' THINK blm the yery embodi
ment of chivalry nnd gallantry,"
said Ethel Hunt, enthusiast!
cnlly. "Humph!" snld Aunt Sarn, "I've
tienrd girls talk bo before. And It gen
erally ended In one thins."
"For shame, Aunt Sarah!" cried
Ethel, coloring up to her eyelashes. "I
only mean, of course, that he Is a very
agreeable companion."
Now this Auut Snra of our little
Bthel wna no spectacled spinsTer of
an uncertain age, nor portly, pillow
shaped widow, with the photograph of
her dear departed husband worn, locket-shaped,
upon her bosom but a pret
ty young woman of four or llvo-nud-twenty,
with bright blue eyes and. hair
all streaked with golden gleams, who
was engaged In the congenial occupa
tion of making up her wedding clothes.
"Tho disagreeable fellow," thought
'Aunt Sara. "He has somehow board
.that Ethel has money, and ho Is deter
mined to win It. If she could only see
him In his true light; but I know what
a perverse thing a woman's heart Is.
Just as sure as I attempted to tell her
what ho really Is, she'll make up her
mind' that bo Is the finest nud least
appceiatcd personage on the face of
tho earth. And I did so want her to
keep her heart whole until Everard
Grafton comes to bo Charles' grooms
man! Everard Grafton Is worthy of
& princess!"
And MIhs Sara Martell sat and sewed
away In absorbed silence, without
speaking n word for the unprecedented
period of fifteen minutes,
i "They sny ho Is perfectly intolerable
at home," she said to herself. "Clara
iWnters was there once nud hoard him
rating his sisters fearfully because the
beefsteak for his lute breakfast was a
little overdone. If L could only manage
that Ethel could see him Jn his true
light."
She sat nnd thought a while longer
and suddenly tho color bloomed Into
her cheek, the dimples into her chin.
She started up.
"Ethel," she said, "I'm sure you must
1)8 tired of sitting over that everlasting
stitching. I've got to go over to Susy
Morand's to borrow a pattern; it will
be Just a pleasant walk for us."
: "To Miss Morand's?" Ethel was
.vexed with herself, but sho could not
help tho telltale blood thnt surged Into
her cheeks. "Isn't It rather early?
Only 0 o'clock!"
"Early? Not a bit! Susy and I are
BO intimate, we don't mind curl papers
and calico wrappers. Get your hat
and come along quick!"
But In spite of her cxbortatlous to
speed Sara Martell smiled to herself
to perceive that Ethel Hunt lingered
long enough in her own room to put a
finishing touch to her costume.
"Sho thinks wo skull seo Julian Mo
rand," she thought to herself. "Well,
perhaps we shall. I am putting my
self entirely Into the hands of luck
and chance."
But whell they reached tho Mornnd
mansion, instead of ringing formally
at the frout door, Miss Martell went
around to the back porch, a pretty lit
tle entrance, all shaded with honey
Buckles and trumpet vines.
"I always go In here," said she, non
chalantly, in reply to Ethel's remon
strating glunce. "Sue Morand and I
are Just llko sisters."
Sue Mornnd, a blooming girl of eigh
teen, was In the kitchen, making pies.
"The pattern? Of course, you Bhnll
have It!" she cried. "Just wait a min
ute until 1 get it."
"I'll go with you," snld Sara. "Ethel,
you'll not mind waiting for us here?"
"Not In tho least," said Ethel. And
sho sat down by the window, where
Ivies, trained in bottles of water, were
creeping like green Jewels across tho
crystal panes of glass.
"Suel Sue!" Sho started as the voice
Of her preus chevalier of tho evculug
before camo roaring down tho back
stairs. "Confound you all down there,
why aren't my boots blacked? Sael
Mother! Nell! Wbut's become of my
breakfast? You must think a man has
nothing to do but to lie here and wult
all day for you' lazy folks to stir
around"
There was no reply as lie puuscd,
apparently expecting some one. "Moth
er" was down in tho garden Under a
big green sunbonaet, gathering scarlet-cheeked
tomatoes for dinner; "Nell"
wus In the frout yard picking red
veined autumn leaves out of the gold
and russet drifts that lay like treas
ures of precious stones upon tho grass.
Sue wag shut up among tbo myste
ries of "patterns" Innumerable, with
Miss Sara Martell. Ethel Hunt sat
coloring and half frightened, the sole
audltrcss of Mr. Morand's objurga
tions. '
. "I know there's some ono down
there!' lie shouted. "I can hear yot
breathe and your dress rustle. Jusi
llko your ugliness not to nnswer n fel
low! Do you hear, Sue? Black mj
boots, quick! I'm waiting for them!"
And "bang! bang!" came the useful
articles of wear In question down tin
winding stairway that led Into the
kitchen.
Toor little Ethel! Sho half rose up,
then sat down again, plteously undo
elded what to do and even while Flic
hesitated, with color varying llko ths
red nnd white of the American ling in
a high wind, the door at the foot of
the stairs flew open nnd In stalked Mr,
Julian Mornnd, sallow and disheveled,
with unkempt hair and beard, fright
fully curved mouth and a most unbe
coming costume of n soiled Turkish
diesslug gown, faded nether garments
atid stockinged feet, thrust Into dirty
red morocco slippers.
'I say you!" ho snarled out; "why
don't you "
And then, perceiving to whom he
was actually addressing himself, he
started bnck, turning fiery red.
"Miss Hunt!"
And with a downward glance at his
toilet he fairly turned nnd fled, tho
skirts of his Turkish dressing gown
floating like red nnd orange meteors
behind him. And, mortified and terri
fied though she wns, Ethel limit could
not resist the temptation to breuk Into
a penl of hearty laughter.
This, then, was her Ideal among men,
hor gallant cavalier, her "Sir Launee
lot" of fancied perfection, snarling at
his mother and sister like an Ill-conditioned
bear, flinging old boots down
the stairs at them, tumbling out cf bed
at 0 o'clock In the morning, while bis
mother split kindlings nnd picked to
matoes out In the vegetable garden!
Llko some Chinese Idol, so fell Mr.
Julian Morand off his high pedestal in
the estimation of Miss Ethel Hunt.
She told It nil to Sara Martell when
they were snfe nt homo.
'Aunt Sara." snld she, "I am thor
oughly disenchanted.''
Miss Martell shrugged her shoulders
and mentally thanked her lucky stars.
"I could have told you as much be
fore," said she. "These Adonises are
like cheap calico they will neither
wash nor wear! Wait until Everard
Grafton comes."
"And who is Everard Grafton?"
"The nicest young fellow in the
world after my betrothed husband."
AVhcn Mr. Grafton camo be so far
Justified Aunt Sara's encomiums that
Ethel really did like him. And Aunt
Sarn was willing to leave the rest to
fate. New York News.

HISTORY OF JOURNALISM
VALUABLE WORK COMPILED IN THE
CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
The Newspapers Trrateil Are Arranged
by States Tlia Intlrs Work fills
More Than Two 1 uonsaml aai-s of
lrlntfJrowth nf Anmrlean Periodicals
ltnlpli M. McKenzle, of the periodical
department of the Library of Congress,
has compiled a book containing a brief
history of American Journnllsni. The
newspapers treated are arranged by
States, nnd include those long since
dead as well as the living. In every
Instance the name of the founder Is
given, and such other facts us will
nnswer the questions which naturally
suggest themselves concerning n news
paper's history. The entire work, It Is
estimated, will till more thnn 'JOOO
pages of print. It has taken about
three years to prepare, aud another
six months will probably be consumed
In putting it through the press. The
compilation was a huge task. Involving
a search through State histories, county
histories, biographies, gazetteers, direc
tories, occasional addresses, pamphlets
ot all sorts, and the files of newspapers,
from the enrllest American date down
to tho present time. Mr. McKenzle
will Introduce the book with a chapter
discussing American Journalism and
periodical literature In a general wny.
"When it is remembered," said he to
a visitor the other day, "that a thou
sand periodicals become extinct In this
country every year, und that, nearly
'2,0(iO were Issued in the year litoo,
you will understand something of the
task which I have Just finished. The
first newspaper was printed In Amer
ica in 1704, nnd I have gone over the
field for the whole three centuries
since that date."
"What fact Impressed you most ns
the result of your investigation?" he
was iiHked.
"I suppose I was most struck by a
comparative study of tho circulation
of the periodicals In this country nnd'
in Europe. As early as 1830 the United
States with a population of less than
13,000,000, published more periodicals
than Europe, with a population of
000,000. In this comparison, you un
derstand, 1 am including newspapers
under tho general head ot periodicals.
Fifty years later America published
GOO more periodicals than Europe, nnd
each decennial census has found us
still far In the lend. The most notable
Increase of periodicals in this com' try
came between 1S70 and 18M), wht!
the number was almost doubled, run
ning from 07S1 to 11,::14.
"The ten years between is:i0 nnd
3S10," continued .Mr. McKenzle, 'may
be distinguished In periodical liistory
for lis Innovations. During that period
James Gordon Bennett Introduced reg
ular market and financial letters into
tlie news columns of the New York
Herald, and collected the local news,
sensational iiud otherwise, to place
side by side with the foreign budget,
which till then bud filled the choicest
space iu the American newspaper. It
was Bennett who evolved the idea of
giving u complete history of the events
of each day throughout the, world In
the press of this country.
"The increase iu periodicals Is most
marked at too lurgc publication cen
tres like New York, Boston, Philadel
phia and Chicago. Tho greatest per
centage of increase between decades
belongs to the Northwestern States,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa,
aud Illinois. Minnesota, for iustnuce,
doubled Its output between 1SHO and
1S70, and In 1SS0 published nearly two
aud a half times us many as in 1870.
iKdoubled its product again between
1880 and 1800, and so did Illinois, while
Iowa made nearly as good a record.
All this was accomplished without
letting the newcomers In the field de
stroy the circulation of those who bad
preceded them. In Minnesota, which
shows the most rapid development of
any State, the increase of circulation
between 1880 and 1800 was more than
4!)0 per, cent., nnd there are many In
stances of yoo and 300 per cent. In
creases In ten years iu other States."

ing table to illustrate the growth of
American periodicals;

When asked what class of periodicals
had made the most remarkable growth,
Mr. McKenzle answered that no satis
factory answer could be given to that
question because It was Impossible to
draw lines between groups which none
could be sure of remaining for any
leugth of time as drawn. "Classifica
tion," said he, "gets to be more difficult
every year us the periodicals become
more specialized. What la classified
ono yeur under the general term 'agri
cultural may the next yeur be placed
under 'sports,' or 'horticultural,' or 'bee
ralslug,' or 'turf,' or 'poultry-farming.'
What in 1S70 is covered by tho geuerul
term 'sports,' in 1800 is specialized into
'held and track,' 'fishing and hunting,
'football,' 'the ring,' 'bicycling,' 'rac
ing,' etc. The trade und technical Jour
nals of the country have In the lust
ten years become highly specialized,
so that It requires a hundred or more
'headings' under which to arrange
them."
In the preface already mentioned,
Mr. McKenzio has given the history
of the print lug-press, of stereotyping,
of the telegraph iu its relation to the
newspaper business, of lithography, of
paper-mills, and of copyright. He gives
u list of the oldest newspapers iu the
country with the date of the establish
ment of each, ami a Jlst of periodicals
published In foreign languages, from
which It appears that the Italians have
thirty-live, the Norwelgans sixty-seven,
the Poles thlrty-niue, the Swedes sixty
four, the Germans U51, and the French
forty-nine. Ho also discusses agricul
tural, religious, college and educa
tional, luwv and sporting Journals.
One most entertaining bit of history
In the body of the work Is told uuder
the heading "Iowa," nud describes the
wanderings of the old press on which
wwtu printed the first newspapers ever
I Usued lu smithy tstutea lu the North
west. The first newspaper In Iowa
wns the Visitor, established nt Du
buque on May 11, 18:10. by John King.
Its name wns changed to the Iowa
News, nnd the press which printed It
was, removed to Lancaster, . Wis., In,
1S12, where Uie Grant County Herald .
wns established, tho first newspaper In !
that State. The press nnd material i
were moved ngaln In 1810 to HI. Paul '
by ox-team, and John Goodhue used
them lu getting out the first Issue of
the first newspaper published In Min
nesota, the St. Paul Pioneer. In IS.'S
the old press wns taken to Sloux City
Falls, now Sioux Falls, where It was
used for the printing of the Dacntnh
Democrat, the first newspaper in either
of the Dakotas. The press was burned
by the Indians In the uprising of 18ii2.
Mr. McKenzle has thrown special
enthusiasm into his work, duo to the
fact that he Is himself a Journalist. He
served his apprenticeship In Sf. Paul,
nnd afterward was employed ns a
special writer on some of the lending
dallies of Chlcngo. Then he came
East, and early in 1S0S was appointed
to his present position In the Library

Dollar C i j i.mnii 100 Years Ago.
Something loss than 100 years ago
the United States paid $15,000,01)0 to
France for about S(J4,0DO square miles
lying west of tho Mississippi Illver,
which wns somewhat lu excess of the
area of the territory embraced In the
original United States of America,
About 100,000 people were scattered
about this area, which extended from
the Gulf of Mexico lo the Canadian
border on the north nnd the Pacific
Ocean on the west. Out of this area
there have been created, In whole or In
part, sixteen States and Territories,
viz.: Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa. Minnesota,
the two Dakotas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana
and Indian Territory. This Is about
one-third the urea of the United States.
Was the purchase a wise and profit
able one? A few figures will answer
the question. In loot) the population
had grown to over 14,700,01)0. The dis
trict produced that year 2C.1.0IKU00
bushels of wheat. The corn product
was nearly one-half that of the entire
country and the oat crop about thirty
eight per cent. The leading agricultu
ral products. Including wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye, bay, potntoos and
cotton were valued at 7.",000,00().
The wool product nlone was equal to
the entire first cost of the territory.
Tin value of the farm animals was
over $820,000,000. Included In mineral
products were $27.0(10,001) of gold. 8."'0.

A revelation of the inter Inadequacy
of the feminine vocabulary to express
deep emotion was given (o a crowd
wailing for cars ut the bridge end the
other night. As a Fulton street car
came around the curve nnd halted the
usual mad rush for seats followed.
After the cur was crowded to the rail
ing an elderly woman, large of person
and heavily laden with bundles,
emerged from the crowd. She was
red lu tho face nud pulling with her
exertions as she hastened toward the
ear, waving her buudles vigorously
to attract the attention of the con
ductor, and omitting short, sharp
shrieks Intended to signify that she
desired the car to wait for her.
But the conductor stolidly pulled tho
cord, aud Just as the weary woinan
reached the steps the car moved away.
On the platform the conductor stood
with folded arms aud smiled calmly
back at her.
For a moment she stood gasping with
rage. Tlieu she waved nil her buudles
viciously in the direction of the rapidly
retreating cur, und shouted at the of

' New York City. The novelty of the
Reason Is undoubtedly the shirt waist
with pleats that run lo or over the
shoulders. The smart May Munton
example Illustrated combines that
fenturo with tho new deep pointed
cuffs and slock und Is suited to all the
season's walstiugs, nindras, Oxfords,
pique, chambrays, linen, batistes, silks,
light weight flannels, albatross and the
like, but in the original Is of silk chnm
bray lu pale blue, stitched with white,
and is held by white pearl buttons.
The Ctted lining extends to the waist
line only, but forms tho foundation on
which tho waist Is arranged. The
fronts nnd buck of the waist proper are
laid In two pleats at each side, which
meet at the shoulder seams. The
fronts include the regulation box pleat
and are gathered at the belt or left
free nnd adjusted to the figure as pre
fsnir.T waist.

and without fulness. When the plain
back Is substituted It is drawn down
lu gathers ut the waist line. Orna
mental stitching, simulating pointed
bands, Is shown on the frouts. The
sleeves nre In shirt style, but with deep
pointed cuffs that lap over nnd nre but
toned ot the outside. At the neck Is a
novel pointed stock that matches the
cuffs.

en-eighth yards twenty-seven Inches
wide, three yards thirty-two Inches
wide or two and one-eighth yards forty-four
inches wide will be required.
Woman's Bolero Waist.
The bolero waist Is a marked favor
ite of fashion, nnd Is shown In many
of the advance styles. The smart May
Mar. ton model shown iu tho large
drawing Is admirable in ninny ways,
nnd is adapted to a variety of mate
rials. Tho bolero, having no collar,
makes It peculiarly desirable or wear
beneath a wrap, while at the same
tlmo It gives sufficient of the Jacket
suggestion to be suited to street cos
tumes designed for spring. As shown
it makes part ot a costume of sntin
fuced cloth lu sago green, with the full
wulst of Liberty satin lu a lighter
shade of the same color, the trimming
being folds of the satin, cross-stitched
on with black cortleelli silk, aud at the
ends by Jeweled buttons.
Tho fitted lining closes nt the centre
front. On it are arranged tlfo wulst
nud the bolero, so thnt both are made
In one. The full front aud back of the
waist ure fucked to yoko depth then
left free to take soft folds, tho closing
being effected at tbo left frout. where
an opening is cut from the shoulder to
waist Hue. The Jacket is fitted by
means of shoulder nnd under-arm
seams only, nnd is cut away at the
neck to reveal tho chemisette. The
sleeves are novel, while In bishop
nt the upper edgo which render them
shape they Include deep cutis, pointed
exceptionally becoming. At the neck
is a regulation stock that closes Invisi
bly ot the centre back..
To cut this waist for a woman of
medium size two and one-eighth yards
of material twenty-one inches wide,
ouo nnd three-quarter yards tweuty
seven Inches wide, or one and three
eighth yards forty-four Inches wide
will bo required for the waist; two
oud a half yards twenty-one inches
wide, one and seven-eighth yards

The blending of colors which can bo

medallions of white panne Is one oC
the prettiest modes of the season. Butt
tons form an Important item in both)
the trimming nf both wraps and
gowns. Buttons covered with silk-,
velvet and lace, both plain nnd em
broldercd, are the smnrtest of these
ornamental and soCiVtimcs useful ch
vices. ,'
Tiny Jet For I.alllce Centres.
Tho evening gown of black lace ot
dotted Brussels net is treated wlthi
paneling of embroidery. The panels
are of white satin veiled with Chan
t illy lace medallions. Although the
medallions nre not largo In size they,
ore enhanced by edges of baby vel-
vet ribbon applied In three rows. At
Intervals here and there the ribbons
are Joined with small Jet ornaments,
"paillettes," which make lattices ot
the delicate structure. This adds t
the beauty of the laco ovals used in,
paneling the skirt.
A Stylish Waist. -
A stylish waist lu light blue pressed;
velvet relies on Its button fastening
for a smart effect. Tho buttons ore
tiny round affairs of light pink, each!
studded with n small brilliant. They,
are set on cither side ot the opening;
so close together that they uluiost;
touch, and nre fastened one over the
other with small loops of white slllt
cord.

An attractive petticoat In a plain color
bus a deep flounce In plaid silk and
lace. There nre perpendlculnr stripes
alternating, lace nud silk, the lace of
a deep cream and the plaid showing
several colors In deep shndes. Tho
effect is of stripes of two or two and
a half inches of the plaid and the same
of the luce. It is a very attractive
skirt.
CnffS on Lawn Shirt Waists.
Many of the white lawn shirt waists
nre finished with wide cuffs tnnde ot
alternating rows of insertion and lace,
with a narrow ruffle of lace at the end
nnd coming over one side of the open
ing. The cuffs fasten with three pearl
buttoua concealed by the lace ruffle.
Fancy Foliage on tho ITaU.
Gold and sliver tissue Is now used
to make foliage of the most fancy
variety, aud if fruit effects, such as
tiny berries, giapes and currants,
form a part of tho spray, pearls are
employed for the latter.
Girls' Four-Gored I'ottlcout.
Little girls as well as their elders
have need of well fitted underwear If
the pretty frocks are to appear at their
best. ThiD carefully shaped petticoat
was designed by May Manton with
that fact in view and can be relied
upon to give entire satisfaction. As
shown It is of white cambric with frill
of needlework, but taffeta, Sicilian and
gloria are nil correct as well as the va
rious whito fabrics. When made from
silk or wool a pllsso flounce makes the
best substitute for tho embroidered
one, although a bias ruffle, gathered,
Is correct.
Tho skirt Is cut In four gores so pro
viding a straight back that can bo
trusted to launder satisfactorily. Te
tho lower edge is Joined a deep gath
ered flounce that, in turn, Is edged
with a frill. The upper side Is finished
with a painted yoke-baud, applied over
tho material that can be drawn up. to
the required slio by means of tapes or
ribbons.
