French Canvas for Waists,

French canvas is being made up
extensively into shirt waists, a IA
vorite pattern consisting of stripes of
color separated with a hairline of
black. Mercerized cheviots, Oxford
shirtings and mercerized madras are
among the desirable fabrics for shirt
waists. For shirt waist suits linen
etamine is a favorite, as it develops
so smartly, while foulard is as popu-
lar as ever, for nothing is cooler or
more serviceable for hot weather.

Loose Jackets,


Some delightful loose Jackets suit
able for the louise and essentially
smart are being brought over from
Paris. It is difficult to describe them,
for no two are alike. They are after
the Elton order, insomuch that they do
not come below the waist, but though
some of them fit at the back. they
are all loose in front, and often fly
back SO that the lower points of the
front droop over the waisooand and

Brilliant Blue in Favor.

Beautiful, brilliant blue of the true
sapphire hue gains more and more in
favor. When it was introduced a
year or more ago womankind was
afraid of it, and only the most dar-
ing of the ultra-fashionables would
touch it at all. While an entire hat
of it may not be advisable, there's no
denying smart ostrich feather
caught to the side or back of a black
turban is tremendously effective.
Whole sapphire blue evening
dresses are especially admired by
fair ones poss essing valuable jewels
in the shape of sapphires. When the
body is of sapphire discrepancies it
must be admitted that the effect is

The Coming Width of Skirts,

The Coming Width of Skirts.
No one can lay down any rule for
the making and cut Of the skirts of
the immediate future, but everything
points to their being shorter and much
fuller. We are copying the idea Of
them from some Of the medieval
dresses, that were much gathered and
plated to within some inches below
the waist. Such skirts are generally
trimmed round with bands of some
contrasting material trimmed square
at the neck with lace, the sleeves
pulled from the gatherings on the
shoulder to above the wrist, where
there are more gathers; You can see
plenty Of these skirts just now on the
stage, where there are many ex.
amples of skirts which just touch the
ground.

The shooting followed a quarrel be-
tween Hoppe and Reckstein at the
rooms of the latter. Reckstein is said
to have struck Hoppe and the saloon
keeper then drew his revolver. He fired
twice at his antagonist without effect,
and as he fred the third time Mrs.

THEY HARDLY LIKE 1T.
The Pope's Sisters Are Not Entirely
Pleased With Rome.

Rome Sept S.-The three sisters of
Pope Plus X. who lived with him in
Venice and who arrived here yesterday,
have not found in Rome quite what
they expected. Not that they had any
formulated desires, but the sisters
thought they could not fail to be GER
tain of resuming their intimate rela-
lions with the pontiff. while to their un-
accustomed eyes all is formality. They
shrank from the curious glances cast at
them this morning when they went all
over Rome. The sisters, however, could
see no beauty in the ruins having
scarcely heard of them. What they
liked best were the electric street cars
and the new wide streets, so different
from the narrow lanes of Venice.
In the convent where the pope's sis
ters are stopping they are treated with
great respect and attention, having their
meals served in their own dining room
and not being allowed to do anything
for themselves.
Speaking of the vatican one of the
sisters said:
How big 1t is. Beppi should not feel
he is a prisoner, but how he can be
bothered with all these soldiers and Of
ficials we can not see."

FORTUNE INVOLVED
In Question of Date When Death of
an Heir Took Place

New York, Sept. S.-Disposition Of an
estate involving a large fortune depends
upon the date Of death of Arthur Beck
with, an artist, who belonged to a
prominent family of this city. He dis
appeared from the Sanford Hall asylum
at Flushing, Long Island in 1894, and
never has been heard of since.
Owing to complications between the
heirs and the state on the question of
the amount of the transfer tax, counsel
has instituted proceedings in the surro-
gate court to have the date of death
settled
The controversy also involves the es-
tate of Leonard Forbes Beckwith, his
brother, at one time chief engineer of
the subway commission. Both men were
declared to be incompetent and left large
proportional interests. Each inherited
estates of about half a million dollars
from their father. Leonard died in
testate in 1895.
According to the petition of the adj
ministrators of the estate of Arthur
Beckwith. he in 1890 escaped from an
asylum at Litchfield. Conn, and was
two years later discovered in Havana,
Cuba. living in squalor. He was in 1898
placed in the Sanford Hall asylum at
Flushing. pending proceedings begun in
January, 1894, to have him adjudged in
competent. He again escaped. In jan
uary, 1902, he was declared legally dead.
1t is now sought to have his death
placed before that of Leonard, in which
case the latter's heir will get most of
both fortunes.
