For the woman who early discards
wrap and appears arrayed for the
street in a habit-finished tailor dress,
the only correct headwear is a stiff
derby. These are only suitable, how
ever. for early spring; as soon as the
weather becomes warm they are too
manifestly uncomfortable. Very dap
per walking shapes in straw may be
worn safely through the early spring;
indeed. the wiSeSt women always
make their first purchase for the
spring a covert cloth tailor made gown
and a trim walking hat to match. 1t
is as well to let the fashion settle a
little and then 90 in for what really
seems most exclusive and pretty for
the garden hat of late summer
Meantime the walking hat purchased
now. after its wear this spring, is put
aside for use in the fall.
Chip so thin and so wide as to be
highly perishable is woven into hats
of egg-shell delicacy, mostly in quaint
shapes that seem to be folded about
the ne1u, Inelf curves uelu III pld''
by knots of flowers. Some turbanS
are shown that really deserve their
name, having the appearance of
scarf of silk knOtted fold after fold
about the head. There is something
rather artificial about this sort of thing
and for its intricacy there is little re-
suit. 4 tOque that is a little three
cornered affair of tiny proportions is
offered already in rough straw. These
hats set on the very top of the head
and are suitable to go with severe
tailor get-up. They imply a faultless-
ly simple and glossy couture as most
of the new small hats do.

TAILOR RIGS.

Some of the most fastidiOus tailor
girls are very tinnickv in their copy
ing of mems attire. One of these ma
tional women cOnfides to the writer
that the reason she goes in for figured
and fancy waistcoats with evening
dress is that otherwise there is no
telling a gentleman from a waiter at
an affair OF course that settles it,
and tailor girls who would not run
the frightful risk of being mistaken
for waiter will see to it that with
their full dress thew wear a white
silk bedford cord waistcoat cut doub-
lie breasted. White DiOue will do if she
prefers. For dinner wear a white cot

SUIT YOURSELF.

\ great secret of being well dress
ed is being dressed according to your
style. Time was when everyone to be
in the mode had to dress along certain
lines. whether those suited her eSpe-
cially or not, but now IL is not so. n
woman may dress as best suits her
self. general current rules being OBJ
served, of course, and if she under
stands at the start what is becoming,
the result is good, even though it
places her in different style of femi-
ninity from her neighbOr. Just now
the women that take kindly to perky
frillS and fluffy daintiness are favored,
but the romantic maid may effect the
princess gown. the empire and the
fichu and Maria AntOinette fashions.
Nothing can be more romantic in out
line than the princess gown, just think
how many novels heroines are simply
gOwned in draperies that followed
every graceful outline.
There is great trick, of course. in
following only the graceful outlines,
but the present fashions allow that.
To accomplish just this. a lovely mod
ificatiOns of princess had the front
breadth cut to a deep point at the bust
to show a yoke of contrasting mate
rial. Over the shoulders lace was
draped. and the lace narrowed along
the seam between the front and side
breadths, thus sOftening the frequent
ly fatal hip curve, while the yoke
point insured a graceful bust curve.
Fichu and short-waisted effects are
fashionable and all suit charmingly
the romantic type of girl. she who Is
at her best in long, graceful and I'M
conventional lines.
Gowns of this sort are in prepara-
tion but are not intended for immedi-
ate use. demurity being the fashiona-
BILE affectatiOn until Easter brings
change. One result of this fancy is
felt by women who do not make fad
of pretences, and that is in the album
dance of gray, that favOrite color of
demurity. Pictured here is one of the

her rounded figure. A gay artitice is

the right thing to be extremely well
behaved and gentle voiced that the
chief charm of manly make up is
to emphasize an extremely feminine
nature. Her driving coat must be of
the paletOt order fastened with big
pearl buttons. 1t has long skirts, not
full. and the pockets are on the slant
and below the waist line. The eff
feet of the cut is to make the wearer
look very broad shOuldered. 1t is odd
how many different figures" the tail
or girl seems to have.
But young women whose endorse
ment of such ideas proves them to be
of advanced taste, by no means dom
mate the styles of tailor finish, nor do
they come as near to doing it as they
did n few years ago. Tailor gowns
may be, and are, trimmed so as to be
more than jaunty-that is, so as to
become beautiful. And touch or
two of feminity is permitted, too, so
that the most sensible women may
wear them without feeling that she is
aping the other sex. Take the model
shown here: it might well be coveted
by any woman. 1t was of fine dark
blue serge, the skirt tight fitting at
the hips and decorated in front with
two vertical bands of black mOhair

All diseases come from germs. The germs

Just to the hips. SWathed in at the
waist and widening in graceful folds

any figure than such belt. The bod

viii be placed on trial for his life next
week upon a charge Of numbering his
wife and destroying her corpse by the
use Of caustic potash.
Never before in the history Of
American criminal Jurisprudence has
such theory been advanced as win be
set up by the prosecution in this case.
The nearest approach TO it. perhaps,
occurred during the trirl of Professor
Webster for the murder Of DR.. Park
man many years ago. 1t is not an
easy matter to destroy all evidence Of
a murder, and it is even more difficult
to destroy the corpus deficit Pro-
fessor Webster nearly succeeded in
doing this by incinerating small por-
tions Of the flesh Of his victim, one
after another, but he was convicted
by the discovery in the ashes of some
teeth which bad been filled with gold,
and which were identified by dem
list who had performed the operation
for DR.. Parkman.
The prosecution in the Luetgert
trial will base its case entirely upon
evidence. 1t will
trace the relations of the principals
antecedent to the disappearance of
Mrs. Luetgert, and will attempt to
show that at the time of her disap-
pearance the basement of her hus-
bands sausage factory contained ali
the factors necessary for the complete
destruction of human body. From
this point chemical and medical ex-
perts will try to prove that human
body actually was dissolved in vat
in the sausage factory.
1t will be seen at once that this
promises to be one Of the most SEN
trials in the local criminal
records.
