ALL ABOUT A HATPIN.

oh, Reginald Van Buren, lived
very happy life.
Until one day a gift he bought
And gave it to his wife.
The gift was just a hatpin. but
The head was an odd tint,
A sort Of brown enamel with
"A lovely reddish CLINT
Was Reggie's wife delighted? Well.
Delighted,-she was that.
She cried. TO match this hatpin. why.
I'll have 70 have a hatl'
She got a hat TO match the pin;
To match the hat a veil;
And now we are but started on
This very thrilling tale.
To match the veil she got some gloves;
To match the gloves purse;
And from that moment. really.
Things went from bad to worse.
To match the purse she got a skirt;
To match the skirt a waist:
To match the waist she got cloak.
All chosen with good taste
To match the hatpin. then she bought
Innumerable things.
From lingerie TO things you see,
From shOestrings up 10 rings
To match this toilette all complets
The parlor was arranged;
To match the parlor. next the house
From basement up was changed
But when this transformation scene
Was finished and complete,
The dear dame thought the dwelling
place
Was better than the street.
And so she found street TO match
Her dwelling and her gown;
And then. Alas. alack." she cried.
The street don't match the town!"
Poor Reginald Van Buren stormsd.
While Mrs. Reggie cried;
She got Mysteries. got quite IL.
And pined away and died
L'Envoi.
So. husbands. now take warning all.
Unless you'd live in strife,
Give any mortal present but
A hatpin TO your wife

RARE JEWELS WORN
BY SOCIETY WOMEN
OF GREAT BRITAIN

The riches of Mayfair are never
more plainly proved than by the jewels
OF its women. Tiaras are the rule and
not the exception; every bride expects
at least a couple. But it seems not i'm
probable that another and lighter form
of diamond headgear will come into
fashion.
The Marchioness of CRANKY has sew
eral times worn net of diamonds, the
beautiful Lady Beatrice Pole-Carew
wears a bandesu of brilliants and the
young Duchess Of Roxburghe appeared
at a dinner this season with wings of
diamonds in her dark hair.
Diamond shoulder straps are among
adopted by Princess Henry of Pless.
the Duchess OF Marlborough and the
Hon. Mrs. Ivor Guest. Mrs. Ivor Guest
has worn as a charming substitute for
the orthodox tiara a pair OF diamond
leaves. the tips of the leaves meeting
above her brow.
Colored stones seem rapidly increas-
ing in popular favor Rubies. emeralds.
sapphires and even amethysIs have
been greatly to the fore during the past
six months In this we are uncon-
sciously initiating the court of ST. Pc
tersburg. as the women OF the Russian
aTistocraoy are far more noted for their
colored stones than for their pearls and
diamonds
The Duchess Marie of Saxe-Coburg g
Gotha possesses some OF the finest ru-
hies in the world. Among other owners
of splendid ruhies are the Countess of
Dudley. the Countess Of Stradbroke.
Mrs Bradley Martin, Mrs. Arthur
James and Lady wimborne. who often
wears a famous single stone of great

Metz Banking Company Robbed.

On last Friday night the banking
house of the Metz Banking Co. was
entered by BURGERS, the safe blown
open and about $1,000 stolen.
The safe was ruined but the build
ing, which is . new and substantial
brick structure, was not hurt. A
number of the eitizena were awak-
ened by the explosion but the rob-
bers had secured their booty, and
were gone, before thew could be
captured. Il is believed there were
three OF the party aud that they
went west towards Fort Scott in a
rubber tired buggy. The tools us
ed were stolen from the Mo. Pae.
tool house. The back is a branch
OF the Rich Hin bank and on Satur.
day morning MIR. w. f. Tygard,
the president, took the necessary
funds down to replace the amour,
stolen and the bank opened at once
for business as usual. The bank is
fully insured ia the Bankers Pro-
lection Association. A reward OF
$1,000 is offered for the capture
and conviction OF the BURGERS, and
their apprehension IS probably only
a question OF time.
