He Barred Newcastle.

When Edward VII. as prince OF
Wales visited America in 1860. Can
ada went wild over him. and in De-
troit and Chicago the crowds were so
dense that the party could scarcely
reach their hotel. So many were the
receptions, dinners and other social
functions in which the prince partici-
pated that be finally broke down
through sheer fatigue and overexcite-
ment. The Duke of Newcastle. who
was the princes companion. decided,
therefore, to stop off on their way to
st. Louis at Dwight Station, quiet
village famous for its shooting. The
prince brought down o bag of fourteen
brace of quail and four rabbits. But
the pleasure Of the day was marred by
the following incident:
AS the royal party approached a
farmhouse an Enthusiastically British
settler appeared at the door and in
vited every one except the Duke Of
Newcastle to enter.
"Not you, Newcastler' he shouted.
81 have been . tenant Of yours and
have sworn that you shall never set q
foot on my land"
Accordingly the party passed on, and
the farmer, though revenged on his
old landlord. had to forego the honor

LAcEs ON MILADY'S WEAR.

Every Garment, From Boudoir to
Nursery, Has the Dainty Trimming.
1t would be an interesting study to
trace lacemaking from the first at
tempts to the perfection of today,
studying carefully the lost arts of pro-
ducing the old rose and other points
which are now so precious because no
longer made. From the first laborious
and crude hand work to the exquisite
machine made laces is a long stretch,
and, while the middle ages produced
the finest and most beautiful Of all
laceS, the amount of work expended
upon them rendered them impossible
for any but the weaIthiest people, but
today there is scarcely a garment for
women or children that is not adorned
somewhere by lace. The machines
initiate many of the old patterns that
are, now so valuable that novelists
speak of them always as priceless.
and so lace has become not SO much
luxury as a necessity.
All our undergarments are trimmed
with lace as lavishly as the wearer
can afford, and whole dresses. coats
and long opera cloaks are made of
lace over light or heavy silk, according
to the season. Hats, parasols and. in
short, every. kind of garment is trim
med with it to advantage. For the
undergarments cluny and valenciennes
are the most preferred. Point de Paris
makes a good, durable lace for hard
wear, almost entirely replacing the
| linen torchon. which is strong. but I'M
fortunately it is made in such open
mesh that it is liable to catch on every
thing. and instead of tearing it pulls
the whole out of shape. Valenciennes
is delicate and dainty and is next to
the valuable old rose point in its light
ness and is produced now by machine.
which brings it within the means of
most. 1t is manufactured in many
widths. and each has insertion to
match. Some OF them have separate
motifs, which can be stitched to a
piece of thin batiste and the batiste
cut away after. which produces very
light and dainty effect.
Many of the gowns for evening wear
are made of this fine batiste, either
overlaid with lace motifs or having in
sets of insertion from waist to foot CT
else with all sorts of cutaway effects,
the cut portion being flied with tho
lace. Fine sheer fabrics are very beau
tiful and very much in vogue just
now and will be in the coming sea
son. Many of the newest are now be
ing furnished with f1ounces, not offer
more than one deep one, but there are
some with two and even three. Natu
rally the fiounces should be more deli
cate than the material in the dress
even when that is diaphanous, and fol-
that reason the lace f1ounees are some
times of very wide lace, but more
often of the sheer goods, with rufflt
at the edge and one OF two fnsets

bottom, but where the skirt is narrow

BOY SUDDENLY
DROPS OUT OF
SIGHT

CHNCAGO, Oct. 5.-The police
today are making thorough
search of the city for Neil Nor
ton, the 12-year-old son of w. S.
Morton, a wealthy stockman of
Woodland, Cal, who last night
disappeared from the La Sale
street station under peculiar cir
cumstanees. According to Morton
he had just recovered possession
of the boy from an aunt in Cleve-
land. after a fight, and, accom-
panied by his wife and another
son, was on his way back TO his
California home when he lad dis
appeared.
Morton says that he left his
two sons and wife for a few min
utes to purchase tickets, and when
he returned he found both boys
gone. Later his son Kenneth re-
turned and said that Neil left him
on the street and disappeared in a
crowd.
Morton has postponed his trip
to California, and today is joining
in the search for his boy.
