So enamored have women become
of the various and interesting things
that have been invented in net that
they are getting together a wide
amount Of accessories for the sum-

Just think for a moment what can
be done There are gowns of net,
made high and low; there are girdles
and Japanese sashes Of net, there
are long-sleeved and short-sleeved
guimpes, tks-e are parasols lined with
silk or made Of several layers Of
white and colored net there are pet
ticoats and brassieres and fancy cor
set covers trimmed with chiffon roses.
And this is not all
There are small hats and large hats
of black, white and colored tulle;
there are Medici collars and Robes
pierre ones of net that is plain and
net that is sprinkled with figures.
There are net neck ruffs, there are
huge roses and little violets and

gowns And the end is not yet. All

Where women once bought net or

ways to vary a gown, to add to it's

those clever individual touches over

1t is an interesting subject, this one
OF individuality, and it has arisen
with much gusto in the last few
months; whether the cry for it pro-
duced the supply or whether the
women's apparel produced the talk Is
hard to tell. What matters the

DAMAGE SUIT CASE REMOVED.
AciioB.BrOught by W, H. Moss Against
W. B. and A. Railways To be
Tried in Howard County.

The damage suit case brogUht by
Mr.. William Fl. Moss, OF this city,
against the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railways
Company is to be tried before the
Circuit Court for Howard county.
When the case was called in the
local court, Messrs. marbury and
Gosnel, counsel for the Railways Com
psny, filed motion for change of
venue, and Judge Brashears thereupon
announced that the case would be re-
moved to Howard county, which is in
the Fifth Judicial Circuit. the same
circuit to which Aune Arundel also
belongs.
Mr.. Moss is suing the Railways
Company tor $50, 600 for alleged
breach of contract. The suit arose
out OF the proceedings by which the
Railways Company acquired the
property at the corner of Bladen
street and College avenue upon which
its lwn town terminal STATEN was
erected. Mr.. Moss formerly conduct
ed a grocery store on that site, aud
in the contract of sale, it is alleged,
that the plaintiff was promised po-
sition with the Railways Company,
which he was never given, and that
the company failed to measure up to
its contract in other respects.
