pointed front effect are the most fav-
ored.
The woman who skates saves her
best footwear from being wrenched out
.of shape by having a pair of skates
permanently fastened to a strong pair
of neat shoes especially adapted to
that purpose.
Separate skirts Of all over lace with
an underskirt of silk to match or con-
trast in color are used for evening
wear. Those of black lace with de-
signs of rulings. founces, scrolls, etc,
made or narrow black satin ribbon are
particularly effective.
Handsewed kid gloves are among the
latest importations from England, and
ARE worn with walking suits.
The increasing use Of sashes with
the most elaborate gowns has led to
the making of many beautiful sash
pins. The most popular of these are
in the form Of oval miniatures.
A new idea in the form OF back comb
is one that has a slight curve in the
centre of each tooth. giving it firmer
hold on the hair than the ordinary
comb.
An effective touch is given to many
ready made silks waists by the addi-
ton of a few ornaments in silk APP

cially well adapted to this purpose.
The latest STYLES in cloth garments
show position backs and balloon
sleeves or long flowing sleeve effects.
Many of the lightest muslin costumes
are finished at the waist with a ribbon

trimmed with ribbon and the same
finish is used at the neck.
Holders by which the muff is sus-
pended around the neck are of silver
or gold link chain with. at short in
ltervals. jewels set in. Satmin ribbons
of short black or dark brown are also
used. and some are decorated with

Miners Agree to Wait Another Month
Before Acting on Scale.
The Operators We're Firm in Refus-
ing the Advance They
Demanded,
The CONFERENCE is NOW OVER

Mr.. William Fades has returned
from Central City, where he attended
the joint conference of mine operators
and workers that met there Monday
and did not reach anything like an
agreement until yesterday.
He stated that at the conferences the
miners had demanded the Indianap-
oils scale, which would be about 5
cents more ton on coal than the
present rate. The operators offered to
sign a CONTRACT paying the same scale
as during the present year. They
claimed that there was nothing to JUS
TRY any increase, and they would not
grant 1t, and it might as we'll be I'M
derstood at the start as later.
Both sides were firm, and after be-
ing in session about three weeks ago
in Louisville for several days the con-
ference adjourned to meet at Central
City this week. Nothing could be
done to adjust the differences then,
and the miners, it is claimed, saw that
they could not carry their point, and
do not desire to either back down or
strike, so they asked for. months
time in which to further consider the
offer of the operators, and it was
granted. In the meantime the mines
in Southwest Kentucky will be worked
at the old scale, and on April 2S there
will be another conference at Contra
City for final settlement. Operators
regard the action of the miners al
virtual backdown, and anticipat'
that next month they will all sign n
at the old scale, and this will insur
no further trouble for at least year
