MURRAY, The Aiclioneer. And Likely Fewer To Be Dress- ! ed. 100,000 { 'DEARER 'DRESSES. St. Thomas Journal. s The National Dressmakers' Associa tion has decreed that there shall be an increase of fifteen to twenty per cent, ih the price of gowns all over the country. No wonder President Roosevelt is alarmed over the possibility of race suicide. The prospect of adding mil- linery bills and dressmakers' bills to his already large assortment of ex- nses has deterred many a lonely chelor from marrying, and now that the numerous and varied '"'crea- tions" with which the lovely com- manding, imperious woman is wont to array herseli and make herseli so fascinating that she can't well be re- sisted are to cost more than ever, we feel that there will be a sharp slump in the wedding ring market. When our grandfathers and grand- mothers were young the cost of liv ing did not worry them much. They had the old-fashioned notion that happiness and contentment were to be found in enjoying what they had, in- stead of always wanting something more. -Now the problem of making ends meet is becoming more, and more a hindrance to matrimony. The cost of living has increased for the poor and for those in fairly good cir- cumstances until it is almost as ex- pensive to conduct a household as it is to conduct a business concern. Oh, well, we don't apprehend that Cupid will go out of business entire- ly, but things of this sort will keep many a man a bachelor and many a girl a maid. A Story Of Lord Curzon. London Tit-Bits, Here is a story of one of Lord Cur- zon's boyish 'ambitions. When he was appointed to the vice-royalty of India the - news created some surprise but in receiving the congratulations frem his fellow countrymen before his do- parture he stated that the office was one to which he had aspired while still at school. From : the time he firsi knew that the govermment house at Calcutta was a repliod of his ances- tral home, Kedléston Hall, near Der- by, he determined to occupy it as governor-general of India. When the old East India company i to erect a palace in Calcutta for the re- sidence of the viceroy they inspected all the stately homes of England in search of a model, The pall was aw- arded to Kedleston Hall, and the gov- ernor-generdl's house at Caleutta was accordingly built in facsimile 'of it. The Kaiser And Johnny Canuck. Rossland. Miner Canada's maximum dutics on im- ports from Germany are at least twen- ty-five fo thirty per cent less than the United States minimum. duties upon imports 'from Germany. Yet Germany enforced the maximum tariff afeinst the prodtcts of Canada, ' a 'country that admits German expoits on a scale of duties thirty per cent. lower than the . tariff of the United States; a country which enjoys the privileges of Germany's minimum . tariff." Emperor William's attempt fo discipline this country in favor of British was anexample of impudence that should have been resented at once. The Can. adian government has been slow to move, but at last Sir Wilfrid Laurier moved, and all Canada should praise Lis answer to the emperor. The' Reporter And The Doctor. The following conversation between a doctor and a newspaper man was overheard the other day : "I've met some newspaper men,' said the doctor, "and I don't like their ways. They're always trying to pry into: other people's business," "Well," reporter, "there's but one differénce between newspaper men and doctors that I can see. "And what's that ?"' asked the doc- tor. "You fellows dissect bodies and we dissect Brains. For my part I like the brain end of it." Then the doctor sst down and thought for several minutes. A Poor Medium Of Speech. Winnpeg Tribune dchn G. Whittier, the Quaker poet, onte in descriling the usages of the Quakers in regard to "speaking in meetings," said that sometimes the voluniary remarks were not guite to the edification of the meeting. It once happefied that a certain George C---- grew rather wearisome in his exhorta- tions, i his prudent brethren, after solemn®onsultation, passed the follow: i lution : "It is the sense of this meeting that George C--u be advised to remain silent until' such time as the Lord shall speak through J{weexLY FASHION 3!

New York, May 2.--The chronicler of the vagaries. of fashion has no . easy task to perform at the present mom- are s¢ many things that are new and beautiful and destined as well to enjoy but fleeting favor that it is as important that the prudent buyer should know what not as well as what to select. One ia'a'Ways sale in buying a can- vas, voile, etaiiing or mistral gown for street war or a foulard, tussare of linen d'Inde for dressy occasions, for all are light, graceful and with the exception of linen d'Inde durable and possess the element of being made over with good effect. ¢ x French voile in blue and black is | probably the most favored material for tailor suits. Many designs are made given the effect of a many-pieced mo- or Braid. 'he popular jacket has a skirt finish composed of ripples and broad tabs at the back, or simply postillion tabs bl mé¥ be used. Over the shoulders there are epauleties of the material or of silk which become very narrow the front and fall belows the waist-line in stole ends. These stoles are appliqued with Persian embroidery, lace medalli- ons or fancy stitching, according, to the individual taste. The strictly smart trimiging however, consists of tassels and frogs of silk. There is almost a tendency to exaggerate the pendant trimmings and the woman who is not careful in selecting her ornaments is apt to have a silhouette closely re sembling that of a beggar with rag- tags and hob-tails dangling every- where, with her gkirt, her jacket and sleeve all tattered and torn into fring es, swaying tassels, frayed edges and nodding tabs. ' A smart blue voile frock which shows some new ideas in trimming without being over done has the skirt fitted over the hips closely and flares decidedly at the bottom. At this point the widest of eight bands composed of the same material starts the trimming and each band becomes narrow until the ope at the top, just above the knees is a mere trifle of a half-inch or 80, The bodice is composed of sheer white linen d'Inde, embroidered in flowered design, hooking up the back with a stitched belt of the voile com- ing to a point in the front, while over the shoulders on either side is a wide box plait which comes over the white muslin to the point in front. The sleeves are of the embroidered white linen, being quite full from el- bow to waist and caught in embroid- ered cuffs at the waist. The entire bo- dice is made over the white silk, which harmonizes beautifully with the blue of the blouse and skirv. In dupli- cating such a gown it would of course not be necessary to use the embroider- ed Tinen for an under bodice, for any pretty shirt waist might be substitut- ed instead. The general effect, howev- er is graceldl and the design has the merit of becominghess to almost any figure. * . A pretty idea is shown in a nun's veiling gown, though it is somewhat expensive. The frock is lined with 'it self" in a harmonizing shade. A pret- ty substitute, and a serviceable one, is wash silk. Dark blue with lighter blue, or green, brown snd ecru qr red, and erimsoh and rose make pretty combinations and are much affected. For the woman who likes pale-tinted gowms there is a charming effect in champagne etgminé. The skirt has a deep yoke below which falls the wide sweeping flounte laid at the top in box plaits, 'whith flows freely a few in- ches from the yoke. Stitching is the only ornament of the skirt and the same trimming edges a. fanciful little jacket and ¢ape, The yoke T8*5t linéh embroidered af. ter the Hungarian fashion. The girdle is 'a gapricious affair, that crosses high in the back, between theJeft sides of the jacket.

As has been slated before in- this correspondence, the lawn and linen frocks for summer are exquisite. and express the luxiry in garniture which is applied to non-washable fabrics. One eof the prettiest designs-among the new exhibitions, however, is the simplest. The skirt is fitted closely about the hips and 'at the Knees there is a broad band of Mexican drawn work ith a single deep tuck above and be- ow, The bodice blouses over a belt of bluish' pink satin ribbon with fringed ends 'and is trimmed with the lace and tucks in the same manner as the skirt, Instead of 'a yoke, several small me dallions of Mexican lace is appligyed above the band of embroidery in smim- ple design: .
