The richness of the corsage added to the
trimming on the skirt and the fineness
of the material makes most elegant
and dressy costume, which becomes
plain by comparison when the outer gar
ment is on.
Some Of the dresses made in this style
have at the bottom just the band of fur,
and then large pattern in applique
velvet embroidery headed and finished
by narrow gold or silver cord. The
cloak reaches to below the knees, SO that
the fur border on that reaches nearly to
the fur band below and almost hides the
rich embroidery, and thus makes the
dress rich, but modest enough for the
street. When the cloak is removed the
superb garniture of waist and skirt
makes gown fit for the grandest recep-
tion.
These are usually made of fine ladies'
cloth and the most effective are vieux
rose and biscuit color. Tan and green
also come up well under this treatment.
The corsage shown in this costume is
made like peasant waist, with the top
scalloped and embroidered on the edge
with very narrow gold braid, and the
scalIops are laid on a background of up
standing fur like that on the skirt. The
upper part of the waist is of jonquil
surah, dotted with small jet nailheads.
The upper part of the sleeves are the
same and the lower Of the embroidered
cloth. The peasant corsage has long
point in front, which is richly en-
broidered in lengthwise pattern. have

intimation of tn" courts decision was
through a private telegram directed to
him at his residence on Chestnut street.
He was taken completely by surprise,
and his wife and family were pros
trated with grief
Mr. holland recognized that the next
proceeding would be for the marshal of
the court to come here and convey him
to the penitentiary and he at once con-
cludcd to avoid this humiliating expert
ence by at one going to jefferson City
and delivering himself to the warden.

During the afternoon Mrs. hollands
illness from the shock became quite
serious and after a consultation with
his cousin and lawyer. Mr.. Chas.
holland. Mr.. holland decided to re-
main over till his cousin could go
to jefferson City and file motion for
rehearing in the case. In accordance
with this programme Mr.. Chas. holland
left last night for jefferson City where
ne will this morning file the motion.
Mr.. Noland will await the action of the
cosrt on this motion before surrender
ing himself, and it is probable the mat
ter will not be disposed of for several
days. unless the court takes up the mat
ter at once.
Mr. holland. on being seen asst night,
said: Il was much surprised at the de-
cision of the supreme court in my case,
OF course ] have not seen the opinion,
and even if had am not competent
to criticise it, So ] will leave criticisms
to those more competent to suggest
them. | have never thought that
would have to go to the penitentiary,
! have an abiding faith that the
court will find in our motion for re-
hearing sufficient reasons to justify
them in changing their decision. How
ever, if the motion for a rehearing is
denied. no officer will be necessary to
take me to the penitentiary. for shall
promptly deliver myself to the warden,
