a cluster of grayish blue full-blown
roses of velvet, with small sprays of
tiny rose foliage in sage green. One
might wear such subdued colors with
almost any costume. The sparkle of
the rhinestones gives life to the pretty

an instant appeal.

1T is wonderful what miracles of i'm
1 provement in looks can be brought
about by means of the couture and its
decorations, Only beautiful and au-
dacious youth can afford to wear
plain, severe styles of hairdressing.
Waves that mitigate the austerity of
straight lines, curls which suggest
~femininity, are almost invariably be-
coming. And aside from becomingness,
a wellgroomed appearance (more evil
dent in the couture than anywhere)
has O compelling charm in itself.
When the Lest and most tasteful Of
hair ornaments are worn, to set off the
chic couture. a chance is given for the
exercise OF individual taste. There are
many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten-
tious and elegant, that any clever
woman can fashion for herself. Near
ly all of the new mes are made Of
strands Of small rhinestones, used in
single or double bands, about the head,
in the manner of Greek bands. But
with them flowers, feathers, or velvet
ornaments are used.
Two of the best designs are shown
here and one hardly needs more than
the picture to be able to go about
copying them. One consists Of d rhine
stone band sewed to a fine si~lk-covered
wire which terminates in a loop at
each end. A hairpin thrust through

Fencing on italy.

The Italian government is often
greatly annoyed by the smuggling Of
large amounts of c~ontraband goods
across the Swiss 3order into Italy, re-
sulting in a great loss Of revenue.
Steps are now being taken which it is
hoped will stop this ~lawlessness.
Plans have been made to fence the
whole of the border with heavy metal
netting and customs authorities look
upon the scheme with great favor.
This form OF barrier has been tried
along several parts of the frontier. but
1t has been found that the fence alone
Is not sufficient. The new fence Of
wire netting is nine feet high and
along the top are to be fastened at
short intervals o number OF bells
which will summon the customs in
spectors the moment a person tries
to cross the border. OF course this
necessitates the employment Of q
large force Of inspectors, who win be
provided with police dogs to run down
the oifenders-Pathhnder.

Discard Small Turhan.

In Paris the leaders of fashion have
discarded the small turban hat for the
larger models of white satin. These
stunning hats appear in a wide vari-
ETY. of shapes, with gracefully rolling
brims or brims which flare more on
one side than the other. The favor
lite, however, is the wide, straight
brimmed sailor, smoothly covered
with white satin of a good quality.
These are trimmed with a simple bow
of white satin, the ends of which are
sometimes fringed. Fantasies of plu-
mage appear ON a few models, but the
majority are simply trimmed with the
satin or MORE.
The crowns of these hats are rather
low, and the tops are unlined and
scantily gathered about the edge.

THE prisoner continues to deny his

DIRECT CLUE TO MURDERER
Stick With Which Crime Was Commit

Landlord of claymore Tavern
in the Toils-He Denies
His Guilt.

Last evening Shelby's clean record
was bIackened by outrageous crime,
Some time after nightfall a carter
was driving home by Factory road,
when, just as he was nearing Long
bridge, he came upon the body of a
man lying without movement and
seemingly without life.
Knowing that in all probability an
hour might elapse before assistance
could arrive in the shape of another
passer-by, he decided to carry his
story straight to Claymore tavern. 1t
was fortunate his horses were headed
that way instead of the other, or he
might have missed seeing the skulk-
ing figure which slipped down into the
raVine with a short cough, hurriedly
choked back. He could not see the
face or identify the figure, but he
knew the cough. He had heard it a
hundred times; and, saying to himself,
That's John Scoyille.' he whipped his
horse up the hill and took the road to
Claymore.
And he was right. A dozen fell
lows started up at his call, but SEQ
vile was not among them. He had
been out for two hours; which. the
carter having heard, he looked down,
but said nothing except Come along,
boys! I'll drive you to the turn of
the bridge
But just as they were starting Sco-
vile appeared. He was hatless and
disheveIed and reeied heavily with
liquor. He also tried to smile, which
made the carter lean quickly down
and with very little ceremony drag
him up into the cart. So with SEQ
vile amongst them they rode quickly
back to the bridge, the landlord
coughing, the men all grimly silent.
Zone flash of the lantern told the
dismal tale. The man was not only
dead, but murdered. His forehead had
been battered in with a knotted stick;
all his pockets hung out empty; and
from the general disorder of his dress
it vas evident that his watch had
been torn away by a ruthless hand.
But the face they failed to recognize
till some people, running down from
the upper town, where the alarm had
by this time spread, sent up the shout

S%pencer's Folly, to the Judge, ap-
preaching it from the highway, was
as ugly a sight as the world contained.
He hated it's arid desolation and all
the litter of blackened bricks blocking
up the site of former feastings and
reckless merriment. Most of all, he
shrank from a sight of the one corner
still intact where the ghosts of dead
memories fingered, making the whole
place horrible to his eye and one to
be Stunned by all men. The cemetery
from which he had come looked less
lonesome to his eyes and far less omi-
nous.
No sign remained Of pillar or door
way-only' a gap. Toward this gap
he stepped, feeling a strange reluc-
tance in entering it. But he had no
choice. He knew what he should see
No, he did not know what he should
see, for when he finally stepped in
it was not an open view Of the hol-.
low which met his eyes, but the purple.
clad figure of Mrs. Averill with little
Peggy at her side. He had not ex-
pected to see the child, and, standing
as they were with their backs to him,
they presented a picture which, for
some reason to be found in the mystic
rious recesses of his disordered mind,
was exceedingly repellent to him.
The noise he made should have
caused Deborah's tall and graceful
figure to turn. But the spell Of her
own thoughts was too great; and he
would have found himself compelled
to utter the first word, if the child,
who had heard him plainly enough,
had not dragged at the woman's hand
and SO woke her from her dream.

Mo wonder the devotees of motoring

They may envelop themselves from
crown to toe in c%old-proof coats having

that have had sc great a vogue this

Smart coats for warmer climes are
made with more concessions to new
