Richeson was to have been married

the police that the young pastor had

the police that few days before the
death of Miss Linnell, Richeson had
purchased cyanide of potassium

TAFFETA'S MANY USES
MATERIAL is THE MOST POPULAR
OF THE SEASON.
Two-Color Gowns Much in Vogue
Semblance of Severity One of the
Smartest Features of the
New Season.

Taffeta has a prominent place
among the new materials, although
the modern brands Of this silk bear lit
/ tie resemblance to the old. The
choicest qualities, especially those in
old blues and pinks, have luminous
surface as If they had been slightly
faded by moonbeams. Shot taffeta, or
changeable taffeta, as we called it in
other days, has special vogue, cos
tunes in this sort being trimmed gen.
orally with the two colors. There are
gowns entirely of taffeta, taffeta coats,
taffeta hats and trimmings of taffeta
on chiffon, lace, net and every other
thin fabric used. The yelling dresses,
taffeta trimmed, are most effective,
the bands or other ornamentations be-
ing put on with close machine stitch
ing
The illustration shows a dress quite
plain, yet this severity is one of the
smartest features of the new season.
The toilet, which is for medium dressy
use, is of shot taffeta in gray and blue
and plain gray yelling. The cording
uoOu upOu inc DOuiNS anu lOliS NullC
is made of the yelling and silk COM
bined-two narrow pipings twisted to-
gether-while the frilling at the neck
is of plain white silk null This would
be an admirable design for a cloth or
satin street dress, and if liked a pep
lum could be added to the waist. If
the cording seems too difficult for n
yelling wait and tunic, bias of the
taffeta could take its place.
One of the most extraordinary uses
of taffeta is its employment on odd
chiffon bodices and on all such waists
in filmy materials as would be worn
with fine tailored suits. The silk and
chiffon are blended together in the
most patchy ways, one part of the
waist being Of one material and the
rest in the other. There is no rule for
the dividing line: the bottom of the
waist may be of the taffeta or only
the sleeves and belt and peplum, for
these old-time little tails are as plen-
tiful as blackberries in August. One
stunning bodice seen recently was of
white chiffon and black taffeta, with
which had been thrown in some wisps
of black chantilly and delicate silver
embroideries. But the chiffon part Of

without touch of garniture, and so
such parts looked singular indeed

AS TO CHOICE OF CoLoRS
What Should and Should Not Be Worn
by the Woman Who Has Left
Youth Behind.

Baby blue is, of course, out of the
question, but there is soft, pretty
shade of pastel blue that may take its
place and prove extremely becoming
TO the woman who has been fair in
her youth. The faded tones of mauve,
heliotrope and wistaria will be equal
ly kind to this type.
Tones of old gold will be better
than fresh, vivid willows for the dark
woman of uncertain age, and faded
or burnt orange should be preferred
to the genuine shade.
Old rose will now take the place of
true pink. Pale, soft old rose is one
OF the best colors the prematurely
passee woman can adopt, because il
nay be described as just an echo OF
pale pink, the color of youth, in the
same measure as the woman is leav
