WOMAN'S WEAR.

between the effects produced by the
corset-maker and the shillful manipu-
lations of the dressmakers, wonderful
results are obtained.

the hem. The bodice shows the same
effect in handsome lace, while the front

blue velvet with white chiffon rim is
worn with this toilet Another gown
| is in combination Of blue silk and
French brocaded gauze, heavily en-
broidered in the tiniest of rhinestones
and steel paillettes. The skirt is long
and very narrow, the train being
noticeably scant. The bottom shows
numerous narrow but full ruchings of
blue chiffon over which are laid folds
of the brocaded and embroidered gauze.
Black is, conspicuously, the swagger
thing-and surely no colored gown can
fear the distinction derived from
we'll placed costume Of black. Entire
spangled gowns are shown, but they
are beginning to pail little upon the
popular taste owing TO the fact that the
continuous glitter becomes monoto-
nous after a while and one signs for
something more subdued. The liberty
silks continue popular for waists and
fancy bodices, while summer silks are
utilized for extra waists for wear with
dark skirts
\ prettier fabric than the crepe
meteor, or satin crepe, it would be
difficult to find; it comes in exquisite
tintings-is soft and clinging, and in
the subdued satiny luster makes it |
most becoming and effective. A black |
gown of this kind has full knife |
plating of black silk set on the under |
lining: over this is a fine plating of |
crepe finished about the edge with a |
full but narrow ruching. The drapery
falls to within few inches of the hem
and is finished by deep silk and che
mile fringe. The bodice is low-cut |
and bordered about the shoulders by
jetted lace founce over chiffon: there
are no sleeves, the jetted lace being
caught into a close knot as it crosses
the arm. The rest of the bodice is soft

His lordship sent for Mr.. Ford, ant
Mr.. Ford received instructions to write
to Paul Waldron to inform him Of
Lord Carlswoods offer and of his
wife's acceptance Of it. He wrote
picturing to himself the handsome
haggard face as he had seen it last.
May Heaven pardon those who de-
liberately break a human heart!" be
said, as he finished the letter.
He had written very plainly, telling
Paul what Lord Carlswood had decided
to do, and that, although willing to
adopt Ismay and her son, he steadfast-
~ refused in any way to recognize his
grandchilds husband
Your wife has had plenty of time to
decide" he wrote, "and she declines to
leave Bralyn."

Fords letter" he said.
She wrote
Il cannot expect you ever to forgive
me, Paul, or to think as I think. I
know how much you have loved me
and have loved and do love you; still,
for my own sake and Leo's I think
ought to accept Lord CarlswOod's offer.
| wish that it had been different;
wish that you could share all our ad-
vantages. You may think that l ought

not be happy with you again. You
must not think me unkind. I always
felt that I was not in my right place.
For all the love and care you have
lavished upon nae I thank you now in
bidding you farewell"
So coldly, so heartlessly written, yet
blurred and blOtted with burning tears,
without one word she placed the let
ter in Lord Carlswood's hand; but no
one saw Ismay Waldron again that
day.

Whatever they fancy most keenly at
the time. 1t is well that they are most
~ temperate men, since everybody
knows That they can draw any liquor
they ike from the water breakers by
turning their cap around, and they
never write letters home because the
birds that hover around the ship are

strikes an unbiased observer-the Finn
is, almost without exception, one of
the humblest, quietest of seafarers,
whose sole aim is to do what he is toll
as well as he can, to give as little
trouble as possible and where any post
of responsibility is given him to show
his appreciation of it by doing two
mems work, he fills up his leisure by
devising schemes whereby he can do
more.
OF the minor superstitions there is lit
tie to be said. Few, indeed are the old
sailors now afloat who would cuff a
youngsters ears for whistling, fearing
that his merry note would raise a
storm. Whistling for wind, however,
still persists, as much a habit as the
kissing of groom while rubbing down
"a horse, but a very skeptical laugh
would meet any one who inquired
whether the whistler believed that his
sifflement would make any difference to
the force or direction Of the wind.
Fewer still are those who would now
raise any objection to the presence of
a clergyman on board. But the belief
that death, whether of man or an
animal. must be followed by a gale of
wind is perhaps more firmly held than
any other, unless it be the notion that
sharks follow any ship wherein is an
ailing man or woman, with horrible an
ticipation.

Doyle and Downey Exchanged
Words and Cuspidors.

DOYLE and Downey We're friends be-
fore they got to drinking together yes

SO friendly. Both We're pretty well
loaded when they marched into the
California brewery yesterday after
noon about o'clock and dressed up
to the bar. They were engaged in
heated conversation and all of sud
den Doyle was seen to plant his right
in Downey's face with such force that
the latter was sent Ssprawling. He got
up and made for Doyle. He put Lis
head down and bTh.ed Doyle in the
breast and at the same time catching
him around the body, threw him. Both
went down together with Doyle on the
bottom. Doyle's head struck on the
footrail of the bar and Downey. fol-
lowing his advantage, seized an iron
cuspidor and dealt his PROSTATE antag-
onist terrific blow on the head.
Doyle was rendered unconscious and
lay still Ion the floor when bystanders
dragged Downey off. An officer was
called and Downey was taken to the
county Jail. Doyle lay unconscious en-
the floor for a. long time, when, seeing
he showed no signs of coming to, and
fearing he had been seriously hurt, he
where he was. found to be suffering
from conclusion of the brain. He had
also received three pretty bad wounds.
He lay unconscious for over two hours.
After his wounds had been dressed he
was removed to st. Pauls hospital. DR..
Hall stated last evening that Doyle's
condition is not dangerous, but that he
will be unfit for duty" for a long
time.

Been Exposed.

The city hall had a smallpox scare
yesterday. Another case of the dis
ease Of the varioloid type was discov-
ered IN lodging house in South Main
street, and as the Jail had recently
held number of prisoners who lived at
the lodging house, the city officials
spent a rather uncomfortable day till
the jail had been thoroughly fumi-
gated.
Mcleod was fried of William VOL
cott, the first victim of the disease.
Wnen Wolcott was taken sick Mcleod
went TO take care of him where he was
living at the Miller house, in South
MAIN street 1t was not supposed that
Wolcott had smallpox until he had
oeen SICK in bed for some days, and
he was all broken out when the truth
was at last realized. Mcleod profess
ca to be immune and refused to be vac
clnated, but when he was told yester-
day that he had the disease he con-
fessed that he had never had smallpox
ana mad only been vaccinated. He was
quarantined for few DAYS while the
Miller house was under quarantine and
was then released and has since been
going about the city. 1t is supposed
that 1t was Mcleod who exposed
James Lynn, the smallpox patient at
present at the pest house.
At an early hour yesterday morning
Mcleod weAt into Sullivan & Kehoe's
saloon at the corner Of Main and Ca
lena streets. He was a very sick man
and the bartender sent word to the
police and asked to have the city or
county physician sent for. The officers
tried to get Dr. Sheeran, but were un-
able to do SO. The services Of a physi-
clan were finally procured and as soon
as he saw the case he pronounced it
one of varioloid The usual quaran-
tine measures were adopted and yes
terday afternoon Mcleod was sent to
the pest house. The case is said to be
a very mild one.
Mcleod had been staying at the
lodging house over MarloWe's livery
stable at the corner Of Main and Ga
lena streets, which is run by Maggie
Simons Several persons living at the
house had been in the city jail in the
past few days, and when the fact be-
came known to the city officials con-
siderable alarm was felt lest the off
GERS had been exposed. AS a precau-
tionary measure the Jail and upstairs
offices at the hall were fumigated yes
