ton of silk and brocade or of heavier
weave, as ratine, velour de laine, or
velvet, is fashioned with a guimpe, it
can be turned to good account as
demi-evening toilette by the removal
of the guimpe. There is something
about this word guimpe which antag-
onizes many women. One may appre-
ciate the variety of dress it affords,
yet one knows that those bought ready
made rarely fit, and always give the
impression of a makeshift With a
little care, however, they can be made
to fit. A good dress-maker can accom-
plish thisa She knows that a short
sleeve, as means of holding the
shoulder in place, is essential, that the
shoulder and neck must be cut and
fitted to the individual, as these vary
essentially in different people. She
knows, too, that the guimpe should
extend to the waist, and that it should
be held firmly in place by tight belt
also that it should be buttoned from
neck to waistline, never left open or
merely pinned. For the making of the
guimpe, thin laces like shadow or ma
line are best; white chiffon is also a
fayorite. The heavy laces, as Irish
crochet, Bohemian, Arabian and Cluny,
are not desirable for this purpose.
Another accessory of much impor-
lance in the newer frocks is the sash
or girdle. Many pleasing fancies sug-
gest themselves, depending on the ma
terial and style of the gown. If the
gown is strictly tailored model, the
girdle should adhere to the same prin-
ciple. A tailored bow finishing the
crush belt is effective; embroidered

White is very fashionable this winter,
in all materials, corduroy, ratine,
broadcloth and velour de laine, to men
ton only a few of them. Velour de
laine, on account Of its quality and
it's novelty, has perhaps the prefer
ence. Its soft, lustrous surface com
bines effectively with dark fur, and it
is readily cleaned. 1t is said that
white is a woman's means of purifying
herself and fur her means of beautify-
ing herself. Whether the statement
is true or not, we have to admit that
white is generally becoming, and that
fur has much value as background.
The woman who is clever enough to
realize this is the one who uses this
combination most successfully.
The gown shown here was developed
in white velour de laine. AS a suitable
model for fur trimming no better
choice could have been made. Its
| trim and simple lines show to best
advantage the edge or skunk which
encircles the sleeves, neck and hem
of skirt, extending to the lower edge
of the dress. The low neck is much
more attractive than the choking higl
collar, and the young woman should
cling to it as much as possible. Al
no place in the gown Is any fulnes'
evident, thus showing to the best ad
vantage the contrast between the darl
fur and rich material of the whit
gown. With the gown is worn a larg
black velvet hat with crown Of whit

the trimming of the gown is very
pleasing one. The general effect thus
created shows both skill and taste and
a careful observance of detail, which is
the sine qua non of all good dressing.
The hat with tam-o'shanter crown is
the fashion most favored this season.
The swinging bag is still essential to
pocketless woman. Stylish bags are

now requires the inevitable bag eth

HOME, SWEET HOME.

Home, sweet home How many men
Have sung that song the world
! around,
I And longed to find themselves again
Upon that sweetly hallowed ground!
The sailor on the distant sea,
The hunter high upon the hill
Each of them dwelling tenderly
Upon its sweet relations still.
The love of kindred fills the place,
To keep it beautiful and sweet
Through all the years that come
apace,
And whatsoever we may meet,
Nor ever man so base but tears
Have dimmed his eyes the way along
For knowing through the long, long
years
The truth of that immortal song.
Home, sweet home! The world grows
old,
But that sweet song is ever young
And will retain its tender hold
s so long as ever songs are sung,
There is no other place the same,
Wherever human feet may wend,
And in that song as shall acclaim
Our great love for it to the end.

 Herbert Knox Smiths Reply.
 Herbert Knox Smith: T believe. as the state progressive platform says, that the number of saloons in our va- rious communities should be reduced.
 T also believe in the principle of a high license fee.
 Before giving final opinion on the exact details of the number of saloons in ratio to the population; of the best and most equitable method of securing such reduction, and as to the exact minimum amount of the license fee, I should require the detailed in- formation as to all the facts which would be applicable in any specific case or law.
 Opposes Summer Hotel Law.
 q believe in the repeal of the so- called summer hotel license law, first because it violates the principle for which the progressive party platform stands, namely, the elimination of spe- cial legislation in all cases where gen. eral legislation is adequate; second because it substitutes the petition foI the ballot and thereby does away witf the safeguard secured by the secrecy of the ballot and allows the bringing of improper pressure upon the voter

JACK ROSES WIFE
 INDUCED HIM TO TELL
Her Entreaties, She Says, Brought Out True Story in Becker Case Hopes to Go Abroad When Jack Is Released.

At widely opposite points in the re-
 cent trial and prosecution of Lieu tenant Becker of the New York police force are two names with a Norwich connection, District Attorney Whit man, native of this town, and Jack Rose, manager of the Norwich base ball team in the early part of the season of 1899.
 Local interest, accordingly, attaches to the interview given by Mrs. Rose to World reporter in which she is quot ed as follows:
 Tt was only for the sake of his wife and children that Jack told of his connection with Lieutenant Becker in this terrible affair." she said. My husband would have gone to the cleo tric chair, innocent as he was had it not been for my pleading.
 Jack did not turn upon Mir Becker until 1 had convinced him with the aid of Mir. Sullivan, his lawyer and friends, that he owed this moral duty not only to his wife and family, but to himself as a man to clear his con- science and tell everything.
 Deep Pity for the 5sckers. Though I have known MT. and | Mrs. Becker less than two years, | cannot help but feel the deepest pity l for them. known that Mrs. Becker's protestation of her husbands inno- cence is born of an honest belief. She. l like myself, knew absolutely nothing of her husbands business dealings.
 ; MT. Becker first came to our home l when we were living at the St. AIbans
 ! apartments on Cathdral parkway. It
 was little over a year awo and was
 ] the first time had ever seen or heard
 1 of him. 1 knew then that he was ! connected with the police department
 ! and that he and Jack had some kind
