u to a Junk Dealer.

The police were advised yesterday after
noon that three boys who were acting sus-
piciously could be found under the bridge

two of them ran. The third was Walter
Wood, who was found in possession of
about two hundred pounds of railway

A delivery wagon belonging to Dill &

crushed between the vestibule, which was
almost torn of, and the body Of the car.
He was taken to this home and treated by
City Dispensary doctors. Several passen-

torman or driver to see any distance down
the intersecting street.

swear if it had not been for Chantonnay,
I would have troubled no more about the
matter; but as it was, seemed to hear that
low cackle of his; presentiment of evil
to come seized me, and without more ado
I spread out the kerchief and examined it
carefully.
1t was, as I have said, of lace. 1t was
scented with musk and in one corner
was an embroidered O, and nothing more
There was no crest, and l could make
nothing of it. Amidst the galaxy of fair
danes at the court, could think of no one
whose name bore this initial, and there
was crests to serve a pointer. Some
little bourgeoise, after ALL A vulgar in

lace in my pocket, and, picking up my lutte,
made my way to the Pavilion du Roy, with
Pompon at my heels
I was far from easy in my mind. This
affair of Lorgnacs was bad, and if dis
covered meant the scaffold for my friend.
There was yet another thing that moved
me powerfully, and perhaps those who
read may guess what it was. She is dead
and gone, and Lorgnac is gone but the
memory of a sweetness and grace, such
as the world has never seen, is still with
me. My queen, My queen!
And it was with a bitter heart that
1 sought the gay revels, SO bitter that

herds crook, flute, pipe and tambourine

ing the charm of these or the briliiancy
of those that have velvet rims and cut
steel or StraSS centers. Again We hear the
title Valois applied to these, and if gay
bit of brocade is used in the decoration of
a dark gown a set of brocade buttons COM
pletes the color study, without adding
greatly to the expense.
The tailors show a marked preference for
pierced silver buttons that are frank and
not costly copies of those worn century
and a half ago. When it is the case of a
smart morning walking travelling dress

a double row of silver buttons down the

Black ladies' cloth is used on the cuffs and

fastened with twelve pretty silver but
tons. At the top of the waistcoat green
silk tie, folded in the Regent knot, appears
and the rolled colonial toque of stitched
gray felt and green satin bands is decorated
with a big rear bow of green ribbon fasten-
ed with a steel buckle.
Among the toilet details that seem to re-
tain their hold on feminine fancy are the
back hair combs studded with turquoise or
solidly topped with a broad band of clear
turquoise blue enamel. Lower down on the
back hair, which, by the way, is as tempt

The Woman With Small Income,

The woman with a small income is be-
ginning at last to understand the law of
affinity and color in dress, and IL she is
wise she keeps to a simple style which
happens to be her own. By doing so she
brings in the virtue of Individual chic,
which in itself is quality almost inimita-
Bile and not to be purchased by gold.
The woman gazing dolefuIly at the bal
ance which threatens soon to be on the
wrong side of her bank book may yet
take heart of grace and go In for the
simple friezes and the inexpensive stufrs
To the country dresser friezes and tweeds
represent the modes of the moment
There are great many women who
never look well in what is known as the
real tailor made. and this class will bless
the return to the Russian blouse STYLE
which can look its best in heavy serge or
tweed properly weighted and pouching ever
so slightly back and front over a jeweled
band or simple fold of glace deftly swathed
round the figure. To a woman of slight
build there is no more becoming fashion.
and she may wear 1t with confidence AL
though the newest Paris modes only pouch
in front, the backs being mostly tight and
plain. with the exception of a very wide
pointed band at the back. 1t is here thai
individual taste may have full play. and
several smart models have the narrowest
possible belts.

another purpose to which it may more
strikingly be devoted, and that is to the
construction of Valois coat. The dress

of mild rage for everything of the VaIois

Furs are regal this year, the best wraps
being of three-quarter length, in sable,
mink, chinchilla, seal and ermine. while in
the world of lesser furs green seal, beaver
and otter and baby lamb are pressed into
service. The latter lends itself admirably
to the Russian blouse, which is going to re-
main with US.
Lace, again, IS to be used freely with

of white and pearl gray satin, though a
