Some Fashion Notes.

A jaunty arrangement for q woman with
a long neck is to take a yard and a half
of siX-inch ribbon and edge just enough in
the middle of 1t with lace to go around her
Eeck. Then make the ribbon in three folds
and tie in the back so that the two ends
and two loops are exactly of a size. 1t
looks stunning. Plaid ribbon is particularly
pretty treated this way. To make it more
effective you may strap the collar of your
dress with bands of lace through which to
run the ribbon.
One of the odd combinations that will be
much in favor this winter is brown with
black A black satin skirt, for instance.
to be worn with a brown coat long
brown cape, and brown hat trimmed with
black The combination can't be made
pretty. but if handsome woman dons it
it will carry "a heap OF style" and that is
all that's necessary.
Heavy, board-like satin is the favorite
wedding 1own material, and the maid of
Christmas, anyhow. Just three great big
white ones, which will typfy 'luck, love
and long life," SO a dear little girl-bride
told me the other day. She said she meant

possible, so horse shoes that would fit a
chrysanthemums will decorate the arch
under which they will be married. and an
old pair of shoes beautifully hand painted
in white chrysaEthemum design are all
made ready by her maid of honor to throw
after her she departs.
Another pretty fad for autumn brides is
the linen shower"
The girl friends of the bride give her a
farewell dinner, and each guest brings to
the feast a piece or pieces of fine linen as
a contribution to the linen closet of the
bride-elect. 1t is a pretty, inexpensive and
sensible fad.

1t is rare thing for one to see a stain on

ing the animals probably has something to
do with this freedom from moisture and
dripping. The animals are not bled before
being killed, as might be inferred from the
absence of moisture but they are killed in
such a manner that veins and arteries are
emptied quickly and thoroughly. After this
the animal is bouffee, that is, filled with
wind. The large al terieS are pressed open

in them. While the bellows are being

WILL NOT HANG.
The Death Sentence of Clyde Mstt0E
commuted TO Life Imprisonmeat.
His Mother Disappointed.

Washington dispatches announce
that the president has commuted the
death sentence Of Clyde Mattox TO
life imprisonment in the penitent-
iary. His case Is one well under
stood by our readers. There are
many people here and throughout
Texas. where Clyde was best known,
who believed he would not be per
mitted to die on the gallows and they
will rejoice TO know that executive
clemency has been extended to him,
though the sentence imposed seems
excessive. After reciting the par
ticulars % the crime OF which he was
convicted and sentenced the dis
patch gives the presidents reasons
for clemency rs follows:
"It is with much hesitation that
can show any measure Of clemency
in this case, inasmuch as / do not
regard this convict as entitled to any
sympathy because of his former life
or testimony taken on his trial I
have concluded, however, after an
anxious and Perplexing cousidera-
ton Of all the facts presented 20 me,
to save the convict frou the daGshr
sentence OF the court, and az the
same time TO effectively protect So
ciety in the future against his vicious
propensities, by directing his inn
prisonment during bis life.
Il am constrained 70 this course
solely because I cannot shut out the
fear that certain testimony offered
upon his trial, and excluded by the
court, and which a strong minority
Of the supreme court have held
should be received, might, II admit
ted, have produced a result more
favorable to the convict, and prob
ably averted his sentence Of death"
Mattox Is now in the United States
prison at Fort Leavenworth. His
mother, Mrs. Hatch, is also At Leav-
enworth.
A special from LeRvenworth 10 the
Kansas City Times in relation to the
Communication Of sentence says:
Mrs. Hatch, mother OF Clyde Mat
tox, was seen at the National hotel
tonight by a Times correspondent,
and asked II she was satisfied with
the action Of the president In com
muting the sentence OF her son to
life imprisonment. ~ am bitterly
disappointed, - was her prompt reply.
"In what respect2"
II had reasons TO believe that the
Communication Of the sentence would
be made Ave years in the Peniten-
tiary."
