front and half fitted back is favorte
of the season for young girls. as well
as for their elders, and means genuine
warmth as well as style. The May

rgOt His Horse.

A heavy-set German of the type
usually caricatured on the vaudeville
stage, walked putting and wildly paw
ing the air at La Sale and Madison
streets the other day and attracted no
end of attention by the queer figure he
cut. Finally he stopped short, wheeled
around, and looked about him with a
most perturbed expression of amaze
ment. The big policeman was a few
feet away and edged up to find out
what was the trouble.
What, golly!" burst out the little
fat man, as he paved the air more
wildly than before. II drove off mitout

The policeman stared at him as
though his eyes would jump from their
sockets and two or three bystanders.

waist. AS shown, the first is of vel,
vet, embroidered with steel and jet:
the second is OF taffeta, with an edge
of applique and revers of velvet. Both
are essentially charming garments
that are economical at the same time,
as few patterns serve so admirably in
remodeling last years gowns. The
large sleeves can always be cut down
and the body portion requires but
small pieces. yet with a simple waist
of mousseline or Liberty the jacket
will make the whole gown appear new
and up-to-date.
The sleeveless model is cut with
fronts and back only that are extend
ed over the shoulders to form epaul-
cites. At the front are arranged bias
bands by means of which 1t Is held in
place. The second model is also sim
pie and fitted by means of shoulder
and under-arm seams only, but Is
turned back at the fronts to form
small, tapering revers. The sleeves ara
one-seamed and slashed at the lower
edge. At the neck Is stock collar

Swoops DownInto Danbury and Catches
"a Dropped Rabbit on the Fly.
Like lightning from cloud a mon
stef bald-headed eagle flashed down in
a crowded street of Danbury, Conn,
and, seizing within two yards of the
ground a rabbit that had fallen from
its talons high in air, scared into the
sky again, before the hundreds who
saw could realize what had happened.
Persons on White street, one of the
principal business thoroughfares, got
their first warning of the fierce birds
nearness by hearing a shrill cry above
them, and then the whirr of wings.
Looking up. they saw a white rabbit
hundred feet or so from the earth, fall
ing through the air. Above it, with
wings half drawn in, cutting the air
like knife, came the eagle after its
prey, which had slipped from it's claws.
The rabbit had almost reached the
ground when the eagle overlook it and,
describing sharp circle and crying
in triumph, mounted into the air with
the rabbit fast in its talons.-New
