pens, the meeting of City Council to-
morrow night will be a rather dull one.
After the meeting, however, the alder
men will have their hands full going

The only new petition that has been
filed for the consideration of Council
is one asking that an electric light be
placed at the juncture of Jones and
Aberconr streets. Complaint is made
that this is a particularly dark corner,
and that a light is badly needed.
Quite a number of applications for

yond this, there will be but little for
the aldermen to do unless something

over her head, Lizzie Harris, a negro
woman well known to the police, de-
termined to avoid arrest, if possible,
and put up a vicious fight with Cen

A negro named Robert Edwards COM

man had relieved him of his satchel
and $2.99 in cash. He declared that
she picked him up on the West Side,

1t is the modish thing this year Tor
all those happily married couples who
wish to celebrate their fifth anniver-
sary to announce a pewter instead OF
wooden wedding. announces the
Washington Star. Wooden weddings
are invariably farcical, and from the
point of view of the couple that cele-
brates distinctly Improbable, while, by
substituting pewter, the purses OF the
gift-giving guests are not oYer-strained
and the recipients acquire useful and
ornamental objects of distinct artistic
value. This fashion was set on it's
feet by a lively young wife who had
see the new Tudric pewter and earn
estly coveted the possession OF some
GOOD pieces. She and her husband are
enthusiastic pewter collectors, ana
while the pewter of Tudric make is not
antique nor expensive, it is distinctly
beautiful in design, and is wrought into
household goods that grow in daily
value by reason of their utility and
decorative charm.
In this particular type of pewter
nothing flimsy or false, in material
or design. is permitted, and every arti-
Gle is as carefully hall marked and reg
istered as the finest sterling silver. IL
is not a pewter of very white lustre nor
capable of receiving a polish that simu-
lates silver. The color of the antique
Dutch and English composition has
been studied and secured and while in
tn designing many good old forms lave
been retained, the cups and platters are
invariably treated with special decOra-
ton that can be only described as
T'udric. A piece of good Tudric is al
WAYS a special piece, hand wrought Oy
a skilled and original artist, and dis
tinguished everywhere by its wise and
graceful departure from the art nOveau
movement that has been so vulgarized
as well as by the judicious use OF
strange decoration with colored stones
The highly colored Connemara stones
are sunk en- cabachon in the skin OF
the pewter. where unerring taste sug-
gests the application; and these, with
Scotch pebbles. bits of highly polished

touches Of enamel is all the color treat

For the Summer FrOck

Muslin frocks for midsummer wear,

sorts, are now under way, and as in
every other descriptions Of gowns, there
are many different styles to choose
from Silk muslin-not, be it under

Bingham are popular fabrics, very soft
as to finish, and to be mad in the
daintiest of colorings. Gray is charm
ing in either of these materials, with
small irregular figures of black or
white, and with lines of black or white.
An attractive gown is made of a gray
and white silk gingham, with skirt
trimmed down the front with three
bands of white Irish point, Through the
edges of which are run narrow black
velvet ribbons. The waist, made with
fitted and boned lining, has a pointed
tucked front Of white batiste, which
shows between the surplice folds of the
bingham, finished with bands Of the
lace and the narrow black velvet rib
bon. The sleeves are finished with
large puffs gathered in at the wrists
under a band OF the lace
Oddly enough, most of the wash mus
Inns and ginghams are made on quite
severe lines, and do not have much
thinning of lace or embroidery, and il
is evidently expected that this particu-
lar description Of gown shall serve in
place of the tailor gown Of wool or mo-
hair for morning wear or for days
shopping in town.
For afternoon or for more formal Oc-
casions, or for Newport or any fash
ionable summer resort, this plain style
of gown would be inappropriate ant
There is Just as much, if not more, elab'
crate trimming required on all the

importations are to be seen more o

to fasten in the back, and waist an'

There is no lining, but the gowns mus
always be worn over a princess sill

fashion are especially smart, and tn

are finished with one deep circula
