mas made his defense the "unwritten
law" and insanity. District Attorney
Jerome introduced at first only such
witnesses as were necessary to prove
that Thaw killed White.
The defense then urged that Thaw
was insane at the time of the killing,
and offered Evelyn Thaw's testimony
to show that the story she told Thaw
of her treatment by White drove her
husband temporarily insane and caused
him to kill White.
The defense also introduced the tes-
timony of alienists, two of whom swore
Thaw was suffering from a brain
storm" when he fired the fatal shot.
Jerome during rebuttal caused a SEN
sation by declaring he believed Thaw
was then insane. He got the court to
appoint n lunacy commission. This
body decided Thaw was sane, and the
trial then proceeded to its conclusion.
In the trial just closed the line Of
defense was altogether different. Mar
tin w. Littleton, who replaced Delmas

defense solely on insanity. The trial be-
gan ON Jan. 6 and the testimony ended

The Extravaganza of Women.

egg, a teaspoonful of powdered borax,

Americans ns Viewed by London
Tailor-Nen of Other Countries.
A mans dress invariably proclaims
who and what he is; it is an index TO
his character, his tastes, and his ma
tionality; and without making a too
abstruse study it is possible to indi-
cate those features which proclaim the
nationality of the wearer.
OF course there Is an aristocracy of
the nations who are difficult to distin-
guish except by some popularity Of
face or figure. Their clothing is re-
fined and tasteful and leads one to be-
lieve that their garments are London
made, as they are free from those glar-
ing peculiarities which characterize
the products Of other countries.
The Americans garments are gener.
ally quite two sizes too large for him,
the collar Of his coat is exceedingly
narrow, and the shoulders and back
excessively wide. His Jackets are often
extremely long, and his trousers peg
tops finished with raised seams His
favorite garments are the lounge and
Chesterfield, and these are often finish
ed in some extraordinary way which
he fancies to be original.
The Frenchman is dressy, his gar
ments are close fitting and decidedly
"waisty." He favors the frock and
the morning coat, which he has finish
ed with as much ornamentation as pos
sible. Silk facings, braided edges. and
fantastic flaps are all characteristic of
his dress, while he also pays a good
deal of attention to his hat, tie, and
cuffs.
The German Is In many instances a
modified American. He likes plenty OF
room, especially about the chest, which
part of his anatomy he delights to
make much of; consequently there Is
often a seam up the front of his coat
from the waist. In cut his garments
are angular, and in style he favors
the morning coat and lounge. There
is a lack of personality about his at
tire, and one can invariably detect the
result Of his military training in the
uniformity OF his garments
The Spaniard Is a modified form Of
the Frenchman. His garments are
tasteful and neat. If the weather is
suitable he discards a vest. and his
jackets are close fitting and finished
with a low roll. Generally speaking,
there is less popularity to note about
the Spaniard's dress than with many
others.

and finish, suggesting a skillful blend
ing of French and German notions. On
the other hand, the Italian type is a
Germanized French style, so hat you
get more of the artistic finish of the
French in their clothing than you find
in the Austrian or Hungarian.

cerned, except 1t be in n preciseness
