When auction day rolled around and

DAINTY DESIGNS IN COLLARS.
Almost Any Material INT Shape Has
Popular Approval.

The linen collars and tabe are Just
as nat as pressing "a make them. In
the first place the linen collar Is plain
and shaped. There is a style which
hearkens back to the collar which was
rounded at the back. the sides and
followed slightly under the chin. This
II now the prevailing style. 1t may be
fitted with a jabot Of the same, though
the fanlike arrangement Is pressed
very fiat and has q decided tailor
effect. This does not mean that frills
are not used. for undoubtedly they
are, and in great numbers. Some of
the prettiest fluffy collars of the sea
son are dainty affairs OF ethereal ma
terial, banded with pale ruching. A
pale tan silk ruching attached to ecru
lace is very handsome. It must be
fashioned to open In tho back, for the
tie In front must DO arranged neatly
and sewed into place for all time.
Other linen collars are made with
small mercerized cotton dots worked
over the surface. When ironed with
. gloss they are very pretty to
with white or colored waists. One
collar made with white dots had each
miniature dot outlined with a narrow
black ring. The small black bow 1t
Tie front gave a dainty touch.

Putnam PhaIanx Has Muskets Used
by Continental Soldiers.

One Of the most interesting fea.
lures Of that most noted military or.
ganization, the Putnam Phalanx Of
Hartford, Conn, which visited Wash
ington recently, was related by Col. M.
A. Winter, commander of the Min
ute Men of Washington. 1t was
that the members are all armed
with original flintlock muskets that
were used by the continental sol.
diers in the wars with Great Brit
ain. These venerable guns had been
stored in n of the arsenals since
the days of Washington. Putnam and
other continental commanders, when
Senator Hawley of Connecticut, him
self a member of the Phalanx, discov-
cred their whereabouts and at once
set about to procure them for the
Hartford soldiers. This he finally &C
complained and earned the thanks of
the Phalanxers. The senator was at
that time chairman of the military
committee of the senate. Another in
%teresting feature of the Phalanx is
that among its active members are
several li1eal descendants of the gal
ant old Gen. Israel Putnam, in whose
honor the organization is named. The
present governor Of Connecticut and
many other notable men of the Wood
en- Nutmeg state are on the rolls Of
the Phalanx. It's uniform is an exact
reproduction of the buff and blue
suits worn by the sturdy continentals
when they fought for the freedom OF
the states from the yoke of the moth.

SHIPPING SEASON FOR sNA,Ls.

Imported In Cold Weather Only From
the Farms In France.
The shipping season for the edible
snails imported from France is now
on. It begins in November and ends
In April.
AS cold weather approaches these
snails encase themselves in q waxlike
coating that forms a shell over them,
this for their protection through win
ter. Their shipment begins when
they have thus covered themselves
with this protective shell, and 1t ends
when, with the approach of FARMER
weather, they begin to cast this OF.
The snails are packed from 500 to
1000 in a lot, in boxes with perforated
sides, the p~erforations being to give
ventilation and keep the snails from
heating in transit. Here their outer
coating Is soaked on and the snails
are ready to be taken in hand by the
chef.

His hair was quite gray, his face
was old and lined. His body was be-
ginning to be ravaged by the terrible
drugs with which it had been inocu-
lated.
But he lay upon a couch in the
study, and Marjorie bent over him,
kissing him. calling to him. and COO
ing inarticulate words Of coincidence
and of love.
Lady Poole was there, also motion
less and silent, while Lord Malvin and
the doctor, who had been hastily sum-
moned from Baker street, watched by
the head of the couch.
The doctor looked at Lord Malvin
and nodded his head.
HE will be all right" he whispered.
'"Those fiends have not killed him yet.
He will live and be as strong as ever"
The tears were rolling down Lord
Malvin's face and he could not speak,
but he nodded back to the doctor.
And then they saw the face Of Ger
aid Rathbone, who lay there so broken
and destroyed, begin to change. The
gashes which supreme and long-con-
tinued agony had cut into it had not
indeed passed away. The ashen Wis
age remained ashen still, but a new
light came pickering into the tired
eyes, and In an indescribable way

table in the guiding light Of this small
torch.
Suddenly a blaze of light dispelled
the darkness and showed a company
Of ghosts looking at each other with
| CHASTITY faces. 1t showed also the fig
ure of a girl sunk upon its chair in a
deadly swoon. And it showed also
the body of Sir William Gouldesbrough
lying Upon the floor between the series
of machines and the screen upon the
opposite wall.
The dead face was so horrible that
someone ran up Immediately and COW
cred it with a handkerchief. This
was Lord Landsend.
The tumult was indescribable, but by
sheer power Of authority and wisdom
Lord Malvin Gained them all. His
hand was raised as the hand Of a on
ductor holds the vehemence of 4 band
in check.
In a few short, trembling sentences
he told them the history Of the strange
occurrence which Donald Megbie and
Marjorie Poole had brought to his no
tice; and even as he told them Sir
Harold Oliver and Lady Poole were
bringing back the unconscious girl to
life and realization.
1.-The man is here" Lord Malyin
said; 1.-The man is here. Gerald Rath-
bone lies dying and imprisoned in this
terrible house. Sir Harold Oliver, I
will ask you to remain with these la
dies while I go forth and solve this
horrid mystery"
He looked round with a weary, ques-
tiOning eye, seeking who should be
his companion, and as he did so young
Lord Landsend touched him on the
arm and smiled.
Come, my dear boy" the old man
said, with a melancholy smile of kind
ness; you are just the man | want:
come with me-"
Then, before he left the laboratory,
he spoke a rev rapid words in French
to one or two Of the foreign scientists.
Upon that, these gentlemen went
down among the strange and fantastic
apparatus upon the tables and lifted
up That which a few minutes before
had held the soul and the personality
of Sir William Gouldesbrough. They
carried the long. limp, terrible dead
Thing to the other end of the great
room, where there was a screen.

FEAR COMING OF pRoHiBtrlcM.
oa60eoee Washingtonians Said b Dc
Alarmed at Outlook.

A large part of Washington actually
Is worried over the fear that the pro-
hibition wave from the south, in
creased in strength and in volume by
he smaller prohibition wave from the
west, may engulf the District of Co.
tumbia. Total abstinence of the en-.
forced kind is having its day
In the land, and it may be
that its day will continue. Washington
without a drink would be a sad place
for some Of the officials and for many
OF the visitors, but as a matter of fact
congress itself would feel the absence
OF liquor less than the country seems
to think. 1t is only fair to the senators
and representatives to say that they
are not a bibulous lot.
Washington on Sunday as far as
the places OF business are concerned
resembles the city Of the day before
the influx Of Europeans brought their
Sunday ideas to this country and
changed the whole nature of things.
You can't get shaved in Washington
on Sunday unless you shave yourself.
and as ordinary language runs this
Isn't getting shaved" Every saloon
In Washington is closed on the first
day OF the week, and closed tighter
than the %proverbial drum, but never
theless 1t Is easy to get a drink In
the city.
There are clubs in Washington
whose sole business it is to sell
drinks. Membership in them costs a
dollar or two a year. The clubs fill
their tills on Sunday. Already the
liquor interests are pooling to fight
prohibition in the capital.
