WeIl-Dressed Women.

Weu-DreS900 women
Fancy braids are still fashiOn2bly
used on many styles of dress Gal
looms both wide and narrow are made
great use of, and are to be found IN
all the dark and some of the neutral
tones, matching plain dress fabrics,
the narrower braids usually finished
with q tiny line of gold or silver at
each edge, or they show shot, shaded,
or Persian mixtures and other fancy
combinations in keeping with tho
varied color schemes of the season.
Alpaca and mohair used to be count
ed an economical purchase, and per
haps they deserve the reputation they
have acquired, but as now sold they
can by no means be called cheap fab
RIGS. and shoppers are often surprised
to find them quite as expensive as silk,
excepting. perhaps, the very finest
qualities of silk. 1t must, however.
be said for them that these materials
are double width, and the fact that
mohair is one of the most fashionable
dress fabrics, if not quite the most
fashionable, must not be overlooked
when passing Judgment upon it.
Trim, taut and prominently smart
are some of the new spring coats that
are shaped to suit every form and
fancy. Some are belted, others nm
ished with strapped seams and a gay
lining. Some are tight-ftting in the
back, with loose box fronts, and again
are open-fronted styles with immense
Lrevers that continue into spreading
cape collars, the revers and collar COW
cred with velvety white cloth, stitched
with rows of white silk, or the facing
is of white satin, wrought with colored
beads and spangles.
A great variety of silky looking
feather-weight fancy straws are used
for spring hats and bonnets, many of
which are in mixed cOlors, to match
Iiridescent and Persian dress goods.
Although reduced somewhat in size,
the new round hats are nearly all pic
turesque in effect, although greatly
overburdened with trimming. For
dress occasions the tiny toy bonnet
continues in undisturbed reign. Guam
titles of exquisite lace, pins, BUCKLES,
bands and slides of beadwork, pearl
and gold gimp, and fascinating French
flowers and foliage are used on these
fresh creations of the milliner.-Chica-

CHILDREN KILLED.
A Man Commits a Terrible Deed
in Fit of Dependency.
A POSSE AFTER GEORGE TAYLOR.
"A Clew That May Lead to the Capture of
che Escaped Murderer-Crushed
His Skull with a Cuba
Bloody Record.

CHICAGO, April 15-While brooding
.over the idea that his family would
suffer from want, John Lehman yes
terday evening shot and killed his
three children. After committing the
terrible deed, Lehman attempted tc
lend his own life by hanging, but, fall
ing in this, he turned the revolver upon
himself and sent bullet through his
heart killing himself instantly. The
names of the dead are: John Lehman,
:33 years old; Clara Lehman, five years,
Bertha Lehman, three years, and an
infant four months old, not yet named.

the Central avenue line. Lehman had
saved 81, 500. This money is deposited
in one of the city banks The family
lived comfortably and wanted for
nothing. Notwithstanding that fact,
Lehman worried a great deal. He had
fear that some day his savings would
be swept away and his family would
become dependent on charity. Grad
ually he grew worse, and of late when
at home he talked of nothing else.
Mrs. Lehman and Henry Lehman, her
young stepson, were away from home
when the tragedy occurred.

Chicken Salad Dressing.

To make the dressing, first chill the
plate, eggs and oil. Put the yolks of
two eggs in soup plate; add one-hah
teaspoonful of salt and stir with a silver
fork until the yolks are well beaten and
mixed; add the oil, drop by drop, be-
ing careful to always stir in the same
direction, adding a drop of vinegar
whenever the mixture begins to look
oily. Add only acid enough to keep the
dressing from separating. Two eggs
will take pint of oil. Season with salt
and red pepper, and lemon juice, If
necessary. A perfect mayonaise should
not be too acid, as that destroys the.
