Extraordinary Imposture prscticed Upon
. Rioh Young Mexican Girl.
After four months impersonating a
dead fance and having thereby all but
succeeded In wedding an helress Of tho
Mexican capital. q handsome and oily.
tongued youth OF the sister republic has
taken flight and Is believed to be at
present somewhere In this country. As
is common enough In Mexico. the girl
had In infancy been betrothed to q boy
Of about her wi age-the son Of her
fathers old friend, who lived In n dis
tant province. Some months ago. tho
young woman, being then OF marriage
able age, a handsome young fellow
made his appearance at her fathers
mansion in the City OF Mexico and In
troduced himself as hor flance. As q
matter Of fact he was n native OF San
Luis Potosi, where his father conducts
q small business. He had plenty OF
money, though where ho obtaiped II is
| as yet unknown. As q recently
learned. the impostor recently came In
to possession OF certain documents be-
longing to a frontier family which had
once been OF great note. Through these
documents the pretender learned that
family and another wealthy family Of
the City OF Mexico to effect a matri-
monlal alliance. A young mar belong.
ing to the frontier family was TO marry
a young lady belonging to tho
wealthy and prominent family Of
the capital. But the young peo.
plo had never met. and the young girl
had never set eyes even on a photo
graph OF her intended husband. Sub
sequent events intorfered with these
family projects. The frontier family
fell from its high position and the
young man himself died. When the
young adventurers learned of this his
tory q plan occurred to him for replen-
ishing his pocket. This plan was nc
other than the i~mpersonation Of the
dead youth from tho frontier. liz
learned all no could about the family

FrO6kS OF Comfort for

Bright in Color, and Both Large and
Small=Revival Of the Old>Fashioned
Woolen Mitten.
PARIS LETTER.

This Is a busy season for mothers
who have to get school girls ready for
the winter. The gowns for the little
maids should be well chosen, as far as
material goes, and In design not too
elaborate, otherwise they will not last
throughout the season and will cause
complaint from mothers about the wor-
~ and expense of dressing young
girls.
A practical English woman who
sends three well groomed girls to
school every morning gives some val
liable hints to mothers about dressing
girls.
First OF all. sho makes II a rule to
avoid buying smooth-surfaced mate
rails for school gowns; a broken check,
or stripe that Is hardly d%iscernible, or
even a big Scotch plaid, is chosen in
stead Of q solid color.
Then she always buys enough mate
rial for q second pair OF sleeves, which
are often called into service before the
gown has had three or four months
rear.
As Don as her girls have arrived
from school they don pretty aprons Of
dark satine or alpaca, made attractive
with ribbon bows and fancy stitches
OF bright silk that do much to keep
their frocks free from soil.
An extremely simple school frock
was made Of chevlot in two shades OF
mixed gray blues. 1t had a skirt close
ntting over the hips and laid in four
small, overlapping pleats at the back.
Marrow, dark blue passementerie
adorned both seams Of the apron.

lowed the bottom OF the skirt.

pleat at the middle that hooked to the
left side. Three dark blue silk frogs
buttoned across the pleat. 1t opened
over q v Of dark blue MORE, bordered
By small revers of the anne. On each
side Of the pleat there were double rows
Of passementerie. extending from the
revers to the narrow MORE ceinture.
The sleeves OF the cheviot were close

Blue moire was employed for the high,

A model for a young girl Of fifteen
