BRIDESMAID BONBoNNIERE.
Bags of Silk, TuIIe and Flowers
Filled With Candy.

New York, Feb. 21.-It is a peculiar
ity of the American woman that not
only does she consume more fine bon
bons than any other woman of any
other country, but that her taste in
sweets has created a large and valua-
BILE industry in the manufacture of ar
tistic and costly methods of packing
the sugar plums for sale. In England,
and everywhere on the continent, ex-
cept in Paris. a candy box is just a
plain white affair. stamped with the
makers name, or it is a stout, ugly
brown paper bag that lends little
charm to the heavy British or German
sweetmeat. 1t is a very bold or very
careless American swain who would
aare send his lady love a gift of candy
in this rough guise, and to the travel
ing foreigner it is matter of gasping
surprise to see the American man
cheerfully buy bonbonnieres at the
price of a silk hat and send it to
girl on whose heart he has no special
designs.
Nevertheless the American man
knows his business, his flattering habit
has induced all the prominent confec-
TONERS to open bonbonniere depart
ments in their shops, and if the pur-
chasers are particularly rich and gen.
erous they are Hospitality invited to

ly, graceful and eminently well corset

ingly pretty, coquettish and possess a
true genius for clothes who would dare
assume with any seriousness this posi-
itively childrke fashion.
Rose Wreathed Hats.
On the crest of the wave that is
bearing us toward spring weather are
rose wreathed hats in numbers that
defy compu tation. The muslin violet
has retired to the poetic shadow of
the green cotton leaf hedge, to mourn,
perhaps, over its lost popularity as a
millinery link between winter and
SPRING In her stead wreaths upon
wreaths of white roses reign. So far
back as in January hundreds of toques
and turbans, completely wrought Of
big white roses, nodded cheerfully
above storm collars of mink, sable and
Persian lamb, and every woman whose

Professional prophecy insists that
white roses, by the hundreds of doz-

touch of green foliage and few
graceful bows of black velvet ribbon
are all the ingredients required for the
smartest and most useful May head

Arthur, Nov. 1S.-The Bank OF Ar
thur, which is under the management
of Fred WINERY, was looted at 8
o'clock this morning by robbers. The
raid was successful one and. after
blowing up the safe with dynamite,
the robbers made way with $4,000 in
cash.
No one saw the craftsmen, but the
noise of the explosion was heard by
several citizens. At first it could not
be realized what had happened. but
the report soon gained circulation to
the effect that the bank had been rob-
bed. A posse was hastily organized
and search instituted, but so far no
clue has been obtained. 1t is possible
that clue may be afforded from a
report from Ida Grove, where un-
known parties were seen this morning.
There actions are said to have been
suspicious when they were seen at
Ia o'clock, one hour after the work at
this place was accomplished.
The safe is total wreck and Mr..
WINERY carried no insurance.
