However. word comes from Paris that beaded and jeweled nets have been adopted there. and dealers say they will make their appearance here within the next fortnight. The most stylish are wrought with tiny gold beads or those of cut steel, though some women with pocketbooks longer than their heads have nets made to order, jeweled with precious gems.

years ago in quarrel between the heads of the rival houses on the very steps of the papal throne and in the presence of the pontiff. They drew their swords and were about to lunge at one another, when sud- denly the pope rushed between them parted them, and commanded, in the name of the church, that one should stand on one side of his throne and one on the other. And with view of putting an end to the con, stant strife between them, which dis graced his court, the pope announced that, providing they kept the peace, they should on all state occasions stand immediately on the right and left of the pontfical throne. and bear the hereditary title of Prince Assistant of the Holy Seat.'
 Don Marco Antonio, at the time of his fathers death, was master of the house. hold of Queen Marguerite and the most conspicuous member of the court of the Quirinal. As soon, however, as he became the chief of his house, and possessed ipse facto of the hereditary dignity of Prince Assistant of the Holy Seat. he requested the permission of King Humbert and Queen Marguerite to sever his connection with their court as it was evident that he could not figure at the Quirinal and at the Vatican in an official capacity at the same time.
 Don Marco Antonio is married to an English woman, the daughter of Lady Wal singham, from whom he has been separat ed since she lost her reason, after the tragic suicide of a young scion of the Roman house of Bonaparte for her sake. Her husband had requested him to cease his visits to the Colonna palace owing to his infatuation having become the talk of the town. He thereupon sent the princess jewelled butterfly, transpierced by gold pin, and then blew his brains out.
 Some twelve other members of the house of Colonna are likewise matrimonlally sep arated

Prince Fabian Coionna, whose engage ment to Miss Eleanor Moran, the Rich mond, Va, heiress, has just been an- nounced, Is a scion of the same sigliano branch of the patrician house of Colonna, to which the husband of Mrs. John w. Mackay's daughter, Eva, belongs.
 His father, Prince Charles, has long since made his peace with the new order of things in Italy and is now a general in the army of King Humbert, and makes his family, Don Mark Antonio, is exceedingly wealthy, the general and his sons are in more or less strengthened circumstances.
 The Colonnas are probably the grandest the most illustrious and certainly the most historic of all the families of the Italian aristocracy. Their dignities comprise doz- ems of Roman and Neapolitan dukedoms, French marquisates, German titles of prince and the Spanish grandezza of the first class, besides which they are allied by marriage to many of the great houses of the British and even Russian nobility. It is by reason of their Spanish grandee- ship, that the princes and princesses or this family seldom if ever use their titles, contenting themselves with the Spanish prefix of Don" to their Christian names, the ladies, of course, employing the predi- cate Of "Dona." Miss Moran's betrothed should, therefore, be addressed in conver- sation not as "Prince,". but as "Don" Pablo.
 The head of the family, Don Marco An tonic, is the principal lay dignitary of the household of the pontiff. bearing the title of "Prince Assistant to the Holy Seat," which he shares with the head of the house of Orsini The traditional feud between the Colonnas and the Orsini's. who, in mediae- val times terrorized Rome, eliminated 20

Some Notes of Interest
 To All Womankind

Sleeves are decidedly tight. Some have still a-small bouffant at the top, but even these are tending to disappear, and only the epaulettes gives little fulness to the upper part It generally consists of two or three superposed fittings or frillings, of small turret-block lappets, or wide loops of ribbon. Some gauged or puffed all the way down, others are trimmed with braid or insertion to match the bodice
 The corselet and peaked belt are now exchanged for narrow bandes of velvet or gros grains silk cut on the cross.
 The saucer-collar, put on to high band, is the most novel pattern; it is frequently

of velvet for bodices. and of fur for jack cts.
 Dinner gowns are quite as elaborate as the ball gowns and the special distinction is found in the sleeves. which are usually long to the point of partially covering the hand They are made of chiffron, not of lace, carefully shirred, but without any
 lining Any short-sleeved gown can be supplied with this extra pair of sleeves, which can transform it into a full-fedged up-to-date dinner gown very promptly. A pretty matrony gown of pearl gray satin, outlined on the seams with silver sequins, is draped on the bodice with white lisse embroidered in silver thread, and this also forms the long sleeves below short ones of satin, and they are made to take out or put in suits the occasion. Black net lined with jet sequins between the shirrngs makes pretty sleeves for the black velvet gown. The guimpe neck of shirred net or lisse is also worn to make the evening dress suitable for informal dinners
 The high-necked gowns in light colors and dressy effect are very much worn at the theater, concerts and small dinners; and for use with the inevitable black satin skirt which seems to be in every woman's possession there are pretty waists | of pale blue, green and violet velvet, em- | broidered with jet in a flower design and | trimmed with an applique of lace in the form of a yoke pointing down on either
 side of the front The neck is cut out
 round just a little below the collar so it Is neither low high-cut neck and the embroidery finishes the edge The sleeves are slightly shirred and very close to the arm with only a very small puff at the top. Waists of cream lace made over a collar and trimmed with bands of sable or chinchilla are worn at the theater with skirts of stripped taffeta silk in white and light colors. Pale blue cashmere is the material in one pretty theater gown made with a lace yoke, a blouse bodice, and a wide belt of black and white striped silk. Lavender with pale blue is one of the novel combinations of color in fashion which is very effective if the lavender has just the right blue tinge, and pale blue gowns in cloth or any kind of material are the latest fancy for dressy costumes.
 Hair-dressers say there is such a demand
 for hair nets that it is difficult to meet 1t.

CONFERENCE SEMINARY:
President Hutchinson Resigns to Ac-
cept Another pOsitiOn-The Sch DOL
is i'm a FlOurishing Condition.
Special Correspondence
Special Correspondence

BUCKHANNoN, w. Va, Jan. IL
Rev. B. W. Hutchinson, president Of
the Conference Seminary Of the Meth
odlst Episcopal church, at this place,
last night rendered his resignation
to the executive committee, in order
to accept the presidency of the Cen
esee Wesleyan Seminary, at Lima, n
Y. The resignation was accepted
and President Hutchinson will sever
his connection with the school here
about March /. No successor will be
elected, probably until the June meet
ing of the board of trustees and until
then Vice President Frank B. Trotter
will have charge, as acting president.
President Hutchinson has been at
the head of the school since, its in
ception in 1890, and has been very
successful in its management. The
school has steadily grown until it
stands as the second school in the
state, the state University alone be-
ing larger. At present the faculty
includes twelve teachers and the en-
follment last year was 343, and this
year there has been gain of fifteen
or twenty more over that of last year
In its course of study and grade of
work it surpasses any other school of
secondary instruction of West Vir-
ginia, and the outlook for the spring
term, which begins March 9, is more
encouraging than ever before.
The new position to which Presi-
dent Hutchinson was elected last
Thursday, is very desirable one, and
while the many friends of the presi-
dent will regret his departure from
the state, they will rejoice in his good
fortune in being elected to so favora-
BILE situation. Coming as it did
entirely unsought, it is a high COM
pliment to President Hutchinson.
AS regards the policy Of the school,
no changes will be made, the pres
ent faculty being retained and every
effort will be made to advance the
interests of the school.
