"A woman who was noted for her eX-
qulslte gowns when she was a society
woman and who has been upon the
stage for several years was induced by a
well known periodical to write a little
article upon the art of dressing. Her
creed could be formulated in few
words, says the Philadelphia Times and
one often hears it from people of less
authority. 1t is to put ones money into
the making of gown. The material
does not matter so much. 1t need only
be becoming in shade and need not be
expensive. OF course every woman of
good taste will avoid a shoddy looking
OF cheap material, but she can get ex-
cellent values nowadays for less than a
dollar yard Such good stuffs are now
made in Canada and parts of our own
country that it is no longer absolutely
necessary to pay the price Of "import-
ed'' woolcns when having light
weight wooden gown made All that is
necessary is to go to a reliable house,
take its advice about the materials it
sells as to quality and be guided by your
own taste in the matter of becomingness
of design and shades.
Another matter of importance is the
lining 1t really is far better to have a
silk lining for gown, especially if one
is to have that for almost every occa.
sion. Here we come to real item of
expense, for good lining silk cannot be
bought for less than rs cents q yard.
md even then it is not always safe to
rust it. 1t is better this year to buy the
silks with little stiffening in them.
They rustic less, consequently are in
better taste and wear longer. Of course
silk lining isnot an absolute necessity.
t is honestly luxury, and if one can
lot afford to be extravagant on that ,
core it is well to turn contentedlv to I

spreading around tho world so that tho

The club which formed the link

Spscial to the Optic.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May 28.-Ai
5 o'clock last evening, word reached the
city that Two small Mexican boys
aged eleven and twelvs years respect
lively. had been murdered near the
bridge, crossing the Rio Grande, south
of the city of Albuquerque.
Officers Immediately started in pur-
suit, and about one hour. later the mur.
derers were safely lodged in the county
Jail. A large number of persons on
horseback and on bicycles formed a
striking escort, as the villainous cul-
prits were brought through the city. ,
Judging from the information at
hand, it seems that the three small Mex
ican boys were playing in corral,
when two Mexican men approached,
and without uttering a word opened
fire on the innocent and helpless boys,
which resulted in the death of two,
" bile the third one escaped by hiding
under the bridge.
The son of Felipe Ovan was shot
through the breast and died almost in
stantly, and the son Of Antonio Garcia
was shotin the neck and died about an
hour later Donaciano Garcia did the
shooting, and was accompanied by An
tonic Romero. They were both under
the influence Of liquor when they COM
mitted the dastardly deed.
