WIFE SLASHER BOUND OVER.
Waterbury Affair Followed Italian
 Custom to Show Bad Woman.

Waterbury, Feb. 1.-The plea that the slashing had been done in ac- cOrdance with an Italian custom to show the whole world that his wife was a bad woman was offered in de- fense by Attorney Michael Blansfeld in defending Giuseppe Di Marco in city court today. The charge was as- sault with intent to kill, lodged against Di Marco as result of the attack made by him on his wife in this city on the afternoon of Jan. 19.
 Testimony showed that Mrs. Di Marco had left her husband in Phil adelphia with another man and had lived with the man in this city. Di Marco followed her, begged her to come to live with him, and offered to forgive her. She refused, and the slashing occurred. Di Marco was bound over to the next criminal term of the superior court under $2,00O after the finding of probable cause.

THE TABLE FAD

EVERYBODY is picking up" odd
 - tables these days, and the more 0 quaint and unusual ones collec- ton, the more distinguished. Very old tables are of course the most de- sirable but genuine old mahogany isl becoming hard to get at any price. Good limitations of Colonial and old English designs are obtainable, how-| ever, though even these are by mol means cheap. There is always room for one more table in any room, and small stands of mahogany, fitted into corners too small for larger pieces of furniture, give a homelike air to al room and make convenient places for photographs, tall vases, books and small bits of bric-a-brac. Only oneI pr at most two articles should bel placed on one of these little tables or the room will look over-crowded. A silver photograph frame and a vase makes charming combination. Two books and framed print or a small bronze go well together. The nestled tables, three in group, all slender legged and dainty are favorites for drawing room use. Gate legged tables and console tables are also much sought after.

the shocking at the hem of the gar ment and this gay little frill adds much by way of finish. Collar and cuffs of white taffeta add a pleasing touch of contrast in their severity of line. A shocked blouse, pictured, Is of jade green glove silk with collar and cuffs of white glove silk and lacings of black velvet ribbon. The glove silk smocked models are very handsome and rather high-priced and they will be, undoubtedly, very smart and correct for summer sport wear. Any woman who can do hand mock ing daintily can make herself one of the taffeta blouses, and a rather bright shade will be prettiest for sum- mer out-of-door wear.
 Fur Buttons on Palm Beach Blouses.
 Big buttons of beaver fur, match Ing a beaver fur collar, are piquant and fetching on a blouse of white washable satin, ordered for Palm Beach wear. The belt of velvet i4 Copenhagen blue in shade and is very loose, passing through wide straps al either side of the blouse. Below the belt is pleated peplum and the sleeves of white Georgette crepe are attached to sleeve sections of the satin, set into regulation armholes; like the sleeves of the bisque and brown blouse first described. There Is An exceeding grace about the lines of his white satin and fur blouse and he round fur buttons have a Pierrot uggestion that Is rather quaint. This blouse is shown also in navy blue satin with collar and buttons of white vel ret and belt of white kid.
 Among the new imported blouses Ire models of chiffon and Georgette .repe in the most brilliant rose, coral, ,etunia and dahlia shades. The cut s simple and hemstitching is the only trimming, it being evident that the color alone is sufficient unto itself. On dark eyed and haired woman one of these blouses should be enchanting, but pale tinted or washed out indi- viduals should beware of such vivid rose shades.
 Frilly Blouses of Tub Material.
 In buying lingerie blouses one sim ply cannot make the mistake of get
 
 lingerie waists are simply transpar- ent-one can say no more. Materials are fine book muslins, silky batistes, organdies, Georgette crepe and very sheer voiles. Tucks of exquisite f1ne- ness, hand hemming and frills galore trim the pretty, enchantingly feminine affairs and in spite of their long sleeves they are not severe. More hand hemming and less machine hem- stitching seems to be the watchword for very exclusive models; for hem stitching now that anyone may acquire It for a few cents the yard, is falling Into disrepute with the exclusives. Much narrow velvet ribbon and the tiniest of velvet buttons are seen on new lingerie waists-one does wonder how they will launder, unless the vel vet accessories are ripped off, and that .akes valuable time. Typical of the

some subdued color, gold or silver beads, gold lace or colored embroidery forming the decoration. Two hand some theatre bags are pictured. The pouch shaped model is of magenta moire silk embroidered with cut steel beads. Four irregular medallions of white satin. appliqued to the magenta silk, are covered over with a network of the steel beads and from the four corners of the pouch hang steel bead balls. The bag is lined with Ameri- can Beauty colored satin and is drawn Up on steel-beaded chain, run through silver rings.
 At the right of this bag is an elon- gated model which suggests the en- oroidered wallet carried by women of high rank in the middle ages. The material is tapestry blue velvet with Japanese embroidery in shades of gray. The long, covered frame is em- oroidered in gray and silver and the wallet closes with an embroidered trap. Inside is a lining of apricot tinted satin.
 Butterfly bags are the fad of the moment and some of them are very lainty. In mind is a black velvet Jag, almost oval in shape, with a broad velvet strap handle, lining of white satin and covered frame closed with white metal ball fastening. Across he top of the gathered velvet bag preads an exquisite butterfly of white metal One pays about twenty dol ars for this pretty trifle of bagdom. At little more than twenty comes theatre bag of marine blue panne

lars is an envelope muff-purse of black or colored pin seal with enam- eled clasp and lining of corn-colored moire silk. A huff purse of pearl gray pin seal, envelope style, has clasp of carved bone and lining of white kid and the price is ten-f1fty.
 For travelling and automobile use there are dozens of convenient and luxurious bags, some in the square or oblong English dressing style. with fittings ranged around the sides and room in the center for folded nightgown and negligee; others tiny affairs carrying only toilet accessories and compartment for Jewels. One overnight bag holds number of things, yet when drawn up on it's cord handles, the compact pockets at the bottom leave space for negligee, night gown and boudoir slippers. This bag Is of very heavy bengaline silk bro ,aded with velvet flowers. The bag lining is of cream colored kid which makes the bag extra firm and sub- stantial, for all its graceful outlines. At the bottom is reinforced circle of kid and on this is the group of shirred silk pockets which hold the toilet be- longings.

The pockets, set on rather high. are attached to a narrow belt which runs all the way around the back. Thus he loose blouse is made to define the waistline very daintily.
 Hand-Smocked Morning Blouses.
 For sport wear or morning wear Tn the house, is a new smocked blouse which has a much more pleasing line than the ungainly loose smock of last summer. In this case the blouse is drawn in at the hip by shocking, as well as at the bust and across the rack; in fact there is as much smock- Ing as one could possibly put on a blouse, and because of this the sleeve with saucy inconsequence has been left unsmocked. This blouse is of rose pink pussy willow taffeta with smock- ng done by hand in self color. Mar row black velvet ribbons. run through 2rocheted rings, draw up the fronts and also slashes over the hips. A tiny double frill of the taffeta is made by

 A blouse of sheer, soft book muslin, as fine and thin as any woven fabric can be; is pintucked all the way across the back and along each shoulder seam in front, the tiny tucks. all set by hand, running down about four inches on the blouse. There is sailor collar trimmed with three little overlapping ruffies of the material each corded and whipped along the edge, and turned back cuffs have the same exquisitely dainty hand-hnish To prove that this blouse is French there are three smart bows of crisp black ribbon, one at the point of the

 Vcstecs of Pastel Silk and Brocade.
 Adorable indeed are the little ves- tees of tinted silk which interpose layer of dressings between blouse and coatfront. Of various materials are these smart ve5tees; taffeta, brocaded satin, embroidered faille, atin-striped silk and even gold and silver lace over rich color. The degree of elegance of the vestee depends. of course, upon the sort of tailleur it is to accompany. In addition to its prettiness, also, 1t has a practical mission: 1t adds warmth-just enough warmth under the new spring coat when the weather has sharp hint of tagging winter, yet one desires to appear in new spring apparel. One pretty vestee of glove silk is in sweet-pea lavender shade. The edge trimming is black and white satin ribbon, stitched on by machine and white pearl buttons are fastened with silk cord loops.

 Smaller silk bags, shirred on frames ,f shell and supplied with vanity fit-i lings, come in black, gray and various ,hades. A new Idea Is the gathering ,f the silk on heavy cords around the ower part of the bag. Two or three ,f these corded shirrings give a very handsome effect.
 Leather handbags there are-oh, res to be sure!-but they are scarcely 10 be numbered among the elite of ,agdom. Yet some of them cost tidy mms of money after all.
