WEICHTIER MATTERS OF DRESS

II one is looking for a smart but
simple costume the one here pic
tured will offer suggestion which will
be easily carried out. In some of the
new geranium pink shades with desir-
able contrast of color on revers and
cuffs it would prove a costume of
which any woman might feel proud.
Pinafore bodices for grown-up wom-
en- seem rather an absurd idea
doesn't it? And yet it is an idea which
finds favor in the sight of very many.
On some of the new spring gowns
one sees the genuine pinafore bodice
and on others merely the shoulder
straps which give bodice a pinafore
effect One thing to be said in favor
of this mode is that it is very prac-
tical: Ii comes to us at a moment
when renovations are attracting a
great deal of our attention, and it en-
ables us to make last years bodice
up-to-date at small expense.
My personal opinion is that the pin
afore bodice is only suitable for quite
young women and for girls; it has
cruel little way of making the woman
of uncertain age look ridiculous.
Another fashion-one of the latest
novelties-which is suitable only for
young and slender women, is the short
coatee which just covers the waist
line and which is distinctly shorter
in front than at the back.
Amongst the prominent colors
which are to have the favor of the au-
thonties stand forth those many
shades which have been known as
"pickled cabbage" and include dull
purple, soft pink, and sombre tone
of red These may be seen in all the

The array of millinery this season
has been sufficient to tempt Saint
Elizabeth of Hungary, and it has been
apparent to the most Indifferent OBJ
server that there is considerable diff
ference in the present fashions from
those of the preceding year.
It must be frankly admitted that
the mushroom shape reigns supreme.
Made in fine shiny straw it obtains
in every color, and the popular trim
mings are the encirclement of the
crown by an outstanding ruche of rib
bon tied into bow at one side the
covering of the crown with tulle, net,
or lace gathered into beef-eater shape
with the base bordered with a wreath
of flowers; the surrounding of the
group of flowers on either side or a
group of wings.
An exception to these rules Is q
mushroom hat of white chip with a
narrow band of black velvet on the
brim, the crown trimmed with pale

are two full-blown pink roses clustered

favor this season.

Examination Continued.

The examination of Andrew Brown,
charged with committing rape on Miss
Minnie Zenke was held before Justice
McCaughna Tuesday but not being
completed was adjourned to Feb. 2S.
Charles Paris testified that he heard
screams on the night of the assault but
thought it was the children on the hill
on Mulberry street or on the river skat-
ing. Miss Zenke showed Sheriff Wat
son and Justice McCaughna the place of
the assault and explained the manner
of the assailant in attacking her.
She said she was afraid that after COM
mitting one crime he would attempt to
drown her and swore that she saw him
plainly by the light which shines
brightly from a street light on Williams
street. A witness was sworn who stat
ed positively that Brown was not in the
Symes tavern on the evening of the as
sault he having noticed everybody who
cane into the hotel that evening. This
evidence was to disprove Miss Zenke's
statement that her assailant followed
her from the hotel Miss Zenke insists
that Brown is the man who attacked
her.
