GOWNS FOR SUMNER.
Linens Of All Sorts Hold an Exalted POSI-
tion-Thc Irish Flax Fabrics.

Among other novelties this season is
the hOpS;icll linen. Seen at Il little dis
tance, the hopsack linen has all the APP
pcaranCe Of a rich thick silk, and vet it
possesses all the hard wearing and wash
ing pr0pcnSitiCS of an ordinary linen.
The range of colorS is exceedingly good,
soft gray blue being particularly arts
tic, fact which is worthy of note, for
great drawback to the ordinary linens
is the hardness of the coluriug Great
care has been taken, however, to pro-
duCc these linens in the most becoming
shades. The new material is 81 inches
wide, and it is quito sufficiently sub
stantial to make up we'll without any
lining
y great variety of plain linens have
been prepared, and among them there is
to be found the real butcher blue, and
why this most attractive material need
be reminded of its disagreCable extrac-
ton by being labeled "butcher blue"
when by another name 'twould sound
more sweet is Il matter for conjecture
For children $ dresses and shirts a third
light make of linen is to be recommend
ed very strongly. This may be procured
b1((tS tttlNl IN(IS NliltI ilIltS, pretty
brown being included i'll the range of
COlOrs. These materials are all made in
fast ColorS only and are handmade by
the Irish ptasanry. For skirts and
coats, tennis and boating dresses and
covert coats for summer wear these
fabrics are perfection, while the hop
sack linen is quite worthy of taking its
place among tho smart materials which
adorn our persons on great occasions,
while it would equally adapt itself to
the needs of the woman who yearns for
washing tea gown or robe de chambre
of attractive appearance.
The galatCa cOttons, so long used for
childrens sailor suits, are this season
added to the list of fabrics for adults
and are being made up into gowns for
yachting and country wear. They come
in narrow stripes of white, alternating
with blue, red, brown or black, and
also in solid colors.
The old fashioned grass cloth or linen
batiste of pale ecru and tan shades is
made up i'll very chic gowns for mid
summer wear. They are trimmed with
heavy laces i'll points, medallions and
insertions and are given touch of color
by velvet stock and belt of nile green,
turquoise blue, golden brown or pink.
Dimity gowns are again in order, as
are those Of pique swiss and organdie
muslins. Very effective piques have
ribbed stripes of dark blue and white
only quarter of an inch wide. These
are made with a round waist jacket and
deep volant, cut circular and open up
the back. The open fronts have the rev
ers and sailor collar now in vogue,
with an extra white piquo collar but
toned ON invisibly. Pique blazers, cut
short and full in the back, button only
once on the bust, are rounded below to
show vest or shirt and have notched
collar stitched near the edge. Curved
slit pockets are ON the sides.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
Miss Alice DeIowry Brings suit For
$4,000 Against James +. Martin.

Miss Alice DeIowry Brings suit For
$4,000 Against James f. Martin.
strange and surprising turn took place
in the Martin-Delowry case to-day, which
will cause more sensational talk. Attor-
ney O'Neill and Alice Delowry have been
busy for few days and people suspected
something was about to happen. To-day
after consultation Constable James j.
Egan left Attorney O'Neill's office with
some mysterious looking document.
James Z. Martin was first seen by the con-
stable and one of the papers was left in
his charge. The paper was notice to the
effect that Miss Allca Delowry, through
her attorney. John O'Neill, had brought
suit against James Z. Martin for $40, 900
damages for breach of promise.
The allegations are that on or about
the first Tuesday of January, 1892, the
plaintiff. Mt the request of the defendant,
had promised to marry the defendant and
that the defendant had promised to marry
the plaintiff. within reasonable time. No
later than March -, 1894 Miss Delowery,
tho plaintiff, had requested him to do so.
Miss Delowery was recognized in $40
to prosecute the case. The constable
placed an attachment, which was filed in
the town clerks Office, on two pieces of
property with buildings thereon. Ole on
Union street and one on South Elm street.
The Manufacturers bank was next visited
where an attachment was placed on money
or interests of james +. Martin held by
the bank. The bank was also garnisheed
ard the officers summoned into court on
the date named to disclose what they held
belonging to Martin.
Sensational developments will probably
accompany this suit. \ few day AGO an
announcement of the marriage of Miss
Delowrv and Martin was publish I'd. Var

A PLEASANT GATHERING.

Hall Last Night,

Colonel Doherty Inveiglett Into a Buquet
Hall Last Night.
so say we all of us" was the war cry
which created Colonel John B. Doherty
and Daniel E. Fitzpatrick as they entered
Otto Castrop's banquet hall last evening
Colonel Doherty and Postmaster Fitz-
patrick had been Strengthening out post
office affairs until half past nine, when the
postmaster said to the ex-postmaster: What
did the governor well you know the rest.
There is bottle waiting for us at Otto's.
said Dan and forthwith they crossed the
street and entered the place, where sur
prise greeted the colonel.
The table was laid for thirty-two. Here
is the way they sat:
The colonel was given the seat of honor
with Postmaster Fitzpatrick on his right
and the new assistant postmaster, James
w. Fitzpatrick, on his left. The rest of
the party were John w. Hill. j. c. White,
c. w. Hotchklss, G. II. Bailey, G. A.
Jenkins, E. d. Lewis, Peter Fox, G. II.
Tomlinson. G. S. Doherty, J. A. Slavin,
J. W. Ward Thomas O'Reilly, j. H. Gull
foile A. H. Williams, F. X. Woolworth,
Joseph Reid. E. F. Moran. I. A. Warner,
f. NJ. Fitzpatrick, B. F. Kilduff, William
Armstrong. J. j. Kunkel. 0. J. Ziegler,
w. H Precht and r. E. Meyers. Messrs
Curley of the American. Cullen of the
Republican, Thomas of the Herald and E.
L. Maloney of the DEMOCRAT.
After the cheers for the colonel had died
away the boys pushed into the good things
Castrop had prepared and did them justice.
Colonel Dohertys remarks on the great
surprise it was to him and his reference to
his career as postmaster, and his goodbye
to the boys with whom he had been aSsO-
G. tied brought tears to many eyes. his
;ell wishes for the success of all was re-
ceived wit cheers and bumpers.
Father Hill replied in happy strain,
which made the boys feel good again.
Postmaster Fitzpatrick again made the
boys feel rather blue as he referred to his
years of service under the retiring colonel.
He would be satisfied. he said. to retire
with record three-fourths as good as
Colonel Doherty's. At the close of his re-
marks he presented to the colonel in be-
half of the employees of the local office, the
Century dictionary in six volumes. On
the back of each was printed: Presented
to Colonel John B. Doherty by the EN-
ployes of the Waterbury postC flee, May
81. 1921" Colonel Doherty's reply on
accepting the gift was another gem which
made the boys feel again elated.
Assistant James w. Fitzpatrick gave the
wittiest speech of the evening. He said
he could not talk for the Fitzpatricks as
that was more than one man could do He
said he was no speech maker, but he had a
brother who could run like blazes if there
was n postotfice in front of them. He
hoped he would be as successful as his
brother i'll the position he had accepted.
Remarks were then made by various en-
ployes of the office and by members of the
press eulogistic of the retiring and new
L.. -
cheers were given for both. 1t was early
morning Whom the BANQUET broke UP.

How Grammar Won $4,000 In a Day.

Riley Grammar, the young western turf
plungrr and bOOkmakcr who made such
sensational winnings mt san Francisco
early in the season, has been shaking
things up of late near New York. At the
Gravcscnd track May 10 Grammar started
in on tho first race by laying the full mar
kCt price against Don AlOnzo. He was
willing to accommodate all Corners, and
when his sheets were closed he stood to win
SIS, 600 should the colt meet with defeat.
The bulk of this money was n stable
commission, but Grammar accepted it as
gladly as he did the modest IS of the holi-
day visitor He did not think the colt
could win, and the result justified his
opinion, for Don Alonzo finished in sec
ond place.
In the sixth race he laid against the IA
vOritC, Paladin, as long any one want
cd to back him, his own money in the
meantime being placed on La MCrvcillc
at 5 and 10 to |. Tho last named proved
the winner, and Grannan's winnings of
the first race were more than doubled. For
% windup he backed Libcrtinc with every
book that would accept his money, and for
the third time he had picked the right
horse, and it was nearly dark when his
commissioners had cashcd in the last OF
his tickets. How much he won it is diff
cult to say, bur $50, 900 is not far from the
correct figure.
