Old-fashioned crepe de chine shawls
are now utilized as draperies over the
lace and tulle skirts of ball and evening
reception toilets.
Among late novelties for the adorn-
ment of wool costumes are panels, bod
ice and sleeve trimmings of coupe plush
in graceful ara-besque designs.
Swiss peasant bodices are again worn
by young ladies at evening parties laced
over long-sleeved. high blouse waists of
lace tullue, crepe lisse, or organdy mus
lin. Long fur boas are increasing in IA
yor, the long haired varieties being most
affected. These are not tied as they used

Jacob A. Leippe Disinh.rits His Daughter.

Referring to the elopement OF his daugh-
ter Kate, with Robt. A. Riegel, of Reading,
Jacob A. Leippe, of that city, formerly OF
Lancaster, told Herald reporter that there
was truth in the rumor that he would disin-
herit his daughter. He said that both the
young folks knew it before they we're mar
ried. He didn't know where the couple
were, but thought they were out OF the CITY,
More than this he would not say.
Mr.. Riegel and his youthful bride have
been lovers for some time, and the course of
true love has not run along with uninter-
rupted smoothness by any means On one
occasion, about year sgo--as lNTELLIGEN-
GER readers will remember-Riegel was ar
rested in the yard which surrounds the
Leppe residence in Reading, and taken
to police station. 1t was / o'clock at
night and he was there singing a love
song to attract the attention ot his sweetheart
who was hidden from his sight by the stern
brick walls OF her fathers mansion. Riegel
was mistaken for a burglar, however, and
was locked up. Next morning be explained
the situation to the mayor, who "caught on''
and kindly released the young man. The
lovers bided their time until the bride be-
came OF age, and then were married.
The groom is poor but handsome-looking
young man and enjoys the reputation of be-
ing an excellent shoemaker.
