Never allow the lace to remain in

Between US, her long hair in braids,
only the white bandage around her
forehead to suggest her wound, lay
the silent figure Of Katharine Parrish.
The pallor of her face seemed only to

eyes were closed, her long dark lashes
still gave expression. AS we watched,

French Raincoats.

The French raincoat is an excellent
one to wear with fine gowns 1t ia
made of rubberized crepe de chine and.
peau de sole. These coats are excel

in weight that they will not leave their

The couture matters not at all with
one of these quaint new evening caps
which are much the fad for theater
wear. The cap is made of pearl bead
ed gold net, which is mounted over
thin silk. Heavy pearl bead and tas-
sci ornaments at the sides drag the
cap down over the ears. The hair is
softly waved and drawn fluffy beyond
the edge of the cap.

Alderman Richard ]. Calvin ridE
cules a report that the Burke n
Cannon factions of the Democratic
party have become reconciled.
Thomas r. Burke, who opposed All
bert B~oilschweiler for the ~shrievalty
nomination, would not make a state
ment one way or another on the sub
ject today. He declared he was not
familiar with the political fight now
on over l.. C. Dalton; he was not
taking a part in the controversy and
was busy attending to his personal
affairs.
He said that as far al he knew
there had been general harmony in
Democratic ranks since election, just
as there is at the present time and
he stated that personally he knew
no reason why there should be any
getting together at this time. He.
declared he knew of no Ill feeling
between members Of tie party. He
said he had had no communication
with Richard j. Calvin.
When Mr.. Burke was reminded
there had been strife between his
crowd and the regular organization
about election time, he said there
had been harmony since election and
as far Is he knew the same harmony
still existed.
