Fashion Notes

American Beauties and roses In the
faded shades are the favorites.
The green's are prominent both in
millinery and froclls and many new
shades are shown.
For a separate skirt in dark blue or
white serge or mohair the sun plated
model is particularly good.
An attractive gown in pale yellow
mousseline de sole was made with side
plated waist, while the skirt was sun
plated.
An especially chic model hat shown
by a celebrated milliner was a roll
brim sailor tilted forward, as are all
such sailors this year.
The hats are eccentric. One must ad-
nit that, but the eccentricity lies in
the combination of head and hat,
rather than the hat itself.
One needs masses of fluffy hair,
charming face-and youth-to wear the
new hats well, and unluckily that COM
bination is not SO common as one could
wish.
Every style of costume from shirt
waist dress to ballroom gown may be
accordion or side plated, and in every
material from chiffon to cloth is it
attractive.
Walking hats of fine straw, trimmed
in broad scarfs of plated straw, sup
pie as ribbon, and combining many
lovely shades, are among the French
hats, and are distinctly practical as
we'll as pretty.
If, in many instances, there is intri-
cate elaboration of detail, that detail
is at least made to blend into har-
monious whole and only upon close
scrutiny is the complex nature Of the
scheme evident.
The small turbans are worn also for
dressy hats. A dainty model was made
of white maline covered with tiny
orchids in pink and mauve. A. small
white ostrich feather and q white
aigrette trimmed one side.

AN IMPROVEMENT IN the Ak.

Besides being the instrument on
which is based one of the most inn
portant industries Of the country, the
woodchopper's ak now takes its place
among the physical culture accessories
of the gentleman's home. The visitor
at the suburban house may occasionally
see a shiny, nickle plated ak, with a
hand painted and highly polished
handle, reposing behind the vestlbule,

Lamps and Candles.

Candlesticks and lamps made OF
glass after the old models are very
welcome after the long period we had
to endure the china and gilt banquet
lamp with ballet girl skirt shade.
When fitted with empire shades to
match the color scheme of a room
they look extremely well, The glass
candlesticks are especially good for
table decoration and when surmount'
ed by colored shade make a table
very attractive.-Utica Observer.

Polly and Carrie were very happy.
Mother had decided that they were to
have lessons at home during the win

To-day was geography day.
Polly had the pretty globe that
mother let her buy with her birthday
dollar. and Carrie had the lovely book,

Uncle Will had given her. Mother was
allowing them to use her folding sew

An English barrister, arguing before
the Criminal Court, says Answers, re-
marked with much solemnity to the
presiding Justice:
"My lord, there is honor among
thieves"
The Justice looked at him severely.
"There is gold in sea water" he re-
piled. "But it cannot be extracted In

James Mcbride, we'll known stock

snake the other day and only his pre-
sence of mind saved his life. He drank
a 20-pound pail of milk and then came
to Trinidad for medical treatment.

Who Could Blame Them?

A Paris newspaper relates an amaz-
ing story, which most people will prob
ably regard rather as an example OF
the ben trovato than Of strict fact.
According to the story, an automobile
proceeding from Nantes to Rosny met
a herd of fifty horses being led to a
neighboring fair, and stopped so as not
to cause stampede. But the horses
seem to have instinctively recognized
the rival of their species, and without
more ado set on the machine in body,
kicking it to pieces. The chauffeur

The lawyers engaged in taking testi-
mony in the Jackson-Smith Congress
sional contest have finished theground-
work for Mr. Jackson in Somerset and
Talbot counties and were to begin in
Queen Anne's county at Centreville on
Monday. Other dates arranged were
Snow Hill, Worcester county, on We'd

Friday; Denton. Caroline county, and
Elkton, Cecil county, on February 20;
and Cambridge Dorchester county, on
February ~. 1t had been arranged to
take testimony at the last named places
on last Friday but when the lawyers got
there they found that. on account of the
Snuw-blockcd roads, the Summonses for
witnesses had not been served.
Mr.. John G.. Rose. counsel in chief for
Congressman jackson, when asked if
the evidence taken $50 far had measured
up to what he had expected to prove

disfmnnchised through the operations Of
the election law as administered in that
county.
$50 rigdly was the law construed that
there were hardly any ballots actually
counted to which either side could OBJ
ject. Except in Crisfcld, ballots were
rejected unless they were folded in ex-
actly the same way as when originally
given out, although it has heretofore
been the practice to pass those ballots
which were folded so that the intent Of
the laws were observed-the names and
marking being concealed and the in
dorsement and the coupon being on the
outside.
