TIE MATTEAu.

There is one, for instance. which NAV be
termed the Vatican run-mad. Besides
the great double plat down the back
there is one on either side. 1t Is an ugly
hut an effective garment. The Vatican
sack viii be retained. This garment may
be described by reference to the upper
garment which the clown wears in pan
fomime. and the origin Of the style Is, in
fact. Watteau's conception Of the French
GiBes-the village rustic who figures IN oil
their pantomime plays. The coat will be
seen IN faced cloth. with full sleeves of
velvet. Later it is to be produced entirely
in velvet.
Another cloth garment has the front.
consisting of fitted waistcoat extending
below the waist. From the shoulders the
sides OF the coat hang loosely apart, form
ing part Of the-wide. shapeless back.
From behind it will not be apparent that
one ever possessed waist. From shoul-
der TO knee one is a mere bolster-case.

KEYNOTE OF THE FASHION.

This looseness of attire extends, how
ever. only to the wraps. The gowns ac-
centuate the figure even more distinctly
than before. The keynote IS great fulness
at the shoulders and not a superfiuous
fold at the hips. IL is important that the
curve from the bust down over the hips
should be perfectly defined and unbroken
by 80 much as q crease. This has led TO the
| adoption OF corselet and princesse styles
| innumerable. Strange as 1t IL. there is a
| distinct fashion in figure. Long-waisted-
ness has long been a prerequis te at a
stylish form. The result has been that
every woman IS long wasted. And yet no.
| thing is more artificial than this variation,
and the effect has been produced entirely
| by clever cutting and clever corsetting.
DeBu-sdis1H wraps include pelerlnes,
shoulder capes, and msntelets of black
lace. They are very graceful garments and
permit the exhibition of pretty toilets be-
meath,

There are some people in town who think
the School Board has not acted wisely in
deciding to have no exhibit in the public
school department of the Worlds Fair. They
claim that an exhibit from this section would
be interesting from the mere fact that it
would show what the children of the an
thracite fields of Pennsylvania are doing in
the public schools This opinion is shared by
many and it is not an insignificant one. Our
schools could send exhibits that would com
pare very favorably with some work done in
the schools of larger places

was no means by which the couple could re-
turn to their homes by rail and they con.
cluded to walk. The route taken was down
South Main street and out the Pennsylvania
railroad and along path on the hill south of
the Shenandoah City colliery strippings. The
road is a very lonesome one, but as the couple
were well acquainted with it they had no
fears.
Miss Morris and her escort were walking at
a pretty lively pace and had well ascended

look. At the same moment the stranger
jumped forward and struck him with some
unknown instrument he carried in his hand.
The blow was intended for the head, but fell
short and struck the young man with con-
siderable force on the left shoulder
Realizing the strangers intentions the escort
grappled with him and the young lady who
had meanwhile retraced her steps screamed
for help, Two Polish miners who were on
their way to town from work, heard the
screams and run over the brow Of the hill,
but before they could give any assistance the
stranger broke away and ran down towards
the strippings.
He is described as being stouty built
fellow of about 30 years of age and dressed
very much after the fashion of a tramp.
Miss Morris and her escort continued their

any bogus bills on hand and to give infor-

A number of business men of town circled

and listened to his thrilling tales of the pur-
suit and capture of counterfeiters and gazed
with surprise at bogus bills and photographs
he produced.
Mr.. Dye gave no intimation of what new
counterfeits were on the market, but it was
said by one gentleman who was in consulta-
tion with him, that some crooked ten dollar
bills may be expected any day.
