fuller's earth and powdered alum mixed

again until the next day, when they must
be brushed until all the powder is removed.
The next process is to rub them with oat-

has been added. Wipe all this off with a
dry cloth, and the gloves are ready to be
worn again.

A Smart Travelling Wrap.

A rather striking manteau de voyage is
designed in a light brown tartan outlined
with wide, stitched band of cream faced
cloth. The cape is of cream cloth to match,
and the sleeve is caught into the form of
kind of frill at the wrist by means of
stitched band of cream cloth to correspond.

There is a tornado wave of leather

coat of the close-fitting cult has its collar
and cuff facings of dull orange cloth. With
less of the bizarre about it is another jacket

An Afternoon Frock.

While upon the subject of gray gowns.
charming afternoon frock is that of smoke
colored face cloth, the skirt plated about
the waist and the hem trimming carried
out by bouillonne of the cloth taken up in
infnitesimal tucks to form a band edged
with narrow quillings. The bodice has an
empiecement of point de venise which eN-
tends over the puffed sleeves and meets
long. tight cuff of the same lace. A basqued
effect and girdle are of green velvet. The
boat-shaped chapeau is of green beaver
trimmed with several pale gray feathers.

ping luncheon where a rope skipping con-
test took place for a half hour before the

Silk is to have a great vogue this winter,

A Check for Services.

On cross-examination Mr. Worthington
got witness to Identify a letter he had
written to Barrett on February 1, 1904
inclosing a check for S175 for professional
services. Witness explained this by say
ing that the account with Barrett had
not been settled up when the contract
had expired. and that he had forgotten
all about it" until early this year.
Mr.. Hershey tried TO show that this
payment was for services at Harris
burg In connection with some other
business, but witness cOHlC not be sure
whether the suggestion va correct or
not.
Witness then told OF visit TO St
Louis by Hayes Morgan as a pOstofice
inspector, but as witness was u % that
time, he could tell little in detaa,-. He
did not know whether Inspector Fulton
accompanied Morgan.
After a great deal of delay the wit

resumed.
Finally. after a great many questions
by Mr.. Worthington, the witness re-

his affair"
The date which the witness had given
was February, 1892. The prosecution
was willing to admit Mr.. Hoss meant
February. 1903. but witness would not so
agree. Mr.. Worthington contended Bar

as May 1903. in preparing a statement

LIGHT VOTE IN 1904,
GUESSERS ESTIMATE
Lack OF interest Among Democrats and Reduced Money
bags Among Republicans the Reasons Given to Ac-
count for Some Estimates for Times Prizes

The estimates so far received in The
Times election contest indicate the
anticipation of a comparatively slight
increase in the vote which VIII be cast
next fall over the vote Of four years
ago. There are exceptions. but the ma
jortty of estimates support this opinion.
The average anticipated increase. as
estimated by the guessers. approximate
ly Is about 100000 votes. This is 200.0O9
more than the increase in 1900. when the
total popular vote for the Republican
ana Democratic candidates was only
zo0.253 greater than in 1896
Why contestants select this rate of
progression as the base of their esti-
mates instead Of the elections q 1892
and 1886. when the latter showed an in
crease Of 26461z2 votes is a matter of
interesting conjecture
