4 On January u, -. d short sketch of the
Roberts family was given. showing the
connection of the Virginia family with the
English Robarts (now spelt Roberts), who,
as will be seen by reference to that ar
ticle, are IN direct descent from Alex
ander Robert w. Earl OF Touro.
Tho Roberts family We're raised to the
peernge hy Charles H., John Roberts be-
ling first Earl of Radnor, and John Alex
andcr Roberts, tollrht earl, came to Vtr-
fginla and settled In Caroline county about
172t, from whom many of the family In
this country are descended. Having omit
ted In our former article to give the
arms, as brought over by John Roberts,
in Justice to this noted family they are
here presented, and are thus described:
Arms. Quarterly--First and fourth, az.
on a chief or three estoilcs: second and
third arg. a lion rampant, or.
Crest--A demi-llon rampant. or, hold
ing flaming sword erect ppr. pommel
and hilt Of the first.
Isl supporters-On either side, goat arg.
fducally forged and charged onithe shoul-
der with an estoile az.
Motto--Quae Supra.
Hcnning In his statutes mentions many
Of the early famlly--John. Jonathan, BEN
s1amin. Edward. Humphrey James, VII
liam and others'-who later served in the
Revolutionary War. Mathew Roberts,
one Of the earliest settlers was in Col
7onel Byrds First Virginia Regiment. Nor
ris Roberts was in Captain Fox's com
panyfof rangers from Louisa, 1856. Fran
els Roberts was In the French and Eng
Elish War; John Roberts was in Lord
Dunmore's war, 1874; Hugh Roberts was
IN the Middlesex county militia, 1916.
Certainly the present descendants can
easily enter the Colonial Danes, with
such patriotic ancestry.
The family Were also located quite
early In Nansemond and Tidewater coun-
ties, as we find Christopher Roberts liy-
ING near there in 1765, and his son, Will
liam Shepherd Roberts. who married
Lydia Queen. was also there. The next
we find them largely settled In spotsyiL
wanna and then to Louisa. Albemarle and
me western counties of the State. In a
future number we propose giving some
interesting facts concerning many OF tho

FEW LAW SUITS FILED.
Panicky Times and Holiday Keeps
Citizens i'm More Peaceable Mood.

In speaking of the effect of the
present panic upon the number of
cases that would be tried in court
this term, Judge Smith said that the
people were inclined to settle their
disputes among themselves at the
present time and not fight their cases
in court, says the Baker City Herald.
The present stringency Of the
money market has deferred many
people from taking their troubles to
court to have them settled and conse-
quently the December term will be a
rather light one. Very few cases will
be filed when the present holidays
are over.
OF all people who are affected by
the panic, the lawyers are hit the
hardest, was the opinion of Judge
Smith. The public thinks the law
yers have an easy time, but when
times are hard the lawyer is the first
to suffer and continues to suffer un-
til the furry is over. The attorney
makes his money in the office draw
ing up contracts, agreements and
other legal documents so when times
are hard all of his revenues from
this source decrease and do not re-
vive until conditions are normal
again.

BOYS STOLE HANDCAR.
Dangerous Play for Youngsters Might
Have Wrecked Train.

Two young boys, one of 10 and
the other 18 years. were taken into
custody by Sheriff Christman this
morning for having attempted to
steal a handcar from the Great
Southern railway company. On ac-
count of their extreme youth, the
boys will be given good lecture and
then released, says The Dalles Chrop-
icle.
The boys told the officer that they
had taken the car at Fairbanks on
the Great Southern and that they
rode it to Seufert's and then left 1t
there until they should return. They
had left Fairbanks In the afternoon
and scarcely got off the track when
the train going to Dufur met them.
A minutes delay or mishap in get
ting the car from the track would
have caused their death or seriously
injured them or might have wrecked
the train. All this was duly Impress
ed on the minds of the young cul-
prits before they were allowed to re-
turn to their homes to receive such
punishment as irate parents may see
fit to administer.

FADS AND FANCIES

New York, November 16.-This is
decidedly the season for trimmings.
Some very elaborate things have been
imported and there are also those that
are made here that are equally as
handsome, if not as expensive. Fringe
is used extensively on the bottom Of
tunics, sashes and for berthas and the
edge of wrap sleeves. It is made Of
cord. twisted silk or chenille. Passe-
menterie is used in great quantities
and grelots, another craze at present,
are seen as large as a plum and then
again they are very small. Coats are
trimmed with buttons, some very
large crochet and fancy buttons or
ivory and porcelain, trimmed in gold
or silver Shaded bone buttons are
used on tailored coats. Cloth and
taffeta covered buttons to match the
suit are fashionable.
A novelty costume was seen OF
chamois skin and cloth combined.
The skin was in the fashionable
kakai tint, as soft as suede and could
hardly be distinguished from the
cloth. This gown was trimmed with
wide silk braid and ornaments to
match. Waists made to wear with
cloth suits are Of a very supple taft
feta and touches of this are seen in
the skirt.
Suits and wraps made of chevron-
hn OF
ed to appear like the bias and cross
seams. are most effective in striped
materials. Striped skirts Of silk
yoile are worn with long black vel
vet coats, cut away very short In
front. Some of the new skirts have
no seams in the back or front, only
on the sides, and these seams appear
to lap and button to the hem of the
skirt. Cutaway coats that are new
and smart have tiny applied pockets
Just over the bust
The long cloth coat is one of the
necessary garments which helps to
complete the winter wardrobe. When
a person can easily afford 1t, there
should be one for every gown 1t Is
to be worn over, and it should match
in color A cloak Of smooth finish
and Of the finest quality needs very
little trimming, yet, some Of them are
elaborately braided or banded with
silk or velvet. The wraps that are
seen are long and loose and made OF
broadcloth. velvet or satin. The jap
anese sleeve is either in one piece
with the wrap or set into wide arm
hole. One especially elegant wrap
was made OF dark currant velvet
draped capuchon fashion in classic
folds almost to the bottom Of the
gown. It was trimmed with gold
motifs and pendant tassels.
The latest autumn shirt waists are
showing a slightly larger blouse In
the front. With the popular jumper
dress are worn under waists Of heavy
white or ecru lace. They should al
ways be trimmed with some Of the
dress material. thus showing that
they are worn only with that costume.
All blouses show a great deal Of fine
handwork in fancy buttons, braiding,
embroidery or bands Of silk. The

empire style cannot be attained on a
separate waist, but the effect is often
brought out in the belt which is ar
ranged to give short-waisted ap-
pearance in the back and is not long
or pointed in front. A favorite fash
ion now, is to have a touch of black
velvet in the collar.
The new French hats that are now
being imported are much smaller than
the earlier ones. The trimmings, es-
pecially the plumes, are arranged to
give height rather than breadth. Eve
ming hats are made of silver or gold
filet or point d'esprit, and are bound
with velvet moire. One very hand
some hat was of silver point d'esprit
bound with gray velvet and TRIMMED
with three standing gray plumes.
There was band of chinchilla
around the crown and in front a great
chou of silver gauze ribbon.
Red, in its beautiful shades, is
rapidly coming into fashion. This

Purple and red may be combined
with a wonderful effect, but if this
is attempted by Americans. it is not
likely to be as successful as when
done by the Partisan. 1t is the safest
to trim a suit in any new shade of
red. with black, and have ecru as a
combination.
charming luncheon dress was
seen the other day made of a deli
cate yellow cherry colored silk with
a little cherry colored flower out
lined in the silk. The fringe was
rather a deep shade on a background
of pale cherry. The coat was cut in
the manderin style, having wide
sleeves trimmed with fringe. The
