Paris. May 4.
The most successful and apparently the most
popular form of short jacket is the Empire
veste. One example is little, round, fitted
bolero. reaching under the bust and with a far
ing extension just long enough TO cover the
waist line Paquin is one of the grands cou-
turiers particularly fond of this model, and he
generally adds wide revers of antique linen and
embroicers the sides of the jacket. The latter
is cut with short sleeves and generally worn
with a princess skirt
Although the short skirt is fashionable now,

The trotteur is the practical gown intended for
the morning. or, for what its name indicates,
walking. But the short. round skirt. is worn
at every hour Of the day. and when one hears
that short skirts are fashionable this is the skirt
that Is meant II is very full and haring at the
hem. and is cut barely to clear the ground,
showing only the soles of the shoes.
Short skirts are going TO make footgear more
prominent this summer, and daytime shoes come
in almost all colors, certainly in all shades Of

Vernissage, as a fashionable function Is. OF
course. quite out of date but strangely enough
there were remarkable number Of smart cos
IuIleS worn on the opening day Of the salon
this year. Some Of these were elaborate short
Skirt costumes and some were trailing Empire
robes, and, while none of the spring fashions
were neglected, these seemed to be the two most
prominent. An odd form Of Empire gown was
arranged about the body in small tucks Over
the shoulders was double pelerine, which
crossed in front and continued in the form of
one small rufle about the figure. just a bit above
the waistline. This gown was in pale grayish
blue chiffon cloth with the pelerine and ruff
fes of velvet. The idea was on the lines of an
Empire vest, but the effect was gained by ap-
plying the trimming to the gown itself.
CIRCULAR SHOULDER CAPEs.
The colors in favor now seem to be Of two
kinds, bright, strong cOlors such as Sake blue
and currant red, delicate shades suclHas silver
gray mauve and soft tan. There are a lot of
shades Of pink, and more that run from pink to
red. Contrary to what has boen generally ex-
pected, the vogue for Empire gowns has not
entirely destroyed the liking for fitted habits
and in any assembly of we'll dressed women
several examples Of the habit gown are sure to
be seen. At Vernissage was worn a handsome
tunic Of golden brown silk, embroidery on net
of the same shade over gown of brown taffeta |
The tunic, which reached barely to the knees, |
was slashed up one side where it evidently fast
ened, for there was no opening in the front or |
back It was cut out to show a square yoke Of |
cream lace and had no sleeves beyond little |
extensions which broadened the shoulders. The |

RETURNS AFTER
THIRTY YEARS
INDIANA PHYSICIAN WHO DlSAp.
PEARED LONG AGO COMES
BACK HOME.

LadOga, Ind, March 22.-Dr. Byron
Mahoney, who disappeared mysterious
ly in 1873 and was believed to have
met death many years ago, came back
to his old home here Yesterday, his
mind blank. He cannot remember a
single thing that has occurred during
the thirty years he has been absent,
and is unable to realize that he is no
longer a young man and the father of
baby boy. His wife obtained a di-
vorce long ago and took another hus.
band.
In 1878 DR.. Mahoney was one of the
most promising young physicians in
this section of the state. His home
life was ideal. Then the young physi.
clan strangely disappeared. Far and
wide the relatives and friends search.
ed. Every we'll or ptfall and the
streams and woods for miles were
searched for the body. Days passed
into weeks and weeks into months
and the search was continued.
Young Wife Waits in Vain.
ratiently the young wife waited and
hoped and prayed for the return OF
ths husband. Five years passed and
the family became convinced that the
missing man was dead. John Ma
honey, father of the physician, spent
small fortune in the search of his
son, but at last gave up in despair.
Then Mrs. Mahoney went to Union
City, Kan. Believing that II her hus
band was not dead she had been de-
serted, she resorted to the courts and
obtained legal separation. Later she
married again and is now the mothe,
of six children.
Saturday a well dressed man, with
hair sprinkled with white, apparent
ly in good health, stepped from train
at the I.adoga depot. No one recog
nized him and he looked about in com
plete bewilderment. The man inquir
ed for DR.. J. C. Mahoney and was TAX
en- to his home.
| John Mahoney was finally convinced
that his long missing brother had re
turned. Then came the discovery thai
the mans mind was an absolute blank
as far as the past was concerned.
| Can Remember Nothing.
! He could tell nothing of where he
had been. He did not even know
where he had boarded the train. He
seems entirely unable to realize the
great changes that have been wrought
during his absence.
Almost the first request was to see
his "little boy tot of two years
when DR.. Mahoney disappeared. DR.
Mahoney seemed unable to understand
that his "little boy" is now man.
DR.. John Mahoney will keep his
brother at his home and give hin
treatment in the hope of restoring his
mind. The only statement that throws
any light upon his condition is the
ore he frequently makes. my heat
hurts" His hands are white ant
smooth, showing that he has perform
ed no manual labor recently. Many
ere inclined to believe that he MAY
have been confined in son e asylum.

A DIRECTOR
President Of Montana Railroad Elect
ed to Board Of the Chicago, Mil

1T CAN MEAN BUT ONE THING
Confirmation Of Reported Sale Of
"Jawbone" to MiIwaukee-Creat
Northern Survey.

The election of Richard A. Harlow,
of the Montana Railroad, as d.
rector of the Milwaukee, mean just
one thing-that the Milwaukee has
bought the "Jawbone." 1t may, in
fact, be taken as final confirmation
of the report of the deal given through
these columns some time ago.
More About the Plans.
Commenting upon the latest devel-
opment in the situation, the Great
Falls Tribune says:
Information received from Chica.
go confirms previous statements that
the st. Paul, or the Milwaukee, as the
people of the west prefer to call it,
has acquired the Montana Railroad
the "Jawbone" line running from LON
bard to Lewistown, and will use a por
tion Of it for the main line to be built
through Montana. This confirmation
also brings the report that r. A. Har
low, president of the Montana Rail
road, has been added to the board Of
directors of the St. Paul, or the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Of Mon
tana.
I'm the west the new road which is
to be extended through Montana Is
popularity known as the Milwaukee,
while in the east it is called the st
Paul The officials of the road pre-
fer to have it known and referred tt
by the latter name.
"The latest information is that the
road will cross the Missouri river neal
Evarts, S. D., and will then practically
follow the Grand River, cutting across
the southwestern corner of North Da
kota and going on to Miles City. From
the latter point the route will be al
most due west to a junction with the
'Jawbone' some distance east of Har
lowton, and that road will be used tt
