Among the rest royalty prescribes the exact length o t a train and the degree of exposure required of the arms and bust. But Nellie Chapman had Ideas of her own on the latter subject, and when it cam* to the Shaping of the gown eh* was to wear for the grand event the American xlrl had tba height of her corsage arranged to suit her own Ideas of what waa decorous and appropriate. It was an extremely dain­ ty gown of white satin, perfectly ®t- ted to the slight and graceful figure, with chaste trimmings of tulle and garlanda of white marguerites, dia­ monds and pearls .giving it a touch of elegance, and above It all the fair re­ publican face carried with truly regal spirit, But, alas! on the threshold of the drawing-room she was stopped by an Imperious chamberlain, who loftily Informed her that she could not go In, as her goivn was not low enough In the neck. For one moment the spirited American girl was dismayed, then, with a scornful lock at the courtier, she lifted her little gloved hands, and. giving both shoulders of, the corsage an impetuous ’twitch, bared her dim­ pled shoulders, and. with the. defiant, “Now It will do /1 walked past the as-" tonlshed gentleman-in-waltlng.

It Is generally understood that plaids, especially the large plaids that are worn thle season, show off to better advantage when made up, on the bias in a circular skirt. The:, illustration gives a:model skirt designed principally for plaid materials. It is of circular shaping, fits perfectly smooth across the front and over the-hips to the cen­ tre hack. The upper part Is sheath fit­ ting, but from the knee down the skirt flares stylishly and falls Jn graceful folds toward the back. The single box plait is applied narrow at the watst line but flares toward the bottom, Where it trains slightly, The close ad­ justment at the upper portion of this skirt gives much the same efiect as the lmbU skirts, which haves been and are still very popular. The dosing Is effected invisibly at the left, side under the plait and a pocket may be 1 conveni­ ently inserted at the opposite side. Although designed especially for plaid and for double faced materials, this model would be appropriate for cheviot, camel’s hair, homespun, Vene­ tians or any of the new novelty cloths. The skirt is lined throughout with fine pc-rcaline and finished around the tow­ er edge with Donna skirt facing, which comes in all colors and Is shaped to fit. To make this skirt In the medium sise will require 3% yards of material 54 Inches wide. MAT MANTON. Furs snd No Furs. Women who wear furs should be especially particular as to their meth­ ods of dispensing with them for certain costumes. It almost Invariably invites a cold, unless some precaution is taken, and even then there is considerable risk for women who are not strong, says the Criterion. A year or two ago, when the hideous little mink cottars weie worn with claws, head and tail In evi­ dence, physicians declared that diph­ theria, sore throats and pleurisy flour­ ished as never before. Most women tn- slst on dressing Inadequately for cold weather, for the reason that heavy clothing Is not pretty as a rule. For this reason colds begin to attack femi­ ninity about this time of year and re­ main until the winter Is ended. My lady goes about daintily through the co d, months, proudly conscious that al­ though wintry winds blow cold, her In­ ner garmenting expresses' summer’s airiest frivolity, Any number of women wear low shoes and silk hosiery throughout the winter without the pro­ tection of a cloth gaiter. Roots and those. A word as to the care of boots, We are just now'buying new ones and put­ ting by those we wore in the summer and early autumn, It is welt, if wg can* to get boots two months before one wants them, so that the leather may be seasoned, to rub them alt over, soles too, with vaseline, and then put them by until needed. Boot trees, made spec­ ially by the maker of whom we buy our boots, and not bought promiscu­ ously, are a necessity. Banana and orange juice are capital polishers, and so Is a mixture of cream and blue- black ink, in equal quantities, Patent leather cleans well with cream and new milk. Finally, never dry wet boots by the fire, hut put them where the wind may blow upon them, Cars ef Veils. The beauty and freshness of a veil can be preserved for a long time If It It properly cared for. After wearing It should be smoothed out carefully and rolled between paper or over a rod. A piece of broomstick makes an excel­ lent roller. A veil which has become limp cun be freshened by dipping It ifl weak gum water and pullifig it straight before it dries. ^From now on 1 fail) sell Robes «fi«l Blanket* fit greatly reduced prides, In fact I will sell them fit put*# to merely cover fa# cost find Mrrifig*.

Mrs. Nagle, loudly declared Mrs. O'Connor, of the third floor back on the fire-escape corner. ‘Tt’e a sJn and a shame, Indeed aud it Is—for Annie and her maa to wear the life and the heart out of her odd dad snd the poor motherless kid. Bven If old John is shaky and slow, there It, u you say, Mrs. Nagle, some respects dut from child to father. Indeed, and I’ll tell Annie mo meafilf, when me chants comes.” ■ ■ . A ■ "And what is It, Mnggle O'Connor, you’ll so kindly tell Annie when the chance comes?” It waa a loud voice that carried this question to the itertled women, and a sneer went with It, and a Wnt of quick anger near at hand. "I'm here, and I'll listen with pleasure” • Smiling a trifle, as she saw the other woman's face grow red and heard her high-pitched voice dwindle Into an apologetic murmur .the new-comer placed her hands on her lips, and stood in waiting, silence. She was about 4# years of age—-handaotn© in a coarse, black style, but In voice and face aa hard as the doorstep upon which she stood. ; The silence was only a prelude, In­ troduced for that effect which comes from contrast It lasted for a moment only. ."Yes,” and the dark brows scowled fiercely, "you women blow around be­ hind my back, and when I'm here to face you, you back down like scared rabbits. ;You can crawl back to your holes now, and if I hear any more of this talk you'll both be sorry for It afterward.' That’s all. Better look after your own kid, Mrs. OConnor, who’s a thief and a' sneak, like his own mother, Mrs.* Maggie O’Connor”—and with this winged shaft she turned about !n true Hell's Kitchen contempt, went into her little shop, banged the door to show her freedom .from to# smaller Restrictions of social life, and left the vanquished gossips to vanish as they might A moment later, when the coast was clear, there came to the door of Annie McQueen, delicatessen purveyor to the neighborhood, two pathetic figures— so unlike In years, and yet In all other ways so like, that one knew b" in­ stinct that they would be drawu to­ gether. The one was an old, old man; old not only in years, but from long poverty and weary labor; the other a bov of ten, so May for his years, so pinched and weakened and underfed that he seemed more ancient than the other. There was fear upon the faces of both and that stamped the likeness more distinctly. Bitter experience had taught them that there was cause for fear. The door opened, and Annie stood before them. Her words were not the mere halt-meant expressions that are recognized as safety-valves for disap­ pearing anger; they were cudgels, and brought’the blood with every blow. “Out of my way, you beggars,” she shouted. "You*good-for>nothlngs, who are always ready for your meals, but good for nothing else.” She reached forth a heavy hand, and gave the boy a Btluglng blow. He winced only a little—hourly custom .can make one used to 'anythlngr—moved away a lit­ tle to one side, forced back the tears, and looked for courage Into bis grand­ father’s face. The old man looked into his daugh-. tor’s eyes for a breaking of the cloud —it sometimes chanced that way. “Now, Annie,” he began feebly, but she turned upon him In a very fury of wrath. "You old sot," she screamed, "get out of my sight this minute. Yes, I mean it, and 1 mean it for the two of yes. Move on, I say,” and she banged the door too, turned the key in the lock, and left them together. Together. Well, there was a world of comfort In the thought. The little cripple and the decrepit old man were usually the happiest twain in the world, when left alone together. They walked together, and they talked to­ gether, usually in the little park among the tenements, or on the docks of the great Hudson, down beyond the grain elevators. But there was al­ ways this flaw In their serenest hap­ piness; they coaid not forget the shadow of that heavy hand at home, fior the echo of that cruel voice that would greet them at the door. As the door slammed too, old John said gently to the tired child: “Well, boy, we'll go over to the park for a spell. I guess we don't need our sup­ per as much as we thought we did. We can have a good time a-lookln' at the stars and a countln’ of 'em like we did the other night; and then when Aunt Annie feels a bit smoother we'll slip In. soft like, and perhaps when morning comes she’ll be over her mad­ ness,” He striick a light for hia old clay pipe and sighed softly: "It’s too bad she'a ao cross-tempered, ain’t It, Johnny? You and me gets the heft of it, and it's tough at times. Eh, Johnny?” Hard usage had made of Johnny i philosopher, after Nature had made him a poet So he smiled into th» troubled face of the old man, and as he limped along he thought of the manifold and changing glories of-the little park, where the scarlet tulips stood in such straight rows, ready for the signal, he told himself, to march away into the sunset; of the trees that moved mysteriously in the breeze from the river; of the grass that was velvet as tt sloped away from the hard pavement, They sat in the park until the damp air of the night chilled them both. They drew close together, like the chflms they were, and talked of the sky and the flowers; of the huge tracks and the strong horses that clattered by; of the clanging locomo­ tives down on the river front; of th# ships thst sailed away to the north oi south; of grandfather's past In the old green isle and of Johnny’s future in the dassling land of independent man- lood, Ae the night cam# on the talk twlfidled to a mere thread of dis onme that grew lees bright a«d ranny, as fa« sunshine faded in the aky. At taut, the old man said: "Come, hoy, let s be moving along toward the •hop, it's getting a little cold out hire." •fawiy they wended their way to* ward feomt-et- m that i t ike whole warn oo « m take m fata nerne to t i t windows of ike muia amita mafia ed dark awl forWidlt* t u e t * a t the -deer, quietly at flmL waa afraid to vratww upoamore tha* aa apatetr 4ta * haock—aad the* aagry word* which he so well knew woaMI follow the opealng, He held the child's Juutd tightly in his own.

There v o a pause. The boy took a . . . . . ----- -------- step forward, but a firmly set foot barred his way, "I though so!” said the woman. "Now I'm through with this, once and for all. You bear? I'm done with the both of yous. You’re no good to me, eating my bread and earning none for yourselves, You can just clear out, You can't come in now and you can’t come In again, Git. now and never come back!” For the second time that night the door was slammed in their faces, The old man looked up the street and down again. He looked at the lowering aky and then at Johnny, He took out his old pipe, filled it me­ chanically and put It back into his pocket. "Never come back!” Was this his baby Annie of so long ago? The words seemed to ring In his ears with a curious persistence, like the buss of insects on a summer n igh t’ He gased at the bionic face of the for­ bidding door as though the pain at his heart would force It open. He felt a little tug at his hand and saw upon the pinched face upturned to his a quivering Up and eyes upon which was the dew of gathering tears. "Grandad, what did aunt Annie mean? Is she mad again? I’m- so tired and a little hungry. Ain’t we°to go In, grandad?” The big tears be­ gan to run slowly down his cheeks. They were walking along the empty streets now. . The little feet lagged, and the boy hung back with a tired air. ’Til carry you a little) Johnny. I gacsj you’re about wore out." Ho igitucvcd the light body up into his arms—as he had carried Annie once. He hud ho definite destination in It mattered little where lie 1 v l -., i now. There was no roof under tlit- sky to welcome him to-night * 1 , ere was nowhere oh this side of the ocean, a tie of kinship to draw him to Itself. Ills heart was as heavy us his lit- d was light 'i Ue air had grown colder as he n' lved on toward the dock, and he s:iw before him the wide and empty slip Jiist beyond. Peace brooded up­ on its surface; rest seemed to be the iuvituUoa of Its deepening waters. Tho:v was -nowhere upon Its expanse the.aagry voice of an ungrateful child; no room within its eternal majesty for In.i/uiu passions of the littleness of hu­ man strife. The boy- was asleep in the tired old arms, and a white face was upturned to the sky. The eyes of the old man filled with tears, “He ought to be with his dear mother,” he whispered, and then there came a thought of his own mother in the far-off days, and of the wife he had loved, who was asleep to-night under the green old sod. The world seemed to sink away then, and he and the boy were alone With his memories and the quiet wa­ ters before them. He moved slowly to the edge of the wharf. “With his mother," he whispered to himself. There’s no room for us here, and 1 want to go.” He gathered the boy more closely into his arms and kissed the cold and sleeping face. There was one look at the sky, a ripple upon the surface of the water—and that peace which pass- eth understanding flowed into these two retired souls.—N. Y. Mail und Ex- press. i Killed by Ants. , An exchange tells of a man in Aus­ tralia who was killed by ants. Such an occurrence is said not to be very un­ common in that country. It Is describ­ ed as more dreadful than the horrors devised by the most ingenious or the Grand Inquisitors, The man was a prospector, and while digging in the side of a hill was in­ jured by a fall of earth. As he lay partly covered and unable to move ho wa|.attacked by’a nest of ants, and for more than an hour millions of the vor­ acious insects simply fed upon him. He died shortly after being rescued. There Is a cate on record of a Ballar­ at woodcarter who was found under hfs overturned dray, suffering fearful torments. He had -been attacked by ants, and would certainly have suc­ cumbed had It not been for his dog, The animal, a cattle dog, only discover* id -what waa wrong after several hours, and then, by persistently scratching at the stream of ants on tht ground, and licking them from his master’s face, and arms, kept him comparatively free till help arrived.
