SUIT FOR SPRING.
Knotted Sashes a
Feature of the Mode.
li C
ft, " ' -" -
TAILORED SUIT OF PRUNE CLOTH.
A touch of grace is added to the se
vere tailored suit by a soft, knotted
gash of silk. This pretty spring suit of
prune colored silk and wool fabric has
trimming bands of velvet in the same
shade and a knotted fringed sash of
prune satin.
Be a Good Loser.
If there Is anything that is irritating
It is the way that some people talk of
their troubles, as if they were a kind
of treat not cheerfully, but with a
kind of gloomy joy; in a word, they
are resigned. It is only mighty big
humbugs that will say they are thank
ful for troubles. We may eventually
live to see that they were right and
best for us, but at the time it is sheer
hypocrisy to waggle our heads solemn
ly and say, "Happiness is a snare any
how; it is foolish for any one to ex
pect happiness in this grizzly ?:5
world."
People who talk that v.-ay dont de
serve happiness. We weren't put here
to be miserable. The idea that life is
for suffering and not enjoyment is fast
being shelved. If the Lord approves
of lamentation and tears he would not
have put so much in the world to make
nn hopeful and happy.
There is nothing more common than
trouble. We all have our troubles, but
It Is the wise ones of earth that keep
iheir burdens in the background. It
Is so common and cheap and selfish tc
be continually parading one's grief?
and disappintments. Whatever our
lot, we should all learn the wisdom of
that helpful little prayer, "Help me to
win, if win I may, but if 1 may nut
win make me a good loser."
Concerning Women.
The famous lucky petticoat of the
Stroud family is now on its way to
McKinuey, Tex., where Miss Rosabel
Hines will be the nineteenth bride to
wear it. The petticoat was made fifty
five years ago by Miss Emma Stroud
at Madison.' Ga. She saved it for her
daughters, and now her granddaugh
ters are wearing it.
Ellen Terry says that when men
writers draw a good woman they in
evitably depict a silly one. She charac
terizes Helena iu "All's Well That
Ends Well" and Julia in "Two Gentle
men of Verona" as "doormat women."
Imogen Is the most attractive o'
Shakespeare's women, says Miss Terry.
Queen Olga of Greece has a confes
sion album. It contains the names of
most of the crowned heads of Europy
who have been induced to answer more
or less personal questions propounded
by the queen. Edward VII. of Eng
land has written after the question,
"What is the most objectionable man
you know?" the answer. "The man
who points an umbrella at you and
shouts, 'There he is." The queen
takes the album when she travels and
is said to display unconcealed delight
In exhibhing its contents to her royal
acquaintances.
A Purple Gown.
.An admirable new gown model is of
plum purple with a straight narrow
kirt trimmed below the knees with a
deep fold of the material piped with
black satin. There are two swinging
panels at the back, which give a broad
effect across the waist at the back.
This, by the way, is one of the domi
nant features of this winter's styles
and will be seen on every kind of
gown.
The coat is quite large and does not
follow the slim, straight lines that all
the tailors made conspicuous last sum
mer. It has a black satin cord across
the back a little above the waist, which
holds the material in, and a peplum or
lower part, which fits the hips snugly
and reaches halfway to the knees.
There are two buttons to fasten It
above the waist line in front and a vo
luminous collar square across the back
and running to points at the waist.
This Is made of French gray broad
cloth finished off with a band of the
material and with an Egyptian design
In tubular black braid in the middle
of the back.
Damascus Swords.
Damascus swords were made of al
ternate layers' of Iron and steel, so
finely tempered that the blade would
bend to' the hilt without breaking, with
an edge so keen that no coat of mail
could resist it and a surface so highly
polished that when a Moslem wished
to rearrange his tucban he used his
sword for a looking glass.

How the Ancients Regarded Iron.
The ajcient Egyptians believed that
Iron was the bone of Typhon, the ene
my of Osiris, and for this reason it was
considered impure. No one could make
use of it eveu for the most ordinary
requirements of life without polluting
his soul in a way that would cause him
harm both on earth and in the other
world.
PRICE OF OATS UP
FIFTY CENTS TON
The price of oats is showing a fur
ther advance of 50c a ton in the Port
land market. Buyers are now eagerly
bidding as high at $32.50 per ton for
No. l white based upon track deliv
ery. Very few oats are being offered
and theseare in strong hands. Lead
ing buyers are making every possible
effort to land supplies, but the move
ment is restricted because growers
are asking more money.
Wheat market is steady, but the
tone is not as strong as a few days
ago. Foreign markets, continue to
react and there is practically nothing
doing in an export way. Millers con
tinue leading buyers of wheat at this
time-
No new business of importance is
noted in the export' flour trade, ord
ers being few and of small volume.
Only deferred delivery is possible at
all.
Hay market is weaker with prices
generally 50c a ton lower.

follows:
