HANDKERCHIEF NOVELTIES.
Novel Designs complemonting the
Seasons Dress Fabrics.

The subject of handkerchief Is an
unusually interesting one this season.
Here, as in every other accessory of
woman's costuming. novelty presents
Itself in the most fascinating cuiscs.
lt is the colOred handkerchief,
strange as it may seem, which claims
drst place; and this too, with the
rmartest dressors. The old prejudice
against the handkerchief carrying
even the slightest suggestion of color
has been entirely forgotten, and by
those. too, whose exclusive tastes per.
mitted in the old days the selection
OF only the ncatest hcmstitched and
most unobstrusive embroidered pure
white affairs.
These new affairs are absolutely ir-
resistible I'm their dainty colorings and
designs. The linen is OF ,he finest,
and the designs the most artistic. Tie
Japanese tendency which dominates
the costume world is traceable in
many of the best designs.
The majority of these handkerchief
novelties nave narrow colorod hem
in pink. blue, green or yellow, in the
| paleGt tint Some show border ei-
| fects in convcntionized flower de-
| signs. the flower centcrs bit of deli.
/ cate hand embroidery executed in
| finest cotton or linen threads. Clus-
] ters OF tiny diamonds, polka-dots and
squares I'm one or two Colors alternate
inside of the colorcd hem. with en-
broidery dots usually in white, though
sometimes i'm color Then there are
the plaid handkerchiefs, with and
without plain-colorcd hem. These
are more often in two-tone effects, and
show a bit of fine handwork in a cor
ner design in the form of tiny flower
spray i'm the place of the initial.
Initial handkerchiefs, by the way
are still good style, but they come
only in the plain whites, and not in
novelty colored affairs.
Some very pretty patterns show the
colored printings in corner and border
designs, embroidered over with tiny
dots, and naturally the more EN-
broidery these handkerchiefs carry
the higher they are marked in price
Another novelty shown among the
most exclusive patterns has the dainti
est finish imaginable in the form of I
very narrow lace edge, handmade
lace, by the way. These, of course
are more or less expensive, but th'
clever and ingenious girl may bu,
the plain handkerchlcfs and set on tn
lace herself with very gratifying re
suits, both os to effect and price.
Pollla-dots are well represented
doubtless because OF the prominenc
given this design in dress fabrics thi
season.
Checks also are not without favo
so the summer girl will find little di
ficulty in matching her dainty frock
with handkerchiefs, coInplementin
them In both color and design.

THREE DISHES OF CHICKEN.
All Good, and Among Them the Old
Fashioned Stew.

Chickens should be cut up clean
and seasoned over night or for a few
hours. 1t improves the flavor. Cook
all chicken slowly. Prepare the three
following recipes:
Louisiana Chicken.-Roll each piece
of seasoned chicken in flour, put in
iron frying pan and cover with clots
of butter and one pint of milk. Cover
tightly with weights on lid and bake
in slow oven. When the milk has
simmered down add another pint and
bake until tender.
Old-Fashioned Stewed Chicken
One small minced onion to table
spoonful of butter, fry golden brown,
then add one tablespoon Of -four, mix
well, then one cup of tomatoes, pinch
of ginger, cook up, and then add one
pint of water and then chicken. Cook
slowly and add more water If needed,
Chicken Hash. Mince cold chicken
and one green pepper and one-half can
of button mushrooms, and add all to
a rich cream gravy and season. For

GEN. KURoKl, MILITARY GENIUS

guest Of the nation. a graduate Of the |
military schools of Europe. the visitor /
was rcputcd to be one of the leading f.
princes Of his time in skill as a mill |

he was completing his visit the prince
turned to his escort and said

Born G2 years ago in Satsuma, the

mikado, and rose grade by grade from
the lower ranks, attaining in 1894 the
rank Of lieutenant general That was
the year of Japan's war with China,
and in that conflict Kuroki commend
ed the Sixth division of the invading
army. II Is related that his divis-
ion had been scheduled to be the last
one to be embarked for the invasion
of China. and that Kuroh chafed so
much over the maction that he fretted
himself into a state of Illness. But i'm.
mediately the troops were landed and
the smoke of battle began to roll from
the front all of Kurok's Illness van

"Ah. this makes me well again"
From the very beginning of the wal

Eleven Mollies Hanged.

McParlan was on the stand four
days. He told his story simply and
amazed every one by his revelations.
The most searching cross-eXamina-
ton failed TO find flaw in his testi-
mony. When he told the story OF
his being suspected of being a de.
tective, intense silence prevailed in
the court room. For the first time the
prisoners manifested uneasiness.
There were many Mollies present, and
they listened with blanched cheeks to
the recital.
At the close of the trials Pres Cow
an paid a fine tribute to McParIan.
After warning the public that If there
was another murder in that county by
that society there would be IAN in
quisition for blood with which moth

AS a result OF the trials II men
were hanged, and about 40 others sent
to state prison. That was a death

Suspected at Last.
Whenever he was detailed by the
Molies to commit some crime or to
participate in the commission he al
ways found some plausible excuse. But
events moved swiftly The evidence
which he was furnishing gradually
frightened the coils around the Mollies.
One arrest followed another And by
and by 1t became apparent that some
one was giving to the government all
the secrets of the organization. One
morning all the signs and passwords
of the Mollies were published in every
newspaper Then there was no doubt
that they had a traitor among them.
Suspicion fell upon McParlan. He
had accidentally dropped a letter on
the street. The Mollies accused him
of treachery. He became indignant
and brazened it out. He persuaded
them that he was a terribly abused
man. They begged his forgiveness.
At least they all did except two of his
brother officers in the order. The evi-
dence against McParlan was too
strong to be doubted. So they deter

or the next day, but right off.
But McParlan gave them the slip,
escaping only by the skin of his teeth
Sixteen men lay in wait to murder
him, but he was warned just in the
nick Of time. Still he kept at his work,
although he had another enemy to
face. Outraged citizens had formed
vigilance committees to retaliate on
the Mollies. McParlan was known as
an active leader of the organization.
and his life was in danger, not only
from the Mollies, but also from other
citizens.
