Royal brown is seen in all the new
goods. 1t is a rich. mellow brown, with
a touch of yellow in it. 1t comes in the
new English tweeds and is striped with
red and blue. Royal purple is again
popular and there is the new royal blue
and also the royal red. which is much
like cardinal, only clearer. There is quite
a difference IN these new tones when com =
pared to the old ones, as you will dis
tlnSulsh II you compar the reds of last
winter with those fresh from the shops.
These changes in color produce a variety
which is very pleasing at the change of
season.
Another color which is coming in very
last is eronese green, the green which
shades toward a bronze; and in the blues
there IS Marie Antoinette blue, which is
found in all fabrics even to gloyes-ar-
ticles in which it is exquisitely delicate.
A very wealthy American, writing over
mere Tor a rousseau for her niece, asked
that only the new colors be used. She
received the pearl white of summer the
lnky black which is SO much used in
tailor-made gowns, the wonderful blues
that have made their appearance this
1all, including ducks egg and pastel,
and the greens. of which there are a
oozeh. The reds. including Savoy and
automobile, were left out in favor of the
newer and brighter shades.
collars are growing taller. You see
standing collars of velvet, tall and
straight, with a high Medici in the back,
taperlng at the ides. These collars are
nned with silk to match the dress and
are very becoming to long thin necks.
Parlslans are so fond Of combining
colors and materials that it is difficult
70 get a PLAIN gown, if one can get it at
all. One firm of couturieres who cater to
the American trade, will make upon order
a plain cloth dress of cadet blue. but
they DO not like to do SO. The most pop
ular of all materials is the one that is
striped and if there are three materials
such as cloth with a satin stripe and an.
other stripe of coarse lace, then the style
or the dress is assured, SO a famous
dressmaker told me.
The demi-train will be fashionable all
Winter-it adds height and is becoming
when skirts are worn so tight. The train
IS cut round and so shaped that it flares
like a fan.
sleeves are approaching the coat sleeve.
For the street, in a jacket or cloth bodice.
they are plain and tight, but in the house,
Tor dinner or other occasions, they are
trimmed at the shoulder, Either a, noint
OF lace is set in the sleeve, or a cap Of
lace Is placed over it; or, it is trimmed
with beads or pa~Ssementerie in some
way, or perhaps the yoke is extended over
the top Of the sleeve.
Evening dresses have no sleeves at all.
The body Of the waist, minus sleeves 81
yoke. is tied over the shoulder with a bow
OF ribbon, and that is all. The bodice is
cut somewhat blouse, making a very
babyish finish to an evening bodice.
Winter Jackets are cut very long and
are lined throughout the tails. For early
fall there is the Elton. and the newer
jacket, the bolero Elton. which is a com
%bination Of both garments. For winter
there, will be the very long cloak, loose
and heavily lined, like the automobile
cloaks, but longer and heavier.

ioundlng up a band of horse thieves. He
IS owner OF a good sized ranch, and while
working out in a pasture neal his home
some time since came across a buzzard's
nest, IN which reposed four as handsome
snow-white eggs as the eye Of a man ever
looked upon.
The discovery Of these eggs immedi-
ately set him to thinking of a little game
that he would play upon his faithful
spouse. Wrapping them up with care he
bore them to the house, intending to tell
Mrs. Brookshire that he had been pre-
sented with some uncommonly fine eggs
from a fancy breed of chickens, and that
it was the proper thing to putthem I'M
der one of her sitting lens Immediately.
He knew how ono she was Of having
choice specimens of the feathered tribe,
and shook with laughter as he pictured
her disgust when these young buzzards
should be Matched out.
"RevOlving these merry thoughts, he
went into the kitchen to make the pres
entation. 1t happened that his wife was
not there, and he placed them Or a table.
intending to call her attention to them
later. Just atthis time he was called out

enough to drive all thoughts of the joke
out of his head. He stayed away a
couple of hours. and when supper ?ursea
couple of hours, and when he reached
home. supper was ready. Being rather
hungry from his tramp in the pasture,
the sheriff sat down to the table and ate
with good relish the viands placed before
him.
suddenly the recollection of his find
flashed across his mind. My DEAR said
he. 'wehn | left the house awhile ago I
put some eggs over on the table yonder.
Did you get them?'
- certainly did. and you have just
eaten them for your supper quote Mrs.
~Brookshire. Why. what on earth ails
you" as the sheriff clapped both hands
about the middle Of his corporosity and
rushed for the pen air. She thought.
y that he had been suddenly seized
with a fit Of some kind. and followed to
render assistance. 1t tOok him several
hours to recover, but he has utterly re-
nounced practical joking

A Christian Science Affair

Kansas City, Mo-, March 23.-
Clarence Wayland, 20-months-old
son of J. f. Wayland, died this
morning of scarlet fever, and much
Indignation is expressed by the
neighbors over the refusal of the
child's mother, who is a Christian
scientist, to allow a physician to
treat her. Wayland, the child
father, is not a scientist, and when
the child became i'll he insisted
upon calling a physician. His
wife objected, and during his ab
sence spirited the child away to
her mothers home. Wayland Sc
cured a physician and appealed to
the police, securing a warrant for
the arrest of his wife and mother
in-law. The officers compelled the
woman to allow the physician to
prescribe for the child, but it was
beyond the reach of medicines
when the doctor arrived. Globe

THE question of street light
seems to be gaining in favor. A
gentleman who has had a great
deal to do with prosecuting crimi-
mails and has had other means of
acquiring information declares that
street lights decrease crime. 1t is
generally conceded that evil-doers
prefer darkness

profession and the public generally
are agreed. That is that filthy
towns are unhealthy towns. Ard

out of the side ditch and has a de
cent gutter put down. But all the
filth of Ardmore is not III that
side ditch.
