INFLUENCE OF CLOTHES.
Does Marriage Depend on the Char

From the Chicago Tribune.

do with marriages." repeated a fash
ionable Chicago dressmaker the other
day. II should say they did-a great
deal"
"As circumstances cut a great figure
in the career of men so fashions make
the greatest difference in the life his
tories of women. / need not tell you
how suddenly fashions change or how
the styles run first to one extremity
and then to the other. Women who,
dressed according to certain fashion,
appear beautiful. look decidedly plain
when dressed after some other style.
A woman's chances for a good mar
riage depend much on her appearance.
OF course, a. decidedly pretty girl will
look pretty in any sort of dress and
a rich girl never has any difficulty in
getting married. But the gfsat mass
of women who are neither rich nor
have faces of extraordinary beauty
may have their matrimonial chances
made or unmade by the fashions.
Men are more fascinated by ap-
pearances than anything else, and,
though they do not know it themselves.

of life partner by the fashions. Why,
a pretty girl who lives on the North
Side rushed into my house one day and
said: oh, congratulate me, and let me
thank you, too; / am engaged to be
married, and it was that last evening

had managed to capture middle-aged

charming gown, which softened her i'm
projections of figure and brought out
her complexion beautifully, and so the
man was enchanted.
There are seasons which I call tall
girls seasons. That is to say. the
fashions suit girls of good hight, but
DO not make the short women appear
at all we'll. This is where dresses are
worn full and have a tendency to make
short women look 'tubby' During the
prevalence of these seasons 1 notice
that many more tall girls than short
ones get married.

QUARRELS WITH BOY KING.
Pretty American Girl Upbraids Al
phonsO for His Snap shots.

Paris cable to the Chicago Chronicle.
King Alphonso of Spain recently
aroused the ire of Miss Colford, a pref
ty American girl, at San Sebastian by
repeatedly taking snap shots of her
while on the beach. Miss Colford, who
is reported to be we'll known in New
York society and who has just arrived
here from Pau, was promenading on
the beach with her aged French maid,
and the youthful monarch was also
taking a morning walk, accompanied
by Loriga, the military instructor AS
usual, Master Alphonso carried a cam
era slung over his shoulder, and every
time he passed the pretty American
girl he took snapshot at her.
Miss Colford for time was unaware
of this. When she discovered what the
lad was doing she became intensely
angry. At this time she had no idea
of the identity of her prosecutor She
rushed up to Alphonso just as he was
preparing to take another picture, seiz-
ed the camera and threw it upon the
ground, exclaiming: How dare you?"
Col. Loriga picked up the kodak and
placed himself between the King and
the excited American girl, saying in
English: Madame. this is the King of
Spain" "It makes no difference who
he is" retorted Miss Colford, angriiy.
This is the seventh time he has photo
graphed me. call that gross, insulting
insistence and 1 want him to know it,"
Tell her we thought her remarkably
pretty" put in the King. That's our
excuse. Beg her pardon and say that
after this the pictures shall not be de-
veloped." Miss Colford now began 70
apologize for her outburst, but the
royal boy evidently thought the con-
versation had lasted long enough, for
he turned his back upon Miss Colford
and walked away, leaving her under
the embarrassing gaze of the beach
promenaders.

CRUSHED UNDER CAR WHEELS.
4 Local Rniironder Meets Death in
the Alexandria Yards.

Kenneth B. Wilhoite, a brakeman of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
whose home is at 1l0S Virginia Avenue
southwest, was instantly killed at an
early hour this morning in the freight
yards of the road at Alexandria Both
legs were severed from his body and his
head was badly crushed, as twelve heavy
cars of freight passed over him. His
remains will probably be brought to this
city today, after an investigation of the
accident by the Virginia authorities.
1t appears that Wilhoite left this city
last night with a train made up here for
the South. He was braking or the freight
and whan the stop was made at AleXan-
dria, for additional cars to complete the
train, he went along a number of cars
toward the locomotive. Shortly before the
train was fully made up, Wilhoite was
seen standing on the top of a car, just
back of the engine, apparently adjusting
the brake, which was regulated by a
wheel. 1t was his duty to unset the
brakes as the train was ready to start,
and while so engaged. it is thought Will
hottie suddenly lost his balance. and fell
down between the front car and the ten
der of the locomotive. The heavy train
started with a jerk and twelve cars pass
ed over Wilhoites body before the acci-
dent was discovered.
The train was stopped for moment.
and trainmen made a search for the miss
ing brakeman. Then the mangled body of
Wilhoite was discovered. The remains
were lifted from the track and conveyed
on d stretcher TO the Alexandria hospital,
where he was attended by DR.. Smith. the
surgeon of the railroad company. The
physician pronounced life extinct, and the
body of Wilhoite was then rut in the
morgue.

MR.. Perrin GETS HIS DIVORCE.
The Defendant Loses Her Dover
Rights, But Rctnins Her Child

The bond of matrimony existing be-
tween Clifford Perrin and his wife, Mae
Clagett Perrin, was yesterday dissolved
by a decree signed by Justice Bradley,
presiding in Equity Court No. 2. The de-
cree further provides that all of Mrs
Perin's right of dover other marital
right 10 the real and personal property
of her husband is absolutely divested
from her.
In reference to the guardianship of the
minor child of the parties Margaret May

main permanently with her mother. Her
father however, is to be allowed the priv
ilege of having temporary custody of the
child at such times and places as Nelson
Perrin. a brother of Clifford Perrin, shall
see fit and determine.
Mr.. Perrin asked for a divorce from his
wife on the ground of desertion, and was

SUBURBAN CITIZENS MEET.
Residents of Takomn Park Talk
Over Local Affairs.

The Takoma Park Citizens Association
held it's regular meeting last night, and

Lieutenant Kenney, OF the Metropolitan
police force on the subject of policing the
suburbs.
A resolution referring to the extension

charging Of the expense Of this contem-
plated Improvement to the District, and
urged that Congress be requested to make

Considerable discussion followed, and
the resolution was not voted upon. A mo-
ton to lay on the table until the next

protest of Mr. Shoemaker who asked for
immediate action.

FOR THE POLICE CAPTAINCY.
A Dark Horse in the Department May
Win the Place.

It can be stated with a reasonable de-
gree of certainty that the rumor that has
been heard in police circles for some days
past regarding the appointment of a
civilian to the position of captain and
assistant superintendent of the police
force, to succeed Captain Austin is with
out foundation in fact, and that the next
occupant of the position will be selected
from among the officers of the depart
ment.
Although Major Sylvester is extremely
redcent regarding the prospective changes
he was sufficiently communicative yes
terday 10 effectualIy discredit the report
that his next assistant would be selected
from among the newspaper representa-
tives at headquarters. Major Sylvester
continued that whatever his own feelings
or intentions might be the law would pro-
hibit the appointment of a captain from
civil life. In support of this, he cited
sections and of the recent reOrganiza-
tion act, which reads:
sc. The officers of said force shall sew
orally be appointed by the Commission
ers. and each person so appointed shall
hold office during such time as he snail
faithfully observe and execute all the
rules and regulations of the Commission
ers and the laws and ordinances in force
in the District of Columbia.
-. All new appointments shall be made

cant shall have been certified to the Major

A petition for divorce was filed yester-

from balloons, and the money he earned
in that way, she declares, he spent in
drink and gambling. For some time

that she travelled about the country with
her husband and that no compelled her
