mands an early showing OF spring
a styles. the shops are now filed
with pretty warm weather finery.
This has established a complete show
ing during January OF spring dress ma
teTials, especially in the cotton fabrics,
and II has become a custom to select al
this time the goods for the coming sea-
sons lingerie gowns and tub irocks
Never were the cottonE more varied
or beautiful than they are now, and
there is an equal diversity in prices,
which range from l2la cents to 81 and
over pei yard. Ratines and crepes are
sharing favor. with a noticeable prefer
ence for the latter, and the long
popular voiles are again in great de-
lnand. This is but natural. since these
fabrics are ideal for draperies and the
clinGing effects that are again fashion
able.
Printed effects are especially popular.
and the Powered crepes are very dainty.
In voiles the embroidered designs seem
10 be preferred and many of the new
ratines are in stripes, checks, and DIaids.
Checks Will have strong vogue during
the coming season and plaids are going
TO be very popular. The excellent wear
ing qualities of ratine have made this
material very modish. and while the
novelty patterns mentioned are proni-
nent, plain colors are still in demand
In the white crepes there are many
beautiful fancy weaVes. The Jacquard
and broche designs on crepe grounds are
new and pretty. White goods generally
show the preference FOR rough sur
faces. Ratine is largely used TO produce
this effect, and it is applied in broken
checks or stripes and in conventional or
floral designs.
The continued stroig vogue of ;he
separate coat will make the fancy
weaves popular. Advance models that
are receiving favorable attention show a
skirt OF plain crepe with a coat of the
printed crepe.

said the King. "to prove to me that il
is not poison. as 1 suspect it is"
Then the nephew turned pale and fell
on the floor before the King and begged
him not to make him drink the milk.
so. then, the milk does contain
poison" said the King. "and IL it had
not been for the honesty and watchful-
ness of this good fellow I should have
would have been King"
Ihe nephew did not reply, but his 81
fence convinced the King that he was
guilty. Just then a loud knocking was
heard at the gate of the castle. and
when II was answered an old woman
who was supposed to be a witch asked
to see the King.
When she was brought before the
KING she told him that she had stolen
his son, who was supposed to have been
drowned when he was a baby bU falling
overheard from the Kings yacht, but
the witch told him that she had secreted
herself on the yacht and drugged the
child and carried it OFF.
She also told the King that she was
the child's nurse that was supposed to
have drowned herself when the young
Prince fell overheard. She had done
this for some fancied wrong done her
by the Queen.
She was old now and about to die,
and she wished to clear her conscience
and also to deprive the wicked nephew
of getting the throne because he had
the day before had her driven from the
door of the palace when she came to
ask for food.
But where is my son and heir?'
asked the King. IF he was not drowned
what did you do with him?''
There stands your son." said the
witch, pointing to the-baker
When everyone had recovered from
their surprise upon hearing this strange
statement the old witch had gone and
the nephew also. and they never were
heard from again.
The poor baker became a Prince and
the old King lived happy life the rest
of his days. and was never tired of tell
ing how honest his son was when-he
was poor baker.

In their office Smart and Swift were
discussing two paintings the Glyptothek
had just bought when two kilograms
were brought in, one for each of them,
and each marked personal.
Each opened his message, and. while
Swift began to swear, Smart smiled.

in writing that you waive all claims

made out the declaration, which Smart
folded and put into his pocketbook.

An Amusing Short Story.

TIME firm was Swift &c Smart" and
dealt in antique furniture and old
u paintings.
Swift was half score OF years older
than Smart but both were very sharp
business men.
Smart was sitting in his private office
when his partner, Swift. came in and
said:
II am going to run up to Elsinore
this afternoon"
IAN right. Anything the natter"
mo, nothing at all. An old friend Of
mine, an auctioneer, asked me to run
up and give my opinion of a couple of
paintings, which the heirs of an old
lady have sent to be sold at auction.
Then there is also a Persian rug"
Never mind the rug That is not of
any interest to us. The paintings you
will buy for the firm if they are worth
anything"
81 don't think they are. from what he
says about them. But when the devil
do you mean talking about the firm ?
Did 1 ever buy anything for myself
alone, contrary to our agreement"
"Oh, nothing at all. Don't let us
quarrel Any man may be tempted -
When Swift entered his friends Of
fee that afternoon he said:
so let us have a look at your Rem
brandt"
Let us go and have a drink first"
NO Rembrandt first. Afterward we
will drown our disappointment"
\ moment later Swift stood in front
Of the picture and Immediately recog-
nized it as genuine Rembrandt. but
he did not forget himself for even a
moment, and, turning to his friend, he
said:
Il see you have not chang{d bit,
old boy You are Just the same bid fool -
Then you don't think this painting
is worth anything"
well ! would not say that The
frame is not bad ana ought to bring
something"
Next forenoon Smart said:
"Wen were the paintings worth any
thing"
What paintings? on. those in Elsi-
more! Oh it was just a trick Of my
friend TO get me up there"
Smart sat long. thinking. when Swift
had gone into his office and he thought
still more when he saw old Vineyard. a
topper with a very fine nose for art. en-
ter Swfts private sanctum.
Then he went out called a taxicab
and drove to a man he knew he could
trust.
Peterson" he said to him. there is
to be an auction at Elsinore and you
Vineyard"
Yes by sight. but he does not know
me"
THAT il just as it ought 10 be. II
YOU see Vineyard at the auction bidding
