but IN this case the preference is for deep
embroidered border rather than an all
over design, In place Of the larger and
smoothly embroidered dots, a deep border
OF thickly sprinkled French knots is eff
fective and the fancy for shaded effects
asserts itself in such borders worked in
many shadings of one color.
For example, q parasol in deep corn
flower blue has a six-inch border Of French
knots worked in all shades Of corn-fower
blue, from palest blue white to blue black.
These shaded effects are much In evil

tons, though they have come into favor
since the early buyers laid in their supply,
and consequently are to be found at the

AZ the large shops. In many instances
they are imported with certain costumes,

AUGUSTA, Ga, July 25.-As n result Of
banter, Lewis Hopkins and Tracey Mat
thewson, tho latter married, were taken
out of n refrigerator car nearly frozen to
death after being eleven hours in the car
without food or drink. On Wednesd,.y
night these two, with n young man named
Stovan. decided. as joke, to beat their
way from Augusta to Kansas lity. At the
freight yards they entered the first open
car they found and went TO sleep.
After few hours Stovale became so cold
that he left The car and returned to the city
He realized the danger his companions
were in and notified Hopkinss brother, but
the train had gone. At Belair, eight miles
out. the conductor sealed the car doors.
Tracers were sent after the car and IL was
found at 5 o'clock the following afternoon
in the Atlanta freight yard. When the
young men were taken out they were almost
frozen.

snnsbaCle modes have shown little that
IL distinctly novel, this season. yet the
narosos of tha summer are particularly
nvely and there are countless variations
mon the ideas exhibited last season.
The severe parasol of one-tone silk and
with no prctcnce to Ornamentation save in
Ne more or less costly h0ndles has had an
unusual vogue even among the ultra fas-
,idiorIs: and Partisan women have especially
favored a vivid emerald green for such
parasos
Bright red is second choice, and then
comes the white parasol; but this last,
while retaining the severity Of form and
admitting no frills and furbelows, usually
has its plainness relieved by touches of
embroidery in white in black or in color.
For general use, such sunshade en-
broidered all over in wafer dots of white
or black is exceedingly chic, and tiny

PLAYERS ALL ESCAPED.
Careless Boy in Charge Of Arc Light
Caused $500 PLAYERS.


Chicago Dec. 31.--Dazed and horri-
fed by the frightful calamity, members
of the Iroquos theater force and of
the cast of Mr.. Bluebeard." were alb
solutely at loss when asked for a
coherent explanation of the tragedy.
AS soon as the panic broke, the 400
persons on the stage hurried out thru
the stage entrance and escaped, all
without serious injury. although some
were slightly burned.
Responsibility for the Iroquois the
alter fire was ascribed last night to the
careless placing of an exposed electric
arc light too near one of the hang
ing borders of the scenery. The arc
light, which is used in place of the call
cium in all first class theaters, was in
charge of youth whose name could
not be learned.
Archie Bernard, the stage electri-
clan, saw the fire start and made fran
tic but unavailing efforts to check the
spread of the flames. In describing the
origin of the fire he said:
lone of the borders swung against
the arc light while the boy was away
for moment. and went up in a flash
of fire. The light was too close to the
border or the fire never would have
started"
The 500 persons behind the scenes
took the event calmly and hurried out
in their make-ups. Some of the young
women went out into the cold only
partly attired, having had absolutely
no time to throw bit of clothing over
their shoulders.

floor of the building directly east of
the theater. He saw smoke in the al

were within fifteen feet of the women
who were standing on the fire escape
of the top gallery, but we could do
nothing to rescue them. They seemed
dazed and the crowd in the rear pushea
two of them from the iron balcony into

jumped and were killel. A score OF
others We're trampled to death.
In fe wmnutes a fireman put a
board across to the fire escape from
the Northwestern University building
just opposite and three or four women
were carried over it in safety. They
presented pitiabla sight with their
clothes burned off and .heir arms and
legs bruised. one woman apparently
was crazed by the excitement. Her
