Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1913-01-21

A great sensation has been caused
at Agen, near Toulose, France, by the
death of the Able Chassaing cure of
the Parish of St. Hilaire, who was
found in the apartment of Nine. Alice
Crespy, one of his parishioners, with
bullet in his forehead. The relations
between the priest and Nine. Crespy
mad been matter of common know
ledge in Agen. Nine. Crespy de-
tlares that the priest shot himself. 1t
is now alleged by the police that the
fatal shot was fired from some dis
lance at the able. Mime. Crespy is a
divorced woman, eccentric in charac-
ter and behavior. She confessed long
ago to friends that she loved the
abbe.

the exhibit, and without pay, is
deserving of more credit than can
be given them by mere printed word.
The lowering skies on Saturday
following the showers on Friday
afternoon, kept many away who
would have gone, but those who
attended came through, without a
wetting, aud not one of them eX-
pressed any thing but satisfaction
at the visit.
The committee in charge Of the
exhibit have expressed them selves
as deeply approaching the interest
of the people who went to so much
trouble to offer exhibits, and also
to those who disregarded the
weather warnings to attend.
Arrangements have not as yet
been made for next year, but it IS
anticipated that a larger and even
better show will be offered the
public, and that it's attractions will
be better understood in advance.

Cows Beat Automobiles

Either the automobile is in the
descendancy, or the star of the
patient mooley cow is in ascendancy.
In a single day we heard of cows
bringing from $40 to S121 apiece
at Sergeantsville, over $40 each at
Ringoes, and from $74 to $96 at
Wycombe, while a local citizen
offered to trade his auto and $40 to
boot" for a good, fresh COW. Horses
have long since ceased to have
quotable price, and when the cow
passes the same point, we will have
to fall back upon the pugnaciouS
goat to keep within the limits Of
our pocketbooks.

Editor Has Boils

Joseph N. Hazen, junior editor
of the Lambertville Beacon, got a
bit jealous of the editor of the
Record for having the measles
early in the summer, and the hay
fever late in the same summer. so
he went and had" boil under
his right arm. This accounts for
the firm military bearing of Brother
Hazen the past week or so, and
also accounts for the cold, steely
look that he gave inquirers when
they asked him if the boil hurt.

Fine Specimens of Apples.

Jacob Helms, the we'll known hard
ware man of Coryell Street, proved
to an interested public at Solebury
Deer Park last Friday and Saturday
that what the LambertviIle Record
said about growing fine apples in
this section of the world was true.
Unfortunately, through an error,
Mr.. Helms, did not get his apples
entered as exploits, so as to be in
line for prizes, but he had nineteen
plates of the finest that were ever
shown around here.
He had apples so large that they
compared favorably with the Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho product,
and he had apples for which there
is no name or designation. All Of
these apples were raised right here
in the city of Lambertville, thus
emphasizing the fact that anything
that can be grown outside Of
tropical country can be grown right
here in Hunterdon County.
Mr.. Helms said that his trip to the
Solebury Farmers Exhibit had a
special significance for him, as fifty
SIX years ago he walked from
Centerville (now Buckingham to
Lambertville, arrived in this city at
3 o'clock in the afternoon, got a
job at 3.l5, and has remained ever
since. Last week, on the anniyer-
sary, he rode out the Doylestown
pike in an automobile.

Long Slit in Short Skirt

woman passed down Union Street
wearing a slit skirt that would
have ensured immediate deportation
from the gay French capital. The
woman in the case was very short

why prolong the details. The
editor of the Record was not an
eye witness to the affair, but no
less than eight good, staid respect
able citizens have vouched for the
happening, so we accept it as facts.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN YOUNG.

The charm of delightful color schemes
made possible through the use of trans
parencieS continues to make itself felt in
the new midsummer models. In the free
introduction of lace, particularly that of
bold patterns, such as the macrames and
OF more aristocratic Suipure and chan
tlly, an entirely different effect is pro-
duced from the yelled models of the past
three seasons, so that it is safe to pre-
dict new lease of life for the fashion
OF sheathing one fabric with another.
which otherwise must already have about
run its course
The model sketched today is illustra-
tive of this point. Without the chantilly.
graceful as the lines and the general eff
feet might be, the gown could hardly be
written down the novelty it distinctly is
in its present state.
Ceranium pink crepe meteor white net
and white and black cllantilly laces are
the materials used in its constructions
The skirt or crepe meteor is instep
length and cut quite narrow, with the
opening running from in front of the
left hip at the waist line diagonally
down across the front, curying away
over the right foot. 1t can be left open
if desired for several inches and partly
concealed by the fall of chantily ruffied
between the edges. In back the skirt
is gathered little at the high waist
line.
over a plain kimono blouse foundation
of white net the lace surplice corsage is
arranged, drawn below the bust well
across one side. The band of black chan
lilly, which shows below the white sleeve
is stitched to the net foundation sleeve
The white lace tuilic skirt slopes away
from the front and runs down to a round
ed point in back At the waist il is
evenly gathered ali around. Two long
medallions of black chantily hang from
either side of the front over the white

The dressmakers had much to do with

others short Tune. lace and net have
been used, and one did not wish to wear
short white gloves with sleeves of these
fabrics that reached to the wrists; neither
did one care TO wear long wrinkled gloves
with the fashionable draped sleeves of

1t is difficult to be oriental and occi-

BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

The war on gloves is more exciting
than many women realize The majority
abide by the tradition that gloves must
be worn in public places and that no
fashion can disturb this But fashion
has disturbed it and many of fashion s
followers have taken up the new creed
OF not wearing them at dinners, balls,
the opera or the theater.
They wear them in the streets without
questioning. They feel that it would be
in bad taste to go in the open In the day
time with their hands uncovered, unless
they are in the country or seashore- At
both OF these places gloves are abandoned
in summer and only worn in winter for
warmth.
Three years ago the statement was
made that the fashionable women abroad
were dlScardinG gloves at evening affairs,
and it was met with violent protest from
the merchants. They claimed that long
gloves had as great a sale as ever and
that the newspapers We're wrong IN as
sorting that any digniIied woman would
go out in the evening without gloves.
These protests came FROM every quarter
where gloves are sold just as the same
protests We're made when the newspapers
announced that rough fabrics like ratine
We're To take the place of brOadcloth.
TIL It'll is that hroadcloth has been

less " men have increased by the hum
drc,ls at evening entertainments. This
has probably not caused any lack of
sales II the glove business, for the popu-
larty Of elbow sleeves has made a steady
demand tor the long glove. Again there
are always a class of women who would
not 20 out in the evening with uncovered
arms, and all women must have a few
pairs Of long gloves for certain uses.

cause they like to cover their hands.
their necks and their heads better than
any OTHER civilized women
The popularity Of the fashion, however,
was due to the English women, who i'm
mediately took it up with success, and
as far back as two winters ago one saw
bare arms at the London theaters, res
taurants and opera.
This was to be expected in London
for the English have always insisted
upon wearing extremely low gowns in
the evening at every public place as well
as III Their own homes when there was
no formal occasion for it. What the
rest of the world did was small matter
to them and they continued on their way,
which is habit the English have. When
they discarded gloves they were entirely
happy and the american women quickly
followed suit Now the fashion is es-
tabished. One would not say that it
was universally followed. but whoever
wants to go without gloves in the even
ing is quite protected by the law of style.
