A NEW SHIRTWAIST BOX.
Made of japanese Mating and Bam-
boo and Decorated with Or
namental Circles.

Shirtwaist boxes are articles of such
practical value and there is so much
demand for them that they may be
had in many different varieties of style
and at prices to suit pocketbooks of all
sizes. In addition to those of orna-
mented wood, which are quite expen-
sive, there are cheaper ones, covered
with burlap, chintz or cretonne, and
even those covered with wall paper,
the most reasonable of all in price, are
not only equally practical, but quite

novelty is shown in the ILLUSTRATION.
1t is fashioned from fine quality of
Japanese mating and framed in bam-
boo. It's distinguishing note is the
front decoration, in the form of disks
of oak, very thin and in forest green
hue. There are four of these orna-
mental circles, and they give just the
dash of color required by the neutral
hued mating and bamboo.

CALICO SHIRTWAIST SUITS
Very Dainty and to Be Highly Recon-
mended If One Can Face
Laundry Bills.

There are shirt waist suits this year
made of calico of the variety which
comes at considerably less than ten
cents yard. They are very dainty, and
If one can face the laundry bills with
out embarrassment they are to be highly
recommended for the summer wardrobe.
Calico comes in buff, brown, blue and
pink, and of course there are cream
colored calicos and ginghams of cheap
grade closely related to the calico
family.
Five pretty shirtwaist suit patterns
are suitable for any material. One has
the blouse waist fastened invisibly and
trimmed with little groups of wash crys-
tai buttons. The skirt is many gored
and trimmed with a ripple round the
foot, with the top of the ripple trimmed
with buttons and wash ribbon.
Another is the surprise waist, and this
could be carried out in lawn, chiffon
taffeta and all the other nicer materi-
ais. 1t folds across the front, and is
trimmed with shirred ribbon design
The skirt is laid in tiny gathers at the
belt, while the foot is trimmed with a
more elaborate design in shirred ribbon.
Three shirt waist suits are made, re-
spectively, with yoke and panel front;
with skirt into which fans are intro
duced and with skirt built plain on
the hips and with flare round the foot
All three have foot trimmings such as
stitching, braid, bands or wrought de-
signs, and there are shirt waist suits
which are made with the redingote in
view. They are plain, and designed to
be worn with a redingote.

WESTVILLE-NEWB0LD.

Last Tuesday at noon Captain Harry
Snyder, OF Westville, was the owner of a
team Of work horses, and at night he had
none-both having been killed, one by
veterinary surgeon Kirby, of Woodbury.
at noon, and the other later in the day, by
citizen. The horse first killed was mad
and while in the stable had bitten his mate
to such an extent that it also was killed by
order of the veterinarian. The facts lead
ing up to the unfortunate affair are these:
About two months ago mad bull dog ran
through the town, swapping at everything,
and was known to have snapped at this
horse, but was not known to have bitten
it, On Tuesday morning when Mr.. Sny-
der S man went into the stable to feed the
horse, it made dash at him with open
mouth, and so furious was it that the man
was afraid to pass out the door, near which
the horse was tied, but climbed ladder to
the loft and jumped out of an upper door.
Mr.. Snyder went out and even gave the
horse medicine, but finally had to get away
from it, SO furious did it become. Forum
ateiy Mr.. Snyder escaped without heing
bitten. Then DR.. Kirby was sent for and
as soon as he opened the stable door the
horse made dash at him, its mouth all
afoam. The doctor saw what was the trou-
BILE, and securing Ed. Addison's pistol, shot
it in the forehead, and it dropped in its
stall. Its mate was then examined and
found to be so bitten up that the only
safety was in its death The loss to Mr..
Snyder is considerable, but his escape from
serious injury is almost provdential.
