THE TAAL DIALECT

the Taal they have been simplified almost as
in English. Perhaps the next point is hardly
so good: the TaaI has abandoned all distinc-

should say In English: l is. thou is, he IS, we is
you is they is This language also en-

double negative came in through contact with
the French HuguenOt settlers. 1t seems more
likely that il came in as il comes to the man
in the street. through pure vulgarity and ignor-
ance: Il don't want nothing to do with it.
The Dutch have the Scotch fashion OF using
dminutives for every noun thus, for example,
bookie ClOCkie. birdie. are daily represented IN
the Taal as boekje orlosje. vogentte. The most

TIE sHIRTWAIsT SUIT.

The shirt waist suit, which was
found so convenient during the sum
mer, is among the smartest of autumn
modes. We see it developed in the
soft wool materials, trimmed with
braid, bias bands or silk or satin, or
with buttons, or with all. There is real
ly no limit to- the various embellish-
ments which may be applied to gown
this year and elaboration seems to be
the keynote of fashions. The dainty
and tiny black and white checks which
were so fashionable in taffeta are still
to hold sway in plaids, and shirt waist
suites designed of these materials will
be laid in box plaits as regards both
blouse and skirt and the pipings will
he carried out in red and dull green.
Other quieter designs are simply stitch
ed with blacks, and if further decofa-
tion is desired. buttons may be added.
A regrettable feature of new fall
fashions is the omission of the drop
skirt. Ever since it's first appearance
there have been those who have made
one drop skirt answer the fundamental
purpose of several over dresses, and now
that it is to be discarded it will be-
sorely missed.
There will be some compensation,
however, another dainty feature of
dIess-the hip yoke. Not that this is
new by any means, for there have been
yoked-frocks for two seasons past, but
never before have they been so novel
as this season. They are to be cut in
all sorts of fancifu shapes and de-
scribe the most elaborate patterns.
Then there will be rows and rows of
rich little buttons sewn around the
lower edge to given them a distin-
guished appearance and taken all in
all the new Jokes can be Tegarded as
a novelty.

WON'T HAVE NEW TRIAL.
The Groves Case VIII Go to the SUI
preme Court.

The Groves Case VIII Go to the SUI
preme Court.
A motion for a new trial in the case
of w. c.. Groves, convicted of an at
tempt to commit robbery by force up
on Frank Dieter, was yesterday de-
MED by Judge Barrow. There were a
number of grounds of appeal, among
them being the general one that the
evidence for the state was not suffi-
cient to support the verdict Other
grounds were based upon alleged err
rors in the charge of the court.
The motion was presented and arr
Macon, and r. l.. Colding. Judge
Barrow promptly overruled the mo-
ton.
In addition to the motion Mr.. Coop
er had also a request for a reduction
in the amount of the bond fixed for
Groves, who is now in Jail. The bond
is now at $4,000, and Mr.. Cooper. who
at first wanted to have it reduced to
81, 900, thought afterwards he could ar
range to secure it If it were fixed at
81, 500
On this subject Judge Barrow said
he would hear from G. r. & j. F. Cam,
counsel for the prosecutor. Counsel
would not consent to a reduction In
the bond. which Mr.. J. F. Cam said
he considered now little enough.
Groves was sentenced to pay a fine of
81, 900 and costs, serve six months in
jail and twelve months on the chain
gang, and Mr.. Cam pointed out that
any very great reduction in the
amount of the bond would offer Groves
too great an inducement to skip the
country.
The effort to give bail will be con-
tinued, and it is probable that in the
course of a few days Groves will be
given his liberty. 1t will be only, how
ever. after he has given bond in the
amount originally fixed by the court.
