s OFFERED For ORIGINAL SUGGESTION
n Lace Frock for the South

Certainly the wardrobe for the South
must include lace froclt. There is such
variety offered just now that 1t Is
hard TO choose.
This morning mamma and went out,
intent on buying one. We had delight
ful time and saw some exquisite models
The one we chose is quite simple in
STYLE but exceedingly pretty. Needless
to say, 1t Is very full as to skirt, uneven
as to hem and high as to waist.
The skirt is cut in tunc style, and the
hem OF both skirt and tunio is finished
with deep hounce Of lace. A heavy line
Of embroidery comes above each flounce.
The design Is floral and worked in heavy
silks.
The little bodice is very simple and girl
ish, and has quite an old-fashloned look
1t is curious how old-fashloned the very
newest styles do lookl This sounds Irish,
but 1t is true, nevertheless.
The sleeves of the frock just reach the
elbow, and finish with a narrow band Of
lace. An underskirt of ivory colored taft
feta is worn.
With this frock / intend to wear a
simple little hat of lace over frame of
taffeta. A tiny bunch of wild roses Is
fastened under the brim at the left side.

A SNOW man once lived in big front

You see he was the centre of big fox

Tho ancient proverb assures us half
contemptuously that Fine Feathers

any suggestion OF contempt attached &c
the eaying is a mystery For every WON

feathers nre becoming to every woman
The trouble is that we cannot all afford
their possession.
Yes. It Is perfectly true that nice
clothes DO make tremendous difference
In a woman's appearance. II she is

and IL she is homely looking, they VIII

looks, the choice of attractive clothes is

don't really depend on our clothes for our
beauty" is their inward thought. And so
they grow untidy and slpshod in their
dress.
Nothing could be more foolish or ILL
advised For large proportion OF peo-
pie are firmly convinced that a homely
woman. we'll dressed and carefully
groomed in every detail of toilette, is in
finitely moro attractive and pleasing to
the eye than a pretty woman badly
dressed and untidy.
The moral effect of pretty clothes upon
their wearer is really remarkable. For
not only do they shed a pleasing effect
on others. but they impart stimulating
effect upon the woman who wears them.
"It is perfectly true that our clothes
do affect us in different ways" said one
rnatron the other day to another. when
was in mourning my black garments
really doubled my sorrows. They filed me
with melancholy thoughts, Every time
was just beginning to forget my troubles,
would catch sight of myself in some
mirror. arrayed in these sombre clothes.
and the day would be darkened for me
again. think the custom OF wearing
black for mourning is dreadful Why on
earth can't we adopt the custom of the
Chinese and wear white instead?"
This view is very sensible one. For
women are by nature moro sensitive than
men. and more easily affected by things
that at first would seem trihing.

BY the way. fine feathers" do not
necessarily mean extravagant or foolish
dressing, as is so often the Interpretation
OF the term. The woman who buys her
clothes extravagantly, indiscrlminately,
and without proper planning will never
be well dressed. For the well-dressed
woman is not the woman who spends a
great deal on clothes. The average
Frenchwoman, for instance, is always
smartly gowned-yet she does not devote
overmuch money to her toilette. She
spends what is more essential than
money and that is time and thought.
Great care is bestowed by her on all the
little accessories that go to the making or
marring of the toilette.
The woman who puts UP a bluff' in
the matter of dress, and out of diminu-
tive income always appears smart and
well gowned, has frequently been CEN

is as poor as the proverblal church
mouse! Why, she must often go actually
hungry in order to put up a good appear

But this putting up OF "bluff" is some
times an excellent policy. Tho woman
who is seeking employment must appear
we'll gowned. Prospective employers are
always favorably impressed by the
smart-Iooking woman. Conversely, the
shabbily clad woman has infinitely less
chance of employment than her better
gowned sister. All honor to the woman
who has sufficient strength of mind and
resource to make good appearance.
however poor she be. She has the true
fighting spirit and is bound to succeed.

INVESTIGATES THE
TIvOLI DISASTER

From the Snow Hill Messenger
The investigation of the Tivoli dis
aster should be most thorough. not
only by the Steamboat Company but
by the United States Government.
The fact that the Maryland was
burned, and that the Tivoli was on
fire once before she was burned, is
sufficient reason for suspecting in
cendiarism. and nothing should be left
undone to ascertain the causes OF
these fires. We are informed that the
steamboat company is now Investigate
ing the Tivoli fire. and that Uncle
Sans representatives are also inves.
tigating on their own hook. One OF
the survivors of the Tivoli fire, a
gentleman from a distant city, was ir
Snow Hill last week searching foi
evidence that will help him to find out
the cause OF the disaster in which hC
had TO throw himself into the Chesa.
peake Bay to save his fife, and in
which he lost all his baggage and
other possessions. He is only one o.
many that have the same feeling.
Let the investigation be thorough
It is due to Captain Howard and his
men. The captain has met with ire
parable loss and nothing that can pos
sibly be done should be left undone {,
ascertain the responsibility for hi
loss.
