It is the clever use of these stripes which suggested my illustrations for this letter.
 Awning striped ratine makes the lower skirt section and the sleeves or the waist. Plain ratine is used for the over-blouse and fitted circular tunic. In the front of the lower skirt Is an inverted pleat which adds width and comfort in walking.
 My second illustration shows girls basque dress made in black satin and striped taffeta. The black satin fronts of the waist extend into band which finishes as sash in the back. The tunic of the striped taffeta is edged with a band of satin, while the lower skirt is of black satin. A collar of sheer white crepe, picot edged, gives the desired touch of daintiness to the dress. A charmingly girlish white sailor hat with bunch of white roses at Iu6 6lQO anu WAAbC loCAhSAC1 AANSONi around the crown is worn with this costume.
 In the Spring the French handmade waists were made with the edges seal loped down the front and bound witf a bias old of the same material as the waist. Now has come the fashioI of cutting the bottoms of tunics and skirts in scallops, points or square; and binding, them either with the same material or with woven braid. Thi: is unusual and strikingly smart. It ii also thing not hard for the amateur dressmaker to do if she wishes. l takes time to baste and to stitch care fully, but no great skill.
 A wonderfully stylish gown whicl I have just seen was made of blacl taffeta. The bodice was of the long waisted type. too closely fitted to b. moyen age, yet not quite a basque The skirt was made with a long tuni

THE VOGUE FOR VELVET AND
 THE REIGN OF STRIPES NOW 0N

NEW YORK. July 30.-Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner-The Di- rectoire influence is waning. Straight hanging gowns with long slashes and funny flares seemed to be about to take the world by storm. But, 10! Dame Fashion treacherously showed the long Dutch tunic, ruffled skirt Of the Crinoline days, and then, with an impish grin, the basque and polonaise. The Directoire period has clung to tailored suits, leaving it's imprint upon them, tossed us a few bales of striped materials and departed, as the West erner said of the horse-thief, "for parts unknown"
 Broad stripes. narrow stripes, and straight stripes and crooked stripes inn mediately were used not only for the Directeire tailored suit, but for all sorts of dresses whose style was indig- enous of the period of 1914.
 AS stripes are rather trying to the slender woman, who predominates, the stripes are combined with plain colors, producing wonderfully attractive gowns. Thus we sometimes see the tunics of striped and sometimes the underskirt, sometimes the overwaist.

which seemed to be attached to the bottom of the waist. The tunic was scalloped around the bottom in large shallow scallops bound with the bias taffeta. The V-shaped neck of the waist was low with large collar of sheerlinen cut in scallops to match those on the skirt and edged with narrow Valenciennes lace.
 A wonderful evening wrap was of rich green lined with most exquisite shade of cyclamon pink. From large fitted shoulder yoke of braided broad cloth hung two flounces of the green, one to about three-quarter length and the other hanging to just below the waist. Both of these flounces are cut in deep Van Dyke points. lined with the pink satin and bound with braid to match the green broadcloth. Each time the wearer moves the points rip pie, showing the exquisite coloring of the lining and reminding one of a dark cloud with rosy lining.
 Black velvet of the light featne. weight variety is the seasons fad, and it is safe to say one which will last well into the Fall. Made into cunning little coatees and saucy little capes, sashes and girdless it promises to gain in favor until the entire cos tune of velvet will be the rage.
 Strips or loops of velvet ribbon are placed on cape of Chantilly lace to form pelerine, while a large velvet collar circles the shoulders, almost like a shoulder cape. These same strips of velvet ribbon may be used to ad vantage as loops hanging from the
 waist over pleated tunic. When the ribbon is looped, the satin-backet ribbon is used, as both sides arc shown. When the velvet is sewr flat, as edge to a tunic, for instance the satin-backed velvet is, of course unnecessary.

STORY OF THE CRIME. I killed her because loved he

T killed her because loved her so much," schmidt is alleged to have told his capt0rs, but the police yer sion of the motive for the crime is that the young woman was about to become mother. He had married her through a ceremony of his OWL performing. without witnesses.
 According to the police and district attorneys office, Schmidts confession was full and absolute. In it he is quoted as saying that he killed his companion with a butcher knife and cut up the body with the knife and saw. The deed was committed, the police say, while the woman slept, shortly after midnight. on September 9. in an apartment in Bradhurst Ave nue, where the priest had placed her live days before.
 When her heart had ceased beating according to the alleged confession, Schmidt carried the body from the bed to the bathroom, and, placing it in the tub, immediately began his gory task of cutting it up. With the keen knife and the saw he cut off the head, arms and legs Still fearful of detection. he then cut the body in two.

SCOTT PLANNED
 SUICIDE WHEN
 HE WAS BEATEN

LONDON. Dec. 2S.-"Captain Scott's s Last Expedition is now given to the world. It contains Captain Scott'> diary. written methodically day by day. from the departure of the Terra Nova in 1910 to the moment in March 1912. when. with death actually in the tent pitched for the last time in the frozen waste of the great bar rier the dying commander wrote:
 The end cannot be far. It seems a pity, but I do not think l can write more. For Gods sake. look after our people,
 Published in facsimil. the last lines, although they are penciled by the hand of the man suffering physical agonieS due to frozen feet and the resultant commencement of mortifi- cation spreading upward, and to acute mental distress. and almost at the point of death, are marked by mas culine firmness and complete absence of tremor
 doubt that the discovery of Captain Amundsen's triumph depressed the en- tire party to such an extent that it must be reckoned as part cause of the disaster. A typical entry is:
 The Norwegians forestalled us It is terrible disappointment. I am very sorry for my loyal companions We must hasten home with all the speed We can compass. All the day dreams must go. It will be a weari- some return. We'll we must turn our back now on the goal of our ambi- tion and must face our 800 miles of solid draSging-a desperate struggle. l wonder f can do it?
 The diary as published shows that at one time conditions were such that Captain Scott contemplated suicide for the party. but later decided to accept the inevitable fate that was coming. After the death of Captain Oates, one of the party. there was a talk over the disposition of the body and the following entry is made in Scott S diary:
 "One satisfactory result of the dis cuSsion was that I practically ordered Wilson to hand over the means to us of ending our troubles. so that any one of us may know how to do so. Wilson had no choice between doing so and prevented ransacking his medi- cine case
 We have thirty opium tabloids apiece and Wilson is left with a tube of morphine
 This tragic decision was revoked. for in the last entry but one in the diary Scott wrote: "We must be near the end. I have decided it shall be natural. We shall march for the depot with or without our effects and lie in our tracks,
