H. NJ. NJ. is deeply in love with a
very charming young woman. They
have been engaged for about half a
year. H. NJ. NJ is fond of quiet life
and thinks that his lady-fair should
like the things that he likes. But she
has a slightly changeable disposition,
as she has been engaged once before
and broke that engagement. Her
friends, however, approved OF the
course she took. She promised her
present intended that she would never
break the pledges she made to him.
But alas for the Inconsistency of wom-
an! she writes him that she has learned

matter how gorgeous the display in
front. The Norfolk bodice is a change
and an Improvement, since it is made
bit attractive at the back as well as
the front. Why cannot there be sharp
intersections OF lace or of whatever
trimming there is used on the gown?
But whether the bodice be plain or
trimmed. see to it that you acquire that
graceful pOise which insures the sup
pie curve at the waist. A great deal
of it is matter of carriage. Most
women walk in languid, wabbiy style,
when the correct position is TO keep
the body firm at the waist and hips,
while the steps should be as free as
possible.
A fetching Virot frock of glossy black
brilliantine is made with flaring, un-
trimmed skirt and dainty bodice as
lavishly decorated at the back as in
front. The body of the bodice fits per-
fectly smooth and is cut exceedingly

There is a wide stock covered with
sofe folds of yellow crepe de chene,

Recently as a young couple stepped
aboard the train to start for their hon
eymoon a long box of flowers was
handed them. 1t bore the name of
well-known florist on the cover and was
daintily tied up with white satin rib
bons. They looked askance at the box.
The white bows made it too evidently
a wedding favor; and had they not
feared to hurt the feelings OF some tact

For the Little Ones.

AS the butterfly emerges froN the
chrysalis so does the little man OF the
house when he steps out Of his kits
and short socks into the dignifed cos
tune of a sailor lad The tapping
width of the trousers about the foot
has often discouraged the little fellow,
but his desire to be big counteracts
any complaint he is inclined to make
on this subject.
Bluefannel and serge suits in this
fashion. with trimmings Of white
braid and the white front, are familiar,
and perhaps more serviceable than any
other style. AS spring approaches
there is a great change in jackets for
little men, and to the ever-ready serge
pants blouse or jacket of pique is
added. Pink. white and blue are
especially swell, and when the lads ap-
pear in an entire cotume of white they
are always greeted with looks, if not
words, of admiration.
Little girls, however, have always

IS STILL A MYSTERY.

Annie Laraborn Retracts the Confession in
 Which She Charged Davenport with Her
 Father's Murder.
 LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, April l0.-The murder of J. T. Lamb born, of Fall Leaf, is still mystery, notwithstanding that Annie L. Lamborn, the daughter, has signed note accusing Thomas Da. venport, her sweetheart with the crime Recent developments are of a most sensational character and are en. titled to the same credence as the notes furnished the press by Detective Shaf. fer, who is working for big reward. Not only has no confession, such as is claimed to be in existence, ever been made, but the developments are of a nature to indicate that this country boy and girl, Charlie and Annie Lam- born, are the victims of plot as dark and vile as any that can be found in the novels of Dumas. That there was a motive for the murder of old man Lamborn by young Davenport does not admit of a doubt, but that he really did the deed is still question. Miss Lambo now says her so-called con- fession was wrung from her by threats and intimidation, and she denies that Davenport had anything to do with the horrible murder.
