Silk muslin gowns show cloth hems, The new petticoat is a mere ruffle buttoned to Lim corset, Filigree is not admitted la the decoral- t at scheme of peewees, Some smart princess gowns simulate) the tunic by means of a tuck. While pique sults are trimmed on the skirt with bands of colored linen. Smart colored effects are this year ob- tained In the dotted Saesses, Straw colorings, pongee shades, and other Itgbt tones are much sought in Dol- ton stuffs, The new losered is being made up with touches of black at lbe belt and niece. Winds of dotted Swiss threaded with ribbon make a ,pretty finish for night- gowns, Dyed lice made over chiffon of a llghb er shade is sometimes seen on sone smart, new blouses. Many of the new princess gowns are made with a princess slip, but deny the fact b' belt or $ash, • The sleeveless coat in silk, lace em- broidred net, or what one will Ls to be a picturesque feature. The heavy filet laces gala constantly In popularity and have quite superseded the Irish and VenLse. The idea of braiding an entire coat of e dark color with white or biscuit sou- toehe Is popular in Parts. Green Ls favored In gown trimmings this year and lingerie. dresses are embroi- dered in its delicate shades. Long sleeves aro making gradual.head- way and it Is advisable to have a few summer dresses made with them. Cluny lace, the color of the dot, is combined with the Swiss and the dress is worn over a slip of self -color or white. The skirt with the plain, close fit- ting top but flaring at the lower part conhtnes le grow In favor. It is some- times Irian ed with a wide Told, but just as often it is plain. Pretty and new are the jabots made of fine plaited lawn with a colored hem- atiteh like a handkerchief, of course, In washing fibres. They are black and white, with pale blue, mauve, and yel- low edging. The management of the Grecian drap- eries, especially in the skirts, is adroit. They aro wonderfully plastic when well handled and lend themselves admirably to the concealment of Lad polnts and Lhe cmphastzlpg of good ones. The summit o! juvenile jauntiness is wretched q by a reefer of . snowy white Iyer a to which is attached a sailor col- lar o cc lar of dark blue serge and on which sparkle brass buUans. However, it 's adapCed only to those uncanny children who are opretui of their clothes. A walking suit may mean a close fit- ting cloth cutaway with a frotteur skirt in ankle length, or it may mean a di - reclaim coat of Shantung with •e skirt that sweeps the floor by beveral inches, and with unabashed assurance the Par- lsienne will inform you that both skirls are short. Sands that suggest the tunic are more ractical for waking skirls than 'the: tunic draperies that are seen at their best In the soft materials of house gowns and evening dresses. The line of trim arung that is most generally becoming dips towards the. fron s. t and ri •'s on the s.drist giving a slight forward move- ment. The designers of children's clothes ad - hero to simplicity In style and the mak- ers try (o avoid the mistake of over - trimming. They are made dainty, with hand run tucks, brier stitched or regaled bands, lnsels of fine lace, cm sprays of embroidery, but the embroi- dery and lace should be used in. small quantities and suggest the idea of fin- ish. One of the most beautiful while serge gowns has a direotolre coat with lapels and cuffs of lavender silk. The skirt Is fitted up high above the waist in a way revealed by the coal, and in the front are two tiny flaps ,piped with lavender. The front gore is outlined by lavender piping and small Lucks, commencing at the hips, and are continued for a dis- tance down the skirt. MAN EATING TIGER.

EASY WAY TO REMEMBER DATES. All you Require is to Comndl These Lines to Memory. The following lines committed to mem- ory, give an easy meliiod of stating off- hand the day of the week of tory date in 1908; - Just a mother's arms, my jocund Jean; A spell o'er Nature's dream, The number of letters In each word represents the date of the fins! Saturday in the particular month to which it cor- responds; thus, "Just" for January, has four letters, because the first Saturday in January is the fourth of that month; "a," representing February, has ono letter, as Se first Saturday in February is the first day of that month; and so on through al. the twelve months, Each word of the twelve, excepting the first "a," begins with the same letter its the month it represents. Thus, "Just" begins with "J" because January begins with "J"; "mother's begins with "incl be- cause March begins with "M"; and so on Bethrough, with the exception of "a" for February. Having obtained the dates of the first Saturdays, the dale of every other Satur- day in the month is got by the addition of the necessary number of sevens, from which it is but a step to any intermediate day. For example, to know the day nn which Christmas Day Salts this year, "dream," standing far December, has five letters, so the first Saturday in December is the 5th of 1•hat month; the second Sat- urday is tho 12th; the Third the 19111; the 25th, being six days more, gives Friday, six days on from Saturday.

EMPEROR OF GERMANY 11AS FORTY-NINE HOMES, IIUT PAYS NO 'EtXES. Would Have Showiest Village In the World if Ile Could Bring All His (louses Totelher, The Kaiser Is trying le have his pay raised. loo finds it utterly impossible to ploy ileo role of the great and only Wil- liam on a mere 39,000,000 a year. The Prussian Diet will be asked to make a substantial addition to this tax on the ratepayers, and itis expected that there will be a lively protest- For IL will be remembered that Prussia assurnes the whole burden of the civil list, Emperor William taking on the job of Kaiser of the German empire without pay, writes a Kerlin, Germany, cor•respondort. The reason !riven for this request for higher wages Is the feat that the cast of living has increased materially in Ger- many and that his majesty's chamber- lains erg no longer able to run his "49 castles" as cheaply as beretoforo. What the Kaiser does with all his cas- tles is a subject for speculation with all but the initialed. I! they could all be bunched they would form a good -steed village -and a village more pretentious San any other in the whole world. Some of his place's are ol• enormous size and most of thorn are showy in their construc- tion and style. As a matter of fact, though, they are all in German parlance called kaiserliches schloss (imperial castle), very few of them, such as the widely known palaces at Berlin and at Potsdam. are really castles in the strict sense of the 'word, Many of them, for- merly built as strongholds, perched upon peaks, or squatted in the middle of marshes in order to make them impreg- nable against attack, have given way to ambitious modern palaces. But the word schloss is now applied to any house et considerable size which a nobleman owns and occupies. Among the Kaiser's Berlin palaces the royal castle on the Spree is one of the largest and probably TIIE MOST FAMILIAR tr, tourists. Originally it was of very modest. proportions but from time to time additions have been made, keeping pace with the growth of influence and power of the Hohenzollerns, The castle is gaudy, raw and pretentious in construc- tion. The walls outside are of stucco instead of stone masonry. .The preten- tit:us columns of the salons indoors are 01 imitation marble while the same key- note of show and pretense governs the whole structure and all its details. One more interest is the Charlotten- burg Castle, a structure much plainer and of pater construction. It is situated in a charming parte and is extraordinary for its great length. Five hundred metres, I believe, are the correct figures. At any rate I know that it is only beaten in this respect by Sohonburg, near Vien- na, and Nymphenburg in Batavia. This place was the home of the late Emperor Frederick III. during his lest short stay in Berlin. The mausoleum in the park is the burial -place of Queen Louisa of Prussia and of her grandson, William, the first German, Emperor. One of the most interesting of Kaiser William's places, historically, is Schloss Koenigsberg, in the province of East Prussia. This castle, which was finished in 1261, wns a famous stronghold of the order of the Teutonic Knights, one of the three great military, and religious orders lo which the Crusaders gave birth, the other two being the Templa•s and the KNIGIITS Oh' SAINT JOHN. At one time the order was undisputed roaster of a population of 3,000,000 people and played a loading role in the political history of Northern Europe. In the chap- el of this famous castle Frederick 11I, Elector of Brandenburg, aroevned himself as Frederick I, king of Prussia, In 1701. One hundred and fifty years later, Wil- liam, who was afterward to be the first Garman emperor, put upon his head the same crown in the sane chapel, Perhaps the most widely ]mown royal home outside of Berlin is Wilheimshohe, near Cassel, the summer resort of Jer- ome Bonaparte while he was king of Westphalia The Versatles of Germany, as it has been called, was begun by Frederick 1h and furnished by his succes- sor, William, and It is said that 2,000 work- men were employed for fourteen years in its construction. Its chief boast is the great fountain, which throws up a fist of water twelve feet in diameter to the remarkable height of 190 feet. Na- poleon I1I., who was made prisoner at Sedan with 90,000 of his troops and after- ward was sent by his raptors to Wil- helrnshohe Castle, was a great admirer of the place and used to spend hours watching the stream of water shooting tip Into the air, But all of the Kaiser's other landed peresessions, be they proud castles, pre- tentious modern palaces or extensive villas, sink into insignificance, historic- ally, when compared with one small, ALMOST SIJABBY COTTAGE situated at half an hour's distance by rail from Berlin. This place is calved hoenigs-Wusterhausen and once it was a Tames hunting -ground, situated in. the. heart, as it is, of a very large forest. To this day the woods are still frequently secured by loyal sportsmen. The castle is a plain, solid building resembling In appearance a respectable farmhouse of the second best. ltaenigs-Wusterhausen was the favor- ite summer resort, of Frederick William L, the second king of Prussia, one of the most remarkable monarchs that ever sat on a throne, and the fattier of Frederick the Great. Here he spent a few months every year and here ho gave full, wore strained ventto the cruel, savage, brutal aspects of his nature, rendering the lives of his queen and id's children a vary hell upon earth.

The training periods are occupied only with drill and teaks; tre all-tm- portant matter matter of shooting Is lett k the individual soldier to carry out at other times, and he does ft under the auspices of the shooting societles which RAI such a feature of Swiss life. These societies, under government melted, are called Schuizengeseilschaf- ten Ue the German, and Socictes de Tir in the French cantons. They are volun- tary associatlen.s, varying in size and importance with the town or village they serve. Those in the larger towns pose Geer CO Ip'etely fitted ranges and club- houses; the small villages do their shone inp in any field backed by a suitable All. Every peasant and townsman has easy facilities for shooting, and each men has his service rifle always in his possession. Every man between the ages of twen- ty and thirty-two must fire thirty-two shots in four compulsory exercises every year, and the societies reoeive a grant K two francs for every soldier sheet- ing this course on their ranges. The in- come derived from the grants gem rally suffices for the current expenses of the society, supply of targets and pay of marker.

In addition to these exercises, many competiteons are held between different villages, towns and cantons.
