Much of our interest is now CEN
tered in frills, and here l find myself
again conceitedly exulting In my sue
cessful knack of prophecy. You may
be deceived In the cost of coat and
skirt. but the frills are of a more tell
tale disposition. and the eyes OF the
least expert can detect at once which
are made of fine, muslin or batiste.
and which of mercerized lawn or any
of the cheaper sort of fabrics which
can be called upon to do such serv-
ice.
A very superior specimen has a
handembroideTed center plait. flanked
on either side with a lace frill: and a
very attractive model has an insertion
of lace down the center of the front, a
plated lawn frill on either side being
edged with lace, while the collar band
is of transparent lace. and the base
of this is finished with narrow black
tie.
Doubtless we shall suffer consider
ably from the Vaccinations of the in

to indulge themselves in frills of fine

And having discovered her. teach her

of beautiful feathers, l would refer
once more to those new Celebrations
of the ostrich feather.
The manufacturers have contrived
now to extend the length of their
fronds, so that they have a shaggy
appearance, and they are as delight
fully attractive as novel. Indeed, by
the side of them the ordinary ostrich
feather, even II it be of very good
quality. seems quite uninteresting.
Sometimes these feathers are
shaded, two dark colors being most
successfully used. such as peacock
blue and brown, and two tones of one
color will also do good service.
There is a great rage for the satin

Foreigners Going Home.

New York.-That the estimate tina,
$4,000 emigrants will leave New York
this week for European ports is far be-
low the number that will probably sail
is the opinion expressed by Gustav II.
Schwab, CT the North-German Lloyd
line. At least 10000 and perhaps TO-
900 will sail, according to Mr.. Schwab's
figures. The Pennsylvania railroad
alone brought more than 1000 to New
York Thursday. A curious feature OF
the situation is that the number of
immigrants arriving in New York this
month is greater than for any Deem
Der on record but it is believed that
the exodus will cause a falling off in
immigration.

THANKSGIVING PARpoNs.
Governor Directs That Prisoners Go
to Their Former Homes.

Denver.-Governor Buchtel, in par.
doning three persons from prison in
situations the day before Thanksgiv
ing exiled each from Colorado for
life. The pardons are said to be with
out precedent in carrying this condi-
ton with them. For the first time the
governor of the state went outside OF
the State Penitentiary also. pardoning
one prisoner from the county Jail OF
Denver and one from the state reform
etory. Each prisoner is to be sent back
to his mother. Following are the
Thanksgiving clemencies:

at Brighton, both people of bad repu-
tations. The woman was formerly
habitue of Market street. Herold was
an ignorant German boy of 10, and the
governor said in his letter to Herold
that he believes his story that O'Hara
killed his wife and that Herold killed
O'Hara in self defense when O'Hara at
tackled him as the only witness of the
crime. Herold drove off few cattle,
sold them and tried to get out of the
country, but fear is advanced as the
cause of this act by those who inter
ested themselves in his behalf. Mrs.
Henrietta Barmeier. one of those who
secured the pardon, was formerly a
well known German grand opera
singer and sang in Governor Buchtel's
church twenty-five years ago.
1t was the intention of former Gov
ernor Mcdonald to give him the
Christmas pardon, but the plan did not
succeed. He was recommended for
the Thanksgiving pardon by both Gov
ernor and Mrs. Mcdonald and Mrs. ].
B. F. Reynolds, as well as the warden.
Scovel is sixty years of age. He
was sentenced from Telluride, San
Miguel county, November %, 1907, for
voluntary manslaughter. being charged
with the murder of Sam Clark. His
wife is said to be an invalid and needs
his support. Scovel was formerly
volunteer officer of the State Bureau
of Child and Animal Protection, serv-
ing without pay. because he could not
bear the sight of child or animal be-
ing abused. The officers of the bureau
believe that he killed Clark in self de.

DEFENDS The
GERMAN ARMY
CHANCELLOR Won BuELoW
MAKES NOTABLE SPEECH IN
THE GERMAN REicHSTA6.
ARMY NOT CORRUPTED
ALL PARTIES EXCEPT SOCIAL.
IsTs WILL VOTE FOR IN.
CREASED APPROPRIATIONS.

Berlin-Thursday's sitting of the
Reichstag was notable for the ener-
getic speech of Prince Won Buelow,
the German imperial chancellor, in de-
tense of the army, the Emperor and
himself.
In replying to DR.. Spain, the leader
of the center party who asserted that
conditions prevailing in the army re-
called those of ancient heather Rome,
the chancellor rose, full OF fire, and de-
clared that no one imagined that the
whole army was affected by few in
stances of unworthiness. The chan
cellor assured the house that these
would be sharply attended to by the
Emperor, than whom no one strove
more for high tone OF morality in
both the army and the nation. 1t was
the crown prince, he said, who had
called his fathers attention to the
articles in the Dierzukunft disclosing
corruption, with the result that imme-
diate action was taken In the matter.
He pointed out that neither the chan
cellor nor the ministers could take
such a step without holding proofs of
their assertions.
Prince Won Buelow then referred to
the so-called court camarilla which is
widely alleged to have Influenced the
Emperors decisions. No one. he said.
had ever accused the Emperor of be-
ing without his own will and the cam
arilla could only exist where the mon
arch was willing. Such a poisonous
growth as a camarilla, he said, was
utterly un-German and reports regard
ing its existence could be taken as
being without foundation.
In concluding his address the chan
cellor denied the assertion that he had
dissolved the last Reichstag in order
to protect himself against personal
attacks relative to his supposed par
ticipation in intrigues. The reason for
such action, he said, was the obstruc-
tion offered by the center party, which
desired to pit its strength against the
nations will. Any chancellor who had
submitted to such course would have
forfeited the confidence of the nation.
The chancellor promised to take part
in the budget debate tomorrow.
Freiherr Won Stengel, secretary OF
the imperial treasury. stated that d.
rect taxation could not be raised In
consequence of The increases in the es-
Inmates and the government must rely
upon the indirect method. but as yet
he was not prepared to state by what
means he hoped to bring the empires
finances to sound condition.
The representatives of virtually ev'

socialists, gave assurances that they
were prepared to vote for the augmen-

The duke was rather pleased with
himself. He liked to put on his state
uniform, with its blue-gray frock. the
white doeskin trousers which strapped
under the patent-leather boots, the gold
braid the silver saber and the little
rope of medals strung across his full,
broad breast. 1t was thus he created
awe; 1t was thus he became truly the
sovereign, urbane and majestic.
His valet was buckling on the saber
belt, when there came a respectful tap
on the door.

One can not assert any particular de
gree of dignity with valet at ones
side.
But 1t was only a corridor attendant
who entered. He approached the
dukes valet and presented letter.

and backed out, closing the door
gently.
At once the valet bowed also and

Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild

CHAPTER VIII.


Shortly before six o'clock-dinner
in the palace was rarely served until
half-after eight-the Honorable Betty
sat down to her writing desk in her
boudoir. which opened directly into
that belonging to the princess, to write
few letters home. A dinner was to
be given to the state officials that
night, and she knew from experience
that after that solemn event was con-
cluded it would be too late for the de-
parting mails. She seemed to have
no difficulty in composing her thoughts
and transferring them to paper. There
were times when she would lean back,
nibble the end of her pen and smile
in a dreamy, retrospective fashion. No
doubt her thoughts were pleasant and
agreeable.
She had completed addressing three
envelopes, when she heard the door
leading into the princess boudoir open
and close. She turned to behold the
princess herself.

Gretchen, what has come over
you?"

"Well,"-a bit of color stealing into
her cheeks,-"it is possible. but very
foolish. One ought to know something
of a mans character" went on Betty,
before permitting sentiment to enter
into ones thoughts"
THAT is my opinion, wise little
white owl" Her highness took her
friend in her arms and kissed her, held
her at arms length, drew her to her
heart and again kissed her. 1t was
like a farewell. Then she let her go.
IF there is anything you need, make
yourself at home with my cases." And
her highness was gone.
Betty gazed at the door through
which dear Gretchen had passed, gazed
thoughtfully and anxiously.
How oddly she acted! wonder
She made as though to run to the door,
but stopped. as If ashamed of the doubt
which flashed into her mind and out
again.
