"You cannot possibly escape me-" he
said llstlessly, and with folded arms, as
she looked at him with disdainful defiance
in her glance. Il know you are beautiful
and I am poor; that you are wealthy
and l am homely; that you are good and
l am as bad as any one could imagine. Yet
as there is a really decent, deserving fell
low after you, and az we are characters in
a decadent novel, he shall be thrown over
and his heart shattered, and I shall win
you at the last. There is no help for it.
there is no help for it. I am the real
hero, though it is all a huge farce to me-"
Seeing the force of his logic, and wishing
to save the author a lot Of agony and
the readers a lot of suspense and hard
work, she surrendered, hateful as the task
appeared to her-Baltimore American.

This Seasons Umbrella Handles.

Umbrella handles this season are very
beautiful and very expensive. They come
in all kinds of new art designs worked out
in gold, silver, shaded enamel and gun
metal. The handsomest ones are to be
found at the jewelers. and come put up in
a case with the tips and ferrule to be
mounted to order. Studies in dancing girls
sea nymphs and flowers are carried out in
the metals mentioned.
A garlanded column forms the main piece
of an up-to-date handle, with girls figure
done in pale tinted enamels, the swirling
skirt being gracefully fashioned.
Ivory in several tints is the foundation
of the most expensive umbrella handle of
the season. Many of these are made SYM
bolic of popular sports, such as automo-
billing, hunting and golhng.
Brown is the Fashionable shade for UNI
brellas, with green pressing it hard. Red
and blue still favorites, but the durable
black is always to the fore when service is
in requisition.
The summer SunShade is perfectly gor-
geous. No other word expresses It's filmy
beauty and costliness. 1t is the ambition
of every woman to have a parasol made
expressly for her. and to further this end
all sorts of odd and lovely affairs are
made.
Orchids, represented in different shades
of mauve. are original also artichokes and
any flower one fancies. Even leather is
used as a material in some OF the more
substantial parasos, and they are ex-
tremely fetching.

Medical Science

admits that all sickness is caused bv
living germs or microbes, poisoning
and wasting the blood, the tissues
and the vital organs.
This theory of disease having been
accepted by every authority worthy
of respect, it follows that whatever
will kill the germ will cure the dis
ease of which it is the true cause.

Some New Neckwear.

Now that the Jackets are left open, wo-
men are paying more attention, If possible.
to neck dressing. Stoles In every conceiva-
Bile material are the fad Of the moment.
Chiffon. lace. net and silk, with all three
combined in many instances. go into the
makeup of these pretty and extravagant
beautiflers.
The new cisele panne which is panne
velvet marked with a hot metal point after
the style Of poker work. is made up into
graceful scarfs tied with jeweled pins and
the ends Of the scarf fringed with chenille.
OF course one is guided in the wearing
of neckwear according to the gown and the
occasion. With strictly tailor made frock
nothing Is more suitable than turned
down linen collar and butterfly or string
tie. Every woman Is a law unto herself
in this matter, but to be well dressed she
must give this phase of the art her care
full attention.

STYLISH COSTUMES.

the amateur must guard against-the max
ing ridiculous of the too sloping shoulder
effect. Lace pelerines are particularly
charming and can be made of several kinds
of laces even of different tones.
Speaking of lace, it adapts itself to all
sorts of conjuring tricks. The heavy yak
kind is dyed a deep butter tint, and Italian
peasant lace if put in a gray bath is mod
ish for gown of that shade. Every kind
of lace is lavishly used, and some of the
Plauen rivals the real in beauty of de-
sign and general finish. In fact there is
perfect rage for lace and for enamels
used as buttons, belt slides and pins.

Spring Dances.
Some very dainty frocks are shown for
the dancing parties which will round out
the fading spring season.
A rose gown has for its foundation pink
peau de cygne. with skirt yoke of point
de Venise and a gallon of the same outlining
the accordion-pleated founce. The decol-
iete bodice is outlined with lace bertha,
caught with garniture of roses. Depend
ing from the latter is fringe of ribbon,
studded with small pearls to simulate dew
drops. The sash is composed of ribbon
streamers, each ending in a half-blown
rose.
With this is carried boa composed of
ribbons, finished with chiffon. Forget-me-
nots are exceedingly popular for this use
A striking brunette is having poppy boa
made Tor wear with scarlet mousseline,
featherly field glasses being combined with
the poppy blossoms.
FrockS made from point d'esprit net and
ribbon are very pretty for afternoon func-
lions. The net is used in the form of gradu-
ated panels, haring around the foot of the
skirt and separated by strips of liberty taft
feta ribbon. Medallions are appliqued on
either the ribbon or the lace. Such a gown.
IN pure white over white silk needs

nate panels of pale green ribbon and net
with point de Venise medallions on the RIB
bon and pearl trimming, but the simpler
white effects give more delicate results
Etons With Capes.
Paris is showing some little marvels in
the way of collarless jackets. With a pale
gray broadcloth there comes a smart little
Elton, whose round cape collar and stole
ends are over!aid with IRISH crochet, out
lined with silk braid and finished with silk
fringe six inches deep. This is worn over
white silk bodice, with fan-shaped stock
of chiffon and lace, which is slipped outside
the Jacket and gives a final chic touch to
the costume.
A tan-colored etamine over silk has a
jaunty bolero jacket laid in box-pleats
caught with silken cord ornaments in a
deeper shade of wood color. The deep pei
crime is embroidered in self-tones and fin
ished with pendaloques to match the cord
ornaments in wood color. The stitched
g1rdle shows the deep wood tones and the
shaped cuffs, into which the bishop sleeves
are fulled. are embroidered in the tone OF
the cloth. With biscuit-coIored broad
cloth the pelerine is of guipure lace and
long lace pendaloques are used as orna-
ments.
Ponsee suits and coats have the stole fin
lsh on short Jackets. the stole being over
LAID with lace of rich applique.
