Costumes Easy to Wash, and May Be

Collars and Cuffs.

Detachable collar and cuffs are al
ways a good idea. These may be
made from linen. pique. or any Of the
lingerie materials. Sometimes plaid
or striped fabric is corralled for this
purpose. A little of the plaid or
striped silk can be used most effec-
lively to give the desired touch of
color to an otherwise sombre blue
serge dress. 1t may be added as a
hem, with the yoke and sleeves Of the
plaid in true kimono style, or 1t may
only appear as a binding to the dress
with perhaps a perky little tie of 1t To
hold together the collar. II will prove

More Black and Whjte.

The black charmeuse or fine cloth
skirt-with the short cutaway "Direc-
toire" coat in white charmeuse, is pc
culiarly smart, especially when it has
large black buttons and is worn with
a folded jabot of corresponding period.
This has certainly been the best class

SATIN AND TAFFETA MANTLES
Decided Vogue ls Apparent for These
TaIloRMade and Attractive
Garments.

To replace the tailormade for after
noon and visiting wear, there will be
a great vogue in long. soft satin and
taffeta nantes. These are quite
straight and for the most part unlined
and, when not expressed in black, are
carried out in strict harmony with the
gowns.
Large square revers, allied to equal
ly large square shaped collars, figure
on an appreciable number Of models
And by way Of breaking the monotony
OF an all-black scheme the revers are
oftentimes faced with some color, such
as bishops purple, peony or Pekin
silk IL pretty. But always are these
contrasts yelled in black chiffon. That
seems for the moment to be a hard
and fast decree.
Fringe also plays its part, and the
mantles in their entirety are being
regarded by a large fraternity Of WON
en- as a veritable boon for filing the
anxious hour pending the definite &C
ceptance Of the proposed fresh modes
and styles.

Tho Waist Line.

An indication of present fashions Is
that the waist line will in many cases
be indicated by narrow belt Of the
old.fashioned sort which one has
ceased to associate in ones mind with
smart dressing. In very many Of the
newest gowns the waist Is emphasized
and in its normal place.
AS a rule, the belt corresponds with the
other trimmings of the gown, but this
Is not insisted upon, and sometimes II
has no connection with 1t at all, but
belongs wholly to the must abused re
glon Of the fancy belt. Thus a striped
gown has It's narrow belt Of folded
brocade tissue, and an afternoon frock
which was carried out in pompadour
silk emphasized its possession Of q
waist by circling 1t with a band Of
sti6, straight ribbon.

CHICAGO. - American reinforce

Dundee, ILL.,, on the Fox river, the
other night.
Captain Unafraid" Merle Farms

mand of the good ship Ferber, while
General Do Or Die Charles Martz,
fourteen years old, commanded the
troops.
The skipper and the general were
the crew and the general and the
skipper were the troops. Their trans
port was a twelve-foot skin, owned,
until they seized 1t as contraband OF
war, by Lyman Andrews Of Dundee.
The young soldiers Of fortune made
up for their lack Of numbers in the
strength OF their armament. Each
wore a belt strapped around his waist
carrying 10 rounds Of ammunition,
while I'm their holsters were revOlvers.
Dangling from their hips were huge
two-edged dirks In scabbards, almost
a foot long.
The expedition was halted at Au-
rora, ILL.,, after two days sail.
The skipper and general were cap
tured by the Aurora police.
They had covered not more than
thirty miles when they were taken at
North Aurora.

Boston's Historic Landmark Condemned

Of this historic group Of buildings will
bring great regret to many interested
In the early days. The Sun tavern
boasts on It's Faneuil Hall square face
tablet stating that the building was
erected in 1890, and the date has new
er been disputed as far as is known.
In fact, there is a tradition to the
effect that its timbers were cut In
Cornhin. This story is not generally
known, as 1t is known Cornhill was
built upon in 1890. OF course the
oak could have been cut there prior
to that and stored, but 1t is more gen.
orally believed the heavy beams were
cut near Cornhill, as was entirely pos
sible at that date.
The tavern is older by half cen
fury than Faneuil hall, which faces 1t.
1t is the last survivor Of the buildings
that stood about the ancient dock,
from which It was hardly more than
thirty feet distant.
In its day 1t has served In many ca
pacities, first as a residence then a
tavern, grocery, fruit store, market
and for many years past as combina'
ton fish and meat store. In 1712 It
was the dwelling Of Thomas Phillips
and even at that time was known as
the Sun tavern, as Phillips had a per
NIT for ten years previous to that
date.

Then they went over to the police
station and attached everything there
