A row Of rhinestones as big as peas may

Ion by making only tasteful show of
sparkling ornamentation, and can thus
be entirely stylish and sensible at the
same time.
A style of garniture that has not yet
won as general acceptance as the one
just mentioned is the liberal use, on
bodices especially, but on skirts at
times, of silk cord trimming. This is
an entirely new trick and one that is
safe from being carried so far as to
make 1t seem overdone, two points that
recommend 1t highly. An exceedingly
pretty example of its use Is presented
in the first sketch, where the fabrics are
brown crepon and white etainnie. The
skirt has ten cores shaped into round
godets, and narrow strips of the white
stuff are set in at the side seams. Rows
of steel buttons come down the sides
of these bands and are connected by
loops of brown silk cord. The
bodice has white vest and loose sides
with wide revers, the vest being gar
nished in the center with pleat of
white crepe chiffon which narrows to-
ward the waist. The skirts buttons
and cord-loop garniture Is repeated on
the front of the bodice and on the
sleeves, and the sleeves are covered
with guipure. A full bow of chiffon is
added to the white turned-down collar.
BY these ornate revers a suggestion
of jacket effect is afforded, but the re-
hinder is but slight one, for jacket
bodices to be successful must be en-
tirely unique. The same Is true of
capes, fo- we have now had several
months of elbow capes that are as stiff
rs skirts and about equally os plain,
and this style has ruled with so high
n hand that departures from 1t must
assert themselves positively or fall in
hopeless disfavor. The stiflly fluted
shoulder cape hardly seems just the
thing for summer despite its wide ac-
ceptance, and 1t seems as IL all the de-
signers need to do to displace 1t Is to
devise something that is dressy and

comes up greatly modified. 1t will be
found in the concluding picture, in gray
mohair, very prettily trimmed with
white silk embroidery, which also
shows on the sleeves. The vest beneath
may be of any material and color, but
In making II, 1t should be remembered
that the jacket is short and loose in
back. A jaunty cape embroidered to
match the rest comes over all, and the
seams Of the skirt are ornamented with
white galloon. ~
Mohair in white is being used this
season as white duck was last. 1t Is
quite as becoming and vastly more SER
viceable, for 1t holds its stiffness In
damp weather, sheds its dust and al
ways has delightfully."- fresh look.
Made with full skirt and an Elton jack
ct, both lined with white MORE, and
worn over bag bodice of white MORE,
nothing could be handsomer Nor
should n woman need feel that such a
plan will be spoiled IL she uses plain
percaline instead of MORE.
Some dressmakers are lining mohair
skirts with mohair, thus attaining q
handsome finish and lots of stiffness.
White pearl buttons are always used.
White mohair is also made up elabor-
ately with lace and ribbons, almost as
silk might be. This hardly seems wise
or tasteful, but a blouse waist of white
mohair, trimmed with straps of satin,
satin collar and rhinestone buttons
worn with satin skirt was unmistak-
ably swagger.

Man WITH . Red Nose Will Not h

II was on q Sixth avenue elevated
train going uptown. says the Detroit
Free Press. A man with red nose
which terminated In a knob got on at
Franklin street and sat down beside
little girl about 8 years OF age, who
was accompanied by brother of II.
She was sharp-eyed, handsome child,
and after a few minutes the red-nosed
man felt his heart warm to her, and he
said:
"well, little girl, are you going some

She looked up. but made no answer,
and after minute he smiled more
blandly and continued:
"You are an awfully nice little girl,
and wish l had some candy for you.
Is that your brother?"
"Say. misterv' called the boy as he
leaned forward, ''you don't know much
about children, do your"
"Yes, know all about 'em."
swell, then, you can take your chances
with her."
Chances? What chancesT'
"Why, IL you get her to talking she'll
Jpn ask you all about that nose o.
your'n, and If you don't want to give
1t away you'd better keep still.
Six passengers on the opposite seat all
began to grin at once, and the man
with the nose got up and solemnly and
stiffly marched up the aisle and opened
the door and dropped into seat in the
next car. He thought he knew al about
children, but that boy had given him q
pointer never to be forgotten.

full bodice first appeared months ago,

Gov. Charles Il. O'Ferrall welcomed the
delegates, saying that the selection of that

of the valley of Virginia is of Scotch-Irish
descent. The society was organized at
Columbia, Tenn, in 1880, and meets for

In the lower head is an opening al

Joints prevent smoke and gases from

Great Conspiracy to Burn Buildings In
New York Is Unearthed.
The investigation which has been con-
ducted into the origin of the numerous
fiat house and other fires in various parts
Of New York city has led to the disclosure
of huge plot to burn buildings for the
insurance. On the confession OF one Oh
the chief instruments in the conspiracy,
corroborated by documentary ana otner
evidence, it would appear that for hve
wears or more a commission of fre insur-
ance adjusters, public fire adJusters, n
policeman, attaches of the fire marshais
Offices, attaches of the district attorney
Office. and hired incendiaries have made
business of setting fires, and have thriveh
al the proceeds. They did not content
themselves with setting such fires as came
In their way. One or more OF their men
drummed trade as commercial travellers
would. They went to merchants IN New
York and Brooklyn, coolly set forth the
advantages of fire, and offered for sigma
fure a contract stating the percentage OF
Insurance money which they should re-
ceive for their trouble.
