Monograms on Shirtwast Sleeves.

The fasion of embrodering the
monogram on tailored shirtWaists is
gaining favor.
The newest idea is to place the
lettering on the left sleeve, just above
the elbow. Some, however, prefer the
decoration worked over the bust a
little to the left, occupying about the
same position as watch does when
pinned to the dress.
Delicate colored threads are usually
chosen for this ornamental work
though. Of course, white is more to be
depended upon for successful laundar-
ing. Mercerzed thread is used for the
working.

| more confidence than he exhibited
during the first encounter. Mr.. Je-
rome based his questions chiefly upon
various documents, letters and mem
orandums which he produced in sur
prising numbers. The one he found
most useful was a tablet containing
twenty-six sheets of foolscap paper
on which were pasted a strange va
riety of newspaper clippings and
scraps of manuscript Thaw identl-
fed it as something he had prepared
and sent to Dolphin NJ. Delmas, his
chief counsel, during the first trial for
use in preparing his closing speech
to the jury. Some of it's contents
were strange enough to cause sus-
picion of the authors sanity, but
these bits Thaw invariably explained
by saying they were letters written
to him and his family by persons
whose kind intentions probably We're
better than their mental balance.
Lots of it was rubbish" he added,
but some of the letters contained
ideas I thought, DelmaS might use"
Thaw's part of the compilation
showed him as man of many tastes
sages of Scripture regarding sins
dragon tales in Percy's Reliques for
striking SMILES regarding Stanford
White. DelmaS'S opinion of his
clients suggestion was indicated by
the fact that he turned the carefully
prepared sheets over to the commit
tee of alienists before which the pris-
oner appeared during his first trial.
Mr. Jerome got them from this
source.

caused another postponement of the

er permitted and by o'clock a large
crowd had gathered at Fort Myer. I'm
til word came from the Alexandria end
of the course at o'clock that a strong
wind was blowing there Orville Wright
seemed determined to make the trip.
At that hour, the Wright brothers held
a conference and the fight was called
off for the day. A flight will be at
tempted this afternoon.
Fully a hundred automobiles and as
many carriages which had brought to
Fort Myer nearly all of the important
officials of the government who have
braved the heat of midsummer to re-
main in Washington. were packed

his deputies to guard the evidence,
which belonged to the records of his

Thaw and his attorney asked This
privilege chiefly on account of certain
exhibits introduced by the district
attorney. These consisted of various
papers containing notes and drawings
