Tlniest Pearls Liked.

Ropes of pearls with tasseled ends
were much seen a few seasons ago,
but it was thought the fashion would
be fieeting. 1t has, however, proved
permanent so far, and has brought
along with 1t the revival of an old
plan for making use of the tiniest
pearls. There is fashionable de-
-mand for threaded pearl bracelets and
other jewelry of strung pearls. de-
vised after the fashion in which chill
dren thread beads. The effect is light
and graceful and the ornaments are
popular among young women. Annie

has many of the trinkets in her we'd

Practical Novelties.

A most convenient collar box COW
cred with cretonne is of octagonal
shape and has a groove in little in
side flap for holding the elusive but
tons, which can be easily slid in and
out.
Among the most useful and attrac-
tive of the numerous bags shown are
those of tapestry woven in pictures.
Some of these are for carrying slip
pers. fan or opera glasses. One par
ticularly well adapted to the latter
purpose is made of threeinch wide
strip of tapestry interlined with stiff
ening. This continuous strip forms the
sides and bottom of the bag, the front
and back of which are of plain fabric
which is gathered at the top with a
cord.
A new voluminous darning bag OF
cretonne has applied pockets and a
needle case on the outside A particu.
larly dainty and unique fancy bag is
in the form of Chinese lantern.
The Colorado statesman., 1911-06-10

color scheme is white and green
The rosette, made of white MESA
line, is shown mounted with smilax
and asparagus fern. The effect is de
lightful. Narrow ribbons are used as
well as wide ones and innumerable
graceful forms seem to lie asleep in
the brain of this ingenious man. Let
a whisper reach them that they are
needed and they rush to his finger
tips. Many professional women. mil
liners and others, are taking up this
work of ribbon for decoration and
it may prove a new profitable accom-
plishment for them. Ribbons will not
supplant natural flowers entirely, but
they will bring about a new order oi
things. Fewer blossoms will be used
and greater effectiveness given tc
those that so appear.
We shall be spared the little hurt
that turks in the dropping fading flow
er because those that are used Will be
placed in vases while ribbons and TO
liage will make a marvellous back
ground for them.

GOOD IDEAS IN ET0N SUIT
In Heavy Blue Serge, Costume for
Young Girl Called Forth Much
Admiration.

Such a pretty little Elton suit for a
young girl was seen the other day. 1t
was heavy blue serge, in the dark
reglation shade.
The skirt was made quite plain, com
ing slightly higher than the nor
NAL waist line to give the contln-
uous line SO becoming to the fem
mime figure.
1t was the little jacket, however
which was novel and unusual. 1t had
a deep sailor collar in back, In point
ed revers in the front. This collar
was of natural colored pongee, edged
first with paint line of brilliant coral
silk and below that with a wide black
silk braid.
Two huge buttons fastened it at
the side, while the almost long sleeves
were finished with turn-back cuffs
which carried out the same trimming

CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
Open Air Preachers Who Were In
Town Recently

Two men with long flowing boards
and hair that falls below their shout
ders attracted considerable attention.
preaching here recently. Dressed in
long drab Quaker coats and trousers
OF the same color, these two barehead-
ed apostles presented an odd appear
ance as they stood addressing a gath
ering OF considerable proportion at
Main and South streets.
The open air preachers are men,
bers of the Israelite House Of David
a religious sect that has a colony To-
Gated at Benton Harbor Mich. There
are about 600 men. women and chill
dren In the colony there.
They are engaged. they state, in
the ingathering and restoration OF the
lost tribes OF Israel that are scattered
among all nations. Gathered togeth-
er in that place the lost Eden will be
restored In the upright living of all
men. Flesh and blood cannot enter
into the kingdom, they contend, but
flesh and bone can. The blood is
what contains the iniquity OF men and
the effort should be TO get rid of the
blood through pure living. When the
blood is gotten rid OF, the man will
be immortal. This boodless state
which brings with 1t freedom from
death is what the followers of the sect
are seeking. They are vegetarians,
believing 1t is wrong to take the life
OF any living thing. They do not be-
lieve in marriage, and live lives OF
Icelibacy.
Connected with the colony at Ben,
ton Harbor are zoo acres of land on
which they grow fine fruit and vege
tables that are shipped to all parts Of
the country. They contend that
every true Nazarite lets his hair grow
as Christ did, and they make an ef
fort to appear as much like Him as
possible The two leaders and found
ers Of the colony are Mary and Ben
Jamin. these being names that they
took upon themselves when they en-
tered the colony. The two men who
are doing missionary work here art
called Irving and Francis, these beinl
adopted names.

"TWELETH NIGHT" PERFORMED.

With r. II. Sothern as Malvolio and Julia
Marlowe as Viola, Twelfth Night was
given at the Manhattan Opera House last
night for the first time during the present
New York season OF these Shakespearian
players The repertory Of the Sothern-
Marlowe company consists OF seven Of
Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies, and
the fact that all seven Of them are TO be
presented during the evenings and matt
nees of this coming week indicates what
can be done in repertory work in New
York, and what will be supported by New
York audiences. In view Of the fact that
the word constantly goes out that neither
Shakespeare nor repertory work of any
kind can succeed In this city, the record
