cut with yoke, its line at the back marked
by strip of the fur. Where this fur
ended on the shoulders silk cord ornaments
were placed. Yoke and entire sleeves were
white chiffon. On the front of the gown
was its decided novelty. Fastened to the
yoke in the front was a strip of the white
cloth with Milanese lace insertion through
its entire length, which extended to the
bottom OF the skirt, thus creating a stole
effect. At the bottom ii was bordered with
a six-inch strip of ermine. In street dresses
the white material usually is less showily
trimmed. The first gown of the concluding
picture is illustrative. 1t was white cloth
and heavy cluny lace, with lace covered
buttons. Such a dress does not need SNOWY
trimming to be conspicuous on the street.

And 1t is no small factor in the furrier's
woes that many women have fixed their
minds on arrangements sure to turn out
so poorly that they will not reflect credit on

not to demand that the collar portion Of
her fur shall come away down to the waist
line, and TO become petalant at the truth

shorter and stouter. Yet women may be
excused for being a bit doubtful of the
furrier because Of the prices he charges
for making over. Many a serviceable fur
cannot be made over into stole form at less
cost than neck piece of equal size and
worth can be had new.

all stylish outdoor fabrics and colors, and
much variety is seen in the coats. In many
suits, and they're brand new ones, the
two-piece classification is inaccurate, since
a dressy waist matching the rest in ma
terials and trimmings is included. This
style, as first advanced, was an assault
upon the shirt waist. While failing ut

a good degree of stylish acceptance.

Art of the Hostess.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
A good hostess knows better than TO
invite her guests without discretion; in
fact at no social function is more tact re-
quired than in giving a dinner party. 1t
has been well said that in England the in
vitation to dinner is the hallmark of social
equality and the question of who should
go with whom is of more Importance than
What should go with what?" though bon
vivants may hold a contrary opinion.
To bid the Goody- Goodys, the Thick
heads and the Borehams to meet the Smart
STAIRS, the Lions and the Meteors would
be like trying to mix oil and water, and
would invite disaster and failure. The
former would no doubt be charmed to meet
the latter, but would the latter be equally
charmed? Though saints take q wonderful
amount Of interest in worldly folk, the
latter find it difficult to get up CORE
spending interest in the saints.
1t Is, of course. very amusing to be taken
in to dinner by wit, who has both the
ability and the inclination to make the
time pass pleasantly for one, but he is apt
to degenerate into nuisance IL, in the dis
play of his oratorical fireworks. he makes
too great and exacting demand upon
ones attention. 1t goes without saying
that a witty and brilliant conversationalist
is a delightful companion, pro tem.-that
is If one prefers the feast of reason and
the flow of soul to the exquisite plats and
chefs d'oeurve of an irreproachable chet-
but If, in listening to and absorbing the
epigrams and jeux d'esprit of one neign-
Dor, one fails to enjoy that perfect gal
antine de volatile aux truffes or the de-
licious asperges au parmesan, the mind is
fed at the expense of the body, and the
dinner is absolutely wasted.
Twelve or fourteen is favorite mum
Der for dinner party, but beware of the
fatal thirteen, for even If you are not super
stitious yourself, more OF your
guests is morally certain TO be, and as
none of our caterers undertake to supply a
fourteenth guest, a professional diner
out at the last moment whenever and
wherever required, as Is done In Paris, you
must guard against the possibility of such
contretemps occurring to mar the sue
cess of your petit diner. If you sit down
thirteen at table it is alleged that one of
the party will die within the year, the vic
tim being the one who is the first to leave
the table. OF course, this superstition is
known to everybody, but 1t is not as gen.
orally known that 1t arose in commemora-
ton of the Last Supper, Judas being the
fatal thirteenth who rose from his seat and
went before the others 1T has been said
that ten is a better number for a dinner
than twelve, and eight a better number
than ten. A "Partie Carree' is most en-
joyable provided you have the right peo-
pie.

CITY OF HELENA IN lNvOLUN-
TARY BANKRUPTCY.
COURT GRANTS INJUNCTION
Can Pay Necessary Expenses but May
Not Incur Additional
Indebtedness.

Helena, Nov. IA telling blow was
dealt the city this morning by the
supreme court in the water litigation.
The injunction applied for was
granted to the company, reversing
the decision of Judge Clements Of the
district court.
No city employee can be paid under
this order, the court virtually ruling
that the city is in involuntary bank
ruptcy until it has paid the company,
amounting to about 100000.
Judge Clements decided that the
city could pay necessary expenses,
but could not incur additional debts.
This was in line with previous de-
cisions on the question. Now the
higher court holds that the amount
due the water company is due, and
later debts cannot be legally paid.
The water fight now promises to be-
come a leading feature in municipal
affairs; the company apparently be-
ing determined to force the question
to some issue.

INSULT TO WIFE RESULTS IN
PUBLIC FIGHT.
MILLIONAIRE IS PUMMElED
Sensational Scene in Corridor of the
Planters Hotel at ST..
Louis.

ST., Louis, Nov. 11.-Col. M. c. Wet
smore, democratic politician, bosom
friend of w. J. Bryan, ex-president of
the Continental Tobacco company,
president of the Planters Hotel COM
pany, and multi-millionaire, was last
night soundly thrashed by Peter Ar
lund, a wealthy steel manufacturer
of Louisville, in the corridor of the
Planters hotel.
Arlund accused Wetmore of follow
ing Mrs. Arlund, a young and striking
ly beautiful woman, to her room and
insulting her. Wetmore denied the
angry husbands accusations, and re-
fused to apologize. So Infatuated
was Arlund that he assaulted the mil
lionaire in the presence of a hundred
spectators, including representatives
of all the local papers, who We're just
issuing from the dining room of the
Planters. where they were dined last
night by the hotel company.
Wetmore had been in the cafe to
supper. While he was eating Arlund
was pacing up and down in the corri-
dor in so agitated a fashion as to at
tract the attention of loungers in the
lobby. The moment Wetmore appear
ed Arlund confronted him, and, max
ing his denunciation and accusation
