Discovery of Plot to Rob an Iowa Expire

DisSoScIy VI AOt 10 hOu au iowa ExprSeS
Train.
Carelessness in addressing letter led to the
discovery of plot to rob a Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern express train tonight A
letter was received by Mrs. Christ, proprietor
Of the Orchard City Hotel of Burlington, that
was evidently not intended for her eyes. The
missive had no date or superscription and was
follows:
There will be $4,000 on train No. 2, Bur-
lington. Cedar Rapids and Northern railroad
next Wednesday night 1 will be on the train.
South of Columbus Junction is q good place to
take it. Grady, the expressman, is scared as a
rabbit. If you know of any one who will help
let him stop the train by swinging a lantern
across the track. GRAHAM"
The letter was at once turned over to the au-
thoritics, who are inclined to look upon the
matter in a serious light, but as great deal OF
talk has been INDUCED in by the landlady and
others 1t is. thought the robbers have been
warned. close watch of things will be kept
tonight, however.

When Thursday afternoon arrived got

summoned hanson, which, after the man
ner of London hansoms, proceeded at
break-neck speed through crowded streets up
crooked lanes, across crescents, and through
circusses, till finally arrived at my destl-
nation-a charming house in London's
most fashionable district Several carriages
were passing up and down the street, but L
noticed none OF the outward and visible
signs of gayetv within the closed doors.
The blinds were not drawn down, nor was
there any awning stretched from door to
pavement, although it was raining, and the
steps were muddy.
A small "buttons" opened the door in
answer to my modest knock and ring, and
WIS conducted upstairs to the drawing
room. where, to my surprise, found my
Eastess sitting near blazing fire, with
couple of pretty girls who had just put
down their tea cups. An awful thought

The Latest London Bonnet.

Ones head is in whirl after little ex-
cursion along Bond street to Piccadilly. and
thence down to Regent street. The kaleido-
scopio colors of bonnets, gowns, and stuffs
make one long for the shops to be worked
on the 'belt" system SO that one could stand
still, and the show cases made to pass slowly
back and forth before ones dazzled eyes. All
the bonnets notice have still very high
backed tendency. which would indicate, I
fear, no .diminution Of the mountainous
erections Of frowzy hair. Bright turquoise
blue seems to be the favorite colour just
now, and one bonnet I saw was composed Of
a,,thick wreath of tiny glossy bright green ivy
leaves, the crown being made of lovely little
velvet bows of the very skyest blue, with
strings of the same.
Then another had frame of gilded wires
in the long, narrow toque shape, softly
covered with some cleaning, silvery ma
terial, strewn here and there with opatine
beads. The edging round the brim was of
fine gold lace, very narrow, with little opal
drop from each point of the pattern. The
back was punched with peculiar moonlight
grey ribbons, and just on the front rested
wonderful dragon fly, with its delicate
wings outspread, and its glistening slender
body reproducing the tints of the opal beads.
The strings came from the back, and were
the same shade as the neutral tint of the
bow.

in one of which reposed deIicately thin
bread and butter, and in the other q few
slices of cake.
While the two young women were making
their adieuI l collected my scattered ideas,
and glanced atmy surroundings. A charm
ing room, which had not been subjected to
the dismanting that is an almost necessary
rule in the case of our "big teas" the
hostess was prettily draped with the usual
long-tailed full-fronteG tea-gown, and had
straw table laden with lovely cups of pure
white futed china, with dainty little silver
spoons, ard an old fashioned cream jug and
sugar basin. Lots of flowers in pots and
oueer-snaped bowls were placed on tables
and wicker stands about the room, and a
siiyer-footed lamp, with gauzy apple-green
shade, diffused a peculiar light in a corner
by piano, which had as 'back" a huge
screen filled with photographs of celebrities
of the operatic and dramatic stage.
After the usual chit-chat incidental to a
call, my American desire "to know" came
to the fore, and inquired of my charming
hostess the meaning of English tea" 1
told her first what proportions one of our
afternoon entertainments of that name al
ways acquired, and the amount of prepara-
ton necessary, and she listened with aston
ishment. Then she told me that all English
women who maze any pretense at having
SEssSng fist had, as we do certain day for
receiving their friends printed on their
cards. This signifies no more than that
trey remain at home on that day within the
prescribed hours. No preparation is made
bevond having thin bread and butter, cake
and tea, the latter never standing, but al
WAYS freshly made for each new batch OF
visitors, and always by the hostess herself.
Sometimes very few people come, and some
times the room is full, yet everything is
done in the simplest and quietest fashion
possible. Very often, if there are lot of
people in the room, and a man or girl
happen to be able to sing prettily to the sc-
compartment of a piano, banjo, or a
guitar, they are asked to contribute their
quota of entertainment-a proceeding that
is always appreciated according to its
merits
The only affair given in England that ap-
proaches our ''tea" is the evening reception
or conversations that is only held in big
pansions, for English people are more
sensible than we are. and do not attempt to

a couple OF dimes. She dried her eyes, and
went to work piling some cIoaks upon
chair. They were heavy goods which were
to be removed TO remote corner of the es-
tablishment, there to remain IN hiding until
fall, when they will reappear as the latest
importation.
"That coat fits you just lovely in the
back" the. salesgirl was saying, while
Maude was performing feats of contortion

st doesn't fit me at ALL" said Maude.
"If you know it doesn't fit, why don't you
take it off and try something else?" L ven-
tured to inquire.
"Well, I've got it on now, and might as
we'll see the back of it. Then can show
that girl that she doesn't know what she's
talking about"
"Why do you wish to make her life any
worse than 1t is already. Have some COM
passion"
"Come now, HoYdy, don't talk philan-
thropy to me. Didn't hear you say, the
other day, that if you caught your tailor out
sight OF the police you'd break every bone
in his body?"
"But tailors are men and responsible"
"Here's the glass, +" said the salesgirl.

her back with melancholy satlsfaciion.

A Beauty for the Carriage.

A charming carriage gown I saw the
other day was of very fine drap d etc of the
softest shade of gray. The skirt was plain
and slightly trailing. and being cut in tiny
vandycks round the bottom. exposed a
dainty frilly ruche Of the same shade of
gray silk fecked with silver beads. The
bodice was without seams, and fastened
under the left arm, and was marvel of
artistic drapery, drawn into wide collar of
heavy silver embroidery, over which peeped
delicate frill of lace. The sleeves were
entirely composed Of the silver embroidery,
and terminated at the waist with puff Of
silk. The mantle to accompany this spring
poem was just succession OF founces of
pale gray silk falling from a pointed yoke
and high collar of the silver embroidery. A
morsel of q gray bonnet with bunch of
yellow buttercups, pale gray gloves and
gray Suede shoes with silver buckles, COM
pleted this almost too delicate costume.

put 100 people into room that is crowded
with 30. At these crushes, refreshments,
similar to our afternoon menu, are served in
the dining room, but, of course for coffee
and tea is substituted stronger waters" for
very few English houses have "temperance"
principles. All these things my kind enter
tainer explained, and was also greatly inter-
ested in my description of the various differ
euces between the entertainments of the two
nations.
Those lengthy, elaborate, and. I think,
most tedious things. called ladies' lunches,
are quite unknown here, the midday meal
never being a meal of ceremony. The
London season is such busy one, that there
is never time for the countless excuses for
feeding the multitude that we indulge in.
Drives, rides and shopping occupy the
mornings, while the afternoons are taken up
with calling, "private views at art gall
leries and S o'clock teas. Then dinner,
theater or opera, balls, and various other
entertainments occupy the time till we'll into
the morning hours. Altogether, my hostess
told me, as I rose to leave her pretty room,
a London society woman is very hard
