MAKING A SURE THING OF IT.
Proprietor Of curio Store Ready With
Suggestion That Would
Surely Save Time.

William Weston. manager OF the
Tabor Grand theater, tells this one:
Or one occasion David Belasco cast
an actor for a certain role in which
he had to play the part of Cossack
officer and every one knows how par
ticular Belasco Is concerning detail.
You must hunt up a Cossack
ssber." said he. Not an ordinary
sword, but the real thing" So the
actor man started out on a still hunt
through all the curio stores for the
weapon.
After fruitless quest he arrived AT
a junk shop kept by an ancient He
brew at Baxter street.
"Vat can ] do for you?" queried the
proprietor.
I'm with Belasco." said the actor
man, " and I'm looking for Cossack
saber"
Wait a minute"
The ancient one rummaged diligent-
lys through a pile of old scraps and
could not find the desired implement
of warfare He finally came forward
with a rusty dagger. Here's Is shust
vat you want" he exclaimed. intent on
making a sale
The Thespian again explained that
nothing would suit but a Cossack
saber.

YELLOW IN FASHIONS FAVOR.
Color Scheme That Just Now Is I'm
menseIy Popular Among Partisan
Women of Fashion.

Paris turned emerald green month
ago and then after poking around
among her metallic fabrics for an
other color scheme, she worked up
perfect craze for yellow. Her green
satin empire evening gown slipped
into the background when Its place
was usurped by corn color and canary
in clinging fabrics. The topaz satins
fairly melted into the golden gauzes
so much affected as tunics and trim
mings during the whole period Of en-
pire fashions. Chamois color has been
popular and now among the more use
full materials one finds the browns
shading toward "chevelure"-hair

yellow its name implies. The beige"

INDICTMENT OF THE FURNACE

goes down and sulks at the bottom OF

moody, meditating upon the good old
summer time. and will quite forget that
there are heat pipes running aimlessly
through the walls. But let a warm
wave come along and the furnace will
grow repentant and say to itself that
It will make amends. Immediately all
the windows have to be opened and
people four blocks away get out their

STOCKINGS TO MATCH GOWN.

10 Fashions Edlet.

Black stockings are no longer IN
vogue for summer use, nor white all

ings are designed to match the gown
and II they are not TO be had In the
shade OF the dress then they must
match the shoes. Stockings are Of
fered In all the popular colors. such
as brown, bronze, military, and copen'
hagen blues and grape. while for eve
ming wear the new rose. raspberry,
apricot. champagne. and delicate
shades OF pink are the rage.
Those In Isle thread are had In all
these tones and are counted good for
morning wear. They are offered at
80 cents and up. Some are 80 finely
woven that they look like silk. The
least expensive are plain, while the
more costly are trimmed with hand
embroidery worked in the self-same
color. Some OF the delicate trellis
patterns are elaborate.
With black and dark gowns the
black stockings worked In the same
color are preferred to the lighter

For dressy occasions silk stockings

military, and copenhagen blue are ad-
mired with walking suits. But for
evening wear the amethyst. old rose,
apricot, and bronze are preferred to
all other shades. For evening wear 1t
is desirable to have the slippers and
hose the same color as the gown
When this is not possible the stock
ings should match the slippers.
Though plain silk stockings may be
worn for evening wear. the open and
the embroidered ones are counted
best. Some OF the French hand-em-
broidered stockings have elaborate
