MT. Vanderbilt and the chauffeur

MT. Vanderbilt and the chauffeur were detained at the police station un- der arrest for some hours.
 When doctors visited Adolfo Butini, the boy who was injured by the au- tomobile, they reported that grave com plications might arise.
 If the child should die or is perma- nently disabled the punishment may be imprisonment for three months and a fine of S200, in addition to a nne for carrying a revolver without permis- sion. It Is believed that considering the extsnuating circumstances, Mir. Vanderbilt may be only sentenced to pay fine.
 The father of the injured child. when asked if he wished to bring suit against Mir. Vanderbilt. not only refused to do 70 but also declined to accept the in- dsmnity due him under the law. Thereupon the judge granted Mr. Van derbilt provisional liberty, and, ac- companied by Mrs. Vanderbilt, he left for Pisa. Before departing Mir. Van derbilt gave so to the local hospital
 MT. Vanderbilt, interviewed at Pisa. refused to make any statement con- corning the accident.

The Princess for Mademoisell.

O course 1t Is draped princess, for the average girl of sweet sixteen would look angular in tightly fitted frock of this style. And we would suggest that Miss Sweet Sixteen does rot sheathe her young form in any stiff cage of steel, but that she affect the small ribbon corset, mere glrdle. This is sufficient to give roundness and neatness to her waist, and does not at all compress the growing figure.
 The frock here illustrated is made of brown voile. the chemisette and frills are of creamy lace. The bodice is quite full and draped in softest folds, the ankle-length skirt is decidedly full at the hem. Two or three chemisette sets should accompany the frock, that this dainty accessory may always be dainty and spotless. If the frock were blue, 1t would be pretty to have one chemisette of tucked pale blue lawn, this with the white lace frills partic- ularly fresh and charming.
 Stockings and shoes must be se- lected with care, for mademoiselle's feet are rather prominent. With the brown frock. brown hose and hronzs slippers would go nicely, and with the blue either black or blue would be ap-

BLANCHE WALSH.

In her new play 'The Woman in the Case" in which she will appear at Polls Thursday evening, Blanche Walsh comes back to her own. Clyde Fitch has provided her role, which will present her as one of the radiant ly beautiful women she has always played until she essayed the character of the besotted Maslova in Tolstofs Resurrection" Her gowns, which are the creations of the celebrated Mrs Osborne of New York, will doubtless inspire the envy and ambition of the wives and the terror of the husbands who attend the opening performance. The character in which Miss Walsh appears is that of an ideal American woman, loving and beloved, but dis playing heroic self-sacrifice when put to the test. The play proved the big gest popular success that the New York stage has known in many years and ran four consecutive months on Broadway at the Herald Square the ater and opened its present tour at the Madison Square theater in the same city where it was first present. ed. Prices are 9, 50. 75c. 500 and S1.50 Tel. 1892. Sale of seats Weti- nesday.

Tba playlet contains a story that does not begin somewhere and end nowhere. like many variety sketches. but Is real ly a eoIfcisely told. well worked ou: plot, with plenty of clean comedy. brisk dialogue. and a big dramatic situation In it. The details of an ac- curate and artistic mounting are pres ent, and the effectiveness of the piece is greatly increased by the carefulness evidenced in the stage setting.

The bolero should always be cut to suit the individual figure; this girl needing to have the waist heightened, that girl needing more kindly curves The bolero is good friend to the slender miss.

Remember These
 Three Things.

A sick stomach is tired and weak First of all, then, it needs digesur4 that is. something to help in the wDfk of digestion. This gives the stomach the rest 1t must have to get well. When the overwork is relieved, nature at once begins to repair, strengthen and upbuild the stomach, and the cure is begun This one ingredient of Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets alone is of priceless benefit to stomach s1f- ferers. The relief to tired stomachs iD immediate.
 A sick stomach is foul, coated with unhealthy mucus which clogs the out lets of the gastric glands. never free from the fermenting remains of the last meal, sometimes of the last two or three meals. A cleansing agent is demanded. The perfect remedy must be disinfectant, both of the stomach and the food. The second vital inere- dient of Dr Richards' Dyspepsia Tab lets absorDs gases. sweetens the stoln- ach. prevents fermentation and ds- stroys polsons that are sometimes deadly, generated by undigested food. So Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets dL gest food and they cleanse the diges tive system.
 Third, they contain tonic. gentle aid to circulation and assimilauon that helps in the recovery of tone in the digestive orgsns.
 Other remedies contained In the tab lets aid in tfe cure by giving comfort ro the sufferer, soothing the irttafed stomach. correcting It's aeidi'v and causing an ageeable warmth and sense of satisfaction after a heerrN meal. due to the restored Circulation of the blood fin the stomach.

The Fashions of the Day

Two features of the styles prevailing this winter we have noted with de- cided approval; the afternoon gowns of fne cloth, and the cloth suits in pastel shades. Days past and present have brought forth multitude of very pretty separate blouses, but there is something about costume, skirt and waist tho same color. that makes for harmony and completeness as the oth- CT sort of toilet does not And we would emphasize that handsome cos tune of fne cloth is about as satisfac- tory as anything procurable in the way of clothes. The illustration pic lures simple model, but one with un- mistakable attention to cut, unmis- takable study of good lines. It Is one of the lavender and dark plum com binations. and trimmed with touches of plain dark cloth edged with silver braid and lavender silk pleating. A small unobtrusive hat fits in well with this costume, lavender panne trim med with purple plume of darker shade, the chemisette is of white silk with tiny frill of thread lace. This gown might be worn almost any hour of the day. 1t is a very good illustra- tion of elegant simplicity.
 The cloth suit in pastel shades is suitable to wear for occasions that re- quire something just short of full dress, and yet some women have been foolish enough this winter to go shop ping in old-rose and light gray-greens. We are willing to admit the lingerie blouse is not impossible when shop ping, but very light broadcloth cer- tainly is out of place. To return to the costume in its proper place, dis cuss the way 1t is made and trimmed -the best have the long circular skirt with seam in front and a wide swing from below the hips. About the hips the skirt fits smoothly, but there is no shape outlining, just an easy curve. It may be absolutely untrimmed, or 1t may have a milliner's fold near the hem. The coat is fashioned very like a mans four-button cut-away; 1t is lined with satin little lighter in shade than the coat material, down tho front and adorning the sleeves arc large pink velvet buttons with silver rim. The hat is an old-rose felt trim med with plume of American Beauty red. Other pastel shades we would speak of, are Chinese blue, Parma vio- let, lettuce green. The blouse to wear with these exquisite cloth suits is the white lingerie over a oolorless slip. Have belt of the dress material.
 Wide girdles are still in fashion, the

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
The Permanent Towering Plants Re- quire the Least Care and in the
 End Cost the Least.

May is the great month in the flower garden, for most flower seeds are planted during the first two weeks in May. The exceptions are those extremely hardy things like sweet peas, mignonette, Drummond phlox. sweet alyssum and California poppy, which may even be sowed the fall before for earliest spring bloom.
 To many people a flower garden means only small inclosed place where chickens end dogs are not supposed to break in and where backache and annual flowers are cultivated. Yet the whol. lot upon which the house stands is, or ought to be, a garden, and the relative importance of the various departments of an outdoor living room are about as follows:
 1. The trees and shrubs near the house and on the borders of the place.
 9. The vines on the walls and porch.
 3. The lawn, free from flower beds.
 {. The informal border of hardy per- ennials.
 3. The annual flowers that fill in the gaps.
 6. The coleus and other gaudy bedding plants.
 The most permanent plants, like the Towering trees. shrubs and vines, are the ones that require the least care. and cost the least in the long run. as compared with annual flowers. the seeds of which must be sown every year. It is human nature to think last of trees. shrubs ani vines. because their first cost is greater. but let us resolve to put all our spare money and strength into the permanen. things this year and depend on the bounty of friends. if. necessary, for flower seeds-WfIhelm Miller.
