They are rather practical in Chicago. A student in the Chicago College of Physicians and Surgeons has brought suit to recover 800 that he spent while he was trying to make up his mind whether Miss Eva SellecIz, of Knoxville. Illinois, was the only one girl in the world for him. He finally made up his mind that it was case of mistaken identity on his part and got another girl. Miss Sellecl1 married pr. John II. Curtis of Chicago, and had nearly for gotten the whole affair when she and her husband were brought into court In an action to recover the s90 previous ly mentioned. The medical student says the money was spent for perfume, wine, condensed milk, a bathbrush cab rides whether he merely advanced the money with which these articles were bought with the understanding that 1t should be repaid, or whether the bathbrush, condensed milk, etc, were given to the girl as tokens of his deep affection. She says the articles were given to her as presents, but he says not
 Bathbrushes, condensed milk, hams, etc., may be considered love tokens in Chicago, and it will be interesting to see what the court says in this case.

FASHION NOTES.
The Ribbon Widens.

Since black velvet ribbon has been de- creed as q suitable trimming for fluffy summer dresses of white or the most delicate coors it has also been seized ,,non for the ornamentation of house dresses. Here too, delicacy of material or of color does not make the velvets black less tasteful For millinery and outdoor dresses almost all the velvet used as trimming is in the narroWest widths. Ribbons of like size are put on house gowns, but some or the new est dresses show wider bands. Wheth- CT these will have the vogue that the baby widths had is hard to say, but the
