We an have one or two intimate
friends whom we receive In our own

luxury Of a dainty and pretty dressing
gown, which may be worn after a
busy social, school or business day.
The practical feature Of this charm

in one piece. There is no bother Of
tying or pinning down Of shirtwaists,
no hooking Of skirt and waist together
or adjusting a collar and girdle, OF
any Of those trying little deeds which
wear out our patience when we are
tired. The skirt is cut from a plain
six-gored pattern. and is finished with
two fve-inch ruflea at the bottom, and
It is joined to the waist by a band an
inch and a half deep. The band is
trimmed with embroidery beading,
through which ribbon is strung and
tied in a long loop bow In the center
Of the front. The blouse fastens down
the middle Of the front as does the
skirt, and Is tucked to yoke length
It is trimmed with two circular, tucked
collars, finished with narrow rulings
at the foot Of each collar. The sleeves
are finished with cuff of beading,
having the ribbon run through It and
tied in an attractive rosette at the top
Of the elbow A tie fastened to the
base Of the collars at the center Of
the front is made from the same rib

This little frock is charmingly
dainty when made Of swiss, dimity Of

the frock would be delight to the
most fastidious eye.
The amount Of materials required
for this little dress are ten yards oi

yards Of beading. five yards Of ribbon
and one dozen buttons.

Valuablss and Ends BY Steal

The following story Of the queer
happenings that took place some
months ago at the house Of the Mills
Mannings. a well-known family Of De-
troit, is but another illustration Of the
old adage that truth is stranger than
fiction"
Morning revealed one day that al
most all the silverware that the Mills
Mannings possessed had vanished

tensifed the more when the police
arrived Neither finger marks, nor
broken window, nor forced door be-
trayed the entrance Of the marauder.
Throughout the day detectives secured
the house, peering into every corner.
but without result
The morning following, Mrs. Mills
Manning met the detectives with a
look Of much concern on her face.
During the night, she told them, the
thief whether the same one or anoth-
er remained to be seen) had stolen
many more valuable articles. Stirred
to fresh vigor by the story, the detec-
tives again made a minute examina-
tion OF the house Again It was to no
purpose; the thief had covered his
tracks SO securely that not clue re-
NAMED.
Some weeks went by. Then, one
morning Mr.. Mills Manning discovered
while dressing, that his pockets had
been rified during the night and every
coin abstracted. Still more was to be
revealed. The floor was scattered
with little fragments Of paper. Mrs.
Mills Manning pieced some together,
and, with a little cry Of horror, dis
covered that the thief had destroyed a
number Of dollar bills that her hus-
band had carried in his pocket-book.
Again the detectives were called in,
and again they vainly endeavored to
find traces of the miscreant. Further
mystery was still to be added to the
affair Two nights later Mr. Mills
Manning's pockets we're again riHed
while he slept, his cash purloined
and the same treatment meted oul

on the preceding occasion.
