The only repartee that Wellington

laughed, and walked away.
Wedgewood laid a sympathetic hand
on Little Jimmie's shoulder, and said.

Wellington wrote his epitaph in
these words:

OF all great enterprises had waylaid
him on the way to the battle-ground
of marital freedom.
The stranger had got on at an
earlier stop and worked his way
through the train to the car named
"Snowdrop." Wellington was his first

the almost vulture-like rapacity Of his

gestures. his thick lisp, and every
thing about him gave Wellington his
immediate pedigree.

to be quite long-lived.

Pretty Idea, and the Latest In Vogue,
Is to Have Contrast With tho
Rest of the Skirt.

The innovation in upturned hens
on the outside Of the skirt has given
the colorists another chance to put in
a dash of tone that will contrast with
the rest of the skirt. AS Roman
stripes and Scotch llaids continue to
reappear, on the lest Of the new
clothes, it is only natural that they
should find an abiding place at the
bottom Of the skirt or at the edge Of
one Of those wired tunics that are
made of all kinds OF thin material.
There is dark blue coat suit Of
gabardine which h;i a two-inch hem
Of red, white and blue plaid bound
with black velvet ribbon at the top;
the coat does not have a collar OF the
plaid which Is the first thing one
thinks OF its having, but the Scotch
silk shows up as envelope flaps to the
three pockets, which are edged with
q black velvet ribbon and fastened
over a black velvet button.

To Embroider for "Hlm."

portunity to embroider anything but
monograms on a mans clothing. A
certain proud spouse, however, re-
Gently became an object Of envy to
bis friends when he displayed for
their admiring glances an embroider-
ed silk shirt. His skillful wife had
filled in with lavender silk floss the
small lavender designs on the white
ground. In this particular instance
the embroidering was done after the
shirt was made up. just as 1t had
come from the haberdasher's. II the
shirt is made at home, the embroid-
ering is done before the material 10
made up. The satin stitch is used
with pleasing results for this purpose.
It is only necessary to embroider the
front.

II will be interesting to watch the re-
suit of this experiment, because 1t is be-
ing conducted near city. Warden Ty-
nan purposely took his men-a much
larger number-far away from the
temptations of town or city.
So far the scheme Is working satisfac-
torily, although a condition that the
Colorado warden feared arose. Naturally
considerable interest was aroused, and
numerous! visitors came out from town
to watch the men at work. Some senti-
mental citizens thereupon planned auto
mobile rides and theater party for the
convicts. Gov. Dunno Immediately and
very properly issued orders that nothing
of the sort be permitted. There is de-
cided difference between allowing con-
vict to indulge in outdoor work under
conditions calculated to make a man of
him again and silly sentiment that would
set him on a pedestal.

by overnight buying orders. first prices
were 2a6 points lower. Prospects for
continued clear weather in the south and
more seasonable temperatures. as well as
the decline abroad seemed to unsettle the
confidence of Fridays buyers and the
market soon broke to a net loss OF 1Oa
IL points Offerings were we'll taken, how

interior factors were refusing to follow

deal of realizing on rally which carried
active months back to about the closing
figures of last night. This checked the
advance. and the market later eased off
on reports that Montgomery firm esti-
mated the crop at 14,6SO 600 bales mini
