A few nights since an attempt was
made to enter the house Of &. ID. llerin
on Derby street by removing the outside
face casing so as to take out the sash,
but the parties were alarmed before they
could complete their work aud decamped,
The next evening another attempt was
made by similar methods to gain en-
trance to house near by, and here too
they had their labor for their pains, their
work and talking arousing the inmates.
A third attempt was more successful, as
regards securing plumber. Last Thurs
day afternoon while Jamon Perry and
wife were haymaking their home was
entered, without the necessity OF break
mo windows or removing window
sashes and $40 distracted from Mrs
Perry's wallet. Really this business is
getting little too monotonous.

night and nothing has been heard OF
her since. Tuesday morning Capt. Ran

the Connecticut river and back on the
other side. and then nearly to Guildhall,

the SLIGHTEST trace. 1t is surmised that
after leaving Wenlock she must have
wandered into the woods, and if so the
prospect of finding her is far from en-

THE new BODICE.

The bodice which promises to be most
popular is the blouse. revival really.
for three years ago it was largely worn.
a decided majority Of the newest bodices
show the sagging front. One sees large
number of gowns cut with what is called
the French blouse-that is, blouse that
falls over the belt both back and front.
1t is considered as suitable for formal
gowns as for everyday service.
Much OF the success OF the up-to-date
blouse Is due to the new style OF cor
set.
The difficulty in designing an autumn
or winter dress Is TO evolve a bodice over
which a warm coat will slip easily eff
and on. Many of the smart dresses are
now made with an Elton or bolero over
a more or less ornamental front and
with collar and reyers that would sadly
interfere with the outline of an outdoor
Jacket suitable for wear in cold weather.
The French fashion models show few de-
signs for bodices pure and simple, with
outline as guiltless of excrescences, so
as TO be worn under a coat without max
ing the shoulders look round, even hump
backed. Almost invariably these bodi-
ces are pouched at the waist. not so EN-
phatically or obtrusively as they were
a year or two since, but sufficiently To
take away the straight trimness TO
which we were once so welded.
Some of the pouched fronts are car
ried up in straight lines on either
side of the front 10 the shoulders, the
space between being filled in with coll
lar and vest I'm white, cream color CT
some tint harmonizing with the dress
and it's trimmings.
Others are maue with stitched bre-
telles of the material OF the gown, the
lines of which meet AT the waist at the
back, but end in sort OF stole at each
side of the front. Sometimes these bre-
telles are covered with guipure.

SHORT SKIRTS IN FAVOR.

1t is noticeable that the new cloth cos
tunes made by the home tailors are
much shorter in the skirt than those i'm
ported from abroad. Foreign authorities
still vouch for long dress skirts, but the
tendency is, nevertheless, towards skirt
brevity.
Women who drive in their own equi-
pages will wear handsome cloth gowns
with trailing skirts and perishable trim
ming this winter but women who are
compelled to walk or use public convey
ances will wear gowns OF sensible
length--just reaching the ground or es-
Gaping il by a few inches Skirts with a
little trail TO them Will still be favored
for house wear, but they are not ind!s-
pensable.
Even evening frocks sweep the floor
less volminously than they did last sea-

There are new graceful autumn mod
els In the five and seven-gored skirts
the backs cut TO conform to the latest
style, OF certain amount of fullness at
the back i'm slight draperies, in box
plaits, number OF partly stitched plaits,
or French shirrings very closely massed
Some OF the skirts of new tailor gowns,
although circular N Snapc, are tIliililtu
down the front and sides with bands
of cloth put on exactly like the strapped
seams OF gored skirts. The skirts them
selves are very graceful in effect. but
have rather the appearance OF being
draped, as they are arranged en- jabot
on each side OF the back. Little short
coats, nearly covered with stitched
bands of cloth, are worn with these
skirts. They are tight fitting at the back
and the skirt or postillion portion is very
short and absolutely fiat.
They are double breasted in front and
made without bust darts, which makes
them look something like the box coats of
last spring. The pointed revers on the
upper part of the jacket are faced with
cream white cloth edged with three rows
of very narrow gold braid.
Some OF the new Paris models show
the short overskirt predicted for some
time. but not until now really present.

with favor here remains to be seen. In
the suartest of the French models the

PIES AND SHORTCAKE.

To improve the flavor of an apple pie
sprinkle the fruit with lemon Juice after
IL is filled into the crust, and cover Il
with tiny pieces of butter. Then add the
sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon. Chu-
dren always. and sometimes those of n
larger growth, prefer a sprnkling OF
carraway seed for flavoring.
Another preventive for running over
is the use of rather deep pie tins that
have broad edge at the top. With
these the bottom crust should be slight
ly moistened with water and the two
crusts pinched tightly together below
the top of the tin, leaving the crusts
quarter OF an inch at the top, free from
each other. Then free the bottom crust
from the side OF the tin all around the
edge and press the two forward. separat-
ing them at the very edge. After some
practice in this way the edge OF the pie
can be made quite decorative. and there
will be less danger of losing the Juice.
In any case. generous iventilations must
be left I'm the upper crust.

ored Southern cooks were once so ia

There has been no time since William
Jennings Bryan FIRST rose above the po-
litical horizon as a presidential candidate
that thinking citizens have regarded him
otherwise than as a demagogue. That
this estimate OF the man is not n
mistaken one is shown with convincing
force by the tenor OF the speeches he has
been delivering I'm the west OF late. They
are not simply filled With prophesies OF
calamity but they contain sinister state
ments intended To infiame the unwary
wage worker against his employer. the
courts OF Justice and the government He
has for example, declared that IL is the
intention OF the government TO establish
garrisons i'm the centres OF Industrial ac-
tivity so that soldiers may overawe the
laborer. To bolster up such a dangerous
and deceptive argument he points 10 the
use of troops TO quell the riots at Chica-
go and at Coeur d'Alene, but he studi-
ously avoids all reference 10 the fact
that the employment OF troops at Chicago
was by the order Of a Democratic presi-
dent and at Occur d'Alene at the call of
a Democratic governor.

Many a woman who spends much time
and energy and money on her toilet is
puzzled when she hears admirers OF
French women euiogize their elegance,
distinction and taste.
She knows the average French woman
Is not extravagant, that she does not veer
round with every wind of fashion and
discard all her frocks at the first caprice
OF new leader OF styles. She contends
that Parisians are not as good looking as
American women. and that they are Of
ten DER plump and frequently mustached.
Yet she cannot convince any one who
has seen the smart French woman OF
fashion that the dark and sometimes
very demurely dressed person Is not more
piquante and smart and bien mise than
her handsomer and wealthier Anglo-SaX-
on rival.
The French woman's triumph is owing
partly to inherent charm of person.
which has little To do with fine feathers
or coloring, but is very potent just the
same-and partly To a religious attention
TO details, says the Commercial Adver-
tiser.
The fair-skinned Anglo-Saxon may
spend more money on her clothes than
does the Parisienne, but the latter can
contrive 10 make her small person Ver-
liable temple Of luxury. Her gowns are
perfumed. but not with heavy, vulgar
odors Amber, orchid. cyclamen give a
delicate fragrance TO her garments.

ten Is more elaborate than her gown her
