press their views on the subject. and the
exquisite needlework Kept one woman
busy for nearly month. Indeed this
year expert needlewomen will certainly
be at a premium, as never since the in
vention of the sewing machine las there
been such a demand for fine hand work,
as innumerable are the garments and
dresses that must be made without the
aid of our machines, and the French bead
ings that must be let in, with the inser-
tions, give an incredible amount of work.
There is a decided tendency to return to
the shapeiess sleeves which years ago
were in fashion-they have only seam
inside the arm. Such sleeves usually
have insertion let in perpendicularly or
diagonally. The paRoda sleeve is worn
with a frill beyond.
The cerise costume is completely veiled
with an ex uisite white china crepe,
which has square yoke. the threads of

lines upon lines OF hemstitching permit

bright-hued silk that lends rosy hue to
the softly falling folds of crepe. The
sleeves are wrinkled, a la mousquetaire,
and are finished, as is the yoke, with
soft fail of lace. Otherwise the gown is
unadorned; but the foundation slip has
three ruffies edged with cream white lace.
Encircling the slender waist is O band of
cerise velvet, which terminates in the
back in short and frisk bow. A delicious
gown, is it not? The cut is strictly

Once upon a time poet wrote about
maiden who "wore a wreath OF roses in
her hair" but l wonder what he would
have written could he have seen the fair
helIes and matrons this season. Indeed, l
fancy ne would have been distracted and
quite unable to have produced even a
rhyme, as simple wreath of roses would
be scornfully derided by most OF them.
But in spite of many fearful and wonder
full com binations how perfectly lovely are
many of the chapeaux; how well they
suit the bright winsome faces that smile,
dimple and blush beneath their hues.
And the gownsl Truly never have they
been quite so chic, charming and capri
cious in fabrics and designs.
1t is fact no longer disputed that our
women impart certain individual and
delightful air to their sim plest garm ents,
and an intangible something that the
French women lack, for the principal
dressmakers and milliners in this country
find that our leaders of fashion demand a
certain toning down of the colors and
modification of styles that does credit to
their artistic development and their sense
of the beautiful.
How gayly Easter week has passed. The
luncheons, card parties, dinners and the
Oakland masked ball have been each and

Tea Gowns

Are now such elaborate, com plicated
creations that no longer are they regarded
by even the most fastidious of men with
dlsapproval, for no more are they classi-
fed with the untidy "Mother Hubbards"
or the nondescript morning wrappers,
so now and then l feel called upon to re-
late the charms of some of these confec-

other artists consider them worthy OF
their serious thought and most artistic
exertions.

Lace.

The fact that lace is an important item
is evident to every one who bestows
even the smallest amount of attention on

a dress complete without small piece

wear with the severesu of tailor gowns.

DR.. EVANS OHTVALRT.
How He Assisted Ex-Empress Eugene to
Escape From Paris.

Naturally the most interesting part of
the career of DR.. Evans was the share
which he took in assisting the French ex-
Empress Eugene 10 escape from Paris.
According to the story told by Or. Evans
while in Philadelphia in September last,
the empress, accompanied by Mime. lie
Breton, Prince lIetUernich and Signor
Nigra, the Italian minister, attempted to
escape by running down q private stair
case leading to the palace gardens, but
the mob was before her. Thereupon they
turned back, traYersed the gallery of the
Louvre to the door leading to the Palace
ct. Germain AuXerOis, opposite the church
OF that name from which building a mar
row passage led to the street There they
could hear the shouts of the mob, and,
later they plunged into the crowd The
empress was soon afterwaTd recognized by
street urChin, but the lads shout was not
noticed, and the empress and Mime. LIE
Breton were thrust by their companions
into a cab. They soon discovered that
they had only 3 francs between them,
probably not enough to pay the driver,
and so, in order to avoid a scene and the
possible capture Of the empress, they
aighted and walked on. Suddenly the
empress realized that they were near the
house Of DR.. Evans, and they hurried to
him for assistance. This was immediately
forthcoming. Mrs. Evans was out of the
city and so the empress obtained her
room, and clothing from her wardrobe
was selected as Disguise First the doe
tor tried 10 get q pass TO leave Paris but
failed. Every exit was guarded by troops.
Happily he found that one of his friends,
also patient, was 10 command of the
troops at the bridge of NeuiIy and by
some means he succeeded in informing
the latter that he would like to pass over
the bridge that night with two Of his ie-
male patients The empress was to play
the part OF 8 feeble woman who was being
taken away to a sanitarium, while Nine.
LIE Breton was TO personate her nurse.
When all the plans were completed, Dr.
Evans, at dusk, placed the empress and
Nine. lie Breton in his carriage and drove
to the bridge There it was stopped by the
men on duty, but the nerve of the doctor
stood him in good stead, and he succeeded
in passing through the troops. Eventually
they made their way to DervilIe after two
days of anxious travelling during which
the fugitives were several times stopped
and questioned. The doctor was ready for
every emergency, and the empress passed
on without being recognized. At Deryille
DIR. Evans went to Sir John Burgoyne,
owner of the yacht Ga2elle, and after with
difficulty persuading him that he had the
empress in his charge Eugene was en-
barked on board the yacht and crossed the
channel in gale Finally. on Thursday,
Sept. 5, the empress met her son, the i'll
fated Prince Louis, at Brighton, England.
DR.. Evans rented for them the house at
Chiselhurst, where the empress still lives,
whore Napoleon III died and where the
body of the prince imperial is resting. -

POLYGAMY is NOT PROHIBITED.
The Discovery of Prominent Lawyers in
Alabama and Illinois.

Some queer stories have come from
Chicago and Montgomery during the
past few days. They are to the effect
that prominent lawyers in the two cit
les have discovered that the laws of IL
linOis and Alabama do not prohibit p0-
iygamy, but that in each state plural
marriages are perfectly legal just so
the plural husband or wife does not
marry his several wives or her several
husbands at different times. The stat
utes provide that whoever, having a
former husband or wife living and sun-
divorced, marTies another person, or
continues living with such second hus-
band or wife in the state, shall be
guilty Of bigamy, If one man and
half a dozen, more or less, women go
before person authorized to perform
the marriage. ceremony and answer the
questions simultaneous, there being no
former marriage" the contract is Ie-
gal and binding, according to these
very bright lights of the law. Mean
time it probably would not be safe for
anybody to attempt to act upon the
opinions Of these smart lawyers.

THE ACME,
Dering Building.

BANK deposits continue to increase
in Morgantown. The deposits of
the Farmers q Merchants bank, a
new institution, has reached about
the hundred thousand mark. And
that without interfering with either
of the other banks. There are still
tens of thousands of dollars in this
county boarded up that ought to be
in the keeping of our banks that it
might get into the active channels
of business. Many people who were
never in the habit of using the banks
have little idea of their value to a
business community, and some pains
should be taken to explain matters
to them. AS an instance of what is
meant the following recently told
one of our reporters will serve as an
illustration; A gentleman who need
ed $4,000 went to an aged farmer in
the west end of the county to borrow
it. A satisfactory bargain was
made and the old gentleman drewan
old wooden box about foot square
from under the bed and fshed
out the money from what seemed to
be little heap of rubbish and the
$4,000 was but a small part of what
the box contained. OF course the
old gentleman did not think that il
he had deposited his money in one
of our banks it would not only have
earned little for him but would
have been benefit to the whole
business community, and besides
that would have been perfectly safe
AS it was foot pad might have
happened along at any time and Ia
ken every dollar of it. 1t is never
safe to keep large sums Of money

any better institution of learning
than many others, but because it is
as good as the best. 1t is the State
institution in which every yovng
man in the State should take an in
terest. Build it up. 1t is something
in which every taxpayer and citizen
of the State has a vested interest.
Patriotism is a holy virtue. West

abundantly able to educate her
youth. She owes not dollar of in
detedness. Let her institutions be
