New York Sun these suggestions of the
latest expressions of the modified modes:
Tho first idea which may be utilized
by the woman unfortunate enough to
have to plan her own things is embodied
in q gown of black satin diagonally
striped in inch wide wales, as the men
call them, of glossy finish, with dull
thread dividing them. Around the bot
tom is tiny ruffle of plain black satin,
not quite two inches wide, with a head
ing. Over this is gathered narrow
ruffle of white lace in open meshes and
sewed on just in the gathers of the satin
rutfie, showing the satin heading and a
bit Of the ruffle at the bottom.

odd little coat, rufflcd at the lower edge
with lace, has lace ruffies in the sleeves

in beneath tho coat. Other simpler
gowns are made of these washable fab

BOLD ROBBERS. THESE,
Over Carload OF Lumber Openly Re
moved From Different Piles.

Over a Carload OF Lumber Openly Re-
moved From Different Piles.
What is no doubt the boldest system
OF robbery that was ever concocted in
this city has just come to light. For
several months A. L. Marshall, M. +.
Garner and Jacob M. Mangus, who are
contractors and builders have been
missing lumber in large quantities,
which was piled in different lots about
the city.
Strong suspicion indicated that John
ii. Kidd, colored, and Leonard Clark,
white, were implicated and yesterday
afternoon warrants were issued and
they were arrested on the charge of
stealing the lumber.
1t is claimed that the plan adopted
was to go to a pile of Jumbo with two
or three drays and several men, and
boldly measure up ana enter on q book
the lumber that they won d proceed to
load upon the drays. creating the i'm
preston among people passing and re-
siding in the vicinity, that the lumber
had been purchased.
Within the past few days tho depre-
dations have been conduct on the
Wholesale plan, and Mr.. Marshall alone
has lost over a car load of lumber.
The case will be examined in police
court this morning, when Judge A. j.
Brand will represent the common
wealth.

The round wasted bodice, whether
plain. gathered or draped, is that most
generally adopted, although short peaks
are permitted when more becoming to
the figure. Sleeves pulled up above tho
shoulders are now quite gone out of fash

part. but come sloping down from tho
shoulders, draped to the elbow and then
clinging to the wrists. This shape is
moro graceful than the balloon sleeve,
which is still fashionable. but becoming
