Monogram pins with matching combs
are new and pretty. The bars of
pearls and a single amethyst are
very attractive.
A new and fetching bretelle is made
of lace insertion bordered with black
velvet ribbon, the whole being wide
OH the shoulders and tapering to-
ward the waist line. The girdle is
made in the same way as the bretel-
les. In the front a deep-pointed lace
medallion fastens over the girdle, and
in the back, the Empire effect is pro-
duced by a black velvet bow of many
loops fastened up about seven inches
from the waistline. From the bow
hang many long ends of varying
lengths. This is a very neat dress ac-
cesory and would be found useful to
freshen an old waist.
The stiff linen collar is favorite
neck finish for French women, but
they have added jewels to them to
change their appearance bit. Jew
eled pins and gem studded buttons
worn like sleeve links to hold parts
of the collar together are the latest
fancies
Waists of plaid or checked silk are
very good style. Most of them are
strictly tailored, trimmed only with
straps, bands, and self covered or tiny
gilt buttons. The jumper style for
waists will be the vogue during the
fall and winter months. These are
shown in the sling sleeve in Japan
csc effect, and in many the guimpe
is a part of the waist, while in others
it is entirely separate, so can be
worn with different guimpes.

NEW YORK, October 9Th
The models in skirts are showing
overskirts and straigh or draped tun-
ic effects. 1t is hard to tell whether
this style of over-skirts will be ac-
cepted by women of fashion as it is
so long since they were popular. On
the very long belted coats the skirt
part hangs loose in the tunic effect,
and as these are very fashionable, it
is possible the overskirt proper will
ne the vogue. Some of the tunic eff
Sects are so long and supple, that
they appear almost like part of the
skirt.
The latest thing for trimming chit
I'm, cloth, silk and any of the novelty
fabrics, is chenille embroidery or filet
lace mesh. A Calendonian green filet
net has Persian design in dull soft
tones, which makes a beautiful piece
1f trimming. A narrow black satin
BAND is at the top edge, a wider one
at the other edge and above the
border design is a very narrow satin
fold.

Facts About the Great Majestic Range.

1t is the only range in the world made of Maleable
and Charcoal Iron.
1t has, beyond any question of a doubt, the largest
and best reservoir.
1t uses about half the fuel used on other ranges and
does better work by far.
The Majestic All Copper Nickled Reservoir heats the
quicker and hotter than any other. 1t is the only
reservoir with a removable frame.
The Charcoal Body Of the Great Majestic Range
lasts three times long as a steel body
Being made of non breakabe material, there is
practically expense for repairing the Majestic.
AS for baking, it is perfection not only for few

some of them in his summing up

tense in testifying declared they
had the advantage of constant per-.
sonal examination of the defendant,

had not. The Tombs physicians,

that Thaw in prison had acted and

belief. On cross.examination Dr..
Hamilton admitted hi had not ex-
amined the defendant recently.
The de:endant's counsel fought
against DIR. Hanilton's testimony
to the very lest. Failing in the plea
of professional privilege as a bar,
they argued that his examinations
of the defendant were too remote to
be of any value at this time. The
commission decided to allow the
testimony. t.t. - .s
