NOTES FROM ST JOHNS,

A very large congregation was pres ent in St Johns church, Sunday morn ing, at the annual visit of the Bishop of the diocese. The bishop preached a very able sermon and confirmed a class of 20 persons. The singing by the choir was unusually good. After the morning service the bishop bap- tized the infant daughter of the rector, Rev J. K. Plumb.

and is specially smart for evening and
day wraps of an elaborate character.
Very smart is a long, loose coat Of
white astrakhan cloth lined throughout
with soft white satin and trimmed in a
novel fashion with wide strappings of
white kid stitched in fine lines. These
strappings of white kid form a yoke
shaped trimming on the shoulders and
also cross the coat at intervals in
front, where they fasten with dome
shaped buttons of mother of-pearl and
| silver. The sleeves are very full and
strapped with kid at the wrist, while
the roll collar may be turned up or
down, as preferred. A really beautiful
hat designed to be worn with this coat
is of soft white felt made in a large
shape, with a high crown and wide
brina. The underbrim is of long haired
beaver and is lifted off the hair by
knot of orange mirror velvet. Draped
around the crown are knots of the vel

on the side with a buckle of steel, which

ribbon with long, floating ends. On the
other side is a paradise bird with
sweeping plumage shading from deep

usual animation and gayety.
Carriages and motor cars
whirl by in rapid succession. convey
ing elegantes to the shops in the Rue
Rivoli and Rue de la Paix, and every
where there is evidence that the gay
capital has come into it's own again and
that the season is about on" One is
glad TO be at home once more, and the
shopkeepers and walters are overjoyed
to see familiar faces and to feel that
life for them has begun again. The
couturieres are ready for the grande
rentree and are certainly putting
forth every effort to please my lady.
A cynical male critic has said. IF the
proper study of mankind is man, the
proper study of womankind is dress"
and by dress I suppose he means van
fly, which is the masculine interpreta-
ton OF this feminine besetting sin. But
the question is still an open one as to
whether dress is vanity or an eternal
sense of the fitness of things that is
part of the inheritance of every woman.
And If she did not have this faculty of
making herself attractive what a hue
and cry there would be in another di-
rection, for If beauty is only skin deep
actual. neglectful ugliness, which a lit
tie study of the laws of dress will over
, come in most cases, strikes into the
bone.
Every woman is expected to do her
sartorial duty, and the daily question
that confronts her is how she is to
come up to requirements and meet the
increasing rates and taxes and probibi-
tive prices OF clothes without having to
resort to the expedient OF breaking the
bank at Monte Carlo. Let me say that
one round of the smart dressmaking
establishments has reduced me to this
low moral tone. They simply bubble

found that this master has smiled upon
the three quarter coat for walking and

The dainty figure is the desire of

A romance which began on a football
field three years ago will eliminate We'd
nesday evening, December Z. in the we'd
ding of Miss Ruberta Louise Sleight, a
belle of Moline, ILL.,, and Cyrus Edgar
Dietz, formerly captain of Northwestern
universities eleven.
Deitz was captain of the Purple football
eleven in 1901. He played right guard and
at the end of the season was selected a
member of the All-Western eleven for his
excellent playing. During that year Miss
Sleight, who was visiting friends at Evans
ton, attended a football game at Sheppard
field.
Deitz distinguished himself by his play
ing and Miss Sleight, who was football
enthusiast. applauded the work of the Ev-
anston team. At a reception given to the
football players a few days later Miss
Sleight and Mr.. Deitz met. They at once
became warm friends Friendship turned
to love, with the result that the announce
ment of their engagement was made a
short time ago.
Mr.. Deitz entered the Northwestern law
school and after completing the course
was admitted to the bar and is now prac-
ticing law.
The wedding will take place at O'Clock
next Wednesday evening at the Manufac-
turers' hotel at Moline and will be fol-
lowed by large reception.

groundwork for many elaborate home
dresses. A gown of rose, cashmere is
extremely smart made with fine box
plaits around the hips and a scalloped
trimming in plain and fancy braid at
the base of the skirt. The bodice is
cut bolero fashion in front, with one of
the new braid belts, to which is affixed
a rounded off basque adorned with
scallops of braid. The long revers are
decorated with a curious painted pat
tern chenilled over. 1t looks like
stamped velvet. A crossed velvet waist
coat is a feature of this gown. The
ceinture is of velvet finished with a
large bow behind. Garnet and gold
buttons lend their decorative aid to the
creation with most decided chic.
Perfectly stunning was a rich Grim
son cloth ornamented with bands of
caracal, which threw into relief the ro-
settles of crimson velvet with which it
was trimmed. The bodice was OF the

PAY FOR THE JUDGES.
Each One VIII Receive Two Checks
for His Work.

Judges and clerks of the recent
bond election may kick" all they
please on the amount of money which
the city allowed them for their work,
but they can't complain about the lib
crafty of the city in the matter of
bank checks. Every judge and clerk
will get two checks for his services.
The checks are duplicates, and every
man is entitled to two of them.
When it was supposed that the
council would allow the judges and
clerks % per cent of the regular cleo
ton fee for counting the ballots, City
Clerk Squires went ahead and drew
the checks on this basis. Then the
council overturned the committees ac-
ton, and allowed so per cent This
made it necessary for a duplicate of
the first set of checks to be made.
There will be AZ judges and clerks
who, under the SO per cent arrange
ment, will get S1.26 apiece; so judges
and clerks will get $1-76 apiece; 20
will get $2.26 apiece and five will get
S2.76 apiece. The FIVE who will get
the $2.76 are T. J. Hurley, a. 7. Potts,
J. 7. Ward, c.. NJ. Hargreaves and j.
A. Grubbs, who served in the second
precinct of the Fifth ward. 1t is a
little remarkable that the second of
the Fifth should have the largest vote,
as IT has not been heretofore one of
the big precincts of the city. In the
last election. several precincts cast
more votes than did the second of the
Fifth, but the people down there seem
to have all voted on the bond ques-
ton.

The new fur things are really charm
