the skirt presents the appearance of being
fashioned with cores. Around the bottom
are three broader folds stitched I'm the
same manner. These help to hold out the
considered smart at present.
The striking feature of the bodice, which
Is very simple and made with regard to
future Tubing, is the daintily embroidered
yoke. English eyelet work makes solid
round yoke coming to the shoulders. and
this is further decorated with medalHons
of coarse white net upon which there is
more handwork. One medallion comes in
the center, another on each shoulder. and a
fourth in the back. They are not over
three inches In diameter and are finished
by the embroidery extending over the edge
and the underlying linen being cut away.
smaller medallion is placed at the
throat, half of it coming over the coarse
net stock and half on the yoke. Tho
yoke reaches down the front In a deep
point, and there is an inch-wide band OF
trimming outlining IL entirely. This ia

points on either edge. and showing feath-

into folds and ornamented with n medallion
in the front. Full plain sleeves are gath
cred into the arm holes and instead of a
cuff the fullness is drawn close to tho
arm by means of solid tucking running
fro mthe wrist almost to the elbow. Around
the hand is seen the same trimming that
finishes the outer edge of the yoke.
There is a point in the back OF the

narrower there than in front, IS ornamented
with double row of small pearl buttons

Thieves Steal an Inaugural Gown.

Mrs. Samuel Smith. wife of the United
States consul general at Moscow. Russia,
visited police headquarters in Hoboken. N.
j., Saturday and told the chief that articles
of clothing valued a about s., 600 had been
stolen from her trunks. Mrs. Smith ar
rived at Hoboken on the KronprinZ Wilhelm
on Wednesday last. She had crossed the
ocean to attend the inaugural ball at WASH
ington, and she brought with her a, gown
which had been made in Paris expressly
for the occasion. The waist of this gown
is among the missing articles, as is also
a valuable boa.
Mrs. Smith was met at the pier by Sem
ator Proctor of Vermont, who had a let
ter from Secretary Shaw extending to Mrs.
Smith the courteses of the port and waly-
ing examination of her baggage which con-
sisted of four trunks. When the trunks
had been taken from the hold they were
put on hotel bus and conveyed to Man
haitian. Mrs. Smith said that after she
had taken luncheon at the hotel she went
to her room to get a sable boa, but she
failed to find 1t. Mrs. Smith made further
search, and discovered that a number OF
other things were missing. The missing
boa is valued at 81 go.

Ivnching Feared in Oyster Bay.

So incensed were residents of oyster Bay,
L. L., Saturday, at the murderous attack of
Henry Johnson, a negro, upon DIR. Louis
Keyser early that morning that to avoid
any chance of lynching the prisoner was
taken under strong guard to the county
Jail at Mineola. Johnson, who Is known as
Diamond Dick" from his habit of wear
ing big, glittering stone on Sundays, is a
great admirer Of President Roosevelt, and
II Is believed the purpose Of his attack
upon Dr. Keyser was robbery, to enable
him to attend the inauguration, as he had
been unable to borrow money from DR..
Keyser and others for the purpose. Officials
at Mineola assert that Johnson was ar
rested several years ago in Port Jefferson
in connection with the murder there of
man who had been killed with a Ratchet.
DIR. Keyser keeps drug store, and about
half-past four o'clock Saturday morning
was awakened by Johnson. who said he
wanted some pills. AS the doctor was get
ting them Johnson hit him several times
on the head with q Ratchet. inficting seri-
Gus but not fatal injuries. Johnson was
captured In the store by citizens.

is especially pretty and is best made with
very little trimming. Lace is not so well
suited to the weave of the fabric em-
brodery, and even in the use of the latter
it is far smarter to have the work done di-
rectly on the linen than to have it applied,
as is done in making up batistes and thin
ner tub gowns.
Hemstitched tucks are adapted to grass
linen, or rather the linen is adapted to
this treatment, and drawnwork, if II Is
very fine and handsomely wrought looks
equally well.
Among the most decorative embroidery
designs there are the oriental effects pros
duced by using clusters of cherry blos1
SONS, long stalks of iris, feathery bam-
boo and the lotus flower. In conventional
patterns these may he utilized in hundreds
of different ways and are really the most
successful of any flower effects. Both

Europe for fine grass linens Those who
are fortunate enough to have sets en-
