Fashion Promises to Take Up the Cau-Charmins and Mnt ssCnuuyo

Fashion Promises to Take Up the
 Cap--Charming and Not "Cappy."
 The cap is the latest folly. There is so much to be said for it that 1t is not to be wondered at that great deal Is said against it. You see, in the old days-no, the middle aged days-one wore cap because one was bald or aged or married or something equally convincing. Further back Perdita and other lovely women wore caps for a far more charming greason-because they looked bewitching in them. Nowadays well, nowadays we have the courage of oar convictions. We are to wear them and decline to give any sensible" reason for So doing.
 The varieties of the cap are legion. To begin with, there iA the first step Hou take a scarf Of some soft lace alencon, mechlfn, tambour, Limerick one of those laces that droop and take graceful lines whichever way they fall With jeweled pin gather up the cen ter Of the scarf and fasten it just be- hind the pouf of hair over your fore head. The two ends, hanging like lap pete, can be treated in three ways they can be tied in a little bow we'll on one side, they can be tied at the back of the neck or they can be left loose just hald in place by an Italian hairpin behind each ear.
 4 triangle of lace may be pressed into the service. One point is pinned in front Ia Marie Stuart; the other two afford points from whence the strings proceed, though be 1t at once under stood that strings are not neces- sary to nine caps out of ten. es- psciaily If a "cappy" effect Is to be in any way avoided or if the confin- ing lace or ribbon under ones chin bothers one at all. A rather duffy type, frilied edge. certain irregular ity Of demeanor, is fascinating and preferable, though the Puritan coyness

 Knotted fringes of tussore silk make an attractive finish to that fabric; so does silk maltese or cluny lace to match exactly.
 Lounging gowns of soft silk. with long, hanging sleeves and deep collar, are made in one plain color-bright rose, Du Barry pink, delft blue or ap- pie green.
 The improved coffee sack proves so useful that it is being made in all sorts of lace to slip on over any kind of bod ice.
 Yellow straws are much in evidence in millinery.
 Pink is likely to be very we'll worn for evening, and many of the best dresses are striped perpendicularly. Flounced skirts are here again. Braided shoestring belts figure among novelties. Dresses of china silk with lace in- sertions are singularly youthful and fresh in appearance.
 In new Norfolk jackets the sides alone are belted. the fronts hanging free.
 There is lace on everything.

Harold had received his first i've dol lar bill. He was told that it was to be deposited in the bank, and the details were explained to him. Harold accom- panied his mother to the bank, and, when ready, the book was handed to him. He looked at 1t a moment, and then, throwing the book across the room, exclaimed:

tion, the Marie Stuart mode comes back again and again. This time the wired front rises above the hair before de scending into its little peak. Why is that peak always so becoming, and why call it peak when it is a valley, and ought not one to talk of the whole as coif?
 Caps, by the way, look delightful with the ten jacket and coffee coats, and of course this latest whim is no- tion entirely for the house.

Postmaster General Payne said FRI

not portions Of the report should DO

Chicago Flyer" No. 6. on the Santa
Fe road. was wrecked at 1870 Friday
morning at Apishapa Greek. four
miles east Of Fowler. The spikes had
been removed from one rail on the
bridge over the creek and when
the engine left the track one span Of
the bridge. 100 feet long, went down.
Two cars with the engine fell into
the creek. Engineer john Walker was
badly scalded and may die. Ten or
twelve other persons were injured.
One Of the most seriously injured Is
John G. Benson. of North Dakota. His
face was crushed. Relief trains were
sent to the scene of the wreck from
Pueblo and La Junta and the injured
we're taken to the latter place. The
private car occupied by A. 8. Kimber-

turning from the annual convention

Not So Very Weak.

The train was on windy pass In the
Rockies. There were in the car few
miners, two cowboys, woman, who
looked Ill, and man clothed in very
British tweeds. He was evidently
used to roughing It, and sat beside the
open window Indifferent to the cold
air that swirled into the car. Behind
him sat the woman, shivering. Across
the aisle was a large-boned western
err. He did not seem to mind the wind
himself, but he gave kind, solicitous
glance toward the woman. After an
hour of shivering she leaned forward
and asked the man in front of her to
close the window. He paid no atten-
ton to her request, except that he
looked straight ahead and said, adj
dressing himself to the world at large,
Americans seem to be weak lot"
Then the tall man across the aisle rose
slowly. His head came Just under the
bell-cord. He reached across the tweed
suit, pushed the owner of II rather
rudcly into the corner of the seat, laid
hold of the window-catch with his big
thumb and finger. and sent the window
down with SLAM. Il guess we amt
so very weak, pardner." he said
