- ONDON. Nov. 24-When the round
Of the shops has been made, when
ali has been seen, 1t is evident
- that the favorite material Of the
hour is velvet. Velvet and lace,
velvet and fur, velvet. fur and lace-the
three luxuries OF dress which, in the mid
die ages, were illegal to all save the no.
bility and gentry.
The woman who has only moderate
dress allowance. and who can AFFORD to
be economical in the sense of paying
good price for handsome gown. Will be
wise to purchase a dark velvet. black

a half low corsage. with elbow sleeves.
Then II you have some really good lace,
drape II on your corsage and you have
something to wear to dinners and recep-
tons which is always handsome.

Now Is the time to use any old lace
which you are fortunate enough to pos
sess, and even small scraps may be made
available by using them on a straight col
lar, either on both sides of the front.
or, II there is not enough for this, on the
overlapping end of the front.
Rich lace nowadays is invariably laid
fat, mounted as the French say, on an
other color so as to show the pattern.
The best possible investment in lace

Of lace to match for the sleeves Is amply

desirable. You can have nothing more
elegant than an old lace shawl to drape
over a satin princesse gown, especially
II you have a lace founce to match

~ HE deep elaboration and high art
istic effort that we lavished last
year on our collars has been d.
verted this season to the production
of countless varieties of belts. Last
spring the black satin pulley girdle found
a limitless number OF advocates but
the pulley belt only started the ball to
rolling, while the introduction of ribbon
tags and chenille and gold braid has al
most capped the climax. No woman be-
lieves she can worry through the winter
on fewer than ten belts. and not only
must she have belts for her waist. but
belts for her arms.
The pulley girdIe as a mechanical device
of the first order stiil holds good. but
instead of two ribbons only knotting in
front there are dozens of ends falling
from that point where the rings meet.
and every end Is completed by a gold
ball. tag or decorative filigree ferret. The

The st. Paul presbytery closed its~ses-
sion at the House of Hope yesterday aft
ernoon and adjourned until March IL, at
10 a. m. The matter of the Jordan church
trouble was laid over until that date for
Rev. e. p. Lewis was directed to supply
the pulpit of the Jordan Presbyterian
church for the four successive weeks be-
tween now and that date.
The time Of the presbytery was taken
UP principally with the matter of the
resignation of Rev. R. L. Barackman,
late pastor Of the Westminster Presby-
terrain church, Greenwood avenue and
Winifred street. Rev. Mr.. Barackman
received a call from the church at Mar
shall, and personally accepted it, sub
ject to approval of the presbytery There
was a strong delegation from Westmin-
ster church present, who vigorously pro-
tested against the dissolving of pastoral
relations between Rev. Barackman and
the church. AT first 1t appeared to be the
sentiment of the presbytery to refuse to
allow him to sever his connection. Mr..
e. W. Whitney, of the Marshall church,
was present and addressed the meeting,
stating the circumstances under which
Rev. Mr.. BRAKEMAN had received the
unanimous call. The latter also presented
his side Of the case, and on a vote he
was permitted to accept the call to Mar
shall, and Rev. e. P. Lewis delegated
to preach next Sunday at Westminster
church and declare the pulpit vacant.
The resignation of Rev. Barackman will
date from today.

BILE a pursuit have been resorting to the
usual schemes to secure free advertising
of their undertakings, and every effort is
being made to arouse public interest in

be little less than mere confidence
game to rob those who are disposed to
take the subject seriously and who back
their opinions by risking their money on
the outcome.
But an event has transpired which will
go further than any other circumstance
could possibly have gone at this time to
deprive the practice of prize fighting Of
the public interest which still attaches
to it.

Thomas Garland Said to Have OBJ
tanned His Cigars FeIOniousIy.
Thomas Garland was arrested here yes
terday on complaint Of the American Ex-
press company officials, of Minneapolis,
charged with larceny. It is alleged that
Garland has obtained several small con-
signments of cigars from the Mill City
express office by representing himself as
the individual for whom the goods were
intended. His operations are said not to
have been very extensive.
Garland was arrested by Detectives
Hallowell and Christensen in an office
in the Germania Life building. He took
his arrest coolly and declined to discuss
the charge against him. His alleged
method is said to have consisted in rep
resenting himself at the express Office as
an agent of cigar manufacturers, and
when goods arrived from certain concerns
he is alleged to have ordered tan deliv-
cred at addresses about the city where,
It Is claimed, he receipted for the goods.
Last evening Garland was taken back
to Minneapolis. An investigation will be
made by the local branch of the Amer
lean Express company to determine
whether any similar scheme has been
worked here.
