PLAITS NOW ON ALL COATS
out This Particular Form
Of Adornment.

The newest models In coats have
plaits down the middle of the back.
starting from two inches below the
waistline and running to the hem.
They are side-plaited and turned to-
ward the center. They usually match
a panel Of plaits OF the skirt that run
down the center back. There are few
short Jackets. but those that are
shown by the tailors are either plait-
ed from shoulder to hem like the Bus
ter Brown slip. or the plating is put
on as a peplum to cover the hips.
If this plated part is too short 1t
will be extremely ungraceful 1t should
be at least ten inches and finished
with a one-inch hem. The coat that
has double box plat down the mid
die OF the back will be worn on very
long coats over one-piece frocks.
The plait ia stitched on each side
and slightly shaped In to the waist.

Walter Kitchener a. Disadvantage.

Walter Kitchener at Disadvantage.
Gen. Walter Kitchener, who is sta
toned at Bermuda. is a brother Of
Lord Kitchener. and this fact has
worked against him rather than for
him. He is considered a clever sol
dier in England. and at the time Of
the war in South Africa It was
thought that he would receive an i'm
portant post that would become va
cant. He was passed over and his
brother, Lord Kitchener. was asked
for the reason. 1t should have gone
to my brother" he said. but If I had
given 1t to him everybody would have
yelled favoritism' at the top OF their
voices, SO picked someone else"
Walter Kitchener was expected at
Cape Town at railway station once
when an old lady rushed in excitedly
and asked at what platform Lord
Kitchener was expected to arrive. No
one seemed to KNOW anything about
his visit until 1t finally dawned upon
the stafY officer that she had heard of
the arrival OF his brother. He in.
formed her that this was only Kitch.
ener tina. was expected. Il call 1t a
shame tina: this man, whoever he may
be, should be allowed to use Lord
Kitcheners name; the government
ought to do something about It," she
said. stalking majestically out of the
station.

hoped 1t would be the lovely lady.

out of its body and It also had five
long. slim legs. Thick, woolly hair
covered every part of 1t, and a more

confirmed.
The property loss is tar heavier
than was at first believed and will
run well into the millions by the time
the final details are tailed. Miles of
territory have been laid waste and
crops have been practically ruined.
Shipping of all kinds in the bayou

sugar mills and dwellings of every
character at Houma and other vii
lagos was badly damaged.
The damage at Grand Island and
Chanieri Caminada was very heavy,
but no lives were lost The crops on
that island were totally destroyed
as the water swept across it two or
three feet deep. Orange groves were
wiped clean ofsfruit and foliage alike,
hundreds of trees being uprooted.
The first news from the island was
received today when the mail steam
er Grand Island reached this city. 1t

no less than fifteen hundred persons
were drowned at Chanieri Caminada.

Similar letters from other manu-

Investigation showed that the al

after giving liberal orders had cashed
forged drafts. From the numbers of

WRECK AvERTED

Cured the cars loaded with human
freight would have been rolled into
the roaring Truckee, fifty feet be-
low the track.
After trying in vain to repair the
rail, Griggs sat down and waited
fearing to leave the spot as a train
might arrive at any minute. He had
only to wait few minutes when No.
6 whistled. Taking his hat in one
hand and large handkerchief in the
other he stood between the rails be-
fore the onrushing train, Drawing
death and desperately waved his
hands and yelled for the engineer
to stop the train. The track is down
grade at that point and the train
was coming at considerable speed
but when the engineer saw that
Griggs would not move from the
track, notwithstanding the whistle
of warning, he stopped his train and
saved the lives of his passengers.
Conductor Applegate, the engineer
and many passengers went to the spot,
where they saw the broken rail and
realizing that Griggs had saved the
train from disastrous wreck and
had probably saved many lives they
shook his hand in true friendship
and thankfulness, and wanted to re-
ward him substantially, but he re-
fused to take anything stating that
he had only performed his duty.
