Oil Company, is seriously i'll in the
Mount Washington hotel, Breton
Woods, n. H.. aud his condition is un-
derstood to be serious. His personal
physician, DIR. Denan, and nurses are
in constant attendance. symptoms of
general nervous breakdown appeared
and about a month ago he was taken to

Every possible effort is being made
to keep his mind from his business af-

The charms of the tailor-made gown
are very apparent this season; it
seems to have reached an unwonted
height of perfection in color. in mate
rial, in combinations of braid and
yich furs, in fact everything which
goes to make up most harmonious
whole. A great many of the newest
tailor-made models show very fasci-
mating little boleros which are half
capesi These garments invariably
have the sleeves cut in the same piece
as the coatee, thus avoiding shoulder
seam. do not pretend to understand
how this is managed, but the effect is
excellent, and it represents one of the
novelties of the season. Famous au-
thorities assert that we are slowly but
surely drifting towards crinolines and
'leg o mutton sleeves" I do not
think we shall quickly see crinolines
in possession of the feminine affec-
tions but we already have with us
something extremely like the "leg %
mutton sleeve"
Marked f1atness on the shoulder and
considerable width above the elbow!
At this particular moment sleeves of
this order are very quaint and artistic,
but I should not like to speak with
great certainty about the attractive
ness of the sleeves of next spring.
Fashions must change; it does not
seem possible to leave well alone and
we cannot dare to expect that the
sleeves of next summer will rival
those of the season which has just
faded away.
In our illustration we show two or
iginal designs in tai1or-made gowns.
The one on the right is of silver grey
cloth, trimmed with embroidery. The
other costume is made of bottle green
cloth trimmed with velvet and cords to

match. The bolero opens on shoulders
to show the velvet blouse.
White, so long the color monopolized
by the debutante, is no longer confined
to her, and this winter a number of
the smartest matrons have appeared
at the sides of their debutante daugh-
ters, at receptions or dances, in gowns
as white, and in some instances almost
as simple as that of the bud herself.
This is wise fashion, for there is no
color that makes a more charming
frame for the mature or even slightly
passe woman than white, when the
shade is properly chosen, for shades
in white should be as carefully con-
sidered when choice is made as
shades in other colors.
The woman with snow-white hair
and a pink and white or white skin
may wear the pure, dazzling whites.
For the woman with dark hair, or
grey hair having a yeIlowish tinge,
for unfortunately there are such, and
sallow or a creamy skin-the latter
as beautiful as the former is unattrac-
tive-should select the deep cream.
Then there is silver grey hair
to be considered, and the greyish-
white skin, and for these the pearly
greyish shades or the pinkish whites
are suited, but never the creamy tones.
The pinkish whites also go admirably
with the pink-tinted SKINS. and are
safe choice for many women, as in
America the pink and white tinted
complexion is most common. The
more beautiful creamy compilations,
and the also handsome dead-white
compilations, being comparatively
rare, perhaps because there are so
very many more blue-eyed women
than those of darker hue, and these are
usually accompanied, or should be at
least, by pinkish-white skins.

he turned it over to Darrell, who in

Daniels was to go with him, but
Cheney thwarted that. Later, Daniels
was to resign. Sinclair and he were

Woman Who Passed for a Man.

An extraordinary woman is sWil-

known only when she was arrested
at Brisbane, Australia, recently. Those
who knew her in Melbourne, believing
her then to be a man, as she was
always in mems clothes, state that
she was stronger than most men and
that she was a very good pugilist.
When she took it into her head
to enter a bar she was very open

for a time the avocation of horse
trainer, and owned the racing pony

SETS new RECORD
Walter Freeman, Aged IS,
Claims to Have Beaten One
Way Time of c. A. Bioney
ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI
Reports He Swan River From Oaven-
port in II Minutes 80 Seconds
Race is Suggested.

If the claim of Walter Freeman, a
15-year-od boy residing at G1S Third
avenue, is substantiated, c. A. Bigney,
the expert swimmer who made round
trip swim from this city 10 Davenport
and back Thursday evening in 43 min
utes and 2 seconds, must look TO his
laurels. The Freeman boy, according
to his statements today, made the "TRIP
from Davenport to this side last night
in so seconds less time than Bigney's
record for the return trip of his swim.
However, the boy did not swim both
ways, and the professional can proba-
bly, give a better account of himself
under the same conditions. Until he
does, however, young Freeman has him
bested, if the report of his feat last ev
|ening is authentic.
In I1H Minutes.
Freeman's time for the trip was II
minutes and 80 seconds. He started
near the Milwaukee round house on the
Davenport side, and landed at the foot
of Ninth street on this side, about the
same distance that Mr.. Bigney covered
Thursday. He was accompanied by
Edward Freeman, his brother and Mar
tin Swanson, in a rowboat. The two
Young men in the boat kept the time
of the trip.
Race IL Suggested.
1t is probable that since the perform
ance Of the professional, number Of
| the swimmers of the tri-citieS will try
to lower the mark, and it is suggested
that a long distance swimming race be
arranged and the records taken by ca
pable timers. Mr. Bgney desires to
make the trip again before leaving the
city, and expects to lower his record
of Thursday evening. He was handi-
capped on the first trip by his unfa-
lmiliarity with the current. Whether
he will make the trip against time TO
beat the record claimed by young Free
man remains TO be seen. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the Rock Island boys trip
was not made known and an official
record of his time taken. The boy first
iattempted to swim the river two weeks
