You can't begin too early to train girls in taste and sense upon the sub- ject of dress, The woman who dresses her little Jaughter expensive. ly, who even goes without proper clo- thing herself to deck her gir! in dain- ty, fresh, fashionable garb, does great wrong to herself and to her child. The fitness of things is reversed when the mother denies herself what is dune her to give her child what she does not need. Under such circumstances fine dress is positively harmful to a girl, If any one in the family is to be dressed in fashion and elegance it should be the mother. Simplicity is absolutely necessary for good taste In all that relates to children.

LIVELY MRS. ANTHONY. People never tire of reading stories of dear old Susan B. Anthony. Here is one told by Catherine Waugh Me: Culloch, of Chicago: “last when Miss (iross on summer, Anthony was visiting Mrs, the Lake Shore drive, she sent for a friend to come to her and talk over the Illinois suffrage work. When they were through Miss Anthony said: “If will a moment I will ride way with you.' you wait part the home They started to catch a State street car, but found noue. Miss Anthony then said: ‘If mind the walk we will go on to Clark street and get a north bound there, instead of walting.' they walked briskly on Division on Lake Shore Drive, to Misa Anthony not intl mating any inabality on her part. Then they rode to the Limits Station, M ‘I must you car.’ woman said she was but Miss Anthony waited, il her charge was Car, still the of you don't car So street the Clark gireet, Anthony said gee ise 1 vy on your north-bound “Th all right, standing younger placed walted, Young when on the prog and whether thing : i. and finally, car had aved her adieus Wn Car watching started tender too young to er forty year WOMAN al of he shops O.

These are extremely s sar. when well made, and are really becom- ing, most unusual as that is for a short skirt. To be correct these skirts must fit closer than ever over the hips, whether made in box-pleats, side pleats, or without any pleats at all. and there must always be flare around the foot. In spite of the close-fitting effect, they must be wide enough to allow the wearer to walk with perfect comfort. The velveteen short skirts, with three-quarter coats to match, are the smartest of any. Next come the corduroys, and now are appearing the light-colored cloths which will be worn all through the spring. It Is said, and on good au. thority, that every influence will be exerted this spring in favor of tha walking gowns. —Harper's Bazar. — WAIST TRIMMINGS. The trick of trimming the waist for the back view is much noticed upon the evening waists. Many of these are positively elaborate, even fussy, in the flouncings and ruffiings that fall from the neck and from the yoke, There is a back that fs liked by those who enjoy the French waist. It begins to start with the belt, with a very wide liberty satin ribbon which is hooked in the back under a very ornate buckle. The belt in the back is very, very wide and would suggest an empire were it not for the fact that it dips upon the sides and is pulled low in front. At the back of this fancy French walst there is a little bolero, put on the back only, for it comes only from the armpits. Then there is a little pufing of chiffon which falls below the bolero and over the belt all the way around; and finally, to finish at the neck, there is a yoke of lace with a deep lace ruffle. The stock Is, of course, necessary, but it is a thing that is put on afterward and which can be varied —Pittsburg Press. that she has ordered sent to her, The losa to the shops in this one | i i i the outsider.

Keep your velvets thoroughly clean and free from dust, using for this pur pose a soft brush; then steam them holding them over a hot flatiron. This will remove creases.

A fishery which has been carried on for half a century along the Gulf coast of Louisiana, altogether unnoticed and known only to the fishermen them i selves, has suddenly acquired great importance owing to the discovery that the things caught are either the famous diamond-backed terrapin of Maryland or their first cousins. All along the Gulf Coast are small sea terrapin, They are found on the shore in the summer, but in winter they crawl up into the swamp and bury themselves in mudholes. They vary in size, but the majority are small-—-about as big as a Maryland i diamond-back, The fishermen have been cating | them for half a century, but have kept | them for their own use, belleving that they were too small to of any value in the city market, where the | large green turtle of the West Indies | is the favorite. be diamond-back terrapin in their lives Those persons who have gone down | among the fishermen to enjoy reported that they fared | was attributed to the fact, that of them, being | were natural | A party of New Creoles or born cooks, Yorkers | fishing in St. Bernard a few days of the ago {| and stopped over at one on Lake Borgne, at of the | that the ¥ Wa were so one dishes set before wanted to know just were eating An ex of BoA the terrapin amination terrapin showed mond-back They basket of these carried home a sea terrapin and. liked i more, The | terrapin been eating {« news leaked out the fishermen BOON which have yr half a century be could them were most valuable catch.

One morning after the hand organs got hold of his “Washington Post March,” John Philip Sousa ran across an Irishmaan playing the march at a dirkedike pace, which set his teeth on edge. Snatching the handle of the organ away from him, Sousa exclaim. ed angrily: “My heavens, man! Why don’t you play it with a little anergy? There's nobody dead on this block!” The Irishman stood by, openeyed with wonder, as Sousa dashed through the measures of the march at a rattling pace. “And who are you, anyhow.” he exclaimed at length, “I am Mr. Sousa,” exclaimed the bandmaster. “I composed that march. Don't mind my giving you a friendly pointer.” The Irishman retired with his fea. i i i i | i PENNSYLVANIA BRIEFLY TOLD. Special Dispatches Boiled Down for Quick Reading. PATENTS AND PENSIONS GRANTED.
