THE K1TTRBDGE MONUMENT.
a Memorial to the Founder of one of

\ very imposing and substantial piece of
monumental work has been erected this
week on the Kittredge family lot, which lies
on the main avenue dividing the old part

The monument is of Barre granite, in four
heavy pieces, having total height of II
feet and six inches. The base is four feet
nine inches square; the sub base is three
feet, six inches square: the die is six feet
high, and 20 inches square at the bottom,
tapering to u inches at the top. The cap
surmounting the die is three feet square,
with total thickness of two feet, and hav-
ing a weight of $500 pounds. The total
weight of the monument is ten tons, and it
is erected upon a foundation of solid ma

influenced by the action of frost or water
At the four corners of the lot are placed
heavy granite posts, handsomely hewn, and
sunk to a depth which makes them i'm

The inscription, cut on the front face of
the die, reads as follows:

Some New Winter Furs.
FLORETTE.

A furry of snow makes one look longingly
at the handsome fur garments displayed in
windows and show rooms, and though we
NAV not be able to purchase a sable mantle
fit for an Empress, we can at least revel in
the beauties and discover the new styles SO
so that if Fortune should chance to smile
upon US we would know Just what to choose.
A gorgeous sapphire blue cloth coat,
reaching to the edge of the skirt, had a full
lining of fur 1t was slasheS at the back
from the waist line down, and was double
breasted in front, having wide revers of
black fox reaching to the waist. The entire
garment was likewise bordered with the
soft fur.
The plated Russian collarettes in seal
skin are decidedly elegant, either with or
without tabs in front. Persian lamb like
wise makes up well in this style. All the
new sealSkin Jackets are made with loose
backs, which are not pretty though stylish,
and have as one great advantage, a superAu-
ity OF fur that can be utilized in making
over such a garment when tight fitting
modes once more reign.
Nuils grow larger day by day, and the
bigger and snaygier they are the more style
attaches to them. They are worn by rib
bon from the neck, and are quite in touch
with the 1880 gowns, that are so largely re-
vived. Far trimmings of every sort are
employed in every conceivable manner, in
bands, solid crowns for hats, revers and
collars. II is decidedly furry season and
everything from a yellow and very sug-

DIAMONDS are decidedly in bad form in

STRICTLY speaking, sealskin is not correct
in mourning. Astrakhan and Persian lamb
are allowable.

what was best to be done. But never
mind now, dear" she added soothingly,
''get on with your breakfast and then after
wards you can speak to Higgins again on
, tine subject and perhaps you will be able to
devise some plan between you for bringing
this horrid man Wilder to reason"
"And, pray, who may this horrid man
Wilder be?" inquired a young and very
pretty girl who at this juncture entered the
room and sat herself down at the breakfast
table, after kissing both Mr.. Malnwaring
and his wife lovingly and wishing them
'Good morning"
The Squire looked affectionately into the
fair questioner's face ere he answered her.
''Don,,t ask, Gladys" said he, faughingly;
''don't ask il you love me. He has already
spoiled nv breakfast for me, and feel per-
teetlv certain that were / to tell you all

The Squire agreed at once to the terms, as,
indeed, be would have to anything proposed
by his favorite niece.
The only child Of his one sister, lately
dead, Gladys Onslow had taken up her per-
manent abode at Carlton Towers only three
weeks ago, during which short period she
had managed to convert every individual
member of the establishment into being her
devoted slave, including her uncle and aunt

LOVE LETTERS PURLoINED
To Be Used as Evidence by an Injured Hus-

To Be Used as Evidence DY an AnJureu nus
band in a Damage Case.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15-An envelope con-
tanning the ardent love missives alleged to
have been written by Edward Plows, the
confectIoner, to the wife of his friend, Mr..
Christian, which the latter expected to use
effectively in his suit for $780, 900 damages
against the manufacturer of sweetmeats,
was to-day stolen from the office of Attor-
ney G. H. Willett by a smooth-looklng
young man under the guise of reporter.
The pilferer visited the attorneys othce
Tuesday and made an appointment to come
again, and, in his alleged capacity of news
paper man, make a copy Of each letter In
the bundle. The papers were duly turned
over to the ''reporter" as promised.
1t is supposed he intended to leave the
attorneys office at noon, expecting that the
latter would go out for luncheon. Mr.
Willet, however, remained at his desk un-
til o'clock, and by that time the aman-
uensis had no further excuse for remain
ing. Accordingly, he buttoned up his coat
and walked over to Mr.. WIllet with the
envelope. As he reached it out, his hand
trembled, and Mr.. Willet said, sharply,
care all the letters here?" ''Oh. yes" re-
sponded the fellow, moving toward the
door. The moment he reached the threshold
he broke into a run. Mr. Willet hurriedly
glanced at the envelope, saw the letters had
been replaced BY worthless papers and i'm
mediately followed, but the culprit had
vanished.

who, childless as they were, quite looked
upon her as their daughter.
As Tor the Squire, he was perfectly help
less without her, and Miss Gladys was his
constant companion wherever he went.
He declared she was a better Judge of
stock than his bailiff himself, and as for her
knowledge of horsehesh, who was there
about the place who could compete with
her? And how she rode, too! Many and
many time, when accompanying his niece
in her rides, did her uncle regret that his
salad days were over, and that he was no
longer able to pilot her over this place and
that instead of looking on from the broad
back of his favorite cob, while she larked
about at her own free will, for she was un-
commonly fond of riding over q country,

AS her groom said, ''The fence was never
made yet that could stop his young lady

True to his promise, after breakfast the
Squire unbosomed himself to his niece

Lea Farm-''the only farm, by the way, my

PART II.

The stable clock was just striking 1:30,
simultaneously with the rumbling OF the
gong announcing the fact that luncheon was
ready, as Gladys Onslow with her attendant
groom came cantering through the park.
The Squire, who had been waiting for her
for the last half hour, seized hat and
rushed hastily out into the dtable yard,
where he knew she would dismount, to
await her coming with mingled feelings Of
delight at her return and curiosity to know
how she had succeeded on her mission Of
diplomacy with his refractory tenant.
"Here I am, uncle, safe and sound, you
see, and I've had, ohl such lark Brill
iant's legs are full Of thorns, fear, poor
dear" exclaimed happy Gladys her face
flushed with pleasure and excitement, and
looking prettier than ever
Of the horse she jumped in her accus-
toned impetuous fashion, and having ad-
ministered her usual hug she took her
uncle's arm and ordered him to take her
into luncheon at once.
"Well. and how did you get on, my

prettiest bracelet that can be bought for
money. believe it's real good thing
for you, too, you mink, you," he added,
pulling her ear, "tor now 1 come to think
of it, believe I did hear that this obiec-

and now I'm off to put my habit on and

bestowing another kiss on the enraptured
old gentleman, the lively girl rushed from
the room.

uncle, in great glee, hurrying her into the
house as quickly as possible, all agog to
hear her news.
Through some back passages they went,
and then opening green baize door found
themselves in the entrance hall

tered the dining room, where Mrs Main

Have you seen the new miniature peler-
inc? They call it pelerine in Paris, but it's
more like big collar with boa hanging
from it 1t is made of little bit of q
shoulder cape-a cape that just reaches the
shoulders, but doesn't cover them. This
cape, usually made of black velvet, is trim
med with white Mongolian fur.
From the cape rises the highest rolling
collar you ever saw, also in black velvet,
and also trimmed with white fur. Then
two long bands of velvet, about four inchel
wide, are fastened to the collar in front and
fall loosely therefrom to the ground. First,
however, the velvet is turned over at the
top several inches before it is gathered tc
the collar, so that it forms a little jabot.
The outside edges, the bottom and the top
edge, which falls over, are all trimmed
with fur. Five little tails hang from the
bottom.
