LONDON, Dec. 2l.-There Is one phase
OF tho war scare which deserves special
attention, not only in Eoglsnd, but in
the United States. The alarming re-
ports circulated have been aeiz-d upon
by the English agricultural party as
justification for the demands which they
have recently made upon the govern
ment for change in the policy of Great
Britain from free trade to protection.
James Lowther. M ember parliament,

Times and showing the grave condition

CLEVER MISS SIMMS
For Many Years She Led Happy
Double Life.
Would Never Have Been Discovered Had
She Been Satisfied with Two Hus-
bands-A Country Girls Matri-
monial Escapades.

A detective who for seven years was
confidential man under Inspector
Littleohild in the criminal investigation
department of Scotland Yard talked
about double life and discussed the
ease with which a woman who keeps
her wits about her may carry on for
years deception of this sort without
much risk of detection.
"a man infatuated with woman"
he said to New York Herald reporter,
Twill believe almost anything she tells
him. 1t is a singular thing that ro-
mantle stories of this kind are usually
made public through some lawsuit that
has no connection with the romance.
once came across most remarkable
case of duplicity in a woman through
chasing up some bonds of the London
& Northwestern railway that had been
stolen from house near Seton park,
in Liverpool.
"a nice-looking little woman of the
name of Simms kept millinery shop
in the London road. A steward on one
of the Guion boats-Bull was his name
met her at some entertainment or
other and married her. He was at sea
most of the time, and it was agreed
that she should keep up the millinery
business until they had saved money
enough for both of them to stop work.
Bull was man well liked by the COM
pany and was always busy. He was
not ut home more than three OF four
days each month. He always found his
wife waiting for him in their home at
Bootle, suburb Of Liverpool, where .
great many of the men employed on the
Atlantic liners live. Mrs. Bull kept
the name of Simms on her sign, and
no one in the shop knew she was mar
ried.
"a drummer from Oldham who sold
her goods certainly did not know it, TO-
he became a most persistent wooer aud
wanted to marry her. Finally, when
Bull was away on one of his voyages
she went to his home in Oldham and
married him. His parents were delight
ed with her. In this second marriage
1t was decided not to give up the mil.
linery business for the time being.
Furnished rooms were engaged not far
from the shop, and here, whenever the
drummer was in Liverpool, he used to
live with the woman he believed to be
his WIFE, Occasionally he used to take
her home to his parents to spend Sum
day. She went there when her first
child was born.
"Bull, who was at sea at the time,
thought she was with her sister in Man
chester. She took the child to Liver
pool to see him, and persuaded him, as
she had SO much to do in the shop, to
leave the little one In the sisters care.
He consented. 1 do not know how
this woman managed to keep Up this
sort Of thing without detection for
teny ears, but she did manage it some
how.
''She might never have been discov-

and long, narrow buckles at one side.
These six frocks were made exactly
alike, and this shows artistic sense, for
to have two bridesmaids in one color
and two more in another, and so on. is
a horror too often perpetrated. The
great trailing train was swept across
the cloth, and we saw the bridal robe
a perfectly plain white dress, of the
heavy bride-satin, as it is called. It
was fastened in the back, and bertha
of rare old lace was drawn across the
shoulders. and tied in knot at the bust
with short ends. reaching the waist. 1t
was most quaint, and asked madame
if was not an unusual wedding gown.
Her reply was:
Eyes, but we thought it would be a
little bit original to have Miss -
gowned in this artistic way on the day
of the wedding. She is an exquisitely
hcortiful girl Of the Erglish type. and

but one did not wish it otherwise. The
veil was to be of the same lace as the
bertha, both being heirlooms, and a
diamond sunburst was to fasten it di-
rectly in front, out no other jewels

hue, when, even III these ~hot June
days, is crowded with busy shoppers,
reveling in fresh, summary frocks and
bonnets.
The modiste's rooms are perfectly ap-
pointed, and it was luxury to sink
into an easy chair, while Marie, the deft
maid, spread out great clean sheet on
the floor to protect the gowns from the
carpet.
Why women who are going to be
married should buy SO many frocks 1
cannot understand. One can't, try as
one Will, wear more than certain
number of frocks in season, and the
result is that they grow old-fashioned,
yet are perfectly good and have done
no service. 1t Is so much better to
have new gowns oftener, and wear out
those in the wardrobe.
''The BRIDE" said madame, sis tall.
fair-haired girl, and she has chosen the
best of everything in the market
under my supervision.
The fashionable dressmaker always
desires you to be under her guidance.
She dislikes ones having too MUCK in
dividual taste, or too pronounced an
opinion about frock. Indeed, unless
you are very firm, and really annoy her,
she will tell you precious little about
how your gown is to be made.
Everything is surprise, and when
you have asked:
''Are you going to use green velvet
around the waist or black??" the answer
is likely to be:
'Nimporte," wait end see. And then
when one does see the frock, one doesn't
know it. This plan has its advantages
and disadvantages. II you want
thing very much you are likely not to
get it; but what you do get may be
better than your wishes.
First we saw the bridesmaids toi-
lies, and they were dainty and sim
pie to degree, which make them more
artistic than modish-there IS a great
difference, You know. 1t is to be a
white and yellow wedding, with yellow
roses as the flowers.
The frocks were of white mousseline
de sole. over white satin. and the skirts
were absolutely untrimmed Around
the bottom was deep hem reaching
half way to the knees. The soft, full
waist had immense bouffant sleeves TO
the elbow, and were drawn down over
the white satin lining with Slight
fullness in the front. while the collar
was frilled band of the mousseiine
with rosettcs at either side Around
the waist was drawn a broad yellow
satin sasha regular old-fashioned
broad sash, and it tied in full bow at
the back. This touch was so charming
