to what big corporation is prompting
Mr.. Psshalrs public spirited efforts.
Perhaps the B. " o., which was Mr..
Peshalrs old hacker, may feel bad
about the new deal. 1t was always
credited with a desire TO gobble New

inspired him to tilt against the Read

We believe, however, that it is
simply the afflatus of publicity which
tickles Mr.. Peshalrs nostrils. Be

and the Hallinger episode he has
managed to keep himself pretty well
before the public for the last three
years by minding other peoples

He probably sees in this Reading

Dainty odds and Ends.
A pretty, dressy apron is made of a
breadth of black surah silk, t~wenty-fonr
inches in length. The lower edge is cut
in notches and lace six inches wide is set
underneath, headed by a band of black
silk fringe. The top is pleated in three
pleats, turned towards the middle from
each side, and is trimmed with flaps
edged with lace. Heavy black silk cord
with loops and tassels SCI yes to form a
belt.
Some of the long jackets, baggy and
belted in, in the back are almost as ugly
aud ungraceful as the Connemara cloaks.
There never was such d season OF belts,
In all styles and shapes. The ribbon belt
with a bow at the SIDE is very pretty.
With a white silk dress Miss Ida Bell,
who played here last week at the Opera
house in Sunset" wore a narrow gold
belt. This was the only contrast from
the white, except a bunch of violeIs
against the belt. The effect was very
pretty and giriish.

against trimming around the bottom of Il

Gather bands, rucheS aud folds are much
used, and are also run in perpendit u
lar rows on the front aud side seams, in
which case there is no trimming on the
bottom
Many Of the new hats have a cone
shaped rown, raising volcano-like from
the centre of the head. III women do not
cover it with much trimming it win give
the funny man opportunity for a joke.
The latest millinery creation" is the
''butteriy' hat. This novelty has a brim
of yellow crepe. around the edge of whicl
runs a border of butterflies with tinted
wings. Each butterfly is attached to a
spring, so that the effect somewhat re-
sembles a lot of flies who have been
caught on sticky paper and are trying to
get away but don't succeed. The crow
is formed of one large gilt butterfly. and
tue streamers are of crepe lisSe.
Green in every shade from light to
dark is the favorite color of the season.
