Do Men Like Clever
Women? OF CoUzse

A woman who has been visiting In
London says e,oropos of her experiences
and observations in the English capital.
THE other day a placard outside sta
toners shop caught my eye. for in big
letters diagonally across It were the
words DO Men Like Clever Women?'
1t is very funny, how eternally that
silly question Is threshed out. OF course,
they like clever women, would be very
silly if they didn't, and especially the
woman who knows how to economize
eleverly, who, when the Stock Exchange
Is stagnant and things generally below
par, knows how to keep things goinl.
without making her husband feel acutely
the difference. And where does the elev-
er economist tell out more than in mat
ter OF dress? The brainIess is generally
the e1trayagant woman-doesn't know
how to adapt this and that and the 9TH
er thing; doesn't know, for instance,
how with some inexpensive ready made
thing perhaps to coatriYe a charming
costume

Nes0 Design in
Shirt Waist Sets

The general tendency in this season S
shirt waists is toward concealed faster.-
ings. In order TO show in its entirety
and show to best advantage the fiorid
embroidery on the front, most of the
blouses close either in back or under
pleats On the left side. The cavalier
cum. deep, snug fitting, and heavily
embroidered, has also done away with
the narrower and more plainly finished
bands around the wrist.
These changes in shirt waist fashions
have initiated against the dainty sets
Of buttons. cuff links, studs, etc, which
have been popular for several seasons
past. But for the Business woman and
the tailored maid the severe shirt waist
on mannish lines remains popular, and
by contrast is more effective than ever.
These women insist upon something &
new in shirt waist sets. and they are
so numerous that it has paid the trade
to bring out some fetching novelties
for the summer Of 1905
The Washington times., 1905-05-06

We have seen parrot heads on sun
shade handles before, and they are
sometimes very effective, but this year
bird heads of many kinds are intro
duced. and some of them are lovely In
modelling and coloring. For example.
there was upon one costly white lingerie
parasol a stick of cleaning white end
ing in the curving neck and head of
swan with golden beak. Natural color
ings are followed in these birds heads
when they harmonic with the parasol
material but the designers set nature
at defiance often and evolve birds OF
delicate shadings never seen on sea or
land, but most effective on sunshade
handles.
Flower Spray Handle.
Another novelty is the handle orna
n1ented by a flower spray arranged
much as are the cherries that have for
many seasons decorated umbrella ham
dies Of cherry wood. 4 parasol OF heavy
green taffeta has q smooth green handle
matching the silk and terminating in a
bali OF the wood.
The ordinary little ruche of the silk
is set around the stick just below the
clasp and above the handle, and out of
i apparently grows the stem of Il
thistle spray lying carelessly along the
handle, as the cherries do upon the
cherry handles. The leaves, stem, and
part of the blossoms are in shaded
greens, and the top of the blossoms in
the purplish blues of the thistle, but, OF

POOR COME TO CHIEF
MANY APPLICANTS FOR COAL AND
 WOOD.
ORice of Head of Police Department Filled with Unfortunates Not Prepared for Sudden Ad-
 vent of Winter.

The sudden advent of winter was nowhere more apparent yesterday than in the office of the cheif of police of Montgomery.
 Within the sanctum sanctorum of the head of the department for law enforcement, there was a cheery fire burning and the grizzled old chief started his day full of good humor and happiness. But from the time, he seat ed himself in his swivel-chair, Chief A. s. Gerald had his hands full answer ing pleas for coal and wood from those Montgomerians who are not for tunate enough to have the wherewith- al to fill a fireplace.
 Time and experience has taught these people that the best place to re- ceive succor was in the office of the veteran chief. Year after year he has collected donations for coal and wood for fuel and medicine, to supply the needy ones of Montgomery and when ever he has had the material to SUD- ply the wants. he has never been found wanting.
 But yesterday, he like the sufferers from the icy blasts of AeoIus was un- prepared. He had not made a can vass for supplies and many was the bleeding heart that left the police sta tion with the words ringing in their ears. "I wish had something to give you but we haven't any coal and wood"
 There were probably fifty of these mendicants who made application to the chief. They ranged from the old negro nanny" who had been down with scarlet fever" to a pair of little girls in white summer clothes who wanted some wood for their mother.
 Inside the office 8 big fire glittered in the grate and often the sufferers hung suspiciously near the blaze for a goodly length of time. But outside the north wind was blowing.
