Illustrating a compromise Of what is
meant by the "eellike" or clinging effect
in dress. according to fashions latest die
tates, Miss Maud Stanley, who was stay
ing at the Planters Hotel last week as a
member OF "a Chinese Honeymoon" COM
pany, wore a costume of the latest mode,
In addition to admiration, it excites specu-
lation.
How many women in st. Louis and the
West will obey a foreign mandate by
wearing dresses to produce the willowy
lines is a question bothering the modistes.
This week The clinging style of clothes
will be discussed by convention of dress
makers at the Lindell Hotel. 1t has been
egitated since the recent fashion show in
New York.
According to managers of local estab-
lishments where women's gowns are made
or sold. woman may resemble an eel or
billow. Just rs she chooses; or, rather.
as her figure warrants. The styles, they
say, will lie of two extremes.
A thin woman in a tight-fitting, sinuous
skirt is left to ones imagination. News
paper cartoons tell the story And a fat
woman may iook-well. she also may not
| look well In the melted-and-poured-in kind
of raiment.
The possessors of antipodal figures take
hope in the fact that loose blouses and
| skirts of the period Of 1890 have been re-
vived in Paris and have reached St. Louis.
They afford a compromise sufficient to
| shield with an Interrogation point the
architecture of any wearer.
But what of the woman IN the clinging
clothes-the "eel effect?

was walking north on the bridge when
the negro approached.
In the negro's hand was a pair OF brass

came alongside of Milk. Apparently

from the bridge, the negro thrust his hand
into his inside pocket, evidently to draw

ing to East st. Louis when he noticed

Diamonds and pearl valued at 1886
and 500 in cash were stolen between
tuesday and Friday evenings from the
home OF Alexander Niedringhaus. No.
4iO9 West Pine boulevard. The police are
searching for Hayes Bonner, Mr. Med
ringhaus's butler
Il don't like to have this published for
my friends will joke me about it," de-
clared Mr.. Niedrlnghaus In discussing the
theft yesterday at the Four Courts.
The jewelry belong to Mrs, Niedring-
haus. One OF the diamond rings was her
wedding ring. and the star and crescent
which were among the stolen articles
were heirlooms
times thought she had better give her
diamonds away or some person would
steal them. l do not care for jewelry
myself but since the robbery I am going
to$io all 1 can to rocever it."
Mrs. Niedringhaus last wore her dia-
monds on Tuesday night. Upon return
ing home she locked them in a jewel
chest, to which she alone has key. She
secreted the key In its usual hiding place
and did not have occasion to look at her
diamonds again until Friday night.
Opening the Jewel chest before going to
the theater Friday night. Mrs. Niedring-
haus was startled tcasla6 the Jewels miss
ing. and only a few trinkets Of small
value left in the drawer.
Mr.. Niedringhaus was informed Of the
disappearance of the Jewels. and he noti-
fed Night Chief of Police Gillaspy.
BUTLER IS MISSING.
Bonner, Mr. Niedringhauss butler, was
not at the house when the detectives
called He returned yesterday morning
before Mr.. Niedringhaus was up and
opened the stable and basement. The but
Ter failed to clean the mud gathered from
the Worlds Fair grounds on Mr.. Niedring-
haus's shoes, as was his custom. and his
employer was angry when he discovered
the buffers neglect
Mr. Niedringhaus went to the stable to
see why Bonner had not cleaned his shoes.
Bonner was not there. The disappearance
OF the butler was then reported to the
police, but the search for him thus far
has been unavailing.
1t is not known just when the diamonds
were taken, but Mr.. Niedringhaus believes
they were stolen Friday.
Mr. Niedringhaus has found that key
to one of the dressers in the house Is miss
ing. and that the key to Mrs. Niedring-
haus's Jewel casket fits this dresser. 1t is
believed that the dresser key was used to
open the jewel case.
Bonner has been employed by Mr.. Me
dringhaus for three years. AS the jewel
chest was always kept in Mrs. Niedring-
haus's sleeping apartment. it is believed
the diamonds were stolen in the daytime.
Two negroes who had been companions
of Bonner were arrested and taken TO the
Eighth District Station. but they satisfied
Captain Joyce that they were not i'm
plicated in the theft and were released.
Mr. Niedringhaus declared yesterday
afternoon that because of one of the rings
being a wedding ring and that other ar
ticles were heirlooms. his wife valued
them for more than their intrinsic worth
and that he would willingly pay a hand
some reward for the return OF the jewels
on that account.
Mr.. Niedrinhaus is president Of the st.
Louis Press Brick Company.

This was partly answered by Miss STAN
ley, who was declared to be the handsom-
est bridesmaid" in the pretty cluster Of
'honeymooners' at the Olympic Theater
when it closed last night.
Miss Stanley wore a gown from the
Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney Dry
Goods Company. which the managers OF
that house declare to be the most correct
type.
The effect is not found in the bust,
waist or sleeves The folds there are In
tended to be of a fullness to produce
grace. From the waist the gown takes on
serpentine contours. The fullness above.
however, is in mathematical proportion,
and on a thin figure the lines might sug-
gest an eel.
This particular gown worn by Miss
Stanley. who may be said to typify the
feminine form divine, is all cut in one
piece, in this respect being a departure
from the styles of last season. 1t con-
forms to the Princess mode, made of
crepe de Chine, with deep cuffs. full
sleeves and broad lace collar.
The clinging effect is in the skirt, the
waist of which Is shirred, and is made
over a silk drop skirt, fiared out from
the knees. A wealth of lace is set in the
material.
In the opinion Of Miss Stanley men have
been facetious at the expense of the cling
irg style of dresses. She shows that GER
tain women may wear such costumes with
utmost grace, and other women may find
other correct styles to suit them perfect
