ing for which are wide, soft ribbons.
Ribbons in Favor.
Ribbons never were more favored,
and some of the wash petticoats are
so beautiful as to incline women to-
ward the hope that some day petit
coats will be worn outside.
For instance, upon a handmade ju-
pom of Paris lawn, with fiounces of
French lace, Louisine ribbon in Wat
teau colors is employed. Quite eight
inches wide, this is frilled under the
lace fiounces, creating a tender blur
of color, though, of course, the ribbon
frills come off with washing.
Looping garlands of narrower Wat
teau ribbons are used upon other pet
ticoats, which are in tinted lawns and
batistes. These dainty CONNECTIONS
are adorable. though, from their very
nature, they must be confined to
house use. Sometimes combining
with killed jacket, also ribbon-trim-
med, they are exploited by the shops
which make fine underwear a special
ty. In this shape they are intended
for any negligee service that would
call for smartislr get-up.

makes the beholder forget the sheen OF
the winter silks. Woman dares to force
the season, and the result is too charm
ing to be cavilled at. Besides, an I'M
derslip of silk or lawn will furnish suf-
ficient weight as we'll as to bring out
more distinctly the beauty Of lace in
sertion or openwork embroidery.
These lawn underslips bid fair to be
worn through the entire summer. The
filminess of the nets and laces used in
the fashioning of the waists necessi-
tates either one of these, or else a cor

Open Mesh Laces and Nets.
Never have open mesh laces and
nets been so lavishly used as on the
summer dresses and separate waists.
Deep lace Jokes will be a feature of
many of the blouses, or the entire
lower half of the blouse may be an
insert of all-over lace. Net figures

to see the faint touches Of color which
relieve many of the new waists. Ores

ers are springing up on the white
backgrounds.
The Color Revolt.
This is about as far as many will
care to go in the color revolt, To be
sure, the waist makers are showing
some delicate tans and beige which
will surely find purchasers, and blues
and green's will appeal to more daring
spirits. They will lead the way, and
there will be followers in plenty.

tons of black and white Chantilly.
The BIOuse Bodice.
For gowns of this elaborate descrip-
ton. the blouse bodice, which gathers
into the belt, is still much in evidence,
though it is varied by the little jackets
that hang from the shoulders. For
both styles the newest waist girdlings
are very wide, while the skirts hang
with an effect as loose as it was lately
tight.
Whole sermons could be written upon
the hang and fall of these skirts, but
perhaps it is enough to say that they
only reach the highest form of excel
lence when in French shape. However,
the artistic pattern houses are putting
forth fiat models, which brilliantly
achieve the French effects. So with
soft and adaptable materials growing
daily more and more numerous, the
woman of needle knack may follow the
most intricate of them. The made-up

tions and trimming effects, to the clever

The Louis style.
Costumes which only master hands
may effect are among the imported
Louise styles. These run to satin and
silk and velvet coats with stiffened
tails, high buckled belts and lace ja-
bots. The skirt may be in an entirely
different material-lace, net, or chiffon
but it has in line the same courtly
suggestion as the jacket, and the little
three cornered hat shown with the cos
tune may sport lace rosettes embroid-
cred with gold or silver.

such styles here importers are bringing
over the embroidered kid vests and
cuffs which will begay many of them.
Notwithstanding, 1T is woman herself
who shall decide whether or not tailed
coats will be worn, and there is no
doubt but that the popular vote will be
for the loose bolero. Frilled and
fiounced skirts, for which there is just
now a furore, go charmingly with
these, and hats of the simplest line
complete the girlish get-up.

Flounces of lace compose the wide
brims of some dressier hats, whose
crowns are not infrequently of Wat
teau ribbons, punched and puffed in
numberless ways. Indeed, the new hat
models are too many to be counted,
and if there are close hats there are
flaring ones, and if modest styles, ex-
travagant styles. Still, what might
be called a studied restraint marks

Nourse, of New Orleans.

Charles Nourse, little three
year-old son of Rev. and Mrs. Chas.
L. Nourse. of New Orleans, was
fatally burned last week and died
from his injuries Saturday. The
body arrived here yesterday after
noon and was buried in Hopewell
Cemetery from the l. c. depot. The
little fellow on Monday overturned a
kettle of scalding water that was
on a gas stove. The contents fell
upon him and though medical aid
was secured at once, the burns
proved fatal five days later. The
little boy was a grandson Of Rev.
w. L. Nourse, Of this city, and a
nephew Of Mr.. Thos. j. Baynham. of
Kennedy. He was an only child, the
idol Of his fond parents.

Mrs. Chadwick Broke the
Record In Giving Worth
less Checks.
OWES OVER A MILLION.
Grandjury Will Investigate
But it is Doubtful if She
Can Be Indicted.

New York, Dec. II. From present
indications it is extremely unlikely
that any attempt will be made to
obtain bail for Miss Cassie l.. Chad
wick, who has been in the Tombs since
last Thursday on a charge of
aiding bank officials in the embez-
Element of $l2,5OO. She was held un-
SIS, 600 bail.
According to estimates made in
Cleveland by those who are familiar
with the estate of Mrs. Chadwick,
creditors will receive about one and
one-half mill on the dollar. 1t is
believed that her indebtedness aggre-
gates $1,190,0OO and against this
stands security of known value on
only one note amounting to 81, 800
which is held by Iri Reynolds. The
case of Mrs. Chadwick will be brought
before the grand jury at Cleveland.
The matter Of the rival receivership,
it is believed, will be adjusted by the
resignation of Herbert w. Bell, who
was appointed by the Common Pleas
Court.
1t is the opinion Of some Of the
leading attorneys of Cleveland that a
charge of forgery cannot be made to
hold in connection with these notes.
They declare that it is not an act of
forgery for one person to write the
name Of another, but that the offense
lies in the attempt to negotiate such
signature for a specific value.
This, they say, there is so far no
evidence that Mrs. Chadwick has
done. She has not sold or attempted
to sell the notes for cash that have
Andrew Carnegies name to them.
She has obtained Nancy from va
rious sources on the statement of
Iri Reynold that she, to the best Of
his knowledge and belief, held secur-
ity of certain value, and whether he.
proves correct or otherwise in his
estimate of the value of the notes
there can be no doubt that Mr..
Reynolds believed what he said.
The extent Of her operations isl
now believed to be Approximately

Mr.. John L. Griffith Given
Minimum Fine in Small
pox Case.
TRIED BY A JURY OF SIX.
The Stricken Child Is Now
About Well and Danger
Is Past.

The trial of Mr.. John L. Griffith
for failing to obey the orders of the
Board Of Health and permit his
two-year-old child to be taken to the
Cedar Grove hospital for smallpox
patients, was concluded Friday
night and fine of $40 was assessed
against Mr.. Griffith. The city was
represented by City Attorney j. T.
Hanbery and the defendant by Mr..
j. B. Russell.
The jury was made up of the fol-
lowing business men: j. T. Wall,
w. 7. Cooper, w. S. Harmed, John
Nj. Renshaw, Hayward Richards and
Oscar Hanbery.
Several law points were raised
and argued and the case was argued
after several witnesses had testified
on both sides. The main fact of
failure to comply with the order
was not denied.
The jury assessed the lowest pen
'alty, the fine authorized being from
$40 to 800 a day.
This case was generally regarded
as a test case and it is not probable
that there will be any further re-
sistance to the orders of the Board
Of Health.
Saturday was rainy day and no
further steps were taken, except
that Health Officer Woodland went
in person to see the Griffith child.
He found it rapidly convalescing
from a very mild case Of smallpox.
Yesterday Mr.. Griffith agreed to
the removal of his child to Cedar
Grove hospital. Mrs. Griffith went
with it and assurance was given that
the little one should have d nurse
and every attention that it could re-
ceive in its own home. The little
patient is rapidly scaling and will
be we'll in a week or ten days.
THE SITUATION YESTERDAY.
There has been a steady improve
ment in the county and city since
last report. From Concord hospital
SO were discharged Saturday and
and fully as many are ready
to discharge at Gracey.
The present figures show a big de-
crease from the 1876 under treatment
Thursday.

Total

There have been only 4 new cases
admitted at Concord, l at Cedar
Grove and none at Gracey.
Probably half Of the remaining pa
tients will be turned out this week.
The situation is now well in hand,
the scare is over and excitement has
subsidized. The Board of Health will
exercise constant vigilance, and as
an extra precaution will still look
closely after vaccination in the coun-
ty schools. The following order has
been issued, the object being to have
every child vaccinated and not to
keep any child out of school.
TO TEACHERS.
You are hereby notified, that if you
permit any child to remain in your
school who has not had a successful
vaccination within the last three
wears, you will be held amenable to
the law, under Section 2055, Statutes
of Kentucky. ANY person who shall
fail or refuse after written notice
from the Local Board or State Board
to observe or obey the written re-
quest, shall be fined not less than $40
nor more than 500 for each day he
so fails or neglects.
Done by order of the Christian
County Board of Health, this the 9th
day of Dec. 1904.
