SATIN RIBBON FOR LINGERIE
Washable Variety Is Much Used on the
Daintiest Underwear In Favor
This Season.

Washable satin ribbon Is now almost
as much used for lingerie as Is the
conventional wash ribbon. A novelty
for lingerie ribbon is white ribbon
edged with tiny thread of gold. Ros.
cites are used on underwear, and so
are flowers made Of folded satin rib
bon In blue and pink. When taking
advantage of the many attractive bar
gains In white crepes and lingerie
silks, remember that all these mate
rails, especially the crepes, shrink
lengthwise, and especially in making
combinations of camisoles hand-run
tucks should be put In. These tucks
may be put In above the waist or ut
the knee, the latter being the more
convenient place.
The nightgowns of the present time
are so elaborate and SO charmingly
dainty that they must have case for
themselves. Take piece of linen and
fold 1t In envelope shape. Regulate
the size according to taste. The flap
of the case should be scalloped and
u flower or conventional design EN-
broidered on II. A touch of color can
be Introduced by lining the case In any
pastel shade.

If you are looking about for Il pretty
model for an afternoon gown 1t almost
goes without saying that you want u
smart one.piece straight-hanging frock.
There are many materials that provide
o choice for making it, but satin or
chiffon velvet, or both combined, lie up
permost i'm the mind, If the dress Is to
be elegant rather than practical.
The one.piece dress offers the de-
sgner the best of opportunities for
making effective combinations of ma
terials. Serge and satin, and other
cloths with satin or velvet, crepe with
velvet, or fur and cloths with fur-fub-
rics, are Il few that have been made so
successfully that they pave the way to
many more.
A lovely combination of satin and
chiffon velvet Is shown I'm the picture.
in this the chiffon velvet. is cut In
redingote style over satin that has the
effect of an underdress. A panel Of
satin. from collar to hem, is defined
ON the edges, with small velvet-cOvered
buttons set about IN inch apart. The
dress has u long waistline and mar.
row velvet belt edged with fur. The
belt terminates mt each side Of the
front panel, where 1t Is fastened to
the dress with large velvet button.
A small plated cape Of velvet, fin
ishcd with narrow banding of fur,
falls to the shoulders. This Is feature
which marks this dress design for

A new bag for lady's toilet arti-
cles, when she goes travelling, Is very
clever. 1t Is n made-at- home affair of
heavy silk, plain or figured, lined with
silk or cloth In contrasting color. 1t
is circular and draws upon II silk cord.
Upon opening 1t, all the toilet requis-
ties are discovered very tldily and coz
lily arranged. This particular bag may
be made In miniature, with complete
fittings, like an amplified vanity bag,
and 1t Is u treasure for the overnight
visit.
A round powder box, enclosed in a
small bag, Is attached to the center of
the circular piece of silk. This small
bag closes with silk cord and pro-
vides support for several compart-
ments that are ranged about II. These
compartments contain all those things
which are necessary to milady's toilet,
including n small hairbrush and comb,
hand mirror, toothbrush and paste in
Il glass holder toilet powder, clothes
brush, scissors, and needlecase.
The arrangement is so complete and
compact that there Is still room for II
soft nightdrcss of batiste or silk, ex-
ira handkerchiefs, etc. The smaller
bags will not carry these, bus are mar

The Newest Hats.

The hats of the moment are dull.
There Is a "cloche" hat with high
crown, a Chinese hat with a wide,
turned-up brim, and quantities of SOL
emn toQues. But any day may bring
a quite new shape which will abolish
this dullness, and meanwhile the wiser
women are keeping to the becoming
three-cornered shapes worn with n
well-put-On veil. The new tailor
mades and coats seem to need a fair
ly high hat, but as yet they are all
too heavy or too hard. 1t does not
look as If feathers will be much worn,
but fur Is still used layishly. The
plainness of the present couture
makes simplicity in hats necessity,
and although some young women are
to be seen wearing fantastic curls
about their ears and neck, those Golf
fures are not In the best style.

Into the front of this bar large brass

 According to the Hartford youth. he came to this city yesterday afternoon and at the Hotel Grand met a strang- CT who insisted that he was an old friend and that he had known him several years ago in Boston. Inno- gently. Grant showed the stranger his $6O roll and the latter borrowed it just to see how it felt to have so much money in his pocket. He disappeared and so did the roll.
 Later Grant told a different story to the police. He said he met a third stranger who introduced him to a cute little gambling game. He was not a consistent winner and finally stranger No. 1 borrowed the roll to win back his losses. Again the duo disappeared and likewise the roll.

DETECTIVES TO INSPECT
 MILFORD'S DEAD MAN
Body Found Hanging from Tree May Be That of
 Jean CrOnes.

Milford, March 30-To investigate the report that the unidentified body found hanging from the limb of an apple tree in this township a week ago is that of Jean Crones, is the mission of detectives on the way to Milford from Chicago, according to authorita- tive information today.
 Sheriff Mallory, of this town, went to Bridgeport today and gave the po- lice of that city description of the body. The description tallies with that of Crones, wanted in Chicago where he is alleged to have poisoned the purpose, it is believed, of causing the death of Bishop Mundelein and 200 guests.
 The only difference in the descrip- tions is that the dead mans eyes are blue while those of Crones were brown. Undertaken George J. Smith, who has charge of the body, says there is a possibility of the eyes changing color due to strangulation, when bluish film covers the eye ball. The authorities in Chicago were noti- fled and at their request Undertaken Smith has been instructed to hold the body until further instruction.
 During the week hundreds have viewed the body but none could iden- tify it and it was generally accepted that the man was never in the section before The clothing worn by the man bore the trade mark of Adler and Company, of Chicago.
