much helpful advice from him.
He warned Mark that there was sure to
be opposition developed to the scheme.

that the town would be slow to change its

days and you will take charge"
Yes, sir" replied Thomas, and next
morning the judge was on his way to
Denver. He picked up his clew there
without having elbowed anybody or
soiled the polish of his shoes. He
met friends and talked politics and
real estate and mines, and, lighting a
fresh cigar, be took a train for the
east. Arriving in New York City, he
paid a detective to locate the couple.
but he didn't lug out a gun and shout
at the top of his voice that he was an
injured husband thirsting for gore. He
simply threw a couple of big goldpieces
on the table to pay the for the infor-
nation and descended to the cafe for
lunch. A steamer was sailing for the
day, and when she departed the judge
was orSSf her passengers. There were
more than a hundred others, and as
the weather was also stormy for the
first two or three days out no n
commented on the fact that the pas
senger who was registered as Major
Davis stuck close to his cabin and had
his meals brought to him by a stew
ard. Judge Dale had changed his
name, but he had no idea of changing
his identity. There were laughter and
conversation and a clatter of dishes as
all the passengers finally gathered for
dinner for the first time since leaving
Sandy Hook. To the right of the cap
tain sat n of the handsomest ladies
and one of the finest looking gentle>
men on the list, but taken altogether
it was a grand array of wealth and cul-
ture. Dinner was fairly under way,
and the lady or the captains right was
beaming, when she happened to cast
her eyes down the table, and her face
went as white as death in a second.
Half a dozen people caught her words
as she whispered to her supposed hus-
band:
MY God, John, but there is the
judge!"
The man looked. and the color went
out of his cheeks, and his jaw fell.
Near the foot of the table sat the man
who had taken a new name. He was
cool and placid, and only the ghost OF
a smile lowered around his mouth. He
looked the m and the man full in

tan colored and corn colored straw and
OF straw in its natural shades that are
trimmed with tulle, put around the crown
IN the form of a big soft roll that COM
pletely hides the crown. At one side
there is a big nodding rose of pink or red
or white standing high upon it's stalk with
a leaf or two.
The rose is used upon the back of the
stock and 1t is also seen upon the belt and
on the parasol. Four large handsome
roses of silk or velvet are used for this
purpose and often you will find them
scented with a powder which is concealed
in their stalk.
Large bows of new ribbon are used in
connection with these roses. The ribbon
is of satin brocaded with velvet flowers in
their natural colors. In silk ribbons you
see flowers of cashmere set in and very
natural they look with their dull hues; all
ribbons are deliberately brocaded, n
there are few materials that are not min
gled in with the silk and satin gound-
work of the ribbon.
A Lace Novelty.
Another novelty of the season is the lace
braid which is used for trimming many
waists. 1t looks like lace, but is much
coarser and is generally in the form of an
insertion. 1t comes in cotton and silk of
all colors. 1t is of renaissance pattern
and is used for sewing upon the waist be-
tween rows of tucks. This lace braid re-
minds you, in some patterns, a little of
the old fashioned torchon which in its day
enjoyed such a popularity.
Among the transparent materials that
are new this season is a crash so coarse
that the lining is visible. Threads of the
crash are drawn and ribbons run through.
In this way a neat shirring is made for
the yoke. Ecrue colored crash, over a lin
ing of pink, is very pretty, especially
when worn with a sash and stock of pink
and an ecru hat with a nodding pink rose.
The functions of pink have been increas-
ed this seasoi by the many new shades.
Many of these have familiar names, like
the lawson pink of a couple of seasons
ago. The Dewey pink is a very pale pink
while the Empire pink is rather deep.
Brunettes can aspire to all these shades,
unless it be the deepest of them, but the
blonde must be careful. 1t takes very lit
tie to make a fair complexion muddy by
the side of a ripe pink. Better choose the
fair shades, even though they fade a lit.

it is to be a brocade season; and the

They call him Judge" Dale, be-
cause in the far west you never mis-
ter" a man when you can call him
colonel" or Judge. AS James Dale
looked more like a judge than a colo
mel, they called him as 1 have said.
He was a mine owner, and when things
went wrong he could make hot times
for engineers and foremen, but he
did't do it in a vulgar way. He was
always a gentleman even when he
cussed the hardest. AS a matter of
fact, the judges motto was good
clothes and cigars, his dinner and the
FORM" and he carried it out in his
way he took the news when a fall of
rock in the Emma mine buried II men

ion was, please wipe your feet on the
rug next time" What he did was to
fill out II checks for 5 1000 apiece for
the respective widows.
! have it on good authority that
Judge Dale was not vulgarly startled
when he received word from Denver
that his handsome wife, to whom he
a been married five years and who
was visiting friends. had taken an old
lovers arm and severed conjugal rela-
tons by clipping. Others got the news
about the same time, and they couldn't

the pretty soft GOODNESS of such a gown
and the sensation it made in a wilderness
of color"
A brilliant touch of color is given these
rather sombre gowns by the stock which
Is OF bright blue or green, or even of
scarlet. For the making of these stocks
the newest colors are used, the fair pale
shades of green and the startling greenish
blues being very popular. In reds, ge-
ranium leads at present. its ripe brillian-
cy making it a favorite, as it gives to cos
tunes the one touch they may lack.
Fancy Stitching.
The combinations in materials grow
more numerous, instead of fewer. The
tailor made gown has gone from simpIic-
ity to completely, and you see gowns of
satin cloth trimmed with silver applique.
and tailor made costumes of cashmere
decorated with designs in velvet. These
designs are applied freely to yoke and
sleeves and are put upon the skirt in
panels; they are also used from trimming
the bare spaces in the skirt where the
ruftle is put on in scallops.
In its beauty of stitching. the tailor
made gown still remains alone and SUI

complicated and are put on in all sorts of
ways. Stitching has become a profession,
or rather a regular occupation; and there
are seamstresses who devote all their
time to it. The handsomest tailor gowns
are given into their hands and, with care
ful fingers, they guide tn emachine along
the outlines of the seams III a way that
marks the tailor made dress and gives it
a distinction of its own.
Nor are the seams the only parts that
are stitched. Tn tailor-made dresses are
decorated along the hem with haudsoms
flowers in stitched designs. The most ex-
pert stitchers use the natural colors and
| the result is a border of flowers in stitch
ed design, along the hem of the skirt, and
upon the waist. Heavy silk is used for
stitching, but no attempt is made at en-
broidery or other fancy stitch. A rapid
stitcher will complete a tailor-made gown
in three days and the result will be ex-
tremely neat.
A decided combination in materials is
afforded by the new method of using let,
steel and gun metal as yokes. Entire
yokes are made of these materials. sewed
upon a foundation in tiny pieces, in such
a way as TO cover the yoke completely
This is worn over a dress of thin SUBJ
stance, even over tulle and other trans
parencies, and thus the armor becomes a
part of the transparent waist.

Nothing appeals to the feminine eye any quicker than the wardrobe and millinery worn by the ladies engaged on the stage. Many a weak spot in a performance has been smoothed ovel by handsome gown. It is announced by the manager of Have You Seen smith, that one of the attractive features in connection with this high ly successful farce comedy is the cos tuning of the ladies. Each and every gown and dress was designed, and the materials selected by a celebrated I'd Parisian modiSte, and sent to New York for construction. Some of the ladies make four or five complete changes of costume during the per formance. In arranging the dresses for each act, care was taken to blene the colors, and present an even hal mony of tone which is in itself yerl commendable, as nothing jars a sensi tive eye any more than clashins o | colOrS.
