bogus Money in Poker.

A jury in the United States court
at Indianapolis, Ind, returned a YER
dict, in which it was held that il is
no violation of law to use a counter
felt coin in opening a jackpot" in a
poker game. The case was that of
Jesse Page, of Elnora, who was
charged with passing a counterfeit
dollar while he was playing poker.
\ Jackpot" was the object for which
the players were striving. Page
''broke the pot" for a dollar, and
tossed the coin on the table with the
chips that were already there. The
pot was raked in by man who was
a witness for the government in the
case.

Mock Trial Was Interesting

In the home OF DR.. Benjamin Thomp-
son, near Hockessin, on Saturday even
ing, the breach of promise mock trial
given by the Penn Social Circle was
well attended. and one of the social
features OF the season.
The action was brought by Julian G.
Walker. attorney for Miss Anna East
burn, charging Edward Peach with
breach of promise.
Francis NJ. Walker represented Mr..
Peach, and moved for a change Of
venue. Affidavits accompanied the
motion, but Judge Horace Greeley
Eastburn, of The court in mockery, re-
fused to grant a change of venue, and
demanded that the trial proceed at
once forthwith and without delay.
There was an instant scramble for
place and the trial began. 1t was ex-
citing, and the jury wept as the fair
plaintiff told how her tender affections
had been played with by the heartless
defendant. who sat covering before
her torrent of censure.
He recovered in time to beg mercy
but the jury had made up its mind that
Mr.. Peach should not escape the pen
atty for his giddy ways.
A verdict was given to the plaintiif

NOTES FROM WOMANS REALM
Black More Popular Than Ever

Black is being worn more this win
ter than for many seasons past. When
black is becoming it is very much so,
but to the average woman there is no
beautifying power in its unrelieved
.sombreness. 1t aceentuates the lines,
the lack of color and other complexion
faults. But almost any woman can
wear black, if 1t be relieved by just
the right color for her complexion.
With touch of white, pale blue or
other becoming shade, and the use Of
soft white or cream materials, black
ralment may be effectively worn by
the woman who could not otherwise
assume it.
One of the best-looking girls at a
tea the ether afternoon wore black
broadcloth suit, with a white silk
waist, one of the new embroidered
white silk stocks. a huge bunch of vio-
lets, white gloves and a tricorne
shaggy white beaver hat trimmed in
black It was a very simple and be-
coming toilet, but it did not suffer a

The PODuIar Gait

One seldom considers that gait is
matter of fashion. but it is. In the
time the large hoops were worn, a
short. waddling step was the mode.
Fashion and hygiene have never been
so little at variance as at present,
when an upright, straightforward gait
is in vogue, says the Pittsburg Press.
An erect posture of the body according
to the directions given to the military
cadets. chin in, chest out and stomach
in" should be observed. The lower
extremities should be swung forward
from the hip joint freely and easily,
the foot coming down on the toes first,
then the rest of the foot, the heels
reaching the ground last There has
been much discussion as to which
part of the foot should be placed upon
the ground in walking, but writers
now generally agree that the tees
should come down first, they are or
gans of feeling and give sense Of
support to the body. The natural way
of walking has been studied by OBJ
serving Indians and Arabs and it has
been found that those who walk best
and most gracefully point the toes
downward stepping on them first
me turning of the toes out in walk
ing is not so much dwelt upon as for
merly. The ungraceful toeing-in
should. of course. be avoided, but the
angle made by bringing the heels to-
gether and turning the toes out, mill
tary fashion need not be practiced so
industriously as the old time precepts
dictate. The study of the gait and the
best methods of walking is now prose-
cuted by means of prints of the soles
Of the feet made either by walking in
soft clay or by chalking or blackening
the soles. In this way many of the
irregularities of gait, indicative either
OF nervous disease or impending defor-
mites. have been discovered The
process has been equally useful in
analyzing The best methods of walk
ing, the results favoring the straight
forward swing from the hip and frank
placing Of the foot, beginning at the
toes. not turning in at the ankle, but
letting it fall naturally.

Something New in Purses

There are people who are fond Of de-
claring that there is nothing new un-
der the sum-" and it is very evident
that they have been living in their
shells and do not even make the at
tempt to keep pace with the times.
Most people, however, deem it wise to
make the attempt. The very latest
thing to tempt the dollars from femi-
nine hands is the chain pocketbook. 1t
is something of the shape of the old
fashioned "cabba" of our grandmoth-
|ers. but is very much smaller. 1t
comes principally in suede, and some-
lines in the finest and softest of leath-
|ers. and from end to end is a chain, by
(which the lucky owner swings it be-
fore the envious gaze. Hence its
name.

Fashions in Lacss

AIl-over lace is still considered very
elegant, and is made up in number OF
novel combinations. yellow lace is
made up over rose colored satin in one
of the most delightful evening waists.
The Gecolletage is bordered with
twist of black velvet, and
single fiat black velvet straps
cross the shoulders. Directly in
front are two straight tabs
rounded off at the top and bottom.
These reach from the upper to the
lower edge of the cOrsage. They are
made of rose cOlored panne embroid-
cred with graceful sprays of yellow
lace applique. A little front OF plated
rose crepe de chine peeps from be-
tween them. A scarf of crepe de chine
passed around the waist knots near
the front and hangs in two long sash
ends. The short sleeve puffs and a
full rosette at the hollow Of the right
shoulder are also of crepe.
A corsage that is very oddly trimmed
is in apple green liberty satin. A
corselet Of changeable green taffeta
at the waist is laced behind with
black ribbon passing through en-
broidered eyelets the size of a dime.
The girdle is covered with black lace
in upturned points that almost touch
the points of black lace entre-deux
above them. The neck is rounded
smoothly out and finely embroidered
with Jet An ordinary black silk
skirt may be used with this corsage,
though the original model had a full
plated skirt Of apple green liberty
satin covered at the sides and back
with a trellis work of jet, filled in at
the top centre and bottom and along
the front edges with diamond shaped
pieces of black chantilly. The sleeves
are long and made like the overskirt
with jet and lace.

No Word For Love.

In comparison with the English
tongue foreign tongues seem parsimo-
nious IN some ways Of expression and
wasteful In others.
For Instance, It is impossible to ''klck'
a man in French. You must give him
a blow with the foot" The Portu-
guese do not "wink" at one; they "close
and open the eyes"
In the languages Of the American In
dians there is no word with which to
convey the idea Of Stealing" perhaps
because the idea Of property is so
vague. 1t is related Of one Of the early
missionaries that In attempting to
translate the Bible into Algonquin he
could find no word to express 'love"
and was compelled to invent 1t.
