.amented with three ball buttons at
the front. They are forms covered
with the silk, and two OF them are
used on the cuffs in the manner shown
in the picture. White ball buttons or
composition are effectively used on
gowns of blue or black taffeta and
might be substituted for those that are
silk-covered, to add snap to this trim
suit.
The neck is much improved by a
collar of white poplin, or one OF organ
die, which rolls over the coat collar
and fulfills its mission of placing white
near the throat and face.
A hat of malines and velvet, with
white satin flowers and small feather
cockade at the front, and a purse OF
dark blue leather, banded with white
are accessories that add tone to a
dress that is distinguished by very
clever designing. 1t seems very sim,
ple but the best of talent Is required
to achieve simplicity and distinction
at the same time.

Barnum's Frankness.

On one occasion Barnum had an
elephant engaged in blowing on the
sloping hill where it could plainly be
seen by the passengers on the New
Haven and Hartford railroad. an agri-
cultural innovation that he knew
would get notice of some sort in every
newspaper in the country.
1t was even said that he received
letters from farmers far and wide
asking how much hay one elephant
ate, and If it were more profitable to
pillow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen.
His replies were invariably frank,
and were of this purport:
IF you have a large museum In
New York, and great railway COM
pany sends trains full Of passengers
within eyeshot of the performance, It
will pay, and pay well; but II you
have no such institution, then horses
or oxen will prove more economical"
