"Hr Cruel Competition.
From tho counters where small luxuries
and necessities are reft llko tho proverbial
hot cakes, the bargain spirit rises clean up
to tho ready mado suits department. In
this department, because of tho ever im
proving cut and fit, tho free., lanco dress
makers and tailors have felt this spring
tho crudest competition. It was a very
short tlnio agu tfiat anyone, with a good
eyo for line and color and tho quality of
goods, could tell n woman dressed from tho
ready-mado department nil the way down
the street, separating her from her
specially tailored or contourlcrcd Bister as
easily as one distinguished tho goat from
tho sheep. That is tho day of tho past,
however, as Is ably illustrated by n quar
tet of smart gowns that substantiate this
assertion.

Two of tho suits aro for tho morning and
one of them shows .how stitching is still
most udvautageously used, in black on a
pure rosy-lllae cloth. There is a touch of
cream laco at tho throat and wrists and
buttons of silver and amethyst aro addi
tional points of light and color on. skrt
and waist. Tho companion gown to this Is
a cool smoke-gray and turqunlse-blue

wjth gray. Theso ngrccablo llttlo costumes

Women are Just now putting money aside
to buy themselves fibulas, as are called tho
now and fascinating pins which aro worn to
hold their fichus, bits of drapery' and neck,
ties together. So few comparatively of
them have as yet been soen thai It may not
be amiss to describe a fibula. Out of gold
wlro a scroll similar to a, largo S Is made,
or it may perhaps be better de
scribed as similar to the sign of
the treble which is placed nt tho
beginning of a bar of' music? At Its
back is a very long and firm pin, which,
titer it has passed horizontally through the
material on which It fs worn, eomes out
again and goes over the bottom part of tha
scroll before finally hiding its point in tho
igown. ' Now the greatest point In favor of
this new pin is that after it has been so
fastened It cannot bo Jerked out by any ex
traneous force. In fact, to get it. out at all
a little manipulation is necessary. Tho S,
as it may be called for convenience, has to
bo turned upward so na to unfasten itsolf
(rom tho pin. which has passed oyer It, nijd
not until this Is done can the long part bo
drawii out.

reauy new. Long ago tho Romans devised

mentation nro very pretty and useful, and
are to be had for about $3, tho lowest round
of tha ladder. Again they arc seen with one
seml-preclous stone set at tho end of the
coll. These" aro hardly more costly, tho
medium sited ones averaging about $4 or $5.
The truly pretty ones, however, havo a
llttlo bunch of Irregular pearls, turquoises,
moonstones or oven diamonds dangling
from the larger part of the S. i Each ono of
these stones is suspended by a little gold
chain nd the whole bnncb measures not

Is very noticeable the 'sparkle they make
when worn on a soft evettng bodlco. or
they are equally attractive when attached

an orderly, compact look.
At present the school girls arc having

a time when such cxqulslto charms were to

fishes aro seen which are flexible and hardly
half nn Inch long; thon thero Is the ubiquit

Anions tho newer things are tiny envelopes
of gold with nn enameled ttamp In tho
corner nnd the owner's name engraved on
tho face. They open In quite the regular
way and have within a little thin card of
gold which can bo taken out when desired.
Should such n llttlo thing be presented tis
a gift It Is customnry to havo engraved on
tho card, "From Emily," or "Anne," or
whatever the donor's name may be. Occa

I'oul lively Xecronmntlc In It Ilennll
fyltiK HfTcctN.
Science nover stands still, at least with
regard to tho evolution of tho corset, Tho
latest achievement bt the capable stay
maker Is tho Charmlnu. that makes n very
special appeal to tho woman whose bust nnd
hip measuro has nover been up to the aver
age, nnd who has been forced to depend
upon tho very unrellablo hair and cotton
pad.
Tho Charmlan, to tho casual glance. In
Just an ordinary graceful, lightly boned,
long walBted,sllk not stay, and within Is
lined with a vory flno skin of silk rubber,
thin a's tho skin of a child's toy balloon,
but very much stronger. At the bottom of
the stny In front Is an nlr valvo and air
tight cap, so that when tho corset Is to bu,
worn a tiny pump Is used to fill the Inner
skin of tho stay with olr. When the cor
set is laced nnd hooked Into place tho su
perfluous air slowly iiqueoxes. out, leaving
only tho hollows full. Finally, when tho
wearer decides on Just tho fullness of curvo
dcs.Ircd, she. scrows, tho cnjp.pn tho air valve,
ang.Ainiess ny some accident, na a cruol pin
poking Its meddlesome point through tho
outer coating of the corset and clean Into
pno, of, tho hollows where the air .has set
tled, there can be no two opinions ns to tho
Just and exqulBlto proportions of her plump
but lissom figure.
While theso pneumatic stays, are a Joy
forever to the women below weight, thcro
Is Just as much rejoicing In tho adlposo
tlssuo ranks over n recent arrival from
Paris called La Serpento, that Juggles with
flesh In tho most necromantic fashion.
The Serpentine, as we Anglicize the name
of this stay. Is mado of a heavy silk und
linen material, tho boning being done with
the thinnest ribbons of aluminum, and thu
front ribs and hooks nro mado of the same.
A, STRINQ OKAY I1ATISTE. TRIMMED
i WITH nUACK EMPIRE LACE.
This corset laces In three separate soc
lions. In tho top behind, down Just to tho
waist line and all tho rear portion, Is boned
with aluminum strips laterally Instead of
perpendicularly. Ily testing Jt It has been
found that this arrangement enables tho
wearer to put n strong but not uncomfort
able prcssuro on fat shoulder blades and
keep them flat and straight. In front two
lines of laces run on either side from tha
bottom up to tho waist line, and tho flesh
is thus packed in with an evenness of pres
sure that can bo secured In no other way.
Up to time as tho Serpentine wtaya are,
they arc hardly newer or moro popular than
the peignoir stays, that nlso hall from tho
productive workshop of tho Parisian cor
setalre. Tho Parisian womnp who Insists
on posing as a beauty and a herolno oven
before hor own maid Is at no'tlrae divested
of stays of some sort or other until, Ilka
King Louis and his wig, she lays them aside
on getting Into bed.
There nro few Parisian wrinkles,' how
over, that tho Amorlcan woman Is, slow to
approve of nnd adopt, und tho peignoir cor
set is the result of tho new conviction that
even In her dressing gown and the privacy
of her own bedroom tho modish woman
must bo of Irrcproachablo figure. A peig
noir stay docs not couflno the body any
where and is as light almost as a linen
corset covor. It Is made of open meshed
but tough grass llueu or cream batiste and
1st stiffened only with thin ribs of Japanese
bamboo. Jt does not lace behind at all, but
folds about the body Ilka a basque and haa
pretty little ornamental hooks In front.
About tho bust and arms It Is not low
enough to give the arms all the freedom
and the lungs all tho expansion necessary.
In somo cases these stays nro boned with
n bamboo that nan ns rich an odor ns san
dal wood and sometimes they are mado cf
pieces of exquisite old broendo nnd their
hooks down tho front are set with old
paste, for In tho matter of corsets there
continue to bo many Inventions nnd n lav
lshmcnt of rich detail that outdoes all pre
vious records.

It is one of the prevailing fancies, for In-

The broud crescent-shaped bottom of the

A dream that cume to Mrs. Jessie II.
Hlgley ot Nlles, Col., not long ago has
proved to bo worth at least 5,000 to her,
and she may reallzo a much larger amount
from It. Bho'bas boen offered the sum
named for the pioduet of hor dream, but re
gards it as worth far moro and will re
fuse the offer.
This utilitarian dreamer is tho wife of
Seward O. Hlgley, tho station agout of
the Southern Pacific company at Nlles.
They havo lived In that quiet community
for some years and Mrs. Hlgley's house-'
wifely losttncta have become proverbial.
Her houso Is nlwnys "Just so," nnd when
things do not go right Mrs. Hlgley mokes
them go her way. If thero Is anything
new that will add to the comfort of her
home Mrs. Hlgley secures It.
Among some of her recent additions to
the household furniture are Iron beds. The
beds proved very K"u but tho nrtlstlo
eye of tho housewife was offended by tho
lack of drapery, about tbem. Then sho
found to her sorrow that there was no
satisfactory method known to tbp trado
of adding drapwry to an iron bed so that It
could be removed quickly when cleaning
or sweeping the room was In order.
The lack of this contrivance was such
an annoyance to the lady that she
dreamed about It, and in that dream shi
aw Just what was nectsiary to make the
henrti of th housewtvtt In the country
glad. Bh did not wait for the dream to
become dim, but got right up and made n
rough drawing nnd description of what she
had seen. The next day sho worked It
out' cnrrfiilly, had n sample made and tt
few days ago received her patents cover
