The high girdle of fancy Partisan
silks and velvets is much worn, but
it is becoming only to those with long
and slender figures.
Some of the women of the smartest
set have added cute little socks to
their boudoir equipment. They are
for wear while reclining.
There is a peculiar charm about the
white hats of soft, pliable straw. sim

delicately colored ribbon.
The kid waistcoat, made of limp

Uses to have a great vogue when the
cool days come. Some Of these waist
coats are hand painted.
For a child a rough straw with sugar
loaf crown makes an excellent hat
for play, and with simple scarf trim

The scarf may be varicolored.
The bridge stocking is fad. 1t has
open work designs over the instep and
ankle showing hearts, diamonds,
clubs and spades. These stockings
are worn in black and in tan.

RATTLERs INFEsT HOUSES.
Women in Mountain Homes Have
Many Thrilling Encounters.

Towanda, Pa.-The Barclay noun.
tain district is plagued by rattle
snakes. The absence of fires in the
woods for several seasons have given
the reptiles an opportunity to multiply,
and there have been some thrilling en-
counters with them.
Mrs. Michael Mcmahon found a rat
tlesnake curled up behind the kitchen
stove and killed the snake with a
broom. II measured nearly five feet
and had IL rattles.
The following day a neighbor of the
McMahons went to the henhouse to
gather eggs. The woman slipped her
hand in through the opening to where
she nest was, and came In contact
with something cold and Shiny. She
withdrew her hand, and a moment
later the head of a rattlesnake was
thrust out at her almost into her face.
Her screams brought help. The snake
measured four and one-half feet.
Mrs. Michael Jenkins, residing near
one OF her daughters hair ribbons on
the bedroom floor. She stopped to
pick 1t up. when to her horror the
thing wriggled up in a heap. II was
rattlesnake measuring nearly three
feet.
A berry picker in the Lamoka dis
trict killed FIVE rattlers in one day.
A man named Munson, residing on
an isolated place in the same section,
lost IL young ducks and more than
that number of chicks. One morning
he saw rattlesnake come out from
under the smokehouse and seize a
chick, then crawl back out of sight.
He and his boys pried the smokehouse
up and under II they found colony
q six rattlers. Three of them were
in lethargic state. owing to their
gorging upon the young poultry.

A Turkish bath of this kind for
healthful cleanliness of the pores
should be taken at least four times
a year.
The facial bath should be regularly
taken once a month, as in no other
way can the pores of the face be kept
free from deposit of dust more or less
destructive to an attractive skin.
The facial steam bath is easily and
quickly arranged at home by the aid

that she was clad only in her night
dress, and that she was sleeping
peacefully, having tucked her solitary
garment round her feet. At the point
at which she must have crossed the
fence, in order TO get to the embank-
ment, a plate-layer had left his coat
hanging on one of the posts. with the
result that the girl, in some mysteri-
Gus manner, had got hold of the gar
ment in her somnambulistic walk,
wrapped it up and made a pillow of
it upon which to lay her head.
One of the plate-layers remained
with the girl, while the other immedi-
ately went to call p. c. Rowlands of
Llandulas, who hurried to the spot,
followed with equal haste by Mr..
Lane, the station-master at Llandulas
She was then picked up and carried
in a semi-comatose condition to the
police station. She had a Bible and a
letter in her possession, which seemed
TO indicate that she was Miss Amy
Parker and native of Oakengates in
Salop. The letter also furnished clue
to her Old Colwyn address, and upon
that place being communicated with it
was found that the young lady was
staying there. She is a handsome,
well-developed girl, and although so
young is nearly six feet I'm height. She
had suffered somewhat from exposure,
but had recovered much of her vitality
when claimed by her friends.
II is stated that the girl has been
rather inclined to somnambulism. In
the course of conversation she stated
that she remembered nothing from the
time she got into bed at Old Colwyn
and woke up at Llandulas police sta
tion about two miles away. She must
have walked along the main road and
then branched of through some fields.
1t is quite possible that the mere act
of getting over the fence where the
coat was hanging may have suggested
the idea of getting into bed.

Chicago.-A terrible battle with a

stake, took place the other afternoon
when j. f. Shilling of La Grange, ILL.,
attempted to hurl her from the Audi
forum tower, and was forestalled by
John Richardson, an elevator opera
tor.
The screams of the girl as she strug
gled in the powerful arms of her
crazed father attracted the attention
of sight-seers who were viewing the
city from the tower.
The man was caught as he held the
girl poised at the edge of the railing
ready to dash her to the street, hun
dreds of feet below.

narrow corridor on top of the tower

assailants and grasped his daughter
in his mad attempt to end her life AS
he loosened his hold on her the last
time she staggered through door

where she lay until her father had
been overpowered.
The attempt on the life of the girl
was brought about by a recurrence OF

NEW ACADEMY CLOSES
AFTER SUCCESSFUL
SEASON

With the closing OF the New Acad-
envy last night, Washington will be de-
prived Of its temple Of melodrarna until
the theatrical season Of 19Os-1sO9 shall
have begun.
The Academy has enjoyed a season
conspicuous for the number of promi-
nent popular priced" stars who have
played at the Ninth street theater since
the opening. September 2 There are
few melodrama theaters able TO boast
OF the engagements OF such representa-
tive players as Cecil SpoOner, Thomas
Z. Shea, Ftske O'Hara, Harry CLAW
Blaney, Rose Melville, James ]. Cor
bert, David Higgins. Bayonne Whip2le.
and others.
Others or the Academy bookings have
included Lillian Mortimer IN "BuncO in

MortOns, The Wizard of o."

The season has been one of thirty
eight weeks duration-a season that
Manager Lyons declares, despite the
country's financial depression, has been
one of the most prosperous in the ola
Academy's history. j may be the fact
that washington little feels the general
country's financial troubles. or it may
be that the bookings at the New
Academy nave been sufficiently strong
TO overcome money stringency. What
ever may be the secret Of the theater's
success this season, certain It is that
much Of the prosperity is TO be accred-
tied to the capable management. There
are few more popular resident mana
gers than Johnnie Lyons. who has
been at the head cs the Academy's ex-
ecutive stafT for several years.
