At the Dewey theater, New York, last night, Harvey Parker, who is the wrestling star this week, met big Jack Mccormick of Philadelphia and agreed to down him in fifteen minutes
 or forfeit $25. Mccormick, who weighed 200 pounds, was q very tough proposition and Parker had all he could do to even encircle his arms around tilse Ouakers body. However, the match was interesting, although when time was up Mccormick was still there Mccormick was the aggressor for the first three minutes. He could not accomplish anything, so let Par ker get on top. Parker secured a firm hammer lock at the eighth min- ute, but Mccormick got away. The final minutes were exciting, both all ternating in escaping what seemed to be dangerous locks Tom Sharkey acted as referee and gave the money and decision to Mccormick. Parker will have n hard task tonight He meets two men, Shilip LaEigne and

ter style requires yards and yards of
lace and ribbon for its ornamentation,
or else it will err on the side of too
much plainness, which would prove a
fatal error in the teagown of the hour.
There are so many details which make
or mar the becomingness of a tea
gown that only the expert is able to
bring about the best results. The
draping of the back with lace just
above the waist line takes off what
would otherwise be a too severe APP
pearance, and the pretty swathing of
the front adds most graceful lines, and
yeti attempted by one not possessing
the requisite skill the whole good re-
suit would be utterly lost.
The only difference L have been
able to distinguish between the
modish teajacket and the coffee coat
is that one is given the pretty finish
of a high collar of lace, while the
other is fashioned to be worn open
at the throat. l saw lovely tea
jacket yesterday made of silk in a
soft shade of pink and cozily lined
Groups of tiny tucks and a jabot of
lace ornamented the front, while the
sleeves were prettily tucked and fin
ished with falling frills of silk and
soft lace.
Some of the swellest-looking COT
fee coats yet seen were made of the
rather old-fashioned surah silk, with
medallion applique designs and in
sertions of fine cream-tinted lace.
Others were fashioned entirely of
lace, with a pretty colored siIken lin
ing showing beneath. These little
coats are dainty in the extreme, and
quite the thing to buy, if one has
the price.
The wise woman will at once care
fully consider the merits Of the all
black gown if she desires to be reck-
oned among the up-to-date dressers,
for word has just come from over
