ShylOck Still FIourishing,

Nearly year has elapsed since the money-lenders' act came into opera tion-or, to speak by the card, was intended to come into operation. That it has failed, and failed egregiously. to fulfill the purposes for which it was passed can no longer be doubted. In practice the act neither prevents de- ception on the part of the usurer nor rescues his victim from oppression. And where Shylock has been himself unable to slip through the meshes of the net that was drawn around him, the authorities charged with the ad- ministration of the act have kindly cut a hole for his escape.-London Truth.

FEMININE EMERY.
Some of the New Trim mfnGs for Early Winter COstumes-The Latest
 in Hats.

Navy blue is used more than it has been recently, and a soft yet bright red with tints of yellow in it is att tractive.
 New trimmings are many. Irish lace is stylishly acceptable for any and every place where it can pos sibly be used, not only on gowns, but hats and fur garments as well.
 Silk escurial lace is another revival and appears as dress trimming in the colors of the materials upon which it is used. It looks very well very fashionable from pale biscuit to dark brown, says a fashion author ity.
 A new and handsome trimming employed chiefly for evening gowns consists of pompadour wreaths of roses. Then those who like spangles may indulge their fancy to the ex- tent of wearing spangled hosiery and gloves, for novelties in this line have made their appearance, and there are almost countless more sensible ways of using them.
 Two-toned colors appear in novelty ribbons, sage green on one side and turquoise on the other, representing one combination, black and red an- other. To the polka dot and coin velvet ribbons have now been added a twotoned variety, the satin lining being in lighter tint than the velvet. Cashmere and Persian colored rib bons are also used very extensively.
 Pretty shirt waists in shepherds plaid are seen with silk collar and cuffs, and there are very dainty eff fleets in gray and white, gray and black and red and white. Shirt waists of handsome striped Louisine silk are also seen, and usually show the delicate colors, such as pink and green, pale blue, green and white, or red, white and blue. They are made perfectly plain, with a few gathers at the neck in front, and fasten with hooks and eyes.
 Taffeta and velvet will be used for many of the new long coats this winter, and will be made warm by lambs wool interlining. Black and the dark, rich shades of red, blue and green will be the colors em- ployed. A handsome taffeta cloak seen recently was of the deep ruddy tint that was once called wine color, with kimono collar and cuffs of black satin.
 Many of the gowns by fashionable dressmal<ers have waists that open in the back and are perfectly straight in front, with a point. The skirt in many instances is put on the belt, with the back fullness confined in small box plaits flowing away from the waist. Art nouveau embroidery is frequently used and chenille also in delicate tints is applied in em- bordered designs.
 The popular tailored hat is charm ing for all ordinary wear, and is generally made of camel's-hair felt, draped over wire frame, and is fiat and broad in effect. The hat is seldom worn just as made, for the wearer bends it to suit her particu- lar type of face and style of hair dressing. Bending does not hurt it in the least. It is made with that in view. Velvet is much used for binding these hats, as we'll as for loops and bows.

IN THE HANDS OF AN EXPERT.
Lieut.. Godfrey l.. Garden, U. S. N., to Have Charge of the Ordnance\
 Exhibit at St. Louis.

St. Louis, Nov. 1.-An appointment made at the request of the Louisiana Purchase exposition company by the secretary of the treasury, is that of Lieut.. Godfrey l.. Garden, who is to serve at the head of the ordnance eX- hibit division. Lieut.. Garden, who is not stranger to St. Louis, has had an unusually distinguished career for man of his age. His parents were missionaries to Bangkok, Siam, when he was born, and in later years, when the family residence was in Califor- mia, the young man entered the naval academy at Annapolis. He received his commission in 1888. He served dur ing the Spanish-American war under Sampson, in connection with ord nance matters. He is authority on the subject, having written and lec- tured much about guns. Two years ago he delivered lecture before Ran- som post, G. AR, of St. Louis, on the Spanish-American war. At the Pan- American he was chosen superintend- ent of the ordnance exhibit, that be- ing the first time an attempt was made to collect a large exhibit of the products of factories devoted to the making of war munitions. Relative to his work, he says that the exhib- itors who made attractive displays at the Pan-American are all anxious to repeat the experiment at St. Louis in 1903 on much larger scale.

FOR UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

OF the many thousands of divorces
granted by the courts Of North Dakota
u majority IF them are invalid in the
other states of the union, for the reason
that the persons who were released from
coniugal responsibilities were not legal
residents of the state ut the time the
divorce was granted Such is "a decision
lately handed down by the Supreme
court of the United States, and the
effect of it il to make thousands Of
North Dakota Divorces who have been
remarked and who are living in states
outside of North Dakota, bigamists
There can be no getting away from this
serious and awkward fact.
Among those who were divorced by
the North Dakota court: was Mrs. James
G.. Blaine Jr., from her husband. She
afterwards married DR.. William Tilling-
hast Bull and her former husband is en-
gagged 10 daughter of AdmirallHicE-
born. Now young Blaine must again go
into court or break his engagement
The Bull Blaine marriage is invalid.
1t is curious to note that nearly every
person who has sought divorce in North
Dakota is member of that phase of
society known IN the Smart Set. 1t
would seem that these people set little
or no value upon "A marriage vow, but
