HUGGED A BAD MAN.
How Suburban belle Bngged n
PickpOcket.

Miss Josie Hartman, Is years old is one
of the prettest girls in Englewood, says the
Chicago Tribune. She covered herself with
glory last night and at the same time Rugged
one of the most notorious thieves in the
country. Miss Hartman was a passenger in
Sixty-thrd street electric car and with her
were many Engewood people. Among the
passengers was A, j. Mcdonald a prosper
GUS member of the Stock exchange, whose
apparel showed that he was a man of means
That fact attracted the eyes of Tom Lyons
who. with others of the light fingered gentry
have been working the electric ears for some
time to the financial detrment of many pas
sengers. AS the car started up the Sixty
first street viaduct Lyons, who was looking
for job, swung himself aboard and soon
worked himself to a position close to Mr..
Mcdonald. He soon got to work and had it
is said, the mans wallet containing $100 in
his hand. Some passengers saw the act
and cried Thieves and Lyons, thrusting
the wallet back into McDonald's pocket, tried
to escape Several passengers rushed at
him, but little Miss Hartman was first, and
seizing the fleeing thief by the coat tails
Joined the others in a cry for help. Lyons
tried harder than ever to get away, and the
little woman got closer to him and was car
ried out to the platform by the fellows rush.
Just then Officers Rooney and Thomas, who
CHANGED to be on the sidewalk and heard
the commotion, rushed to the rescue of Miss
Hartman, and Lyons was made prisoner

Every well ordered layette should count at
least four bath robes, simply large squares

about the edges with tapes.
One Of these should be placed upon a rung
OF the screen along with the towels at each
bath, right to hand, where the mother or
nurse may secure it, and deXterously spread
1t upon her lap, at the critical moment, when
baby is lifted all squirming and dripping from

the water and yet protect the clothing of the
mother or attendant. Its ample size will af-

child, as its little body is dried. protecting the
tender flesh from all undue exposure and cold.

girls milk white skin. 1t was simply
gathered in the waist and worn with a loose
sash belt OF the same material.
Another natty and useful frock for sea-
shore wear that seemed almost to have
taken a hint from childish toggery was OF
dark blue English serge with a great sailor
collar and big turnback cuffs covered en-
tirely with narrow braid in alternate rows
OF red black and beige.
But alas the girl who wore this gown
would not stand still long enough to be
sketched.
POPULAR FABRICS.
Brown novelty wool, roughly tufted and
showing an underthread of orange, COM
poses the toilet with the cape, which has
lately been designed for dressy mountain
wear. The bodice is laid in three pleats over
strips Of orange satin covered with cream
batiste, and the cape lining is plain silk
in beautiful yellows and browns. The high
soldierlooking collar cuffs and belt are
made of the gown stun lined with linen can
vas and heavily stitched, and at the cuff
the sleeves button over which, by the way,
is a very comfortable arrangement for sleeves
that are intended to fit snugly at this point.
The remaining toilet is brown whipcord
with only close stitching as decoration, and
the cape is of cheeky cheviot, in blue and
white, with a silk lining in a deep buckle
berry blue.
The hat Of the brown toilet is a brown
rough straw sailor in what is known among
English hatters as a three-by-three shape.
The Alpines are of the same texture as
the garments with which they are pictured,
and though many of these very useful hats
are being seen with only band trimming,
others have sometimes a great bow on one
side, as is the case with the one shown with
the cape costumes.
If the hat is of straw the ribbon is usually
Of only plain black gros grain; If it is of
fancy wool to match costume, both band
and bow may be Of satin ribbon in some gay
tint. And If the gown Is to be worn where
winds whistle summer as well as winter-by
chilly lakes or in the msts of mountain
peaks-the gayer the tints the better, say
fashion authorities NINA FITCH.

the way, should be navy blue or dark green

my blue-eyed maids, before II is time to
appear at the tea-table and see If things
can not be bettered little? First, let me
tell you before you go on a water excur-
sion to thoroughly bathe face, neck and
hands with any pure cold cream an excellent
preparation for warding off and removing
sunburn, that can be bought at any drug
gists. Then when you enter your room all
heated and tired on your arrival home first
take a sponge bath, and after it fill a deep
basin with luke-warm water, and into il
boldly plunge your face, holding your breath
and closing your eyes, Keep il there as
long as possible without breathing. then
come to the surface" take a deep breath
and try it again, repeating the process a
number of times. Gently dab your face dry
with a soft towel, afterward sponging il
lightly with alcohol, and sit, or, what Is bet
ter, lie down and rest a half hour or longer
At the end of that time you will find your
color will have perceptlbly diminished, and a
little baby powder deftly applied will remove
the shiny appearance and tone down the
over-redness effectively. On retiring for the
night bathe the face. neck and arms again,
and apply the cold cream as before directed.

NEW YORK, Aug. Autumn and win
ter modes are as yet blessings Of the future,
but some very stunning midseason things
are to be seen for mountain and seashore
wear.

shaplngs are concerned, show no appreciable
divergence from the styles OF the spring;
but skirts are much less stffened. 1t is re-
marked. and though fitting more closely about
the hips. in some cases, indeed, as snugly as
a yoke, they are as plain as ever
The 1880 sleeve, which is an accompaniment
OF very long shoulder seam and a dropping
puff that hangs low on the arm, is more used
for evening gowns. With street costumes,
too there seems a growing tendency toward
the lengthening of the shoulder seams, but
the same familiar mutton legs OF the win

THE "MENDIANT."
Again certain low crowned narrow brmmed
sailors, especially those shown by English
men milliners, will have trimmings Of fruit
that are star,lngly natural. One sailor in
this shape recently seen, owned together with
mixed nuts, bunch of raisins, a brilliant
love apple, tiny mandarin and great opal
tinted Refine Claude plum. The sole other
trimming to the hat, which was of rough
red and brown straw, was a wide bias of
coarse white bunting that swathed the crown
loosely, the fruits being heaped at the left.
Taken collectively these fruit hat trim
mings are dubbed by milliners ""mendicants"
--beggars. And though an American woman
Is said to have had the distinction Of having
the first trimming OF this sort at the last

A CAPE AND GOWN.
ana now 10 cnange the subject from bats
to gowns. Among the mid-seaSon things
mentioned. four costumes and a cape for
chilly days. all Of which are here pictured,
were noticeable for their extreme good looks
and usefulness.
The stunningest gown Of the lot has a
brown mixed cheviot woven with black and
an occasional "pois'' of scarlet; 1t is shown
in the cut, which represents the bodice with
long shoulder seams and three straps, which
are OF plain scarlet hunters cloth over cream
batiste. The straps end in little peplum
tails below the belt, and at the back and
bust they are loosened to allow bias scarf
OF black satin to Iass under all around the
shoulders, forming a complete yoke effect
and holding the sleeves down at the top In
approved 1880 fashion. The sleeves alone of
the bodice match the skirt in texture. and the
hat is black rough straw with scarlet birds.
This toilet, it may be interesting to know,
was worn chilly afternoon last week at
Newport by one Of New York's smartest
women.
