The "Cornet" skirt, which Is trying
to displace the popular umbrella skirt,
has some advantages which the latter has
not. To be sure, IL needs wide goods, but
small amount OF cloth. The front breadth
Is very slightly sloped at the sides, and
has three darts at each side OF the top.
The back consists OF a square set corner
wise, the upper corner cut of slightly,
the lower rounded widely to form the
sweep OF the slight train. The side seams
give places for placket-hole and pocket;
the top is gathered. Below the gathers
the fullncss is laid in double box-plait,
which falls partially over the seams.
Crinoline lining and an intorlining OF
wadding, aid in holding it in the desired
haring shape.

AN IRON HALL RECEIVER.
Branch 457 Has FILED Petition Tending
That Way.


There were $50 members Of the order of
Iron Hall at 62 Westminster street, last
evening. It was decided by them to take
action in regard to the reserve funds,
and preliminary injunction was served
on tho trustees of Branch 457, James
Cameron, Ernest Hunold, James Davis
and Il. 4. Smith. being the petitioners.
1t is the intention of the members of this
Branch to make legal fight for the
money and they will have the battle here
instead OF Indiana. The members are in
formed on what they believe to be good
authority to stand a good show in retain
lug the funds. should the Supreme Court
decide that they must forward their
money to the supreme receiver. they will
undoubtedly do SO.
One reason why the members think that
they cannot be made to forward their
funds to headquarters, is that the su-
prcme body has not kept its part of the
contract.
The case came before the Supreme Court
yesterday. The subpoena, together with
citation, Is returnaDle on Saturday. the
18th inst. at 10 o'clock A. NJ. A decree
of the court was made restraining the de-
PENDANTS, Leander 4. Manchester, Will
liam II. Sherman, Rufus L. Matteson
and William IL. Worrall, from paying
any money belonging to them as trustees
Of local branch 457.

''The Wages Of Sin," strong. English
melodrama, written by Frank Harvey;
IL, - ,,Nsf NNnnann
and other successe-, WAS presented at tue
PROVIDENCE Museum yesterday after
noon and evening to large and appre-
ciative audiences. The play depicts In
graphic manner life in and about Lon

metropolis being realistic and exciting.
The story Is one OF unusual interest, IL
lustrating tho vicissit udes In the life OF a
woman who, by an unwise choice in mar
riage, is taken to London, where she ex-
periences all the hardship and privation
attendant upon a life of poverty and IN

band and her marriage TO her first love

sensational effects, and tue opportunities
which it affords for mechanical anu

effectiveness of the drama. Miss May
Prindle appeared in the pathetic role OF
Ruth Hope, the wronged wife, with u
truthfulness which won for her several
curtain calls. She was ably supported
by Jay Hunt, in the character Of the
Rev. George Brand. A. II. Field did
good work as Stephen Marler. The
comedy in the play Is very pleasing, and
affords Wallace Jackson as Ned Drum

Bloggs ample opportunity 10 display
their capabilities in that direction. The
remaining support was exceptionally

One day when their poor mother, being
worn out with her mornings work,
dressed them very carefully and sent
them into the field to spend the after
noon, after warning that they were
not to 60 near the farm attached to
the house where they lived, and that she
would go to meet them at tea time; they
gave the promise, and skipped of very
glcefully. Mamma Pussie went in and
sighed as she thought Of her happiness
in having three such good little kittens.
Now the first thing they did was to 60
and look for birds, but as they did not
find any, Blackeyes said, Wouldn't 1t be
fun to 60 up to the barn and look for
micef"
Snowie at this seemed quite frightened,
for she knew that whenever they dis
obeyed mother, that some harm always
befel them. SO she remarked, "Don't
you think, Kitty and Buckeyes, that IL
we only wait for mother, she will take us
and perhaps help us?"
But Blackeyes only laughed, and so
finally they all went up and began chas-
ing mice over the dirty floors in the barn.
OF course they got very badly mussed up.
Mamma Pussy was very angry when she
saw them. Kitty's and Snowie's pima
fores were torn and dirty, and they had
all lost their mittens. So mamma gave
them all shaking, and said they should
20 and find their mittens. II was very
late when they returned, very much torn
and dirty.
They were sent up to the nursery to
wash and mend them before they were
allowed to have anything to eat. The
next day you see them early in the morn
ing ironing their mittens. Snowie's
didn't look so clean by daylight, SO she
had to do hers over again. 1t proved q
good lesson to them and they will be
careful not to disobey their mamma again.
