Killed Crippled Woman for $11.

Two men, who have been under arrest
at Philadelphia, Pa, for three weeks on
charges of robbery, confessed yesterday to
the murder of Clara Mcconnell, a cripple,
whose body was found on February -, in
a refuse pit in the stable yard of the Union
Transfer Company. One of the men Is
Harry Norris, who was arrested at the
Pennsylvania Railroad station charged with
stealing overcoats. According to report the
men met Miss Mcconnell on the street
while she was intoxicated. They furnished
her with drinks from flask and inveigled
her into a side street after learning that
she had s1l in her stocking. Being unable
to secure the money in any other way
they attacked her and beat her into insens-
Utility and then took the money. Believing
they had killed the woman they carried her
to the stable and threw her into the pit.
Whether she died from the effects of their
blows smothered in the refuse will
be determined by the coroner's inquest.

some truth in the statement, If a lady s

that she Is still alive. For months she lay

constant application day and night for
months of a spring bandage. One nostril
was originally larger than the other, so
she wore a small sponge in it for a year.
Her cheeks have been filled out and round

months were compressed against the sides
of her head by springs, while heavy
weights were attached to the lobes to pro-

suffered this complicated martyrdom for a
year, the lady, as already stated, is now

A quaint story has been lately recalled
of a duchess who had entertained ia

Summer fashions are really worn and
tried out in the winter season. and by the
very best-dressed women in the various
countries to which the rest of the world
looks for hints. No sooner is the gay social
term fairly launched in town than the first
of the years fittings begins. In America,
in France and even in England the smart
set hurries away to southern resorts to es-
cape the rigors Of the cold season, and nat
urally the feminine part of the summer eli
mate hunters must be clad in accordance
with the temperature of these delightful re-
sorts.
Thus 1t happens that in the dead of WIN
ter summer gowns and accessories are
turned out in large quantities and in even
greater magnificence. And the novelties
that are approved and commented upon by
these well-dressed women furnish the key
note for the following spring and summer
styles for the rest of the world.
In way 1t is like the theatrical trying it

Otherwise they may be built upon exactly
the same lines. with the same particular at
tention given to details and elaborateness.
For an example of q charming summer
costume which has won distinction even
among a wilderness of beautiful creations
the above model is offered with every conf
dence of renewed and continued admira,
ton for its lines and motifs. The material
is white Valenciennes in an all-over pattern
in which flowers and scroll effects predomi-
nate, with a careful retention of the much
desired cobwebby appearance. The entire
gown is mounted over a soft weave of white
taffeta, and the foot of this underskirt is
trimmed with mass of white chiffon frills
that make the gown look like a floating
cloud as the wearer makes her way across
the hotel piazza or steps daintily into her
smart cabriolet.
In invisible manner the skirt is ar
ranged with graduated fiounce OF seal
Hoped lace that matches exactly the pattern
of the rest of the gown. There is no full
ness whatever in this part of the skirt
merely a circular appearance is impaired,
and the juncture of the fiounce is concealed
under an elaborate ornamentation of heavy
white linen embroidery. This handwork
takes the form of large garlands of roses
These are massed in the front from belt TO
hem, with the design growing much wider
as it approaches the bottom. Here 1t bends
and begins to traverse the bottom or the
skirt. forming itself into an effective border
that decorates the fashionably long train
The gathers of the skirt are held under
wide crushed girdle that is round at the top
and makes a deep point below. The bodlce
appears to be solidly incrusted with hand
some embroidery. When this word Is used
it is not done with the intention of convey
ing the idea that the lace foundation Is so
heavily embroidered that it has lost its imy
character. The work is made effective ana
rich without being weighty. The bodice rep
resents slightly fulled blouse, very simply
brought into the top of the mauve liberty
girdle and fastened to a round yoke me
raised linen flowers on this part of the gown
suggest a bolero with very slight open
space in the pattern as 1t runs down the
front. The yoke is shallow in front and
comes to the tops of the shoulders. 1t Is
made of two circular strips of mauve liberty
satin arranged in tiny quillings, which are
separated by rounded strips of lace, upon
which is an ornamentation of mauve liberty
satin. These take the form of tiny rosettes
having lace centers. They are put on In two
rows so that the ornaments alternate, and
three additional ones trim the front of the
bodice.
The high stock and upper part of the yoke
are of lace upon chiffon lining. The sleeve
is of Valenciennes. shaped into a full short
puff, finished above the elbow with three
