CORPSE PROVES ALIBI
COssaCk, About to Be Buried,
Causes Panic by Knocking

st. Petersburg.-It is not given to
everybody to attend his own funeral
feast, but this has been the experience
of a Cossack named Ivan Chourtenko
at Karpovskaja, near Tsaritzin,
Chourtenko, his death having been
duly certified by the local authorities,
was buried after his body had lain
for two days in the morgue. When the
coffin had been lowered into the grave
and the customary spadeful of earth
had been thrown on it by the mourn
ers, repeated knocking and muffled
cries were heard from the grave.
A panic arose among those present,
the majority OF. whom, seized with SUI
perstitious terror, fed from the scene.
Some Of the nearest relatives, how
ever, summoned up courage to descend
into the grave, and the coffin was lift
ed to the surface and opened.

that by turning a switch he could go

rambler and It's passengers came into

There the dispatcher, no less frantic

CAT COSTS ENGINEER HIS JOB
Reverses Locomotive to Dispel the
Hoodoo, and Gets Pink Envelope
Soon After.

Alton, Ill.-Peter Houseman has
lost his job as engineer of the Illinois
Terminal railroad because black cat
sped across the track in front Of the
train. There was no chance of the
cat being hit, but Houseman reversed,
put on the air brake and made sud
den stop. When the surprised train
crew and passengers looked from the
windows to find out the trouble they
saw the engineer throwing snowballs
at an Usage hedge tree, wherein was
perched the black cat. 4"
What are you doing?' inquired the
conductor.
That blamed cat ran across the
track, and I've got to chase it back
again to break the spell" retorted
Houseman, as he gathered fresh am.

Chourtenko was carried back in tri-

There he had the rare satisfaction
of partaking of his own funeral feast,

Hadn't they been over 1t once dur.

which set off pretty face so we'll.
The sailors are of hemp with oblong
crowns and curved brims. There is
a little variation in the brims; some

ONE Of those coatless cloth dresses
~ which are comfortable for outdoor
wear on mild spring days is shown
here. Its construction suggests the
coat-dress idea, which was introduced
last year, but its arrangement of drap-
cry Is entirely new. The bodice, open
ting over an underwaist from neck line
TO waist, is bloused over a wide
sash at the front. 1t appears to merge
into an extension of the skirt drapery,
which is so arranged that 1t looks
like the skirt of coat at the back.
The material, chiffon broadcloth
in this instance, is laid in three deep
plaits at each side of the front, under
the sash. At the sides and back it is
brought up over the girdle and ter
inmates above the normal waist line,
where the bodice blouses over 1t.
The sleeves are long and plain, with
ample arm's-eye. Shoulder seams are
moderately long. Although the design
is plain the clever arrangement of
.drapery makes it distinctive
Worn with it is millinery set, hat
and parasol made to match. These
matched millinery sets often include
a handbag or reticule made Of the
same silk as that which appears in
the parasol, and in the crown of the
hat They are very smart and strik-
fng. Among the most noteworthy
are narrow brimmed square crowned
hats of shepherds plaid taffeta with
parasoI to match, having a wide
border of plain silk at the edge Black

effective trimming than the velvet
band with wreath of foliage and fruit
posed over it which adorns the hat at
the left. Quite often the trimming
of fruit or flowers is in tihts and
shades of the color which appears in
the body of the hat.
A band of jetted net finished with
pompons of black maline is used for
garniture on the hat at the right.
This decoration is quiet and is effec-
lively used on many of the new colors
in straw shapes. The brilliance of
the jet and the light gay colors Of the
shapes go well together. 1t is sim
pie matter to place the trimming on
hats of this kind
The hat at the top of the picture is
an admirable shape made Of Milan
straw. Its. proportions are beautiful
and the careful management Of the
curving brim shows how much the
maker of shapes can do toward the
success of hat. 1t is trimmed with
band Of wide velvet ribbon with
small bouquets of flowers set against
it, and a rosette at each side.
The chin strap of velvet fastens
with snap at one side just at the
head-size. This is a modern hat
an original conception--and credit
to whoever thought out its well-hal
anced and becoming lines.

a border of plain black about the
parasol and a severe made ornament
of ribbon on the hat, has made one
fashionable city show window a CEN

A dar'; clear blue appears in the

cer . satin ribbon and further en-

ribbon. These are simply short
lengths Of cable cord wound with the
ribbon and terminating in small bows.
The body Of the hat is cerise

Of the parasol appearing in the rib
bon and flower trimmings.
There are any number of beautiful
ideas in color combinations carried
out in these millinery sets, and it is
safe to predict their success with the
smart set in every locality. Figured
chiffon over white silk foundations
give the effect of painting and lovely
sets are made in which the handbag
and parasol are draped with howered
chiffon, which reappears in the puffed
crown of the hat. Hats and neck
pieces to match, made of taffeta and
chiffon, are among the most practical
of new millinery offerings. In black
or the darker plain colors three-piece
sets, hat, neck ruff and parasol are
very effective. But in the brighter
and Shower colors it is best to omit
the neck ruff and substitute the reti-
