NEARLY ASPHYXIATED.
c. Lausr Of Woodstock Blew Out Gas At
Bardwell House.

Rutland, Sept &C. Lauer of
Woodstock was nearly asphyxiated
last night at the Bardwell house by
blowing out the gas. Mr. Lauer re-
tired to his room at 10 O'Clock and T.
j. Lalor, the chef at the hotel, in pass
ing through thelhall detected the odor
of gas. 1t was traced to Lauer's room
and as he could not be aroused, it was
necessary to break open the door.
He was found lying in bed in an UNI
conscious condition except for slight
pickering of his eyelids. He. was re-
moved to place where plenty of
fresh air could reach him, and he was
resuscitated without the aid of ply.
siciap. Mr. Lauer rapidly recovered,
and except for feeling of nausea,
was as we'll as ever.

there are fixed number of trimmings,

we'll let alone. First of all come
the fiat strips of the material itself,
known as strappings, and then on their
heels follow all the strappings of con-
trasting material. And then there are
ribbons and galloons and braids to be
laid on. For a raised trimming the
leading one is the ruche, then the frlll,
and after them comes the bouillonne.
Rouleaux and cords play their part IN
a smaller degree, the latter being usu-
ally incorporated with the garment 1t

II will tell you, then, In few words
the character of the three men who in
habit these rooms. The lower Of the
three is Gilchrist, fine scholar and
athlete: plays in the Rugby team and
the cricket team for the college and
got his blue for the hurdles and the
long jump. He is fine, manly fellow.
His father was the notorious Sir Jabez
Gilchr:st, who ruined himself on the
turf My scholar has been left very
poor, but he is hardworking and in
dustrious. He will do well.

icately colored embroidered lozenges in
hole work.
You know one does go here in Paris
in secret to the Bon Marche for little
sartorial knickknacks. The other day
found something that will prove boon
to the summer girl. This treasure trove
was half dozen bolts of different har-
monizing shades of ribbon, each con-
tanning six yards, just enough to make
I'D into the girdle of the hour, with its
bretelles over the shoulders and long
ends in the back. For wristbands, ro-
settles and hat trimmings Paris fashion
prescribes six different colors in silk
ribbon-for instance, two shades of he
liotrope taffeta ribbon about as broad
as ones hand and four of shot lilac and
green of the same width and quality
cleyerly made into waistband. Such
ribbon trimmings are to be found in or
ange, brown, old fashioned pink, porce-
lain blue-which, by the way, is the
color Of the season-and in the new
shades of red called fraise, cyclamen
and eosine.
A stunning belt that comes mighty
near to being girdle is made of wide,
soft, sheer silver braid that takes on the
color it is lined with. In this case the
lining is an exquisite shade of pale
green ribbon and the buckle and inde-
scribable something all shimmering
with green and silver. Indeed. it really
has almost moonlight effect.
Ribbons are certainly becoming genu-
inc works of art. The old purled edges

For the moment the summer fan in
pompadour shape takes the lead, which,
being interpreted, means that the CEN
ter of the fan is longer than the sides.
Some of these pompadour fans are
mounted in ivory and others in pearl.
When of ivory they are painted with
garlands of flowers in their natural col
orings. There is a novelty folding fan
which is sure to be appreciated by the
feminine world. This fan is OF ivory
and folds in two. the joints being just
below the mount, so that 1T can be heid
in the palm or be slipped into chate-
laine bag. The Japanese have intro
duced something of the kind. but not on
this exact plan. A fan guard is another
novelty 1t is made of white leather,
with a gilt CLIP 10 attacH 10 Tic IAN az
the end and buckle to regulate the
size of the loop when the leather is
about the wrist.
The fastidious Partisan is just as
particular about the corset worn under
a gown as about the creation itself,
and the summer models are the dearest
things the makers have yet turned out,
and so comfortable and cool! The ma
terial is heavy openwork net shaped
with the greatest skill with boning COW
cred by narrow, heavy white satin rib
bon. Binding and trimmings are OF
satin ribbon To be sure, they are a
costly translation of the ordinary open
work summer corset but what matters
trifie more or less in this age of sar-
torial extravaganza?
