A DIAMOND sMUGGLER's TRICK.
That Worked a Heavy Loss to the
Customs.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
One of the customs house officials was
recently In reminiscent mood and enter
periences with smugglers. The exploits re-
lated chiefly to bringing diamonds into the
country. He said:
I'm all my long experience 1 have never
come across a device that equaled in in
genuity and effectiveness the scheme en-
ployed by a certain gentleman who sue
ceeded on various occasions in bringing
over 100000 worth of precious stones in
to the United States without paying one
cent in duty on them.
This fellow was connected with num-
Der of large diamond concerns both in this
country and abroad, and went about his
trade with a GOODNESS and confidence that
surely nobody could be suspicious Of
Upon reaching New York on one of the
ocean steamers he passed through a rigid
examination by the customs officers who
were aware of his interest in the diamond
business. Their efforts to find concealed
jewels revealed nothing and the man was
not detained.
Nor did anybody think of suspecting
him when he sailed on the next outgoing
him to New York. To insure his complete
comfort on the trip over he secured his old
stateroom.
Several of the mans business friends
passed approval upon the little room in
which he babe them farewell When the
ships ropes were loosened the friends
waved happy goodbye from the dock to

falling short enough to display elaborate
under ones. Handsome embroideries are
used on these coats, sometimes in con-
trasting colors, sometimes in the tint of
the coat, and the whole cut of the better
garments is very dashing.
Lace Draperies.
With all these loose wraps lace wells,
draped fussily about the hat brim and
falling behind in becoming cascades, are
much seen. Often the veil and the hat
are in the same color, stylish and eff
fective scheme when the tint is one suit
ing the wearer especially well.
But in carrying this out hydrangea
blues had better be avoided by pale
blondes, as well as light shades of red
gray. For such persons a black veil
is always best, and the new lace ones
with their rich borders and floating
ends have a Spanish air vastly becoming.
These wells are so feminine and coquet-
fish in quality that the wearer falls into
the same weaknesses when sporting

perfectos In some uncertain latitude and
more uncertain longitude, the New Workers
were busily engaged In dspOsing of q fine
assortment of diamonds that had been
transferred to their keeping from an I'M
provlsed safety vault in the little state
room. Even the ships captain or the gen.
uemen whose duties were concerned with
sweeping stateroom floors arranging beds
and busting the paneled walls. never sus-
pected that the passenger had cleverly
loosened a panel In the wall OF the room
and had succeeded in concealing the SNUG
gled goods behind 1t.
He was so confident OF the deception
that he did not have the slightest fear in
leaving the jewels In their hiding place
during the two weeks during which the
vessel remained at her New York dock
The man performed these maneuvers
as many as five times before the treachery
of one of his confidants finally brought
him into the hands of the law. 1t may
be interesting to know. though. that the
man is still very wealthy in spite of a term
in prison. His trips to Europe however,
have become less frequent"

manner born. 1t Is very difficult to be
hard and matter of-fact in soft and wo-
manly raiment, and only to wear one OF
these wells and carry a little carriage par
asol that bends at the handle Is to be
created over again.
So, with the summer fading, pluck We
roses while We may. Years may come and
go before we are again soft in dress,
and we may soon even have cause to re-
gret the period that has lowered so pref
tily. In a very few weeks more the last
rose of summer will be in the garden. and
then goodbye to floating frivolities, for
autumn styles, 1t is predicted, are for the
most part to be plainly tailored.

Best au Naturel.
Cucumbers are best au naturel, but for
those who like them cooked the following
method is to be recommended: Peel. cut in
two, remove the seeds, place the cucumbers
IN dish and cover generously with salt
Let them drain for couple of hours. Each
piece is dried carefully and rolled in flour,
thrown into boiling fat and fried a golden
brown. Drain on butchers paper and serve
very hot.
In the majority of families eggplant is
cut in slices and fried, but much more
wholesome fashion is to peel the eggplant,
cut it in rather large pieces and soak in
sailed water for awhile. Boil in the regu-
lar way and when drained mash through a
sieve and arrange in baking dish with
bread crumbs, sprinkling of salt and
pepper and dots of butter. On top put a
layer of the crumbs, with dots of butter to
make it brown nicely.
Sweet potatoes are best cooked in the
good old southern style--that is. first boiled
and their jackets taken off, and when cold

lightly with graduated sugar, put in an
oven and baked

a glimpse into the prosaic American home

The new French pompadour nets in floral
figures lend themselves admirably to dinner
frocks If a little band of princess hair
cloth is inserted into the hem of the drop
skirt it will insure the flare which dlsun-
guishes the new skirt. Velvet ribbon
bands with lace is much used on the POM
padour nets, and should be just trilie
deeper in tone than the Powered figure.
If a silk dress is carried it should have
detachable accessories of lace, such as
bertha, yoke, vest or half sleeves. These
things will pack much better If they are
separated from the gown. The tiaring 1870

special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. July IS, 1904.
No more bold surprises may lie expected
from summer fashions, but there are still
many details, valuable and otherwise, to
discuss in the Book of Dress Take the
founces and the frll aloue-surely their
numberless phases are in themselves
enough for chapters. The sentimental quail
tiles of the undersleeve and the chemisette
might fill book, and the various forms of
the modish neck fixings compose an epic.
The Importance of the neck arrange
ment of a smart toilet is enormously con-
sidered here, writes a Paris correspondent.
Always IL carries out the genre of the
costume. and the ways of tying the little
cravats worn are almost too many to be

is a bushy square bow of lace, net. tulle

rent. 1t gives wonderful dash to a gown.
