WHAT WOMEN WEAR.
Araong the pretty waists are those
'with bolero fronts and plain backs.
Skirts with panels are not uncommon,
and some of these are decorated in the
most elaborate fashion with beads, era-
broidery and jewels.
Among the new skirts are those that
aro very nearly straight—that is, they
Eire destitute of the flare with which we
have becorae so familiar.
An evening dress of black velvet has
2 inch folds of white satin in every
seam of the skirt This is" a rather star-
tling fashion, but gives variety, which,
of course, is the main thing.
A new skirt is made up of five
iflounces, one overlapping the other.
They are slightly gathered and sewed
upon a silk foundation. The ruffles are
bound with ribbon, and the upper one
overlaps the next _ by about 2 1-2
tithes.
ery handsome waists are made of
corduroy or ribbed velvet. The body is
close fitting, the fronts are turned back
and faced with silk of the same shaft.
The full length vest and collars are of
pale rose color, with an abundance of
white lace.
A novelty hat has a medium width
brim and a rather flat, low crown. A
wide section of bias velvet is lined with
a contrasting color. This velvet is plait-
ed so as to fit over the crown and the
upper side of the brim. At the back it

HIS VISION PERVERTED.
A. Boy Who Writes lesultward, but Sees IS
as if Written Correctly.
A remarkable case ot what, for want
of a better eame is termed perverted
vision is just now attraotiug =oh atten-

The victim of this strange malady la
John Gbidotti, a fayear-old boy who at-
tends the public schools of thitt atty.
Physically and mentally, so far as scient-
ists and physicians eau determine, he in
no way differs from other boys of his
age except thee it is practically impos-
sible for bile to write in the ardlnaly
manner. Be uses his left hand, writing
from riglat to left, forming his letters and,
sentences backward.
This peoulierity of the boy was noticed
as soon as be began to take writing
lessons. He Imitated the letters quickly
and wrote rapidly for one so young, but
his writing was invariably in the reverse
order.
&teeing from the wrong side of the
page, he would cover his copybook with
obaracters evbich looked unlike anything
called writing, but if the page was held
before a mirror the reflectiou was per-
fectly legible and appeared, like ordinary
writing. Sttauge to sag, he makes
figures in the proper raannee Yet he
minuet explain the difference between
writing Bermes from left to right and let-
ters just the reverse. It seems impossible
to teach this child that there is anything
peculiar about his chirography, and he
persists that his handwriting is like that
of any other person.
One may guide his right hand over a
line of copy hi the proper manner, but
the moment his hand is released he in -
gently changes the rencil to his left
Jean,' and commences to write in his
through the looking glass fashion.
Another peculiar feature of this per-
verted vision is that apparently he has
no difficulty in reeding the handwriting
of other persons, although there is such
a difference between his own and that of
others.
His teather, Miss Alice C. Buckley,
says that he evidently tries very bard to
do as he is told, but it is as diffloult for
him to write in the ordinary manner as
it would be for another to praotice his
-unique method. She cannot make up
her mind. whether his difficulty comes
from a defect in his eyes or frora the fact
that he is left handed, but she has little
