An Indian up country paper tells a
curious tale. A rich lady, With her two
children, both infants, was going, 1t Is
said. in her own "ekka" from Ramna-
gar to place in the center of the Bar
tract. The driver was a trustworthy
tsrrant Of the. family, and it was for
Ibis reason that the LADY hGd not di-
rested herself OF The ornaments she
usually wore. But the sight of the
jewels was too much for him, and at
an exceptionally lonely spot in that
lonely country he suddenly asked his
mistress 10 hand him her yaluables
On her suspectins his real designs ana
hesttatins, the miscreant showed him
self in his real colors and made her
and her little ones. who could barely
roddle about. get down. The horrible
thought that was working In his brain,
that of hiding his crime by means Of
murder, hnd given his face n snrdonic
look, which made the poor woman
tremble.
Then the fend bound her hand and
foot and Informed her that he would
first Kill her children and then do her
to death. BY her earnest entreatles she
prevailed over him to begin with her
first. He had an M in his hand. with
Which he aimed blow ut her; but,
the head being loose, 1t flew away and
fell few PAGES off, the handle only re.
naming in his grasp. He stepped into
the grass to look for 1t and disappeared
behind mound. She waited, her GER
tain doom with all her nerves OH the
strain. She gradually. fell into a
swoon. and when she came round the
first thing she saw was her husband
bendins over her and her babies crying
and Juggling Mt her clothes.
After she had gone, nameless un,
easiness seized her husband. He could
not'reason away his vague fears, try
as he would. andsat last he mounted
his horse and followed the "ekka." He
had proceeded but a few miles when
the. sight Of his wife and children lyins
bound up with cords upon the ground
met his eyes. And the story that his
Wife told him concealed his blood with
horror. They. both. then, drawn by an
irrepressfble curiosity, went toward the
direction that THE niscreant hid taken
to pick UP his az, and think OF theii
surprise when they saw his corpse al

we'll be cneapened and the style se- cured for very moderate outlay in one of the new chiffon velveteens with silver or gold embroidered lace bertha taking the place of the jet and diamonds.
 For the evening gowns 1t is notice able that chiffon is dismissed from fa- yor, and soft satin, velvet, and vel. veteen have it all their own way.
 Leather belts hay yielded some measure of their popularity to belts of silk elastic, which buckle at the back and buckle at the front, and ob. tain in every conceivable tone.
 The variety of blouses does not abate, and a new and attractive one made of lace has bretelles of soft silk, edged with tiny kilted frills.
 The plainest of the shirt blouses has broad tucks on either side of the cen ter box plait, edged with little frill, and it is made of nuns yelling and oriental satin, while the more prodi- gal choose 1t of the double width, best quality, white crepe de chine. It lacks novelty, perhaps. under any circum. stances. but it is extremely comfort. able and useful to wear beneath the tailor.made coat of our daily delight.
 The stout woman would do we'll to have her shirt-blouse made to fasten down the back. while the slender may fasten 1t in the front, but it is more possible under the former conditions to regulate its lines to conceal the too exuberant curve.
 Talking of exuberant curves re. minds me of one of the latest styles in hats; these are tightly covered with black satin. with scrolls doing duty as a brim cut into four equal sections. It is entirely picturesque, if somewhat too peculiar for my personal taste, which inclines rather to the small folded toQue or beaver, with a glace crown and a bunch of cocks feathers at on eside; but the most attractive thing in feathers is the outspread os- trich feather. this being extremely broad with a waving tail an article of luxury and considerable grace.
 But to return for . moment to the trfnes of costume. and to chronicle some elaborations in veils. The latest show triple rows of tiny silk fringes, while others of fine Russian net are bordered with chiffon traced with a design in fine chenille. and the spotted blonde with the kilted bor. der still floats its attractive length from many of the most modern crum. pied up toques.

If. as now seems likely. the solici- tors opinion should support the ac- ton of the South Carolina authori- ties in thus inducing immigration to that state. it is quite probable that other southern states will send agents to Europe for the purpose of soliciting immigration. It has been shown that the agent of South Caro- lima did not offer the immigrants po- sitions in his state. but only in a general way demonstrated to them that they would have DO difieElfy in obtaining employment

After repeated warnings, the re- vival of the Empire and Princess dress is . recognized pleasure of our social existence. I write pleasure" though, of course, am quite conscious that should the all-in-one dress be chosen by the young woman, there is scant chance of much pleasure ensuing when we come across the two in close union. However. that is de tail I will not contemplate, but with my usual optimism rampant I will as- sume that it is only the woman who should. who does wear the straight, tight frock. And there are many in- genious methods of suiting this to the
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-11-23

figure, the all-oneness of the cloth be- tng assumed. and not entirely 'genu- lne. The nature of cloth or velvet renders it possible to insert seam at fhe waist or below it along the front, pn the hips, and shaped to the be- roming outline at the back, stitching khe bodice on to the skirt in the least Dbtrusive manner; and thus may be attained the advantages of the Prin- ress dress without its sterner disad. santsges.
 On the other hand. the Empire dress Is becoming to most people; So that the stays be modified to a straight squareness and . disregard of any ob- vious waist, the moderately stout woman will look almost as well as her slim sister. The newest form of Elm pire dress which is extremely pretty. has the short belt ideslized into a bodice. which crosses over al the back. the shaped ends returning to tie in the front with small pendant sassels. This draped bodice seems to be cut in enc with sleeves which slope over the shoulders. and although 1t caDnot be justly written down as entirely typical of the Josephine gown. yet it is undoubtedly a modifi- cation making exclusively for ele- xance. and as such will be welcomed with enthusiasm.
 Amongst the popular colors for evening wear is gray. light silver gray. and I have seen this under its most extrsvsgsnt aspect in ore of the new rhifon vslvets. made into the Prin- cess style. with a bertha of white lace. traced with a design Of diamonds and jet Bat szch costume might
