pliqued three lace medallions, the middle
one being about twice the size of the other
two. Above the apex of each triangle Is
another large lace medallion.
Instead of the usual decollete bodice a
very short coat is worn with this skirt.
This is of pale-blue messaline laid In
slightly developing folds across the bust,
where the right side is gathered into two
points and held against the left side with
two beautiful jeweled buttons.
Just below, where the coat fastens over
the left side, it is cut away toward the
sides so that it forms very small point

back in two long tails. The draped mes
saline coat is supplemented in front, where
it is smartly cut away, by pointed pieces
of blue embroidered mousseline, with fig-
ures worked in white and green to match
the pattern of the skirt.
The points are cut off square cross the
bottom and are outlined with fancy
guimpe
Showing between the coat fronts is a
crushed girdle of green chiffon velvet This
is shirred down the middle in a sharp
point. The tails OF the coat follow the
design of the front, that is, they are made
to curve down from the waist in points

messaline. not embroidered. show others
handworked after the fashion of the front.
Turning back at the slightly cut out neck

come in point on the bust and slope up
to end at the shoulder.
The sleeves are puffs, shfrred into both
seams to give a mousquetaire effect. They
end at the elbow under a band of blue en-
broidered messaline.
This is deemed the modish length for all
evening sleeves, except for fashionable balls

Veteran Judge Dead.

Former Federal District Judge Henry W.
Blodgett died yesterday of old age at his
home in Waukegan, Ill. Judge Blodgett
was born in 1921 at Amherst. Mass. He
was closely identified with the building of
the first railway line between Chicago and
Milwaukee. and later became the general
attorney of the Chicago and Northwestern
railway. He was a member of the sanitary
commission during the civil war. While a
member of the Illinois legislature Judge
Blodgett, as chairman of the senate
judiciary committee, originated and put
through a bill giving married women con-
troll of their separate property. 1t was the
pioneer legislation of that kind anywhere
in the United tates, and has since been
universally adopted in almost every state
in the Union. In 1892 Judge Blodgett re-
signed from the bench to accept an appoint
ment by President Harrison as one of the
counsel for the United States in the Bering
sea arbitration.
