HAVE A NOVELTY IN GLOVES
Something Decidedly New That Is a
Welcome Addition to tho
Fashions.

To discover a novelty in gloves is
a feat worth chronicling. The newest
gloves bear the name so familiar this
season-Robespierre These kid
gloves are given the novel touch in
the turnover cuffs which display a
lining contrasting in color to the
glove. A tan glove, for instance, will
have a red or kings blue lining,
while a white pique will be made
very pretty with Nile green shade
or soft lavender tint.
For very dressy wear, these turn
over cuffs may be lined with lace, Just
as were the gloves of the dandies of
Louis XVII.'s time. To complete the
velvet suit when calling or ''teaing"
these new gloves are most attractive.
To stick in them, by the way, there
are dainty little glove handkerchiefs,
either embroidered or with colored
borders to match the turnover cuffs.
Only few inches square, to be sure,
yet these handkerchiefs are wonder
fully useful to touch the lips after a
cup of tea. So soft and fine are they
that one almost forgets them when
they are tucked in the palm of the
hand.

Merit Of Ncatness.

There are many girls who, without
being at all good looking, always ap-
pear neat and smart.
They may only have a small dress
allowance, but with it are able to ap-
pear more attractive than girls who,
with twice their amount of money,
often look, overdressed or dowdy.
What is the secret of this?
Surely 1t is due to the neat girls
taste; she always puts on her clothes
with care and makes point Of her
appearance being neat and tidy. She
keeps her wardrobe orderly and has
a place for everything; her ribbons,
gloves. handkerchiefs. ETC.. are never
bundled into drawer just to get
them out of the way, but are carefully
put ;u their proper places.

erence is now given to tailless or
white ermine, with the black tails ap-
piled as fringe or in ornamental clus-
ters.
Entire coats of ermine are frequent
ly seen. Sometimes the pure white
fur is trimmed with the black and
white tails; again black and white
ermine is trimmed with black fur,
such as the finest breitschwanz, silky
caracul, black fox, etc. These fur
coats are ample. luxurious and full

coats ranging from the conservatively

Sealskin is perhaps the smartest fur
for street or evening wear, and one Of

front there are long revers, the right
revers crossing over to the left and
fastening at the left side. The back
of the garment is also cut in point

There doubtless has been an un-
usual amount of fur sold this season,
for the fashion oracles have decreed
that this shall be fur season.
In many respects models for this
winter vary but slightly from those
of the preceding season, but this is to
be expected, for much of the beauty
of a fur garment depends upon the
quality and color of the fur and the
fine workmanship displayed in its
fashioning, rather than upon original
ity of line or trimming.
The most beautiful furs are at their
best when severely handled. No ap-
piled trimming or bizarre cutting can
improve Russian sable or silver fox,
and, as rule, the better grades of
long-haired furs are more effective
when merely self-trimmed. Scarfs of
one variety of fur are much in evil
dence, too, this season, even in the
short-haired furs. such as seal, ermine
and chinchilla.
Many OF the scarfs are three-quar-
ters or even a yard wide, and pro-
portionately long. being lengthy
enough to drape around the body and
fall almost to the floor.
Ermine Is usually left unadorned,
save for a fringe of ermine tails.
And, incidentally, it may be noted that
the fashion for scattering tiny
splashes of black and faint yellow
over the surface OF an ermine coat,
scarf or muff no longer prevails. Pref

CUT RATE FOR AN AMERICAN
Judge DonneIIy's Amusing Experience
With the SHARP Irish Cab
Driver in Dublin.

Chief Justice Joseph G. Donnelly of
the civil court. in illustrating an Irish
mans idea of wit, told a story Of an
adventure with an Irish hack driver in
Dublin, relates the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin.
g" asked him how much he would
take to drive me to Hotel -" he
said. THE driver looked at me and
said: You are from the states. aren't
your l answered yes.
"'Well, he said, since you are from
the states, and I've driven nothing but
Englishmen all day, I'll drive you to
the hotel for three shillings.'
"As l thought that was reasonable,
| got into the hack. We drove on and
on for hours, over hills and across
streams, until we finally got to the
hotel. While driving, wondered at
the difference between this hack
driver and those in America, and won.

would say if l were to hand him three
shillings for such a long ride.

night. When l woke up early in the
morning, l went down and out on the
front steps. l almost tainted, for d.
rectly in front of the hotel was the

the train. l suppose the hack driver

while driving me around the city and

XIV.

He opened his eyes again, alone on
the cool, damp, earthen floor, but as
sured that the feminine element in his
adventure had been no hallucination,
after all; for he could see the girl
standing a little to one side and look
ing down upon him, her face so deep
in shadow that he could gather moth
ing from its expression, whether it
were of displeasure or Of perplexity.
From this and that, however, he de-
duced that she, discovering herself
lavishing endearments on the wrong
man, was not utterly delighted with
the situation. The circumstances TAX
en- into consideration, such a state of
mind he thought not unreasonable;
and being now to some extent recov-
cred, he saw no profit in making her
suffer more. So with a show of
faintness not wholly assumed, he
rolled his head to one side, opening
wide his ayes and looked the woman
in the face, inquiring with his faint,
thin brogue: whats this, now. me
dear?"
The girls face darkened. She shook
her head impatiently. Il have no Eng

here? You are not Danny!"

and drawing a rueful face. Faith, me

She frowned. Then what are you
doing here, monsieur? How did you
learn-who told you-the signal?"

Danny Malone himself. He showed
me the way and babe me knockout

Monsieur does not recall that l ad-

a tightening face, nor anything that
happened thereafter"
"Not the least in the world. What
did happen, now?"
But she danked that embarrassing
question adroitly, evidently much re.
lieved by O'Rourke's reinsurance
Which was just what he wished her
frame of mind to be. Nothing that
matters" she replied, continuing to
employ the French tongue. and that
very prettily, with a fetching little &C.
cent. Il think you tainted. Then-but
you know my Danny?"
"Your Danny" said O'Rourke, his
mood quizzical. "None better, me dear.
I've known him since he was so high,
or thereabouts." And he held a palm
some six inches or 30 above the floor
"And he-he brought you here?"

He was on his feet now and en-

Deliberately he stripped off rags and

Danny was back with the promised
wearing apparel ere he had finished
splashing.
And while O'Rourke dressed, and for
long thereafter, the two sat and
smoked and confabulated, talked of
Men and Things and the urn of the
Wheel Of the World.

IF it's not Danny" gasped the ad-
venturer, then myself's not the
O'Rourke! Bless the lad!"
But as he breathed this b%enediction
the iron door swung inwards and he
stumbled across the threshold, half
fainting, hardly conscious that he had
done more than pass from open night
to the night of an enclosed space. His
foot caught IN some obstruction and
he went to his knees with q cry that
was a cross between a sob and q
groan; and incontinently fell full
length upon an earthen floor, his head
pillowed on his arm, painting as II his
heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud, a startled cry, and then
the door was thrust to with a clang
and rattle Of bolts. A match rasped
loudly and a flicker of light leaped
from a small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some n sat down beside him with
a low exclamation of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
n quite simply embodied his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom. and as If that were not
enough. kissed him full and long upon
his lips.
my dear! My dear!" she murmured
in French. What has happened, o,
what has happened? My poor, poor
boy!"
Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual in restoring O'Rourke
to partial consciousness as had been
a douche of cold water in his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that 1t was all a dream.
And yet, when he looked, 1t was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer Of the
lamp. the face of a woman as beauti.
full as young. as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. O'Rourke
shut his eyes again. IF I look too
long," he assured himself, she'll van,
ish or-or turn into a fiend. Sure, It's
a judgment upon me! Too long have
l been an amorous dram-drinker; this
will undoubtedly be the delirium-tre.
mems of love!"
And with that he passed quietly into
temporary Inconsistencies.
