atiAKmp Th woman, young or old. does not sxlst who does
tVOVtl not delight In tho hour when she may attire herself
In a bewitching and yet a loose gown. - Twice In every
- twenty-four hours may thess much ruffled, much tace-
bedecked garments be donned with perfect propriety.
Breakfast gowns, tea gowns, gowns for milady's
boudoir,, and smart jackets and coats to be worn
Whlle the well-dressed woman usually comes to the
breakfast table gowned for her club,, a lecture or a
promenade, there are, now and again, mornings when
she needs a perfect rest, and for such an occasion the
long trailing lace-trlmmed gown is fitting.
Between the dark and daylight tea gowns come
out. while when lounging In her own sanctum, after
a long day on the links or a hard walk, the charm
ing jackets especially adapted for negligees are
donned. '
In material these gowns are made of silks, satins,
soft, dainty cloths, and ribbons and lace form a large
part of their design. When lace is omitted, then the
ever-becoming chiffon Is brought In play.
Several things, however, are necessary In the con-
blue crepe It- Is trimmed with bands of Persian embroidery,.-
and a girdle ..of the same is tied loosely
about tho -waist. ,Thejacket effect is also edged with
the embroidery, and big, full sleeves of lace complete
a handsome gown.',.
While a mauve serge trimmed with white luce is
less extravagant t in design and texture, still It is
lovely In its simplicity... :
'This gown is to be worn at twilight, and Its full,
long gracefulness comes from the shoulders. It is

things, becoming.
Beautiful Is a handsome breakfast gown of pale
round at the neck, being filled In with Russian lace,
and the big, flowing sleeves are also finished with It.
For the frosty days when there Is a charm In red,
a pretty, simple gown, was recently made. It has a
Watteau back and U full in front from the bust,
fitting In snugly over the hips.
In lavender and white comes a pretty gown to lie
worn while studying or writing. It Is finished with
a ruffle at the bottom and about the sleeves, while
the same simple trimming is upon the full, broad
collars.
Smart. Indeed, Is the Jacket of pink brocaded silk,
trimmed with embroidered chffon 1 and lace. The

THE QUEEN OF
SPAIN'S LOVE-STORY.
The Spanish court has in the last few
days supplied a bouquet of extraordinary
stories of that peculiar luridness and
improbability that we are accustomed to
only in dispatches from Vienna and
Shanghai the two centers, which, .since
the death of the late Ananias, hold the
record for fertility of invention. Tha
point of these stories Ih the startling new
light In which the King and the Queen
. Mother, of Spain - are set fotjth to the
" world; 'yet. when one' reflects on' the" Wild
possibilities of the Happsburg Cfood. and
Its past vagaries, one Is led to pause be
fore discrediting the wtoole tale as a mere
piece of sensational tjionsense. First, we
are told that the Queen Mother, Maria
Christina, whom we have been accus
tomed to look on as a hy pietist, of a
somewhat sour and Inhuman type. Is real
ly a heroine of romance who would have
wan the heart of Alexandre Dumas. Thr
good lady Is declared to have fallen deep
ly In love, when she' was a mere girl,
with a certain Count de la BscosUrn. the
two fervent hearts plighting an eternal
troth. Then dire necessity overtook them:
for the princess was compelled to make
one of those reluctant marriages of State
that take so much gilt off the royal gin
gerbread; and the bitterness of separa
tion had to be endured. After a long
interval. It is said that the two severed
hearts are once more Joined; the Queen,
having discharged her .star duties in pro
ducing and rearing an heir to the throne,
has decided that It Is her turn now, and
has morganatlcally married her count,
so the story says, on her' recent visit
to Austria. If this he true, we most sin
cerely wish -them all happiness, aceord-

A WARNING TO PROPHETS.
ProphOejIf is a dangerous gift, and we
submit" to S .number of estimable gentle
men, of whom the Rev. pr. Slicer' is a
fair type, that In dealing with a ques
tion of such grave importance as the coal
Strike,' (.'pelr. published utterances 'should
be carefully guarded. It can serve no
possibly good end to announce to the
world that "unless the public necessity
for coal be promptly relieved this city will
witness lawlessness and anarchy." By
just such unwise utterances as this are
the seeds of lawlessness and anarchy
sown. When a man of Dr. Siicer's po
sition says that "in this city of l.too.000
Inhabitants you wilt find half a million
who will refuse to tamely see their fam
ilies suffer end die,' and continues to pre
diet an uprising, hs clearly exceeds the
limits of propriety, broad as is the li
cense In speech Ordinarily permitted "to
his cloth. It is very true that there is
reason for grave apprehension as to the
comfort of a larce proportion of Ihe
dwellers In this and other cities from the.1
O soul, re one cometh to reckon."
But he, the proud soul, laughing lightly,
Looked up'where the sun was unrisen.
And said, "I will slumber till daybreak."
So he turned on his pillow, and, dreaming,
Saw laurels Inwoven to crown him,
And wealth for his taking, and Beauty.
With love in her eyes, run to meet him;
Then he woke to a step In the doorway,
"All night at thy feet lay thy wishes
Now I take them," one said, and departed.

rules for acquiring a correct method of
breathing, as given by i specialist, who
has made an exhaustive study of the sub
ject: 1. After retiring at night, release
body and mind from all tension, and take
full and regular Inhalations through your
nostrils; hold the breath about one sec
ond; take all the tjme you can to exhale
It; keep this up until you are weary or fHll
asleep. 2. When you wake In the morning,
repeat the exercise at least four or five
minutes: longer, if time permits. 3 Dur
ing the day take as many full respirations
as possible, exercising care with the ex
halations. While taking these exercises,

HOW THE CHINESE
EMPRESS ENTERTAINS.
Her August Majesty Tie His An, Dow
ager Kmpress of China, and her worthy
adopted son. his Imperial Majesty Kwang
Hsu. offer a charming contrast to the
angry passions of the Spanish royalties.
Recently, to mark the renewal of per
fectly good relations between China and
the powers, the worthy Empress Dow
ager gave a "ffink tea" to the ladles of
the embassies and ministries at Peking,
It Is reported thst her Celestial Majesty
was-nrbanity 4iself; -tltese was something -even
kittenish snd sprightly In her greet
ing to her guests. This dear old lady,
who was so universally anathematized
only two years ago, and who was report
ed by the veracious news-providers of
Shanghai to have boiled two or three,
ambassadors In oil or filled them up with
melted lead, was decked, it seems, in a
magnificent gown of blue silk, embroid
ered with golden butterflies snd birds.
Her hair was done in the Manchurlan
fashion, with two huge bows, or butter
flies at the side, and her smile was sweet
snd winning. Emperor Kwang Hsu stood
beside his adoptive mamma, sweet-tempered
and affable, Ms olive face lit up
with a playful smile. He allowed" the
dear old lady to do all the talking,
through a charming Chines damsel, the
daughter of a former Chinese minister to
Berlin, who speeks German and English
fluently. The Dowager Empress wore
