HUNTING FOR R0BBER.
Police Seek Man Who Stole $500 From
Robert Billiard.


The police are investigating a mys-
FERROUS robbery early Tuesday. when
$500 was taken from the desk In the
office of Robert Billiard, manager of
the Mutual Ice company on lower
Quincy street. Marks where q prying
tool had been employed in breaking
open the desk and drawer and a cut
window screen, showed the work of
the burglar.
The fact that an employe of the fac
tory had slept in q room above the
Office without being disturbed indf-
Gated that the robbery was just before
daylight while the employe was out
side experimenting the weighing out
of ice to drivers. A peculiar .circum-
stance, noted by Detective Josiah Ross,
was that the edges Of the cut screen
were turned out as il the cutting pres
sure had been done from the inside
A days work on thescase has thrown
no light upon it. Mr.. Billiard, who is
son of Mayor J. B. Billiard, said that
he placed about $500 of his personal
money in the drawer of the desk when
he closed the Office Monday night, The
factory money had been locked in the
safe, which was unmolested.
1 The police are puzzled over the rob-
berry They have canvassed every pos
sibility with Manager Billiard and have
not fastened the crime upon anyone
connected with the ice plant. But they
have been equally unable to trace it to
anyone on the outside who may have
known where to look for the money
and how to enter the Office without
arousing the only occupant of the
building

FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. cilIsy.

Dog collars, whether a simple
band of velvet fastened with a more
or less elaborate buckle or made up
OF strands of pearls, coral, or jet, are
exceedingly smart.
The selvedge, not only of wool,
plays a conspicuous role in dress
making. Some of the new materials
have wide ribbon edges of the same
or contrasting color.
A piece of old Chantilly lace, which
is too much broken for ordinary use,
can have the figures cut out and APP
pliqued on a chiffon gown, thus max
ing it very elaborate.
A simple finish for a black gown may
be nothing more than a narrow band
of coral color attached to the low
round neck with a fagotting stitch.
Similar bands trim the sleeves.
There are two kinds of hatpins Of

the very new things in style. One
is made Of ivory, the other Of Irish

When the sewing machine becomes

proved by the usual cleaning. remove
the machine head, place it in a small
zinc tub or large dishpan. and pour
two gallons of gasolene over it.
Pour cupful after cupful of the gaso-

used for princess slips, worn under
the white lingerie gown.
One of the features of the present
season is the little tunic of wolfe,
marquisette or chiffon cloth made for
wear over the gown of the foulard, Of
taffeta, and above all, over the frock
of lingerie persuasion.
Silk flowers, made so exactly that it
is difficult to tell them from original
models, are used for fastenings at the
neck in place of the conventional pin.
These are especially modish with the
collarless afternoon gown.
One of the newest ideas in trim
ming is the use of overlapping but
tons to finish skirts and coats. The
buttons are put on one above the
other so that their rims overlap each
other and make a continuous line.
The brass nettings for the top of
bowls, originally called pansy bowls.
are to be had in sizes to fit almost
any receptacle for flowers. Fancy
brass holders are found in shops. too,
for vases of white or green glass.
The peach basket hat is still with
us; the mob cap is dominant; the
sweeping cavalier is seen every
where; the bell-shaped morning hat
is in evidence, and the modified Direc-
toire bonnet is considered among the
best choices.
Ribbons of every variety, seemingly
are called upon to contribute to the
seasons fashions. Especially popular
are the warp prints for girdles and
sashes at the present time and there
is still a later trend in the use oil
plain and velvet ribbons for the same
