She was new to city ways and when

FASHION LETTER.

more beautiful and more elaborate now
than they have ever been.
So many Of the best gowned women
have at last adopted the fashion OF the
collarless. slightly decolIete gown for
their theatre going frocks that it would
seem as though in the near future we
were likely to adept the English Gus.
tom OF expecting women of fashion to
dress for the play as much-or as little
as they do for the opera.
At one Of the recent first nights, where
the audience was especially brilliant. all
the smartest women wore these gowns
With the new decollete. The decollete,
it is to be remarked. is exceedingly ugly,
and utterly impossible unless completed.
as it usually is, by collar of pearls.
These pearl collars, by the way, must
be as wide as ones throat permits, or
they, too. are failure.
Mrs. Ogden Mills gown at the play
the other night was cut with the new
decollete, and was OF black Chantilly
lace, with stitchings Of narrow black
velvet. The sleeves are to the elbow
as, indeed, they are almost invariably
worn with this semi-demi-decol,
and were flushed with rather taring
ruffles OF lace edged with narrow velvet.
Mrs. Mills throat is long and slender,
therefore her pearl collar was as wide as
needs re to be ultra smart.
With her blac frock Mrs. Mills wore
long white gloves. which gave the it,
dividual note to her ensemble, that, in
these days. as We all know, is the aim
and ambition of every woman with sar-
torial aspirations.
Miss Mills wore simple gown-all
white-made with the same decollete.
Her pearl collar was not as elaborate as
her mothers, but it was quite as wide.
Miss Evelyn Burden wore quite the
smartest black frock Of the season, and
made one wish that paillettes were just
coming 10. in place of going out.
1t was a mass Of glittering black pail
lettes sewn on black net in a specially
good design. and studded every few
inches with brilliants. The bodice was
cut bit low and then outlined with
white lace thickly sewn with small bril-
liants. The sleeves to the elbow were
OF the black paillettes. and from the ell
bow to the hand they were of the dia-
mond-sewn white lace.
Miss Burdens collar was very similar
to Mrs. Mills.
Mrs. Fred Nelson wore black lace
gown. Mrs. Nelson's collar has an un.
usually wide diamond clasp that goes
almost half around her throat.
Mrs Nelson's note OF individuality
that night consisted in her wearing one
huge black pearl in one ear and white
pearl. equally large. in the other ear, and
a very smart note it was.
Mrs. Albert Stevens also affects the
new decollette and it's accompanying
pearl collar, and 80 do-oh. ever 60 many
others equally smart and powerful; 80 it
seems safe to say that this nearly decol-
lete fashion-which is both pretty and
come to stay:
As Modish has been its strongest
advocate since it first ventured to creep
toto existence, it is but natural that
there should be rejoicings in the Modish
family now that it is to be allowed to
live and have its being" successfully.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is wearing
1t the play very smart gown OF pale
blue crepe de chine embroidered with

Quite Dramatic.

Dramatic indeed was little perform
ance rendered without admission fee in
the lobby of the Western Union tele-
graph office by a young man, young
woman and razor one day the latter
part Of last week. The young man had

him Of having one too many, He wanted
to write note 10 sweetheart No, ,. and
she nterposed an objection. She said
If any notes were written she would
write them herself, Then she empha-
sized her objection with the flourish of a
razor, He adjured the messenger boys
in the Office to telephone for the police
She countermanded the order with
threats against their personal safety and
punctuated her sentences sharply with
cuss words. Neither OF the actors we're
as large in years as in iniquity.
Finally she landed with her razor on
his wrstand drew gore. Then she kicked,
pushed, showed or threw him over
against the wall and out of the door

Mrs. Nation Was Here.

Mrs. Nation, the woman who seems to
have proved herself to be much more of
terror to the oinlis;s and law breakers
Of Kansas than the law and all the sher.
IFS was in the city and lectured at the
First M.E, church on Sunday, She
lectured al Njckerson the night be.
fore. Sunday she went back to Wich-
ita and with few other Wichita women
whom she had interested wrecked three
more joints, smashed their plate glass
and licked the sheriff, She seems to be
wholly unterrided by her incarceration
in the Wichita bastle, and the tolls of
the law have so far rested lightly upon
her Her first accomplishments in bar
wrecking in the Carey hotel appear to
have been Of an insignificant variety
compared with this last. Her lecture
drew large crowd to the church and
they listened as though in fear of some
thing awful. Of course curiosity at
tracted many, She is no orator. She is
a kindly faced, gray haired matron Of
about sixty years who has had much
more than her share of this worlds
trouble, most Of which was brought on
through drink, She told the story of
her wrecked home, the murder of her
first husband. She now believes that
she has mission from OH high to des-
troy joints. She prays and then like the
puritans Of old goes forth to battle.
In her lecture here she gave some in
timations that could not be easily mis-
taken that her mission was not yet ac.
complished upon earth and that the
battle was only begun. 1t has been sug-
gested that what creates so much com
ment in her case is that it Is so unusal.
The usual thing is for drunken man to
smash heads Of women, and because of
the commonness Of such happenings we
think little about them But when a
sober woman smashes bottles and glasses
we think it something dreadful because
it happens so seldom.

the best things Of the kind that has oc-
cured in the city for long time, Mr..

in pittsburg, Pa, and his effort Friday
night showed him to be worthy of his
place, Like all others OF this class Of
lecturers he does not delve into the
depths of things to any great extent,
II he did the average audience would
not follow him, would become tired, and
say 1t was awlully dry, don't you know,
But the lecture was brim full of fine
sentiment, sparkling wit and beautiful
word pictures, Tears and laughter fol-
lowed each other in surprisingly close
order. II was treat and II Mr. King
comes again he will no doubt be greeted
with as good an audience as he was this

Fire At The Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle clothing house did
not open its doors on Monday morning
for business. But it had ample justif-
cation for so doing. At about eleven
o'clock or shortly before on Saturday
night fire broke out in the rear of the
store The alarm sounded and the
fire company was soon on the ground.
They first started in at the front door
and one OF the men got back to the mid.
die of the room, But the smoke was so
dense that they could not see anything
and so hot they could not stay So they
went around to the rear and started a
stream from hydrant near the Midland
hotel. 1t did not take very long then to
bring the fire under control. But it was
not until after the stock had been con-
siderably damaged, mainly from smoke
and water When seen Monday Mr.,
Hostutler said that they had not been
able to determine anything about the
amount of damage done, The origin of
the fire is thought 10 have been at the
electric meter, 1t is largely conjectural
but it seemed to have started in that
vicinity, and is the only way that can be
thought Of When they open again there
will no doubt be chance for bargins

to get rid OF them-unlold the bandage
once in ten days and kill them in anyway
you please and restore the bandage to
It's place, have killed as many as
lorty'hye OF these worms In one bandage
at one time. Hot water block Of
OF wood, mallet or most any thing will
do so YOU kill them, 1t is going to
take work and patience, But it is work
or no apples worth anything,
Now these suggestions come from my
own experience and observation. They
have not been taken from any work on
horticulture and may not be up to snuff
scientifically but | don't charge any
thing for them, And II they prove Of
no value they they will only be on par
with lots of other literature that costs
more.
Another thing, all Is not gold that
glitters in the orchard, OF course money
has been made, more than ever will be

But It has always been on land suited to
the purpose mostly near the river or

land away from any streams and have a
piece of land ready to plant apple trees
about the middle Of April, plant it in
corn and buy your apples, You will find

Residence Burned,

About nine o'clock Sunday morning
occurred the second fire of the week.
1t was at the residence of Charlie Col.
Inns on Second Avenue East. The
house was not large, only containing
four rooms, but it was a nice one and
finely furnished, The fire started in
the kitchen while the lady Of the house
was at one OF the neighbors, and is sup
posed to have caught from a gasoline
stove. In some way the fire depart.
ment got the number wrong, Second
West instead Of cast, and made a long
and useless run, so that when they ar
rived the house and furniture were about
all destroyed. Some valuable papers
were about all that was saved, the piano
and the rest of the furnishings being a
total loss with only little insurance,
