Collar and Hat.
A salient feature of this exquisite cloak
is the high Medici collar of silver-gray
ostrich plumes. The hat which accompa-
MES this cloak is wide-brimmed and formed
of silyer-gray weave of felt and chenille.

Although the model of this cloak is ON
posed of the richest and costlest textiles.
1t can be easily and becoming1y made up
with far cheaper materials. Instead of the
velvet, gray Cloth may be substituted, and
the coilarette and tabs. as well as the cuffs
and bodice, may be made very effectively of
a coarse white or gray lace (Suipure, for
ipstance), over a tight lining of gray satin
and a white or gray feather collarette, or

Will adapt it to less severe winters than
those which we experience in our higher
latitude. 1t will also do duty as a dainty
evening or opera cloak, IL made OF white or
ecru cloth with garnitures of white or of
lace over satin of the same color.
With the exception of the common, ''ev-
ery-day' skirt, or the simple house gown,
the plain, untrimmed skirt is decidedly
pssSe. Fashion wills that cloth skirts must
be decorated with biased braiding passe-
nenterie or embroidery, while skirts made
of more delicate materials, as cashmere
and silks, etc. for evening or indoor wear
are generally adorned with rows of tiny
hcuEces, often attached to simulate tunic
or set in undulating lines along the hem.
Tucl<s Are Stylish.
Tucks are very stylish. a dress of golden
brown Henrietta cloth has the lower part
of the skirt quite plain. while the hips are
encircled by rows of tucks two inches in
width one barely overlapping the other and
reaching to the waistline, where a gold belt
with large, chased buckle forms the diyid-
ing line between the skirt and waist. The
latter consists entirely of tucks over a tight
lining.
a Zouave jacket with golden-brown vel
vet siashed at the back and sides, and
adorned with gold galloons, and a small
toque of brown felt, trimmed with brown
velvet, adapt this gown admirably for the
promenade in early fall.
A proper foundation is reeded to set off
the accommodating mass of garnitures on the
skirt, and costumers have decided to re-
adopt the '.tcurnure.' eve will use the

ShOrt-Sishted Royalty.
From the Boston Herald.


1t will console many near-sigl.tcd, as;;g-
matized persons to hear that more than
half the reigning monarchs in Europe are
in a spectacle wearing condition, and that
1t is quite likely another hundred years
will find spectacles as universally worn as
shoes. Age has nothing whatsoever to ID
with shis defective vision in the exalted
ranks. which are not supposed TO use up
the optic nerves in laborious work. 1t is
part of the general decadeace and the
progress of science that has combined to
put the human eye under glass, as 1t
were. Queen Victoria is, at seVenty-cight,
obliged to use spcctacles; SO. too, is the
King of Denmark, who is in his seventy
ninth year. The car, a very young mla.
also wears spectacles, save on occasions of
state, and the queen regents of Spain and
Holland are both so myopic as TO require
the constant aid of their lorgnettes. Near
ly every member of the House Of Hap3burg
has something the matter with that iorrid
optic nerve. The Emperor Francis loseIdh

bad. bad royalty, is seldom seen without
his eyeglasses astride of his long nose. 1t
is said that the Prince of Males also reads
his private correspondence by the aid of
glasses, though his encourage keep the fact
discreet1y to themselves. His youngest
daughter, Princess Charles of Denim lrk is
very short-sighted, and, like the ladies'
mentioned, invariably uses a lorgaette,
which gives her very saUcy look But

PART OF A SKELETON.
Gruesome Developments in the Leutgert
Case,

Chicago, September 1.-THE prospect
of viewing the gruesome exhibition of
flesh, bones, slime and canvas gunny
sacks, reeking with what the prosecution
asserts is the dissolved body of the wife
of A. L. Luetgert. drew an unusually
large crowd this morning to the criminal
court building.
Prof. George Vincent Bailey, whose di.
rect examination was begun yesterday af-
ternoon, was placed on the stand as the
first witness today. Prof Bailey occu-
pies the position of PSYCHOLOGIST for the
Field Columbian museum and is an ex-
pert witness for the state on bones.
The witness identified small bone as
a portion of the hand of woman. He
then took portion Of mounted skele-
ton and indicated thereon the exact por-
ton of the bone in the hands. The par
ticle was then passed among the jury for
inspection. Later the witness said that
the bone was from small skeleton, prob
ably that of woman. Other particles of
bone were identified as different portions
of the skeleton of a human being.
The exhibits were submitted and the
second joint Of the fourth toe of the right
foot, q piece of the upper end of tho bone
of the forearm and one of the assanoid
bones of the hand were identified. In
each case the witness asserted that the
bones were from the skeleton Of a very
small human being. The cross-examira-
ton of the witness will be finished Mon
day.
Robert A. Halves, professor Of osteology
DIN the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons and the Chicago Medical college,
stated very positively his ability to dis
tinguish between the bones of q human
being and those Of an animal. He iden-
titled the several pieces OF bone previous
ly identified by Prof. Bailey as being
portions of the skeleton of small human
being. The cross-examinat was post
poned until Monday.
Then came the event which has been ex-
pected since the beginning of the trial,
the hearing of Inspector Setback.
Inspector Setback identified the bones
that had been shown as those that were
taken from the vat in his presence, by
officers who were under his direction. 1t
Is now likely that tho state will rest it's
case on Monday if the defense does not
prolong the cross examination of the
