NEAT AND DISCREET.

BUSTLES ARE IN FAVOR, BUT THEY ARE YET OF MODEST SIZE. Two Stylish Spring Garments For Outdoor Wear—A Nice and Dressy Home Gown. Daring Designs In Larepins—More Jew* elry—Hair Decorations. [Special Correspondence.] New York, March 8.—The two most! stylish and really Imndsome outdoor gar- : meats for spring that I have yet seen are, ; first, a black velvet coat richly trimmed with jet galloon and with a corselet made ' of the same, and a fluted collar also gar- j nished with that trimming, and a long garment that was half redingote and half polonaise. The latter was made of

mocks and easy chairs must of necessity be very neat, and so they are. One fancy has the white kid slipper embroidered with flying birds as seen from a distance. There is an upright bow of kid set on the instep, and a tiny fringe of black feathers all around it. Another is of gray suede kid, with a strap across the instep, the whole embroidered with black silk. A low style has queer little dark blue figures worked on a gray ground and a rosette"on the instep. An-

TWENTY HOUK'i OF’ SUSPENSE. Flailing; Crew Afloat on an Ic© KJo© Amid <»r«*at l>ang;©rM. Gloucester, Mass., March 17.—The fishing schooner Blanche of this port sought shelter in Port-Au-Baequa, N. F., when a sudden change of winds filled the harbor with icebergs. The schooner was driven upon the rocks, but was later swept out to sea with the ice, which rose high above her masts and swirled about her. grinding, tossing and finally sweeping her under 50 miles from land. The crew of Hi saved themselves by jumping upon a floe, in the middle of the night, and upon this they drifted ‘20 hours. They had been able to toss out a little food and their mattresses, and by making bonfires of the latter they saved themselves from freezing, but they were nearly dead from exposure when another change in the wind drove them to the shore.

VISITING AND HOUSE GOWNS, tabac brown drap d’ete, cut en princesse in the back and beautifully draped across the front to the right side, where it was lifted and held under a square gilt buckle and left to fall in heavy folds tc the bottom. There were a stitched and doubled bertha cape and bishop sleeves, with fur cuffs. There also was a choker collar of the same fur. The long redingote shape in coats for early spring are to be very stylish, and the nearer they can be made to look like a princess dress shape the better. The most of them are of broadcloth, but there will be some of light cheviot and tweed, and not a few will be of black cloth. They fit snugly and fall ic trumpet plaits in the back and generally straight down in front, fastening invisibly. Some few have fur in stoles al! the way down, and still others have a line of large hand painted porcelain buttons reaching to the waist. These buttons are painted in very artistic designs and are expensive. For a nice and dressy home gown I must mention one that I saw yesterday under the finishing touches at a fashionable house tip town. The material was of petunia satin surah, shirred around the waist to draw it in to fit the figure. There were stoles of handsome black lace insertion down the front and a jabot frill bordered with the same, and still other bands extended half way up each side seam. The sleeves were made in such a way as to reach up over the shoulder seam to the collar, and they drooped down loosely and gracefully over the elbows nearly to the wrist. It was cut princess shape in the back and made a very handsome dress indeed. The polonaise and the peplum grow in favor every day, and so do the neat and discreet little bustles—not big ones, but scarcely more than small cushions intended to give the proper “set” to the polonaise drapery in the back. The new fancies in little matters like slippers, jewels, head ornaments and the wearing of the Hair are legion. To begin with, more jewelry will Vie worn on the street than has been seen in several years. The lacepins are remarkable for their daring designs. One was a large green tomato worm in enamel. It looked simply horrible, but seemed to please the wearer, who is one of those ladies whose time is fully occupied in thinking up some new thing to wear and then wearing it. The new slippers for lounging in ham-

THE LATEST. ! other has a flat cherry velvet bow on a ' plain oyster white suede slipper and a ! small black embroidered figure on the toes. For dancing the slippers are of satin in colors to match the gown, and 1 many have red heels. For the decoration of a pretty head of hair for a full or partially full dress ocj casion there are steel springs covered ' with velvet or ribbon, to which are sewed flowers or gauze bows picked out with jet, steel and gold beads. Sometimes these are worn to theater or opera in place of bonnets. The hair is dressed with thick masses of curls on top and a bowknot, or with one curl down the middle of the forehead and a high knot. It is also dressed in too many other ways to mention, but these styles lead. Olive Harper. MARKET QUOTATIONS. Prevailing Prirr* For (irnin and Cattle on March 16. Indianapnllfl. Wheat — 52<g54c.

A Honk Agent With a Valet. The most successful book canvasser seen in Newark in several years is a carefully dressed young man with a man. It has long been an established fact in swelldom that a man without a man is scarcely a man, but to see a book canvasser with a valet is something which almost takes the breath away and leaves bis victim with no recourse except to sign the subscription blank. The attendant comes in handy, too, for he stands deferentially behind his master, principal or employer, holds the sachel and hands out anything that may lie required. There is no cluster of books piled up upon the victim’s desk or chairs by this agreeable agent. As soon as he is through with the description of one volume he sjieaks in a low, sweet voice to Charles, who gracefully takes the book and puts it into the carrying case. —Newark (N. J.) Call.

NEWbPAPtK tHKUKS. Why They Cannot Always llv Sucet-nsfoliy Guardc-tl Against. [Special Correspondence.] Chicago, March 8.—It is probable that almost every newspaper reader in the United States at one time or another has berated his favorite journal and uttered abjurgations concerning its editors and reporters because of some error of fact, some misspelling of a proper name or some incorrect statistical statement. And yet if these fault finders were to stop and think, the wonder would be not that there are blunders in newspapers, but that there are so few. Although in a general way modern readers of modern newspapers know something of the methods employed in laying the news of the world before the people at daily or weekly intervals, yet few not actually engaged in the work realize through how many hands each “item” has to pass from the time it is perhaps a rumor on the street and a compact paragrapli or a “double leaded, scare lieaded, screaming scoop.” columns in length and an integral part of the printed sheet. Let the reader of this letter mentally follow the fortunes of a single, plain, everyday news item on its way to the reader, and he will understand what I mean. Among the assignments given out by the city editor one has been for the investigation of a rumor that Judge Heviwate and Lawyer Huccuinso have had an altercation on the street. It hapjiened the day before and has so far been kept out of print. It may be permanently kept out, but it must be run to earth, and a reporter who is known to have a knack of tracing and unraveling just this sort of story is started out. It will not do, in the opinion of this experienced “gathernp,” to go direct to the judge and the lawyer until the salient points of the story have been got together. So the reporter visits first Judge Heviwate's friends, to whom he says he understands that the judge got decidedly the worst of it in the contest, verbal or physical. They have been sworn to secrecy on the subject, but this skillful exhibition of his slight information by the reporter is too much for them, and they proceed to indignantly deny the insinuation, and to tell the true story of the row, according to their lights. After the reporter has seen four or five of the judge's friends, each of whom has talked more or less, and each of whom has been thanked for setting the reporter straight, he seeks the friends of Lawyer Huccnmso. Similar tactics and similar ] experiences follow, and with a mass of conflicting "material” in his possession the newspaper man then goes to the principals. Each of these protests against publicity. Perhaps both refuse to talk; perhaps both talk freely. At last the reporter returns to the newspaper office and tells the story in brief, as he understands it, to the city editor. "Half a column,” says that functionary laconically, poising his blue pencil for a moment in the air. “Tell both sides in full.” Then begins the reporter's real work. At least 12 men have told him 12 different tales of the trouble, which must all be fused into a half column of spacesay from 500 to 800 words—and “both sides must lie told in full.” When the story is completed by the reporter, it is more nearly a column than half that length. “Hurry up, you!” sings out the city editor. "Must have that story now!” Then to a "reader,” “Here, cut this stuff down about half—quick!” And the blue pencil of the reader goes remorselessly and rapidly through sentences and paragraphs that were carefully prepared with a view of giving “both sides in full,” a “head” is written, the whole rolled tight and shot through a pneumatic tube to the composing room. There the copy is cut into “takes.” or pieces of a few lines each, the later the smaller, and given out to perhaps a half dozen separate printers. Each sets his take as rapidly as possible, using in doing so many little pieces of metal. In a very short time the “takes” are assembled, and the story is “proved.” In the aggregate all the way from GOO to 1,000 bits of metal or types have been arranged in sequence by the men in setting this story, and every type out of its proper place means an error of some sort. The matter must now be read by a proofreader and a copyholder, then corrected and hurried to the “form,” where it is to take its place with other “stories,” each containiug hundreds or thousands of pieces of type. It is late now, and the paper must be made up. The “makeup” editor, who perhaps has neither seen nor heard of this “story” two minutes before he orders it placed, finds it too long, even after the reader’s heroic compression, and cuts out a few more lines “in type.” He busies himself for some time doing this with a great variety of articles and “stories” long and short on all sorts of topics. When the last form is locked up and on its way to the press, there is quite a collection of disjointed lines and paragraphs that have been lopped off here and there. Perhaps he left out of the story about Judge Heviwate and Lawyer Huccuinso a live line paragraph that contains the meat of the entire matter. Probably not, for though he works quickly he has learned to discern almost instantaneously, and the chances are that—though, counting the men from whom the facts were obtained, the printers and proofreaders, the reporters and editors, each “story” in the paiier has passed through from a dozen to 50 hands—there are no serious blunders. But, as I said at the beginning, it’s a wonder there are not more errors in every issue of every newspaper printed, and if you had to help make a newspaper for awhile you’d agree with me. C. V.
