The Mind Goddenn.

Intensely modern is the new murder story
by Randall Irving Tyler, entitled "The
Blind Goddess" There is, it seems, evolu.
ton in murder stories as well as in every.
thing else.
Those who read Tyler's "Four Months
After Date" and said the book was clever
though perhaps weighted down with bust,
ness transactions, will find in "The Blind
Goddess" just issued, a novel drawn in a
new vein, but full of dramatic cimaXes,

men, the web Of circumstantiOl evidence
around and against man of unblemished
character, who is also accused, the defense

The occasional glimpses of an exclusive

human Sanford Crane, offer opportunities
for Mr.. Tyer's ability in character sketch
ing which he has not neglected; even the
adventures challenges admiration at times
by the boldness and GOODNESS of her method.
The title, as will be readily understood,
applies to the more serious side of the novel,
which has to do with prosecution for cap

denouement make "The Blind Goddess" a

UPRoARIoUS APPAREL.
That Worn by the Young Man of the
Period Would Make Solomon
Look Like Thirty Cents.

Some hopeful people had an idea last sum
mer that the limit had about been reached
in the loud colors of mems attire, in shirts,
ties, hosiery and soft hats, and that this
summer might see return to more placid
and subdued hues and patterns as n sort of
reaction. The advance styles in the win
dows of the haberdashers' shops indicate
that such hopes are vain and that linen and
things will this year be even more startling
than last season, If that be possible, Some
of the shirts on display in the windows seem
to actually shrek through the glass at the
observer, and the width Of the stripes is OF
the general style and pattern so long popu.
lar at Joliet penitentiary. These converse.
tional shirts have gradually grown worse
and worse each year until now the pessimists
do not see how anything worse can happen
than the things which are now on sale.
The red hat affected by the college boy
last year and its side partner, the blue crush
hat, have rival this year in a pale white hat,
with the under side Of the brim and also the
band of deep blue, making a striking con-
trast of color, which seems to be what is
most particularly desired.
All the hashy patterns in hosiery, the
plaids, the reds and yellows and greens in
combination, are once more to the fore, and
when the young man of the period gets him
self up in all the colored trimmings he can
buy, with red and blue barred shirt and
cuffs, a white collar, a red hat and plaid
hose showing above his low ties, he will
make Solomon in all his glory look like 30
