a heavy winter wrap they are not suf1i-
GENTLY warm for comfort in wintery days
out of doors Consequently the woman
who values her health must consider, along
with her separate blouses, some kind of a
Jacket to supplement their lack of warmth.

chilla skins are especially scarce, and only
those which show the velvety markings
are approved With some of the smaller
made-up sets there is again a tendency to
employ milliner trimnings-laee falls, rib
bon ruches, rosettes, etc, with the ends of
the neckpiece treated with fussy grace of
ribbon. Many of the long boas finish with
a single great tail, rosette of lace and
an artificial rose showing in some cases
at the left bust.

Such boas will again be worn to a great
extent around the shoulders, mantilla fash

distinguished the shoulder portion of a
splendid boa in silver fox, the fronts of
which had quite mantilla grace, crossing
at the waist, where black and white ro-
settles were placed.
Dressmakers' use of broadtail this fall Is
quite remarkable. This tender and silky

a rich white lace blouse, the waist finishing
with a deep girdle of apple-green silk and
chiffon. The lining of the skirt fiounces
was also in this rich green, each fiounce be-
ing finished at the inside with pipings of the
chiffon. At the front OF the charming little
jacket were placed rosette ornaments, built
over the old-fashioned wooden button

These in turn were set in a nest of white
lace.

Of all this the effect OF the little toilet was

So, for the greater part of the feminine
world the report is worth only the satisfac-
ton of knowing what fashion is doing with
this precious skin, which without lace and
color has an elderly air. Countless ''old

Variety of Trimmings.

Two methods of trimming stand out as
simple but effective for the flannel shirt
waist. One is a winding line of fagoting up
and down the front of the blouses and the
sleeves. Starting just at the side of high
chemisette neck. 1t extends straight down
to within two inches OF the waistline. There
It turns with a wide curve and passes
straight UP to turn again at a point on a
line with the original starting point. From
there 1t runs directly down and loops up
under the arm. The other trimming Is a
narrow wash braid showing coin embrold-
cry. This is employed to outline the open
ing and yoke Of the blouse.
Cashmeres, mohairs and a crepe flannel
in subtle colorings are popular materials
for the separate blouse not intended for tub
bling. Delicate soutache braids trim them,

No Ready-Made.

Another caprice of the stylish dressmaker
is a rooted objection to the conventional
forms of the ready-made trimmings which
come by the yard. The galloons and gimps
of the shops are cut up and worked over In
a way to seem scarcely recognizable, and
any handmade garniture which may be
evolved from narrow ribbons and velvets is
preferred to the machine-made things.
A little band trimming on gown of plaid

home dressmaking. 1t was made of gradu-
ated widths of ribbon velvet, in the three
shades of violet, the velvets put one on top

This Is especially true Of light waists for
morning wear. Many of the new models
are built In wash material which has mere
ly the semblance of a woolly weave. Even
the popular Scotch flannel is now consid-
cred most desirable when woven in COM
bination with a goodly supply of cotton.

without fleece lining are serviceable ma

100 MINERS BURIED ALIVE
Deadly Work Of Coal Gas in Alabama
Mine
ALL THE MEN BELIEVED TO BE DEAD
CaVe-in at the Virginia Mines 10
Miles From Birmingham, Ruries All
the Men at Work, and No Hope is
Entertained That Any Are Left
Alive.


Birmingham, Ala, Speciality an
explosion in the Virginia Mines, about
is miles southwest of Birmingham, at
4 o'clock Monday afternoon more than
100 union miners are entombed, and il
is believed that the entire number suf-
fered death. Scores of vigorous res
cuers are at work digging into the
mine to relieve their friends and COM
rades on the inside.
The explosion-is believed to have
been caused by gas, although the mine
has heretofore been noted as being
entirely free from gases. 1t is also
believed that as the entire quota has
probably been killed, the details of the
cause of the disaster will never be
known.
THE HORROR GROWS.
The news spread like wild fire
throughout the whole district. The
camp is isolated from the rest of the
world, as there is no telephone station
at Virginia, and the only wire running
to the place is a dispatcher's wire of
the Birmingham Mineral Railroad, on
which Virginia is located. Details Of
the disaster were slow to come in, but
each man who arrived in the city from
the scene told a more grueSome story
Of the horror.
BEST CLASS OF MINERS.
The class OF miners employed was the
hest in the district, and all belonged to
the United Mine Workers of America.
Since the strike has been on in the
Birmingham district, many of the most
Industrious and thirty miners of Pratt
City and other mining points have re-
moved to the Virginia mines, so that
the mines were being worked to their
full capacity by the most skilled min
ers of the community. Relief trains
with and workmen were dis
patched from both Birmingham and
Bessemer.. They began the work OF
succor in earnest before 6 o'clock, and
at midnight had not gotten half way
through the mass of debris. 1t is
thought hat it will be 10 o'clock to-
morrow before the interior of the slope
is reached. The slopes are we'll ar
ranged, and there has never been the
least trouble in the mines before. They
are owned by the Talamada steel and
Wire Company, but are leased and OPP
Grated by Reid & Company.
OFFICIALS ON THE WAY.

inspector for Alabama, will go to the
mines early tomorrow morning to in
vestigate the disaster officially. Presi-
