FASHIONS
 AND PADS
Silk panels are plentiful.

Draped waists are very popular. | A new fad is the bathing parasol.
 The trend Is toward picturesque ef- fects.
 Violets trim many of the new pur- pie hats.
 There Is quite fancy for hip Or- namentation.
 The general trend of the hat brim | Is downward.
 Never were linen suits more popular than now.
 The princess costume Is a feature of l the season.
 Simplicity is the keynote in chil- | dren's apparel. Guimpes will lose nothing in favor for summer wear.
 Handsomest bathing suits are in the princess style.
 The day of tho wide and fussy neck ruche Is passing.
 There is inevitable an increase In | the width of skirts. | It is a fad to have belt buckles made out of watch cases.
 The black and white hat is most modish for all occasions. | Silk that rustles does not figure in the present fashion scheme. Flowers and fruits are used in enor- nous quantities in millinery.
 Trim cravats are again the thing. finished with dainty little stickpins. | Foundation collars made of net had.
 The directoire is only hinted at in the development of washable ma terials.
 Metallic ribbon belts, finished with buckles of the same tone, are popu- lar.
 Perforated tips are seen on many of | Al nA ties.
 A good many eighteenth century ruchings are being used on new gowns and wraps.
 Traveiing skirts are cut so that they escape the ground by a scant | three inches.
 The pointed waistline is a novelty after the straight cross effects of the empire cut. Among the materials used for bath ing suits are mohair. fine serge, tafreta and silk serge. Some of the newest and smartest of skirt and coat costumes are being made without sleeves.
 Some of the petticoats worn with the high -waisted skirts are made with Il wide fitted belt.
 Moss roses, with their attendant buds and foliage. are being much used in hat trimming.
 Hat styles demand that the hair be fiat at the front, wide at the sides and full at the back.
 Colored embroidery makes up many of the prettier neck bows and 1t has the advantage of being washable.
 Jade bracelets with dainty silver or gold deposits are among the novelties in the spring Jewelry.
 The silk skirts are very tght-fitting to the knees; then a full sun pleating is used as a finish.
 The princess. both fitting and semi hitting. the Directoire and the empire, are all holding their own.
 Neck laces of small cut jet beads will be worn much this summer by those who favor the coilarless gown.
 Real pockets. long and flat, are con cealed beneath the trimming on the sides on many of the tailor mades.
 Cloaks of silk In the color of the cloth skirt with them have been prev alent aI fashionable out-of- doors af- fairs.
 A great many eollarless gowns and waists are daily appearing and the collar band is becoming 4nore and more scarce.
 A parasol in pongee of natural color, lined with old rose, and with Di- rectoire handle. is in the height of fashion.
 There seems to be no doubt that the plaited skirt Is on It's way back, though in just what guise remains tn be seen.i

CHAPTER REPORTS. MOhIlc---M0hiia.

The Mobile Chapter D. A. R. met with Mrs. W. c. Fitts Friday after noon, June {.
 Miss Meta Thompson, the Regent, opened the meeting with prayer. and after the business was dispatched the Chapter enjoyed e most interesting program, the subject for the afternoon being '"The Tragedy of the Empire" Mrs. Emma Lavretta and Miss Mabel Heustis sang with much feeling Holy Mother. Guide His Footsteps" It Is a1- ways a pleasure to hear these two gifted Mobilians and on this occasion the audience was more than delighted. Mir. Jimenez the Mexican Consul, next sang. Let Me Like a Soldier Fall. and for an encore gave a lovely little Spanish song.
 Then came the main feature of the evening, the address of MT. Jimenez His subject included, The Fall of Max imilisn, Carlotta in Austria, the States man of the Zapotecs, Benito Juarez.
 It was very interesting to hear \ Mexican's views of Maximilian. In his eyes Maximilian was no hero, and his death no calamity so far as the flu ture of Mexico was concerned. and he spoke of the justice of his execution, how he was tried by the very laws which he himself had made.
 The Chapter Is greatly indebted to Mir. Jimenez for his very interesting paper, and for the souvenirs of Mexican pottery in miniature which he so kind- ly presented to the members.
 The program was concluded with Chopin's funeral march beautifully rendered by Mrs. c. A. Leftwich.
 This was the first meeting held since the election of officers and Miss Thompson, the newly elected Regent presided with ease and dignity, and impressed the Chapter with her abil- ity as a presiding officer.

That night, by the light of my
campfire. | read again the report of
the robbery as given by the train
hands. Near the last of it was the
account of the sleeping car porter who
related. with evident grief, that he
had been relieved of $6.15 in silver,
and that the bandits had ri1ed the
liquor cabinet of the buffet, taking
with them all of the whisky and a few
bottles of the rarer and stronger
wines.
EARLY next morning | examined the
deserted camp of the highwaymen.
There was nothing but a burned-out
pile of ashes and charred sticks and a
few empty bottles. The bottles gave
the clew for which / searched. The

erous owner of the good liquor, with a
show Of Indifference | was far from
feeling. He was a late arrival, it
seemed, and lived in a shanty far up
IN the mountain-side with two COM
panions. The three were making a
rather poor attempt to work a claim
they had preempted.
Getting away from my ~loquacious
miner-friend, | climbed the steep trail
to the cabin and set about an investi-
cation of it with great caution. The
men were at home, and from the
sounds issuing from it's closed doors
/ guessed they were having a rare old
time that evening. | approached to the
very door and listened with my ear to
the planks to sounds of revelry within.
The men were gambling and drinking,
and | could hear the clink of coins
and the rattle of bottles and the ribald
jests with which they made their bets
and gloated over their winnings and
cursed their luck when they lost. |

label of the sleeping a company, and
some of them were the diminutive
TASKS of which / had drunk n on
the trip from Denver. There was not
a scrap of paper anywhere else to
be found.
"Elated with my success, | made a
survey of the country and discovered
a half-obscure trail leading farther
into the mountains. / took up this
trail and followed it as best / could
until nightfall. Often l lost it, and
sometimes l spent an hour or more
casting about to pick it up again, as I
have seen hounds baffied on the trail
Of a fox. About three o'clock that
afternoon | found something that made
my yes sparkle. Shattered into a
thousand pieces was the remains of
one Of the small whisky bottles on a
large fiat rock beside the trail where
it had doubtless been cast in a playful
mood induced by its contents. Among
the fragments found the label of the
car company.

was in my favor, for no rains came
to obliterate the trail. For five days

route from time to time by fragments

way, and at the places where they had
camped for a night. The buffet-car
must have been well stocked, for !

well beaten road, which. from my map,

500 or 1000 souls, and there was a
bit of a mining boom on which daily

bottle which held just enough to tease
one, but it was the best liquor he had
drunk since he left Kentucky many
years before. He licked his lips in
pleasant memory of the drink.
