Jack the Peeper Meets His Just De s serts in This Town.

serts in This Town.
 For some time past a Jack the Peep CT, has been working his filthy occupa- ton of Maple street. He was seen one night recently by young lady who re- sides in, Maple street vicinity while he was looking in the window of her room. He has since kept his game up, con- tinually looking in windows at about II o'clock, night after night. He met his fate Saturday evening, however, and this is how 1t came about. A young lady who resides on Maple street has from time to time also seen this fiend performing his ungentlemanly act. Finally his peeping became so ur- bearabIe around Maple street that she told her brother about his acts. Satur- day night her brother sat up and watched for the fellow, telling his sis ter to come and tell him when she heard him trying to work the window blinds. It was about 10 o'clock or so when he made his regular visit and the young lady immediately informed her brother of the fellows appearance. The brother left the house bv a rear door. and gave chase to the fellow and captured him before he had gone very far He gave the fellow a severe thrashing and was going to hand him over to the police but he begged so hard to be let go. promising to discontinue his act 0f Deeping in windows. that the brother allowed him his liberty. The peeper is a we'll known young man. prominent in popular club and al. ways appeared model young man. For this reason his name is kept SC: cret. but if he is again caugbt in his beast1y act it would be only fair to the people at large to make his name known to them. It is improbable. how ever. that he will aoain resume his peeping occunation. for fine severe beat ing he received Saturday evening will act. as a gentle reminder to him if he should be inclined to start operations again.

Voouish corsets.


The woman isn't in existence who
hasn't a fondness for dainty lingerie,
and the corset figures under this head.
Dainty and exquisite designs in cor
sets are making their appearance in
a wide variety Of cut and material.
All the cuts tend toward the deep
dip in front and the long hip, while
the materials consist of Powered silks
and satins.
II has been admitted by people Of
unquestioned good sense and taste
that the corset of to-day is cut and
made in such a manner as to give the
wearer an exquisite figure and comfort
at the same time, and it will be a long
time before 1t goes out, for the fash
ionable woman will not give up beauty
and comfort without struggle.
The ribbon corset is still with us and
bids fair to stay, for the slender wom-
an has made it popular.
One corset is in double satin ribbon,
pale primrose in color, and made
little broader than the ribbon cor
sets worn this summer. It fastens

Ancient Slate Palettes.

Wonderfully carved slate palettes
have just been found by Prof. Petrie
at Hierakonopolis. They were en-
ployed by the queens and princesses
of the first rulers of Egypt as recep-
tacles for holding the paint used in
the preparation of their elaborate
toilets. The hollow ringed space in
the center was utilized for holding the
paint.
They were found in the great tombs
OF the predynastic kings who reigned
5000 to 5000 years before Christ. The
palettes are considered to be the most
important early monuments so far re-
covered, and are of especial interest,
zoologically, as showing several ami
mails now extinct in Egypt.
The sculptures on the states are
supposed to commemorate battles and
victories about the time of King
Menes, the first ruler of united Egypt.

A voice In the scented night,
A step where the rose trees blow
o Love, and o Loves delight!
Cold star at the blue vaults height,

She comes In her young loves glow

the ribbon should be colored, and 3
bright crimson for preference, as this
tone makes a particularly pleasing
contrast to dusky locks. Velvet iR
quite the material par excellence this
winter, and is to be met with in the
form of shaped bands, separate houn-
ces, or appliques, as well as forming
whole gowns. 1t is particularly be-
coming material, and, being at once
soft and rich-looking, requires little
or no trimming, unless it be some
fur. Corduroy velvet is considered
very smart for outdoor wear, and it is
a harder and better wearing material
than the other. Velvet, however, is a
material for the rich only, as it must
be of good quality to wear and look
well, and the cost of a really good
toilette is considerable. Two golden
rules to observe in selecting anything
are-never to buy anything that is
startling or conspicuous unless you
have long purse, and avoid anything
that is too smart or remarkable to go
with the rest of your toilette, as 1t
will make the whole look shabby.
