At the beginning of the century it was as much a part of one's costume as a handkerchief, and pro Lab!y even more so, for all sorts and conditions of wo men wore aprons and the degree of the wearer was evidenced by the fineness of the material . used, ind the expt n siveness of the trimnjing. There was a saying to the effect that a man could judge frf the habits ojt the lady- he wished to choose for K wife from the manner in which she tied her apron strings. 1'or the past several years ajirons have not been ""much 'worn, their use being relegated almost! entirely to the small school girl or the Abigail of the kitchen; but now. with the revival of numerous other old-time styles, the apron has' again sprung into fashion. The up-to-date apron is not always washable, but it ""never ! becomes other than prettily pensive. There is nothing that imparts that sir of ..womanliness which is so attractive t) masculine eyes as an apron. Women have no more powerful weapon in their possession than this coquettish little; article of feminine attire. ; Nurses are scoring heavily in the matrimonial game, and you cannot persuade me that the crisp, white apron does not hare a great deal to do with it. ' To be sure, there are aprons and aprons. The butcher and ; the baker, and so all we twentieth century people know, the candle-sdck maker, have their own particular ktinds of aprons nd the nurse maid. maid, also wear apron employments in which FreQ Homes Bill Pass ed by Congress To Aid Settlers on Indian Lands.

(May 3. The House today, without division.' passed lie Free Homes' bill, which-has been penning before Congress for a number of years. The bill provides that the Government shall issue patents to ac tual bona fide settlers on agricultural lands on the Indian reservations opened to settlement. ThtTse lands were taken up by settlers, who contracted to pay for them $1.5 to $3.75 per acre. ; by the terms of thcL bill the Government assumes the payment of the purchase price to the Indians, and changes the existing laws relative to Agricultural Colleges, so as to, insure the paynunt of endowments which heretofore 'have, come out of the sale of public land-s in case of a deficiency. These navments nvolve $t.joo,ooo annually. Of the X) 000.000 acres in Indian reservations opened to settlement for which the Government is to pay or has iai& $ m.- 000.000. about 8.000.000 acres have" been aken. and about j.ooq.ooo are supposed o be still available for agricultural pur poses.
