v WAR DANDlES

In 1863 and 1864 it was a common
occurrence to see a man arrayed in a
brown coat, purple waistcoat and
french blue trousers-a combination of
colors that would cause a riot IL they
were worn today.
In 1866 the derby hat was intro
duced, previous to which time every
man to be well dressed must wear the
tall beaver hat, often called a stovepipe,
the extreme height and shape sug-
costing the idea of a piece of stovepipe.
Between 1865 and 1869 milady's bon-
net disappeared. An eminent preach
er of that time exclaimed in the pulpit,
II have been requested to demonstrate
against >the ridiculous fashion of the
ladies' bonnets, but really when look
over this audience l cannot see any
bonnets!"
Then came the milliners' deformities
of 1875 and 1876. Skipping along, we
come to the tight sleeves of 1890. They
o gave place to the huge ones, and
in 1895 the cabinet photograph was
usually taken held horizontally to al

WINGED WONDER"
This revolution in style created quite
a sensation. If the fichu were removed
from the gown of 1890 it would have
looked far more In place in 1900 than
would the winged wonder of 1890"
as some men called the huge sleeved
gowns of that period.
The ~clinging, trailing gown was in
quite as marked contrast with the puff
ed and bunchy effect of the styles Of
1895.
The Easter sunbonnet came in with
1897 for the use of matrons and maids
Of artistic proclivities. The next year
the little maid also wore the sunbon-
net. and many patterns were offered
for 1t.
At the close of the nineteenth CEN
fury dress had reached the height Of
femininity-unsuited, perhaps. to the
practical life of the hour-the skirts
impeding freedom of movement, the
collars hiding ears, corsets often re-
tarding respiration, but the delicacy
and beauty of undergarments being
in marked contrast to the shapeless
vestments Of long ago.

THIEVES GET S1OO, 1000
Morgan Residence Scene of One Janu-
airy Robbery.

New York. Jan. 29.-During the
month of January thieves have stolen
more than 100000 worth of jewelry
in New York city. according to the po-
lice lists which are. sent monthly to
pawnshops.
A notable section of the lists is de-
voted to loot taken by burglars who
entered the home of J. P. Morgan, jr.
last Thursday night and departed
without being seen. The haul includ-
ed two watches, two scarf pins, a gold
chain and four pocketboolxs, one full
of English bank notes-including q.
$3.50 and several $50 notes@another
containing American money, papers,
passes, etc, and a third containing
French mOney-thirty 100 franc bills
and thirty-five 20 franc gold pieces.
Even more interesting is the an
nouncement that search is being made
for gold pendant bearing the insignia
of the Order of the Garter The police
decline to state whether this is part of
the Morgan loot. The decoration is
perhaps the most notable of its kind
in England. The order is limited to
rs knight companions with the sove-
reign, the Prince of Wales, and a few
royal dignitaries admitted by special
statute. On the death of a knight his
insignia must be returned to st. James
palace. However, since the year 1348,
when the order was founded, this con-
dition has not always been fulfilled.
The collections of J. p. Morgan contain
several of the badges.

Only Thirty Five Cases in Town
This Morning.
This Afternoon Hardly Grocer
Had Eggs ON Sale.
HENS NOT IN MOOD.
Have Not Recovered From Cold
Spell a Week Ago.
Butter Also Demanding a Steep
Price.

The Topeka man who comes down
town on the car tomorrow morning
with egg in the corners of his mouth
will be considered the luckiest as well
as the real aristocrat of the town.
Wholesalers this morning report only
thirty-fve cases of eggs inside the
city limits. Only a few of the grocery
stores were able to sell eggs to their
customers this morning. This after
noon hardly an egg could be found
Cold storage eggs are all gone. The
Seymour Packing company and the
Continental company throw up their
hands when you speak of eggs Gro
GERS say they haven't seen the shape of
a cold storage egg for many days. Only
fresh eggs are coming into the city and
they are being sold out as fast as they
arrive
Topeka, in other words is depending
upon the surrounding territory to fur
nish the egg supply When the local
trains come into the city in the morn
ing the few cases that they carry are
gobbled UP and sold on the early de-
liveries. The thirty-five cases report
ed above were registered this morn
ing. This afternoon only a few OF the
outlying stores were able to furnish
the hen fruit.
There is no market for eggs in To-
peka- No one is able to quote prices.
0OHlG SIOCSIS SdS upon luQulIS Il
had some eggs 1 would let you have
them for 35 cents dozen" Others
insist: I'VE have only a few eggs in
the house and We can not let them
go for less than three cents each We
are offered as much as three and a
half cents apiece for them
The trouble over the egg supply
seems to lay with the hens naturally
If the hens are not in the right mood,
all the kings horses and all the kings
men are una Bile to make eggs.
Some of the dealers say that the
hens have not recovered from the re-
cent cold spell. They say that the eX-
treme weather stunted the supply
and the hens have not been in the
right disposition since. If the weather
STAYS warm for week longer the
dealers are expecting more eggs.
Then there are many commits sion
men who say that it is too early in
the season for hens to make their
warm before the hens are profitable.
They eat just as much in cold weather, |
but they produce less.
1t is rumored in Topeka also that
the country shipments are being held
UP. Keepers of memories believe they |
will receive a better price for their |
eggs if they wait a few days longer. i
In many cities eggs are selling al 40
cents a dozen In Topeka the price /
will stay around the 35-cent mark IN
less the weather stays warm.
Butter stays at 45 cents a pound and /
will stay that way for a good many |
weeks There is plenty in cold stor
age, but no one seems anxious to get
rid of it at a cheaper price The re- /
ceipts of fresh butter have decreased /
greatly.

THEIR EFFORTS FAIL
Topeka Loses Sunday School Contest

Seventy-five members of the Topeka

school and preparation of the lesson
were taken into consideration.
A parade was formed at o'clock in
front of the Commerce building which
was composed of the Knights and La
dies of Security band in the lead, and
members of the Commercial club. The
representation of Commercial club men
who marched in the procession over to
the church was not large. for many of
them preferred to go direct to the place
of worship.
1t was a rousing meeting. The band
played sacred selections, but varied the
program with light and airy Span

that almost started ones feet to NOV

furnished music. and two solos We're

There were 237 pupils in the adult

Miss Nanon Heron of the class had

Roosevelt sentiment is strong. A large
