Blaze at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Jan. 5--The fire depart
ment has begun an investigation OF
the fire which practically destroyed
the American Bridge company's build
ing and in which four men lost their
lives.
For some hours after the fire it wae
feared other firemen had persisted, but
an examination of the ruins CONVINCED
the firenen that only four men died.
The dead are: Fire Captain John
Hennessy, Fire Lieutenant Dominic
O'Donnell, Pipeman William Foley
and Pipeman Joseph Sullivan.
The fire started in the machine shop
of the plant and spread rapidly under
a terrific west wind The victims
were members of the first company to
reach the scene. Captain Hennessy
and his company were standing under
the wall of the plant, playing stream
on the flames, when the wind sent the
wall crashing down upon them before
they heard the shouts of warning
from other firemen.
Thousands of tons of brick buried
Hennessy and O'Donnell, crushing
them terribly, while Foley and Sulli-
van were running out of range when
they were struck down.

vantage. One would think that the
designer had no one in mind except
the woman between Is and 20. Af-
ternoon dresses, If they are of meteor,
satin or cashmire de soie-as they are
apt to be-run fearfully dear this sea-
son. Even though one chooses an in
expensive dressmaker and buys the
materials. such a frock, without any
handwork and with only bit of imi-
tation lace starts at $50.
The Egyptian feeling that has ap-
peared more often than usual this
season is boldly shouted IN a strik-
ing hat made of felt in very pale green
perhaps Jade would be better-trim-
med with old blue wings, shaped ex-
actly like the wings of a scarab and
a scarab plaque or cabachon of the
same old color, used to center them
when they come together.
Furs are in greater demand than
ever, and there is practically no end
to the uses to which they are put.
The best qualities are so expensive
that limitations are used today by even
the best in the land. Little a woman
cares what the origin or pedigree of
the pelt she is buying is, so long as
she achieves the appearance she is
seeking. And the furrier is very
frank about telling the real character
of his peltry. Bands of fur are intro
duced in unexpected places by the
dressmakers, who regard fur this sea-
son as one of the most effective of
trimmings. The gown of white satin
striped with black velvet and out
lined with fur about the neck and
sleeves and at the bottom of the skirt
is one of the best models of the sea-
son for dressy wear.
Stripes are we'll liked this season
and some of the crepes and thin
stuffs with velvet stripes are among
the most effective materials on the
counters. Crepe de chine with velvet
stripes is one of the delights. Bold
striped satins veled with gauzes make
up stunning gowns. Black is more
used in yelling than all the colored
gauzes put together.
Taupo has come back not only as
a fur but as a color. The fur of the
tiny field animal Is combined in rich
shawl and scarf shaped pieces with
costly ermine. But very humble furs
are costly this season and prices are
still rising. Haupo comes in all the
effective coarse weaves for tailor
mades. in the glossy broadcloths and
satins and in the Corduroys vel
veteens and the richest velvets. Tau
po colored chiffon is also used to veil
cOlprs when that tone is more telling
than the harder black. So far as col
or combination OF color is concerned
at this time, one cannot get out of
the way so long as the result is desir-
able.
