WOOIen Fabrics for Cold Weather
Costumes That VIII BE in Vogue
for the Winter.


Dressmakers are using shot vel
vets for the vests, revers, collars,
cuffs and girdles of their afternoon
gowns. These expensive additions
give a much better appearance to a
simple wOOlen toilet than it would
otherwise present. There are pat
termed velvets designed for the same
purpose also ribbed iridescent
weaves, the grounds sprinkled with
polka dots, cubes, lance figures, etc.,
in white, or else a darker color than
the foundation. Repped stuffs in silk
and wool, velours, cOrdurOys, and
other corded fabrics, whether in self
colors or shot, bid fair to be in great
vogue all winter, reports the New
York Post.
Rough-haired and rough-surfaced
dress fabrics have been laid in by
all dry goods merchants, zibeline TAX
ing prominent place. The newest
weaves of this material are silkier,
and have much longer hairs than the
zibelines of last year. The demand
for them, increases, but many women
prefer faced cloths. Though possibly
less effective in a way than zibeline.
they are more durable. Faced cloth
trimmed with stitching, braiding,
strappings, or appliques of white
cloth makes a very stylish costume
for autumn or winter wear. Braid
work done by hand or en- applique al
ways looks well on cloth. 1t is styl-
ish in appearance, and durable as
well. What is termed ''frogging"
adds materially to the fronts of out
door coats, jackets, and the like,
and this season there is a demand
for pendeloques, crocheted cords, tas-
sells, etc, in various designs.
A simple but stylish tailor cos
tune, easily copied, has a skirt of
sage green cloth with blouse etOn
jacket of green velvet with revers
faced with dark mink fur. The
jacket has a center back seam, and
the stitched curved belt heads a
short peplum which fastens to the
belt and not the jacket. Turn-back
cuffs finish the bishop sleeves. The

all around, with a double box plait
in front and two at the back. The
skirt has the fashionable slot seam
finish, and is edged at the hem with
five rows of machine stitching. The
vest is of tucked white silk, briar-
stitched in green silk, and fastened
with small gold and green enamel
buttons.
Strappings or lines of braid still
terminate on many new costumes in
tiny buckles or fancy buttons, and
smart Louis XIV. vests fasten with
the latter trimming. The really nee
essary button is small, but the one
for ornament only is considerably
larger. In these, as in gimps, clasps,
and buckles, gold, silver, and jeweled
designs outnumber all others.

"YOu had better not ask if you do
not know" was the colonePs reply.
But 1 feel it is only due to me, sir.
You demand it?" the colonel said,
angrily.
IF so you choose to cali it, demand
it, here and now"
Before my daughter?"
There is nothing am ashamed she
should know"
Then L will tell you--your father
was thief, sir! Is it to the son of a
thief you would have me marry my
daughter?''
For moment Harold could not re-
ply. He seemed to fail to grasp the
tull meaning of the colonePs words.
Then he cried suddenly: 1T is a
lie"
1T cannot be true, father" Grace
said, tears streaming down her face.
IF your mother has hidden the fact
from you L am not to blame" Col. Ash
ford said. IF she is still alive, ask
her."
1t is a lie," Harold said again. ST
do not believe it. And even so, am I
responsible for my fathers sin? Is
any son to be blamed and kicked for
his fathers crime? A crime which he
could not avert, in which he took no
part. Must he be as bad as his father?
1t isn't fair, it's outrageous. But I
tell you it is lie, SIR
What's bred in the bone, you
know, was the coIoneIs answer.
Harold could have felled him to the
ground, but he turned on his heel to
leave the room. At the door he faced
round.
You do not believe it, Grace?" he
asked half fearful as to what the an
swer would be.
"As 1 stand here 1 swear before God
1T is true" replied the colonel. 'My
child knows nothing"

''One of my first cases." said an
old Detroit lawyer as he smoked his
cigar the other evening, relates the
Free Press, ''bade fair to be a deli

a certain man who had gone to war
III one of our state regiments and
been killed in battle, waited a year

ber one was not killed as reported
but taken prisoner and held to the
end of the war. He came home TO

I expect you'll kick and raise

'Durn the lawyer!' interrupted
number two. This is a case for you

"'But amt you going to l1ick?'

thought 1 was marrying a sure

you are alive. 1t turns out that
you've come back. It also turns out

linued the lawyer, "and Bill was duly
put in possession of his own. l don't
think he was quite satisfied, though.

dropped into my Office and said:

Inc Judge sat In his private room be-
hind the court, awaiting the arrival of
his carriage to take him home. He had
had an exceptionally hard days work
and felt weary, and when the clerk of
the court asked him if he would see
a visitOr-a lady visitor-he felt in
little mood to grant the audience.
Il will see her in the morning" he
said.
"She says it's matter of life and
death, sir. In connection with the
young girl Spencer, who was sentenced
to months imprisonment this after
noon for theft. I think it's her
mother"
but 1 can do nothing now"
The clerk hesitated, and in the si-
lence the judge heard without the
sounds of woman's sobs.
"Oh, well, show here in. I'll see her
for five minutes. Let me know imme-
diately my carriage arrives.
The woman was ushered in. She was
dressed in black and wore heavy veil.
Presently the judge invited her to
be seated, and, taking a chair in the
shadow, she lifted her veil.
You wish to see me with reference
to Mary Spencer, believe" he said.
Yes" came the answer through her
tears. 81 am her mother. 1 don't
think our lawyer put the case right
for you. 1 am sure it was but an in
stance of kleptomania, your honor"
MY dear madam, 1 am sorry for you,
but can do nothing now," was the re-
ply. ''The punishment only fits the
crime, and it is no excuse that you are
rich people. A poor person would
have had to suffer just the same"
But she is only 20, your honor
pleaded the woman. think of the
disgrace"
Il can do nothing, madam"
The clerk knocked and entered.
Your carriage has arrived, your
honor" and he closed the door.
The judge rose.
81 am sorry, madam, but 1 can do
nothing" he repeated.
The woman left her seat.
''Not for me, Harold she cried, fall
ing on her knees.
He started back.
"Grace Ashford he cried in aston
ishment.
"Have mercy" she pleaded, ''if my
father"
"Broke my heart and killed my
mother" he continued, sit was not
your fault, 1 know, Mrs. Spencer, no
blame attaches to you"
Again the clerk entered.
"The carriage is waiting, sir" he
said.
Harold Penstone, old and gray at SO,
put on his hat and took his walking
stick.
"Good night" he said to the clerk.
See the lady into cab. 1 can do
nothing for her"
