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 men s attire, In shirts,
ties, hosiery and soft hats, and that this
summer might see 4 return to more placid
and subdued hues and patterns as 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 viii 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 hlse crush
hat, have rival this year in pale white hat,
with the under side of the brim and also the
band of deep blue, making a striking corr
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 I'M
combination, are once more to the fore, and
when the young man of the period gets HIM

buy, with red and blue barred shirt and
cuffs, a white collar, a red hat and plaid
hose showing above his low ties, he VIII

The Blind Goddess.

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 III The Blind
Goddess" Just issued, a novel drawn in a
new vein, but full of dramatic climaxes

many who never read murder stories, in
eidents are used familiar to all who have
followed the recent poison cases.
The prosecuting officers theory of the
crime, the appalling accusation of the in
nocent daughter OF one of the murdered
men, the web of circumstantial evidence
around and against man of unblemished
character, who is also accused, the defense
less position both of these people occupy
before the coroner, the subsequent indict-
ment without hearing before a magistrate
all these things make the reader think.

ventures, for whose presence 10 apology is
offered, as it turns out that she is the real
culprit.
The occasional glimpses of an exclusive
social circle, the charming heroine Helen
Brownell, the strong willed but intensely
human Sanford Crane, offer opportunities
for Mr.. Tyler'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
ltal crime; but the well-handled romance
running through it all and the satisfactory
denouement make ''The Blind Goddess a
marvelously entertaining book, running over
with surprises in its movement and its lit

Square depot, when middie-aged woman
and handsome girl, both ladies, passed me

gentlemanly- looking chap who carried their
baggage. A moment later this fellow pushed
up to and said he was in a most embar-

aboard, and had lost his mileage book. He
would introduce me to them and give me

him ten dollars-all ] had to spare. He in
sisted on giving me his diamond scarfpin,
and then rushed into the station to see if
he could get more cash. As the train pulled
out without him, he came running wildly
