New You.;. .7an. 12.—A pretty, pi-
quant face in Vr a quaint, hat trimmed
with bright laid ribbons, surrounded
with a fluff u. golden curls and setting
apparently uj n a disk of velvet in form
of a collar, is ■ pleasant sight. The col-
lar somehow closes invisibly and ap-
pears to rest upon
the shoulders,
'and there end
under a (lat band
of lioniton point
lace. Then the
sleeves begin, and
the fullness of

sleeves are of 1 lie

style, coming
well down on the
hand and piped
around the edge
with satin piping.
The waist and
sleeves and hat
are all of black
NOVEL WALKING cos- velvet. Thoskirt
TCMK. js of hairline
cheviot in gray and white, and around
tho bottom are four rows of velw-t rib-
bon in graduated widths. There is a
tied bow in the back with long cuds.
None but a very young, pretty and dar-
ing girl could wear this outfit, but the
one who does will create a sensation.
Just now anybody can wear anything,
and some of the garments are fearfully
and wonderfully made. Now and then
one falls upon a plain and ladylike gown
or whole costume or a cloak whose chief
beauty lies in the simplicity of its design
and the grace of its outline.
The handsomest cloak for a middle
aged lady that I have seen within a
month was one made of serge, close and
fine weave. The cloak opened on the
left side, with ten black bone buttons.
All around the bottom was a double row
of stitching. The sleeves were velvet,
gigot shape, with a velvet collar. The
toque was of black velvet, with scarlet
bird's wings. The cloak was lined wit u
black fanner's satin and interlined so
that it was warm enough for the coldest,
days and handsome enough for any oc-
casion.
A long cloak with a cape for a young
lady also attracted' my attention. 1 i
was of thick dark blue cheviot, and the
cloak part was cut princess shape and
just touched the ground and was bor-
dered all around with black bearskin.
The cape was gathered on a yoke made
of beaded cloth, and there was a curious-
ly flaring collar, which can be likened to
nothing under the sun. The hat worn
with this was black felt, with black
plumes and a metallic blue iiigret.
There were cuffs of fur mul a small muff
to complete the costume. The cloak
was lined with black satin and was very
handsome without being fussy,
Among the new wraps 1 noticed—yes,
and admired—was one of heavy black
Lyons velvet, embroidered in high relief
in black silk. All around the wrap was a
thick fringe of silk, headed by a band of
crocheted rings. There never has been
anything in the way of trimming Dr
black as rich and suitable as crocheted
trimming and silk embroidery, and its
popularity has outlasted generations.
The new summer goods arc being
brought out now in the early importing
houses and in a few weeks will be
shown for the benefit of those who get
their summer gowns made during Lent,
when they have time for fitting and de-
signing, for nearly all the “summer
girls" have a more or less fixed idea of
what their own dresses should bo.
Among the novelties is a thin brocade
silk almost transparent. It is soft and
yet tough and is exceedingly pretty, it
is always in one color, and the colors
range through Pompeiian red. pistachio,
willow green, dahlia and puce, two rich
dark purples and peach, strawberry and
a brilliant purple. With the purple tur-
quoise blue is used as a complement,
with what I think disastrous effect as
far as good taste gqos. Peach and st raw-
oci ry coiur are put togetner, and red and
violet.
Among the more delicate shades are
maize, china rose, dove, dun and smoke.
All these are seen in these light brocade
suks, out the changeable effects will be
as popular as ever, more so, perhaps,
since I observe some of them in cotton
goods and ginghams, as well as in sev-
eral of the new cotton corduroy effects.
Among tlie new zephyrs are exquisitely
fine designs and soft, delicate colors, the
center block having a changeable effect.
There iA a cotton serge that is novel,
and draped it is difficult to distinguish
it from wool serge. Home is single, some
double width. The prospect now is that
there will lie much ecru lace and henqien
lace used on summer suits, and also the
heavier white laces.
The new cotton corduroy cloth will he
worn for mornings. It is plain, striped,
figured and changeable, and there is a
of patterns to choose from,

There are several beautiful new de-

rical, hi very soft and pleasing colors.
Sateens and india silks art* nearly al-
ways of the same patterns uml colors,
and india silks will probably bo more
popular than over. The quality of the
silk is good and tho colors becoming
and the patterns pleasing, and there is
Miiueihing in the feel of a silk gown
nicer than any other material.

he enjoys a certain amount of liberty
the rules of Ste. Pelagie being anything
but severe.
He had trouble at college when a lad,
and after holding an official appointment
for a few months resigned, declaring
that he “would rob the state no longer."
Then he went to writing, and as a jour-
nalist, dramatic author and maker of
books has proved remarkably fecund and
fairly successful. His notoriety, however
is based on his war against the Jews
He was born m 1844 and is six feet tall
with black hair, black eyes and a thick
black heard. He has a high forehead and
a large mouth, and he always wears
spectacles. When not in prison he re-
sides alone in the Rue de I'Umversite

which ran through 150 editions. Dm
tnont lias written many other works
In 1878 lie brought out “The National
Holidays” m Paris; in 1879. “My Uhl
Paris,” which was "crowned”* by the
French academy. He then wrote a
novel, “Lo Dernier des Treinolin,” which
was a tremendous failure. After these
publications he came out as a pamphlet-
eer and placed himself at the tiead of
the anti-Semite movement in France
After “La France Juive" came 'La
France Juive Devant l’Opimon,” “La
tin ,iu Monde” (“The End of the World”)
"La Dermero Eataille” (“The Last Bat-
tle"), "Le Testament d’un Antisemite”
(“The Will of an Anti-Semite”) and but
a few months ago “Le Secret de Four
mies," which created another sensation
When called upon to explain the final
end that he dreams of in Ins formidable
campaign against the Jews he was wont
to reply, “1 wish to see formed an ini
mense court of justice, whose duty it
shall be to revise all fortunes that have
been wrongly acquired, and which shall
decide at the same time what measures
are to be adopted to place such persons
in a position that they shall be no louger
able to continue their plunderings.”

Proposed Lines Across the Continent and
Under the Ocean.
[Special Correspondence.]
New York, Jan. 12.—“When are you
going to talk to Sail Francisco?” is a
quest'-on that has been asked of tele-
phone experts in a dozen cities a great
many times since the opening of the
longest telephone line in the world—that
from New York to Chicago.
The question was asked by a man in
Chicago the other day, and the answer
wras that, although nobody could tell
when the thing would come about, it. was
doubtless a future possibility. An ex-
pert in New York said, “If the managers
of the Long Distance Telephone com-
pany should ask this office for estimates
on a line to Han Francisco 1 haven’t a
doubt that the estimates-would he forth-
coming.”
The truth is that the science of elec-
tricity and the art of telephoning have
reached a degree of development that
makes possible all sorts of calculations
touching things that once won by guess.
Before the lino from New York to Chi-
cago was built the telephone managers
felt reasonably certain that it would
■work satisfactorily, though they called
it an experimental line. The men who
do tho figuring had come to the belief
that a J-incli hard drawn copper wire,
weighing 4lid pounds to ihe mile, would
enable New York and Chicago to talk
with each other. Experiments made by
joining several shorter circuits till the
distance equaled the 950 miles between
the two cities seemed to pi o\ e 1 hat the
smaller wire us; d in thc-e shore r cir-
cuits would not do for the propos* d long
one and confirmed ihe reports of the
men who had been figuring on the prob-
lem in the office.
When the time comes for talk across
the continent, from tho Atlantic to tho
Pacific, like calculations and like ex-
periments will determine the necessities
of the case, it has been demonstrated
that telephoning is possible over a line
950 miles in length, and that being the
case tho long distance system, which
now does not extend farther south than
Washington or farther north than Buf-
falo and Portland, may be extended to
far southern cities and up into Canada.
By the time this has been done part of
the distance between Chicago and San
Francisco will have been bridged, and it
will be possible to bitch loget lx r five or
six of these long circuits, and thus to ob-
tain for experiment a line as long as the
distance between New York and San
Francisco.
Scientific electricians have a formula
for calculating the utmost possibilities of
talk by telephone with hard drawn cop-
per wire as the medium. The thing to
do is to get the highest tensile strength
with the least electrical resistance. 1/
the wire now in use could b- gn atly re-
duced in diameter without a ou r. -pond-
ing reduction in tensilesirengtli. lie*
mediate possibilities of telephoning
would be enormously widened.
The experts own that there is an error
somewhere in the formula by which
they determine the possible limits of
telephoning, and they are hard at it try •
ing to find the error and to get rid of it
Meanwhile if somebody will find a bet-
ter medium than hard drawn copper
wire another great stride will be possi-
ble. The experts say, however, that no
such medium is likely to be discovered.
Telephoning across the Atlantic is a
theoretical possibility, and nobody
knows how soon it may become an ac-
complished fact. No syllable has ever
passed between the two continents by*
way of the existing cables, but a clever
expert has suggested a method of getting
at least one note through, and another
man has taken out a patent on the process.
The immediate difficulty of telephon-
ing by the present Atlantic cables lies in
tho fact that they work too slowly. To
transmit the note C to ihe human ear by
the existing Atlantic cables it would he
necessary t > send hack and forth 950
vibrations in a second. But the cables
cannot come anywhere near such a feat.
The patented process of sending an
American musical C to Great Britain
involves the use of the phonograph.
The scheme is to sound the note into a
phonograph at this end of the line and
Set the phonograph going very slowly, so
that tlie vibrations of the note, which
would be inaudible to human ears, shall
be communicated to the cable, transmit-
ted under the ocean and received on an-
other slowly revolving phonograph be-
yond the ocean. The record made, the
phonograph could be set a-going at a
rapid rate of speed, and the note would
he ground out with sufficiently rapid vi-
brations to he audible to British ears.
The process would be a very slow one,
however, and as all the mechanical ap-
pliances would have to he very nicely
adjusted and at great expense the ex-
periment has not yet been tried.
It may be tried one of these days, how-
ever. and the more sanguine electrical
experts prophesy telephoning between
Europe and America, Nobody, how-
ever. is going to lay an enormously ex-
pensive cable just for fun or even in the
interest of electrical science, and in tho
present state of tlie art of telephoning
such a cable to Europe could not be a
commercial success.
