were destroyed.
Ijam Investigation It was found that

robbed, and coal oil had been poured
In profusion around the dwelling arid

THE DR. I/LIZ CASE.
^paln Will Pay Indemnity if Claim is
Proven Just.
At Madrid, the Spanish Premier,
Oanovas Del Castillo, In an Interview
is reported as saying that the alleged
demands of the Putted States In the
case of Jtr. Ricardo Ruiz, an Ameri
can oifizen, who expired in jail at
Guanabu«oa, apparently from injuries
received there, must Is: exaggerated,
The Premier added, however, that if
the widow of Ruiz demanded indem
nity and such claim was shown to be
justified, Spain would see that justice
was done.
Honor Oanovaa Del Castillo further
remarked: “I do not believe President
McKinley lias any unfriendly intea
Uons toward Spain, but if the United
Slates departs from her friendly atti
tude, Sirajn will be ab.e to defend her
righto.”

THE WOMAN DECORATOR.
The word decorator has come to
stay. There are good reasons for her
success, the first of which is her intui
tive sense of color and quick apprecia
tion of what is good. With her apti
tude for details and with her ability to
manage several lines of work at one
and the same time, she is enabled to
combine utility with beauty. Count
ing the cost at the start is another of
her recommendations. You do not
need to give her carte blanche, hut
you can give her the highest figure
beyond which you will not go, and
she will be just as painstaking in her
efforts. Show her the room of which
you have despaired, and, with her
knowledge of materials and
ings, she will soon accomplish a won
(lerful transformation. It is the worn
an decorator who looks at the
old-fashioned brick mantel and makes
it a tiling of beauty by the addition of
wrought-iron trimmings, which are
really very inexpensive. This is
much better than tearing down the
old mantel and replacing it with a
modern cabinet affair, for the result is
more unique. It is the woman deco
rator who helps popularize the stuffs
of homely origin and furniture of siin
pie design. Above all, it is the
woman decorator who contrives an air
of cosy comfort even in the midst of
grand surroundings.—New Orleans

olp shoes.
The . , T “ ■ ° , ,,
, boots which have been worn by an
upright magistrate, and the custom of
wishing a friend a “happy foot is
still observed all through Europe,
The casual putting on the left shoe on
the right foot, putting it on uneven
a nd crosswise, bursting the latch or
tie, lacing it wrong and losing a but
ton are all bad signs. English girls
, have , been . known to . , hang their , boots
outside the window on St. Valentine’s
night for love luck. Professor Bbick
tells us of a singular superstition ex
isting re England which resists that
if the younger daughter of a family
marries first her sisters must dance at
her wed,hug without shoes so as o
re™re husbands for themselves. Old
shoe throwing is done for many pur

AMERICAN' MANNERS.
In a series of papers on the above
subject and published in The Outlook,
Ian Maclaren says of the chivalry of
American men toward women:
“The first point of good manners is
chivalry, and the test of chivalry is a
man’s bearing to women. The reason
one is suspicions of French breeding
is that, though a Parisian—who is a
Frenchman raised to the highest de
gree—may lift his hat on entering a
shop, he would show the shopgirl no
deference on the street, while French
„ . . • u to — oman .
kind. From end to end of America a
woman is respected, protected, served,
honored. If she enters an elevator
every man uncovers; in a street cat
she is never allowed to stand if a man
can give her a seat; on the railways,
conductors, porters and every othei
kind of official hasten to wait on her;
au y r P an daring to annov a woman
would come to grief. The poorest
woman can travel v ith seciirity and
comfort in the States, which to an
European seems most admirable. Her

MAKING CLOSE CONNECTION.
With the return of the bicycle sea¬
son comes the shirt waist, and the
young maid and
to the time when the stiff, thick waists
of the winter gowns will give place to
the cool, comfortable garment of cot¬
ton or silk. This year the clever in
ventor, who “slumbers not, neither
does he sleep,” has developed from his
active brain devices which promise to
be a boon to all wearers of the shirt
-waists. One, and perhaps the most
popular just now, takes the form of a
narrow, steel belt, three-quarters of
an inch in width, and fastening in
front with hooks and eyes resembling
those of a corset. On the back of the
gown are sewed two broad, steel
catches through which the belt is run.
This simple and almost indestructible
device is warranted to hold the skirt
in place, and not show either above or
below the belt.
The next device is also a belt, but
j n this case of strong woven belting.
To it is attached, in the movable back,
three straps, in both ends of which are
fastened strong safety pins. The up
per safety pin, to catch the shirt waist,
thereby making it impossibleto bag or
bulge. The pins in the lower end of
these straps, which are about three
inches long, are fastened in the nn
derskirt. Of course the dress skirt
goes over this, and should fit very
snugly about the waist.
Other inventions for the same
pose consist, of several varieties of
buttons, clasps, catches and pins. The
most useful of the catches, perhaps, is
that which may be had to match any
belt. It consists of a piece of steel
about two inches long, curved to
the waist, with a narrower hook which
extends over the top of the belt. Tha
lower part is furnished with eyelets,
aa ‘l should be sewn to the dress skirt.
The hook ]eatUer eoTe red, and can
h d to matcll tbe most expensive or
ph t belt . 0 f course, the cover

An arrangement which has the ad
vantages of cheapness and simplicity
consists of a soft piece of leather about
two inches long bv a half inch wide,
* attached.
