A PEERLESS LOVED A BROKER.
Now cohn Sues Lady Michelham for
DAMAGES.

London, Feb. 16.-Arthur Cohn, a
wealthy stockbroker has sued Lady
Michelham for damages, alleging that
she was the author of a telegram to
him which was read by his wife and
threatened to disrupt their home.
Lady Mcclellan Is much younger
than her husband and is very hand.
some woman, whose entertainments,
gowns and jewels have made her a
widely known figure in society. She
is said to have entertained great
regard for COIN, more nearly her own
age than her husband, but the stock
broker did not hold the same views
toward Lady Michelham, and, in fact,
did not suspect her interest was other
than that of hostess to a guest at
her home.
He experienced rude awakening on
trip to Paris few months ago to
visit his family sojourning there. He
found his home in the midst of a
domestic tempest. A telegram ad.

ceived during the course of the day.

but there is some mistake" he de-
clared He was regarded with glances
of scorn and pity. He protested that
he did not know the vivacious Collette,
had never seen her in his life, except
across the footlights when she was
doing her charming dances in stage,
and had no aspirations to hold her
in his arms or Quench her thirst for
kisses. Finally he agreed to lay the
matter before Mile. D'Augny, and the
dancer was called in to a family coun.
Gil.
Mile. D'Augny shared COINS feelings
OF indignation over the telegram and
an investigation was started. This
led to the belief that Lady Michelham
had sent the forged telegram and that
her object was to disrupt COINS home
in the hope that he would turn to her
in his loneliness.
Mile. D'Augny expressed her feelings
in suit for damages against Lady
Michelham. 1t was not allowed to

MAIL CLERK is A PASSENGER.
He Has Right to Same Protection from
Railroad as Others.

Springfield, H., Feb. 16.-That men
in the employ of the mail service have
the same rights upon railroad trains
as other passengers and that railroad
companies are bound to exercise the
same care as to their protection from
injury as regular passengers, the SUI
preme court handed down an opinion
in the case of w. A. Barker against
the Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis rail
way.
Barker, a mail clerk, received in
juries in collision and sued the com
pany for $4,000. The case was tried
in the Sangamon county circuit court,
where the railroad company set up the
defense that a mail carrier was not a
passenger and was not entitled to re-
cover. Judge Creighton held that a
mail clerk was passenger, and jury
gave verdict in the sum of $4,000, on
which judgment was later rendered for
the sum of $4,000. The supreme court
upheld the lower court.

WHITE SERGE FOR SUITS.
Separate Skirts viii be Made OF the
Same Material

New York Feb. l6.--Whilc Serge
will be largely used for suits. as well
as for separate skirts, this coming
season. A nice white wide vale serge
can be had for Sligo yard and a
pretty one is only $l.39.
The peasant type dress which has
had such vogue in Paris is now be-
ing displayed in New York shops. and,
owing to its simplicity, promises to
become popular.
One OF the new spring dress models
has plated underskirt of plain silk
and an overdress in the polonaise style
OF figured foulard, the ground of which
matches the skirt In color.
The guimpe and undersleeves are OF
lace. 1t Is decidedly pretty and car
ries us back to the styles OF quarter
century ago.
For the woman who considers the
sweater too manish for feminine wear,
there is very pretty worsted sacque.
1t is hand crocheted, and can be had in
various colors at $6.75.
AS the fit of the gown depends so
much upon the undergarments, the
well dressed woman of today demands
a good fitting petticoat.
The tailor made article with its
severe, close fitting lines and the sim
pie finish of tucks or folds, is there
fore in the greatest demand. 1t should
be the same color as the gown.
Imported patent leather handbags,
in all the new spring colors to match
the costume, are extremely pretty.
They are in the popular medium size
and only IS.
Advance displays Of hats for the lit
tie people show preference for the
Milans with simple trimming of
shirred ribbon or velvet ribbon and
tiny blossoms. Even the wee little
tots will wear these hats this sum
mer.
Chiffon scarfs trimmed with mara
bou or the white fur are finding favor
for evening wear. The fur is applied
either as simple border or as bands
to cover the entire scarf. One in
brown chiffon over green crepe de
chine has the marabou bands and is
a beauty at $3.50.
Maine figures largely in the new
hat trimmings. One hat with brim
of rough straw has full tam crown
of maline, and the only trimming be.
ing straw cabochon.
Another is made entirely of black
malne, prettily shirred.
