IN Lippincott's Mary e. Stickney's
novel, The Old Silver Trail has a dou-
ble-barreled proposal. The first does not
count, because the silver mine blows up
and kills the girls father in the midst of

whom her father hated, because he has

Tulle sh AIDES are very fashionable and
many consider them to be the most beau
tiful devices to soften lamplight. Imagine
ten or fifteen double ruffies of pale-rose
tulle superimposed, the surface unbroken
to the top, for no ribbons or flowers appear
on these shades, which vary in price from
SIS to $50, according to SIZE. Something
quite new are shades of chameleon or rain
bow gauze. These silk gauzes have a white
ground and are splashed with pink, vel
low, green, blue and other colors. When
drawn together into the double puffs that
compose the shades the effect is extremely
pretty and the light passes through the
opalescent tints with soft radiance that
is most agreeable. When of large size
shades of this kind cost $25.

Silver toilet articles are becoming too
commonplace, so ivory and shell are now
more stylish. They are rather more ex-
pensive; one set OF the most perfect ivory
shows on the back of the brush and mir

toise-shell set shows similar ornamental
ton in dull gold. The tortoise shell is so
very appropriate for men. For children

TWO REGIMENTS OF POLICE.
Took $500 Men or the Uniformed Force to
Keep ThinEs Moving Smoothly.

The chief difficulty in getting the parade over
on time was to provide for It's dispersal. From
Thirty-fourth street to Fortieth street Inspector
McCullaRh policed the whole district from
Sixth avenue TO Park avenue. and over to Lex
inGton avenue at Thirty fifth street. No trucks
were allowed to stand above Thirty fourth
street along the line OF the parade, and every
street In the district was kept clear, so that
In case OF a block in Fortleth street the
side streets from Thirty.hfth street up to
Thirty-ninth street could be used. As fast as
the mounted squads which had been sent to sid
each Inspector could be- relieved, either in
whole or in part, these men were sent 10 report
to Inspector McCullagh, and by him were a.
signed to the task OF riding back and forth
along the dismiss!ng line OF march. which
curved back from Fortieth street on either side
OF the main line, and these mounted men kent
the ~paraderS moving out OF the way Of their on
coming companions. So all day long tho stream
OF p~araders MAS kept going past the reviewing
stand without u break.
The next most important post in command
was the ono down Town. where the first and sec
ond divisions were to form and to start from.
This included the line along Broadway from
Canal street TO the Battery. Here Deputy Chief
Cortrlght took charge. In tho side streets for
blocks away from Broadway room had to DO
