I TI^H H^I?T^ New York City (Special).?Tlie eingle box pleat is still bifibly popular for dress skirts, especially when it is stiff with lengthwise rows 01 suicuing. An olive green cloth gown, represented in the accompanying illustraTHE POPCLAR BOX PLEAT BACK. tion has such a back to its otherwise unornamented skirt. The bodice is plain in the back save for such extensions of front trimming as appear nhnnldsrs. This trimminc ? consists of oval epaulettes in white, with an embroidered edge in gold thread?always an effective combination with olive green. The stock and brief extent of yoke below are of the white panne. Where the close-fitting bodice fastens down, the middle of the front, runs a series of scallops in the gold-embroidered white panne, and serving as a finish to the edge of the cloth. Deep caffs of the panne bell sharply at the wrists and are headed by the gold embroidery. . The draped waistband of olive silk, the exact shade of the cloth, is caught at one side of the front with a gold tyulkle. Eton Jacket* See in Popular: Spring models for jackets And coats are highly fascinating. . Whether long or short, each possesses a style that indim'ilnftl for in no wiav dOes one really "smart" wrap bear resemblanoe to anothar. There is a dintinct trimming and absolutely different way of stitching the long coat which does < not appear on an Eton style of jacket i or those which only just cover the ] waist line. These dainty wraps are < often made of the same material as. the skirt, bat this is not necessary to be modish. Velvet taffetas, brocaded goods and plain cloths, often 1 of another color, are used with good j effect. Often on a fancy model, or one in- 1 tended to be worn when something j 11 J 1> : 1 -1. 11 ] uressy is requireu, set iiguies uro appliqued on the sides and across the 1 back. White is used on the revere, ] sometimes velvet, and these 'are " stitched unless covered by a 'coarse lace. A favorite trimming is the French knot, and this has sprang ! into popularity to a great extent this ? spring. Not only ii it nee3^pon revers of outside garmonts, Ibut npon waists worn upo?.all ooeasione. A violet cloth' jacket with folds or J trimming of pean de roie of the same shade is one of the new conceits, and | a darker shade of heliotrope with white revers of pean de soie stitched with black is the style of another jaunty jacket. A long coat with high collar, suitable for epring days is of: i. cream cloth with bands of black and silver braid. The collar js held in place by a long silk crayat. It is beyond a doubt the - short, or Eton, jacket that will be affected this year, for it is graceful and becoming to all figures. . No More 9llk Petticoat*. Ought girls attending a high school to wear silk-petticoats? This weighty question was serionaly discussed for some hours th$ other day "by the trustees of a young ladi^V'tie&unary in Tainbow, Russia. Oak of the teachers had formally coipptatabd to them that he could not instruct his pupils properly for the reasoVthat his attention was constantly disturbed by the rustling of their silk petticoats. The trustees pondered over the matter carefully, and, as a result, a stringent o^er was issued prohibiting the pu- . pt.d henceforth from wearing silk petticoats daring their attendance at the school. The girls, it is said, are high' -i i il. - ** -^3 -i -i ii. . iv muignanc at xue oruer, dui xue teacher who complained about their undergarments is elated, as he is satisfied that he can in future give full attention to his work in the c'ass room. Chantllly and Orcanilic. A fetching little white organdie dress is given added chic by its abundance of black Chantiliy insertion and edge. There's an overdress on which the inch-wide insertion, 111 uino rows, is set on in zig-zag effect. This falls over the seven laced-edced ruifies on the fountain skirt. The bodice ?bcws fire rows of i'i*ertion. and the sieves trn. In ths i Cf fA&HiONsame 2ig-zag effect. Rows of velvet baoy ribbon are round the stock, nail they edge the fluffy jabot. Very useful and lovely are these simple orgamlie dresses, though this one is fine enough for almost any occasion. For lied- H;iire;l Girl?.

Those colors will only accentuate the reds in her hair ami the contrast is exceedingly unbecoming. '* She may, however, wear golden browns and plenty of them. These will bring out the r^ddy gold tints of her hair. She may also wear light and dark ehadeB ot blue and green, dark purple, gray, white and lavender with a blue cast. And when properly dressed, the red-haired girl is a rea' beauty. H?r Side Arras. Her'side arms are as important to the pocketless woman as they are to the officers of a vanquished army. Let us hope we will be permitted to retain always our "side arms," those capacious receptacles for handkerchief, purse, railway1 tiokets, card case and memoranda or keys. The favorite wear is a side-bag and chatelaiue of French gilt. A stont hook attaches the bag* fo ?oior waist belt. Some bags ar^^ornimenlied with torquoise? ot^ers ^^e tiny little balls of Frsnc> tro ts 'Coln Parses.

The difficulty of pronouncing successive syllables having a similar sound is -well known. Add a little embarrassment and publicity, and the difficulty may become the foundation of an amusing incident, such as is told by the New York Sun: It was at a meeting of the local Women's Suffrage Association of an inland city. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, a prominent officer of the National Woman's Suffrage Association, was to speak. The local President arose to introduce her, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have the honor this evening to introduce to you ittrs. unarrie uapman uau?x mean Mrs. Carrie Capman Ohatt?I mean Mrs. Carrie Chatman Cap?ladies and gentlemen?[desperately] ? you -will now be addressed fa Mrs. Charrie Capman Scat."

Colonel Thomas Wentwor th Higgin?on, the veteran abolitionist, soldier, lecturer and writer, has, a golden word of advioe for yonng men in Success: "The danger of being too changeable is especially apt to predominate in a country like our*, where things are mojce in a state of flux, less fixed and settled than in older countries, and where there are more fields. In England, for instance, if one starts in some particular line,,it is very difii* cult to get out ot it, but nere it1, is a comparatively easy matter. "I /should, therefore, say to young people: 'Beware o|/t<ttC^'t^|ioix to peiBiat in following an occupation or profession, merely fcecatue you . have Btarted in that, when once yon find that you are utterly unadapted to it; and still more, beware of the temptation to fly from one thing to another, to be constantly fluctuating in your 3hoice, for this will surely lead to failire and disappointment?an incomplete life.'" jpr Impvi Now you know what the \to\ H core, ? a perfect Sirsaparilla. fiM name of the mcdicinc, fdr ia a H', great many remedies, gf What you want is a Sarsaparil H pure, a Sarsaparilla that will maki ? rilla that is a powerful nerve toi I That's i 9 "The only Sarsaparilla made under Eta graduates: a graduate in Hj chemistry, and a grai IB $1.00 a bottle.

Once Buskin lunched with the Tennyaons, and what the present Lord Tennyson, recording his visit, remarked principally was his "blue tie." The trivial personality might be forgiven even in a book that set out with a preface against gossip, for tne master sue was in tratli a masterpiece. It was a very pure blue, almost crude beside the mixing colors of-modern taste, and?blue always helping each other?it emphasized the blue of Mr. Buskin's eye, in any pase the bluest eye in England. These ties were of special manufacture, the little bow being attaohed to an oldfashioned stock; and one or- two of them are treasured by friends as relics, just as the red caps of cardinals are sometimes to be found under glass' cases in favored households abroad.?

Nott was shot, and Shott was not. In this case it is better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was not shot, but Shott avows that he was not, which proves either that the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott was shot notwithstanding.
