THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. HEWS OF THE" MOLE. ft. NEW WAIST THAT IS MICH AD MIRED. Combinations It Suggcsts-Tallor Oowni The ReHna;ote-Chlltlrea'S Frocks-Vrl-ly In Wlt The Louis XV. style of waist tins many admirers, and Is represented made up In a beautiful combination or blue brocade silk, white satin and white moussellue de sole, with Jeweled passe Menterle over the shoulder straps and on the Jacket fronts, and a belt of dark er blue silk completing the charming ensemble. The closing Of the waist Is made at the centre of the front. The lull fronts are finished at the top to rorm a frillhendlng and the fullness at the bottom Is drawn well to the centre, drooping prettily over the belt. Sty lish Jacket fronts open wide all the way down over the full fronts and are folded back at the top In large three cornered revers that are faced with the white satin. A close ad iustment Is made at the Bidet and back, and revers are form 3d at the back above the centre seam, a full yoke being revealed between the revers. The short "mushroom puff" sleeves are new In style and graceful and becoming In effect, drooping below the shoulders In 1S30 style. The mode suggests combinations, and Louis XV. Waist. s nRhly favored for dressy wear with 1 skirt tha't may match the dominant ihade in the waist or contrast harmonl Dusly with It. Chiffon over silk, velvet with satin, or silk and satin will unite pleasingly, and choice decoration is es sential to the artiste completion of the waist Chaste and delicate for a debu lante will be white faille Bilk, on white shiffon over silk, and the soft, yielding tnousseline de sole over silk of some pale, becoming shade is highly com mended. Every shade of violet remains prop r. A cloud came over the sun of Its, popularity six months ago, but the tzar's visit to Paris reinstated the col jr. It may havo been the Czarina's favorite llower, or, whatever the rea son, the violettes du Tzar are the Idol 3f the moment. Europe has collapsed into lunacy over tlicni. Why one ihould associate violets with the Rus sian Emperor is not known. It my be lor the Bamn reason that the corn flow ;r was the complimentary color to the DldKaiser Wilhelm. Tailor gowns of Mack cloth, with aright colored cloth boleros braided so slosely with black that the color just shows throuph, are popular this season ind red Is the favorite shade. Walk ing gloves of cloth mado with a coat nd skirt to match are the latest fash ens in Paris. And one novel example in blue cloth with a loone sacque :oat, cut short and romulod under the iruis somewhat in the style of a bole o, giving it the appearance of stole ;nds back and front. Two square tabs ro cut on at each shoulder to fall ov ;r the sleeves, and the fronts are lined with chinchilla, which gives the effect sf revers when the coat la open. All ;he edges are handsomely braided with alack, and the skirt of the gown is cut n rcallops on the bottom to show a plaiting of red silk, and each one Is Draidcd. Right beside the brief little Jackets A Winter Jacket. ' Khat we were but just assured would De the only sort of wrap this winter, ippears the long close-fitting redlngote. It Is undoubtedly an ideal wrap for cold weather, being usually lined with fur or quilted silk. One seen recently was of vlgogue cloth, in color a dark shade Df prune, and lined with quilted gray lining silk. It was ground length, and iouble. breasted, with wide revers, small cape, and standing collar, all ol chinchilla. The sleeve were wide ann long with a narrow band of chinchilla Inside the wrists. A large muff of th same fur, with a bunch of violets at one aide, gave the finishing touch. Ther prominent colors for evening wear are cherry pink, rose, gold, tur quoise, sky blue, brilliant green, gold en tan, pearl, cream and deep red. Children's frocks are this season par ticularly smart and attractive. More attention has been paid to the cut and the hanging of the skirts than ever, And the rep'ilts are most satisfactory, A pretty style for girls from 8 to 15 years of age one of Edward A Morris Jon's models Is made of black and gray-blue novelty gooda. The skirt is gored, and hangs to perfection, and la trimmed with two rows of black gal loon. The waist Is made with blouse front of figured chine taffeta, and a short Turkish Jacket. A deeper touch of color Is given by collar, waistband, and purfs at the wrist of old blue vel vet. The galloon Is also used to trim the waist, and is put on over the vol-! vet. Varieties In waists, which are stylish with the inevitable black silk skirt which renrly every woman possesses, is the ono thing needful Just at pres ent, and oii9 very novel design Is a full hodico of cream lnoe, spotted with sil ver and Jet spangles, made on white .:iU, and over this is a bib front and l):;ck of black satin, cut somewhat like a child's apron, edged around with Jet, and laced together under the arms with black satin ribbon. Velvet bodices in light colors are pretty for those who can affrd them; but very little velvet can be made to answer the purpose, since the fronts are UBitnlly of laco or chiffon over Bilk. A plain black and bolero front of velvet Is pretty with either velvet or lace sleeves, which have a velvet puff at the top, and a col lar band of gold and Jeweled embroid ery, with a frill of whlto satin ribbon Inside, Is a pretty finish. The ribbon Is two nnd a half or three Inches wide, arranged very nnrrow in front, plaited wide and full at the back, so that it falls over in shells, with the lace gath ered inRlde. Waists which harmonize with tho skirt rather than contrast with it are the rule this season, and, while two or three colors are often combined In one bodice, tho predomi nating tint must either match tho skirt or show a lighter or darker shade of the same color. A Mnn Modlnte'i Wisdom. A man modiste has at last supplied the bit of wisdom which it seems to have been impossible for women to ar rive at unaided. Women who are not able to have a separate gown for every conceivable occasion usually make a desperate failure in attempting to make half a dozen gowns tit fifty oc casions. The art of adaptation is not theirs. Here, however, are the pearls of wis dom which the celebrated man dross maker has advanced: "Buy only what you need. Make every garment serve a definite end. Do not try to make a tailor-made gown do for small dinners, with the addition of a silk waist. Have no hybrid dresses. Let them Btand for whnt they are. Have as few as you can at a time, and wear each well out Do not harbor old things about the house. Do not Bave your clothes. Get the use of them while they are in style. Huy fewer things but have them good. Eschew tho meretricious cheap!" All of which is very practical and true and quite sure not to bo followed In the slightest degree by nine-tenths of the women who read it. New York World. How Fori Will be Worn. This season one has a fine opportun ity of using advantageously all the furs new and old, in one's wardrobe, for the fashion of combining two kinds of fur on oue garment, added to the tact that many furs formerly out of style are ugnin in high favor, mnkc3 it an easy matter for the maid who has kept these valuable accessories of winter toilet in seme place where moths did not cor rupt. These may be gathered together, sent to a fashionable furrier and re turned completely metamorphosed into wraps both beautiful and useful. Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, seal skin and moufflon, which is light gray In color, are the most fashionable furs, but all the cheaper varieties Beeru to have their uses. Chinchilla is com bined with seal this season and short capea of sable are used over longer ones of seal. The fur boleros will be a use ful fashion for those who havo a small amount of fur to be transformed Into a fashionable garment. These are very becoming to slight figures niia very stylish with wide revers. Tho new fur coats are rather short, not so full in the basque ns they were last season, and havo loose fronts. t Washing- Fine I'mlen-lothlng. Use one pound of dissolved soap In four gallons of warm water, in which well rine the articles to be washed, drawing them repeatedly through the hand; wring them as dry as possible to remove the soap; rinse them again briskly in clean lukewarm water; whing and stretch them to their prop er shape, and dry in the open air it possible. Tho only effects of rubbing are to shrink and destroy the material; It should therefore never be resorted to. The material used in manufactur ing silk underwear being an animal product, it Ij absolutely necessary that m-thing but the best quality of soap and warm water should bo used. All kinds of washing compounds destroy the naturo of the material, giving to the rabrlc tuo appearance of poor cot ton. Jill!!::, ry. The last whl.

Linen and denim, whether embroid ered or in white colors, do not need any stare''; they should be ironed when damp, and then will be sufficient ly stiff. Wash them in lukewarm suds, rinse carefully and hang them where they will dry quickly, but not where th5 sun will pour down on them. Do not ubo hot water, especially when colored silks or linens have been used, and hasten the laundering as much as possible. A NOVEL TJNIOIT. An American llelle to Wed Tarklih lHplomet. According to the New York Herald, the engagement has been announced In New York and Paris of Miss Edith Lyman Collins, only daughter of Mr. Clarence Lyman Collins, of New York' city, to Hechld Hey, Count Czaykowski,' Councillor of State of tho Turkish Em- bassy at Home. This alliance Is looked upon as most brilliant. Miss Collins, whose engagement to her guardian, Mr. Chauncey M. Dopew, was rumored without authority, Is de scended from a long lino of distinguish ed American ancestors, among whom, on her father's side, were two Colonial Governors Governor William Brad ford, of Massachusetts, nnd Governor William Leete, of Connecticut. On her mother's side Miss Collins Is a great granddaughter of Commodore Vander bllt. Count Czaykowski, who Is looked up on as one of the most brilliant diplo mats in Europe, Is highly esteemed by Miss Edith Collins, the Sultan and Is one Of his advisors. He was, until quite recently, First Sec retary of the Turkish Embassy at St. Petersburg, where a year ago he met Miss Collins, who was there on a visit, at tho special invitation of tho dow ager Empress ot Russia, to take charge of a booth at a great bazaar for char ity. Her fiance is only twenty-nine years of age, and has a handsome for tune. The father of Count Czaykowski, a man of great power In Turkey, comes of a noble Polish family who were ex iled during the great insurrection and have since lived in Turkey. The young diplomat was in especial ly high favor with the present Emperor of Ilussia, nnd previous to his promo tion in diplomacy he was entertained at dinner so frequently at the imperial palace that at the time he was the most talked of man in Russia outside of the Imperial family. Miss Collins iuherltled a handsome fortune from her mother, who died a few years ago, which was largely in creased on the death of her grandmoth er, Mrs. Robert Niven, which occurred in Paris last June. Miss-Collins has, besides her beauty and wealth, many accomplishments. She is versed In French, Italian, German and Russian, and is an artist of no small merit. Count Czaykowskl's attentions to Miss Collins from the time of their first meeting hnve been most marked, and ho has been received most cordi ally by her relatives In Paris, and by her father, who was with Miss Collins In Russia at the tiuio of her first meet ing with her fiance. In all probability tho wedding 'will be celebrated In Paris during the lat ter part of January. Mr. Collins will sail early in the new year to be pres ent at the wedding. For Slender Wnmeu. Columns of conflicting advice have been written from time to time for the benefit of women who wish to get thin, and, as it is not enough for the woman who desires to put on a little extra flesh to draw her conclusions from the reverse sido of the lleshy woman's in structions, she is coming in for a good ly share of counsel, too, which Is all excellent in a way, but the regime of exercise and diet which is advised for perfect development from the standard at too much or too little flesh Is usu ally an absorbing process which leaves very little time for other things, and the average woman soon wearies of it If she has the courage to attempt it at all. The simple recipe, "Eat vegetables and plenty of butter, drink milk, sweet -lne and Btout, take cod-liver oil, go to bed early, sleep a little during each Jay, and laugh as much as possible,' will often help the thin woman Im mensely. Cream may be substituted for the cod-llver oil, if preferred. Slet-plcamicia. A Swedish sei vanl-niald, finding that tier mistress was troubled with sleep lessness, told her of a practice of the people of her country who were simi larly afflicted. It w;'s to take a nap kin, dip it in Ice-cold water, wring it jlightly and ley it across her eyes, The plan wan follor.ed, and it worked like a charm. The Prat night the lady ilept tour hours without awaking something sho hid not done for sever al months. At the cud of that time ;he napkin had become dry. By wet ting it again she at once went to sleep, audit required conrblerable force to arouse her In the morning. Fotted Haul. After a ham is nearly eaten there remains a good deal that is not nice Biiough for table. Cut this off; chop fine as powder; put a layer of ham in jar, sprinkle pepper, cloves and vluo gar over it, then a layer of ham, and bo on until tho Jar is nearly full; finish with spices, and cover with vlneear an inch In depth; let stand two or three days. It is delicious for tea or lunch eon. Cold meat -may be prepared the same way, and is economical, as well as very nice. Ainelhynts. Amethysts are becoming very pop ular. Many women in old days had necklaces ot amethyst beads, and these heirlooms will doubtless be brought forth lor the decking of their daugh tors. The stone is said to fade with the waning health of its wearer or to deepen In brilliancy with her good lortune. It is the jewel above all oth ers fcr blonde and red-haired women COUNCIL PEOOE CLINGS. The Regular Monthly Mooting Hold on Thursday Night. The President ami all the members were present.

Referred to the com mittee for consideration. Robert Buckingham, attorney for Dr. J. R. Evans, appeared and made a proposition, that if the Town pay the Doctor $1772.25, the suit for damages will be withdrawn on account of the opening of Jefferson street. (The viewers had awarded the Doctor $315 damages.) On motion of Gorrey and Brobst the matter was referred to the Finance Committee. The Fire Committee reported the arrival of the new hose truck, and that it was in the hose house ready for use. Mr. Kocher of the Finance Com mittee reported that T. L. Gunton offers to donate his strip of ground along Jefferson street if Town or some one wiTl put down a pavement of stone. And that W. H. Yetter agrees to pay the Town $200 benefits by reason of opening said street (Mr. Yetter had been assessed by viewers $400 benefits.) Upon motion ot Gorrey and Brobst Yetter's pioposi- tion was - accepted. The Finance Committee also reported that Mr. Demaree renewed his offer as made before in reference to Scott alley at the Fair Ground, and they suggest that the $100 part of the proposition be accepted. Refered to committee for further consideration. Mr. Kocher reported against a light at Sixth and Jefferson streets, as it was resolved by Council at a previous meeting that no new lights be put up at present. Complaint was entered by E. M.

Coles, of Kingston, Pa., in his weather predictions in Storms and Signs gives the following "Words of Warning'' for this month : The Atlantic coast will be storm swept. Pestilence and famine will sweep thousands away to death in the Old Country. ' The eastern and middle states will be storm swept this month unless the electrical currents ground and give us an earthquake instead. 1 he fever cpulenuce will still con tinue and increase in virulence. Two new forms of disease microbes will make their appearance, the blood tappers and the flesh eaters. The bloodtappcrs will get into the throat or stomach and tap the blood veins, causing hemorrhage. And the flesh eaters will consume the flesh. They will attack both man and beast. Some beautiful sunsets will occur between the 5th and 20th. Another meteor is headed toward the earth and will cause an earth shock or quake wherever it happens to fall, on the land or on the sea. The moon will be close to the bright shining star Venus on the 6th inst j close to red warrior Mars on the 14, and very near the big planet Jupiter on the 21st Watch for these interesting exhibitions. Let those troubled with heart dis ease or in a run clown condition avoid all over exertion or exposure on the nth and 15th cf this month. A Dew Counterfeit. The secret service division of the treasury department reports the dis covery of a new counterfeit $ 1 o nation al bank note. It is a photographic reproduction of a note issued by the Union National bank, of Detroit, Mich., letter B, series of 1883, signed by W. S. Rosencrans, register, and C. M. Jordan, treasurer. Chief Hazen, of the service, says it is the product of the same hand as a counterfeit note recently discovered of the National bank of Commerce, New York. President elect McKinley has almost completed the first draft of his inau gural address. Chairman Hanna was kept very busy warding off eager place hunters and thus enabled the major to vork at his leisure in the chair man's Cleveland office. No Cripe When you hike flood's rills.
