BRocADEs IN HIGH FAVOR
Makers and Designers Return to BY
gone Age for Material and
Fabric.

As the fashions seem to have gone
back nearly a century in line and gen.
eral effect. SO have the makers and
designers returned to a bygone age
for material and fabric. Brocades are
in high favor for formal evening
dresses at present and lend them
selves well to the quaint high-waisted
effects and straight. narrow skirts
which are now the mode.
Black and gold combinations, which
are perhaps the favorite of the bro
cades, are extremely beautiful. Ivory
white with pastel pink and corn color
are also lovely. the soft pastel shades
being particularly dainty. But In ad.
dition to those are the brilliant empire
green's. East Indian yellows. brilliant
blues, deep amethyst and black.
The beauty Of the texture Of these
fabrics and the perfection of the dye.
together with the large, though some
what conventional patterns. result in
wonderfully attractive fabrics.

BAMBOO FOR SUMMER HOMES
Light and Servlceable Material is
Now Employed Whenever II
Can Be Utilized.

Wood brown bamboo, woven into
all sorts of pretty and useful shapes
for the adornmeRt of summer house
and veranda. occupies conspicuous
place in oriental stores these days.
We are all more or less acquainted
with the possibilities of the Japanese
and Chinese tree, but certainly We
never see 1t to better advantage than
in the queer articles which decorate
summer rooms SO prettily.
Flower vases are among the most
popular of the bamboo developments.
They come in variety OF shapes. the
most effective being the earthenware
shapes we are accustomed to asso-
ciate with Mexico or the Indians.
Inside are sheet iron or metal re-
ceptacles to hold the water. Most
any flower would show to advantage
against the dull brown of the bamboo.
Oval and rectangular ferneries OF
bamboo are attractive.
Flat tea trays Of bamboo are light
and effective. especially when the
table is laid on the veranda. Hang
ing baskets in every conceivable

in pure white or an ivory tone, and
SO treated will be charmingly effective
in a great number OF color combina-
tions. Maple stained to a silver gray
like the color Of hornets nest Is one
of the very prettiest woods for a bed

woodwork and furniture. Mahogany

ned to contrast we'll with 1t, but 1t is
best used for furniture alone. as 1t is
rather too full OF color for the wood
work. An almost universally salts
factory treatment for the walls is to
windows carried all around the rooms
as a frieze rail. and slender upright
partitions of wood SO placed between
the frieze rail and Dashboard SO as to
divide the wall spaces into compart-
ments or panels. This structural di-
vision allows wide variations In the
decoration Of the walls. The frieze
may either be plain and exactly like
the ceiling with decided contrast

be in a color contrasting with both
and forming a connecting link between
the two.

of her husband, who has been miss
ing for two weeks and a half, up TO
last night. She has sent a letter TO
a sister in Europe In an effort to
learn Of the Whereabouts Of his
brother, and, also to other relatives
in this country. 1t IS believed he
has a brother living in Chicago. she
is using every possible means Of To-
eating her husband. Anxiety has
grown to fear In her coy little home
in upper Brace avenue, as she sob
bingIv told a NEWS representative
Yesterday that he had talked queer
~ shortly before his Disappearance.
He was In difficult financial straits
and was therefore urged by ms wife
to give up his business and, If ueces-
sary, 20 out and work for someone.
His pride would not permit him to
take such action; he would not bear
to see his misunderstanding ma
chinery sold and would rather sell d
house he owned.
Mrs. Won Windheim has fears that
her husband may not be alive at this
time, as, If ne was, she believes he
would surely communicate with her.
When last seen he said he we5 go
ing to Railway on a job. He had
but TWENTY-FIVE cents with him anG
therefore Mrs. Won Windheim be-
lieves he could not have reached far.
Response to queries shows he never
reached Railway. No one has been
found who has since seen him in this
city or vicinity.

SAY boy ROBBED
HIS EMPLOYER
Roofing Company Declares He
Knew Safe Combination.

Having confessed to stealing up
wards of $40 from former employ
ers, John GaTyoniak, a seventeen
year old youth Of 687 State street, is
locked up in a cell awaiting action
of the police. While the lad In re-
Spouse to questions asked him by the
police admits that he only took about
$140, r. c. Wright and Clarence H.
Wright, of the New JERSEY Roofing
Company, Of PA King street, with
whom he had worked, say he took at
least $3.50. They declare he knew
the combination of the cOmpany's
safe and began taking small sums
from it until he became holder and
took amounts as high as SO at a
time. The police tralIed him about
the country and nabbed him Thurs
day night when he alighted from q
train in Jersey City. He is now
locked up here on a charge OF grand
larceny preferred by Clarence
Wright, of the roofing firm, while the
police are weaving a web of convict
ing evidence about him.
Garvoniak began work as an office
boy for the New Jersey Roofing Com
pany about three years ago. He spent
most of his time In the Office of the
company and thereby learned the
combination of the safe. The com
pany officials have no evidence of
any robberies while he was office
boy, but later when he was made a
roofer and given employment out
side he was found out, tits declared.
The %robberies began about Jan
uary /, last. While the officers
locked the safe nights and 1t was
found locked the next day they be-
gan to miss various small amounts.
Later larger amounts were missed
and the thievery was kept up until
July 8, when Garvoniak admits he
made his last haul. He left the city
on July 7 and journeyed through a
portion of New York state, stopping
at various points among which were
Buffalo. The local police became
appraised of the case and devised
clever means of trailing him. They
kept in close touch with his actions
and as soon as he returned to this
state where they had Jurisdiction to
arrest him he was apprehended. De-
tective Sergeant John Huff made the
arrest.

Curious and Destructive Worm That
Digs Tunnels In Wood.
1t was In 1871 that Holland mar
rowly escaped i%nundation along its
coast because the tlmbers of the sea
bikes in many parts were discovered
to be quite unsound. The timely dis
covery of the real condition Of the
bikes saved the country from al awful
catastrophe, the full extent Of which
was comprehended by only a few
Dutchmen.
The timbers had been honeycombed
by the teredO, or shipworm. This
creature burrows into any wood i'm
mersed In sea water. 1t makes an
entrance when young and digs chan
nels along the grain of the wood, Ev-
ing and often dying IN the timber. The
worm grows in some localities to a
length of twelve inches, its girth be-
ing one and a half inches, and the
curious thing about Its whiplike body
is its exceeding tenderness. 1t cannot
bear its own weight. 1t will break If
subjected to any strain.
1t will burrow straight along the
grain of the wood unless turned aside
by a knot or nail, and, no matter how
many of these worms may be burrow-
ing in the same piece Of wood, they
never run their channels into n an
other. By some marvellous instinct
