automobile agents" who had an office
in the Crossley building. New Mont
gomery and Mission streets. There is
a warrant out for his arrest on a
charge of obtaining money by false
pretenses, the complaining witness be-
ing Charles NJ. Eckland. 1898 Peralta
street, Oakland.
Smith opened offices in the Crossley
building on March 12 and negotiated
for the lease of an automobile stable
at Golden Gate and Van Ness avenues.
He advertised for a partner and on
March % Eckland paid him $1,000 cash
for a share in the business. Smith
represented to him that he was agent
for Bentz & Co, automobile manufac-
turers, Mannheim. Germany. and said
he had eight carloads of machines from
that firm i'm bond in Chicago.
FINDS NO AUTOMOBILES.
Eckland was sent to Chicago TO OBJ
tain money to release the machines
from bond and was furnished with a
letter Of Introduction to an alleged
friend of Smith in that city, who. IT
was claimed, would provide the money
and also pay for Eckland's transpor-
ftation back, Eckland having paid his
own fare to Chicago. Eckland called
at the address given in Chicago. but
no such person was known there.
Eckland made inquiry and ascertained
that nothing was known at the Gus
tom house of the existence of the
eight carloads of machines. He then
consulted a private detective agency
and was told that he had run up
against one of the cleverest crooks in
the country. When he returned to
this city he discovered that Smith
had flown.
Another victim Of Smith is Alexan-
der Westrup of Kenwood. Sonoma
County. He also answered the adver-
tisement for a partner and on March
"a paid Smith $500 cash and gave him
note for $500 more He was told by
Smith that customer in Pasadena
wanted to buy an automobile. but as
there was not one in stock that would
be suitable, he would have TO go to
Salt Lake City, where Smith said he
had a machine of his own. Westrup
was TO get the machine and bring it
to the city. He got a letter of intro
duction to the man in Salt Lake who,
Smith said, had the machine, but when
he got there. no such man was known.
Westrup also paid his own transporta-
ton When he returned to this city
Smith had disappeared.

Hand Work on Winter Hats.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
good deal of delicate hand work is Law
ished on hats. Another black hat is COW

partly with satin, seen in tiny tucks set
close together and drawn up in gathers.
For the moderately high crown the satin
only is used, whereas the brim is half one
half the other the line of demarcation be-
tween the inner portion of velvet and the
outer one of tucked satin being deeply
waved. For further trimming this hat has
a plume of tips on the left side. Other
black velvet hats l have seen were richly
worked with jet. In one instance the jet
embroidery formed deep vandykes. having
their bases in the edge of the brim where
there was bordering of large black beads
A plume of ostrich tips was placed rather
forward, and a handsome sheaf of aigrette
Juttlng out from the side across the front.
Smaller hats and toques are sometimes
made of velvet, gathered full over circles of
half-inch wide ribbon WIRE One composed
Of a medium-tinted gray-blue velvet, ar
ranged in this way, has the brm rolled
rather high off the front and sides, but
sloping down at the back. On the left it
rests on loosely tied bow of liberty ribbon
while above, on the edge of the brim is a
lyre-shaped ornament in blue enamel, set
with pebbles, bordering a blue paradise
tail.

NEW YORK, December %, 1904
In the workrooms of smart dressmakers
Just now there is much talk of wraps 1t
is declared that If sleeves continue to mount
at the shoulders all muf1iings, whether for
day or evening, must accommodate their
lines to the new conditions Already the
change has been widely exploited In even
ing wraps, the majority of which are in the
form of entirely untitled capes or dolman
mantles The high-shouldered and wired
sleeves beneath hold these out with square
effect. The fullness of the cape, however,
begins below the shoulder line Vast dol
man sleeves are achieved in some of these
capes. and they accomplish on good figures
an effect of rare grace. The skirts worn
with the capes also generally long and
sweeping which adds much to the poetry
of the loose muffiing.
Some of the cape-cuts show in the skirt
position a lower flare, made by a circular
flounce, with trimmings to hide the joining
Sometimes the fiounce takes a beetle dip at
the back of the cape, the front in this case
being very much shorter and the sides
rounding up gracefully. Trimming for the
shoulders of the capes takes many FORMS
but since shoulders higher the old
dropping collars are now rarely seen. Such
now collars as appear are generally out to

Stand Up to Fit a Shoe,

People who buy ready-made shoes would
find their footgear much more comfortable
If only they would stand up instead of sit
ting down to be fitted" said an experienced
salesman. Mine out of ten customers,
especially ladies, want to sit in a comfort
able chair all the time they are hitting
shoes, and it is with difficulty that one can
get them to stand few minutes even after
the shoe is fitted. Then when they begin to
walk about a little they wonder why the
shoe is less easy than when 1t was first
tried on. The fact is that the foot is
smaller when one is sitting than when one
is walking about. Exercise brings a larger
quantity of blood to the feet, and they
swell. The muscles, toe require a certain
amount of room. In buying shoes this must
be borne in mind, or one cannot hope to be

The same writer also dwells upon the
Importance of the evening hat, which i'm
portance is certainly demonstrated here by
the splendid chapeaux worn, particularly
about the fine hotels. These hats accom-
pany gowns of quite a low decolletage, and
the wide plumes of the male ostrich accom-
plish the most successful trimmings.
Nothing more beautiful than these soft
feathers could be imagined, and the most
delicate blues and yeIlows of many feathers
will be combined with tie fashionable faded

Is Not Cheap.
This sentimental flower is by no means
cheap, despite it's crushed and damaged
look. 1t is, in fact, rather a dear possess
sion. as the correct degree Of pensiveness,
If one may use the phrase. can only be ac-
complished by the most high-priced art

"They are like Duser' Somebody suggests
and straightway you see the likeness to

The shape of the smart evening hat runs
to a cocked-up jauntness, for scarcely sim

one side or the other. Such velvet models
as do not show the ostrich feathers may

whose richly tinted head and brilliant tail
seem very dashing. The hat is posed rather
off than over the face, the fall of the feath-
ers replacing understanding and softening
the had brims.
But do not be misled by the phrase--even-
ing hat. 1t means only something worn
with a smart light gown, an elaborate
headpiece in which to dine and visit, that

cert doors and no further. For heaus

apt to have extremely trim house dresses

in the non-shrinkable fannels or the dainty

particularly the new plaids. With these
she wears a tailored stock or linen collar
with a tie that tones into the colors of the
plaid. Thus clad she presents an extremely
trim and energetic appearance al the fami-

however, that the average man likes to see

ferrous fuffneSS of an occasional tea gown.

deep founce from a fitted yoke portion.
Airy Fabrics Used.
1t is surprising how many airy evening
wraps are seen. for lace and gauzes are
now considered somewhat smarter textures
than plain cloth. But they are often so
blended with silk and velvet. and so dec
GRATED with beads and embroidery that it
is difficult to tell what is the ground ma
terial. For example, a magnificent cloak
designed for one of societys leaders show
ell an upper portion OF black spangled net
and a deep border of velvet embroidered
with raised roses in silver tinsel. Around
the shoulders and down the front of the
coat went a stole collar with fringes OF
jet and the same silver roses. The effect
was superb but funereal and overdone.
Fur IS a frequent doubling for these
fllmy cloaks, but they are generally made
warm with interlinngs of lambs wool,
which lends itself better to lightness OF
fall. An all-fur evening wrap is generally
in the shape of a jacket of ermne or white
rabbit, for skins are too precious for the

emphasize the square look, and dropping
shoulders are made to appear square by
clever padding.
The simplicity of the cloth evening capes
in many cases is marked, for with the eX-
ception of handsome fur collars of some
sort many models are untrimmed. In this
case a rich color is chosen which harmon
ICES well with some rich skin, as pale blue
with chinchilla, burnt onion with black
bear, etc. This last shade has been found
so universally trying that it is now rarely
made up alone, and rich white Innings are
found necessary for further relief.
In Burnt Onion.
A stunning French cape of burnt onion
cloth with a white lining is worn with a
huge tippet of black skunk. A cape in
Montespan blue cloth-which is an exquis-
itely delicate shade of azure. has the baggy
sleeves gathered at the bottom into wide
chinchilla bands. Below these are falls OF
blue chiffon and lace. the same materials
with deep chenille fringes forming a be-
coming trimming for the neck of the cape.
Among the fantasies are some very odd
effects. a combination of white silk and

A Velvet Novelty.

A novelty among the many new silk vel
vets which have appeared on the market is
that adorned with an embossed satin spot
about the size of a pea, which is of a some
what darker shade than the groundwork.
In some cases it is of quite different color
from the velvet and is outlined with a mar
row rim of white, which gives it a rather
curious effect

emerald green velvet being one shown in
an opera mantle. This cape is shorter ana
rounder than the other two described,
which fell trifie short of three-quarter
length. 1t is cut with undulating edges,
velvet band showing between two others
of the silk. Dolman sleeves are made by
the cut and the round collar repeats the
trimming shown in the bottom of the cape.
A second cape of even more dressiness is
of white lace with medallions in blue ana
pink applique and embroidery, set off by
square collar and edge of Russian sable.
The model of this is the ordinary simple

there are radiant little ermine and rabbit

two very elaborate dolmans in similar

Elaborate Sets.
With velvet gowns, consisting Of a
trained skirt and wadded coat, most elabo-
rate sets are seen. These are especially
affected by women who wish to make the
best of good figures, and the very business
of the sets makes it possible to fashion them
of fairly inexpensive materials. One set
worn at a charity fair given at a fashion,
able hotel was of white rabbit clipped close
to initiate ermine. The tippet, which sunk
into the waist with jet buckles, was fur
nished with long stole ends and completely
edged with a quilting Of white velvet rib
bon. Black velvet, somewhat wider, strung
through openings, was further and most
effective garniture. The muf was I'M
mensely big, with falls of white chiffon and
quillings and lacings of black and white
velvet.
Other sets on a similar order. or with the
neckpiece in small cravat-shape are made
from a variety of woven materials, with
chenille and lace falls and velvet ribbons
initiate furs such as the crushed velours
and bear cloths, but others are wooden ma
terials, pure and simple, and are none the
less charming for that Velvet, cloth and
zibeline-especally the novelty patterns of
the last-may be used for the sets. whose
chief requirements seem to be an extreme
FITNESS. This is accomplished both by a
fussy little cut and by ornate methods of
trimming.
Numberless are the means employed by
the smart woman of small means to obtain
effects at the least possible cost, so to her

Ornaments in Favor for Winter Hats.

Buckles and similar ornaments are more
favored than seemed likely to be the case
at the beginning of the season; but they
are only really priced when of a very hand
some sort. Rhine pebbles and finely cut
steel, mounted in enameled metal and cut
jet, have the lead. l have also remarked
that one or two miliners are trying to re-
vive taste for gold gallons but so far
have only seen it applied to white or beige
colored feltS.
