cboose, between the short-waisted En-
pre STYLE, the modes OF 1880, with tne
waist in its natural place and very wide
shoulders, and the fashions OF the pres
ent year, chief amongst which are the
clinQinG skirt and Russian blouse
Neither Of the styles taken from the
first half Of this century Is an absolute
copy of the original, every character
istic is modified, and while the best
points of both are retained their exag-
geratlons are passed over. But how
easily the Empire effect is accomplished.
All YOU have to do is to tic sashes high
up, and have ruilles from shoulder to
shoulder and 1t is done. The dress /
saw was a new one, but why make
new dress up in way that
might be so easily applied TO the
rejuventation of an old one? This
gown, however was plaid silk, OF soft
bluef "the latest" The deep ruflle
from shoulder to shoulder was gray
null. The sashes, crossed so as TO pass
under the breast line to the back and
then brought around again and tied In
an Empire knot at one side, were OF
changeaple yellow and rose. The silk
skirt was gray. The coat-tails OF the
bodice were lined with rose, and the
girl carried a purple fan. She looked
all right, though, perhaps, it was her
air os confidence that was so convincing.
All you have to do is to cut down the
neck Of bodice, put ruffle around it,
and arrange the sashes, and you will
look quite as well as she did.

DE REINACa'S DEATH.
The Medical Examination Shows that 1t
Was Due to Natural Causes.


PARIS, December 2S.-The rumors con-
corning the death Of Baron de Reinach
and theorizing in regard to it were proved
this morning TO have been utterly baseless
The report made by DR., Brouardet, who
has charge Of the autopsy, was made pub
lie to-day. II declares that the analysis Of
the Viscera revealed not the slightest trace
of poison, and the conclusion arrived at bv
DR.. Brouardet and his colleagues is that
the Baron's death was due to natural
causes The report, thought it is Official
is regarded with suspicion in certain quar-
tiers.
There are persons who openly express
the belief that Baron de Reinach was muir
dered and the official report to the contrary
does not shake their belief. Against this,
however, stands the reputation Of DR..
Brouardet. Those who know him declare
that nothing the Government could offer
him would induce him to attach his name
to false report, and if such a report was
secretly decided upon he would not in any
way be party TO 1t.
The matter is eagerly discussed and in
Governmental circles is taken to end for
ever all question as TO the Baron's death.
The de Reinach family will accept the re-
port as final, as it removes from the
Baron the stigma Of suicide.

that the match between JACK McAuilne

The story has created no end OF gossip

the contest was to be pre-arranged analt
is strengthened by the fact that Judge
Newton, matchmaker Of the CLUB has mt

to have anything TO do with the men.
