EVE’S 'RAMBLINGS.

COMMENT AND, GOSSIP {AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.

There is nothing very new in the
way of shapes, either in hats or toques;
and I am somewhat at a loss to give my
readers some original ideas. I have
therefore chosen as models this week
an entirely made-up toque for the first,
and a renovated hat for the second. I
dare say many ,pf my correspondents
will have remnants of silks, flowers,
etc., on hand, to say nothing ofsummer
straws, of which ,they are quite tired.

Although my first sketch is in blue
and white check surah, anyone possess-
ing one and a half yards of silk; five
pairs of black wings at 12 cents per
pair; a steel buckle at 50 cents; a wire
shape witlria straight brim, about four
inches wide and a Tam-o-Shanter
crown, will be able to copy, this toque,
which is admirable for traveling pur—
poses. Beginyby cutting one yard of
the silk into two lengths, each one
yard long and nine inches wide.

Ithink this toque will be easier to
make if you first take the brim off the
crown in the wire shape- Join two
“' ends of the silk (to make one long
strip), double and gather the two
edges together so that the brim is
quite covered, putting rather more
fullness into the back when it is turned
abruptly up, and fasten with the steel
buckle.

Next, cut the corners of the half yard
of silk and cover the 'Tam-o-Shanter
crown, which must then be sewn to the
brim, neatening at the base with a
strip of silk which you will have over
from the first yard. . Then sew three
pairs of the wings into the flutings in

, the front of the toque and two pairs at
the back.

Feminine Chat.

 

The average woman prefers being

we do for ourselves.

INDIANS GROWING GOOD.

The Policy or the Governmet to? Mal.
Them Self-Supporting.

It is rumored in department head-
quarters that there will be a rattling
of dry bones at some of "the older
Western posts in the near future. As
a resultpof the shake-lip, predictions
are that a plumber of them will be
stricken from the list of necessary
sfations and either sold at auction or
turned over to the Indian service for
agencies. ' _

Five years ago it was thought the
height of folly to think of abandoning
any of the Arizona military posts,
which are in the region infested with
, Apaches, but to-day it seems. to be the
settled policy of the Government to
make these men self-supporting, and
therefore safe citizens. As rapidly as
the Dawes bill requirements are com-
plied with the Indians are admitted
to the rights of suffrage. These re-
quirements are “the severance of all
tribal relationship and'the adoption of
the modes and habitsof civilization.”
This will soon cover the whole Apache
tribe, once so bloodthirsty, and it is
not improbable that the next five
months will see the abandonment of
Forts Apache, Grant and Huachuca,
in Arizona, and Wingate and Union,
in New Mexico. The only reason why
the Government keeps troops in these
God~forsaken regions now is because
of fancied fear of the Indians.

It is also the policy of the Govern-
ment to turn over all abandoned mili-
tary posts in the Indian country to the

in Utah, can be seen the. Onray agency,
once the site of old Fort Roubidoux:
in Montana can be seen the Fort Peck
agency; once the site of a military
cantonmen-t of that name, and in Ari-
zona the Fort Defiance agency ilour-
ishes where once stood that sentinel
of the advance of civilization" west-
ward, Fort Defiance. '

In speaking of the Apaches recently,
Gen. Sumner said: “It is generally mis-
understood, this ‘question of the Apav
che Indians. They are generally look.
ed upon as being bloodthirsty, "fierce
warriors. On the contrary, I never
dealt with easier Indians to handle.
They are making as rapid strides to-
ward civilization as any band in the
United States, and no more need
watching than many of the tribes of
the Indian Territory. The Utes are
vastly more turbulent and troubl
some.” '-

From this it can be seen that the
prediction that the above-mentioned
posts will soon be reminiscences has
good foundation on logic; all of them
are mainly maintained for the purpose

In Dotted Swiss.
Dotted swisses and sprlgged muslins
are extremely popular this summer. In
the latter material a charming gown
had a white ground, on Which were

and there a knot of sale blue ribbon"
gtying them. ‘

A dainty dotted swiss has the cor-
sage arranged to wear with a Jabot
or front of different material. The
material is laid in tiny tucks from
the shoulder down to about five inches,
and is gathered snugly in at
the waist line. The jabot, of fine
white muslin, is bordered with ruches
of dainty lace. A crush collar of white
taffeta encircles the neck.

Sixteenth Century Miracle.
A sixteenth century traveller visited
a, French monastery, where he was
shown what was asserted to be the
skull of John the Baptist. With
some surprise the traveller said:
"Why, the monks of — monastery
showed me the skull of John the Bap-
tist yesterday."
.“True,” said the exhibitor, not a
“whit disturbed, “but those monks only
possess the skull of the saint when
he was a young man. while ‘ours is
his skull when he was well advanced
in age and wisdom."
