Paris. The mode of the
 slit skirt and the fairylike shoe led
 "pany smart Partisan women to take severe colds even while crossing the pavement from a heated motor clr i to the door of restaurant or the ater. The leg huff. which is design
 ed to remedy this, is silk logging, | lined with fur, which can be drawn i over light shoe and comes above ; the knee. It is taken off at the same time as the opera cloak and left in
 the cloakroom" ',
 l When Andrew D. White was min , ister to Germany he received man datory epistle from an old lady in the West. who inclosed in her letter four pieces of white linen, each some
 six inches square "We are going to have 3 fair in our church." she wrote,
 "and am making aE autograph quilt. want you to get mo the autographs
 of the emperor, the empress. the crown prince and Bismarck: and tell them to be careful not to write too
