being finished with a collar band of
embroidered lawn, and a stock tie OF
black glace silk, and finally crowned
by jaunty felt hat, where the black
and white effect is repeated by clev-
erly grouped wings.
One of the two pictured is of white
crepe de chine with ivory-tinted gui-
pure lace deftly manipulated into bo-
lero form on the tucked and pouched
bodice and threaded through with a
scarf of filmy black lace, which is
drawn into a long-ended bow IN
front. The sleeves, too, can boast OF
the decorative presence OF other
scarves and bows of black lace, and
at the back of the bodice the jaunty
little coat tails show the effective
contrast of black lace medallions
applique on the white lace, while
above them cabochon centers OF jet
CLEAN out from the hower-llke ro-
settles of white satin, finishing off the
waistband. The skirt, whose tucks
follow faithfully the graceful curves
| of the figure, has an applique or
guipure in design of clusters OF
grapes to trim the deep-tucked
| founce.
Soft white chiffon and lovely vel
lowish lace combine to produce the
altogether novel effect in another
which you can study in the illustra-
ton, noting how cunningly the lace
is introduced to form curved corse-
let on the bodice, and then continued
as a panel ON the front of the skirt,
and at the back TO sweep out into
long sash ends, over the deeply van
dyked points of the plisse chiffon
with their applique edging of lace.

Paris, or to our own Amer
lean designers. But London still pro-
vides us with some of our more elab-
crate toilettes, and there is one cos
tuner in New York who makes it a
point to import number of London
models each season. In speaking of
this fact to him a few days ago, he
said he found it paid him for two
reasons. First, because London de-
signers really produced some excel
lent examples of fashionable modes
which were in no way copies of those
from Paris. Second, because there
were a certain percentage of Ameri-
cans who courted the favor of the
English nobility, and with this ele-
ment of our society folk English de-
signed gowns were popular.
Among the Aodels which he is
showing this fall are three or four
taken from the gowns of Miss Ellis
Jeffreys and Miss Marie Tempest,
who are just now the favorites of
the English theater-going public,
winning a remarkable success in 1.-The
Marriage of Kitty"
One of these models is a dress OF
black and white checked silk with
skirt cut to clear the ground all
round and display pair OF high
beeled, silver-buckled shoes, and the
swirl of an inner founcing of black
silk, the plated Norfolk bodice,
where a jaunty little basque asserts
itself below q trim black waistbelt,

pCrtance was the relief Of Kimberley.
General French, the dashing cavalry
commander, was detailed to the task.
AMI with strong force marched for
the beleaguered town. On his approach
the Beers abandoned their positions,
not even Offering battle, and the town
was relieved Feb. 10, 1900.
This was the first piece Of good for
tune for the British army. 1t was fol-
lowed by a battle with General Cronje
who, with 1900 men and number OF
guns. was forced to surrender on Feb.
y. The entire lot of BOer prisoners
was deported to the island of st.
| Helena.
Or Feb. 90, 1900, General Butler,
after overcoming a stubborn resist
ance. succeeded in relieving Lady
smith. Then followed the surrender
Of Boemfontein. On March q the
Beers suffered an irreparable loss in
the death Of their ommander-in-chief,
General Joubart. They were driven
from point to point and finally, on
June 5, Pretoria surrendered, followed
some seven weeks later by the sur
render Of General PrinslO9 with 1850
men.
President Kruger had meanwhile be-
come a fugitive. He left the capital
by stealth and made his way to Dur
ban, where he secured passage on Il
French vessel for Maisellles.
Sept the Transvad was declared
Jy proclamation annexed to the Brit
ish empire and Lord Roberts, deeming
his work accomplished, started back
to England, setting sail Dec. II, leav-
ing General Kitchener In supreme com.
mand.
The year 1901 was not marked by
any especially noteworthy events. The
Beers kept up desultory guerrilla war
fare, attacking small parties of British
soldiers wherever found. General
Botha was nOminally Ia chief COM
mand, but most Of the fighting was
done by General Christian De Wet and
General Delarey, both Of whom kept
the British forces In hot water most
Of the time. Time after time De Wet
was reported to be securely entrapped,
but he always managed to escape cap
ture.
The most notable events Of recent
date were the capture by the British
Of General Schoeppers, who was badly
wounded. He was tried by a military
court on the charge Of violating the
