n ASHTON has rarely offered us
lines moro convenient and adapt
able for youth and middle age
than she IL now developing In
the tied-in pannier and the flowing
tunic. These are dignifled styles for the
older matron. yet withal so graceful
that the younger matron will revel in
their beauty.
The ornamentation Of the seasons
modelf also lends itself to youth and
age alike. There Is excessive dignity
in rich medieval embroideries. some
touch Of which may yet be permissible
on the more youthful gown.
A little study will prove to the handy
homo dressmaker that these creations
are not beyond her own modest effort,
because there Is an undreamed-of SIM
plicity about the construction Of some
Of the most exquisite among them.
The return Of the girdle on many Of the
handsomer gowns will relieve the anna
teur Of much uncertainty: TO her the
princess model held q certain terror
which need no longer be faced, since
both tho princess and the girdled gown
arc at the disposal Of the present
weaEef.

Gilt on Ncckwear

W. TH Midas-like perseverance
w fashion has invaded the realm
w Of neckwear and placed upon
dainty white lace and linen golden
touch. And it Is lovely! The gold lace
used in combination with valenciennes
or fine tulle and net is cObwebby, ana
gives its metallic contrast without any
weight. Gold medallions are let In
along edges of frills or on pointed tabs
Embroidery Is worked with gold thread
outlining, and here and there are solid
patches which flash out in jewel form.
Neckwear can hereafter be made
thread or cord used on the blouse n
woven into the stock and jabot.

= union OF two very beautiful
colors. First Of all, there are chamois
vests embroidered with silver threads.
The effect is that of brocaded velvets.
and the color combination is sufficiently
softened so that this accessory can be
used with many shades of outer suits.
A chamois reticule Is strapped with
silver bands. and silver beads are scat
tered over the spaces between the bars
Chamois Is utilized for a detachable
background. over which barbaric open
mesh silver belt studded with topazes
Is clasped.
This new combination is worked up In
an attractive large hat. The shape Is OF
charpois skin. Silver lace is wrapped
around the high crown in soft folds, and
a gray osprey gives fluffy height.
This velvety yellow and silver should
be seized with enthusiasm by women
who aim for beautiful artistic combina-
tons In their attire.

THIEVES ENTER
('ILTNER Home
TWO MEN GO THROUGH HOUSE
OCCUPIED ONLY BY WOMEN
NOTHING MISSING.

Apparently acquainted with the fact
that z. A. Giltner was out OF the city
at the time, two unknown men en-
tered his residence, 1902 North
Court street late last night and made
search of the premises for money
while two women and three girls were
asleep in the house. Mrs. Giltner re-
Gently returned home from the Ottum-
wa hospital and was lying i'll in her
room at the time. She was awaken
ed about 1890 o'clock by the opening
and shutting of doors. The men were
heard going through the entire house
and it is supposed that the light burn
ing in her own room kept the
marauders from entering there. She
gave no alarm being helpless and not
wishing to brighten her children
Until recently W. H. Giltner has
made his home at his sons residence
and it is supposed the attempt was
made to rob the elder man, who at
times had considerable sums Of money
in the house. The police were called
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning,
after the burglars had left the resi-
dence, but no clues could be found at
that time. Two of the windows were
found to be disturbed and the men
had apparently left by the front door,
as it was found to be unlocked. Moth
ing at all has been missed from the
house today.
