Pastel colors appear in the brocades
this season as we'll as in cloths. Last
year the brocades were as hauntingly
splendid as vivid colors could make
them, but this season misty, faint,
delicate tones predominant in the
handsomest pieces. For example. Il
pale gray brocaded silk has design
of ribbons, feathers and leaves all en-
twined to form a garland which is
twisted into oval medallions at inter
walls. This garland is in satin shade
or two darker than the pale pearl
ground. In the medallions flower tu-
lips Of palest lilac, rose and blue. The
same design appears il white bro
cade, the garland of pale rose and the
tulips of yellow and mauve The
grounds Of most Of the handsomest
brocades are white or palest gray, and
the black satin design so much in
favor last season is not seen in the
new silks

THE KLEPTOMANIACS,
HOW THEY OPERATE IN SELECT
SOCIETY.
Purioin Articles of vaiue from the
Homes OF the weaithy-rccnilar Con-
sitions Noted in omcial Circles at tho
National Capital 81

one OF the leading jewellers OF the
capital was somewhat taken aback the
other day by receiving from the wife OF
a high official an order for half dozen
gold nails with jewel in the head OF
each and a dozen small gold chains.
He inquired the uses to which the nails
were to be put, when his patron said:
You see, have a number of very
valuable objects OF art. which, although
they are very expensive, are very small
and easily handled. AS the wife OF an
official OF the government am Obliged
to open my house during the season TO
the constituents OF my husband and
the Washington curiosity seeking pub
lie in general. On my reception dag.
therefore, my house is crowded with
all sorts OF people, and last winter I
suffered the loss OF several of my most
valuable treasures. | have long been
trying to devise some plan by which
can keep my objects OF art outside OF
my cabinets and yet not have them
stolen, for that is the only word / can
use In regard to the loss OF my treas
ures. | have concluded that I must
either nail down some OF the bric-a-
brac or chain II securely to the table.
and hence | am going to try this rem
edy. That Is why want these nails
and chains" This woman's predic-
ament is not an unusual one in Wash
ington official circles. The klepto-
maniacs who commit the most aggra-
waiting depredations are for the most
part well known leaders In society. Last
winter social circles in Wellington
were greatly bewildered ana shocked
by the doings of one of the best-known
women in official circles. A number
OF hostesses began to miss valuable
doilies from their dinner tables after
they had given lunches or dinners, and
finally several OF them got together
and compared notes, and suspicion fell
upon one OF the women who had been
the guest at luncheons given by those
gathered a. the conference. Finally
the wife Of a prominent diplomat de-
termined to stop the raid upon the
doilies. and at the next luncheon she
seated the suspected kleptomaniac next
to her. When the doilies were brought
on she watched her guest and discov-
cred that the latter laid her dolly on
the table and, carelessly dropping her
handkerchief over 1t. picked up both.
The hostess, in most charming man
ner, turned to her guest and said:
Pardon me, my dear Mrs. -, but
am afraid you have my most exquisite
dolly in your handkerchief. 1t is so
fine am afraid 1t will be crushed, and
therefore call your attention to your
inadvertence in taking it up with your
handkerchief" The guest was not in
the least abashed. and, with laugh.
she shook out her handkerchief. and
the dolly fell back on the table. where
upon she exclaimed: why, dear me. so
l have! How very careless OF mel"
There were significant glances all
around the table, but no more doilies
were lost during that season.

The Newest Street Gowns

The newest street gowns show
revers that are faced with the velvet
panne, as it is called, a most fascin-
atingly beautiful material, very much
like the velvet antique, but figured
with different designs. A great many
of the new skirts now designed to
wear with the coats that have these
fancy revers are severely plain, ex.
cepting in the lines of machine stitch
ing or in the bias bands of cloth.
In the double-column illustration
the dress on the lett is light gray
cloth gown, with waistcoat of white
lace fastened with rhinestone buttons.
Revers are faced with white satin and
edged with machine stitching. The
only trimming on the gown are rows
of machine stitching.
The costume in the centre is n
street gown of blue cloth trimmed
with fancy braid. Cuffs, revers and
muff are OF black broadtail fur. The
coat is fastened with hooks. On both
coat and shirt are lines of machine
stitching.
The figure on the right depicts a
silk and lace gown trimmed with belt
and rosette OF black velvet ribbon.
This gown can be made of either white
or black lace. The blouse front is of
white mousseline de sole.

the separate breakfast jacket multi
piled by thousands and varied in style

made of French flannel seem to be the
most popular.
The flannel jacket calls for some
very complicated neck dressing,
creamy lace, chiffon, mousseline and
Liberty satin holding first favor among

The most up to date of all the fan

Longest rlIrht of Cannon Shot.

The longest distance ever covered
by cannon shot is said to be fifteen
miles, but that probably was several
miles within the possible limit, ac-
cording to Captain Il. II. Zalinski.
the retired army officer, who ranks
among the highest authorities in the
world on munitions OF war. On the
point of possible range, Captain ZG-
linski says. "Under existing condi-
tions, and with the guns, powder and
proiectiles available, believe it pos
sible to fire shot to distance OF
eighteen miles. The distance will bs
greater when o powder is produced
that will exert uniform pressure on
the gun throug ghout the course 0f "a.

Eyslyn's lips parted and then the

Eyelyn's lips parted and then the
words froge upon her lips.
"Ho stood ty his engine to the last.
They cay he might have saved his own
life II he would. but he stood at his
post and died there.
"No, he didn't" put in viii Merrill.
"He stood at his post like hero, and
he is iommed into jelly, but he isn't
dead"
Then Evelyn found strength to
gasp:
"Where is hep"
In little while, without clearly
knowing how or why, she had crossed
the long station, which had been trans.
! formed into hospital, and was stand
ing by wrecked and broken Dare Har.
rington.
They said he would die; but, in
spite of that, they hacked away at him
md deprived him of one arm, and
finally left him splintered and bound
and bandaged from head to foot, and
Evelyn took up her place beside him,
and raved at everybody who proposed
taking him away.
Then for days sho heard of nothing
but his death, which might at any
moment be expected, and she lived in
state of horrible expectation.
But he could not die; life was very
strong and in high favor with him,
and he clung to it, and fairly drove
death back.
In the end, one day he woke to con-
sciousness, and found Evelyn Archer
sitting near him, reading, and looking
almost as white as tue one hand which
lay helplessly ON the coverlet before
him.
TLen by degrees he came TO know
that she never left him, and that all
the tender attentions which he re-
ceived and which he so loved, were
from her hands.
After awhile he spoke to her, and
had the supreme pleasure of seeing
her turn white and burst into tears,
and clasp her hands as though all the
happiness on earth had suddenly
fallen upon her.
81 shall get well, after all. - he said,
one day. "Then what can / do?"
"They say" she said, that the
company will do wonders for you, be-
cause you were so brave and true"
"I cannot go on the engine again.
Well, you did not like the engine, did
youP"
"No"
And Evelyn looked ashamed Of her
self.
"I would have left it, if [ had
thought it could have made any diff
ference to you, but knew you could
not fancy me-"
''Dare!"
"Evelynl"
81 suppose have q right to change
my own mind ON u subject il choose?"
"Well, have you changed your mind
toward me?"
Eyes; you know have"
And he declared that he wouldn't
mind being iammed up again, if the
result could possibly be as satisfac-
tory.
And Evelyn would not mind if her
husband worked in coal-mine, or
the blacklist place on earth, for she
learned how good and true man he
was, which is, or should be, better
knowledge than anything on earth to
every true, sensible woman!

A GentIe Reminder.

The up-to-date child has a way Of
entering into conversation that is
sometimes amusing and sometimes
annoying. On a car not long ago the
question of fare or no fare came up
between the conductor and the mother
of little girl.
"How old is she?" the conductor
asked.
Five" was the answer.
"Wby, no, mamma, don't you re

one interposed. In that case it was

costume is worn silk shirt waist of
very dark blue with polka dots of

While in Gallipolis yesterday
for an afternoons outing, we called
on Mr.. O. ID. Kerr, the genial, push-

and found him SO busy with custo-

spend with his friends.
