six homeless men, under the hospitality

Fashions and Fads by M. E. CiIIey

A large, soft wooden cord, white
and fluffy. is much used in trimming
simple hats.
Velvet bids fair to become ex-
ceedingly popular, both for street and
evening wear.
Never was there such a rage for
bordered silks-and never were bord-
cred silks more glorious.
Tulle is very much in evidence for
trimming the finer hats and gowns
and for all sorts Of accessories.
Belts of suede and patent leather
will continue in first fashion for late
summer and early fall wear.
Velvet, il is conceded, will be more
IN evidence than any other fabric used
for entire hats and trimmings.
Cord girdles in silk and wool Will
still be worn for evening and day cos
tunes in Empire and tunic modes.
Purple is to have a reign among
the fayorites, and clear emerald green
will also be within the royal circle.
Wings. apparently bound to the
crown with silk cords and tassels, are
among the novelties shown in new
millinery
Broadcloths are being made up By
some OF the Paris houses in combi-
nation with serge, and may again be-
come popular.
The revival OF pipings is being
stimulated by some novelties which
lare in keeping with the new cult OF
I mixing materials.
worsted embroideries done in
bright colored crewels are used as
enlivening touches on costumes, suits
and wraps.
Lace promises 10 be very much
used. Lace over-dresses and lace
combined with tafteta or satin for
evening gowns will continue popu'
/ lar
Shawl-shaped mantles promise Ia
become one OF the leading shapes for
the winter in fur, velvet, cloth and the
heavy double-faced satins,
Swathed draperies with fringed
borders, long pendant sashes ending
in silk fringe, scarfs and mantles with
! fringe trimmings are numerous.

RECALLS TwIGG.ELOssER CASE,

CUMBERLAND. Nd, Sept. 27.-An
echo of the Twigg- -Elosser tragedy is
found in the filing here of a suit for
divorce by Samuel l.. Twigg from his
wife, Urilla Jane Twigg.
The principals in this suit are the
parents of the late Charles r. Twigg,
the merchant and orchardist of Key
ser, w. Va, who was found dead
seated with his flancee. Miss Grace
Elosser, in the parlor of the Elosser
home in Cumberland on tho after
noon Of December 81 last. They
were to have been married next day.
Samuel J. Twigg and his wife had
been separated for several years pre-
vious to the tragedy, but a temporary
reunion was brought about over the
dead body of the son. The father has
always ttoutly maintained that HIS
boys death was not due to accident
The ground on which Twigg asks
divorce is desertion and Mrs. Twige
is cited to appear either in person oI
by solicitor, on or before October %
to show cause why the decree should
not be granted. Mrs. Twigg is living
with her sons on a farm near Keyser
w. Va.

LIBRARY CONTEST
SHOWS STRENGTH
Determined Workers for Con-
teStants Gathering the
Ballots Steadily
BY A. 0. Johnson, S2 Union Square
New York City.


The department store of Lippincott
and Company has been a regular bee
hive of voters since the contest start
ed. Hundreds of women and children
anxious to avail themselves of the
perfect world of bargains and the
avalanche Of votes here have been
making things hum since August End.
The big department store is the
center of armies of voters for there
is not a product of the manufactur-
er's art that cannot be seen here. This
big store is teeming with thousands
Of useful articles and naturally is and
will continue to be the headquarters
for women interested in the big con-
test. The large ballot box installed
here will perform its service for any
and all alike, so if voters want to be
in the swim, they will have to join the
ranks of the multitude and conserve
the interests of their favorite here.
Voters should never lose sight of
the generous and daily opportunities
offered by the progressive contest mer-
chants, for as many times stated,
there is not an expenditure you wish
to make from the photographer to the
drug store than can not be converted
into votes
Today is Wednesday, September 27.
Saturday, September 30, thousands Of
dollars worth of votes cast during the
last week will be recorded. This leaves
but a very few weeks for voters to
fan the flame, and no doubt when
