IN NEW YORK CITY
Robbers Got $4,000 in Checks aud Cash
From the Marquise Chocolate Com
pany at Ninth Avenue.


New York, Oct iS-1The police Of tht
old West Twentieth street station are
hunting for safe-bowers who succeeded
in making a big haul from the Marquise
Chocolate company, at IS Ninth avenue
during Wednesday night, a total Of s4,
900 in checks and cash being carried
away after the door of the safe had been
shattered with nitro glycerine.
The Marquise Chocolate company is a
new concern Since Sept. it has had
the four upper floors of the six story
building. The firm has not done bust
ness yet and was to begin active opera
tons on Nov. l. lin the meantime, the
work Of perfecting the organization and
getting stock ready was in progress.
Wednesday 4 payment was due on the
stock subscriptions, and a sum was re-
ceiYed after banking hours. The exact
amount Of this is unknown, according
to Charles II. Kindelberger, Jr., secretary
Of the company. As nearly as he can
tell, 1t was something more than $4,000
Of which $500 was in cash and the rest
in checks Many Of the checks were
payable TO bearer.
When kindelberRer reached the office
the whole place was in conclusion, The
safe door had been shattered and the
cash box was missing The rug on the
office floor had been used to deaden the
sound Of the explosion. On the floor Of
the office there was an electric flash
lamp, a piece Of fuse, and a lot Of post
age stamps. Several desks had been
pried open.
When the police were notified and De-
tective Fogarty and two associates were
put on the case, 1t was found that the
Burglars had entered from the senttle.
On the roof was jimmy that had been
used to gain entrance. As the men went
down into the building they iimmied
open doors into all of the floors except

a play is Jules Murrys great college
play, AT Yale In nearly all plays Of
this sort, where there is a distinctively
strong scene in the next TO the last act,
there is naturally a drop Of interest in
the final scene. The enthusiasm seems
to run dry. The enjoyment is exhaust

a futile attempt TO bring the happy
couples together and receive the fathers
blessings before the curtain falls with a
duh thud and everyone wonders why
the last act was not omitted. In this
new college play, there is this difference.

 Japanese kimonas of shantung and China silk embellished with real Japa- nese embroideries are novel and attrac- tive to the comfort-loving American woman. Japan is exporting quantities of these garments to this country since the vogue of all things Oriental, and their prices are not exorbitant, consia- ering the fact that they are imported.

Dainty Conceits for the Boudoir.

Looking over the beautiful creations fin the negligees this season. one wonders at the ingenuity of designers in working out so many charming variations of the Japanese idea. The Japanese kimona, while the national formal dress of these little people of the Far East, is to Amer leans purely negligee garment; so 1t is quite natural that it's best adaptations should be found in garments of this char acter. It's success. however. is not Him. ited to this field, for>we have long since acknowledged it the dominate feature of every type of present day costuming. with one exception, the tailor made.

 One piece house gowns share favor with two piece models this season. The latter for some unacceptable reason seem dressier than the former, suffi- ciently so to serve as evening costumes en famiie. These are made with long full skirts. gathered or pleated into the waistband, and finished at the bottom with billowy fiounce or an applied hem of silk or satin. If the latter. the coat like matinee is finished all around with a narrower binding of the silk and the sleeve trimmed to the same depth as the skirt. The empire waistline is at

None of these empire garments fit snug ly. They simply suggest the lines of the figure without defining it.
 In those negligees intended for the confines of the boudoir only there are numerous pretty ideas for which one may pay goodly price in the ready made article, or copy at the cost of a little time and patience Very dainty lounging gowns are made of inexpensive albatross or wool crepe in one shade and lined with thin China silk in another. the pretty little bandngs of ribbon or silk matching the lining in color White albatross with ones favorite color in the lining and trimmings would be very dainty and sweet.

The lin ing could also be made separate and tackled in place after each cleaning of the albatross. which soils sooner than the lining.
 In the short negligees there is a very clever little model which is really an improvement on an Idea which came out about year ago. The original model was simply a square yard of material

A Balcony Toilette.

The evening costume of the woman who sits in the balcony at the opera may or may not be decollete. As a matter of fact. 1t is very often the latter, but In all cases it is dressy and worn with as many jewels as she can afford. White and light, delicate colors prevail in the toning of such costumes, rich laces and exquisite hand embroideries running riot over satlny surfaces of bodice and skirt. One material which will be seen very much at the opera this season Is pompa- dour silk Of such is the pictured cos tume white taffetas silk, soft and lus- trous, scattered with pink pompadour roses and foliage in soft gray shades. The bodice and skirt are built in one, shirred the depth of a girdle at the waistline. An overskrt effect Is wrought with white satin embroidered In white and silver threads, this trimming corresponding with that on the bodice In the form of turn oyer collar and revers which extend al- most to the waistline and edge vest Of white duchess lace. The sleeves are novei In shaping and are made of silk, lace ap- plique and printed chiffon of the same de- sign as the silk. They are very short and met by the long suede gloves several inches above the elbow. A broad brimmed chapeau with trimmings of gold lace, ostrich pumes and malinette Is pretty accessory to this costume

Her costume Is of soft, r1cn silk or satin, clinging chiffon or lace, carefully designed to bring out the best figure lines, and over this she wears d coat or cape of fur or cloth ornate with rich trimmings. An example of the sim plicity of design which characterizes even ing wraps this season shows to advantage in this coat of oyster white broadcloth hanging in straight. graceful folds from shoulder to top of skirt hem. More than half the surface of this coat, including the loose Japanese sleeves, is covered with soutache braiding and exquisite dead white Japanese embroideries executed on a foundation of filet net over white satln. Heavy silk cord tassels are set on the fronts at the bustline. and the garment IS lined throughout with gold and white pro eade satin. huge black hat Of pieated malinette and satin trimmed with black ostrich and gold tissue ribbon comph- ments the touch of black in the veiVet throat band.
