juries we're not serious.
Detective Sussillo of the second
branch detective bureau was unable
to find anybody who saw Grey leave
the hotel.
The robber had a cheap new suit
case in which were found four or five
shirts with the laundry marks cut out.
The shirts were 14k size, obviously
too small for him. The suitcase also
contained a hammer, two screw
drivers, a roll of s%andpaper, a pair Of
Sk sneakers and a pair of 81
shoe trees.
Grey was five feet ten inches tall
and weighed about 165 or 10 pounds.
He had a prominent nose. He wore a
brown suit, an alpine hat and a dark
overcoat.
Lucius M. Boomer, managing Girec-
tor of the McAlpine, said that the plan
of robbery was a new one in the hotel
business and he couldn't blame any
hotel employee for being caught by 1t.

fastens with a silver buckle at the
front. A second collar and belt, or
even a third, may be acquired by way
of ringing changes on a suit in which
such striking color contrasts are fea'
tured. A collar and belt of black and
white checkerboard ribbon, or a set i'll
one of the natural leather shades, are
to be recommended.
Worn with the suit, when the red
belt and collar are brought into reQui-
sition, is a hat which is obliged to
keep pace with them. 1t is of blue
straw, matching the dress in color,
with band and darts of bright red
like that in the accessories of the
suit. Hardly anything else in a hat
would do except one of those sailors in
black and white checkerboard silk
which are trimmed with black velvet
ribbon and a cluster or two of cher
ries.
1t is not often that a suit so simply
constructed achieves distinction by the
mere management Of color, and still
less often that a suit admits of "shad
ing" by change Of accessories that
does not rob it of it's smart style.

A plain, smart suit, distinctly youth
full in suggestion and depending upon
color and cut for successful style, is
shown in the illustration given here.
AS to the lines on which it is cut, the
skirt belongs to the straight silhou-
cite type which, in spite of the sue
cess of the fiared variety, has many
followers. Caillot and Jenny of Paris
are authority enough for its vogue, if
n cannot be satisfied without such
assurance, 1t is full, but it is straight,
a little longer than ankle length, and
plain. The overlapped seam at the
front is allowed a few buttons, like
those on the jacket, set in groups of
three. The skirt fits smoothly about
the hips and has a plain finish at the
top.
The crisp little coat consists of a
plain body "a little short waisted) and
a skirt which flares enough to indulge
in a tentative ripple or two about the
bottom. Buttons and machine stitch
ing finish it. There is a square turn
over collar of the serge at the back.
A second collar and a belt, in the
most vivid military red, are made of
thin suede leather. The belt is run
through narrow straps of the serge

When HOOP skirts Were Worn,

The first modern hoop ~skirt-repre-
senting a costume which the modistes
are now threatening to revive-was
the invention of Joseph Thomas, who
was born in Paris SO years ago, and
who died in Hoboken a few years
since. The hoop skirt Of Thomas
contrivance was popular from 1850
to 1870, when 1t began to decline.
The monstrosity Of cumbrous skirts.
held out by hoops. was carried to such
a point that the fair sex began to as
sumo the proportions of balloons.
Probably no other style of feminine
attire was so u~nsightly and ridicu-
lous as this, yet it enjoyed a tremen-
dous vogue. The hoops" of Joseph
Thomas constituted a revival of the
crinoline or farthingales OF the time
Of Queen Elizabeth. when women wore
hoop-like petticoats made Of whale
bone. The hoop skirt vas made the
cause Of many accidents and loss OF
life o~ccasioned by coming in contact
with fire or machinery.

New York.-A 50-minute guest at
the Hotel McAlpin robbed the manage

been SEN to the room with the bills
as change. Then he tumbled the
stunned boy on to the bed, locked him

AS the boy was leaning over, the
man whipped a revolver out of his
pocket and struck him over the back
of the head, iniicting a slight cut,
Abbundi toppled over, but did not lose
consciousness. Grey fiourished his
gun and threatened to shoot if there
was an outcry and then tumbled Abb
bundi on to the bed and bound him
with blankets, pillow slips and strips
of sheets. Then he walked out, turned
the lock and left the key in the door.
Boy Gives the Alarm.
Abbundi wriggled around on the bed
and managed to roll over to a tele-
