d with the larceny of a chatelaine bag
and a pocketbook from Mrs Mary Nc
Williams. and who now is confined in

The KiIheImina Gown

The latest thing is the Wilhelmina
gown. 1t is Dutch, and is said to be
easy to make. 1t is in dark colors, or
o.d-fashioned tones, dull gray, old
blue. butter color, chamois, castor and
heliotrope. Those in the tints that are
not too bright are the prettiest Satin
is the ideal material, but it is better to
take a soft. lightweight cashmere for
its wearing qualities The waist of
the gown is very short, little deeper
than the yoke. and to this yoke, which
comes under the arms, the skirt is shir-
red. A little bOlerO Of cloth of the
same color is slipped on. The bolero
is an arm bolero, just arm holes with
the back cut to a high point, up be-
tween the shoulders. The embroidery
on the gown is one Of its quaint fea-
lures. 1t is done in the Old-fashioned
petticoat manner. with leaves, buds,
eyelet holes and all, just as they used
10 embroider petticoats years ago
There is a belt, but it is a very loose
thing. capable of being pushed low in
front.

About stocks

Lives there a maid with soul so dead
who never to herself has said: How
would love Ito have that stock" as an
array of beauties was laid before her
dazzled eyes? There never were such
pretty and becoming things to tempt
the dollars and dimes from the femi-
nine pocketbook as the stores are
Showing this season. Some of them
seem rather high in price at the first
Thought, but when one takes into con-
sideration how a gown Is freshened
and embellished. the cost really is a
secondary matter.
One of the loveliest displays is to be
seen at Kennard's. and the woman
would be hard to please indeed who
could not find just what she wanted
there. In all the delicate colors, white,
pink, blue and violet, and in combina-
tion Of colors. there are the prettiest
things imaginable. One that is partic-
ularly lovely had a foundation of soft
white silk At the base of the stock
was fold of blue silk and over that a
Diece of insertion. At the very bottom
was a fold of narrow black velvet rib
.bOns, long ends and loops of which
hung from the front, caught with tiny
round blue enamel buckles On the
stock proper in the front were a couple
Of rows of blue cabachons, and there
were a couple of rows of the same to
complete the fastening in the black.
But the girl who is handy with her
.needle can make charming little af-
fairs at about One-tenth of the cost
she would have to pay for them in the
stores. Most women have lots of lace
and odds and ends Of silks and from
these can be manufactured no end OF
swell and becoming stocks.

The Opal Is Popular

Despite the old-time superstition
that the opal is an unlucky stone, the
jewellers are showing hundreds of the
exquisite gem set in all shapes and
styles. They seem to be most popular
in rings and set either alone in dull
gold, or surrounded by small dia-
monds, they are sufficiently lovely to
make any woman forget the superstt-
ton she ever entertained regarding
them. In the store window of one
well-known ieweler alone the entire
space is devoted TO the display Of opal
and turquoise rings.

Continuing Mr.. Gage says that Con

what degree reduction in rates shall ap-
ply. In my opinion, Il would be within

Shutting Down Collieries.

Thus far no definite orders have been
issued either by the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western company or the
Delaware and Hudson company i'ela-
tive to shutting down the collicries
hereabouts the last two days of the
week. Inquiries at both Superintcnd-
eni Loonis and superintendent Rose y
Office revealed nothing of that nature,
and If any orders to that effect had
been issued these gentlemen certainly
would know something about them.
II is true that several of the collieries
hereabouts operated by these COM
pnnies are shut down temporarily now
and then to permit of repairs. or on
account of a shortage of cars. but as
far as working them on two-thirds
time is concerned. that Is matter for
future revelation. A prominent official
Of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western company stated yesterday tn
The Tribune man that it may not be
necessary, to issue such an order, as
the repair work that is usually done at
this time of the year may necessitate
temporary suspension at Macy of the
collierics. In that event, only about
half time will be worked.
1t is Il fact that the demand for an
thracitc coal has somewhat subsided,
and inasnuch as there is an apparent
demand for cars. the operators may
take advantage of it and prosecute the
repair work needed more vigorously.
Up to the present time there has been
no effort made by the Lackawanna
company to store their reproduction
of coal at the new coal storage plant
erected last fall near the Hampton
breaker. Aside from a small amount of
washery coal there, there is nothing
doing" at that point
