BITS OF FASHION.
the Latest in Dress for
the Ladies'.

Burnt orange and turquoise blue are
hard to find in silk now, SO they say at
the stores, as the demand for these coll
ors far exceeds the supply.
A favorite trimming for shirt waists
is chemsette and revers of fine tucked
white satin.
A pretty skirt to wear with shirt
waists is made of black taffeta silk,
and trimmed with graduated rows of
black ribbon velvet.
| Chocolate colored taffeta silk,
trimmed with burnt orange and seal
brown ribbon velvet, makes an eff
fective costume for this season.
Sage green and golden brown form
pretty combination for spring gowns.
Plain covert cloths will be much worn
in tailor-made gowns.
Cerise is still fashionable color, and
for that reason the price of cerise-col-
ored silk has gone up.
| An effort is being made to revive the
popularity of brocaded silks, and it
looks as though their day would once
more come round. Some of the shops
show rich patterns in both black and
colored silks.
Apple-green silk trimmed with black
chantilly lace will be used in summer
gowns. The effect is cool and dainty.
Authorities say that crinoline is again
coming into favor. This assertion IL
made Sc frequently that those who dis
like the idea of the fashion becoming
really established feel that it is only
call of ''wolf," and do not fear the
establishment of so ugly mode.
Watermelon pink silk. with ecru and
black applique lace, will be most eff
fective for summer gowns. - N. Y.

those who had come to rely upon their

Of its commercial rights; this

The man who, always, everywhere,

French Justice Is Eccentric.

french judicial methods are the Won
der of those whose conception of rba
methods by which justice works her
will is formed on the Anglo-Sayon
plan. With us no lawyer, defending
one charged with crime thinks his
harangue to jury complete until he
has told them how zealousIy English
law protects the accused with the pre-
sumption of innocence. But the French
law reverses this and presumes the
accused guilty, leaving him to estab-
lish his innocence as best he NAV.
The Anglo-SaXon method requires the
presiding judge to be impartial, guard
ing rather the prisoner than the pub
lie; While the French law makes the
judge a prosecutor, aiding the state in
securing a conviction. The outcome of
one of the suits that grew out of the
Panama scandal serves to further IL
lustrate French methods of administer
ing justice and to increase the wonder
thereat in the Anglo-Saxon mind.
One Arton was accused of using the
money Of the company to bride sena-
tors and deputies to vote "a subsidy to
the canal company. 1t was conclusive
ly proved that he had received between
two and three million francs of the
company's money; that he had used it
to bride ministers and deputies; that
one of the latter had been convicted
and sentenced. and that the family of
one Of the former had returned the
money their deceased head had taken.
But Arton was acquitted by the Jury.
Then. on the evidence produced, sundry
bondholders moved the court for iudg
ment that Arton refund the money he
had received. This was promptly re-
fused. because, a jury having declared
that he did not bride, he could not have
had the money of the company: and
other juries having acquitted several
of the bribed, it followed that there
had been no bribery, ard, consequent
ly, no illegal appropriation of the capt.
tai of the company.
When it was shown that sew
eral million francs of the COM
pany's money had been used to
subsidize Partisan papers, the latter
admitted it and boosted of it as in
