VARIOUS STILES OF BUsTLEs

Another kind is woven of rattan
strips. This variety is as unyielding
as a theological creed and about the
size of a football. H7oven-wire arrange
ments, like links of sausage tied to-
gether, are a popular and lasting BUS
tie. Long half~skirts of ruffled hair
cloth recall the penitential skirts OF
medieval monks, though they are not
especially designed for Lenten wear,
but are recommended as the most "ex-
tending and comfortable of the hustle
family. Then there are quaint pneu-
matte devices of rubber, intended to be
pumped full of air like bicycle tires
and warranted not to blow up except
under the most extraordinary circum-
stances, and indestructible bustles Of
leather which look as il they were to
be handed down from generation to
generation along with the old lace and
family diamonds,
When asked ii tustles will grow
larger and more conspicuous as the
year grows old, the saleswomen shrug
their shoulders and nod in decided af-
frmatives. "Of course they will one
little English woman said as she rear

ish for bustles--"are bound to get
larger. Didn't Zig sleeves get bigger
and wide skirts get wider until they
reached the limit of women's pocket
books and cloth? So it is with every
mode 1t grows rlore and more ex-
aggerated Until 1t reaches it's climax,
then goes on the largain table and is
no more"
The approach Of the hustle this sea-
son has been irsiiuous and cautious,
first stealing upon womankind in the
form of a tiny pad at the back of her
skirts which the dressmaker said she
"must have" in crder to take her place
in the rank of the decently clad who
air their clothes on the most fashionable
streets.
Once contracted, the hustle habit is
hard to shake Off and many women
who a year ago would have repudiated
the hustle in any form are now it's vic
tins. Like the taste for intoxicants
and narcotics, the dressmakers say the
hustle habit is bound to grow as it is
INDUCED, and the woman who is now
content with small bunch will soon
demand a good!y shelf at the back of
her waist.

A Model Luncheon.

A sensible custom is that of a New
ark, N j., woman's club, which meets
one afternoon a month, and aims to
combine in this meeting self-improve-
ment, social intercourse and a pretty
interchange of hospitality.
To prevent this becoming irksome,
each member of the club pledges her
self in serving TIE luncheon to the
twenty guests not to exceed a cost of
SIS. A fine of 5 cents is imposed for
every rs cents over that amount. The
menu for recent meeting, which was
model in its way, consisted of:
Tomato Bisque. Baked CLANS.
Lettuce and Olive Sandwiches.
French chops with Peas. Celery.
Chicken Salad. Hominy Coquettes.
Orange Baskets.
Cake. Biscuits. Sailed Almonds.
After luncheon tle members adjourn
to the parlor for short talks of eight
minutes each upon the prescribed
reading of the last month. In this
reading current fiction is excluded, but
standard fiction az lowed.

George H. Boston on Trial for PEN
sion Fraud and Forgery.

The prosecutions in Criminal Court No.
. yesterday We're conducted by Assistant
District Attorney John E. Laskey. The
first case called was that of the United
States against Charles Washington, col
ored. who was charged with assault with
intent to kill John w. Chapman, also
colored. The jury found Washington
guilty.
After recess the trial of William Mat
thews and Benjamin Crawford. both col
ored, who are charged with highway rob-
berry, was commenced. AT the hour of
adjournment the testimony had not been
concluded.
In the Criminal Court No /, Chief JUS
! tice Bingham presiding, George II. Bos-
ton. who is charged with violating the
| United States pension laws and forgery,
was put on trial for the second time dur
! ing the present term of the court. The
first trial resulted In the failure of the
| jury to agree as to the guilt or innocence
of the accused.
When the case was called the counsel
for Boston asked for a short postpone
ment in order that the deposition of an
important witness might be taken before
the trial commenced. 1t developed that
the witness whose testimony was wanted
Is James H. Smith, the colored lawyer,
who was some time ago convicted before
Justice Bradley, of embezzlement and
sentenced to imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary at Trenton, n. j. To avoid post
| ponement of the trial Assistant District
| Attorney Joseph Shillington suggested
that Smith be brought into court by ha-
| beas corpus. This plan was favored by
the court and an adjournment was taken
| in order that Mr.. Shillington might COM
municate with the warden of the Trenton
| penitentiary.
The reply was satisfactory and Chief
| Clerk Harvey Given and Assistant United
States Marshal w. B. Robinson left yes
terday for Trenton, n. J. They will re-
| turn with Smith this morning.
The balance of the day was taken up
| with selecting the jury and the presenta-
tion of the governments case. The trial
will be resumed this morning and will in
| all probability occupy the attention of the
! court for the remainder of the week.

In the absence of any new tangible in

to this that there were occasional reac-
