PERHAPS WOMAN IS WRONG
Miss Nellie Meehan May Not Have
Been Attacked as Claimed.

Miss Nellie Meehan May NOT Rave
Been Attacked as Claimed.
Rutland, Nov. 14-As day after
day goes by and not the slightest
trace OF the man whom Miss Nellie
Meehan OF Starksboro, school
teacher at Sudbury, says assaulted
her at schoolhouse in the latter
town November 6, is found, people
living in the vicinity and even some
of the officers who have been con-
Quoting the case, are beginning to be-
lieve that there may never have
been any assault committed The
idea is rapidly gaining ground that
the whole thing may have been an
hallucination OF the young woman.
She is of a nervous temperament,
about the type of woman known as a
neurasthenic and there are circum-
stances involving her family history,
which tend to show that the solution
of the mystery, which is now being
suggested, is worth looking into
The fact that the alleged assault
was committed In the morning when
number OF people were astir in the
vicinity, yet the woman's supposed
assailant totally disappeared from
the face OF the earth from the time
he should have left the little school
house, lent mystery to the aifair at
the very first. but not until within q
day or two has much thought been
given the idea that no assault took
place.
Almost the entire sheriff depart
ment OF Rutland county have beer
at work on the case and considerable
expert evidence bearing on II ha:
also been secured. The search has
not yet been abandoned. but thos,
who were among the first on tn,
ground say that the condition OF tn,
woman's clothing and surrounding
at the schoolhouse. together will
what is known OF some of her an
cestors fully bear out the hallucina
4 ton idea.

Aviator May Be Strapped to Biplsne
New Explanation for his Fall

Los Angeles. Cal, Nov 16.-Avia-
tor c. p Rodgers is planning to
complete the ocean to ocean fight,
which was SO nearly ended when he
fell near Compton, early next week.
Rodgers is suffering from severe
sprains in both ankles, and it will be
necessary for him to be strapped in
his machine with his feet in plaster
casts If the fight is made.
Plaster casts won't bother me, "
said Rodgers. Il can fly with feet
amputated If necessary, and I'm go
ing to touch the Pacific with my
skids If 1t kills me-"
1t will take the staff OF mechanics
at least five days to repair the bro
ken parts and tune up the biplane.
Then Rodgers will be ready to fly
over the remaining seven miles to
Long Beach.

MANY DEER KILLED

in the road few yards ahead OF

Brattleboro, Nov. 15.-Early this
forenoon the first deer to be shot
in the open season which began at
o'clock this morning was reported
from West Brattleboro. Harold Min
er and two companions, Frank and
Emery Miller each killed buck near
Round mountain. The animal shot
by Miner weighed about 200 pounds
and Frank Miller's prize tipped the
scales at about the same weight. Tie
one killed by Emery Miller weighed
about $50 pounds and had five points
The other two were four-point speci-
mems. About three inches Of snow,
the first Of the season, fell last night
and the tracking of deer is easy.

that number of deer killed the first

an autumn suit that suggests slop-
piness and though, later on, when
furs are donned many women take up
comfortable collarless bodices again,
the boned stock is almost sure to
make its appearance with the fall two
piece suit.
There is a growing tendency to dis
card the peasant sleeve with its cling
ing shoulder line for a closeftting
sleeve set into an arms eye; and many
of the new sleeves bell out toward
the lower edge. A Paris frock which
attracted much attention at the open
ings last month had loose bell sleeves
over undersIeeves of net, and in these
undersleeves, just below the elbow,
were inserted hoops of whalebone, the
sleeve being gathered below in bishop
style. This fashion, however, is very
extreme and will not materially in
f1uence fall shirtwaist sleeves. Long
shoulder lines will continue in vogue

and some waists show shoulders ex-
tending several inches down over the
arm with the sleeve set in between
shoulder and elbow in quaint, old
fashioned style. Many of the French
bIouses of lingerie material have long
sleeves edged with pleated frills which
fall over the hand. picturesque, but
rather untidy fashion which never OBJ
tains enthusiastic favor with women
who have anything to do except sit
with idle hands. These doppy sleeve
pIeatings are matched by huge jebots
which taper toward the waistline but
at the top extend clear to the shout
der where the 5abot is pinned with &
long bar-pin.
Tailored Waists OF Striped silk.
For pot-about wear with morning
tailored suits the silk blouses with
mannish cut and long sleeves are i'm
mensely chic. These blsuses are
made of washable silk and mercer
lied pongee fabric which is very silky
and lustrous. They are perfectly
plain, with a few tucks in front to
lend sufficient fullness over the bust.
and mannish sleeves finished with
turned back cuffs. The high turnover
collar is pinned trinity beneath a
four-in-hand tie of silk In the early
fall days the shops always show fan
mel shirtwaists and attractive f1annels
by the yard for making up these
waists for winter wear; but flannel
waists are really too warm in our
heated houses and under fur and
heavy cloth coats; and they are too
informal in type to be really smart
with tailored suits. The well cut
waist of washable silk is much pref
tier and quite as comfortable for win
ter wear to the average woman.
New Lace Waists For Afternoon
Wear.
1t was Worth who revived interest
last spring in the lace blouse and
separate skirt, and though the white
blouse and dark skirt are never har-
monious on the standing figure, and
are in the worst of taste for any oc-
casion where standing or walking
about are necessary, for matinee and
/ luncheon or tea wear these dainty
blouses are quite permissible. Two
charming new lace blouses are illus
trated. One is made of alternating
strips of Maltese and val and Is
mounted over a cherry red chiffon
slip. pipings of cherry red satin and
TRY buttons of the satin making a
smart trimming. The other waist Is
most graceful model, also made of
insertions joined together. but in this
case the insertions are very wide and
are clearly dovetatled to suggest a
solid material.

a

smart driving and motor costumes
at the races in Paris this summer.
Such a bag would scarcely answer
for day in and day out use, but occa-
sionally, with certain costumes 1t is
very smart and effective. These bags
have braided cord handles combining
white and black cord, and sometimes
there is g. smaller purse inside for
small coins.
The real reticule is drawn up at the
top with a drawstring through a casing
and bags of this sort are carried with
theatre and evening frocks, or in the
afternoons, with dressy bridge frocks.
The trouble with such g. ba- is that
the belongings inside must be Jumbled
together in some confusion and one
does not care to carry more than
handkerchief, change purse and a
trinket or two. In many Of the large
shaped bags, there are pockets in
which small belongings may be stow
ed away, for of course the beauty of
such a bag is its fiat, limp appear
ance and a tumble of things inside
would spoil this soft f1atness.
The few leather bags in ccnven-
tional shopping style conform to the
reticule idea as much as possible and
have odd shapes, flap covers and long
handles in strap style or made of the
fashionable cord. For travelling use
of course the leather bag is the only
correct sort and the business woman
If she be a business woman who

the frivolous reticule and carries q
good looking leather bag in keeping
with her occupation and her trig,

tai colorings are exceedingly hand

tiful bag of this sort, carried the other
afternoon at Newport by a devotee of
bridge, was of reseda green silk en-
broidered all over in a peacock design
done with green and gold silks. Small
gold beads were worked into the en-
broidery and the handles were of
gold cord. This bag was lined with
gold colored satin and there was
special pocket for bridge winnings.
Net yelled bags are very beauti-
full but perhaps the most perisha BILE
sort for the net covering does not
wear as sturdily as heavier fabrics.
A beautiful bag of this type, exhibited
in a Fifth Avenue window last week,
was made of bright blue satin yelled
with silver gray net on which were
embroideries of metal and colored
beads in an Oriental crescent pattern.
The handle was of blue silk cord and
silver cord braided together. From
Paul Poiret comes a very striking bag
of mustard yellow Ottoman silk en-
broidered in a bold Oriental pattern
in shades of green, rose and violet.

ment on everything in sight and the
stencilled trimmings are so cheap and
so easy to apply that a very little of
this garniture will be its only dis
tinction.
In new embroideries on fall waists
very pretty effects have been achieved
by working big. conventional flowers
with silk floss and filing in the CEN
ters with colored chiffon or dyed lace.
Tall Collars Again Now.
Most of the chiffon and silk blouses
have shallow lace yokes set in the
rounded or V shaped decoIletage and
more and more high, boned stock col
lars are noted at the top of these
yokes. Dutch necks will doubtless be
worn in the house, but with the trig,
good looking autumn street suit, a
high collar around the throat is by far
the smarter choice. There is some
thing about low neck dressing with
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-08-12

The shape is slightly oval with a long
point at the bottom and a lattice fringe
of fine gold beads weighted with long
tasseIs depends from the bottom of
the bag. The handles are of gold cord
and pass through rings of gold braid
in military fashion. In fact many of
the new Partisan reticules suggest
military effects with their eavy trim
mings of gold lace, fringe and braid.
Some of the handsomer bags which
are intended for theatre and restau-
rant use are accompanied by beautiful
little fans which fit into the bag.
These fans are made of gauze or silk
with embroideries and bead trimmings
that match the outside of the bag
and the effects are invariably rich and
Oriental in suggestion. Oriental and
especially East Indian effects being
the craze in Paris now.
Even the gold and silver mesh bags
now have long handles. made of
cords or slender chains which may be
slung over the shoulder in a manner
approved by Dame Fashion.
