This very excellent ^ May Manton one is adapted to both uses and to all the season's fabrics, but is shown in light weight melton in military blue stitched with eorticelli j silk, and makes part of the costume. i The coat is made with fronts, backs, 1 side backs and double underarm gores 1 wliicb allow of a perfect and graceful ] fit. The seams at front and back ex- c tend to the shoulders and are con- r cealed by the straps. The neck is fin- j ished in regulation coat style and the t sleeves can be the plain ones with roll ? over cuffs or the full bishop sort as , may be preferred. <; The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and onefourth yards forty-four inches wide, or three and one-fourth yards fifty-two : inches wide. i f Two Novelties of the Season. 6 .Shirt waists with plastron effects \ are among the novelties of the season t and are exceedingly effective. The i i one shown on the left of the large f drawing is made of louisine silk in ? shades of blue and is piped with vel- ? vet and trimmed with ornamental buttons, but the design is equally well suited to all the silk and wool waistings and to the cotton vestings which s are so popular. When the latter are c used the lining can be omitted and the 1 edges simply stitched or a trimming 1 of braid substituted for the piping of 5 velvet. t The waist consists of the fitted !in- ( SPIIRT WAIST. log, which closes at the centre front, t the fronts, the back and the plastron. r The back is tucked from the shoulders to the waist line to give a tapering effect to the figure, but the fronts f from the shoulder lo yoke uepm omj- j and are gathered at the waist line, j The plastron is cut on a curved out- ( line and attached to the right side, j hooked or buttoned over on the left. \ The sleeves are the fashionable ones c of the season that are large below < the elbows and small above and are \ finished with straight cuffs. At the . neck is a novel stock with tie. t The quantity of material required for tbe medium size is four and three- j eighth yards twenty-one inches wide, ( four and one-fourth yards twenty-sev- ^ en inches wide, or two and three- { eighth yards forty-four inches wide. All broad shoulder effects are in { vogue. The other very stylish blouse f shown in the large drawing is trimmed ( and tucked to give continuous lines in r waist and sleeves and is eminently t graceful and spjart. Tho model is j made of cerise crepe de chine and is f trimmed with heavy net with ap- \ pliques of silk cherries and a ruche of f chiffon, but all materials sufficiently i pliable for fine tucks are suitable and j the trimming can be 'ace or applique i of any sort. .Phe sleeves are wide aDd full over puffs of cream chiffon that f are charming in their effect, but the f under sleeves can be of the material . if preferred. The design is simplicity Itself, all the effect of elaboration being obtained by trimming. The lining is smoothly fitted and both it and the waist are - - -? - ^ xL . i T- e*r^r\ CIOFCU Ut TUe UUl'li. i lie uuc ao oc^/rt 'ate, made of combined tucking and net, and below it the front and backs are laid in narrow tucks, those at the centre front full length. others extending 1c yoke depth only. The sleeves are arranged over fitted linings that support the full puffs and which are faced to form the caps below which the bell shaped portions are tucked for several inches. The quantity of material required for the medium size is fire yards twenty-one inches wide, three and one-half yards twenty-seven inches wide, or three yards forty-four inches wide, with one yard of net forty inches wide, )ne yard of chiffon and half a yard of tucking to make as illustrated. i Persian Lamb Trimming. 3 Persian lamb trimming of lustrous t |TEST 'RICTUS ibre silk is one of the important accessories of the season. It comes in galloons of various widths and apJliques of different forms, -which, however, are invariably edged with a plain >r novelty fibre braid. These will be nuch used, both in millinery and dres9 ximining. as will also wool embroideries on chiffon or taffeta in Oriental ir pompadcu colorings and cloth cut vork in two colors outlined in black ;nd wLite or pongee colored silk cord. Garnitures of wool embroidery in mulicolors, with fringe ornaments and langles, are attractive novelties. The Cuff of the Season* Cuffs are the centre of interest in the ileeve line this season. Otherwise here is no radical departure in outine or architecture. The baggy puff, vhich is slightly diminished by means if gores, has been shifted somewhat nore toward the elbow. But the cuff >f the season, those specimens espe ially which adorn the more dressy ostumes and coats, seem to combine he ideas and all the different eras in he history of dress, and are indeed flowing tributes to the ingenuity of he sartorial artist. Sntin Ribbons. Ribbons manipulated in n hundred ngenious ways and combined in a icli gamut of tones, trim many of the landsomest hats and toques. A dark )lue felt turban is trimmed with two arse rosettes of ribbon set on the back >f the crown. These are made of satin ibbon rolled to points and made to esemble double dahlias, the petals jeing shaded from light to the deepsst golden yellow. These trim the hat, vith the addition of two small puffs of lark blue velvet. The Gibnon Girdle. The latest belt, called rather unimiginatively, the Gibson girdle, is wide n the back and tapers slightly to the ront, where it is fastened with two itraps and silver or gun-metal harness >uckles. The girdle comes in DJacu md colored leathers, and has scalloped jands of self-colored or contrasting ;hades of leather stitched on either >ide, leaving a space between about m inch in width. Soft Graceful Effects. Soft, graceful effects in gowns are sought for tbis season, says a Paris orrespoudent of Bon Ton, and to gain his end skirts are made fuller and 'uller. boleros and jackets are short, 'howing the high girdles beneath, and he sleeves admit of a hundred and )ne designs as long as they are loose TUCKED BLOUSE. uul "floppy" with lace or pleated silk utiles falling over the hand. Woman s Fancy Kloune. Fancy blouses retain all their favor tnd will be much worn during the coning season. This one, designed by tfay Manton. includes the new cape ;ffeet with the fashionable shallow roke and princess closing and is fitted loth to the odd waist and gown. The >riginal is made of mauve crepe de hine, trimmed with ecru lace and lands of velvet In a darker shade, but ill the thinner materials of the season are appropriate. The waist is made with a fitted linng which closes at the centre front. Jn this lining are arranged the yoke, vhich closes at the left shoulder seam, md the portions of the waist proper. The back is plain, urawn uuwu m gathers at the waist line, but the ronts are laid in box pleats at their dges and both they and the sleeves ire tucked at their upper portions, he tucks providing fulness below. The ittle cape, or bertha, is circular and nils over the arms-eye seams, so givng the broad effect of fashion. The sleeves are snug for a short distance >elow the shoulders, but form full niffs at the wrists where they are leld by straight cuffs. The quantity of material required or tbe medium size is five and threeourtli yards twenty-one inches wide, F>N V BLOUSE.

Granted that the article is a good one and something that the publio wants, if advertising fails to create demand it is because the advertising is poorly done.

How tha Llnoor Traffic OetR in Its Blows Upon Those Who Are Perfectly Innocent of Its Use ?Disproving a Time-Worn Fallacy. The following incident is a very striking [lustration of how the liquor traffic gets n its blows upon those who are perfectly nnocent of the use of intoxicating drink, nd proves the fallacy of the time-worn njunction, "Let liquor alone and it will jt you alone." On one of the coldest nights of last winer a policeman was patroling his beat in he tenement portion of or.o of our large western cities. At a certain point steam ra9 continually rising from around an ron trap door in tne street, through vhich the heating system of the city was egulated. Each time he passed this point le would pause to warm his chilled feet in the warm iron. But on one of his turns le was surprised to find some object upon he lid. and when he drew nearer found a ittle girl, not more than eight years old, lad only in a thin night garment, crouchng on the warm iron, in a vain endeavor o keep from freezing in the chill winter ilasts. She was alreadv numb with cold .nd unable to utter a sound. The policenan rang for a patrol and hurried ner to he station, where she was placed in the are of the kind-hearted matron, but the nost strenuous efforts were necessary to evive the spark of life that burneci so eeblv in her frail body. She would have teen a prettv child but for the starved exsession on her features and the long red nark across one side of her face, where he had evidently been struck a cruel blow, The policemen who were in the station hat night will never forget the sight thai net their eyes when the matron removed he child's single garment and called there n to see the condition of her body. She .cross her little back were rreat purple velts where she had been beaten with a tick. Hardened to such things as thej vere many of the polidemen wept as thej aw the child's pitiful condition. She waj oon raving in delirium, and the only in< elligible words they could get from hei vere. "Papa wouldn't Have done it if ht ladn't been drinking." Police investigation found her to be a notherless waif, living with a drunker ather and an equally drunken stepmothei n a barren room of one of the tenements Whatever they earned was spent in th? :orner saloon, and the child was sent out in the streets to beg for food for the fam ly. On the day in question the weathei lad been so terrible that she returned at light with frozen clothing and an almost mpty basket. There was no fire, so sh< >ut on the only other garment she coulc ind and crawled into the bed. About mid light the father came in half drunk, anc lot finding the food he expected draggec he child from bed, beat her cruelly anc 'orced her out into the bitter cold night orbidding her to return until she coulc ecure food or money. Knowing not when o go she sought the only warm place t< ie found and crouched upon the lid of th< team trap until found by the policeman. The best of treatment could not avail md in less than a week the little sufferei jassed away, and the last words thai irossed her Hds were, "Papa wouldn'1 lave done it if he hadn't been drinking." She wag but one of thousands of litth inea who are innocent sufferers at th( lands of the iniquitous drink traffic. Yei he great mass of church membership anc Christian voters who are in truth respon ible for the existence of the saloon main ain an attitude of the greatest indiffer nee, ar.d refrain, when the power ii heirs, from dealing the institution a tyo^ vhich would forever destroy it.

C!arenc< S. Long. Responsibility of the Side Door. Magistrate Peter T. Barlow, of Nev fork City, says the side door of the salooi s responsible for the increase of drunken less among women of the poorer classes. "It is true thit drunkenness amonj vcroen is on the increase," he said, "bu' he tijr'res are not startling until they an arsfi'.'ly considered.

Unfortunately, many of then ire found out by being compelled to ap >ear in court." A Destructive Agent. The famous Dr. Wulfert has lately pub ishcd a paper on the effect of alcohol or Curopeans in tropical countries. It ii nore dangerous, he says, than malaria 01 Jimate fever, as it at the same time af ects the digestive organs, the brain anc he nervous system. Every scientist whc ias spent some time in tropical countriei grees with the opinion that the digestive rgans, the stomach and the bowels easiei ;et out of order in hot than in cold cli nates, and that the breaking-down effectj f alcohol are considerably stronger in the ropics than in more temperate climates I Derson addicted to the use of alcoholic iquors will there have his stomach en irely out of order in two weeks. It is the same wav with the nerves. Tht loderate use of alcohol continued with he heat causes an intolerable somnolence; ireakness, heaviness in the limbs, difficulty i working, and low spirits. The effects n the brain show themselves by dizziess and in fits of bad temper that someimes cause real madness. These effects f the alcohol show themselves especially during the rainy time, when the aii 5 saturated with moisture. As a prool hat these troubles reaiiy come from alco01 can be mentioned that the Hollander! 2 India, who do not use alcoholic beverges, are able, to work hard either at lental or muscular work even during the ottest times.?B.
