and froggings trim such robes well; and the
braid girdle with fringe or tassel ends is
newer than the ordinary cord and tassel.
The crinkled silks with wadding back
are the most beautiful of the very warm
lounging robe materials, and while more
expensive than the wadded and quilted
Japanese silk robes, are better invest
ment, because the silk in the latter is likely
to be very flimsy and wear badly.
These crinkled silk robes are shown in
all the shops, either in plain models or in
robes lace trimmed, like the one sketched
for one of the small cuts. When made
TO order they can, Of course, be more care
fully fitted and more effective trimmings
can be employed.

gold cord twisted around the crown and tied
in loose knot with pendent tassels is the
only trimming upon certain chic imported
models of long nap beaver. Gold cpau-
lettes, cockades, boutons, braid, passe-
menterie, are all favored, and many of the
new plumes have gold tipped stems.
Threads Of gold brighten almost all the
new embroidcries and enter into large
percentage of the new braids.

There is a renewed demand for China and
India silks, and these stufis, either plain or
embroidered, make charming house and
dinner frocks. They lend themselves per-
fectly to present modes and in good quality,
are more serviceable than crepe.

must be good, either real or very high
grade imitato ion, for there is more general
knowledge Of lace qualities and values than
there was few seasons ago.
The fur blouse, with long or short basque
and decorative girdle, is the most chic OF
the fur coats, and the favorite girdle s
broad one of suede matching the color of
the fur, and either embroidered or studded
with jewels.
Sometimes waistcoat corresponding
with the girdle is added to these coats.
One maker has been showing a blouse OF

suede embroidered in black and violet and

Russian embroidery gains more and more
approval, particularly in the realm Of shirt
waists. Cotton etamine shirt waists with
cuffs, front plait and epaulettes embroid-
cred in Russian cross stitch are very fash
ionable, and coarse linen or crash turnover
collars and cuffs embroidered in the cross
stitch are having great vogue. The mate
rails for the embroidery and the stamp ed
collars and cuffs may be bought for very
little money, and the stitch is so simple that
any one who can handle needle can do the
work speedily.
The bonnet, whose advent was chronicled
in the autumn, still finds dubious acceptance,
and is, as a rule, used only for the theatre.

NURSES ARE GIVEN MEDALS
Recognition for Services on Hospital
ships in south African and
Chinese Waters.

NEW YORK, April 29.-seven nurses
from the Mills training school for nurses,
who saw service in Chinese and South
African waters on the hospital ship Maine,
have received their Chinese. medals from
the British government, through Sir Percy
Sanderson.
The medals for the South African service
they received last year. The Chinese med
ais have on one side arms and ordnance
grouped beneath palm leaves and on the
other side the head Of Queen Victoria, with
the inscription Victoria Regina ct EN-
peritorix" On the medals is engraved
"China, IsOO" with the name OF the re-
cipient. The ribbon to be worn with the
meda.s has a ruby center with a narrower
margin of yellow on each side.
One OF the tokens Of appreciation which
the nurses received in the course Of their
service was a letter from Surgeon P. c.

THEY DO NOT HAVE TO TELL
Supreme Court Decides I'm Favor of
Men Accused of B0Od-

JEFFERSON CITY, April 2s.-The state
supreme court today decided that I. L.
Page and Cole Hickox cannot be made
to tell from whom they received the $1,000
and $500 bills, had in their possession In
February last, about the time the greater
part of the alum Doodle money was dis
tributed
The decision was rendered by Judges Rob-
inson, Fox and Burgess and IL will. 1t is
believed, prove the most severe setback the
prosecution in the Doodle cases has yet re-
ceived
The judges held that Page and Hickox
were within their constitutional rights and
ordered Sheriff Smith to discharge them
from custody. Smith had the prisoners un-
der a commitment for contempt. issued by
Judge HazelI of the circuit court on Mon
day. &C.
Judge Hazell held that they could tell
from whom they received the money with
out in any way placing themselves in dan
ger Of prosecution. The supreme court now
holds that the names of the men who gave
them the money might be a necessary link
in the chain to secure their own convic-
tions.
Yesterday Judge Robinson granted a writ
of habeas corpus in the case of Page and
Hickox and set the hearing for today At
torney General Crow today appeared for the
state and there was considerable argument
in the case.
