The Debutante's Gown.

Since simplicity Is the keynote of the seasons fashions and maid and matron alike are following this latest trend of fashion, there is little difference in the designs of costumes worn by these young
 CT members of society. Practically the only difference in their opera toilettes is the absence of jewelry in that of the de- butantes. She may wear string of pearls n simple neck chain or a pretty pin, but none of the brilliantly attractive jewels with which the matron is privi- legged by rules of fashion to adorn herself. These fashionable pailletted nets which make such brilliant, scintillating trimming for simple costumes, make up In meas ure for the absence of jewels In the de- butante's toilette. This very simple cos tune, imported for single appearance at

There is absolutely no forgiveness for soiled neckwear or torn wells in these days when both wells and neckwear are to be found at such attractively low prices
 It looks as though the tyranny of the pocketless dress was to be overcome by the ingenious manufacturer who has in troduced a clever pocket in his silk petti- coats. This is not the oldtime pocket, that was located somewhere upon the hip. No, indeed-for with the present style of dress the pocket upon the hip

grand opera, Is of gray net over satin of the same shade, trimmed with velvet ap- pllques and sequins in Paquin blue. There is deep facing of gray satin at the foot of the skirt above which the appli- que and sequlns form deep border. The sleeves, bodice plastron and skirt panel of the pallletted net are in one piece. Above the sequln decoletage is guimpe of finest white net top lace, three frills outstanding on net foundation A band of dark blue velvet with jewelled slides is worn around the neck, and the long gloves are white suede.
 UIira-fnshionabIe Opera Attire.
 Decolete costume of rich silk or satin, brocade, chiffon or lace faultlessly ar ranged and ornamented coiffure, a pro fusion of beautiful Jewels. and we have picture of the fashionable box patron of grand opera. This beautiful creation which comes from a Paris salon for one night at grand opera is of white chiffon with printed velvet borders In pompadour design and colorings, medallions of lace and pailletted net dividing the. two bor- ders of different widths. The medallions also trim the square necked bodice. sash of the velvet border starts at the waistline in front beneath an oval buckle of rhinestones, is draped over the shoulder to give added width to this part of the figure and apparently diminish the size of the waist, and brought down to the top of the high white satin grdle and secured there with another jewelled buckle. This sash is lined with chiffon and the ends finished with medallions The sleeves are very short and simple. The coiffure and it's ornaments are fashionable and artistic.
 For Opera Matinee.
 Opera matinee and evening opera are two different things so far as the dress ing of society Is concerned. Neverthe- less one sees some very stunning novel, ties at these daytime performances which are very much worth while from fash ion viewpoint. For instances, the pie tured coat and nun of lace and chinchilla, brought over from Paris especially for the opera season Dy young society matron whose fancy for horses and taste in clothes is well known. The body of the coat is of white SILK applique over white satin and trimming this is pointed stole collar of chinchilla with pendant cord or naments in white. wide fur band fin ishes the bottom of the coat and the Jap anese sleeves. The muff Is of the ap- plique banded and draped with the chin chila.

for evening wear will be adhered to as usual. Plain and fancy materials, rich satlns and silks, soft chiffons and yalu- able laces, with a wide range of beautiful brocades, will all be there. Trimmings are many and various and their use at all times artistic. Costumes of plain silks, satlns, lansdowne and such weaves are embellished with rich laces and hand em- broideries, while the printed silks and other fancy materials use plain trimmings.
 PaiIIetted Effects.
 Pailletted bandngs and medalions are very effective on any material, and they are being used to great extent this sea son on costumes for both maids and ma irons. One gown which will be worn by New York debutante very popular in the upper set for her beauty, wit, and great fortune, has the entire front of the bodice the short sleeves and the skirt panel, of silver sequins on a net founda- tion. This, with a foot trimming of vel vet appliques above deep satin band, is the sole trimming of the beautiful gray net gown with foundation of gray satin. No jewels other than a single strand of pearls will be worn with this toilette, feature which distinguishes 1t from that of the matron.
 Jewels for Maid and Matron.
 Jewels of every kind and value bedeck the fashionable matron, but the debutante is restricted to simple neck chain, a string of pearls or a handsome brooch.
 The opera gown Is the ball gown and the formal dinner gown, low of neck, short sleeved and long trained Dinner at home or at Sherry's Delmonico's precedes or follows the opera, so that in either case the opera costume serves two purposes.
 One gown which will create no little excitement this season is that to be worn by one of family of women styled 'the seven most beautiful women In America" It is empire in mode, but strikingly at tractive because of It's simplicity of de- sign and beautiful trimmings. In color, too, it is highly artistic, the material, soft, silky lansdowne, being very deli cate shade of gray and the hand embroid- cries gray and silver with touches of yio- let these wrought by a Japanese artist who has recently become famous in "Gay Farce" as an associate of one of the greatest costume makers of the times. Bodice and skirt which bear all the ear marks of the renowned Paquin are embel- lished heavily with these embrolderies,

would throw out the lines of the entire costume. Instead, our clever man has h. serted comfortable sized pocket In the front of his petticoat just at the top of the founces. It is set In with a cord and snaps with a patent fastener. It is large enough to hold securely watch and chain and small purse, or even a jewelry bag. It Is put in the light silk dressy
 petticoats as well as in the more practi- cal everyday ones It Is In these dressy

The little accessories such as veils and neckwear are vastly important to the correctly dressed woman.

 The New Furs.
 Furs, of course, are always part of the opera toilette. Handsome neck pieces and muffs, separate wraps and coats of various lengths and shapes-cape or kimona sleeves, with or without collars and trimmed with beautiful laces-cloth and silk outer garments with touches of fur all these will represent the vogue of furs In this winters fashions. Excepting the Russian sable, which Is always high style by reason of It's exclusive price, white furs are the most fashionable. White and light colored ostrich and mar about will also be worn, together with novelties of lace, chiffon and mallnette.
 The Fashionable COiffure.
 The colffure merits equally as much at tention as the costume nowadays. The high dressing so generally becoming Is still the fashion, despite the effort of coiffeurs to bring In the low arrange ment. Young girls dress their hair low on the neck, but only a few beautiful women to whom the fiat part and low classic knot arc particularly suited dress their hair in this fashion.
 Magnificent jewelled crowns and tiaras, anyone of them worth a kings ransom, are worn by the matrons of the gittering horseshoe. Those less endowed with this worlds goods display colffure ornaments of spangled and jewelled gauge and malinette, while the debutantes wear simple ribbon filets or wreaths of roses finished with rosettes ef malinette.

 Those who cannot afford a tiara of diamonds need not forswear crown, at least this winter, for the shops are show ing most attractive ones of spangles and rhinestones. The coronet shapes are so extremely becoming that 1t would be a pity to leave them entirely to those who can afford gems, and no doubt these in inexpensive materials will find wide vogue. There are charming hair orna- ments made by folding malinette into four or six thicknesses about an inch

The Ultra-F ashionables
 Who Sit in the Boxes
 Their Altitude and
 Dress.
 With the opening of Grand Opera be- gins the social whirl of another winter season in New York. On the heels of 1t follow the endless round of dinners, balls, receptions, teas and bridge parties which crowd the days and nights of fashionable society Up to this time the fashionables have spent the autumn days at country residences or in temporary city quarters motoring back and forth from dressmaker to millner, up and down the avenue and across the side streets where are situated the small exclusive shops supplying the numberess accessories necessary to the feminine wardrobe.
 Opera Rehearsals.
 And while luxurious city houses have been undergoing all sorts of repairs and wardrobe preparations have been going on, the sweet voiced songsters of two great opera. COupHHlth nhNt Dttu bpcuuius long hours rehearsing for the greatest event of the winter season.
 Opening Night.
 Everyone naturally looks forward to opening night with no little anxiety lovers of music, critics, fashion idolaters and the great number of reporters and fashion writers who go to grand opera to draw from 1t all that is meat for a good newspaper story.
 In the Boxes.
 In the boxes subscribed for from year to year by those whose fortunes are public talk, sit some of the most beautiful women of the world, the beauty of face and figure enhanced by the gorgeous cos tunes and the brilliant jewels they wear. The splendid spectacle of this array of beauty is best viewed from the balcony, where those who go to hear and see usually sit. Box occupants. faultlessly attlred in the best that the world of fashion has to offer, step from their carriages and go directly to their seats, there to assume an attitude which the careful study of head boise and body grace makes so attrac- tive. There is little moving about and less talking while the singers are on the stage, talking not being fashionable in these days among the ultra fashionables Between the acts these box occupants are on parade, visiting back and forth, ex- changing light talk and pretty compll- ments, and incidentally arording much satisfaction to the lookers-on.
 Grand Opera a Fashion Show.
 Like the Horse Show, the Opera is really a clothes show; the latter even more authentic that the former. While everyone wears new and charming things nt the Horse Show, the most exclusive clothes are reserved for the Opera This season will, undoubtedly, be the greatest operatic season, from fashion viewpoint, that New York has ever known, for never have we had such fascinating fash ions, and such exquisite materials with which to execute them.

tverybody's Dog

There is dog Mt Bloomhe Id whose
name IS Jack. lie is nobody's dog,
yet eyerybody's in Bloomfield. He is
none of your fine haired, pedigreed
dogs, but just common, every day
cur. Jack has so many good quail
ties that the whole town of Bloomfield
is his home and everybody in it his
friend. 1t is said when JAG sees any
little child on the street alone he at
once takes charge of il and becomes
its escort and faithful guardian. When
Jack got into fight with two country
dogs that took it into their heads to
paint the town "a crimson color he
came out of the scrimmage with
broken leg. A subscription was taken
up to pay doctor to reset his broken
leg and the subscriptions didn't stop
until the sum collected amounted to
$50. The doctor not only did not
charge for treating Jacks wound but
himself threw in contribution. By
order of Judge Thomas Conley, who
was probate judge at the time, ID.
Wilcox was appointed Jacks guardian
aud curator, and the papers are all
made out in regular form and tie
whole matter is on record in the pro-
bate office the same as il Jack were
human, which he is the next thing to.
Jacks money is on deposit in the Bank
of Bloomfield and will be used to erect
a monument for him when he dies. -

larceny in connection with the fail.
ure of the Salmon Bank, was be.
gun in the Benton County Circuit
Court last Wednesday. Because
of the prominence of Major Salmon
in the State, both in politics and
business, his trial will attract wide
spread interest over the State. He
is a well known Democrat, was
State Treasurer for four years,
was prominent IN the councils of
the party, aud has frequently been
spoken of as an available candidate
for Governor. He was reputed to
be quite wealthy, is gentleman of
pleasant and courtly address, and
until the unfortunate failure of the
bank at Clinton in which he and
his brother, Dr. Salmon, were the
principal stockholders or owners,

a suit has been commenced by
President Earl of the Real Estate
Trust Company of Philadelphia
against the Sugar Trust for $50, :

coed and wrecked an Independent

financed by the Real Estate Trust
Company, causing the bankruptcy
of the latter company, resulting in
the suicide of its president and the
bankruptcy of another millionaire
associated with it. They were the
promoters and owners of an indie.

the Sugar Trust by dupllcity Sc
cured control and shut down, thus
running its owners. Mr.. Earle was
appointed receiver of the wrecked
Real Estate Trust Company, sue
ceeded in settling up its affairs,
re. organized it and was elected its
president. In doing this he traced
its wreckage directly to the Sugar
Trust, and has brought suit for
damages in the sum of $50, 000,-
600. There is fragrant violation
of the antitrust law involved in
the suit, and President Earle has
endeavored to get the government
10 become a party to the suit, but
President Roosevelt, the boastful
Trust Buster" turned a deaf ear
to the appeal, Notwithstanding
Assistant Attorney General Purdy,
after examining the evidence sub
mitted, declared that Mr.. Earle
had made out the strongest case of
conspiracy under the antitrust
laws he had ever seen. :" If the
President were really in earnest
in his pretended desire to enforce

opportunity to show his sincerity |
But the political machine of New
York is too closely allied with the

policy to antagonize. |
