worn for evening and are very becom- ing to the neck.
 Corduroys will be worn again. vel- veteens and velours will be elegant and distinctive.
 Quaint little bead tassels appear on the basques of some of the new bas= que designs
 Many of the fashions now in favor have been inspired by the costumes worn In Russia.
 A charming finish to a gown is a little hood lined with velvet and fin ished with a tassel.
 The more simple tailored suits have coats little shorter, not exceeding half-lengths.
 No collection Of frocks is complete without one of the black and white combinations
 The fad of the hour in footwear is the fawn, tan, gray or brocaded cloth topped boots.
 in dress. They trim gfrdles, blouses and gowns.
 Do not forget to add the collar and cuffs of black velvet, when planning your new suit.
 Dalmattaues are seen again. usually of a. color contrasting with the un- dertunic and edged with fur
 The new dance frocks are very short and their skirts are wider than they have been for some time. 4 Upstanding ruches are very effective on black satin afternoon gowns; they are used even on the. skirts.
 A reminiscence of the oriental fash ion of a few years ago is the heavily beaded ornament for the girdIe.
 The sash of the evening frock is folded about the normal waist line and tied low over the back of the frock in loose bow.
 Vests are worn with the smarter styles of coats, and they generally fasten up to the neck, with the lower fastenings undone.
 BIack-and-white neckwear is fash ion's latest whirn. There are charm ing chemiseftes in black and white to wear with the coat suit.
 The smock frock is new. This stun ming frock is an adoption of the loose. hanging smocks worn by the peas ants of Normandy and Touraine.
 The pointed decolletage is thing of the past. The square cut neck line is in high favor and it is severely plain being seldom softened with trimming of any description.
 The bo1ices of the latest dance frocks are merely a wide girdle which fits the figure closely and is held over the shoulders by narrow straps of the material or strands of beads An additional smartness is given the sleeve of the coat suit by the embroi- dered clock on the outer side. Either black or co1ored silk to match the suit may be used for the clock.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-That the
American tank steamship Okla
homa was sunk In a storm off
Sandy Hook was reported by
wireless from the Hamburg
American liner Bavaria, which
rescued the Oklahoma's Captain
Aldred Guenter and seven menu
bers of the crew, but it is believed
the rest who were on board, num-
boring 30, persisted i'm the storm.
1t is considered certain that the
Oklahoma was the vessel reported
by the Spanish liner Manuel Calvo
last night as being in distress off
Sandy Hook. The Bavaria is
bound from Philadelphia to Bos-
ton, but it is thought IL might put
into Portland with the survivors.
Seven steamships stood by,
barely a cables length away, but
were pOwerless to aid. When tho
Oklahoma sank before the eyes
of 1Ookouts on the craft which
surrounded 1t, the doomed ves-
sci broke i'm two. The after por-

JERSEY COAST DAMAGED

SEABRIGHT, N. j., Jan. 8. -
A million dollars damage has
been done here alone by the worst
storm that the Jersey coast has
experienced in 80 years. Pier,
wharves, breakwaters, cottages
and improvements for SO miles
up and down the beach have been
smashed by mountainous waves.
The sands are Uttered with
wreckage. One death, Ellsworth
Cottrell, living alone on Plum
island, is all that has been re-
ported. A wave engulfed his cot
tage. 1t is feared that the schoon-
er Ruperta has gone down off
Ocean City with Capt. Mathews
and his crew.
All schools are closed and chill
