which droops over the shoulders in
cape fashion.
All the smaller yet now essential
dress accessories are very pretty, and
much skill is expended on their man
ufacture. Narrow collar and cuff
bands are made of lace or finely en-
broidered muslin, and used to deco
rate cotton and silk blouses. These
trifies are easily fashioned by the
home worker, as well as embroidered
waist belts and sashes. There is also
ample scope for the artist to achieve
beautiful decorative effects in the
painting of satin, nSlslin, chiffon and
lace.
Transparent lace yokes and collars
are worn. These should be lined al
ways with white chiffon, as it makes
the skin look whittier, and also affords
more perfection from the too ardent
attentions of King Sol. Dress collars
are generally soft and dainty look
ing, or, more often than not, are con-
spicuous by their absence.
Silk petticoats have deep fQunces
of muslin and lace made to button on,
so that they are easily removed for
the laundress. The petticoat worn
should, if possible, tone with the pre-
dominating color in hat or costume.
For instance, pale blue hat,
trimmed with black, and costume Gf
the two colorings, would be worn
with n pale blue underskirt. Thus
one could have founces of different
,,l,rS tn Fo on n tho CD1pa IIDDnr
skirt.
Cream lace wells are In mode worn
either as veil pure and simple or
draped careIessly round the brim of
the hat to end in cachepeigne droop-
ing over the hair. The smartest
sailor hats have cream lace wells
draped on the brim.

which they inquired if l could make it
convenient to call upon them at the
head office that day. TO tell the truth,
J. had been expecting this summons for
! nearly a week, and was far from be-
ing displeased when it came. The
work | had expected them to offer me
was after my own heart, and if they
would only trust the business to me
and give me a free hand, l was pre-
pared on my part to bring the missing
gentlemen to justice.
Needless to say, | called upon them
at the hour specified, and after brief
wait was conducted to the board room,
where the directors sat in solemn con-
clave.
The chairman, Sir Walter Brace
bridge, received me on behalf of his
colleagues.

to bring the affair to successful ter

the case carefully in my mind, and at

Shortly after Nat Brigham was made

Salt Lake, April 4.-Clyde Felt. he
l5-year-old boy who yesterday stated
he had concealed the body of Samuel
Collins, the aged Waterman of the
Wasataka mines at Warm Springs,
after the latter had committed suicide.
today broke down and confessed that
me cut the old mans throat in little
cave above Warm Springs. stripped
the body of clothing and. after walling
up the entrance with stone, had buried
the blooo-stained clothing. Young Felt
said he cut Collins throat only after
long urging by the old man, who in
sisted that he wanted to die and was
afraid to commit the deed himself.
From statements made by other boys
in the neighborhooG of the tragedy,
however, the police believe young
Felt's story has not been half told and
behind the tragedy is tale of moral
degeneracy and conspiracy among a
number of young boys in the old mans
power which finally eliminated in Col
Inns death. A number of arrests will
probably be made before night.
