Paris, Dec. PA midwife living in
the Vivienne quarter has been arrested
on the charge of the systematic mur-
der of newborn infants. The atten-
ton of the police was attracted by the
fact that no deaths of children were
reported from the establishment and
an investigation resulted in the dis
covery that the midwife, with the COM
plicity of the servants, had cut up
and burned the bodies of children in
big stove in the dining room of the
midwife's residence The evidence OBJ
tained indicates that 12O children were
murdered by the two women.

Gold lace is also used to border and deco
rate the taffeta cushions, but for cottage
or summer house bed rooms the white lace
seems more appropriate. For the same

The lid Is covered with a fat piece en-
broidered or trimmed with insertion as are
the pincushions and edged with a founce,
or, more often. two or three f1ounces grad
uated In width. The bottom flounce is
wide enough to cover the sides of the box
entirely when the lid is down The top
nounee usually Is finished with a ruching
OF lace which stands up all around the box
ana rails over the top. The top as is also
true of the pincushions, may be trimmed
with rows and rows OF narrow lace edgin9
gathered in. The boxes are also covered
with the heavy linen and trimmed with eye
let embroidery, but a founce Of finer linen
usually borders the lid. The most fetching
boxes are made Of the light coored taffeta
the Lid being covered almost entirely with
lace Insertion or edging, the very center
being ornamented with a wreath basxet
or bouquet of ribbon work
Another most attractive wav Of making
the toilet things is to sh!rr the taffeta

lids only q small round plain space which
serves In the cushion for pins In the
cushion round piece OF Valenciennes n
placed over this center, and broad vaien-
cfennes ruffie borders the cushion In the
box there is the same valenciennes rune
around the edge, and In the middle a chou
OF Valenciennes Is used.

80 complex and intricate are the
fashions for this season that many
a woman Is tempted to give up in
~ despair over her summer wardrobe
when she realizes the hundred and
one details that are considered requisite to
what Is called the smart appearance of the
costume. The colors must all blend, or, II
there be contrast, 1t must be carefully
chosen, the materials must be in keeping,
and then, besides all this. there are so
many extraneous things. as It We're, that

man or woman who thinks that clothes are

ustion.
There are so many different sorts OF
gowns also that are considered absolutely
essential for a complete wardrobe that
naturally the task OF selecting them all is
a burdensonle one, and If there ever was
an excuse in this world for a woman to
look conceited 1t is when she has attained
the accomplishment OF this feat and knows
that she has everything in order for the

doubtedly last for years still, for a

and pale tints employed, as anything
heavy snowy would be distinctly unat-

Ptncushions and other dressing table Mt
tings are also being made of two weights

ion and thin linen for the ruffie, or heavy

so dainty and attractive that II is not ex-
traordinary that they are most popular
and that womankind finds them most ailur-
ing. The gown itself may be pretty and
smart, but nothing else, and not especially
noticeable, when by the addition OF some
one of these attractive little articles 1t Is
at once transformed into a noticeaby
smart and most effective costume. gown
OF last year made of taffeta silk or
wolfe can be made to look quite like new by
the addition of some smart little lace or
embroidered coat, wrap or ruff. while the
new gowns are not injured in the least by
having just such little outer garment to
slip over them in case the day be cool
enough to excuse IT.
French women are especially fond of at
tractlve neckwear, and in fact an excusa-
Bile expense in their minds Is the accumu-
letion of an endless variety of ruffs and
boas to be worn with different gowns. All
summer long whenever there Is a possible
excuse for so doing fur is worn made up
with lace or in some novel arrangement
of which there is not much fur required
and yet sufficient to be becoming. Small
neckpieces OF sable and ermine are IN
fact not often put away for the summer
season, but are left out where they can be
had at q moments notice. In America
the fashion has grown of late years and
al any Of the summer resorts where the
days and evenings are likely to be cool
fur Will be seen again this year, although
1t Is not safe to say the fashion will be-
come universally popular, as there are so
many chances that there may be continued
hot waves, which. while they last. make
the very thought of fur or anything so
warm seem quite impossible.
Most attractive and becoming the
fancy boas aad ruffs that are so univer-
sally worn this year; made up In colors
that match the gown or in black and white,
there is an immense variety to be found,
some of which are very durable and others
equally expensive, If not more So that are
more perishable. The full plated ruffs
made of malne net tulle are not very
durable, but they are so becoming as to be
very fashionable They are made either
on a straight piece OF ribbon or pointed at
the back as Is most becoming, and the
quantity of tulle used varies that Il is
possible to buy very full ruche or one of
medium size. Some of these rufus are much
thicker at the back-others have the mate
rial evenly distributed One and all are
finished with long ends of satin or velvet

combs. and though she still makes occs-
sional use OF them, she no longer cares to
have them greatly in evidence In the new
est style OF hairdressing the comb has taken
the place of the abandoned rat" and -
kept as carefully out OF sight. AS for the
circle of combs which not long since deco
rated every feminine head, its very COM
monness has been the cause of it's bantsh-
ment
When the comb does form a visible part
of the couture II is both beautiful and strik-
ing. The reintroduction of the empire
model of hairdressing has opened the way
for the quaint high comb OF the same pc
Rod. The large Spanish comb. OF which
the empire is a modification. is also in
vogue.
The combs usually made OF tortoise
shell, curiously fashioned. and artistically
ornamented with gold and Jewels. One
handsome comb is mounted in gold and set
with turquoise, matrix and pearls. Another
is set solidly with rows of brilliants. Sull
another of jasper shell, which Is a lighter
shade of tortoise she'll than the ordinary
variety, displays a latticed band of gold
picked out with diamonds.
All of these combs are costly. but to meet
the popular demand there are excellent
limitations to be had at a moderate price.
A favorite style for ordinary wear is plain
tortoise shell comb pierced at intervals with
paste diamonds Stimulating nail heads. These
high combs It should be noted, are de-
cided aids to the proper adjustment OF the
modish tip-ttlted hat
When a comb of this kind Is not used
fancy tortoise shell pins are sometimes set
here and there to keep a puff or braid In
place. These are chiefly of horseshoe de-
sign, and occasionally when the hair ~ ar
ranged in a French twist 1t Is fastened
down with two or three such pima set ono
above another. Another way OF securing
the twist Is to set long, narrow comb
down its entire length.
