THE COARSE LINENS
In Some Cases They Undoubtedly
Have an Advantage over the
Finer Weavcs.

Although the lingerie frocks OF
fashion are made of the finest pos
sible linens, fancy seems to be in
favor of the coarser weaves for
wraps. These support better the very
heavy trimmings SO much in vogue,
and. although they look odd over such
fllmy frocks, the combination is de-
lightful and in the very best possible
taste.
The coarse linens are sometimes
used for entire suits, developed upon
tailored lines. One Of Francis's new
models shows something unusual III
the way of a coat. II is seamless, eX-
cept at the armholes, and follows the
lines of the figure rather closely. The
fronts do not overlap, but they meet
so closely that the bowknot of satin
run under the inlaid collar of MORE
holds them together and below the
waist line the coat is trimmed with
linen buttons. The pockets have
flaps of linen, also trimmed with but
tons. and a row of buttons runs down
the center of the sleeves from Shout
der to wrist.
The skirt is plated all around the
figure, but not in the regular way.
The plaits are distributed in groups of
three, with a wide box-plait in the
center. Around the bottom there is
a stitching of linen, cut after the
Roman key design, except that the
upper part is closed, leaving an open
space between the bands of the de-
sign.
Going back to thin gowns, charm
ing model noted a day ago is of thin
gauze in wide white and blue stripes.

FiIet on Cloth.

Important among the seasons deco
fations are the various filet laces.
They are so open to variety, in fact,
that they are appropriately employed
with cloth, ninon or silk. and where
the mesh is loose and plain design is
usually supplied in heavy floss silk.
When consorted with Shantung, Gin
galese or linon, linen threads take the
place of the heavy silk floss.
Emphasizing the value of the rather
long, full-shaped basqued coat, a num-
Der of models in striped cloth are
shown. AS rule, they are simply
trimmed, principally with clustered
loops of braid, stitched at one edge
only and augmented with crochet silk
buttons, together with heavy festooned
cords and long silk tassels.

THE PRESENT COUTURE
Puffs and Curls Have Not Been Seen
in Such Profusion for Very
Many Years.

On every side one sees evidence Of
the violent outbreak of puffs, curls and
double twists, which constitute the
bulwark of strength in the fashionable
couture of the day.
Curios are no longer the dernier cri.
however, for puffs have usurped their
place and offer possibilities in the way
of natural effect not to be obtained by
any other form of adornment They
can be bought separately or in clus-
tiers.
They require very little skill in ad.
justment, and any one with an idea
of harmony OF line can make them
look as though they grew where they
are placed The beauties of Charles
lis reign had a great advantage in
the couture of that period, which con-

but not since then has there been a
more flattering couture than that Of

looked up at me for moment in dull
surprise. Then slowly, as if a mask
had fallen over her face. an expression
of horror and insensate fury disfigured
her beauty She rushed to the door;
she shook 1t frantically; she beat on
it futile blows.
What does it mean, this locked
door," demanded Forbes of me once
more.
1T means that DR.. Starva. the ally
of this woman, for some purpose of
his own, has imprisoned us here"
answered calmly. Even you Captain
Forbes, will not accuse me of fasten-
ing the bolt"
He turned from me in contemptuous
silence. 1T is only question of few
hours at the most" he said reassuring-
ly to Helena. AT dawn we can at
tract the attention of some one from
the street. In the meanwhile we must
be patient"
IL am thankful that you were able
to make your way to me-" said Helena
brokenly. 1T would be dreadful 10 be

My words were arrested on my lips.
Madame dc WARMER had abandoned
herself to her despair. AS spoke she

fixed me with a glance of warning.

Forbes side with a rage that was
dreadful in its intensity.
Before | could guess at her purpose
she had torn my coat open and seized
the packet | had placed there. She
pressed it into Forbes hand. Her bit
ter rage and disappointment made her
oblivious of the fact that she had
given only one of the packets.
Take it," she screamed. Take 1t!
All, NJ. Coward, you are clever, but it
shall avail you nothing. At least l
shall have my revenge"
Forbes buttoned his coat over the
papers he had received with an
amazed but grim satisfaction. Helena,
standing apart from us, was convul-
sively clenching and unclenching her
hands. Unseen by the other two,
cast her a meaning glance that she
should exert her strong will to regain
her poisc. When they looked at her
she stood passive and acquiscent As
for myself. | affected an air of chagrin
and defeat.
You will bear me witness, Miss
Brett, that / did my best to place the
packet in your hand. can only hope
that Captain Forbes will restore you
those papers without reading them. or
that they are of little importance"

papers we'll; your ministers at Down

lose them. And now, M. Coward, that
you have conquered me. but not rob-
bed me of my revenge, how much
longer are we to stay here?'
Captain Forbes showed little sur
prise at the turn affairs had taken.
He interpreted Madame de WARMERS
move as that of one who had be-
trayed a confederate for motives OF
revenge. While he recognized the
fact he mistook the motive.

"And they speak OF honor among

Helena.

an indignant protest. But she said
nothing. l supposed her silence die

With these words he strobe toward
the door of the staircase, and turned
the handle.

received it from me he glanced mean

Panic at Shiloh

Alarmed by an epidemic of scarlet
fever which has broken out in the
Holy Ghost and Us Society colony, in
mates are making efforts to escape
and the State authorities are threat
ening another investigation.
1.-THE leaders of the colony have
cabled "Elijahn Sanford, the founder
of the new religion and his colony,
who is now in Palestine, to hurry
home at once, and have intimated
that if he does not obey the summons
he may return to find his colony con-
sisting only of few leaders who be-
cause of their prominence are able to
ignore the rigid discipline of the place.
One of the former members of the
colony, Miss Sarah Wilson, who at
tempted to escape few days ago, lies
in hospital with one leg broken and
probably internally injured.
A few have succeeded in escaping
from the Hill Top reservation since
the outbreak of the fever, but many
who have tried to get away have been
captured by the guards.
People all through this section OF
the State who have no sympathy with
Sanford or his methods have been
talking of taking the law into their
own hands if the State does not soon
take action.

Gypsies- Brown-tails.

The greatest discovery of gypsy
moths ever made in Maine has lust
been unearthed by the field force OF
the State Agricultural Department
having in charge the determination
and control of gypsy and brown-tai
moths in Maine. This was at Cape
Neddick, York Beach, where last
week a settlement of about half
million gypsy moth caterpillars
were found. The infested territory
covered about three acres and it is
estimated by the gypsy moth officials
that had it not been discovered it
would have cost the State at least
$500, 900.
The settlement is one that evident
ly has been going on for two or three
years but how it got started is ques-
ton. The only solution seems to be
that the moths were originally
brought there by Gypsies who annu-
ally camped at a point near where
the caterpillars were found. These
Gypsies came from infested states and
probably brought the moths along
with them.
Captain E. E. Philbrook said that
Une gypsy noun ana brown Uall mOtf
situation in Maine was serious one
The browntail moths are now flying
and are being found in large numbers
in the vicinity of Portland. This fact
means that vast amount of extra
work must be done this winter and
the coming spring in order to keep
ahead of them and preserve the foil
age from becoming ruined.
The gypsy moth situation through
out the infested sections of the state
is also very serious one, the word
very" not adequately expressing the
seriousness of it, Captain Philbrook
declared.
About September / both the state
and the government will send out
scouting parties looking for nests and
from that date on hard campaign
will be fought against the pests.
