All sorts of decorative devices will
be seen this winter for the age We
are copying is one of decorative art.
All kinds of gold thread and in
wrought pieces will add to the trim
ming when used and yet on the
other side there is a decided tenden-
cy toward simplicity so that the wO-
man who looks well in the smart
and simple and we'll cut gown may
have her chance to show herself to
advantage.
Sharp contrasts in trimmings are
likely to be seen this coming winter
and the desire for the touch of
black is quite in evidence One Of
the trimming ideas is transparent
work in soutache and braids, the
material being cut away to show
the dress material; indeed, cut out
work is much used
The jet bandeau is seen frequently
and all jet trimmings seem TO have
a good deal OF a vogue and with Ger
tain black and white effects are de
Cidedly smart. For instance ! saw
some very fetching belts today Of
fine white silk decorated with black
Jet cabOchOns of various sizes, which
worn with a white linen and a black
Jet brooch and the black velvet
bracelets already spoken of and jet
buckles give a fine effect.
White pique hats are much in
evidence and are an economical idea
BY the way rafia hats are a novelty
that has taken and are light and
pretty when lined and trimmed be
comingly.
New skirts are long. with plain
backs and fronts and tucked sides
or plated
Negligees of dotted Swiss over
silk slips of a becoming color are
well liked and nothing more dainty
could be found.
Gloves of chamois and fabric are
used extensively and this is a good
tine to lay in the new stock

it is said that the Chinese were
the first to find out that the pearl
in the oyster is due to the irrita-
ton produced by the introduction
of a particle OF foreign matter This
is coated with nacreous matter. ana
forms the pearl Advantage was
taken Of this to make what may per
haps be called artificial pearls. The
shells are gently opened and bits of
mud, lead etc, inserted. They are
then placed in a stream of water
and fed with manure. This making
of pearls is carried on to cOnsid-
cradle extent in China and Japan.
One advantage is that by varying
the shape of the introduced piece
of lead, etc, the shape of the pearl
can be varied Artificial pearls,
however, are not so fine as the nat
ural ones.

A large crowd gathered in front

The plaza and the municipal
building fronting it were gaily dec
GRATED with red, white and green
flags, bunting and palm leaves and
vari-cOlored lights. In front of the
palace a clear space, the width of the
street and the same length as the
palace, was enclosed in rectangle
by rows of chairs "a benches. On
the walk in front of the entrance
TO the palace, was the speakers ros-
trum slightly elevated. while across
the street and directly opposite was
a small table behind which sat Ell
Presidente," ST. ProcOpiO Guerra,
who presided over the ceremonies.
On one side of him were seated
the civic officials, on the other, Gen.
Villar and his staff resplendent in
full dress uniforms. Beyond these
on the sides and in the rear were
the school children, the members of
societies, federal and state en-
pIoyees, residents of MatamOrOs and
visitors from this city
At ten o'clock, Mexican time, the
military band stationed just to the
right OF the speakers rostrum opened
the exercises with an overture. Then
followed the reading of the Act OF
independence by Sr. Jose Arrese,
the playing of the beautiful national
hymn. during which all stood with
barred heads, and a few brief ad-
dresses punctuated by frequent QUE
bursts of music Then Mayor GUer-
IA assembled the rOStrum and in com
memoration of Father Hidalgos act
ninety-nine years ago, waved the
national emblem and called for three

The program ended then in d splen-
did outburst from the people and
the band and setting off of sky
rockets and Roman candles and
much burning Of powder.
The celebration continued today
according to the program published
in The Herald yesterday and will
end with the grand concert by the

Forqot Ills Own Poem.

From London Tit-Bits-
 That poets, like other folk, some times forget their own creations IS shown by an incident related by SH Frederick Pollock. At dinner wnere Thomas Campbell and Lord Nngent were present the conversation drifted from the use of Latin words in Eng fish to monosyllabic verse. Someone expressed a doubt whether two con- secutiye lines composed of words of one syllable could be found In our ian- guage. Lord Nugent at once quoted: By that dread name we have tho
 sword on high,
 And swear for her to hye-Wlth ner
 to die
 Campbell said he did not believe sA the lines, and asked where they cans from. Lord Nugent said, From yonr own Pleasures of Hope"
 How do you know that?" asked ene poet. 1T.
 T know it all by heart" replied Nu- gent.
 "Ill bet you guinea you can't rs' peat it." said Campbell.
 The bet was taken, and Nugent started declaiming, The poet soon got tired and said, T see you know the poem don't go any further"
 The other Insisted upon repeating the whole poem or claiming double stakes, and Campbell paid the extra guinea in order to be spared the recital of the poem which had made him famous-the words of which ho had forgotten.
