Gowns Without Hats.

Although hats form a part OF the
bridge costume in the more formal
winter season, piazza bridge in mid
summer does not make the same de-
mand on conventionality, and the sim
pie tub frocks worn at these gather
ings are often unaccompanied by
any other head coverings than a par
asol, which is, of course, used only
en- route to the festivity. Even when
hats are worn through the street in
the morning. they are often laid aside
in the dressing room before play be

The Nipsic has had an interesting

attached to the Pacific fleet. She was
one of the American warships that

MURDER MYSTERY IS SOLVED
Canada Found in Texas After
Long Search.

Montreal-The mysterious disaD-
pearance some two years ago of Will
frid f. Pope. a we'll known merchant
of Bromptonville, Quebec. has been
cleared up.
The disappearance of Pope created
quite a sensation. for it was generally
supposed that he had been murdered.
Word, however, was received by Chief
McCaskill that Pope was well and re-
siding in Texas.
Pope's horse was found one winter
morning two years ago. lying dead on
the snow. and. there being a long
trail of blood, it was supposed that
Pope had met with foul play, as he
had drawn money on that day The
detectives could find no trace of the
mans body and the case remained a
mystery until now.
