Tinsel Fabrics for Summer.

This is a glittering season. Summer
dress goods continue to be woven with
tinsel threads and very pretty are the
effects thus obtained. In the dark
diaphanous materials the cleaning
suggestive tinsel is most effective. The
newest gauze used, either as a trim
ming or for entire evening gowns,
comes traced in swirling design in gold
and silver threads, and the latest
mousseline de sole is embroidered with
glittering threads. To the English is
due the praise for the luminous pow
der which when applied to fabrics
gives them the brilliant, scintillating
coloring of the opal by day and rem
ders them phosphorescent by night.

GENERAL CARPENTER RETIREs
And Will BE Followed by Number
Of Other Generals.


Washington, Dec. 27-General Gil
bert S. Carpenter recently confirmed
brigadier general of the regular army
has been placed on the retired list on
his own application after thirty years
active service. His last service was
in command of the 18th infantry
in the Philippines. He has been de-
tached from further service in the
field and ordered home. Retirement
leaves two vacancies in the lists Of
brigadier generals and results in the
promotions in every grade line, in
Guiding the promotion Of Lieutenant
Col. J. M. ]. Sanno, fourth infantry, to
Re colonel of the 18th infantry. Two
vacancies in the list of brigadier gen.
erals will be filled on the reassemb-
ling Of Congress by the promotion and
retirement of several officers who dis
tinguished themselves in action in the
recent war. 1t is popularity suppos-
ed that Generals Macarthur, Wilson,
Lee. Wheeler, Bates, Young, Ludlow
and Wheaton, all of whom hold volun-
teer commands, are to be made bril-
gadier generals of the regular army
and all but two of the number will be
Immediately retired. Macarthur
will undoubtedly be retained in. active
service but there is less certainty as
to the identity of the other general
officers to be retained. The death of
General Lawton left a vacancy in the
list of major generals of the volun-
teers which will be filed by promotion
either Of General Bates, Young or
Wheaton all Of whom are on duty in
the Philippines. This appointment
will be made early next week.

scenery carried by the company is ex

The former is a we'll constructed

who was responsible for the lavish
distribution of Christmas presents to
the children of the west side in front
Of the Romero Mercantile Co.'s es-

was not the case, however. The dis
tribution of presents at the Romero
corner on Christmas was but the OBJ
servance of custom that Don Mar

ing for years. And this year there
was no departure from the usual en-
deavor to make as many little hearts
as possible fairly leap with joy-well
by an actual counting of noses Mr..
and Mrs. Romero on Monday after
noon gave gifts to $40 girls and 450
boys, each little JOY or hope (some
big ones, too). receiving in hand as
her or his turn was reached in the
long line of anxious and expectant
walters, one pound of candy, a ten OF
fifteen cent toy, and in some instances
gifts that cost the donors SO were
handed out. In all, there were 76O
little hearts made unspeakably glad
by this kindly, time-honored remem-
brance of Don Margarito Romero and
wife.
The $50 check received from DR.

by Collector M. Romero was distri-
buted as follows according to the
