 Sparks was hopeful until just about II 80 o'clock he received a telegram from his attorney in Montgomery. saying that the governor refused to interfere.

to the fact that General Wood and

Picture Collarettes.

II is scarcely to be expected that
any style could come in this season
without it's picture qualities, and the
capes are no exception to the rule
that all dress must be picturesque.
There are many of the cape family
that are more than picture like, hav-
ing qualities of decoration that are
positively romantic.
Witness a collarette built of black
satin embroidered in red and gold
silk, the design being Russian. Trees,
strange animals and all sorts of
quantity shaped houses are worked
into the design of the collarette,
which e o@ly sSc%l3c. deep and is in
tended for evening wear alone. Along
its edges there are shirrings of
white mousseline.
Another like cape for evening wear
is n white satin, embroidered in gold
threads, very little of the material
being needed, as the cape is not quite
shoulder deep. 1t is finished with
gold fringe and is trimmed around
the throat with very heavy, very
fluffy ruffle of white chiffon.
Still another shoulder cape, this one
worn by a young matron. is cut from
p handsome bit of silk brocade. which
is outlined as is its figures with
white silk. The border of this cape
is trimmed with the tiniest bands of
fur.
And there are conventional picture
capes which can be worn in the day
time, one of which is made of black
silk covered with black lace and Dor
dered with narrow band of black
fur.
A still more conventional design is
the collarette which is fiat, is made of
fur and is cut with long stoles. The
. inner part is lined with white satin
and the ends are trimmed with ball
| fringe. The price, which is governed
| hy the kind of fur, runs from $50 up
10 $4,000, with 500 as a reasonable
average.
But, with this stole collar, there Is
a large fat muff, which is very hand
some, and which Is built on new lines
1t is of the same fur, front and back
is lined inside with fur, and is pc fat
as it is possible to make It.

them; and there is not the sign of

A permanent camp. Vickars. was es.
tablished a few miles from the lake
and a captain of cavalry, John J
Pershing. was left there to make
friends. His method of establishing
friendly relations was somewhat un
usual, but so effective that in less
than a year he led a force completely
around the lake, for the first time in
history.

The captain kept open house" in
his tent, and explained to all dattos
who accepted his invitation to cal
that he wished to be their friend, that
he would not interfere with any o
their customs nor touch a stick oil

the same by him. Most of them agreed
to this proposition, and gave no moro
trouble. Only two. the chiefs of Macir

be to look after blind tigers and
nothing else they would soon be
