in trimmings.
Silk muslin. crepe lisse, linen and lawn

to-day.
Large ribbon bows are worn at the
back OF the neck with dressy costumes.
The effect of these bows in combination
with the broad bows that adorn tho

the merchant received the money he went to the

The 'audaciy" OF the newspapers in the way

ing the police scandals Is enough to take your

they are revelations" when the fact is the

rupt doings; It was as open as the day; every

Circusmnn booth Gave Written
Evidence of His Inhdelity.


Judge McAdam OF the Superior Court.
has granted an absolute divorce. on the
statutory ground. to Lizzie Amelia
Booth from Charles Edward Booth.
The suit was brought on behalf OF
Mrs. Booth by Lawyer Louis Steckler,
Of 275 broadway, who produced a letter
written by Booth to his wife, acknowl-
edginS and admitting his intimacy with
other women. and stating that he would
not live with his wife again. The letter
was sent TO Mrs. Booth by her husband
from Birmingham, England.
The evidence of witness to the i'm
morality practised by Booth was oh
taned by issuing II commission to Bir-
mingham. England. to examine resi-
dent OF that place by the name OF
Charles Mock. who testified sufficiently
to warrant Judge McAdam In granting
an absolute divorce.
The parties to the action are we'll
