whose high, long-sleeved cuts are made
more festive by the elegance of accompany
ing details-the hair ornament, a tiny
spangled or painted fan, and immaculate
gloves.
SILK Bags
Many huge silk bags are carried, some OF
which, with their superbly worked silk
and brilliant c%olors, would make the plain
est toilets gay. The newest models in
these are in chatelaine design, with hand
some gilt and silver trimmings, often gem
set. The ostensible purpose of the bag is
to hold the libretto, fan, handkerchief,
glasses and smelling salts. The incidental
object is distinctly identifying.
Some women make a fad of this fashion.
One night the bag is of pompadour EN-
broideries and cut-steel beads; another
time 1t is Of lace lined will white silk,
and again 1t is of the same material as
the wearer's gown.
Some very plain cloaks Of white cloth,
seen both at the theater and opera, are
worthy of detailed description. One OF
these may be owned by any woman who is
not an absolute pauper. and she has only
to visit a good playhouse once to see that
white evening wraps are the rage OF the
hour.
A stunning white cloth model is in loose
sacque shape, with bell sleeves and a
shaped skirt lounce. The rest of tbs
trimming is confined to the shoulders, ovel
which drops a deep cape edged with 4
hounce Of killed chiffon. Above this is
narrow line OF brown fur and above that
dep border Of guipure grapes.
Many quite simple capes and coats II
pale-tinted cloths are seen, with stitchet
bands and caracul Innings. These warn
fur doublings in the unsewed state can b
had for SIS, so that an elegant wrap ma
be secured for the comparatively small
sum OF $50. For the woman who can af
ford something more lavish, a quaint cloa
in pale gray cloth has telling graees. Tn
loose model Of this is almost skirt length
A scarf OF gray chiffon and epaulette
Of white Irish point make the shoulder

bands people, no help was to be looked for
from that quarter. and the chance dis
covery, through a friend. that her husband
had written to his father from Seattle.
where he was living with his daughter, was
the first light she had on the subject. But
Seattle was at the other end of the CONT
nent and poverty barred the way.
To satisfy herself that her information
had been correct she wrote to the adjutant
Of the Salvation Army in Seattle, stating
her case and asking help TO ascertain the
Whereabouts Of her child. In a few weeks
the answer came that Josephine had been
found in the home Of a Mrs. CONN in Seat
tie. The photograph sent by her mother
had served to identify her. From that mo-
ment the determined woman set herself to
save the necessary money to travel out
west. 1t cost two long years of toll, but
she never faltered.
When she had saved 5000 she started
west. She kept her secret well. Through
out those weary months she shared her
project with none. Those who knew her
best thought she had abandoned hope Of
ever seeing her child again. Her hus-
bands relatives were lulled into security
and her departure, ostensibly on a trip to
visit friends in New York and Brooklyn,
aroused no suspicion.
Arrived in Seattle, she registered under
an assumed name and began inquiries.
Through the Salvation army she had
Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-14

learned that Josephine had been trans
ferred to the village of Dunlap, a short
distance from the city proper. She took
the trolley for the little settlement and
Just as the car was drawing to its destina-
tion caught sight Of a group of school
children liberated for recess. In an in
slant she started to her feet with an ire
pressible cry. and, dashing like a mad
woman to the door, leaped from the car
before the astounded conductor could pull
the bell. She had seen the child she had
come so far to seek. Grown taller, pref
tier, older, but unmistakably her josephine.
AS the mother ran to the school yard the
bell recalling the children sounded. The
woman called her child's name. Josephine
turned, recognized her mother, and, rush
ing into her arms, burst into tears.
At this instant a city-bound car came
along. Mrs. Stiles boarded it with the little
girl and in town took her to a clothing

hotel she started on her homeward way

In fact there is a fad for telephonlng
messages Of this sort nowadays. When 1t
first gained entrance to residences the tele-
phone was intended as a means of communl-
cation between a mans Office and his home
chiefly; then It began to be used for the
ordering Of cabs, for marketing, for hurry
ing up slow tradesmen and the various uses
connected With housekeeping.
BY degrees friends began to make use Of
the quick method Of communicating with
each other, and IL was so delightfully."- in
formal that 1t became a vogue. OF course,
old-fashioned persons regarded with horror
the idea Of transmitting messages Of a
social nature in this way. but the age is in
such a hurry that the time-saving method
has grown to be accepted as quite the
proper thing.
The informality OF the telephone method
Of communication is what appeals to the
younger generation of society. An invita-

novel touches.
