be worn by every one. We refer to the
beautiful lace scarf, wide and long, very
like the kind worn by our grand
mothers.
The wearing of a scarf is an art, and
had better be omitted altogether unless
one learns how to dispose it gracefully,
how to carry it. The difficulty is SINH
lar to the wearing of shawl; this per-
son looks like an old woman the mo-
ment she places shawl or scarf on her
shoulders: that one looks graceful, cap
tiyating. Then who is it, and who is it
not that can wear shawl and scarf?
Each must find out for herself, but we
should say plump shoulders and full
chest requisite.
The scarf is of lace, of null, of en-
broidered crepe, of soft silk; and happy
she who has one of the really old2an
heirloom. It would be we'll to consult
grand mother and great-aunt, to hunt
in attic and long locked up hair-cloth
trunk, for though the stores are show
ing beautiful ones of modern make, the
old-fashioned ones bear the mark of
gentility, and the creamy "old' look so
very desirable.
If one is hesitating about what to get
for stock and belt this fall, word in
regard to the shaded ribbons may be OF
help. Two yards of six-inch ribbon for
the neck snd just enough for the belt to
make a narrow crushed band; for the
stock, pass the ribbon around twice and
tie in a very wide, butterfy-ey bow at
the throat Soft liberty satin is ex-
pensive, and the very thin, soft taffeta,
which is much cheaper, answers the
purpose quite as well.
Ribbons are very much used, and as
ribbon, like lace and jewelry, is prop
erty, the fashion Is good, economical
one. Velvet ribbon appears as trim
ming in various ways, and usually is
very becoming and pretty.

Besides the close three-quarters

ticle in reference to the case of DR..
w. F. Mcdonald VS.. Hammond & Bak-
er and the statements therein made al
legged III the petition filed We're false in
every particular. In the first place,
the office building of Hammond & Bak-

which may have been warm sufficient
without fire some mornings and even

no fault OF Hammond & Baker and
they were in no way bound for any de-
feet in heating apparatus il such had
been the case.
Second. that all talk about the ele-
vator not being operated according to
contract. is nonsense as every one will
remember this has been a year OF
floods and nearly every elevator in
the city was stopped more or less as
result of it, and the elevator in the
Hammond Office block ran as well as
any other in the city during said time.

What the Ordinance Says.

Accoraing to the city's ordinances
the charge of larceny can not be prov
en- against a person who picks up a
fowl or other wandering beast on the
highway, providing the animal is not
kept over twenty-four hours. The or
dinances state that it is the duty of
the citizen to see that the animal is
impounded and as there is no section
in the ordinance relative to this mat
ter stating that the finder of the bird
or beast must take short cut for the
police station, Mr.. Fallon's state
ment that he was on the way to the
police station is most plausible.
