GARDEN no time of year when this Class of dress is not a necessity in a Womans wardrobe; it must adapt Itself to circumstances. To meet the needs of spring and summer the coat dust either be discardable or suitable to wear indoors and out Many are worn without a shirt or blouse or underbodice of any kind, only a vest at the throat, generally transparent, or a lace scarf daintily tied. This sort of garment has rather extended its field and is being made, not cnly in glace sometimes, but very often in etamine, canvas, grenadine and even in voile and crepe de chine. So it happens that the tailor takes the dressmakers place, and that the dressmaker is doing tailors work and ts even sending out serges, friezes or cloth suits. There CAPTURED ,' iiflM PARTY TOILETS. There Is a fascination about training from which few who have once felt it ever escape. It la the fascination of constant danger, of taking your life in your hand daily, and of fitting your will against the bloodthirsty ferocity of wild wild-anim- beasts. In his book The Training of Wild Animals, just published by the Century Company, Mr. Frank C. Bostock, one of the greatest tamers and trainers In the country, gives us an Insight into the perils and pleasures of animal training. Told in his own words, it is one of the most thrilling stories ever written and possesses as well many other elements of Interest. A thrilling experience of mine in Birmingham, England, in 1889 may show the critical situation in which a showman is sometimes placed, writes Mr. Bostock. "A country fair was being held at the time.

They were divided, by an Iron partition. On the opening day we ran one of our big cages on wheels up to the cage containing the two lions, and placing the cages door to door dropped a lasso over the quiet lions neck, and by gentle twitches induced him to enter the big cage. Thep we tried the same tactics with the African lion, but with very different results. Time after time he slipped the noose from his great body and tore madly up and down the cage, as though possessed of the strength of twenty lions. We watted a few minutes until he stopped to roar, and then once more slipped the rope over him. With a terrific wrench and twist .he got himself free, and with such a wild bound that the cages shook again he sprang into the next cage so suddenly and with such terrific force as to cause the wagon to move away upon its wheels, and before the attendants could close the door he sprang over their heads and into the street, where for a time he was as free and untrarameled as when in his native wilds. To approach him probably meant death, but in spite of this we tried to capture him with ropes and the lasso, success. Suddenly he but without turned, dashed through the Hons tent to the rear of the building, pushed himself through a rift and made off for the city of Birmingham, which contained at that time over 200,000 people. On his way he came to one of the openings of the many sewers which empty the waste of the city and down he sprang, looking up at the crowd of people and roaring at the top of his voice. In about twenty minutes nearly every person In Birmingham knew what had happened, and the consternation prevailed greatest everywhere. The fear was intensified by the fact that as the Hon made his way through the sewers he stopped at every manhole he came to and there e o jack-boot- Now They Are Strangers.

Then three trusty men and myself, accompanied by my giant boar hound Marco, entered the sewer through a manhole. It was as dark as a pocket. Suddenly Marco barked and I heard ciose ahead a throaty growl and I knew that the lion was afoot. In another second a terrific fight was raging between the boar hound and the lion. The dog got the worst of it and soon returned badly clawed and bitten. I went on with the fight myself. I put Taking off my big them on my hands and arms, and going up close to the lion was fortunately able to hit him a stinging blow on the nose with one of them. Fearing that he would split my head open with a blow from one of his huge paws, I told one of my men to place over my head a large iron kettle which he had used to carry cartridges and other blouse is made with fine plaits at the top and is trimmed with wide bands of Valenciennes lace insertion, which cross in front and in the back.

J of sounds, driving some of the people nearly wild with terror. I gathered my men quickly, put a lion in a large shifting cage, covered It with canvas so that the lion might not be seen and set off for the sewer. Then, with three of my attendants, I went three blocks back, lowering ropes down each of the manholes on our way until we pretended we had found the lion and then I lowered myself into the depths through the third manhole. The next thing was to fire blank cartridges, blow horns and shout as loudly as possible. The attendants suddenly clapped the cage door down with a shout and the cry went up that 'we had him. Meanwhile I was in a perfect bath of cold perspiration, for matters were extremely serious and knew not what to do next. The fears of the people were allayed for the present, and a probable riot had been stopped only just in time, but the lion was still in the sewer.

As soon as possible I placed trusty men with iron bars at the mouth of the sewer, and as, fortunately, the Hon stopped his roaring and contented himself with perambulating up and down the sewer through the narrow miles of tunneling, things were quiet for the time. When everything had been done that was possible I went to bed, but as that was the most anxious night I have ever had, it is scracely necessary for me to say that sleep was out of the question. On the afternoon of the following day the chief of police of Birmingham came to see me and congratulated me on my marvelous pluck and daring. This made me feel worse than before, and I at once made a clean breast of the whole thing. I shall never forget that mans face when he realized that the Hon was still In the sewer. It was a wonderful study for any mind reader. At first he was Inclined to blame me, but when I showed him I had probably stopped a panic, and that my own liabilities in the matter were pretty grave possibilities to face, he sympathized with me, and added that any help he could give me I might have. I at once asked for five hundred men of the police force and also asked that he. would Instruct the superintendent of sewers to send me the bravest men he could spare, with their topboots, ladders, ropes and revolvers with them, so that, should the Hon appear, any man could do his best to shoot him at sight "At the appointed time the police things to the sewer. While he was trying to fix this, the kettle tipped and rolled over and went crashing down the sewer, making a noise and racket which echoed and resounded the whole throughout length of the narrow tunnel In the most appalUng manner. The Hon, who had resisted everything else in the way of capture, at once turned tail like a veritable coward, and, racing down the sewer at a mad gallop, was soon lost to sight as though the earth had suddenly swallowed him. We wondered where he could have gone, as he had not! time enough to run far, but following him up, we found him In a sorry Put to the Proper Use.
