PROMINENT LAWYER

CAPITAL CITY SOCIETY INTEREST
ED IN REPORT, WHICH is
UNcoNFIRMED

Santa Fe. N. NJ. May 12.-Rumor
has it that leading lawyer of this
city. who is also well known
throughout the territory, is to wed an
equally prominent member of Capital
City society in the near future. The
two have been seen together not
little of late and this has given rise
to the report of an early marriage. 1t
may be, however, that dame rumor is
mistaken and that the attachment of
the two is only that of friendship and
the enjoyment of each others COM
pany.
In any event, if this wedding does
not take place, there are several other
likely weddings in June, the month OF
brides and roses.

despite the presence of 1900 federal
troops in nearby barracks, escaped.
Santa Eulalia, an important mining
camp II miles to the east, has been
abandoned by all the municipal of.

surrectos. The place is now regulat.
ed wholly by Americans employed in
the mines.
This city, long in dread of an at

ever because of the extreme violence
shown by the insurrectos in their
lorth ward march. The whole district

New YORK, May 12.-The steamship

Fashions and Fads by M. f. CiIIey

Cotton voiles and zephyr cloth are
extremely popular for the building of
late summer frocks that are made a
1T dressy with lace and embroidery
trimmings.
For young girls natural-colored
pongee dresses are trimmed with
scarlet or brigh6 blue. giving at the
same time simplicity and suggestion
Of brightness.
The use of the narrower flounces Of
b shadow lace on fancy dinner and
evening costumes is a new style note
that is expected to become as strong
on this side as it is abroad.
! Foundation gowns of eyelest lace
are veiled with chiffon and vice versa,
tunics and overdresses of embroidery
are worn over dark and light-colored
/, satins and chiffons.
The side drapery effect on both
. corsage and skirt of evening gowns is
immensely favored and lends a certain
originality which would be difficult
oth 'Twise to achieve.
The buttons in use for coats and
suits are comparatively large and
usually disk-shaped, combining sew
eral colors in the various layers OF
material, of which they are COM
posed.
Some Of the new tailored serge
dresses are showing broad bands OF
embroidery around the hips. Blue
serge is trimmed with light blue; red
with brighter shade, and so on.
