Early Victorian fashions are theeatere.
ed -there is no other word to express
the situation. There are certainly
many charming details of this period in
drese, but the general effect was un-
becoming, clumsy and best suited to hide
any natural grace or slender lines. Exag-
gerated Empire styles are also menacing
public safety and even decency, for with
the tendency to over -exaggeration of any
eccentricity of dress that prevails to
such an alarming extent nowadays the
weak points in fashion are always eag-
erly seized upon by the great bend .of
would-be eonspicuous- women, and in
theee fashions lurk possibilities of exag-
geration and eccentricity too appalling
to contemplate.
Narrow Skirts Still Fashionable.
Narrow .skirts will not be banished,
unfortunately, but the ugly, so-called
hobble skirt well not be considered
smart. It never has. been so considered
by really well -gowned women, although
It ha.s had a wondram popularity. The
scant but not exaggeratedly- tight skirt
can be attractive in appearance, provid-
ed there is emeugh width just above the
knees; when there isenot, enough width
the skirt draws in to the figure in most
ungraceful and unbecoming effect. The
neweet •stylee in skirts are quite compli-
cated, but all apparently are designed to
give thevanpearance of being quite scant
arounl the ankles, fortunately calling
for More width above -two and a half
and two yards in width is perhaps an
Improvement over the narrower models
of the autumn, when okirts less than
two yards wide were attempted as a
fasbion.
Transparent Fabrics Popular.
Ss.tin is again t� be fashionable as a
raaterial for spring and Bummer, a much
ii4hter weight, of necessity, than has
been used for the winter costumes, but
not the too light Weight, for that is not
appropriate. BlacICLiberty satin gowns,
as well as the coat and skirt styles, will
be made up in the various designs that
have already appeared. For the day-
time tile short skirt will continue to be
in etyle, but in late afternoon and even-
ing, the lofiger train will once more be
popular. This applies espetially to black
satin. Black crepe de Chine, plain and
figured, is to be smart, and in. colors as
well as black the figured or brocaded
orepe de Ohines are most effective -not
in any conspicuoweemy, simply from the
beauty of design and coloring.
Silk voile, martinette and, in fact, all
thin, tmnsparent fabrics, are exhibited
In endless variety' and are to be most
popular this spring and summer. Mak-
ing up gray, white and light materials
over dark fancy linings is one of the
marked styles this season, and, although
not absolutely a new idea, is carried out
so auccessfully as to give the appear-
ance of being quite the latest notion.
It seems a strange state of affairs, an
odd taste, that demands that not only
the lining Wont' but the trimming, far
richer than the outer drapery, should
be underneath and only show through
the transparent fabric. In contradi-
tinetion to this. the lining of satin and
cloth coats with chiffon has been
thought very smart for some time. A
brocade lining trimmed with bands of
lace or passementerie is veiled with

space left that is felled in with the
trimming. It must be confessed the of -

ance of a delightful deeregard Of ex-
pense, for there are in this fashion two
entire gowns, both of good material.
SHORT COAT DOMINATES ALL.
A Smart Suit in the New Bachus Red
With Some Clever Touches.
It has been evident for a ecasen
that the woman who marlices with
the modes hae said good -by to the
long jacket, and has taken indeed a
hip coat, so called because it extends
a few short inches only below the
waist. Having perpetrated thie drastic
change she discovers many interesting
pinta in the new model.
She finds that the fancy for one-sided
effects brings into prominence a patch
pocket upon the waist line on the left
and none at all on the other side, a col-
lar of a decidedly erratic tendency wid-
ening at one side only into rovers, and
a ela,nting fastening in front compassed
by tortoise -shell buttons set together
closely.
Fascinating White Gowns.
The white gowns for the coming sea:
eon are fascinatingly beautiful. Exqui-
site laces and embroideries are combined
with rare skill, so that each sets off the
other's perfection of detail. The most
popular of the lace gowns are on sim-
ple flat liaes; the figure -that is, the
upper part -is sharply ontlined. If there
are folds of materiel they aro very flat
and do not conceal any natural lines.
Some of the skirts are made with a
scant flounce, sometimes two flounces;
others are all long, straight lines, for
the straight lines are still in demand.
Most exquisite embroidery, hand
work, in silk or in the material itself, is
a noticeable feature of the new gowns,
and this trimming forms a heavy, deep
deign around. the skirt, It sometimes is
finished at the hem with a fold of
satin, silk, velvet or chiffon, and this
is really more effective than the ma-
terial itself. The colors of the embroi-
dery are the subject of much thought.
Whether the same color as the gown
or several different shades of the mune
will be best. or whether some striking
contrast will be the most effective, in-
dividual taste or the taste of the de-
signer has to decide. The craze for the
China and pearl bead embroidery which
is now rampant over the land has a cer-
tain but limited infloenee, and beads
are interspersed throughuut some of
the most elaborate pattern. This has
nothing to do with the beaded embroi-
deries of all kinds or the beaded net
gowns, be it understood, which are quite
another order of work.
Among the newest models are many
very remarkable ones, both from the
standpoint of current fashions and
from that of traditional good taste.
Every law of dress, save alone that de-
manding originality to the point of ec-
centricity, is violated by some of the
models, which are declared to be ex-
tremely smart and which have, in fact,
the quality of startling one into an
amazed interest, if not admiration. A
simple blouse costume -there seems no
other word to deecribe the loosely fit-
ting bodice, which blouses very obvious-
ly over the belt, made of Liberty Bilk
--has, for instance, a most elaborate
garniture of eyelet hole embroidery
around the skirt. There is no trimming
on the bodice at all. The blouse buttons
down the front, is cut with a round
neck and elbow sleeves. The girdle is
broad and made of gathered material,
producing the effect of an enormous
waist line. The skirt is pleated and also
has the effect of being fastened down
the front. Except for the elaborate
garniture before mentioned the cos -
time is one that would formerly have
been considered a girlishly simple froek
suited only to the ingenue in her hours
o cfaso, but the striking ekirt trimming
quite takes the frock out of this Mlles,
and yet the extremely informal. Ileaign
seems scarcely suited to any oemr.
COIFFURE HIDING THE EARS.
In dressing the hair Dane Fashion de -
areas that the ear, however pretty,
shall vanish from view, exeepting only
the lobe, a glimpse of which is permitted
beneath waved or curling tresses. To the
girl who wishes to look her best this
style is a boon, for few are blessed with
welaformed ears, though meet girls have
the pink flush of youth and health in the
lobe, where artists assert it is aheolutely
essential to good lookS.
Many girls are born with ear5 that
would grow shapely if they were ;lot ill-
treated. This does net mean abuse, but
neglect. It is said that soft feather pil-

Graceful.
At the back, although the coat is
still short, the effect secured is that
of long and graceful lines, a suggestion
cleverly devised by the agency of a flat,
straight panelawhich begins between the
shoulders and meets the skirt panel, Thu
the grace of the abandoned coat is re-
tained and at the same thno the craving
for novelty is gratified. The sleeves,
that just cover the elbows are furnish-
ed With Cavalier cuffs And in the case
under discussion are edged with gold
braid.
The Sikrt.
A pointed lap -over effect is shown at
the front of the skirt corresponding with
that of the little jacket. With this clev-
er suit is worn a lingerie shirt. The
lingerie shirt has come into the fore-
most rank of fashionable items again,
and that it is practically the Only type
of shirt that the smartly -garbed wo-
man seems disposed to favor.
The skirt is so modeled that it ex-
tends in the corselet manner above the
natural waist -line, and to keep it trim-
ly in its place there is a belt beneath
it, cunningly boned and capable of giv-
ing it support, By clever contrivances of
this kind the tailors achieve that neat-
ness of aspect •that is the hall -mark of
their success.

(22. 41-46), for his murderers (23; 34),

LESSON XL -MARCH 12, MIL
Elisha the Prophet Restores a Ohild

8-17). Elieha'e work called Idea to Visit
various parts of the kingdom. Ile was

ests of the nation, one of his important,
labors being to care for the different

table and. a light, all that Waa °mental
to his comfort. Whenever he saw fit to
occopy the room it was at his dispoeal.
So -mat was Elisha's appreciation of
the kindness shown him that he offered
to aek a favor for the family from the
king or the head a the army, but the
woman of Shunem was contented and de -
'sired that no request be made. Upon
asking his servant, Gehaei, what could
be done in return for all the favors
shown by the family, the suggestion was
made that the family was childless,
whien was considered by Orientals to
be a grave misfortune. The prophet
therefore predicted that in a year a son
would 'Ideas their home, and the pro-
phecy was fulfilled.
II. Sorrow in the Home (vs, 18-24).
When the child was perhaps six or Moen
ware old he found his way to the hat -
vest field, where his father and his men
were at work, and was suddenly taken
sick, suffering no doubt from sunstroke,
for Thomson says, "I know by experience
that this country glows like a furnace in
h,arvest time." Being taken to his
mother by a servant, he was held in her
lap until he died. This child of promise,
who had been the joy and light of the
home since his birth, was dead, and the
affliction seemed mysterious. As if there
;night be virtue in tho prophet's room
to restore life, the anxious mother plac-
ed her dead child upon the bed there.
Without telling her husband of the
bov's death, she hastened toward Mount
Carmel, where she hoped to find Elisha
and acquaint him with the calamity
which had befallen her home. Mounting
the beast of burden she gave direction
to the servant, who walked or ran be-
hind the animal as the driver, not to
slacken his speed except at her com-
mand, as if she believed that the restor-
ation of the child's life depended upon
her presentation of her affliction to the
prophet at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

TORONTO MARKETS,
LIVE STOOK,
The presence of a few buyers from
outside points contributed as much as
anything else to render trade more mo-
tive and prices somewhat more steady
than has been the 4480 for a week past.
The run for the past two days
together was hardly heavier than that
of Monday, which fact was ;mother con-
tributory cause. At any rate business
was brighter, bidding quicker and sell-
ing a more profitable transaction than
for some few days. Three good heifers
weighing 1,400 pounds apiece, were sold
for $6,15 per cwt., and one or two loads
of choice steers and heifers fetched
$5.85. Taken altogether, however, there
were not many fine cattle marketed,
and the average price for the best offer-
ing was between $5.60 and. $5,75. Me-
dium butcher cattle ranged from $5 to
$5.60. Bulls were steady at around $5
to $5d0, and good butcher cows brought
$5,25 in some cases. Canners were from
$2 to $2.50 per cwt. Trade opened brisk,
but slowed. up a little before the con-
clusion and prices were at the close very
little changed from Tuesday.
Sheep and lambs were unexpectedly
strong. Good lambs weighing from 90
to 100 pounds wore much in demand,
and were about 25e higher. The quota-
tions were from ,$6.10 to .75. Sheep
were quoted from 84.25 to $4.851 and in
some mums as high as was paid. Hogs
were unchanged in price, although they
were considerably weaker at $6.75 f.o.b.,

Rome ,March 5. -Prof. La Marca, who
a while ago discovered the existence of
it criminal secret society called the
"Calabria family of fire," which Is iden-
tified with the American Black Hand,
says its growth in numbers and power
threatens to supplant the Camorra and
Mafia. The "Family's"' importance and
strength hes been increased by returned
emigrants from America, whose reeruit-•
ing is so active that friends of Mama
have beem openly asked to join.
In Sicily the Calabria organization hae
been greatly improved. The members
are divided into groups under subordin-
ate chiefs, who are dependent upon a
Supreme Chief, a mysterious personage,
who, according to La Marca, lives in
Rome disguised as a priest. Formerly
only MeMbers of the lower classes be-
longed to the "Family,* but now persons
of standing, such as land owners, law-
yers and doctors, are joining the society,
which is gradually extending in Southern
Italy ana sioily.

BRADSIREE'll TRADE REVIEW
Montreal trade reports to Brad -
street's say there has been little change
in the situation there during the past
week. At the present moment ther
seems to be a lull in the general move-
ment of businees, such as is almost to
be expected just before the active open
ing of the spring trade, Local business
continues of fair proportions and winter
stocks are being cleared out !early sat-
isfactorily. New business for sprin
seems to be on the quiet side awaitin
a definite change to mild weather. Th
dry goods business has been of fair pro
portione. Millinery has opened out well
and there are prospects for a good sen -
son in this respect later on. The grocer
trade is about steady.
Toronto rtsports to Bradstreet's ea
spring lines continue to go forward i
fairly large shipments and prospetts fo
the coming season's trade continue mot
cheerful. Western orders in many line
of merchandise have continued unueu
ally good, while those from Ontario an
Eastern points have also been quit
satisfactory. Local retail trade holds u
well ,and there has evidently been som
fair buying of spring linos. A good bust
ness in house furnishings is reported t
bo opening up. Retail trade in th
country is suffering from bad roads, ai
is to be expected just at this time of tin
year. This also has affected the deliver
ies of country produce here and at othe
previncial points.( The millinery open
iugs, which took place recently, have s
far resulted in an excellent volume o
business.
Winnipeg reports say the present m
ment seems to be somewhat of a be
