FASHION RANCHES.

Chameleon silks. in a simmer oi soft. pale shades. change with every light into new beauty. Each is a com bination of several colors, yet each ia dominated, though ever so slightly, by one of them.
 New corsets carry out the two-tone Idea, being made of lowered brocade and lined with pink blue.
 Handkerchief linen. embroidered by hand, makes the newest and best of the Gew blouses.
 Deeper cuffs are in evidence.
 China silk slips. sheer and cool, ars made to wear under the lingerie 5louses. White, or the palest shades of pink, or blue. are the only colors worn for the slips.
 Silk hopsacking comes in the love Hest shades, and is even more distinct ivs in it's rough weave than pongee But pongee is lovelier than ever, too in new shades.
 Brown lovers have brought not only rich bronzes to the front. but hays brought. in even coppery tones. and those exquisite red-browns in even cop perry tones and early fall. The soft shimmering silks they. are made up iu add to this effect.-Louisyille Courier Journal

FEMINlNELY ATTRACTIVE.
The Tea-Gown a Costume Whose Womanliness Is Especially Liked
 by the Masculine Folk.

That the tea gown has come into it's own again is cause for rejoicing to every member of the sex feminine. Not ouly has this informal style of garment al- ways been in favor with tue gentler sex, but many a man has been heard to de- clare that woman always looks her daintiest and most womanly, best when clad in the graceful. trailing draperies of smart tea gown. We may one and all of us unanimous ly VOW and declare that we dress for our own pleasure alone, that the criticism. favorable or otherwise, of other women affects us not in the least. But, deep down in our hearts. whether we ac- Knowledge it to ourselves or not, a cer- tain respect and liking for masculine ex- pressions of approval exists.
 The new tea gown. as it has come back to us, Is quite different style Of garment from those which preceded it. It is not longer than the old gown, but it is decidedly looser. so loose. indeed, that to the uninitiated just where the differentiation between the tea gown and the negligee is to be made is some thing of a problem. The boundary line is vague, to be sure, but the woman who makes even the slightest pretension of keeping up with the vagaries of Mme La Mode can tell without an instant's hesitation which is negligee and which Is tea gown.
 The characteristic and keynote of the new importatfons of tea gowns is the way in which they cleverly conceal and yet reveal the fascinating curves of the fig ure For the new figure simply must have curves! The Parisienne, even in her most negligee moments, retains her corsets, and she prefers that some little hint, no matter how vague, be given as to the delicate proportions of her slen- der figure
 Hence 1t is that the tea gown Is now invariably constructed upon a carefully boned and fitted lining. Sometimes the doublure Is en princesse, but far more often it is the usual corsage and skirt lining, cleverly joined together below the waistline.-Chicago Record Herald.

Leather Table Covers.

The arts and crafts in this country have brought out table covers of nat ural leather that are most attractive They are stained in the different art greens. three tones of red and also left in the natural tans and browns. They ara used for library and sitting-roOm tables and mon particularly prefer them for dens. There is no attempt to cut ths edges even or to have any appearance of finish about them. They wear for ever and day and need no laundering The most fanciful of them are ilumined in the dull purples and gold of the old missals. This takes great deal of skill but the result is in doubtful taste,-Phil- adelphia Press.

FOODS FOR THIN FOLK.
What to Eat and What to Avoid-If Followed Carefully Will Pro-
 duce Desired Results.

= Ahrs -
 1t follows that, if you Wish to be fat. ter, you must eat freely of those things which are forbidden to the overplump, especially bread. pastry, cereal products of all kinds. potatoes and sweets.
 One great advantage of the system, as already stated, is that it does not require the person who pursues it to make martyr of himself. Though but ter is fattening, one need not give it up. inasmuch as the quantity consumed under ordinary circumstances is small. Sugar is a fat-producer, but g few Jumps daily in ones tea or coffee will not count.
 Sweets of all kinds are great fat pro- ducers, and stout people are apt to be particularly fond of them. In which connection it is worth noting that the use of sugar as food. in one shape or an other, has increased enormously within the last few years. At the beginning of the nineteenth century it was very ex pensive-a luxury, indeed, almost be- yond reach of the poor-but at present IL tN OAC OA lAC SuCoPCoL dI LlCiCS Ol utot
 If anybody who finds himself or her self beginning to get too fat will simply give up potatoes and bread for awhile the tendency will promptly cease. To abandon the latter is hardship-how serious one realizes only after trying it for a few days-but the benefit gained amply pays for the sacrifice. Thin toast. thoroughly crisped, may be. eaten, and will prove consolation
 Prince Bismarck's physician cured him of tendency to obesity by forbid ding him to drink anything at meals practice which. for some reason not satisfactorily explained. seems to have tendency to make people fat.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

ABOUT SEPARATE WAISTS.
Should Match the Skirt in Color, But the Material May Be of .
 Wide Variety.

Separate waists have taken a new lease of life in spite of the fact that it is still the fashion to have waist and skirt of the same material
 The truth is that so long as street costumes are made with skirt and coat to match separate waists will be ne- cessity. There are quite a number of new designs in these waists-some very simple, others elaborate.
 All of the latter are made with fitted Things, and are ot silk, crepe de chine, lace or chiffon.
 CoIored waists are no longer thought smart; they must either be made of a color to correspond with the skirt or white. @.~
 The fashion of two or three winters ago in the shtrt-waist order, worn with embroidered turnover linen collar and cuffs and fastened with pretty studs, is always a good style to wear, with the plain tailor gowns Then, for a more elaborate style, the bayadere-tucked chiffon or tho lace waist with collar and pointed yoke and cuffs of applique work is most satisfactory and by DO means impossibiyi intricate for. an amateur.
 Long cloth wraps are fashionable this winter, both for afternoon and evening wear, and there, are few more sensible purchases for a woman of limited means than smart cloth wrap.
 Black. as we'll as light, cloths are fashionable this season. the smooth satin-fnished cloth, and while a heavy ecru en nbroidery or lace adds to the elaborate appearance of the garment, quite as smart an effect is obtained by the more simple style that has long lines ot braid from the shoulder to the hem at the back of the coat. as we'll as in front.-St Louis Republic.

where systematic torture is

July 6, and was held captive for
three weeks, and was then set at

dazed that he has not been able
to give a coherent account of his
captivity. He was found by a
friend wandering aimlessly about
near the Union Station at Canal
and Adams streets aud was taken
to his home at Downers Grove.
Physicians pronounce his ply
seal and mental condition such
that he may not recover. Much
of the time he raves wildly and,
as though still under torture,
begs for mercy. Marks all over
his body show that ne had been
bound with heavy cords. Over
a hundred dollars he is known
to have had on his person II gone.
Wilder is an Englishms who

FOUND DEAD.
Mrs. Lustef, Wife Of the Telephone Mana
ger al Guthrie, Found in Her Room
Dead Husband Is Missing.

The mystery surrounding the
death of Mrs. Ella Hill Luster,
who was found dead in her room
at Guthrie few days ago, is no
nearer solution than it was when
she was found. The whereabouts
of p. j. Luster, her husband, is
shrouded in equal mystery. The
police have made search of the
surrounding country and have
even dragged nearby streams,
but without finding the slightest
trace of the missing man.
Shortly after the finding of
the body of Mrs. Luster, an in
quest was held by Coroner Bruce,
County Attorney j. r. Maloney
assisting. The verdict of the
jury follows:
"We, the undersigned jury,
appointed to inquire into the
cause of the death of Mrs. Ella
Hill Luster, do hereby find that
she came to her death by a pis.
toll or gun wound IN the hands of
some unknown person."
An investigation of the Luster
home showed that the utmost
care had been taken to prevent
early discovery of the crime.
Every door was found to be lock-
ed and the keys were thrown
away. The windows were tight
ly nailed down and into the tele-
phone receiver had been packed
paper, so that no possible sound
could reach the central office.
The following was sent out
from Guthrie Monday:
Although no positive clew has
been discovered as to the where
abouts of Percy j. Luster, whose
wife was found murdered in their
home, thorough search Of the
house has revealed two railroad
guides of lines in Mexico and
Canada, and it is the general be-
lief here that he has started for
one Of those countries.
He could, it is believed, have
easily gotten out of town with
out creating any comment, as he
was accustomed to take an early
train in going to Trenton, where
he had interests.

LOCAL COAL OPERATIONS
HURT BY YELLOW FEVER.
Scare Causes General DemoraIizatisn
of Business in the South.
COAL MAN SAYS ORDERS AFFECTED.

To one who measures influence
es by miles of space the state
ment that the yellow fever scare
in New Orleans has had and is
having it's effect upon the coal
business of Hopkins county, Ken
lucky, would seem like a dream
of the pipe. Nevertheless, the
facts Justify the statement and
the conditions are such now that
the business interests of this
county are today sustaining a
loss through the falling off in
orders to the coal mine operat-
ors, directly because of the yell
low fever at New Orleans. The
effect here is only temporary, of.
course, but any decrease in coal
orders at this season of the year
is felt more keenly by the opera
tors and miners, because the coakl
business is normally of the MIMI
mum volume.
An operator on the Illinois
Central railroad said yesterday
that business south of Memphis
was more or less generally de-
moralized because of the yellow
fever, the quarantine regulations
and the fear that the disease
might spread beyond New Or
leans. Most Of the coal that goes
from Hopkins county to Mem
phis, he said, goes through the
wholesalers to points beyond, and
this is the trade that has fallen,
off. This is true, both as to coax
shipped to the railroads and for
general use. The railroads are
hampered in their efforts to get
labor to handle coal at the sta
lions where they store large
quantities. Hence their orders
are also curtailed.
The authorities at New Orleans
cheerfully assert through the dis
patches that they are surely get
ting the disease under control
and the rest of the world is watt
ing hopefully.

capital stock was originally s50,0OO,-
600, which was subsequently reduce
ed to sl2,000,000 but later increased
to sl7,000,000. This last increase In
stock was for the purpose OF pur-
chasing the stock OF the Laclede
