A HAPPY PARTY OF CHILDREN.
 Master Paul Belfonti was four years old the 21st, and IT of the little boys and girls near the fruit store came to see him in the afternoon, and what jolly time they had. The ice cream with cakes and candies, were no sweeter than the sweet faces as they showed their birthday gifts and danced up stairs and down. May little Paul have another party when he is five.

in the babel of the hue and cry, when
Thomasso, the near-human property of
Pietro Pizzaro, organ grinder by pro-
fession and Italian by birth, escaped
the other afternoon.
Through the grimy mazes of the
plant darted the monkey. Close be-
hind came the pursuing army. For a
moment it seemed all day with Thorn
asso, for he was herded into a blind
alley and the crowd was close, but a
tall smoke stack doomed up in front.
Up went the monkey to distance
of 200 feet, and there he rested. He
laughed loud and long at his pursuers,
and instinctively reached out for a
cocoanut to drop into the crowd. In
stead he got handful of cinders, still
warm, and the effect among the mob
of Huns, Bohemians, Creates, and
Slays seemed to make him feel quite
gay.
Nothing could induce him to come
down. Stones failed to hit him and

Young One Takes One Man from
Ranks of Law Breakers,

Chicago.-A burglar with con-
science, one who fears the inward die
tator more than Inspector George Ship
Ply or his trained detectives, has been
found. He will not be a burglar any
more. In the future he can walk I'D
Halsted street or down Madison
street without fear, and all the blue
coats on the west side will cause him
no apprehension when they cross his
path.
Abraham Auth, printer living on
West Adams street, is the one to
whom credit is due for the discovery
OF the reformed burglar. His home
was the last one visited by the man,
and in the darkness of night the burg
lar knelt and prayed that his depreda-
lions of the past be forgiven.
With evidence in his possession that
would send him to the penitentiary,
the man, whose conscience spoke,
needed the inward adviser, and, re-
turning to the home which he had
robbed only a few minutes before,
aroused the owner and returned the
property. Then when the wrong had
been righted the crook, in husky
voice, knelt and prayed that his other
sins might be forgiven.
1t was past midnight when the burg
lar, after a careful scrutiny of the
property in the neighborhood of West
Adams street and Center avenue, de-
cided that Auth's home looked the
most promising, and began the task
of entering it. A look about the
premises convinced him that a few
skeleton keys were necessary. One
key was tried and then another, and
when the third had been inserted the
bolt shot back and the door opened.
While Auth and his wife were sleep
ing soundly the burglar searched for
valuables, and was rewarded with the
discovery of a quantity of jewelry
The golden trinkets quickly found
their way to the mans pocket With
another look about the burglar added
a number of bills which he discovered
. in a cream bowl on the sideboard
Then he decided it was time to leave
The man passed toward the front
door. He was stepping into the vesti-
bule when his foot tripped over some
object. A low oath escaped him. but

Quick Wit Saves Boy.

Port Jervis, N. Y.-Howard Sou
dant, Is years old, was skating on the
Delaware river three miles below Cal
licoon when he went into hole in
the ice in swift water. His father
John Soudant, who was short dis

and turned just in time to see the boy
disappear.
With great presence of mind the faith
err skated down stream fifty feet tc
an open rift of swift water four feet
deep, waded in and caught the boy as
he emerged from under the ice.
The boy was strangling and partial

father saved his life, for 100 feet be
low where the boy was rescued the
water ran under ice ten to IA inches
thick.

Robert Lewis of Winnipeg, Manitoba,

Nine Melba in "Rigoletto" the other
night before they left for home, but

baby boy, who is Is months old.
They solved the problem by asking
whether the baby might be checked
in the cloakroom. The astonished
maid referred the question to the
manager who replied that by all
means the baby should be cared for.

and tress must be in its right place
outside the sanctuary, but within, a
head something between that of a
squaw or of Struwelpeter is what is
probably to be found, reposing among
lace-edged sheets and pillows in the

that pretty woman should ever abb
d1cate the throne of her beauty. There
is nothing so ugly as a tangled, I'M
kempt head after a nights tumbling
about on a pillow; but thanks to the
incoming night caps none need pre-
sent that appearance nowadays.
One exquisite little cap we saw
the other day was of fine lace en-
broidered with the daintiest of tiny
ribbons in the form of flowers and
leaves in pale pink and pale blue. A
band of lace was loose from the main
part of the cape, and came low over
the forehead, with tuft of curls pull
ed out between. A second can was
what might be called the '"reyised
Dutch cap, sort of glorified mob"
of finest muslin with square pieces
at the side, and hanging full at the
back of the neck. There were square
insertions of embroidery on the side
pieces which framed the face in the
most becoming way, and the cap was
edged all around with Valenciennes
lace, while blue ribbon was tied in
bows at either side. A third cap was
a Belgian shape with quaint rounded

ears edged with Valenciennes: a
round piece of the broderie, threaded
with narrow ribbon, formed the crown

ribbon passed under the sides and
was tied in a big bow across the

For young girls, the most delightful
ribbon arrangements are being de-
signed on tulle or tartatan skirts, the
narrow satin ribbons forming trel-
lis work or crossbar design The bod
ices are trimmed with bretelles made
in the same way. We are now follow
ing the foreign fashion of wearing
muslin or thin silk blouses under our
fur coats, and such is the incongruity
of fashion that fur and winter coats
alone give the impression of mid-win-
ter.
The very latest idea for smart wear
is to have the bodices as f1imsy as pos
sible. Let us take, for instance, a
dress of satin-faced crepe-de- Chine, in
wide transparent insertion of lace
(thick guipure) of the same color
trims the skirt, which is very close at
the top and wide at the foot. The
blouse bodice will be of green (crimp-
ed chiffon over silk, with a yoke and
trimming of the green lace.
One startling fact in the world of
fashion is to be recorded. We are
going to have yet another new fig
ure:" waists are being made short at
the back and very long in front, so
much so that many bodices and coats
in the best West-End houses show
quite an Empire back. Corsets, too,
will follow suit. This is a very use
full fashion for women with thick
waists, but for perfect line of back,
nothing can touch the Princess gown.
We are paying more attention than
ever the lines of the figure, and

They are made of the most transpar-
ent material, and very much befrilled

. TWO EXQZIc9zE GONzWcg

Fashion is called tickle for more
than alterations sake. She has all
the feminine failings-or what are
known as such. Inconsequence, love
of change, lack of humor, all that
goes to the making of the eternal fem
mime. Over these the world has
theorized for ages past, and always
will. Till the last day, both woman
and fashion will be denounced for
their whims and moods, for it is pos
sible in life to live down everything
even a crime, but a theory-never.
Variety is not wanting in the new
fashions. The very short bolero is
worn over a high Empire belt, but
most popular of all are the coatlets
with tiny basques. At present, every
thing is supposed to have a basque,
and the long, tight-fitting coats are
still quite in fashion. The short fur
new rag carpet line line is Au quite Do out
list ladlfF we are still wearing
loose, short, sleeveless boleros of fur,
and the daintiest of cape boleros with
frilled sleeve made in fur or in vel
vet.
Stripes are quite as fashionable, if
not more so, than ever They take the
form of black hair-line tartan or tweed
fabrics. Striped also are our evening
gowns, of silver and white, or colored
gauze, with a deep hem of satin or
chine Pompadour ribbon at the hem.
This is headed by repousse embroidery
of silver spangles. Most of the trim
mings are padded and en- relief. Prin-
cesse gowns are entirely spangled in
gold or silver or jet. The mother-of-
pearl srangles are not so much in IA
vor as last year. They have been
found to prove hard and unbecoming.
