issued a public appeal to lady visitors

from wearing long skirts. This appeal

Leopold Fuchs, the keeper of poul-

Relics of Roman Occupation
Decial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-The work of ex-
cavating at Newstead fort on the bor-
der of England and Scotland, has re-
Gently brought to light many interest
ing objects from the period of the Ro-
man occupation.
A most valuable collection of pieces
of bronze armor was taken out of one
pit, and, best of all, very fine Roman
helmet decorated with embossed figures
in high relief. They are all objects of
the greatest rarity, and in wonderful
preservation. The helmet has an in
scription punctured on the rim, prob
ably an owners name, but it has not
yet been satisfactorily deciphered.
Mr.. James Curle, who is preparing an
article for the Scottish Historical Re-
view describing the discoveries, thinks
the Newstead finds may ultimately
form collection of the greatest arch
geological value, as illustrative of the
life of the Roman frontier.

LEGACY DEPENDS ON THEFT

PARIS, Aug. A curious lawsuit
is now occupying the attention of the
Paris courts. Some years ago wealthy
landed proprietor in the Pas de Calais
department died and left substantial
legacy to his servant. Three years
after his death fifty Austrian bank
shares which had belonged to the de-
ceased were sold in England. These
were traced to the servant-legatee, who
appears to have purloined them from
her masters safe. The woman was
prosecuted and condemned for theft.
Now the dead mans heirs, who suf-
fered financially from the theft, are
asking that the legacy to the dishonest
servant should be declared void on the
ground of the ingratitude evinced in
robbing the testator.
The legal problem is whether the
robbery took place before or after the
death of the testator. The defense says
that 1t took place after the death and
that, therefore, there was no ingrati-
tude shown toward the deceased, as
Immediately he died his property
passed to his heirs. Judgment has yet
to be given.

In the scandal. which has overwhelmed
many leading Bavarian families with
grief and shame. The root OF the whole
evil appears to be a fashionable club at
Munich which is nothing less than q
gambling resort of the worst type
Heavy losses have ruined many promis-
ing young officers of the Bavariar
army, as well as numerous young
noblemen and members of the civil SER
vice. Some of them, unable to face the
disgrace of rot paying debt incurred at
the card tables, resorted to all sorts of
swindles to secure sufficient funds to
enable them to continue attendance at
the club.
Others committed suicide to escape
the consequences of their folly. The
suicides include Count May Preysng,
who was unable to pay gambling debts
exceeding $500,000.
Prince Francis Joseph of Bavaria,
who was accustomed to play at this
club, is implicated in the scandal owing
to the fact that a number of officers
forged his signature to promssory
notes, whereby they obtained sums of
money by fraud.
Investigation have shown that sums
up to $3.50, 900 have changed hands with
in the club i'm one night. Some unscru-
pulous members resorted to systematic
card sharping in order to fleece mex

PARIS, Aug. 4-The exodus from
Paris to the seashore is in full blast.
Paris is taking with it to Normandy
and Brittany its gayest cotton and
lightweight cloth toilettes, it's prettiest
parasols. it's daintiest costumes de balm.
so that wheresoever it pitches its tent
there will be brilliance and beauty.
Fraise, that soft rendering of straw
berry red, is as fashionable a color as
it can be now, and shows up with ex-
traordinary luminance against the
sands on hot summers day. The par
asol that accompanies it, if it be in the
first rank of novelty and modishness, is
composed of frill after frill of shaded
fraise silk, so cut that the petals of a
flower are suggested, and when the
sunshade is unfurled the effect pro-
duced is that of huge rose, or a big
double geranium.
The most extraordinary efforts in
millinery are left behind in the capital,
but there are specimens OF headgear
that are the height of '-iginality and a
daring travesty &C what is usually
called a hat. One model is nothing but
a handful of long-spiked leaves like
those of the iris starting from a cluster
of cabbage roses. True, a veil is worn
draped about this apology, which may
perhaps be understood to represent the
part usually played by straw. 1t is

Plaids, always so much seen at the
French watering places, are this sum-
mer threatened by very doughty and
important rival, the striped material,
which has been rendered for the seaside
in very supple and clinging cloths, as
well as in organdy muslin, and in a
stouter cotton fabric called tea cloth.
Still, there are plaids to be seen, made
of zephyr and cloth in the newes. and
softest shades of puce, cherry and
lavender.
Bathing Dress Fashions
Bathing dresses translate the fashions
of everyday life into those devoted to
the sea, and we find in consequence the
bolero a great favorite upon the
pouched bodice and the croselet robe a
frequent resource, always, of course,
with a shortened skirt. Deicately
pretty light weight flannel. mohair taf-
fetas and serge costumes prevail, made
charming by means of strapped silk
trimmings, Killed frills anC sashes with
fringed ends.
Peignoirs for the PLACE to be worn by
bathers are very voluminous and most
cosy. Even though the weather has
been very hot lately, molleton and
Pryenean wool have in a number of
cases been chosen as desirable fabrics
for the naturalization of such wraps.
OF course, gaily striped bath toweling
wraps are in vogue; it Goes not need
much persuasion of the imagination to
picture the comfort and beauty of a
peignoir made of woolen cherry and
white silk stripes, lined with soft silk

Simplicity is triumphing over elab

concerned, but how fine are the en-
