Gate Ctr Special Correspondence ]
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-Fashion has
lately decided in favor OF the Irish lace
tabot rather than the Dutch collar
and small cape, which las been the
foremost in neck lingerie for several
seasons. Every one is familiar with
the simple style Of iabot: the next
grade having insertions sad edgings
OF lace often attached TO q stock -ol-
lar, while more expensive designs
are almost entirely lace, with perhaps
cluster OF fine quality passementerie
cords and ball pendants at the centre,
commencing at $500. There seems at
present no limit TO the popularity Of
lace, composing entire waists. which
range from $500 to $4,000 each.
Cluny comes next, and setting fash
ion, aside, It is really prettier than
Irish lace.

get-me-nots scattered over the SHIN

picking them up. Pink and blue flow
ers in vine patterns with tiny roses
of ribbon embroidery are among the
newest designs, the rage for black be-
Ing complied with, and the sombre.
ness of plain black relieved by the
colored ornamentation. Black open.
work stockings are also in favor, oft
entimes SO fine and lace-like as to riv-
al the most expensive laces. White
or black rose-point are always on call,
but as they begin at about $500.
the demand is not very brisk.

Evening Slippers and shoes.

First on the list comes velvet slip
pers in all the velvet hues, princi-
paliy in black. with an elaborate gilt
ornament on heel and toe, varied by
stee' or silver ornaments according
to the trimmings and shade Of the
costume. Silver cloth, gold cloth,
bronze or steel cloth are largely used
for slippers harmonizing with the
glittering laces and passementeries of
today. Satin slippers will never pass
out OF style, and whatever the mater
ial may be, every slipper has an or
nament of some description on the
instep. Half-high shoes Of white suede
have wide straps across the instep,
worked in steel beads, and high, white
kid boots laced with black, have but
ton holes worked in black, and a
piece OF jetted lace at either side of
the lacing. a third piece being at the
toe. Black heels complete the pic
ture.

FOR A CLEAN CITY

1t is undoubtedly true as is heard Of
ten expressed both in and outside the
CITY, that there are few cities the
size of Bedding with its large hoating
population drawn here from all quar-
tiers of Michigan and other states which
are cleaner in morals and with less dis
orderly conduct and rowdyism than
ours. 1t has been the purpose and ann
az the superintendents of our factories
to require of their help standard OF
morals in keeping with the tendency OF
the age to higher and nobler living and
this excellent feature has undoubted-
ly much to do with the good order OF
the city. 1t is not to be wondered at
that there is an occasional overstep-
ping of police regulations, an element
of discord is to be found in all walks OF
life.
tits the policy however OF our city
officers to guard closely any infringe
ment of the law especially of disorder
" character and bring violaters to JUS
tice if possible.
The development of the past week IN
the arrest of cobbler Teat or Peabt
rather, shows into what depth OF de-
pravity some full grown men calling
themselves human beings can descend,
the nafarious practices they are capa-
BILE of indulging in and the more
wonder is that the law had not over
taking him sooner.
1t is said that there are a few others
OF the same caliber as he in the city
who are under strict surveillance by the
officers and who .will be rounded up
soon.
1t is the duty Of every law abiding
citizen as we'll as our officers TO de-
mand clean city.

Grand Officers Here.

Bedding lodge of Degree of Honor ev-
identity believes in expansion alright if
their meeting last Friday night is any
criterion to go by. On that occasion
the lodge assembled in their hall for
their regular session and initiated a
class of ten into the mysteries of their
order. The lodge was also honored by
the presence of three of the grand Off
GERS, Mrs. Mary NJ. Baxter Grand Chief
of Honor and DIR. Celia DUPONT, Grand
Medical Examiner, both of Detroit and
Mrs. Luella X. Webster, Grand Receiv-
er, of this city, who, by the way, was
reelected for the 14th term at the an
nual meeting of the Grand Lodge held
in Grand Rapids last week.
AT the close of the business meeting a

panied by fine banquet and royal

Eear OF Microbes.

Microbes are agents Of disease and
death. When they were discovered and
when their character was exposed
science made big step forward. MI
crobes taught men not only how to
cure disease, but how to avoid and
even how to prevent 1t. But into life
they brought a new terror! Now the
question is how to guard against this
terror. For all fairly healthy persons
there Is just one thing to do. Ignore
the existence of microbes altogether!
Don't even stop to think Of them, save
In emergencies, which, to the layman
seldom arrive. Human beings have
no reason to be In continual fear OF
microbes. The way to be immune
from their influence is by not caring
snap Of the finger about them, and
by observing the ordinary rules OF
wholesome living. Eat and sleep reg
ularly. Take exercise. Keep In fresh
air. And devote a few minutes each
day to deep breathing. Microbes hate
healthy people as the devil hates holy
water.

BATTLE MUSIC NOT MARTIAL.
British Soldiers Prefer Music Hall
Songs to Heroic Hymns When
They Go Into Action.

It is an understatement OF deeds Of
heroism which delights the British sol
der, declares Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle in Through the Magic Door"
Anything in the least "highfalutin"
would depress body OF English
troops; German troops can march to
battle singing Luther's hymns; French
men will work themselves into a fren-
zy by song of glory; but English
poets need not imagine that martial
song is what the British soldier needs,
as these instances testify.
Our sailors, working the heavy guns
in South Africa, sang: Here's an
other lump of sugar for the bird" !
saw regiment 60 into battle to the
refrain of "A little bit of the top"
The martial poet, unless he had the
genius and the insight OF a Kipling,
would have wasted a good deal of ink
before he got down to such chants as
these.
The Russians are not unlike us in
this respect. / remember reading of
some column ascending a breach and
singing Justify from start to finish, un-
I'll few survivors were left victorious
upon the crest, with the song still go
ing.
spectator inquired what wondrous
chant IL was which had warmed them
to such a deed OF valor, and he found
that the exact meaning of the words,
endlessly repeated, was Ivan is in the
garden picking cabbages."
The fact Is. ! suppose, that a mere
monotonous sound may take the place
of the tom-tom OF savage warfare, and
hypnotize the soldier into valor.-

RIGHT TIME TO BUTTON UP.

Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Saunders
were discussing the merits and diff
culties of waists that button up the
back. and Mrs. Martin said definitely
that she did not like them; they are
treacherous; that one can never be
sure of them. Her friend admitted
that they are uncertain, but declared
that they are so much prettier than
the stiff, straight, buttoned-up-the-front
kind, that she rather preferred them

little shrek of amusement.
