MENDiNG A KID GLOVE.
How 1t May lie Done to Look
Well.

Well.
Nending may be SO perfectly done
that the rent article is embellished
rather than disfgured by the stitches
which repair. Especially is this true
of kid gloves, although there are very
few who know how to mend a glove
successfully and neatly.
\ simple lengthwise break in seam
may be carefully overcast on the wrong
side. a very fine needle being used.
Such needle prevents further tearing
Of the kid and enables the necdlewoman
to take closer, shorter stitches than
could otherwise be done. For such fine
everlasting on the wrong side cotton
thread in Il color TO match the glove eN-
actly and in 4 number to suit the needle
perfectly will be best chosen. Silk
thread has Il greater tendency to cut
the kid than has the cotton.
An actual hole in the glove requires
different treatment. 1t cannot be
should never be-drawn together.
There are two effective ways Of repair
ing such a place. The most admira bic
method is that of the buttonhole stitch.
For this a fine needle is necessary. fine
silk thread the same shade as the kid
and a spirit of leisure and painstaking
care. The place is to be nicely button
holed all around with tiny stitches. just
as buttonhole would be. excepting
| that the stitches are taken 4 tIi1e less
| closely. perhaps; then. just as if no but
tonhole stitching had been done. It is
with the same infinite pains button
holed again the second row Of stitches
being taken one between each stitch in
the edge of the first row. Thus two
rows are formed. the second circle be-
ing. of course. smaller than the first;
Il third row is then done by catching be-
tween the stitches in the edge Of The
second row. This process is repeated
until the ever-narrowing circle ends IN
the center of the rent. When we'll exc
cuted the result is so beautiful that one
would almost wish for break in a
glove in order to ornament it with such
needlework. Anyone can do such bit
of me nding, but 4 fine needle and thread
must again be insisted upon. The shade
of the thread must be just the same as
that of the kid. Patience only is neces-
sary for the rest. and the task is soon
accompli shed.-Woman's Home Com

FR,LLs OF FASHION.
New Notions In Ladies' COStuMes TO-
the season.

the ScasOn.
Hats-well. there are no words in
fashions simple vocabulary which can
do them justice as regards any detailed
description Of their almost grotcsque
features. Both large and medium
sized hats with feathers galore were
worn in the evening. and the broad ef-
feet prevailed, being especially notice.
able in the smaller shapes. where bows
Of velvet, curving leaves Of jet and steel,
and ostrich tips completed the regu]a-
ton width. An occasional poke shape,
almost disguised with its wealth of
feathers, graced this assembly Of head
gear, and flower bonncts with heavy
twist of bright velvet for a foundation
made brilliant spots Of color here and
there. Birds and spreading wings were
the chief feature of hats worn in the
morning, and there seems to be no limit
to the size Of the bird which can be
perched on one of these new millinery
CONNECTIONS.
Another fancy which seems to have
taken possession of the women rather
early in the season is the large muff
Of chinchilla, sable and seal or velvet,
flowers and lace. which she carries
without any reference to the temporal
ture.
Pique gloves, with one or two buttons
| and heavily stitched, are the fashion for
| street wear.
Pelerines of fur are the stylish thing
to wear with the tailor gown. The long
stole ends are trimmed with innumer-
able tails, and the effect is charming.
Bows of black or colored satin ribbon
! decorate some Of the new fur boas, set
in at intervals the entire length.
Petticoats Of silk norccn with taffeta
silk ruffics are recommended for wear
ing qualities. which the taffeta skirt
does not possess. The material comes
! in variety of pretty co]ors.
One Of the novelties Of the season is
the shaped tiounce Of black net en-
hroidered with jet, silver, steel, or iri-
! descent beads. 1t is all ready for use,
! and ireshens up Il black satin skirt Won
! derfully.
Among the countless fancies in neck
wear are the empire ties Of Brussels net
in cream Or white, with tucks and lace
edged plating across the ends. They
! fold twice around the neck and tie In q
soft bow or four-in-hand knot. Shorter
ties OF this sort, folding once around the
neck, arc worn with linen collars and
silk shirt waists, and are vastly more
becoming than the plain little bands Of
| silk or satin.
| \ new sable cape is made with the
skins placed horizontally, SO that the
| dark stri pes run around.
Bows of braid, sewn only on one edge
to represent tucks, trim some Of the
| cloth s}lir,s.---N. Y. Sun.

But 1 got no further. The man was no.
where to be seen.
I fastened fro N tn !: house and ran
around, searching for him. but no trace
could discover. He had vanished COM
pletely. His sudden disappearance
puzzled me.
1soon gave up the search, put thc pis-
toll in my pocket, and started briskly up
the road toward the Morley place.
If the station agent was such des-
perate fellow as to draw and shoot at a
| word, what could Florence have to do
with him?
It was strange that Sonntag should
know the fellows right name and not
know the danger attendant on calling
him by it. My lawyer had seemed sur
| prised when J. stated that the fellow
had told me his name was Hunter. In
all probability Sonntag had addressed
him by the name of Skinner many
times, and the fellow had not resented
it, or the lawyer would have mentioned
the fact. Why, then, should he resent
in SO fierce and deadly manner my us2
of his right name?
Perhaps Florence could tell nc some
thing about Mr.. Hunter, or Skinner. At
least it was right I should warn her
against him.
With these thoughts fitting across
my mind, soon arrived at the Morley
home, and, entering the gate, went up
the long giaveled walk. Before an OPP
portunity was allowed me to ascend
the steps leading to the piazza, my n amc
