Facts Regarding Feminine Fads. Fancies
and Furbelows.
The most stylish evening gloves at
the present moment are of pale, creamy
primrose-yellow of softest suede.
The cape on the back OF the bonnet,
which has so long been abjured, is re-
vived on some of the novelties received
from Paris
There is no bonnet which is just now
more fashionable than one of white
cloth trimmed in dark fur with paste
ornaments.
A stylish gown of dark camers hair
is made with a yolled blouse, belted in
Russian fashion, with a ruche of moss
trimming and rows of gold and black
braid on the blouse and skirt
A stylish and useful gown for present
and early spring wear is of either black
or blue serge. with bell skirt and an
Eton jacket worn over a gay little red
surah-silk blouse figured in black.
A trimming much in favor in demi-
dress is narrow bouillonee of velvet,
four inches at most, placed at the ex-
treme edge of the skirt. This makes
dressy finish, while also giving support
to and helping to keep the skirt in
place.
The new batistes have open stripes
like drawn work and come in light
tinted and white grounds, also in black
and navy blue, powdered with pretty
flowers as large as life and quite truth
full in color.
A novelty of the moment is the poke
bonnet. A pretty one recently received
from Paris is of black velvet lined with
pink. The small crown is of jet and
silver, nearly covered with soft pink
velvet roses. The long pink-velvet
strings are about two inches wide.
Satin, it is said, is one of the ''com-
ing materials. Black satin hats and
bonnets, wraps and gowns, are decided
ly fashiona BILE abroad. At the same
time they are extremely trying, and to
many women exceedingly unbecoming.
There is a hardness about black satin
which can be compensated for only by
a profusion of rich jet trimmings, lace,
passementerie, chiffon, or something
similar.
Liberty silk, in different shades, is
made up with n moderately full skirt,
shirred to disappointed bodice that is
fastened at the back. The sleeves are
a deep puff that reaches to the elbow
and the half-low neck is finished with a
falling fiounces of lace. The skirt of
the hem is bordered with five rows of
narrow satin ribbon the shade of the
dress. Sometimes the skirt is accordion
plated.
The new veilings are mostly spotted,
the dots either of silk, chenille or COM
position gummeb on tulle. Colored
spots are often seen, but besides danger
to the eyesight, the effect on the wear
er is not pleasant. making her look as
if she had been tattOoed, the natural
moisture on the face often melting the
composition; or, again, when the dots
are of silk, and particularly when red,
giving her the appearance of being the
subject of very severe case of small

An Ingenious Argument to Save Hi


An Ingenious Argument to Save Him
From the GalIows.
The Supreme Court listened yesterday
afternoon TO the argument in the McNulty
case on an application for reLearing. Nc
Nulty is under sentence OF death and his at
torneyS are making a desperate attempt to
save his neck. Their arguments were in
genious to the last degree.
The court has taken the position that the
law passed by the Legislature, requiring
that all executions shall take place at the
State Prison, cannot apply to sentences
passed before its enactment, otherwise it
would be, to that extent, an ex post factO
law. This gives a cue to the attorneys
which they are quick to Sc re.
They maintain that if the law is net eX
pest fact0 1t is constitutional, and if constl-
tuti0nal it certainly repeats all laws repug-
nant to it; therefore the law compelling the
Sheriff to execute the death penalty has
been repealed and McNulty cannot be
hanged by him. If this position is SuS-
tanned land the Chief Justice expressly de-
clared that the court is unanimously Of that
opini0n) McNulty will not hang
Attorney General Hart, fer the people,
took the position that the law is px post
facto. and therefore demonstrations and
even If not Section 800 Of the Political Code
prevented its interference with sentences
already passed. The section referred to is
as follows:
1929 The repeal Of any law creating a GRIM
inal OffenSe does not constitute a bar to the IN
dictment or information and punishment OF an
act already committed in violation OF the law so
Hent or Information and punishment IS eX'
pTessiy declared IN the repeating act.

The London Times comes to
the defence of missionaries in China 1t
says The only real interpreter of the
thought and pr lgress of the West to the
millions of China is the missionary; and
when we remember that European knowl-
edge of China is derived almost wholly
from the works of missionaries, we may
fairly say that these men stand as interpre-
tiers between the East and the West. AS
TO charity, we can only answer that
China had efficient hospitals or medical
attendance until the missionaries establish
ed them, and in truth she has no other now;
and when her great men, such as Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Chun, are in serious
danger they have TO go to the despised mis-
sionary doctor for that efficient aid which
no Chlnaman can give them"
The New York Independent, in
a recent issue, contains some statistical
work gathered from the latest returns ac-
cessible. 1t forms great array of argu-
ments, in the form of figures, for enlarged
support of foreign mission. The IndeDe7e-
dent says: The churches can see what a
splendid constituency has been created in
the dark lands of savagery and in the not
less difficult lands of heather civilization.
AT more than 10000 stations $500 mission
aries and nearly $4,000 native preachers are
presenting the same word of life to the
most diverse congregations, and over Co.,
UOO communicates 60 TO make a body of
Christians won from the various forms of
false religion TO the one true spiritual
faith, of whom the Church at home may
take LESSONS in conservation and courage
The Missionary Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church has in its for
eign missions Excluding Lower California;
The following members and probationers !:
In heather lands, 1915; in Protestant
land lin Europe), Al ALB in Roman Cath
olic lands, 5,967 in Greek Church lands
(Bulgaria), III; total of 1926. In 1891
there were expended from the regular ap-
preparations for these missions, in heather
lands, 1915, 62750; in Protestant lands,
$93,38O19; in Roman Catholic lands, $147,-
654.S3 in Greek Church lands, $17,539.

The highest legal authority of
the British government has decided that
