Provided For Contingencies.
The swift interference with Abarno's
project was the climax Of four months
work by Poignant.
Every contingency had BEN provided
for in the plans Of the poLce. They
knew that the attempt was to be made
yesterday morning. and in general how
1t was to be made. but they did not
know just where the anarchist would
enter the cathedral. So Detective James
Sterrett, attired as a scrubwoman. was
at work in the southern vestibule on
Fifth avenue as Walsh was at work IN

Fennelly and Jerome Murphy. also

FIND INTEREST IN SOMETHING
Friends viii Soon Tire Of the Woman
Who AVows Life to Be
Bore.

The woman who is not interested
IN things in general or something in
particular is an unlnteresting COM
panion. No matter how beautiful she
may be, her charm will be minimized
or of short duration.
The victim of ennui or Indifference
gictimizes everybody about her Her
friends may look upon her and admire
her beauty, but she is decidedly unin-
teresting. and even little bit of her
society is generally an overdose. To
be blase is not to be interesting.
If you are weary of everything in
life you need the attention of rhysi-
clan, there is something wrong with
you. mentally and physically.
Something new and interesting in
this world is cropping out every min
ute. The most interesting people are
those who see things and get all pos
sible pleamre out of them. An ex-
hibltion of Indifference to things about
gou is not an evidence of Intelligence.

DICTATES OF FASHION

The newest card case is of striped
silk.
There is a new brown or greenish
shade called rhubarb.
Pale green and tan are the favorite
shades for CATERS.
A yellow vest will add a note OF
richness to the gray suit.
Ripple styles and cape effects pre-
dominate in both evening and after
noon wraps.
The new Japanese quilted wrappers
are cut with perfectly straight unfit
ted back.
Square frames are seen in the new
handbags, and some handbags are mel
on shaped
There are no tight-ftting coats; all
the new coats are semifitting; some
have clusters of plaits at the side.
Evening slippers are gorgeous. They
are made of all sorts of rich ma.
terials and trimmed with brilliants and
pearls.
A gay conceit in handkerchiefs, not
exactly the thing one would recon.
mend for dress occasions, but Just the
thing to delight a kiddie, is a linen
handkerchief with a gay Panama
canal straying in colors across its
southwest corner.

COLLARS OF WHITE SATIN
Make Charming Addition, Especially
to the Gown Made Up of Dark
Blue Serge.

There is already much speculation
about the joining of soft silks and far
ing circular skirts for spring, but il
both remain in fashion after the
French openings, which are scheduled
for February as usual, no doubt the
designers will find some good way cut
of the difficulty. Much can be done
by borrowing from the ideas used in
evening gowns made of silk net, which
now have fiaring five and six-yard
skirts held out by thick bullion cord.
A cable cord of velvet OF silk can re-
place this one on silk street skirts.
The advance fashions in dark blue
show the usage of white satin in the
way of wrinkled stock collars and
wide turnover cuffs, in wide belts of
white kid with pearl buckles, and even
in white satin hens when the nature
of the frock allows one. This is a
good idea for the woman to assimilate
If she is given to wearing dark blue.
It would brighten that serge frock she
has now and make 1t a bit different
from what 1t has been.
